Era of Beast Taming: Obtaining a Sacred Blazing Angel Right Off the Bat - Chapter 32
At dusk.
The sun was setting in the small courtyard.
Zhou Ming was tasting the tea and snacks made by the Little Chef.
He was ready to rest after watching the sunset.
However, under the reflection of the setting sun, a hunchbacked figure appeared.
“Zhou Ming is watching the sunset here. It’s so beautiful!”
“If I had known earlier, I would have come earlier!”
“Sigh, I missed such a wonderful sunset!”
An old man who was staggering, appeared at the door of the small courtyard, panting heavily.
“Uncle Wang, why are you here so late? Come over and have a seat and drink some tea while you’re at it.”
Zhou Ming stood up and invited him.
His small courtyard was at the peak of the mountain.
It would take an hour for a young man to walk up.
Not to mention an old man…
“Aiya, this tea of yours is really amazing!”
“This old man has drunk tea all my life, but I have never drunk such tea!”
“Why does it feel like a divine medicine!”
Uncle Wang looked at the tea in his hand in surprise and repeatedly praised.
Just now, he realized that although this tea looked ordinary…
The fragrance of the tea would only burst out after it entered his stomach!
It was amazing!
Moreover, a weak force soaked through his entire body!
The fatigue in his entire body disappeared!
There was also a refreshing feeling.
“Hahaha.”
Zhou Ming nodded with a smile and did not say much.
This tea was grown by the Little Chef.
It contained spiritual energy!
When an ordinary person drank it, they would indeed feel as if they had consumed a spiritual medicine!
“Sigh, if I had known earlier, I would have come over to drink your good tea some time ago.”
“I don’t think I’ll have the chance in the future!”
Uncle Wang sighed softly and looked at the teacup in his hand.
His eyes were filled with helplessness.
“Could it be that Aunt Li is strict with you? She doesn’t allow you to come out and wander around randomly?” Zhou Ming asked with a smile.
“That old woman would dare control me? She doesn’t even dare speak loudly to me! Back then, she was the one who cried and begged to marry me!”
When he heard Zhou Ming mention his own old lady…
Uncle Wang began to brag.
Instantly, he had the imposing manner of giving pointers to the country!
However!
After saying that, he didn’t have that imposing manner.
His eyes revealed a reluctance to part.
After taking a sip of tea, he let out a long sigh!
“Sigh, this old lady has accompanied me for many years!”
“Over these years, she has also experienced many ups and downs.”
“Before Qingya, she could be considered to be an empty house!”
“Zhou Ming, I came here this time to ask you for something.”
“I feel that in less than two days, I will die…”
“I hope that you can help take care of Qingya and the others in the future.”
As he spoke.
Two streams of tears flowed down Uncle Wang’s wrinkled face…
He looked expectantly at Zhou Ming.
“Aiya, Uncle Wang, don’t talk nonsense. The phrase ‘old and strong’ is used to describe you.” Zhou Ming tried to persuade him.
He didn’t take Uncle Wang’s words seriously.
Although uncle Wang looked a little old, it was only because he worked in the fields all year round.
The wind blew and the sun was shining.
His age was probably at most 50 years old.
“Zhou Ming, take a look.”
“I really don’t have much time left.”
Uncle Wang smiled bitterly and pulled up his sleeve.
The arm under the sleeve was pitch black.
And it seemed to have rotted, just like the skin of a zombie.
It was still squirming!
It was very scary!
“Uncle Wang, what’s wrong with you?”
Zhou Ming frowned and asked in puzzlement.
Looking at the squirming skin.
Zhou Ming knew clearly that this was not caused by age!
It was more like those zombies in video games!
But there was no such thing as zombies in this world.
Zhou Ming speculated that it might be related to Mirage Beasts!
“Sigh, that’s why I said, I don’t have much time!”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing Zhou Ming’s concerned tone.
Uncle Wang smiled in relief and took a sip of tea.
It seemed like it didn’t matter anymore!
Then, he pulled up the leg of his pants.
It was even more terrifying. One could even vaguely see the bones!
“Uncle Wang, what on Earth is going on?”
Zhou Ming asked with concern.
Uncle Wang let out a long sigh.
His originally relaxed brows also furrowed tightly.
His eyes revealed a look of fear.
“Gulp!”
Uncle Wang gulped and shakily took out his old pipe.
After taking two puffs of smoke.
He recalled the past!
…
“When I was young, I was also a famous hunter in Yulan town.
“I had over a dozen brothers.
“On a day when the mountain was sealed by heavy snow.
“I led my team and rushed to a mountain range.
“I originally thought that I could get a few low ranked Mirage Beasts.
“But when I got there, I didn’t see a single beast.
“Then there was an avalanche, and all my brothers died in that crisis.
“But Lai survived.
“But he was also seriously injured.
“As night approached, a monster with scarlet eyes stared at me.
“I picked up my shotgun and fired several shots.
“But the monster didn’t dodge at all!
“And it was getting closer and closer to me.
“My heart steeled, and I jumped down the canyon.
“Fortunately, there was a pool of lake water below, and I survived.
“After coming back, I thought everything was fine!
“But one day, I discovered that the skin on my body was beginning to change bit by bit!
“I searched all the famous doctors in Yulan town, but they were all unable to treat me.
“In the end, a Beastmaster said that I was cursed by a Mirage Beast!
“Through my many years of understanding…
“The Mirage Beast I saw with Scarlet Eyes…
“Was called Guinevere!
“It was a cursed Mirage Beast!
“It must have been disturbed by the appearance of humans!” After uncle Wang finished speaking, his brows relaxed.
However, his eyes were still filled with fear.
After a while, he took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled deeply.
