Chapter 454: Chapter 258 Old Green Bull Chapter 454: Chapter 258 Old Green Bull In a very remote highland.

A cowherd boy was riding on an old blue ox, herding a group of cows and sheep.

The cowherd boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old and was an orphan. He survived on the highland by the charity of tribal elders, who allowed him to help herd for a living.

There were many children like him in the tribe.

Over the past few decades, if it wasn’t earthquakes and floods, it was epidemics and famines, not to mention the occasional wars.

The hundreds of tribes in the mountains of the highland were never short of orphans whose direct relatives had all died.

Compared to those who had access to electricity and the information age of modern society, the cowherd and his peers were like primitive people, having never even touched electronic products.

The industrial products they came into contact with most often were probably the guns and even rocket launchers that were much older than they were.

The old green bull slowly stopped and took a bite of the grass on the ground.

Then, the following herd of cows and sheep also stopped and scattered about, searching for food.

Wise with age, this old blue ox seemed calm and quite gentle.

However, from adulthood, the elders in the tribe had discovered its anomaly.

When the old green bull was among them, it always made the other cows and sheep behave.

They hardly ever encountered attacks from wolves or other fierce beasts.

For this reason, the old green bull had managed to live up to now.

The tribes of the highland were certainly not picky eaters when it came to beef and mutton.

And it was not one of those white oxen with a pack that could be packaged and sold to the followers in the south who worshipped the packaged white oxen.

The cowherd boy jumped down from the old green bull’s back and stroked the ox that had accompanied him for several years.

Suddenly, with teary eyes, he stroked the back of the old green bull and said,
“Big Ox! I overheard the conversation between the elders and those foreigners.”

“They want to sell you to those outsiders who came yesterday!”

As he said this, the cowherd boy, unable to let go, wiped away his tears and continued,
“Those foreigners definitely want to eat you, the old man told me before he died that those red-haired ghosts are monsters in human skin!”

“I know you must understand what I’m saying.”

“How about… you run away now, go to the mountains, the farther from us, the better!”

As the cowherd boy spoke, his face showed a look of determination.

At the same time, not far away, in a village built on the mountainside.

A few traffickers from Europa were excitedly finalizing the details of the trade with the managing elders of the tribe.

These worldly traffickers had also dealt with these tribes before, mainly trading some weapons.

Now, keeping up with the new era, they had started to buy animals and poultry that showed anomalies.

These spirited animals, when transported out from these remote places, could make much more profit than the trade of a few weapons.

If among them there was one so obviously endowed with the potential of a Spiritual Beast that even a fool could see it,
they could name their price and make a killing in one fell swoop!

In their line of work, nearly every day there was a tale of someone striking it rich, stirring up more people to envy and join the trade.

As more people got involved, competition naturally heated up.

Thus, in those harsh environments full of risk, the presence of these dedicated merchants began to appear.

It was all part of the butterfly effect that Su Ping had stirred up on the entire Water Blue Star.

On the grassland, seeing the old green bull still leisurely grazing,
The cowherd boy grew anxious.

He feared he would lose this companion forever and involuntarily raised his whip but couldn’t bring himself to strike hard.

“Big Ox, hurry up, why won’t you run!”

“You’re about to be sold off!”

The cowherd boy was so agitated that he became hoarse.

Yet the old green bull just lifted its head and gave the cowherd boy a human-like glance.

The cowherd boy was baffled by this look and lowered his hand.

At this moment, two slightly older boys riding donkeys and carrying rifles appeared not far away.

“Anic!”

One of them called out the cowherd boy’s name,
“Stop herding! The elder wants you to bring the oxen back immediately!”

Anic was taken aback; he hadn’t expected to return to the tribe so quickly.

He had no idea that the only reason he could continue to herd with the old green bull was that the elders were worried about any mishaps, so they intentionally moved the ox while grazing as a precaution.

Once the deal was settled and the deposit was paid, they would bring the old green bull back to those outsiders.

And for security, henchmen had been sent out on donkeys to follow from afar and protect the operation just in case.

Anic opened his mouth but ultimately lacked the courage to defy the decision of the adults.

It was at this moment that the old green bull suddenly became agitated, as if it sensed something, and let out a bellow toward the faint silhouette of the mountains in the north.

Anic, who had never heard such a call before, became worried and quickly tried to calm the ox.

The other two were also concerned,
fearing that any issue with the old green bull would lead to punishment by the elders when they got back.

While the two were discussing what to do,
a red light suddenly appeared in the north.

In the blink of an eye, the red light had arrived in front of them.

It was an illusion of a green bull radiating red light.

It seemed much larger than the old green bull, and its presence was tens of times more formidable.

Its mere emergence caused all other cows and sheep, except for the old green bull, to collapse to the ground, bowing their heads in silence, not daring to make a sound.

The old green bull no longer bellowed but stared fixedly at the demon soul, with not a trace of fear in its eyes.

“Interesting!”

