Chapter 67 The Sorrow Lingers
Lin Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Then let me try! But the three-colored deer is also a light-type spirit beast. I'm afraid it might be able to see through the purple crystal scorpion's stabilization technique."
"Now you are the only one who has this ability. It would be best if you can succeed. If you fail, it's not your fault." Uncle Ben said.
"That's right. If we go up, they may run away before we even touch the deer hair, so you have to go." Uncle Feng also said.
Lin Changqing thought for a while and said seriously, "Okay then! I'll go to the downwind position and release the scorpion from there. You guys just lie in ambush here and wait for me to make my move. If we fail, it would be good if we can save one."
My father nodded and said, "Go ahead, but be careful. Although it is an auspicious beast, even a rabbit will bite if it is cornered, let alone a beast of the late first stage."
Lin Changqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, father. Just like last time, release the Amethyst Scorpion and leave. I guarantee there will be no danger."
After saying that, Lin Changqing carefully moved towards the downwind side. When he was out of sight of the others, he took out the magic gauze weapon from his storage bag, draped it over himself, and then he disappeared.
They began to move slowly towards the direction of the three-colored deer. Only now did Lin Changqing see clearly that there were three deer in total, two big and one small. They seemed to be a family.
Six purple crystal scorpions were released within the range covered by the magic weapon's veil. The dare not release too many, as the more there were, the easier it would be to be exposed.
Let the Amethyst Scorpions follow your idea, attack one target in pairs, let them move slowly, and try not to be exposed.
After becoming invisible, the six amethyst scorpions crawled out of the range covered by the magic weapon's light sand and slowly approached the three-colored deer. When they got closer and closer, the deer looked around vigilantly, as if it sensed some danger.
Lin Changqing hurriedly told the Amethyst Scorpion not to move. After a long while, the male deer finally relaxed its vigilance, moved its body next to the fawn, and began to lower its head to eat grass again.
Considering that the male deer is more vigilant, the amethyst scorpion is allowed to approach the female deer and fawn first. After they reach the position, the other two amethyst scorpions move towards the male deer.
However, he was eventually discovered by the deer when he was approaching. The deer immediately made a "yo yo" sound, and Lin Changqing knew he was exposed.
With a thought, the Amethyst Scorpion took action immediately. After four shrill screams, the doe and fawn fell to the ground twitching.
The male deer jumped and ran away for a distance, then turned around and looked at the place where the doe and fawn fell. It kept making sad "yo-yo" sounds and wandered around them, refusing to leave.
Lin Changqing put away the magic veil and rushed to the mother deer and the fawn. After a careful examination, he confirmed that they had just fainted and were not dead, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the male deer that was wailing and lingering and refused to leave, Lin Changqing felt very sorry for it.
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he extended his spiritual consciousness to the stag, signaling it to surrender itself and promise not to harm them.
Lin Changqing knew that such a spiritual beast would definitely understand what he meant. It just depended on whether it was willing to surrender to him for the sake of his wife and children.
Seeing that the male deer was a little hesitant, Lin Changqing once again conveyed his intention to ensure their safety and not let them separate.
Seeing that the deer still didn't dare to approach, Lin Changqing had an idea. Chuyi flew down from the sky and landed next to Lin Changqing. The deer was frightened and retreated more than ten meters away.
Lin Changqing ignored it and started to smooth out Chuyi's feathers. After finishing smoothing the feathers, he took out a hundred-year-old red fruit from the storage bag, cut half of it and fed it to Chuyi. He then threw the other half at the stag.
The stag was frightened and retreated more than ten meters. After waiting for a while, he dared to approach the half of the hundred-year-old red fruit only after seeing that there was no danger. He sniffed it lightly and made sure that there was no problem before he dared to eat it.
Lin Changqing communicated with it again and told it that they would often have this kind of red fruit to eat in the future. All they had to do was subdue Lin Changqing, and all the promises he had just made would be effective.
The male deer looked at Lin Changqing and Chuyi, then at the doe and fawn still lying on the ground.
Then it slowly approached Lin Changqing, came in front of Lin Changqing, squatted on the ground with its head lowered against the ground. Lin Changqing reached out and gently stroked its forehead and antlers. The male deer trembled all over but did not resist.
This three-colored deer is so intelligent and beautiful that one cannot bear to hurt it.
Lin Changqing's heart moved, and he recited the spell of the master-servant contract. Then he pierced his finger with the golden light needle, forcing out a drop of blood containing his own spiritual energy and dripped it on the deer's forehead.
