Draw the Poké Ball at the start

Qi Kaidong became very entangled and irritable after agreeing to the three people to take a ride in the caravan.

He considers himself an old man running a business and has never seen any big storms.

But being cared for by someone was really the first time I met him.

For a moment, my mind didn't even think about it, and I actually acquiesced.

Looking back afterwards, there are obviously other ways to handle this matter.

But he chose the stupidest one.

If something happened on the road behind him, Qi Kaidong's reputation in this industry would be ruined.

Even if the cargo owner doesn't trouble him, he won't have the shame to continue in this business in the future.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, he who was originally leading the way found an excuse and moved to the back of the team.

Always pay attention to every move of those three people.

But it seemed the three were telling the truth, they were just there for food and a ride.

Qi Kaidong discovered that they had been lying in the car since they finished eating.

Not only did they not talk to the people in the caravan, they also had no communication with each other.

This seems a bit abnormal.

He could still understand if he didn't talk to the people in the caravan. After all, they were unfamiliar with them, and if he talked too much, he would be considered to be asking for information.

It is easy to cause misunderstanding.

But if they don't talk to each other, he can't understand it at all.

I also secretly speculated whether they were using some secret code to communicate.

But after observing for a period of time, he was surprised to find out.

It turned out that it wasn't that they didn't talk, but that they all seemed to have fallen asleep in the car.

At first, Qi Kaedong thought they were pretending to be asleep in order to lower his vigilance.

But as he observed for a long time, he actually faintly heard snoring.

Only then did he realize that the three of them were not pretending, they were really asleep.

His expression became very strange at that time.

I didn't expect that the person I was secretly guarding against would not be guarded against me at all.

He never thought that there would be such a person in the world, who would dare to sleep unpreparedly in front of unfamiliar people.

Is it a big heart, or is there something wrong with the brain?

Even if they really have powerful pet masters, but they haven't summoned a pet, they are just like ordinary people.

As long as his neck is wiped, he is still dead.

He felt a little more reassured when he was sure that the three of them wouldn't wake up for a while.

Go to the front of the team again to lead the way, and ask your subordinates to pay more attention to them.

In this way, the caravan continued until the sun was about to set, and then Qi Kaidong found a place to settle down.

The people in the caravan have a clear division of labor, and everyone knows what they should do.

Those who pitched tents pitched tents, and those who made fires cooked meals.

However, the vast majority of people are still silently alert to the movements around them to prevent being attacked by wild pets or people with malicious intentions.

At this moment, Qi Kaidong discovered that the three people on the cart had woken up and were all sitting in the car in a daze.

It seems that he is not fully awake yet.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Three of you, it's getting late now, and we're still some distance from the next town.

This mountain road is difficult to walk at night.

So we decided to rest here tonight and continue on the road tomorrow morning.

If you are in an emergency and need to rush to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains as soon as possible, you can..."

Before Qi Kaidong could speak, he was interrupted by the young man who seemed to be the leader of the three.

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we can leave with you tomorrow."

The bald man and the fat man on the side also nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Qi Kaidong was speechless.

I don’t know if I said it too tactfully, or if they were deliberately pretending to be stupid.

But if the other party didn't leave, there was nothing he could do.

After a moment of silence, Qi Kaidong smiled awkwardly and said:

"That's okay, that's okay."

At this moment, a strange voice sounded.

Gu…

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and at the same time turned their attention to the place where the sound came from.

Being stared at by three people like this, Zhang Shaoyang's face suddenly turned red, he held his stomach and shouted:

"Look what I'm going to do, why don't you try to go without eating for a day?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Hao Jun and Sun Zhe again, and said angrily:

“You two are also to blame for this.

If you hadn't finished eating everything at noon, would I have been hungry? "

Sun Zhe opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

But Hao Jun shrank his neck and muttered:

"Didn't you say you wanted to sleep and not eat?"

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, recalling what he seemed to have said at the time.

But with his character, there is no way he can admit his mistakes.

He immediately choked and said:

“If I say I don’t want to eat, why don’t you eat?

Then if I ask you not to eat for a day, will you really not eat for a whole day? "

After hearing this, Hao Jun and Sun Zhe were speechless.

Even Qi Kaidong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Afraid that they would get angry if they kept arguing like this, Qi Kaedong said quickly:

"Don't worry, little brother, we are already cooking and it will be ready to eat soon."