“Aside from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, there are such alien species!”

Su Ping had swiftly followed and arrived. He, still invisible, immediately recognized the extraordinariness of the old green bull.

That’s why he didn’t let the demon soul that had found a host forcibly take possession right away.

Even if this old green bull was born peculiar, more magical than the usual alien species, it was a Spiritual Beast.

If it really wanted to take over, there was no chance of failure for the demon soul.

The gap between them was simply too large to be bridged by special constitution alone.

Even if it were the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, it still had to grow up to count for anything.

Su Ping instantaneously teleported in front of the old green bull.

The old green bull couldn’t see Su Ping, but instinct turned its head towards where Su Ping was standing.

Su Ping connected his Divine Sense to the old green bull.

In an instant, their consciousnesses melded.

Instantly, Su Ping understood what the old green bull couldn’t let go of in its simple heart.

He smiled and looked over at Anic, who dared not breathe too hard, sweeping his gaze across him.

He quickly noticed that this cowherd had a Low Grade Spirit Root.

He thus transmitted a message to the old green bull,
“He has a Spirit Root. I can take him away from this plateau to the outside world for cultivation. His life will be free from worries about food and clothing, and if he’s fortunate, perhaps he could stand on a peak he can’t imagine right now and view extraordinary scenery.”

“If he’s unwilling, he can stay here to become the new tribal leader.”

“This place will also receive investment, getting a chance to change their lives.”

After Su Ping finished speaking, the old green bull’s eyes sparkled, and it lowered its head, responding with a sound.

The next second, the demon soul transformed into a red light and merged into the old green bull’s body.

Before long, red light began to emanate from the body of the old green bull.

And this beam of red light shot straight into the sky, making a large swath of the sky red!

The elders and traders in the village all saw this Anomaly.

Thinking of that old green bull, the traders had a bad hunch.

Soon they heard a well-supported cow’s bellow.

Following that bellow,
People who had run out because of the Anomaly and were standing on the ground, looked up and stretched their necks to see that in the distance, with a swoosh, there appeared a colossal Minotaur, standing a kilometer tall.

This Demon God emitted green light all over its body. When it looked their way, everyone immediately felt as if the air around had become frozen!

It took a while for everyone to catch their breath after the Minotaur withdrew its imposing aura.

Many of the old people took the opportunity to kowtow and pray, begging the Demon God for mercy.

People, unsettled, saw the Minotaur suddenly leap forward and appear above their village.

Then, before they could be astonished and breathless under the colossal shadow of the Demon God’s body,
They saw the Minotaur extend its right hand and let its palm gently touch the ground.

In the center of the palm, larger than a regular house, stood a familiar young boy who seemed uneasy.

“Anic!”

“That’s Anic!”

“What has this Demon God got to do with Anic?”

The people of the tribe widened their eyes, their gazes filled with envy and resentment towards Anic.

Soon, a voice filled with domineering anger echoed in everyone’s minds, shattering some of their hidden thoughts.

“I have been enlightened by a God and given an opportunity, and now I have become a Demon God.”

“Anic is fated with me.”

“Therefore, under my protection, he shall act on my behalf in this place!”

“For your sake, he has given up the chance to accompany me. You all must remember this great kindness!”

Then the Minotaur set down Anic, left a message, and turned into a green light that vanished into the sky.

In Anic’s mind, a remnant of the Demon Soul left behind the Divine Skill of Great Strength Demon Bull Divine Skill that even members of the Human Clan could practice.

At the same time, a golden silk bracelet that emitted a faint Spiritual Energy appeared in his hand, continuously nourishing Anic’s malnourished body.

This was after the old green bull had been helped by Su Ping to absorb the Demon Soul, completing the contract and taking on the Blood Chains to become a Guardian God.

When asked by the old green bull, Anic chose to stay in his hometown.

He also expressed a wish that the tribe could survive without having to fight wars for others.

After Su Ping promised, the old green bull agreed.

Then came the scene before.

Shortly after that spectacle disappeared, the disappointed traders didn’t even want their deposit back and quickly left.

A transport ship with a sci-fi design then appeared above the village.

Soon, several elders from the tribe saw the most prominent local official, who was modestly hurrying out of the aircraft, then respectfully followed a few important figures as they walked over.

Not long after, the elders were somewhat bewildered as they looked at the several large maps on the document, their faces full of disbelief.

Their mountain tribe, which was only remembered when there was a war to fight and people were needed,
Suddenly became a hot commodity – not only were roads and airports to be constructed.

There were also plans for large-scale breeding farms, slaughterhouses, and various companies!

And all the people of their village could go to work, earning as much in a month as they used to in a year just by working nine to five!

The other party also promised that they would absolutely not interfere with the village’s existing order.

And would provide a large amount of living supplies at a low price every month.

So that within the next month… no, within the next week, they would have water and electricity, be connected to communication stations, satellites,
And thus be connected to the entire civilized world!
