Ling Feng Valley Wilderness Training Base, all students received an urgent notice.
"Special circumstances, training ends, all students please return to the training center immediately! Return immediately! Return immediately!"
Zheng Dong had already used his Earth Escape skill and arrived outside the training center building. Seeing the urgent notice, he was not surprised.
This was because after making the decision to notify the school and the training center, Tu Qionglan no longer hid and came directly to him, telling him her decision.
Zheng Dong actually agreed with Tu Qionglan's actions.
He also did not want to see any accidents happen to his classmates.
Seeing Tu Qionglan, who was in a fused state and had a black fox tail, Zheng Dong was a little surprised.
I didn't realize Sister Lan had been following me all along.
It's a good thing Sister Lan isn't from the Spirit God Cult!
"Sister Lan, were there many people from the Spirit God Cult this time?" Zheng Dong asked.
His biggest worry was whether Tu Qionglan and the others could handle this crisis.
Tu Qionglan shook her head.
"Probably quite a few! The Spirit God Cult came prepared this time. Thanks to you, you discovered their plan in time, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
I will apply for a reward for you later. Perhaps once you become a junior beast tamer, you can obtain formal membership in the Special Operations Bureau.
Also, I didn't bring many people this time, so I might not be able to protect you in time. Here is some equipment for self-defense!"
Tu Qionglan took out two black metal bombs, each the size of a fist, and a silver mechanical bracelet that looked like handcuffs.
"These are the latest miniature forbidden bombs developed by the Weapons Bureau. They are very lethal to even general-level spirit beasts. Unfortunately, I don't have many.
However, they should be able to save your life at a critical moment!"
After the Awakened level came the Extraordinary level, Commander level, Lord level, and General level. Beast tamers who could command general-level spirit beasts were at least Master-level beast tamers.
Zheng Dong immediately felt that something was amiss.
As expected, at critical moments, he still had to rely on himself!
He put away the two miniature forbidden bombs. These things might not be able to kill spirit beasts, but they should be able to kill beast tamers who were not in a fused state.
He immediately thought of using the miniature forbidden bombs to trap the disciples of the Spirit God Cult.
"This is a sealing bracelet. It can seal a beast tamer's beast-taming talent and sever their connection with their spirit beasts, preventing them from summoning their spirit beasts. It's considered exclusive equipment for our Special Operations Bureau."
There was such equipment?
Zheng Dong had never seen it before and wondered how it was made.
With sealing handcuffs, it would be more convenient for the Special Operations Bureau to apprehend people.
"Thank you, Sister Lan!" Zheng Dong said.
"Don't be polite with me. Your performance in this training was excellent, and your growth speed exceeded my expectations. You should have spent all the money I gave you last time. I'll give you another 10 million later to upgrade your beast-taming space by 2 levels as soon as possible.
Also, don't be afraid. Just treat it as training. I've already called for reinforcements, and they will arrive soon. No matter how many people the Spirit God Cult sends this time, I'll make sure they never return!" Tu Qionglan said confidently.
Seeing that Zheng Dong's strength had improved considerably, Tu Qionglan felt that she had not misjudged him.
However, the Spirit God Cult's actions this time also made her realize that Zheng Dong's strength was still too weak and he needed to grow faster.
Therefore, she decided to give Zheng Dong another 10 million.
Anyway, this money was just a string of numbers to her, and she didn't care much about it.
On the other side, Principal Liu, Teacher Wang Guixiang, and others also took action, assisting the training students to evacuate quickly along with the security personnel at the training base.
Except for Zheng Dong, all other students were bewildered after receiving the urgent notice.
"Holy crap, what's going on? My mission is only half done?" Ning Wei asked in confusion.
Despite having countless questions, Ning Wei obediently rode his Mechanical King Kong Wolf back to the training center.
Bei Wen also frowned.
Her mission was completed, but her intuition told her this was not a good thing.
She also rode her Three-Colored Elk back.
Most other students had similar reactions, rushing back to the training center from various parts of the training base.
However, most of their spirit beasts were not as good as the Mechanical King Kong Wolf, let alone the Three-Colored Elk, and could not carry them to evacuate quickly.
They still had to rely on the security personnel and the arriving Principal Liu, Teacher Wang Guixiang, and others.
However, none of this could be hidden from the disciples of the Spirit God Cult who were hidden in the training base.
