Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 179: Guarding the gate is over, let’s have some fun
"Tingting, I lost."

The golden-winged roc walked towards Xu Tingting and said dejectedly, looking like a defeated rooster.

"It's okay, as long as you're not injured." Xu Tingting touched the Golden Winged Peng's head and said nonchalantly, "Every beastmaster has come out of failure. How can a beastmaster win from the beginning? And this loss is not your fault. It's mainly because I didn't command well."

"There are still many opponents to come, so there is no time to be discouraged. Cheer up, Golden Winged Peng."

Jin Chi Peng had too little combat experience, so it was normal for him to fail. The main reason was that she didn't care enough about Jin Zhipeng, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

Therefore, she will bear greater responsibility for this failure.

If she had trained the Golden Winged Peng well, this situation wouldn't have happened.

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, the Golden-Winged Peng nodded, and his eyes became much tougher.

"Diubeast, diubeast, this little guy failed again." Dark Pegasus said with a headache. He thought that this little bird could perform better, but he didn't expect that it still lost.

"Winning and losing is normal." Upon hearing this, the Giant Crocodile said nonchalantly, "Just don't lose in a life-and-death battle, the rest doesn't matter."

It's just a game, isn't it? There's no honor involved. If you lose, you lose.

Didn’t the beastman grow from this stage?

"You are really open-minded." Hearing this, Dark Pegasusmon rolled his eyes and turned away.

"Where are you going, little pony?" asked the giant crocodile when he saw it.

"Of course I'll find a quiet place to sleep. Out of sight, out of mind. It makes me angry just watching this little guy fight."

Dark Pegasusmon said, and disappeared from the sight of Giant Crocodile with a step.

"Your temper is as bad as ever. It's just that I didn't let you play. Is it necessary to be like this?" The Giant Crocodile shook his head when he saw this, then lay on the ground and continued to watch the Golden-Winged Roc fight.

"Senior Xu Tingting, please give me some advice." After Jin Chi Peng regained his spirits with the encouragement of Xu Tingting, a new contestant arrived.

Upon seeing this, the Golden-Winged Peng immediately stood up from the ground. He must win this time. He cannot lose again.

"I dare not teach you, but let's talk." Xu Tingting smiled and said, "You can release your beast now."

"Okay." The arriving contestant nodded and released his own beast, the "Iron-Tooth Hippopotamus".

The other party is the renowned senior sister Xu Tingting, so we absolutely cannot be careless.

"I think we don't need to fight this game. Congratulations on your victory." Looking at the iron-toothed hippopotamus that appeared, Xu Tingting was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"Why is that? We haven't even fought yet, Senpai."

The contestant, who was concentrating and nervous, was stunned when he heard this.

"My Golden-winged Peng only fights beasts below the King level. If it exceeds this level, he can't win." Xu Tingting looked at the contestants in front of her and said, "So, you can go directly to the next level."

"Is that so?" The contestant who released the Iron-toothed Hippo said happily: "Thank you, Senior Sister Xu Tingting. I will go to the next level now."

No need to fight with Senior Sister Xu Tingting? Although it was a little unexpected, he was very happy.

It’s good that we don’t have to fight. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if we lost and didn’t even get through the first level.

"You're welcome. Go ahead and pass the level." Xu Tingting said with a smile, and the other party rode the big hippopotamus to the next level.

Next, more contestants came to challenge, and all those who exceeded the king level passed directly without having to fight.

If a beastmaster below the lord level cannot win after a battle with the Golden-winged Roc, the contestant will send a second beastmaster to fight for two or three rounds.

Even though the Golden-winged Peng is quite powerful, it will soon be defeated. But the Golden-winged Peng will rest for a while and then fight again. With one battle after another, the Golden-winged Peng's combat experience and eyes gradually become different from before.

It's like a red-hot iron, which removes impurities and becomes purer through repeated beatings.

"As expected of a famous beastmaster, this golden-winged roc has completely transformed into a different bird after the battle."

"Yeah, look at his eyes and the way he fights now. He's much more mature and steady than before."

"Yes, it's completely different from before."

After seeing the changes in Golden-winged Peng, the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but start a discussion.

"Well done, Jinchi Peng. Let's stop here for today and have a good rest. You will have battles to fight tomorrow." Xu Tingting said to the panting Jinchi Peng while looking at the darkening sky.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Winged Peng immediately flew to Xu Tingting's side: "How's it going, Tingting? I did a good job today, didn't I? Wasn't it great?"

"Yes, you have grown a lot after a day of fighting. I believe that after these three days, you will definitely undergo a qualitative change." Xu Tingting said with a smile, touched the Golden Winged Peng's head, and took the Golden Winged Peng towards the tent that had been built nearby.

