In this short scene, the audience is introduced to young master Lang, the protagonist of the novel, who is riding a donkey. He is a member of the Xiao family, a powerful clan of warriors, and he is also known as the "unconquered slayer." He is also the leader of the "dark demon wolf," a beast that can only be tamed by the use of a special kind of demon called a "mysterious beast." The young master's uncle, the elder of the family's war hall, asks the young master if he would like to ride on his dark demon wolf, but he refuses, saying that he is happy with his donkey. Young master Lang is so impressed by the uncle's donkey that he declares that he will "put you right in his place." The scene ends with the announcement that the "field hunting competition" is about to begin. Each group of five will hunt as many beasts as possible for the next three days, and each group will need to record a certain number of kills in order to be considered for promotion to the ranks of the army.