They quickly informed Gao Jian and others, who were preparing upstream, and began to obstruct the school's evacuation.
Not long after, the Mechanical Azure Cloud Beast, flying high in the sky, detected the movements of Gao Jian and others upstream and sent the image of Gao Jian standing on a white bone flood dragon at the crest of the flood to Tu Qionglan.
According to the analysis of the Mechanical Azure Cloud Beast, the flood would reach the Ling Feng Valley Wilderness Training Base in no more than two minutes.
"Damn it, they acted early!
The flood is coming soon, and your classmates are probably in danger. I'll take people to save them first. You hurry and run up the mountain, as high as possible.
Also, I'll leave the Bull Head Flame Beast to protect you. Don't trust anyone. Spirit God Cult disciples are good at disguise, and there might be their people in the school or the training center!" Tu Qionglan cursed.
Immediately, she summoned the Bull Head Flame Beast, a humanoid spirit beast over two meters tall, covered in scorching orange-red flames, with two golden bull horns on its head.
This should be the spirit beast Tu Qionglan fused with when Zheng Dong first saw her.
Without waiting for Zheng Dong's agreement, Tu Qionglan led her people to rush to save the other students.
Time was pressing, and she didn't have time to think too much.
Saving people was the priority.
Zheng Dong curled his lips.
He still had to rely on himself!
He did not return to the training center, nor did he get on the bus parked outside the training center building to leave. Instead, he followed Tu Qionglan's advice and ran towards higher ground.
Since he couldn't tell who the mole was, going to a crowded place was even more dangerous.
As for taking the bus to leave, it was even more likely that they would be wiped out.
With Tu Qionglan's Bull Head Flame Beast by his side, acting alone was the safest option.
He glanced around the surroundings and decided to go to a high mountain northwest of the training center.
The terrain there was relatively high, and the mountain was not too steep, making it safe and easy to climb.
He and Little Purple used the Earth Escape skill all the way to the mountainside.
Before he could even catch his breath, he heard a strange noise behind him.
He saw an uncle riding a Black Rock Giant Python chasing after him.
The uncle's attire resembled that of the kitchen staff responsible for cooking in the training center building.
His Black Rock Giant Python had already reached the Commander level, was over twenty meters long, and its black scales were like pieces of hard black rock, indestructible.
The path it carved as it slithered through had smoothed out a winding trail.
Commander level! A high-level beast tamer?!
Zheng Dong was a little surprised that the cook at the training center was a high-level beast tamer.
This guy was in a hurry.
As soon as Tu Qionglan left, he couldn't help but jump out to attack him.
Did he really think he was easy to bully?
Zheng Dong was not afraid.
He had miniature forbidden bombs, and he wasn't afraid of not being able to trap a high-level beast tamer.
Moreover, he had Tu Qionglan's Bull Head Flame Beast.
The Bull Head Flame Beast had already reached the General level, and it was no problem to deal with a Commander-level Black Rock Giant Python.
Therefore, Zheng Dong stopped and quietly watched what tricks this fake cook would play.
The other party also noticed the Bull Head Flame Beast beside Zheng Dong.
But he showed no fear.
He chased after them mainly to stall Zheng Dong and prevent him from escaping.
When his superior, the gray-robed commander Gao Jian, arrived later, he would naturally seize Zheng Dong's beast-taming talent.
Then, he didn't prepare to attack, but pretended to be honest and said with a smile, "Classmate, it's not safe here. You should hurry back to the training center with me!"
Zheng Dong was amused.
Uncle, you're still pretending? Don't you know you've been exposed?
Zheng Dong did not expose him immediately.
He could pretend too.
So, he smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle. I happen to be lost, so I'll go back with you!"
As Zheng Dong spoke, he and the Bull Head Flame Beast took steps towards the other party.
As the Bull Head Flame Beast got closer and closer to the Black Rock Giant Python, a fine layer of sweat appeared on the fake cook's forehead.
He was very worried that the Bull Head Flame Beast would suddenly attack and smash his Black Rock Giant Python to death.
After all, the growth levels of the two were clearly different.
Moreover, the Black Rock Giant Python's race level was low-tier Monarch, and its growth potential was not as good as the Bull Head Flame Beast's high-tier Monarch race level.
Damn it, lost? Who would believe that!
The fake cook gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but make a move.
"You brat, die for me!"
He immediately used his beast-taming talent, Earth Element Reinforcement, to strengthen the Black Rock Giant Python's attack and defense.
