"Lord Buck, you actually tamed a Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull?!"
Lady Yongge’s surprised expression was completely different from her usual calm demeanor, and she didn’t even call him "Lord" but "sir."
Upon hearing Lady Yongge’s exclamation, some mages seemed to realize something and looked at Lin Ke’s mount with a heated gaze.
The little eyes of the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull also flashed a hint of pride.
"What’s the matter, is it very precious?" Lin Ke raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t heard of this breed in Naseng.
Realizing her loss of composure, Lady Yongge slightly nodded, her aura rippling out and then retracting.
The aura belonging to a Holy Sanctuary Mage calmed the minds of some around, who returned to their tasks.
Lady Yongge then approached Lin Ke and whispered, "Sir Buck, the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull has ancient legends..."
Lin Ke dismounted as he listened to Lady Yongge’s introduction.
The Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull was originally an ordinary species, extremely rare in number, and it’s said that its blood actually comes from outside Faser.
In history, there are few records and much fame, with the strongest being the first one.
The first one is the current Volcano God, which is also the origin of the name Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull.
It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, when the first Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull arrived, all volcanoes in Faser erupted simultaneously, terrifying in the extreme.
At that time, it was only due to the gods suppressing the eruption that an ecological catastrophe was avoided.
In the end, this Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull negotiated something unknown with the gods and eventually became the Volcano God.
From that time on, the Sky God and other gods combined their divine kingdoms into an all-encompassing, massive magic array.
Under the protection of that magic array, no otherworldly visitors have arrived from then until now.
And that magic array was centered on the Sky God, appearing as if it were the garment of the Sky God.
As for the subsequent Black Gold Volcano Demon Bulls that appeared, they were all descendants of this Volcano God, with some even becoming servant gods, demigods, and sub-gods, stirring up storms in Faser and eventually joining various pantheons.
Lady Yongge felt that those who knew of the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull’s existence would surely be tempted.
Not just because of its grand origin, but most importantly, the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull can directly become a Sanctuary entity upon adulthood!
The Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull, even knowing nothing from a young age except eating and drinking, upon reaching adulthood can naturally break through to the Sanctuary.
Such a powerful talent means that even an ordinary mage, after contracting this Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull, would gain a powerful Sanctuary-level partner upon its adulthood.
"Adulthood naturally reaches Level 11?" Lin Ke was quite surprised to hear this.
In Naseng, there are many who naturally grow to above Level 10, such as Phoenixes, Dragons, and Banshees, with a minimum of Level 15 upon adulthood, depending on their bloodline talent.
Like the Insomnia Emperor and the offspring of the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, each Heinz is stronger than the last, and aside from Rica, everyone is a legend.
Even that Rica, who has been indulging in eating, drinking, and romance these past years, levels up faster than Lin Ke.
That’s racial advantage for you.
But actually, most races can’t be that strong without cultivation.
And like the Phoenix, without awakening its bloodline, taking on a profession, or having powerful skills...
It would just be a beast with brute strength.
The Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull before him was already considered very powerful in Great Wilderness City’s current mount system.
Strong mounts like the Lava Lion or the Green Water Python were not present in large numbers.
The primary sales come from the Bloodthirsty Iron Bull family, but the Bloodthirsty Iron Bull family usually only reaches Levels 5 or 6 upon adulthood, with limited potential, only supported by a King of Magical Beasts.
Additionally, there are the exquisitely nurtured Fernwood Golden-eyed Wolves from the Herbal Development Department, treasured dearly.
Overall, Great Wilderness City has high-quality magical beasts and mounts for sale, but there are few mid-grade products.
This time, if we could capture a few more Black Gold Volcano Demon Bulls for breeding, it might yield excellent results,
And perhaps, someday, if Rica’s sister could visit and help breed a Volcano God here, the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull might become a specialty and signature of Great Wilderness City!
You know, in Naseng, the nobles, strongmen, chieftains, and councilors as main combat unit "knights" consume quite a lot of mounts annually.
The Gula Kingdom alone has a massive deficit of mounts.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke couldn’t help but stroke the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull by his side with even more tenderness.
This bull is still a calf; it’ll be a few more years before it can breed, probably. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
The Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull, being stroked by Lin Ke, felt a deep sense of dread in its soul.
"Moo..." the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull couldn’t help but snort out two bursts of sulfuric gas from its nostrils, moving uneasily closer to Lin Ke.
Only by the side of the strongest Lin Ke did the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull feel a sense of peace.
It thought, luckily I sided with this powerful human before my enemies found me, otherwise I’d be dead twice over by now...
The Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull couldn’t help but feel grateful, believing that the terrifying chill must be coming from an enemy wanting to devour it.
But before that enemy could find it, its sixth sense had compelled it to submit to the stronger entity before it.
At first, it felt a bit defiant, for through its bloodline knowledge, it knew how powerful and noble its lineage was.
This was a divine bloodline!
To reach the Sanctuary upon adulthood!
However, the deep-seated chill from its very soul after submitting twice told it...
Fortunately, it submitted to this strong entity!
Otherwise, it might have been killed in the struggle for the Bright Tulip or devoured by a stronger magical beast predator.
With these thoughts, the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull couldn’t help but edge closer to Lin Ke again, affectionately nudging Lin Ke’s hand with its head, larger than Lin Ke’s torso, as if only that could provide it a bit more security.
Lin Ke didn’t know what the calf was thinking, so he patted its head: "Go play, but stay alert."
"...So, this ferocious and brutal yet incomparably powerful... hmm, maybe there are discrepancies in historical records, but overall it’s a very rare magical beast."
Lady Yongge completed her information on the Black Gold Volcano Demon Bull, also surprised at how tame this one seemed, thus musing that historical records could indeed be erroneous.
She then thought for a moment and reminded, "Oh, by the way, Sir Buck, these high-level magical beasts all appeared in the nearby forest, which is quite unusual."
High-level magical beasts?
Lin Ke was taken aback, realizing a blind spot he hadn’t noticed before.
In Faser, Levels 7 to 9 were considered high-level magical beasts, typically only found in treacherous and dangerous magical beast habitats.
But this place wasn’t such a treacherous land!
