My Cultivation System

Henrick felt something was wrong with the beasts from the beast mountain because they look intelligent.

Not only the baby fire monkey, but even the armoured fire crocodile also looked very intelligent.

'Looks like I need to ask regarding my doubt to the master,' 

Keeping that thought in his mind, Henrick entered the bridge without waiting for Nick and the armoured fire crocodile.

"Will you get off from me? Or stay there until I die from the beast horde?" Nick shouted at the armoured fire crocodile to move away from him.

'Growl'

The armoured fire crocodile nodded its head and moved towards the bridge.

"So you forcefully formed a contract with me just to get out of the beast mountain?" Looking at the excited armoured fire crocodile, Nick bitterly shook his head as asked his tamed beast.

Generally, Nick didn't like beasts for some reason. So, he was not interested in forming contracts with any beasts.

So, when the armoured fire crocodile forcefully formed a contract with him, Nick was angry and wanted to kill it; however, he didn't have enough power to kill it.

Moreover, after suppressing his anger, he recalled the consequences of the death of a tamed beast to the cultivator. So, he unwillingly accepted the armoured fire crocodile as his tamed beast.

'Anyway, I will not bother about it,'

In the end, Nick stood up and entered the bridge to leave the beast mountain.

…..

At the other end of the bridge,

"Senior brother Gregor, all the disciples that entered the beast mountain today have already come out except for those two who talked back to us along with a fool that entered just when the beasts come of their lair,"

Filip, one of the two beast mountain disciples that stood guard at the entrance to the beast mountain asked the other disciple named Gregor.

"Who cares. Our orders are strictly taken the contribution points and check the mission paper from the mission hall. As for the other things, we don't need to care about them,"

The elder among the two guards, Gregor replied to Filip with a nonchalant expression on his face.

The beast mountain didn't bother with the deaths of the outer sect disciples because they were not their disciples.

"I think, they most likely got themselves killed," Filip replied with a cruel laugh.

"Haha...when did you turn so cruel? By the way, it didn't suit you at all," Gregor started laughing at Filip's joke.

Filip always pesters him about the outer sect disciples that enter the beast mountain if they didn't return before the night fell. So, when he heard Filip's words, he could not help but start laughing.

Staying guard for the entrance to the beast mountain from morning to evening was a frustrating job. So, they both make fun of each other to pass the time.

'Tap'

'Tap'

"Senior brother Gregor, someone is coming,"

All of a sudden, they heard some footsteps and Filip hurriedly looked into the bridge.

"Did you think we got killed?"

Henrick could see somewhat shocked looks on Filip's face. So, he asked with a scoff.

"Why do we care about your life and death?" Gregor replied with an expressionless face and silently signalled Filip to keep quiet.

Henrick also didn't bother talking with them as he walked out of the bridge and turned back to look for Nick and the armoured fire crocodile.

'What are they doing?' Henrick didn't find them on the bridge. So, he loudly shouted, "You can romance all you want after going back to your cultivation abode."

'...'

Both the beast mountain disciples were speechless with Henrick's words as they didn't understand what Henrick actually meant.

'Did a female outer sect disciple enter the beast mountain today? No,'

'With whom, his friend must be romancing then?'

Gregor and Filip silently thought in their heads and waited for Henrick's friend to come out.

"Damn you...Henrick. Don't you dare say that again," 

In response to Henrick's words, an angry voice came out from the other end of the bridge along with Nick and a beast behind him.

"This…."

"He tamed the armoured fire crocodile?"

Both Gregor and Filip were shocked to see an armoured fire crocodile behind Nick and shouted out loud.

"Nope. I didn't form a contract with it. It forced me to form a contract with it," Looking at their shocked face, Nick scoffed at them before leaving with Henrick.

Behind them, the armoured crocodile followed leisurely while looking at its sides.

'Growl'

However, before it could completely disappear from the sight of Filip and Gregor, it turned its head back and let out a growl as though it was laughing at them.

...

