Chapter 51

In this world filled with red, clusters of deep red light orbs floated more than a meter above the ground. These orbs were clearly more dynamic than the red light Bu Ye had seen before; their light not only flickered but also rotated.

One, two, three...

There were a total of eight clusters, forming a large circle, with Bu Ye standing right in the center.

"What are these?"

"Look for yourself." The voice of the red light echoed from all directions, quite impatiently.

It was no wonder; everyone revered the red light, so who would ask so many questions? Only Bu Ye was not only unafraid but also mocked the red light, showing no concern for its mood, which was fitting for his reputation as the -87 anti-role model...

Bu Ye took two steps forward and reached out to touch one of the red light clusters.

"Whoosh!"

He felt his mind penetrate the red light through a single touch, as if he were in another world.

This time, it was a completely black world. However, about a meter away from Bu Ye, a giant sword was floating horizontally.

The sword was 1.5 meters long, 30 centimeters wide, and about one finger thick at its thickest point, with a handle half a meter long. The sword was made entirely of fine steel, silver-white in color, with a fish-scale pattern when examined closely. The handle was wrapped in golden threads, both slip-resistant and aesthetically pleasing.

Just by looking from a distance, the sword seemed to emit a killing aura, undoubtedly a deadly weapon!

Bu Ye couldn't help but think of the thick-backed cleaver of the second-in-command of the Mang Mountain bandits. In comparison, this giant sword was definitely at least one level higher.

Absolutely a fine sword!

However, that was all. Bu Ye felt that this was just a weapon crafted by a skilled artisan, not a treasure with special functions.

Looking to the side, there were other weapons next to the giant sword: a normal three-foot sword, a saber, a battle axe, a crossbow, an iron-spined silver spear, and even many obscure weapons that Bu Ye couldn't name...

All kinds of weapons, each finely crafted and exuding a killing aura.

Bu Ye wasn't entirely uninterested, but he could only choose three out of the eight dark red light clusters. It was clearly not the time to make a decision yet.

However, he still asked, "Can I choose three from each red light cluster, or..."

"I can see why you got the -87." The red light mocked.

Bu Ye smiled lightly, completely unfazed by the red light's sarcasm, and then stepped back.

He moved to the right and came to the second red light cluster, reaching out to touch it.

He entered another black world, and this time, sets of armor were floating in the air.

The armor was not stacked together but worn on human-shaped shadows, allowing one to see their styles, defensive ranges, and materials at a glance.

A few sets of armor caught Bu Ye's eye; they looked excellent and had considerable defensive power. Bu Ye thought to himself that perhaps Qi Yanbin would choose a weapon and armor here to form a complete set. According to his knowledge, Qi Yanbin was quite knowledgeable about these things and particularly liked them. With Qi Yanbin's physique and skills, he would surely be a formidable general on the battlefield after equipping himself.

However, he still hadn't made a decision and stepped back again.

Soon, he entered the third dark red light cluster.

This time, before he could take a closer look, he heard a sound: "Sssang!"

When Bu Ye saw what was in front of him, his heart skipped a beat. Three meters away, he saw a dragon mammoth!

This dragon mammoth had angry eyes, its lips curled back, and sharp fangs exposed. At first glance, it looked no different from the dragon mammoths of the Mang Mountain bandits. However, upon closer inspection, this dragon mammoth was clearly larger and more robust, almost as big as a nearly mature rhinoceros. Moreover, its aura was very imposing, indicating it was a leader among dragon mammoths.

Seeing Bu Ye looking at it, the dragon mammoth snorted and showed no concealment of its hostility towards Bu Ye.

Bu Ye couldn't say he wasn't tempted; just this dragon mammoth alone would easily outshine the one belonging to the leader of the Mang Mountain bandits.

However, there was more than just the dragon mammoth here.

To the right of the dragon mammoth, a normal chestnut horse stood quietly, much smaller and less imposing than the dragon mammoth, but it made Bu Ye feel at ease. Bu Ye thought it might be because he was from Earth and was used to ordinary horses.

Hmm?!

Bu Ye suddenly narrowed his eyes, as he noticed that the chestnut horse's hooves seemed to have a faint glow!

Bu Ye confirmed it again, and indeed, it was true!

This was no ordinary horse!