The Black Rock Giant Python's body immediately grew twice its size, and it attacked the Bull Head Flame Beast with Rock Roar Cannon.
Black rocks were spat out from the Black Rock Giant Python's mouth, exploding with a roar, as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was splitting, earth-shattering.
But they were all blocked by the Bull Head Flame Beast's Thorn Flame Armor.
Thorn Flame Armor was like a flame battle armor resembling thorns. When the enemy dealt damage to oneself, the flames would erupt with greater power to counter-attack the enemy.
This meant that the Black Rock Giant Python did not injure the Bull Head Flame Beast, but was instead burned by the scorching flames.
Subsequently, the Bull Head Flame Beast counter-attacked, using Flame Charge to directly send the huge Black Rock Giant Python flying.
Seeing this, the fake cook quickly summoned his other three spirit beasts: Giant Rock Monster, Earth Mantis, and Earth Lizard, all of which had reached the Commander level.
With four against one, and with the reinforcement of the fake cook's beast-taming talent, the Bull Head Flame Beast was put on the defensive.
But Zheng Dong was not idle either.
The fake cook attached great importance to the Bull Head Flame Beast but underestimated Zheng Dong's existence, completely disregarding him.
After all, Zheng Dong was still a novice beast tamer who had just awakened his beast-taming talent.
This gave Zheng Dong an opportunity.
Zheng Dong and Little Purple secretly used the Tripwire skill.
As long as Zheng Dong and Little Purple came into contact with non-living objects, the Tripwire skill could condense a strange bomb inside them.
And condensing strange bombs in the ground was undoubtedly the most convenient and least noticeable way.
One by one, strange bombs were condensed in the ground beneath the fake cook's feet.
Currently, Zheng Dong had not discovered the limit distance for condensing strange bombs, but within a two-hundred-meter radius around him, there was no problem.
It was just that the farther the distance, the greater the consumption. As long as his body could withstand it, theoretically, it could be any distance.
The fake cook uncle, seeing that the Bull Head Flame Beast was suppressed, gradually became arrogant.
"Brat, you're finished! You dared to eat the Primordial Fruit, and that's why your beast-taming talent is destined to be stripped away by us!"
"Oh, it should be you who's finished!" Zheng Dong said with a playful smile.
The fake cook uncle was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"Hahaha, are you scared silly? I'm finished? How could I be finished? This Bull Head Flame Beast is about to..."
Before he could finish, Zheng Dong detonated the strange bombs beneath his feet.
Boom...
Continuous explosions completely tore apart the fake cook uncle's body.
Tragically, he didn't know what had happened until he died.
As the fake cook uncle fell, his spirit beasts, having lost the reinforcement of his beast-taming talent and suffering from the backlash of the contract, also became weak, and were quickly seized by the Bull Head Flame Beast, which killed them one by one.
Seeing the large pit that had been blasted out on the spot.
Zheng Dong was still somewhat dissatisfied.
The Tripwire skill was good, but the strange bombs it condensed were still too weak, with limited damage to spirit beasts.
It was a pity that it was only a high-level skill. It would have been great if it were an ultimate-level skill.
Zheng Dong discovered that after the fake cook uncle fell, he dropped some resources, which were things he kept in his beast-taming space.
Zheng Dong walked forward and counted them. They were almost all earth-element resources, worth about two million.
In addition to this, there were twelve Void Stones.
Void Stones could strengthen the beast-taming space, and practicing with them could quickly upgrade the level of the beast-taming space.
Each Void Stone was worth about 150,000, so these twelve were worth about 1.8 million.
The harvest was quite good.
However, a high-level beast tamer only had a net worth of three to four million, which was a bit poor.
At this moment, the sound of rumbling water could be heard from a distance.
The surging flood roared forward, submerging more than half of the Ling Feng Valley Wilderness Training Base in an instant.
The floodwaters were still rising, gradually spreading to the training center, as if to completely destroy the entire training base.
Many students who had not evacuated in time were swept away by the flood.
Seeing this, Principal Liu, Teacher Wang Guixiang, and the security personnel at the training base all summoned their spirit beasts and desperately rescued people.
But in the next moment, a massive white bone flood dragon stirred up even more ferocious waves, throwing more people into the floodwaters.
"Hahaha, don't bother. None of you will escape!" Gao Jian laughed triumphantly.