Two days later, Xu Tingting was yawning out of boredom, but the master of the last level was extremely busy.

After the bell for the end of the game rang from above, the contestants who failed to make it through the last level had to accept the fact that they had failed.

"The competition is over. Please follow us back to Bay City under the guidance of the big-eyed robot."

The fighter planes were broadcasting above the island, and the big-eyed robots that followed the contestants grabbed the contestants and flew towards the fighter planes in the sky.

"In this island trial, sixteen contestants made it through the test. This means that there are more contestants entering the finals than ever before."

"Next, let's move on to the draw and see which city we have chosen as the venue for the finals this time?"

In the live broadcast room, the two anchors saw the fighter jets take off and said to everyone with a smile.

Then the staff brought out a lottery machine filled with small balls. Inside the machine, each ball had the name of a city written on it. There were nearly three hundred cities in total. Now it was time to see the venue of the finals and which city would win.

"dong dong"

"dong dong"

As the machine started up, the small ball inside soon began to spin. After jumping up and down for a while, a ball was spit out steadily from it.

Seeing this, Weiwei reached out and picked up the spitted ball and said, "Let's take a look at the venue for this final. Where did it end up?"

"It's the annual lottery again, how boring."

"Yeah, yeah, can't you just announce it directly? Why do you have to do all this?"

Regarding the old actor's lottery machine, the viewers in the live broadcast room spoke impatiently.

It's the same trick every year. When will they change to a different lottery method? They are almost sick of it.

Weiwei looked at the comments without any sign of recognition. Instead, she smiled, spread her hands and let the camera focus on them, and said:
"Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. The venue for this final will be Wenquan City."

"Let's gather in Hot Springs tomorrow and watch this competition together."

"Dear viewers watching the live broadcast, please take a break, go out for a walk and have some fun to relax your eyes. See you in the finals tomorrow." Xingchen said with a smile, and the live broadcast room slowly went dark.

"Congratulations, Yahua. The final will be held in your city." After looking at the notification sent by the principal on her mobile phone, Xu Tingting said to Ouyang Yahua with a smile.

I heard that there are hot springs everywhere in Wenquan City. There are also famous hot spring boiled eggs and various other hot springs, so those who like to take a bath must not miss it.

Speaking of which, she also wanted to visit the Hot Spring Temple, but she didn't expect to have the opportunity this time.

"Really?" Ouyang Yahua said after jumping off Dark Pegasus's back, "That's great. That's my home turf. How about I take you to some fun places in Hot Spring City?"

Wenquan City is her hometown. She knows it best where is fun, where is not fun, where there is food and where there is drink.

"Sure, this mission is over." Xu Tingting smiled and said, "But before that, I have to call my senior."

"Sure, you talk to her." Ouyang Yahua said with a smile. Xu Tingting's senior schoolmate is going to participate in the finals, so she definitely can't go out and play with them, so this time it's just the two of them going around.

"Yeah." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that, then she called Zhou Jia and told her that they were going to Wenquan City first.

Zhou Jia was very envious when she heard that the two of them were going out to play, but there was nothing she could do because she had to compete. She could only ask the two of them to play slower and wait until she finished her game before playing together.

Xu Tingting naturally agreed after hearing this, so she and Ouyang Yahua rode on the Dark Pegasus and left the hotel for the hot spring city.

Anyway, there are so many attractions in Wenquan City that you can’t visit them all in such a short time.

They will first go to find some less popular attractions to play, and then go to a big place to play after Zhou Jia finishes the game.

Dark Pegasus flapped its wings and flew very fast, disappearing without a trace with a whistling sound.

This left the reporters who were waiting in the hotel empty-handed; they also wanted to ask about the battle on the island.

They didn't expect that the other party didn't give them this opportunity at all and just left.

"Is this Hot Spring City? The temperature is so high, and the water vapor is so heavy." Xu Tingting said in surprise as she looked at the misty city below. The temperature of this hot spring is very similar to that of Lava City, but the environment is too different.

It's completely different.

Not only is there black volcanic ash floating in Lava City all year round, the weather is also very dry. Moreover, when it rains there, everything becomes pitch black and everything is stained, but it doesn't fall down.

It’s different here in Wenquan City, it looks like a paradise on earth. Living in such a place, your skin will surely stay moisturized all year round.

If she had known the situation here would be like this, she would have said nothing about applying for the exam here.

Instead of listening to my brother bragging about how good the treatment at the key university in Lava City is.

"Yes, because there are many hot springs in Wenquan City, so this scene is seen all year round." Ouyang Yahua said with a smile: "We should not stay in the sky, let's go down and take a look. There will be more surprises for you below."

