I Made Beast-taming Widespread Across The Globe - Chapter 650
650 Sudden Mutated Beast Crisis in Qingquan?! Level 8?! (2)
She couldn’t be angry with a fox, right?
Just like now.
As soon as Lin Ye sent Su Hongcheng and the others off, Little Tanuki jumped out of the house and hung onto Lin Ye’s back.
“Wu wu wu!”
“I want to go out and play too!”
“If you turn back into a fox, I’ll take you out.”
“No!”
“That won’t do!”
Crack ~
Little Tanuki, who was being hugged by Lin Ye, moved her fluffy tail and opened her red mouth, revealing four sharp canine teeth. Then, she bit Lin Ye’s shoulder.
Of course, she did not use much strength.
It was just to express her dissatisfaction.
Hence, Lin Ye let her drool all over her shoulders.
While Lin Ye and Little Tanuki were “wrestling” in the dojo, Hong Zhijie and Liu Gang, who were far away in Clear Spring City, received some unpleasant news.
Ever since Hong Zhijie had relied on his own strength to “convince people with reason” and explained the principle of “the one with might is the one in charge” to the local officers in Qingquan City, they had successfully incorporated the army in Qingquan City.
Although not many people were completely convinced by them.
But at the very least, it appeared so on the outside.
Everyone still pinched their noses and acknowledged Hong Zhijie as the person-in-charge.
Of course, there were also a small number of surrenderers who sincerely changed sides.
However, these people were of average strength and power.
Except for Chen Yun.
He was only in his twenties, but he was already a Level 4 mutant. It could be said that he was one of the few seriously talented officers in Clear Spring City.
Most of the other talented young people were forced to either choose to become mercenaries and start their own businesses or go to other cities.
This was because they didn’t have any connections. Or rather, they weren’t willing to make connections. And this would result in them just being cannon fodder in the army.
Everyone was not stupid.
Back to the main topic.
After taking over the army of Qingquan City, Liu Gang and Hong Zhijie realized that this was simply a gunpowder barrel city that could go wrong at any time.
They had only been here for three days, but they had already dealt with ten internal fights in the army.
And each of them were big ones that caused a huge commotion.
One-on-one fights, or rather, the kind where no one was injured, were not reported at all.
Otherwise, there would be more.
This gave the two of them a headache.
It was mainly because there were many mutated beasts here, and many of them were edible.
Therefore, many people might have been hunters who hunted for a living for two generations before entering the army.
These people were much more violent than ordinary soldiers.
After all, in this day and age, hunting wasn’t about shooting with a bow and arrow. Instead, it was about going up bare-chested to fight those thick-skinned exotic beasts.
It was true that there was something wrong with the upper echelons of the army, but Hong Zhijie had to admit that Qingquan had a much better source of soldiers than Jiangzhou City.
Even ordinary people were stronger.
What surprised the two of them even more was that the trouble was yet to come…
“Report!”
“Enter.”
In Liu Gang’s office, he was discussing with Hong Zhijie how to deal with the previous fights when he saw his trusted aide from Jiangzhou City knock on the office door.
“What is it?”
The trusted aide handed the communicator to Liu Gang and said with a serious expression,
“General, this is the video we just received from the garrison outside Qingquan City. We found a suspected Level 8 beast in the forest in the suburbs.”
“What?!”
When Hong Zhijie heard this, he stood up from his chair.
“Level 8?”
“Are you sure?!”
The subordinate shook his head.
“This… There’s only a video taken from afar from the garrison outside. Moreover, it seems to be a little far away. No one can see it clearly.”
Liu Gang clicked on the video on the communicator and looked at it carefully.
He realized that the video was indeed as blurry as his subordinate had said.
And it was also shaking.
“Look! What’s that over there?”
“This… Why is it so big? Is it a mutated beast?”
“Can you detect the level?”
“It’s too far. I can’t.”
“But with this size, I’m afraid it is definitely at least a Level 6!”
“Quick, go back and report to the captain!”
The content of the video was not long.
A huge brown head flashed above the forest, and at the same time, it scattered the surrounding trees.
The background noise was filled with the conversation between the two soldiers.
According to their experience, the faint figure was a Level 6 beast.
However, after it was delivered to the captain, the captain determined that it was a Level 8 beast and sent it to Liu Gang.
“Where’s the captain? Ask him to come over.”
“Yes!”
A few minutes later, the subordinate called over the captain mentioned by the two soldiers in the video.
“General Liu, you were looking for me?”
“Tell me, why did you say that this is a Level 8 beast?”
Liu Gang pressed the pause button and pointed at the huge figure on the screen. He looked at the captain in confusion.
“Reporting to the General!”
“Because I saw this mutated beast in the forest when I was young. It should be a relatively rare mutated beast, the Demon Rock Giant.”
“It’s in human form and its entire body is made of rocks, making it abnormally hard.”
“It’s usually at the border between the Gobi Desert and the forest.”
“Most importantly, you can determine their levels from their size.”
“When it is first born, it is Level 2 and two meters tall. In the future, with every one level increase, it will grow by one meter.”
“The forest in this video is only seven to eight meters tall.”
“And this Demon Rock Giant is exactly the same height, so…”
Liu Gang and Hong Zhijie looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
This was a Level 8 beast!
Ever since Jiangzhou City was established, there had never been a mutated beast of this level in all these years.
It was mainly because of their geographical advantage.
Jiangzhou City was mostly surrounded by the Gobi Desert.
It was not suitable for many mutated beasts to survive.
For a city like Qingquan which was surrounded by forests, it was the opposite.
In those dense forests, there were simply too many exotic beasts.
“Have you encountered a Level 8 beast before?”
Hearing Hong Zhijie’s words, the captain shook his head.
“Sir, no!”
“In my memory, the highest level in a beast tide is Level 7, and it only happened once.”
“Level 7?”
Hong Zhijie raised his eyebrows.
“Then how did you all block it in the end?”
The captain was silent for a moment. Then he said:
“We sent nearly a hundred teams, and each team brought a crystal core bomb made of a Level 6 crystal core.”
“Then, they charged at the Level 7 beast.”
Upon hearing this, Hong Zhijie and Liu Gang could not help but feel deep veneration.
Regardless of what the higher-ups in Qingquan City were, at least most of the soldiers below were good.
However, Liu Gang and Hong Zhijie felt that the price was too high.
There were more than ten people in a team.
Nearly a hundred teams were close to a regiment’s full strength.
So many people went to launch a suicide attack to kill the Level 7 mutated beast.
One could imagine how critical the situation was at that time.
Now that such a Level 8 beast had appeared, they couldn’t possibly send people to kill it, right?
The problem was that a Level 6 crystal core bomb might not be effective against a Level 8 mutated beast!
After a crystal core is made into a bomb, its power will indeed increase a lot.
However, it is definitely not to an extent where a Level 6 core could be used to deal with a Level 8 beast.
After all, the higher the level, the greater the gap between each level…
“Bring someone over to take a look personally.”
“Remember not to fight head-on. At the same time, pay attention to whether there’s a beast tide.”
Hong Zhijie nodded, then called the captain and began to rush out of Qingquan City.
At this moment, the streets of Qingquan City gradually became lively.
Especially at the city gate, Hong Zhijie saw many people holding all kinds of weapons and leading their friends out of the city.
“They’re—”
“They’re out going out to hunt, and it’s very likely that someone has noticed that demonic rock giant and is preparing to kill it.”
Hong Zhijie was speechless.
