BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61 - 61: Warning from the Mountain God
“Left holds the green dragon, right leads the yellow tiger!”
Feng Qing’an’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the numerous eagle nests built on the cliffside. Positioned deep within the mountains, the cliffside hosted nests built by various types of fierce eagle-like creatures.
“Identify! ”

This was a gathering place for magical creatures in the mountains. At a glance, Black Mountain could see over a dozen different kinds of magical creatures, some of which met Feng Qing’an’s minimum requirements.
But for the moment, Feng Qing’an could only look. The steep cliff face was enough to crush any idea of stealing the magical creatures’ hatchlings. Black Mountain may be considered a formidable beast now, but it had yet to learn to fly or burrow underground.
Moreover, even if Black Mountain possessed the ability to climb cliffs, there were more than a few among the magical creatures on the cliff who could tear Black Mountain apart.
In fact, when Black Mountain was near the cliff, it had already aroused the aggressive tendencies of some of the creatures. However, all of them had been deterred by the strongest of them all, a golden eagle.
The blessing of the Mountain God!
That was a promise made by the Mountain God in the past. As long as Black Mountain did not take the initiative to offend anyone, no magical creature in the mountains would attack it.
“Sigh!”
Feng Qing’an sighed as he stared at the disheartening cliff. He couldn’t help but entertain some wicked ideas, but he quickly dismissed them.
The Mountain God had kept his word, so Feng Qing’an could not go back on his own. The two sides were not equal in power. The man in the green robe might have the demeanor of a gentleman, but Feng Qing’an couldn’t treat him as a gentleman he could easily deceive.
“We’ll call it a day.”
Feng Qing’an ached to try again, but there were certain things he simply could not ask Black Mountain to do. Although the magical creatures of the mountains respected the Mountain God, if their boundaries were crossed, Feng feared they would disregard everything else.
“How can I get those magical creatures to willingly give me their young? Can I tell them that I can make their offspring bigger and stronger?”
Feng Qing’an, having released the “Sending God Skill”, had to consider more practical issues.
To seize the offspring of the magical creatures in the mountains, he needed to get past the Mountain God first. If he used underhanded methods, he feared the Mountain God would invite him over for tea again.
Even though the last time he was invited, the Mountain God offered him a pot of spiritual tea good for nourishing the soul and displayed an elegant demeanor, Feng Qing’an didn’t believe that the formidable Mountain God only had this gentle side.
“It’s not ideal to go into the mountains like this either!”
Feng Qing’an struggled, rubbing his forehead.
He could only lay down and calm his thoughts, setting the problem aside for the time being. There would be a way once the situation arose, and when he reached the bridge, he could cross it. Feng Qing’an believed there would be an opportunity to obtain a suitable pet beast. In the worst-case scenario, he could slowly raise one just like Black Mountain, although it would take some more time and effort.
As Feng Qing’an lay down, Black Mountain, who was currently running wildly in the mountains to return to its den, suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness.
The sudden tiredness posed a great challenge to Black Mountain, and after struggling for a while, it found itself unable to resist. Gradually, it slowed down and finally fell asleep in a maple forest.
However, the sleeping Black Mountain experienced something it never had before – it had a dream. It was an incredibly realistic dream, but it wasn’t about itself.
Its consciousness was high above the clouds, as if it was flying. However, it couldn’t feel the existence of its own body, as if it only had this unique point of view.
Just when it found this strange, it saw a group of “people” who were uncommonly agile, moving like monkeys, darting through the forest below. This was something familiar to it.
“Those are the warriors of the human race!”
A voice sounded in its ear, revealing this to it.
“People from the Princess Mansion…have arrived…you only have one chance!”
“…the brother of that son-in-law, he’s said to be just ten years old, his name is…”
“Righteousness means nothing to us!”
“Strike quickly, don’t delay!”
The fragmented conversation reached Black Mountain’s ears. Although it didn’t hear everything, Black Mountain understood, and the forest through which these people were passing became increasingly familiar.
They were a group harboring ill intentions towards its master!
Reflecting on this, Black Mountain let out a furious roar and snapped out of its strange state, awakening in the maple forest.
Upon waking, Black Mountain began running wildly through the mountains without hesitation, heading straight for the wolf’s den. It planned to gather the wolf pack and tear apart the group that dared to harbor ill intentions towards its master.
Black Mountain didn’t consider the experience a dream. The raw realism of it was a revelation from the Mountain God, a similar experience to what it had already encountered once before
Hooowl-
At this moment, Black Mountain ran like a hurricane. The speed at which it moved through the forest surpassed any of its previous runs. At this moment, with its sharp teeth exposed and its penumbra of Demon Qi swirling around it like a silk thread, it resembled an evil hound that had stepped out of the underworld.
“Black Mountain! ”
A powerful murderous intent and anger had awoken Feng Qing’an from his sleep. Utilizing a secret technique, his consciousness descended once more,
“What are you doing?”
Roar!
Black Mountain let out an angry roar, causing waves of Demon Qi to sweep through the mountainside. The trees on either side of its path shivered, dropping loose branches and dead leaves in its wake.
“Is someone trying to harm me?”
Feng Qing’an was shocked. Here in this remote, poverty-stricken countryside, he hadn’t offended anyone, so why would anyone want to take action against him? But he soon remembered his elder brother who was in Capital City.
“A struggle for power, huh!”
He had long worried about his brother’s safety in the Capital, fearing that if his brother offended the Emperor or provoked some powerful nobility, their whole family might suffer as a result.
“Not bad. Just a bunch of sneaky individuals. They probably can’t defeat my older brother, so they have resorted to these underhanded methods!”
“Black Mountain, protect your own life at all costs, and without hesitation, ensure they meet their end in the mountains!”
Feng Qing’an took a deep breath and instructed Black Mountain. As for those who harbored ill intentions against him and his family, there was no need to show mercy.
Howl-
Returning to the valley with the hot springs at its fastest speed yet, Black Mountain let out a long howl. Both the evolved wolves with Demon Qi and the regular mountain wolves raised their heads to look at their king. They then followed the wolf king, and over three hundred wolves rushed out of the valley..