As he spoke, the fragrance filled the air.

Zhang Shaoyang sniffed hard and swallowed secretly.

He didn't care about Hao Jun and Sun Zhe anymore, and couldn't wait to pull Qi Kaidong towards the place where the fragrance was wafting.

As they walked, they talked about something.

Hao Jun and Sun Zhe on the cart looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and quickly followed.

After a simple conversation, Zhang Shaoyang and Qi Kaidong knew each other's names.

Zhang Shaoyang originally wanted to ask Qi Kaidong some other things.

But as soon as the sound of "dinner is ready" sounded, he forgot about it.

Since they were in the wild, the caravan’s dinner was simply a pot of meat soup cooked with dried bacon.

There is no seasoning or anything like that, just some coarse salt.

But even so, the fragrance that permeated the air almost made Zhang Shaoyang drool all over the floor.

After receiving the bowl of meat soup from Qi Kaidong, Zhang Shaoyang thanked him, ignoring that the meat soup was still very hot.

After blowing it perfunctorily twice, I poured it into my mouth.

The hot meat stew immediately burned his mouth until it stung, and he gasped for air.

But even though his scalp was numb from the heat, he did not spit out the soup.

After a while, he found that the temperature in his mouth had dropped to an acceptable level before he swallowed it.

Then the second round of "self-mutilation" began.

After drinking three full bowls of meat soup, Zhang Shaoyang returned to his normal eating speed when he felt his stomach was no longer burning.

But when he was about to take the fourth bowl, he found that the meat soup in the pot had reached the bottom, so he had to give up.

Licking his lips with unfinished thoughts, Zhang Shaoyang walked slowly to Qi Kaidong, who was still drinking meat soup, and stared at him silently.

Qi Kaidong felt uncomfortable looking at him.

Qi Kaidong hesitated for a moment, then handed the bowl over.

Zhang Shaoyang couldn't help but was stunned. He realized that his action had misunderstood Qi Kaidong, and he quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, I've already eaten. I just want to ask you something."

Upon hearing this, Qi Kaidong slowly took the bowl back and said:

"What's the matter? Tell me."

At the same time, he increased his vigilance.

If Zhang Shaoyang asked him about this caravan later, it would indicate that Zhang Shaoyang and the other three might be paying attention to something secretly.

But it was completely different from what he thought. Zhang Shaoyang was not interested in their caravan at all.

Just listen to Zhang Shaoyang say:

“I took a look before and found that the distance from Giant Rock City to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is more than 500 kilometers.

But my companion said that this is a straight line distance, and there are some dangerous places in the middle that require detours.

If we really want to go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it will probably take a month or two.

I would like to ask, is there no shorter way? "

Qi Kaidong frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said:

“There is indeed a shortcut, but as your friend said, it is very dangerous.

Unless they are extremely powerful pet masters, no one will take shortcuts.

The path we are taking now will almost certainly take that long.

Even for those of us who are used to walking this route, it will take at least a little more than a month. "

Zhang Shaoyang was suddenly disappointed.

He originally thought that a businessman like Qi Kaidong would know some shortcuts, but he didn't expect that the same path as Sun Zhe knew.

The thought of spending such a long time on the road made him lose the energy to do anything.

After chatting casually with Qi Kaedong for a few words, he left.

In fact, Zhang Shaoyang's question was purely unnecessary.

Compared with Qi Kaidong, Sun Zhe has never run a caravan full-time.

But he had also been involved with some pet master teams before.

Many of them have been to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.

As a member of the team responsible for investigation, it is necessary to study the best route.

The conclusion that it would take "one month or even two months" was what he came to after practicing.

After returning disappointed from Qi Kaidong, Zhang Shaoyang returned to the cart where he had been before and re-planned his next trip.

His original plan of obtaining the remaining nine pet master competition badges within a month was naturally not possible.

And considering that they also need to help Hao Jun and Sun Zhe contract two more royal pets each to meet the requirements for participating in the Pet Master Competition.

It takes a lot of time.

Although Nie Xingyuan had told him before, there were still almost three years until the main event of the Pet Master Competition started.

But it’s always good to get enough badges to officially compete as soon as possible to avoid any changes.

