After eating the horseradish roast duck, almost everyone made a fool of themselves, but their perception of Ling Feng improved a lot. After all, apart from the true upper class, no one else could have such mysterious spices!
"Mr. Feng, I wonder what you do in the Imperial Capital?" After three rounds of dishes, Xiong Shi asked with a smile.
Ling Feng wiped his mouth and said lightly, "I don't have a main occupation, just run some errands for Lord Demon King, nothing worth mentioning!"
Ling Feng knew very well that the more ambiguous he kept his identity with someone like Xiong Shi, the more they would be apprehensive.
Sure enough, after hearing Ling Feng's words, Xiong Shi's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Ling Feng to have connections with Lord Demon King, it was simply unimaginable.
"Not long ago, Lady Witch led a team to the Valley of Dragon Tomb. I wonder if they have returned safely!" Ling Feng sighed slightly.
Xiong Shi's eyes turned, then he laughed, "Life in the Imperial Capital must be enviable, Mr. Feng. When my daughter goes to the Imperial Capital in the future, I hope Mr. Feng will take care of her!"
Ling Feng said, "No problem, no problem. Moreover, Xiong Yan will be going as an assistant to Mr. Bruce. Mr. Bruce holds a much higher position in the Demon King's mind than I do. As long as the Xiong Family can maintain a good relationship with Mr. Bruce, the future of the Xiong Family is unlimited!"
A gleam of excitement flashed in Xiong Shi's eyes. Expanding the Xiong Family was his lifelong wish, and he didn't expect it to be achieved through his daughter.
"Even so, we won't forget Mr. Feng's kindness!" Xiong Shi said with a smile, "By the way, I wonder what Mr. Feng likes. Although we're in a remote area, there are still plenty of resources around Bear Fortress."
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, "I heard from Xiong Yan that around here..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud boom came from outside, followed by a blaze shooting up to the sky!
Xiong Shi saw this scene and immediately stood up, shouting, "Everyone prepare, prepare for battle!"
The previously drunken crowd instantly sobered up, and they rushed to the outskirts of Bear Fortress.
Ling Feng was a bit dumbfounded, what happened?
Xiong Shi said anxiously, "Mr. Feng, I'm sorry, Bear Fortress has encountered a sudden event, I must take my leave now! I hope you understand!"
Saying that, Xiong Shi and Xiong Tian also left with everyone else.
"Prepare for battle, prepare for battle!" The previously bustling and lively Bear Fortress Square was instantly enveloped in a tense atmosphere.
Ling Feng blinked and looked at Xiong Yan, "What happened?"
Xiong Yan said calmly, "Master, it's nothing, just a beastman siege, we encounter it several times a year."
Beastman siege? Ling Feng was a bit surprised, "Beastman, what kind of beastman?"
Xiong Yan explained, "Master, this is the edge of The Abyss. Except for the Abyss Tribespeople, people of other races have been driven to the edge. Beastmen are one of the exiled races. However, beastmen are very strong, naturally born warriors, and they often come to pillage surrounding towns and castles."
Ling Feng was somewhat amazed and said, "So there really are beastmen. I thought beastmen were the result of your modification experiments!"
Xiong Yan lowered her head, "Actually, I don't really have any talent. The reason I modify ordinary people into beastmen is that I was inspired by them! Beastmen are naturally born warriors, so I thought that modifying their bodies could produce the strongest warriors. But in the past three years, I have never succeeded!"
Ling Feng wasn't concerned about her experiments but was instead intrigued by the beastmen, "Let's go, let's see this beastman siege. I'm quite interested in beastmen!"
"Beastmen are all crude fellows, Master, with your noble status, it's better to let my father and the others handle them!" Xiong Yan said with some disdain in her eyes, clearly having no fondness for the beastmen.
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Beastmen may be crude, but since they can survive in this world, they must have their way of survival. Haven't you always wanted to research the strongest warriors? If you don't see how beastmen fight with your own eyes, how will you know what the strongest warrior looks like?"
"No, Master, I don't want to experiment anymore. I just want to stay by your side!" Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, Xiong Yan's face flashed with panic, and she pleaded as she hugged Ling Feng's arm.
Ling Feng furrowed his brows, "I see, but I want to see the beastmen now!"
"Okay, I'll lead the way immediately for Master!" Xiong Yan said hurriedly.
Ling Feng felt a bit of a headache. It seemed that this mental control still had some flaws, speaking nicely wasn't as effective as issuing stern commands!
"Mr. Feng, why have you come?" Upon reaching the city wall of Bear Fortress, Xiong Shi saw Ling Feng's arrival and couldn't help but ask with some surprise.
Ling Feng smiled, "I've long heard of the beastmen, but have never seen them. Now that I have the chance to see what beastmen look like, it's a good opportunity!"
Xiong Shi laughed heartily, "To Mr. Feng, such a lowly creature as a beastman has become a rarity. Yet beastmen are like weeds; no matter how you try to eradicate them, they always come back, truly troublesome!"
"Are the beastman sieges frequent?" Ling Feng looked at the forest in front of Bear Fortress, feeling a sense of oppression in the darkness.
"There are usually three or four times a year!" Xiong Shi explained, "Beastmen don't produce anything; they generally live by hunting. Once the game around the beastman tribes is almost gone, they come out to plunder resources, like pests."
"Are the beastmen strong?" Ling Feng asked.
Xiong Shi said seriously, "The beastmen's strength varies greatly. They are divided into many tribes, with the strongest being the Lion Tribe, Werewolf Tribe, and Eagle People Tribe. These three tribes have Azure Sky Realm experts at their helm!"
Ling Feng was a bit surprised, then relieved. Without Azure Sky Realm experts, these beastmen would probably have been wiped out long ago!
"Which tribe is attacking this time?" Ling Feng looked again and asked, "Are they hiding in the forest?"
Xiong Shi nodded, "They destroyed our forward outpost, and none of our sentries returned, indicating they are coming fiercely this time. However... no matter how many of them come, they will become souls under our Bear Fortress blades!"
Just then, a roar came from the forest, carrying supreme majesty, and upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Ling Feng's face.