"Yeah." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that, and let the Dark Pegasus flap its wings and fly down.

After arriving at the hot spring city, a very pungent smell of chili came over.

Smelling the pungent chili smell, Xu Tingting couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose and said, "What a choking smell, could it be that you guys have eaten something seriously affected?"

"Yes, congratulations, you guessed it right. We are famous for eating spicy food here." Hearing this, Ouyang Yahua smiled and said, "Because there are many hot springs here, the moisture is much heavier than other places. Therefore, people here like to eat spicy food to eliminate moisture in this way."

"I'll take you to a famous restaurant here later. I guarantee you'll never forget the meal you've had."

"If I went to eat at that famous restaurant with you, I probably wouldn't forget it for the rest of my life." Hearing this, Xu Tingting said, "You should take me to eat some normal dishes, such as hot spring boiled eggs or hot spring vegetables. I can barely accept that kind of food."

"Well, I originally wanted to take you to experience our special dishes, but since you said that, there's nothing I can do." Ouyang Yahua shrugged and said, taking Xu Tingting towards a restaurant not far away.

"Buzz"

"Buzz"

Just as the two of them reached the door of the restaurant, they heard the sound of flapping wings.

Hearing the sound, Xu Tingting curiously poked her head inside and saw a group of one-meter-tall bees that looked like bears, walking around with plates on their heads.

"How is it? Are you scared? Let me tell you, this is one of the most famous features of the hot spring town." Seeing Xu Tingting's surprised expression, Ouyang Yahua said with a smile: "This restaurant is opened by a bumblebee tamer. What they are most famous for is not the food or the environment, but their most distinctive bumblebee dance performance."

"Bumblebee dance performance?" Upon hearing this, Xu Tingting immediately thought of the plump bumblebees flying in the air. She couldn't help but smile and said, "These bumblebees are so cute, just like little bear cubs. What does their dance look like?"

"How should I put it? It's funny and a little bit hilarious. But everyone comes here for the show." Ouyang Yahua smiled and gestured, "And all the dishes here are cold dishes. I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

"Really?" Xu Tingting said in surprise, and pulled Ouyang Yahua into the restaurant.

"Buzz"

"Buzz"

As soon as the two entered the restaurant, bumblebees surrounded them enthusiastically. Seeing the chubby bumblebee handing over the menu, Xu Tingting looked at the other's face.

"Tingting, stop just staring. Bumblebee doesn't like people staring at him like this." Ouyang Yahua pushed Xu Tingting and said.

"Is that so?" After hearing this, Xu Tingting came to her senses and ordered a few dishes on the menu, then handed the menu to Xiong Feng.

The bumblebee took the menu and immediately flapped its wings and flew away with a buzzing sound.

"When will they perform?" Xu Tingting asked Ouyang Yahua as she watched the bumblebee leave.

These bumblebees are so furry and even cuter up close than they appear from the outside.

"Don't worry, it's almost time, it will be quick." Ouyang Yahua smiled and said, "We just need to sit here patiently for a while. It's already two o'clock, and their performance will be at half past two."

"After the show, the restaurant will be closed for a while until the evening."

"Half an hour left? That's really fast." Hearing this, Xu Tingting started waiting.

Soon, bumblebees came over carrying the vegetables.

Looking at the chubby bumblebees, Xu Tingting almost couldn't help but want to touch them when she served the food from their heads.

After finishing the meal slowly, the much-anticipated bumblebee show finally began. Xu Tingting took out her cell phone and prepared to take a video.

As the time came, bumblebees flew in in an orderly manner from behind, and then twisted their buttocks in unison.

"Buzz"

"Buzz"

While twisting their bodies, the bumblebees used their claws to make "blowing kisses", which looked extremely funny.

"Hahaha, this is so fun."

"Blow me another kiss."

"Yeah, one more."

When the guests in the restaurant saw this and shouted, the bumblebees waved their claws and blew a kiss to everyone, then all returned to the back.

"Thank you all for coming to our restaurant today. It's almost time for the bumblebees to rest, so I have to say sorry to everyone." After the bumblebees left one after another, the woman with a red headscarf came out and said to everyone.

"it's okay no problem."

"Anyway, we've finished eating and are ready to go back."

"Yes, yes, let the bumblebees rest for a while." The customers who heard this said with a smile, as if they were already used to this kind of thing.

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone." The woman said with a smile and began to see the guests off.

When Xu Tingting saw the store door closed, she said with some envy:
"It's a rare thing to be able to open a store like this in the city with your own beast and be loved by everyone."

"Many beastmasters don't have time to take care of their beasts after they start working. It's great to have a shop like this where beastmasters and beastmasters work together."