It was certain that since the chestnut horse appeared alongside the dragon mammoth, it must have some extraordinary qualities.

At that moment, the chestnut horse was also observing him, its large black eyes full of curiosity and purity. It was a horse that understood human emotions and enjoyed interacting with people.

Bu Ye liked interacting with animals, even if they couldn't understand his words. He had raised dogs, rabbits, sparrows, chickens, and ducks as a child, and later, fish and cats. Thinking back, his childhood was indeed full of joy, but such times were gone forever.

Looking at the chestnut horse from a distance, he smiled and walked over.

He didn't even look at the other mounts in this black space, walking straight to the chestnut horse.

Just because its pure eyes made his heart flutter.

"Snort..."

When Bu Ye approached, the chestnut horse immediately snorted and took a step back. However, its curious eyes clearly encouraged Bu Ye to continue and touch it, making Bu Ye laugh and cry at the same time.

So, Bu Ye took another step forward, slowly extending his hand, and finally placed it on the chestnut horse's neck.

The horse's coat was very glossy, and the skin beneath was warm and elastic, even allowing him to feel its strong pulse. He gently stroked it a few times, and soon the chestnut horse calmed down completely. At this point, the chestnut horse even leaned its head over, sniffing Bu Ye.

Not smelly...

The chestnut horse seemed very satisfied with this result, suddenly neighing happily and rubbing its head against Bu Ye's chest.

Playing with the chestnut horse for a while, Bu Ye finally let it go, preparing to leave.

He could only choose three, and he still wanted to see everything before making a decision.

However, as soon as he let go, the chestnut horse immediately came over.

Bu Ye took a step forward, and the chestnut horse followed closely, step by step.

The chestnut horse clearly saw that he was leaving, so its large eyes were filled with reluctance. Perhaps because it didn't like the environment here and wanted to leave quickly, it was even acting pitiful, with watery eyes...

Take me with you, the chestnut horse seemed to be saying.

Oh my!

Bu Ye was truly speechless; he never expected the chestnut horse to be so human-like.

He had a demonic nature, as Nie Ning said, like a sea urchin, but that was mainly towards humans. His attitude towards animals was completely different.

Fine.

Since he could choose three, why not take it?

Bu Ye's nature was like this; he made a quick decision, smiled, and said to the chestnut horse, "Alright, come with me."

"Neigh!"

The chestnut horse neighed happily, looking extremely excited. Then, it extended its large tongue and licked Bu Ye's face.

Oh my!

Bu Ye tried to dodge, but it was too late, and he was licked right on the face. He only managed to block it when the chestnut horse was about to lick him again.

After Bu Ye indulged the chestnut horse, an unexpected scene occurred. The chestnut horse looked at the nearby dragon mammoth, stretched its neck, and curled its lips: "Snort..."

Bu Ye was completely stunned, as the chestnut horse's expression was so human-like. It was clearly making a face at the dragon mammoth, showing off, as if saying: "Look, I'm going out, big dummy!"

What's going on here?

And why does the chestnut horse seem more and more like a mare?

However, it was clearly too late to back out. He could only smile bitterly, pat the chestnut horse's head, and say, "Let's go."

Before the chestnut horse could respond, Bu Ye heard the red light's voice: "Are you sure you want to choose this cloud horse?"

Cloud horse? So this is the chestnut horse's lineage? It sounds quite impressive.

"Sure."

"It's not something I created out of thin air; it was captured like you. Just like you can enter the Jieyuan world, it can too. When you're not using it, you can store it in the Jieyuan. And with your current Jieyuan rules, it won't even feel hunger. Hurry up and choose another reward!" the red light urged.

"No wonder it even has a saddle and stirrups; it turns out you stole it."

However, after saying this, Bu Ye didn't leave immediately but looked further into the dark space.

There were not only dragon mammoths and the cloud horse Bu Ye had just chosen but also at least ten other types of mounts. However, these mounts had strange appearances and didn't make Bu Ye feel close to them.

"Don't look anymore. The ones behind are too strong for you to handle now. And I didn't plan to give them to you this time; they are your future rewards."

Bu Ye cursed silently in his heart, too lazy to look further, and finally left the dark space.

One of the three rewards was chosen, leaving two more. Bu Ye walked to the fourth dark red light cluster.