"Isn't that one of our grandmaster's experimental beasts?"

Looking at the armoured fire crocodile, Filip said to Gregor with a shocked look on his face.

As for how he found out it was one of their grandmaster's experimental beasts was because of the human-like laugh of the armoured fire crocodile.

"Yes. There is even a small number '69' on its huge tail," Gregor was in shock for some time before he replied to Filip and hurriedly said, "Let's inform our masters first and let's see what they will say."

"Yes," Filip nodded his head; however, for some reason, there was still an anxious look on Filip's face as he asked Gregor, "Will our grandmaster be okay with the loss of another successful experimental beast?"

"Let's not talk about it," Gregor shook his head as he curiously said "I wonder who was guarding that armoured fire crocodile. I think it is the end of his career in the beast mountain."

"Yes,"

Filip shook his head at the disciple who would be punished by their grandmaster.

When it comes to rewards or punishments, the beast mountain was very serious.

Even if they slightly contribute to the development of the beast mountain, they would be heavily rewarded and no matter how small a mistake was, they would be expelled from the beast mountain with a seal placed in their dantian.

Although the seal would not kill them, it would give those expelled disciples a lot of pain.

However, if they were to break that seal in their dantian, they would be recruited back into the beast mountain with many privileges for them.

That was the reason why there were only a few disciples in the best mountain.

"Anyway, let's seal the bridge and inform the grandmaster about this thing," Gregor shook his head and put away other thoughts before entering the bridge along with Filip.

After finishing his words, Gregor took out some talisman from his space ring before starting muttering something inaudible to others.

"Senior brother Gregor, if we seal, then that last disciple will become food for the beasts in the mountain," Filip remembered about the last outer sect disciple that entered the beast mountain and anxiously said to Gregor.

However, Gregor didn't stop chanting and continued till a thin barrier appeared at the entrance of a bridge.

"Senior brother Gregor...you,"

Filip was speechless at Gregor's actions as he didn't know what to say anymore.

Even though they act cruelly in front of the outer sect disciples, both of them care about the lives that were lost in their beast mountain.

However, when he saw his senior brother seal the entrance of the beat mountain, Filip was shocked.

"Do you think the outer sect disciple doesn't know about the dangers of the beast mountain? Moreover, we have already waited for an additional hour than usual. So, let's go back into the mountain,"

Gregor turned back into the beast mountain after finishing his words.

....

Inside the beast mountain,

'Puchi'

'Finally, I completed the mission. Now, it's time to hunt him down,'

Somewhere at the below 10 percent region of the beast mountain, a young man covered in blood took a demon sword out of a beast and licked the blood on that demon sword while muttering in a low voice.

He was none other than the Curator, who was disguised as an outer sect disciple.

"I think I should go and wait for my prey at the bridge because he would definitely come there,"

The demon sword in his hand disappeared and without wasting any time, he started rushing towards the bridge.

Even though he was not an original outer sect disciple, he knew that the beast mountain would be closed at night and all the disciples would return to mission hall before the nightfall.

So, he thought to wait there; however, what he didn't know was the bridge had already closed.

"Huh?"

"The bridge is already sealed?" The curator was surprised and all of a sudden, he started laughing, "Haha….finally, I will hunt you at my own pace."

"What a fool, with his cultivation, he thought to stay in the beast mountain at this hour," 

Soon, he stopped laughing as he muttered to himself about his son's killer.

He was able to sense that his son's killer was still in the beast mountain and he wanted to kill him slowly because at this hour he could use his full power without worrying about anyone seeing him.

'Even if the disciples from the beast mountain will not guard at this hour. So, I can freely use my demonic skills,' The Curator was very much excited about it.

"Until the seal at the entrance is removed, I will torture you and then kill you. Just wait, I am coming for you,"

The young man revealed a cruel laugh as he closed his eyes and searched for the exact location of his son's killer.

"Finally, found you," All of a sudden, he opened his eyes and rushed into the beast mountain with an excited look on his face.
