Chapter 151 Beasts
Bai Ke looked at the Tai Chi pattern in his palm. The so-called Tai Chi means the origin from which all things are derived. Tai Chi gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams give rise to all phenomena. It is exactly the same as the four elements of creation.
This deck of cards uses the four elements as the card eyes, which merge into Tai Chi. Since they are all based on the principles of creation, could there be some connection between them?
Upon discovering some hidden connections, Bai Ke felt inexplicably delighted. He closed his palms, and the Bagua diagram, which contained a faint ink-colored light, disappeared.
After Bai Ke finished visiting the Cliff of Discipline, he headed to the Spirit Beast Garden, remembering his cheap old man's words that he might be able to bring back a spirit beast to play with.
The Spirit Beast Garden, Elder Xu Mu's Spirit Beast Garden is one in a million, and it contains many exquisite beasts.
Although Xu Mu was a bit indecisive, since he had chosen to come to my home, he had to be sincere and see if there were any rare spirit beasts. It would be best if he could bring one back.
The layout of the spirit beast garden was quite unique. Bai Ke looked at the towering "wooden circle" in front of him, which was of course a semi-circular wooden archway. Two kinds of plants were wrapped around the wooden archway, winding around the left and right sides to the center, but there were no flowers on it, only green leaves.
A plaque hung in the middle of the archway, bearing the words "Spirit Beast Garden." However, its layout was identical to that of a plant. Bai Ke couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Upon entering the spirit beast garden, Bai Ke was surprised to find no animals in sight. This left him feeling somewhat frustrated, as the garden was filled with plants instead of spirit beasts.
The Spirit Beast Garden looks small at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll discover that it actually holds many secrets.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few paths that are accidentally revealed through the gaps between the plants. These paths are eternally intertwined, and there are also many rare and exotic animals along the way, which makes it quite interesting.
Among them were shrub-like plants and small weeds, but Bai Ke knew perfectly well that they could not possibly be weeds.
The entrance to this spirit beast garden is full of plants. What kind of spirit beasts are raised here? Probably wood-type, they like plants and sunlight, and some of them are probably sleepy. But there are also some hunter-type spirit beasts that like to hide among the grass and trees to find their prey.
The entrance was full of plants. Bai Ke was on high alert. If he were the protagonist, he would definitely have a strange encounter here. But he, the villain, would create one even if he didn't have one.
There are three possible intersections. The first intersection is where tall trees and shrubs meet directly ahead. The second is a dense jungle, and the third is a series of increasingly low shrubs and grasses.
Considering that jungles inevitably have rivers, and shrubs and grasses are roughly equivalent to grasslands, the boundary between them is often a symbiotic area. There are undoubtedly more hidden beasts in the jungle, while there are more small and delicate spirit beasts in the grasslands. However, the lush jungle is more dangerous but also means more opportunities. After thinking it over, Bai Ke decided to enter the second intersection.
Everywhere he looked was lush grass, and a gentle breeze brushed against Bai Ke's cheeks. The air was filled with the scent of nature, and for a moment Bai Ke felt a little dazed, with a sudden sense of ease in his heart.
After walking through the jungle for a while, Bai Ke smelled a slight bloody scent in the air. Why was there a bloody smell? This was the Spirit Beast Garden, not a wild jungle. Could there be fighting here too? Bai Ke thought to himself as he carefully sniffed the bloody scent and slowly crept forward. In his eyes, he saw a female beast.
A tiger? No, that's clearly a monster. It has the head of a tiger, the body of a lion, and the tail of a leopard, combining the three ferocious beasts from the previous world. In ancient texts, these beasts are called "running beasts," symbolizing power and strength.
In ancient China, where Bai Ke lived, this was often used as a military tally! I never expected to see such a strange beast during my visit to the Spirit Beast Garden.
At this moment, the beast was licking its lower body, and a small head was clearly emerging from its lower body.
It seems I've caught the beast giving birth, and since it's the only beast in this area, where is its mate? Why can't I see its mate? Perhaps it's out hunting for food for the mother? But I've also happened to be giving birth, so I must lend a hand.
Bai Ke peeked out from behind the tree, and the female beast immediately locked her eyes on him with a wary look. Bai Ke quickly waved his hand and said, "I am Bai Ke. I bumped into you by accident."
The beast adopted a defensive posture, but the pain of childbirth prevented it from concentrating too much.
"Don't be afraid. I was invited by Elder Xu Mu. I didn't see him when I came, but I found you giving birth. Perhaps I can help you." Bai Ke slowly approached the beast step by step.
The beast let out a low growl, perhaps sensing that Bai Ke meant no harm, and allowed Bai Ke to approach it.
The fetus of this beast has already shown half its head, which can actually be considered a natural birth. If it had its own mate by its side, it probably wouldn't be struggling as much as it is now.
Bai Ke placed his palm on the beast's abdomen, and a warm current flowed into the beast's body through his palm. Bai Ke used his spiritual power to help the beast successfully give birth to its fetus.
The beast's fur looked stiff, but it actually felt quite soft to the touch, giving it a perfect feel, Bai Ke thought to himself.
About fifteen minutes later, the little beast was greeted by the first ray of light in the world.
The baby beast was born viviparously, its body wrapped in a layer of amniotic sac. The mother beast licked the amniotic sac off the baby beast little by little, as the baby beast's legs were not yet stable due to its newborn status.
This beast looks no different from ordinary animals. There must be something special about it that it appeared in the Spirit Beast Garden.
Bai Ke thought for a moment. The beast should be exhausted after giving birth, but its mate has not returned. Could it be that something has happened?
"Why are you all alone? No, just one beast. Where is your mate?" Bai Ke asked. Since he was in the Spirit Beast Garden, the beast must understand human speech.
Upon hearing this, the beast let out a low growl, turned its head to the back, and gestured to Bai Ke that its companion was behind it.
"Is your partner looking for spiritual objects to nourish you and the little beast?" Bai Ke asked.
The beast nodded and affectionately nuzzled the little beast with its nose.
Presumably, childbirth takes a toll on the body, and this little beast also needs to replenish its strength after it is born.
Bai Ke nodded. "What a rare and loving man."
The beast responded to Bai Ke with a low growl.
Just then, a loud roar echoed through the forest. Unlike the mother beast's low growl, this roar was clearly filled with more anger. Could it be that the mother beast's mate had returned and thought I was harming his wife and children? How interesting.
