Chapter 115 (1/2)
Zhou Shuangyin looked at the flame beast with a look of ecstasy, which was more exaggerated than when he saw the Green Dragon: ”Maple, you don't know. Although flame beasts are not rare, few can grow to adulthood. I've lived half my life. I've never heard of anyone who has ever owned an adult flame beast... ”
”Why? Flame beasts will always grow up. As long as they are well fed, there can be no adult flame beasts. ” I couldn't help but wonder: ”I'm a flame beast. I'll grow up soon after I follow. It's nothing strange.”
Zhou Shuangyin looked at me and still looked at the flame beast: ”when the flame beast was not grown up, it was really easy to catch, and he also liked living with humans. But the growth of each flame beast is very slow. For example, compared with humans, if a flame beast wants to grow up, it needs at least more than a dozen generations of people to feed together... ”
My heart moved and I couldn't help frowning: ”how many generations have fed it? How many years will it take? ”
Zhou Shuangyin said, ”so I say adult flame beasts are rare. Flame beast, like green dragon horse, is a spirit beast with very slow growth and long life. But flame beasts live longer and are more difficult to raise. Flame beasts have a long life. As time goes by, they slowly produce wisdom and become smarter and smarter. Finally, they may even spit out people's words and turn into human shapes like humans... ”
I really want to interrupt Zhou Shuangyin, because my flame beast has grown up, but it can't spit out people's words, let alone turn into human form.
Seeing my doubts, Zhou Shuangyin smiled and explained, ”of course, this is a legend. I don't know whether it is true or not. However, it is recorded in books that adult flame beasts have extraordinary intelligence. They can easily see through some human shortcomings, such as greed, hypocrisy, selfishness and so on, so they choose to leave human beings and hide in a place without human trace. ”
I looked at the flame beast and said with a trace of confusion, ”this flame beast doesn't have what you said. Does it mean it hasn't really grown up?”
Zhou Shuangyin shook his head: ”I don't know. I heard that adult flame beasts will never let humans find them... That's why I'm surprised. Your flame beast looks obviously adult and still follows you. It's too unthinkable.”
I never knew these secrets. After listening to Zhou Shuangyin's words, I felt puzzled for a while.
I also wondered why the flame beast followed me all the time: ”I don't know. Anyway, after I met it, it always followed me. It always ran back when it left me occasionally for a few days...”
Zhou Shuangyin's face was incredible. Looking at the flame beast was like seeing a peerless beauty. His eyes were full of love.
I remembered some things before and tried to guess: ”when it first met me, it was hurt and I helped it treat it... And when it broke through, it wanted to go to some very rare spirit grass from me. Is it because of gratitude that it stayed?”
Zhou Shuangyin also said suspiciously, ”it's very possible. You should cherish this rare opportunity and be kind to it. Maybe it will bring you unexpected benefits in the future. Flame beast's special ability is to find treasures, especially good at finding natural and earth treasures, which will be of great benefit to your future cultivation. Remember my words and don't let it run away because you're bad to it. ”
I smiled: ”before, we often fought for some unknown spirit grass... By the way, Dad, I found a lot of spirit grass in the endless swamp this time, all on the back of the green dragon. I'll take it and see what's precious. We'll use it later, and sell all the others.”
Zhou Shuangyin said with a smile, ”well, maple has really grown up. In the past, you knew how to spend money, but you didn't know how to make money... Ha ha... ”
