I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

Lu Yuan used his beast taming skill, Divine Acupuncture, to give the mantis beast a few acupuncture treatments, slightly correcting its posture and giving it some inspiration.

The two little mantis beasts held up their swords and suddenly felt an electric current flash through their arms, causing their whole bodies to shudder.

The blocking stance can block physical attacks, but it cannot block attacks from the spiritual realm such as divine acupuncture.

The postures of the two mantis beasts were somewhat unstable, their front limbs began to tremble, and they were in danger of falling down.

"Hold on, this is to improve your proficiency, you must learn to fight back and keep your lower body steady.

“Even if you are in a complex environment, your blocking stance must be stable.

"As long as you can stay steady every time and hold your ground in the face of interference, you will be able to master this skill much faster."

Lu Yuan’s instructions gave the two little mantis beasts profound insights and they were very grateful to him.

Once you have learned the blocking stance, it is extremely difficult to improve it, because it is difficult to discover the shortcomings of your own stance by practicing standing meditation alone.

Only by experiencing failure in repeated transitions between offense and defense can one slowly sum up experience and then learn how to exert force to maintain a blocking posture in any situation.

And this is only the learning method for the proficiency level. When it comes to the master level, the learning method has to be changed again, turning into learning in the mood, and no longer requiring learning in battle.

You should learn different methods at different stages. After Lu Yuan used Shenjue acupuncture to stimulate the core muscle groups, he explained the subsequent precautions to Jiang Bo.

The two mantis beasts fight each other every day to practice offense and defense. The defending side uses blocking defense, while the attacking side imitates the mountain-opening attack method.

The wounds are smeared with red mud leaf elixir every day, and the beastmaster himself also has to make a post-battle summary for the pet, such as which step was too weak, which step should give up defense, and take advantage of the opponent's stiff movements to counterattack.

These are all required courses for combat-type beastmasters.

As a training-type beastmaster, why does Lu Yuan teach in such detail?

Because he had a fighting spirit, but due to his talent problem, he entered the training department.

Although I am in the training department, my heart is in the combat department, and I always pay attention to combat tips.

Of course, the above teaching process is also one of the work contents of the training department, and it is not entirely the key points of the combat department.

In terms of job positions, they are generally called skill trainers or combat trainers. They will help others train specific skills and charge a training fee after successful training.

At this time, Lu Yuan heard the rumbling sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside the house.

This was a festive sound, but when he saw Jiang Bo's face suddenly change, he immediately changed his mind. This was not a celebratory sound.

"The battle has begun?"

"Yes, let's eat quickly and prepare for the sudden attack of the Nian beast." Jiang Bo's heart sank and he turned around and went back to eat.

"It's already this late, why are you still eating?" Lu Yuan was puzzled.

In modern times, the New Year’s Eve dinner is a meal for the whole family to reunite and celebrate the New Year together. It is also a festive meal before the New Year.

Uncle Jiang shook his head and said, "If you don't eat now, you might not be able to eat tomorrow. This is the New Year's Eve dinner, the last dinner of the year."

Jiang Xue also nodded and said, "Senior, only after eating the New Year's Eve dinner can you have strength to go to the battlefield. Please eat quickly."

As she spoke, she still left most of the meat on the plate and didn't dare to take any.

Lu Yuan lives in a happy future and is unaware of the hardships of his ancestors.

Looking at the two people with expressions as if they were ready to die, with no sign of joy at all, Lu Yuan felt the weight of the disaster caused by the beast Nian in ancient times.

This is an annual disaster, a disaster that will appear in the history of mankind in every era. People in later generations may not be able to understand the danger, but people living in this era have to worry every year about whether their entire family can survive.

In ancient times, the New Year’s Eve dinner was not a celebration of the New Year, but a family meal prepared with all one’s strength because one did not know whether one’s family would survive to see the New Year.

"Okay, I'll eat as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan originally wanted Dabai to help him show off his meal.

After realizing the true meaning of the New Year's Eve dinner, he decided to eat his own portion himself.

If for no other reason than to respect the disaster caused by the Nian beast.

Lu Yuan sat down and quickly ate his rice and picked up some dishes.

When Jiang Bo and Jiang Xue saw Lu Yuan starting to pick up food, they also joined him.

Dabai next to him also ate faster and no longer made cheerful eating sounds.

Obviously, Dabai also realized how impolite his joy was to the ancients.

"Hey, it's New Year's Day, there's no need to be so serious." Uncle Jiang felt the tension in the scene and felt that he had messed up.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is indeed the last full meal before death, and it may be the last reunion dinner for the whole family.

In the face of a disaster, silence is not a good thing, as if everyone is doomed to fail.

During the Chinese New Year, we should face the Nian monster with a smile.

Scare away the Nian beast with loud laughter, kill it with huge fireworks and firecrackers, let it roll back to the forest and don't disturb humans.

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiang took the initiative to tell jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

Lu Yuan also understood and laughed along.

Since the fireworks started, there has been more laughter in the village.

People are fighting against the disaster of Nian beast in their own ways.

Since the Nian monster is afraid of loud noises, red, and fire.

Everyone laughed together and used fireworks, red firecrackers and other pets to blow up the village.

Two minutes later.

After Lu Yuan finished his meal, he rode Dabai out of the house.

Red lanterns have been lit in every house in the village, and the red candlelight illuminates the entire village in bright red.

People did not leave the house, but talked loudly and laughed in the house.

The firecracker beast had already been hung under the red lantern, moving in the wind and making crackling sounds.

Firecrackermon's classic first skill makes a loud bang.

This skill does not require throwing small firecrackers. Just shake the firecrackers and they will make a sound. It does not consume much physical energy. After setting off one, you can rest for a while and then set off again. Later generations called it the void firecracker.

It functions like a decoy bomb, it only makes sound but has no real killing power. It only makes a noisy sound, proving that there is a firecracker beast setting off firecrackers here.

The second skill is a multi-bang explosion, which consumes real firecrackers and causes fire-attribute explosive damage to the Nian beast.

Consuming one firecracker will double the damage, consuming two firecrackers will double the damage.

As long as the middle-aged beast's body can be blown up, at best it will burst into pieces, at worst half of its body will be blown off.

The side effect is that real firecrackers become less and less as they are used, and they take longer to grow back.

Therefore, the villagers measure how powerful the firecracker beasts are by seeing how long they can explode.

A powerful firecracker beast that can explode in succession, lasting for more than ten minutes.

A Firecracker Beast with a weaker constitution would have lower endurance and might only be able to last about three minutes, or even less.

Lu Yuan heard the crackling sound of firecrackers, but the sound of fireworks was not very loud.

The Firework Tube pet is different from the Firecracker pet. Both skills are consumable skills. They are krypton gold-oriented pets. Every firework ammunition requires real money to make.

In modern times, this amount of consumption is nothing. Firing ten shots in a row only costs a few to dozens of dollars.

But in the poor ancient village, unless you are a rich family, you really can't afford to keep a firework tube pet.

Coincidentally, before Lu Yuan fell asleep, he specially collected a batch of fireworks and ammunition from the Cheng family and brought them into the dream.