Zhang Shaoyang didn't know much about the area of ​​Landuo Continent before.

Now that he knew it would take two months to get from Giant Rock City to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, he immediately felt a sense of urgency.

He finally understood why the Pet Master Competition took so long from registration to the official start.

It turns out that the total time it takes to obtain the pet master competition badge may only take less than a day.

The bulk of the time is spent traveling in between.

After some careful thinking, he decided to wait until he reached the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains to solve the problem of beast souls first.

After that, I didn’t look for any opportunities and directly exchanged the evolution formula and gave it to Hao Jun.

If you have a reason, just give it a try.

As for whether Sun Zhe would become suspicious, he no longer cared about it.

After spending a few days together, he found that Sun Zhe was quite a good person.

Hardworking, never complaining, knowing what to ask and what not to ask.

He has initially gained some trust.

But it will take a longer period of observation to fully believe in Sun Zhe.

After making up his mind, Zhang Shaoyang's only melancholy disappeared.

He lay comfortably on the cart, crossed his legs, and swayed.

He put his arms under his head and stared at the starry sky in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but a cold wind blew by, waking him up.

The wind at night in late autumn is no less gentle than in the cold winter months.

Zhang Shaoyang immediately shivered, turned over, sat up, and tightened his clothes.

At this time, he suddenly realized that something was missing.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had been lying on the cart for so long, and Hao Jun and Sun Zhe hadn't come back yet.

He couldn't help but look around.

The entire camp was not big, and Zhang Shaoyang discovered Hao Jun and Sun Zhe after just a few glances.

He found that Hao Jun and Sun Zhe were gathered around the fire, talking and laughing with the people in the caravan.

"Hey, when did their relationship become so good?"

From the time they entered the caravan until now, apart from a brief exchange with Qi Kaedong, they had only spoken one or two words to the person who had given them food before.

They stayed on the cart after that.

But he didn't expect that while he was in a daze, Hao Jun and Sun Zhe would become so familiar with the people in the caravan.

This surprised him greatly.

With Hao Jun's social skills, he would never be able to do this.

He felt that Sun Zhe must have played a role.

But when Zhang Shaoyang got closer, he realized that he had thought wrong.

Sun Zhe didn't speak, just smiled and listened.

The person who spoke turned out to be Hao Jun, who he thought had insufficient social skills.

Hao Jun was seen dancing and gesticulating while talking non-stop.

Zhang Shaoyang listened carefully and realized that Hao Jun was talking about what happened when they first met the giant anaconda.

"...You don't know that my senior was not afraid at all when he faced the man in black robe with three dire wolves and a mountain monitor lizard.

He also rescued me and the people from the Canglan Training Center from those men in black robes.

But because of this, he and the men in black robes fell into a swarm of poisonous snakes.

It wouldn't matter if there were just some poisonous snakes. With my senior's strength, I would definitely be able to destroy them easily.

But what I didn't expect was that behind these poisonous snakes, there was also the overlord of the giant rock mountain, the giant anaconda! "

"Giant Anaconda!"

When they heard that there was actually a commander-level royal pet, everyone around them exclaimed in surprise.

The three dire wolves and the mountain monitor lizard were nothing more than that, but the giant anaconda was a well-known existence to them living in the giant rock city.

They had no idea that one of the three young men who hitched a ride with them today could actually survive in the face of such a vicious royal pet.

It seems that his strength is not lower than that of the team leader Qi Kaidong.

Qi Kaidong was also very happy about this. Fortunately, he had not taken action before.

Otherwise, with Zhang Shaoyang's ability to escape from the giant anaconda's mouth, it would be more than enough to deal with them.

Hearing the exclamations around him, Hao Jun also stopped in time.

Looking around, there was an expression of enjoyment on his face.

It was as if he was the object of admiration around him.

He couldn't help but straighten his back and secretly enjoy it.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he felt someone tap him on his shoulder.

Looking back with some displeasure, I found it was Zhang Shaoyang.

Hao Jun's heart suddenly tightened and he shrank his neck.

He quickly stood up from his seat and asked Zhang Shaoyang to sit down.

Zhang Shaoyang glanced at him with a half-smile, and sat down without any politeness.

He smiled and said:

"He was unconscious at the time and has no idea what happened. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Shaoyang.

...