He was quickly absorbed into the deer's sea of consciousness. He could immediately sense the deer's presence in his mind, and through the contract, he could also feel the deer's message of submission.
He conveyed his meaning to the male deer through the contract. The male deer nodded very humanely, then stood up and came to the doe and the fawn. The antlers emitted a faint green light, forming a rejuvenation spell that enveloped the doe and the fawn. Soon the doe and the fawn woke up, but still couldn't stand up. The three-color deer family exchanged a "yo yo" for a while, and soon the male deer nodded to Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing understood that the stag had convinced them, and he immediately chanted the spell of the master-servant contract to bind them as well. After using three drops of blood in one day, Lin Changqing's face had become a little pale.
Let the male deer continue to use the rejuvenation technique on the doe and fawn. Lin Changqing fed each of them a Nurturing Pill and placed a Jade Healing Pill in front of each of the doe and fawn.
Lin Changqing didn't know whether they could take the pill, so he put it in front and let them decide for themselves.
Fortunately, after the mother deer smelled it, she called "yo yo" twice to the fawn, and then swallowed the jade healing pill. The fawn also followed its mother and swallowed the pill.
I don’t know if it was the rejuvenation technique or the jade healing pill that worked, but after a while, the doe and fawn were able to stand up, although they were still a little shaky and weak.
Then the six amethyst scorpions were called back. When the doe and the fawn saw the amethyst scorpions, they trembled violently again and squatted on the ground in fear. The male deer also took several steps back in fear.
Lin Changqing quickly comforted them and told them that they would be companions from now on and that the Amethyst Scorpion would only protect them and promised not to attack again, so he told them not to worry. Only then did the three-colored deer calm down.
After taking back the Amethyst Scorpion, he asked Chuyi to fly high into the sky to keep watch.
Lin Changqing then sent a signal to contact his father and others to come over. After waiting for a while, his father and four others came over and saw the three tricolor deer next to Lin Changqing. They didn't know that he was already in trouble.
Seeing someone coming, several tricolor deer hid behind Lin Changqing.
Father, Uncle Feng, Uncle Ben and the others were all delighted, especially Second Uncle, who liked them so much that he wanted to touch them, but was stopped by Lin Changqing. This family had just been tamed, so it was better not to scare them.
Lin Changqing recounted everything that had happened, emphasizing in particular that the male deer lingered and he couldn't bear it, so he promised them that as long as they surrendered, he would protect them and would not separate them, so the male deer came back on its own.
This puts Uncle Ben and Uncle Feng in a bit of a dilemma.
It was my father who stepped forward and said, "How about this? We sell these three three-color deer for 36000 spirit stones, and divide them equally among the five of us, which means each person gets 7200 spirit stones. What do you think, Lao Ben, Lao Feng?"
After listening to this, Uncle Ben shook his head and said, "Let's call it 30000 spirit stones. It's not fair to split it equally. How about this, Qing'er takes half, and the rest will be divided equally among the four of us!"
Uncle Feng also said: "Brother Twenty is right, this spiritual stone is like picking it up for free, we can also do something, I think it's okay, let's do it this way!"
Second Uncle also said, "Then let's calculate it based on 36000 spirit stones. Qing'er will take half, and the rest will be divided equally among the four of us."
My father made the decision and said, "Okay, let's do as my second brother said. Don't refuse. Let's do this!"
"My two uncles, thank you for giving the Three-Colored Deer to me. That's it, stop pushing it around!" Lin Changqing said sincerely.
Seeing that the three members of the family all said the same thing, the two nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they had settled down, my father asked, "Then it comes out to be 4500 spirit stones per person. Do you want spirit stones, family contribution points, or contribution points?"
After Uncle Ben and Uncle Feng discussed it, they decided to contribute points after all. It seemed that they both had their eyes on the good things on the Qingyun Sect's exchange list.
The father transferred 900 contribution points to each of them.
Then he said seriously, "Laoben, Laofeng, I want to ask you two to do me a favor. For the time being, don't tell anyone about our acquisition of the three-colored deer. At least don't let anyone know before we return to Jiufeng Mountain."
Uncle Ben and Uncle Feng smiled at each other, then said to their father, "Brother Fifteen, we have been working together for so long, you should know that neither of us is a talkative person, don't worry! We won't let others know about the three-colored deer."
Lin Changqing quickly thanked his two uncles for their help and cooperation.
In fact, Lin Changqing already had an idea of how to settle the family of three-colored deer. But now there are so many people and eyes, so he can only let them stay in the spirit beast bag for the time being, and move them to the space when he finds an opportunity.