"What's wrong? Do you also want to open such a store after graduation? But considering your beast taming, it may not be realistic to open such a small store." Ouyang Yahua said with a smile.

Let's not talk about how big the giant crocodile is. The size of Groudon alone is enough to make Xu Tingting open a store. The store she wants won't be small.

"I do have this plan, but I don't have the ability to do it." Xu Tingting scratched her head and said after hearing this.

"If you have this plan, you can learn the skills slowly." Ouyang Yahua said with a smile: "This is not a difficult matter, just opening a store, you can open a grocery store or other stores."

"Forget it, I don't have the talent to open a store. If I open a store, I will definitely lose money." Xu Tingting shook her head and said, what about opening a grocery store? No business. She ate all the food in the store before she did a few business trips.

Opening other stores is not very realistic either, as it requires getting up early, and she is the type who cannot get up early.

So she should not think about opening a shop and just do the work within her ability.

"Then there's nothing we can do. It looks like you're not cut out for business." Ouyang Yahua spread his hands and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you somewhere else to play."

"Okay." Xu Tingting nodded and followed Ouyang Yahua.

Soon, they arrived at a steaming park. Looking at the trees full of fruits, Xu Tingting asked in surprise, "Mangoes and jackfruits? Aren't these tropical fruits? How come you have them here too?"

Isn't Wenquan City a northern city? Why are there tropical trees here? And the tropical trees are blooming and bearing fruit here.

"Because there are hot springs. The reason why Hot Spring City is called Hot Spring City is because of the hot springs that can be seen everywhere." Ouyang Yahua explained with a smile: "As long as the hot springs are covered with glass, a natural greenhouse will be formed inside. Even in the cold winter when it snows heavily, the temperature will not change at all."

"We took advantage of this and built glass greenhouses in various places to grow various fruits and vegetables. Therefore, there is no shortage of fruits in our city. No matter what season it is, there are fresh fruits on the market at different times."

"Is that so? That's amazing." Xu Tingting said enviously while looking at the mango tree with fruits hanging on it. The temperature in Lava City is similar to this place, but they don't utilize the local resources. It has to be said that the gap is still very large.

"Isn't it amazing? I'll take you to eat the mangoes we grow here, and you'll find they're even more amazing." Ouyang Yahua said with a smile, and pulled Xu Tingting towards the place where mangoes were being sold not far away.

"Mangoes for sale! Big, fresh mangoes, just picked from the tree. Three yuan each. Ten yuan for three."

"Mangoes are sold cheaply. They are sold cheaply."

The old man was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, with palm-sized mangoes placed in front of him. The sound coming from the loudspeaker made people feel that he was a little too smart.

"Uncle, give us two mangoes for three yuan each." Ouyang Yahua said as he pulled Xu Tingting to the front of the stall.

"You just want two mangoes? Or take a few more. Mangoes are very sweet now. Take a few more. You won't suffer a loss or be cheated." After hearing this, the old man opened his eyes and said to the two people.

"No, no, two will be enough." Ouyang Yahua picked two mangoes, paid by scanning the QR code with his mobile phone, and left with Xu Tingting.

"Do all the people here have such a sense of humor?" Xu Tingting said with a smile while chewing on a mango weighing nearly two kilograms. "Three yuan each and ten yuan for three. I thought such funny jokes only appeared in books. I didn't expect that there are people who offer such prices in real life."

"This is just a trick used by these old men to sell things." Ouyang Yahua said while chewing a mango, "They are not stupid. How could they really sell it like this? They are just trying to bluff."

"Really? Then there are really a lot of people who know how to do business here." Xu Tingting muttered after hearing this. It turned out that he said that on purpose. She thought they were all very smart.

"Of those who have been in business for so long, how many are really stupid?" Ouyang Yahua said with a smile: "How is it? The mangoes here are quite sweet, right? Not worse than those outside, right?"

"Yeah, very sweet." Hearing this, Xu Tingting nodded and replied.

"That's fine. I'll take you to the next place to play." Ouyang Yahua pointed to the place where the laughter came from not far away and said, "That's a large hot spring. There are many people and beasts bathing there, but don't let your Groudon and Titanodon out."

"If these two come out, I guess there's no need for the others to soak at all."

Given the size of Gigantos and Groudon, if they sat there, the water would probably be squeezed dry.

"Don't worry, I won't let them both out. And if you really want to take a hot spring bath, just put Groudon in the water and the water will turn on immediately." Xu Tingting said with a smile. Groudon is her iconic beast. Once she releases Groudon, it's like telling everyone that she is here. She would never do such a stupid thing.

"That's good, let's go over and play together." Ouyang Yahua said.

"Yeah." Xu Tingting nodded, and the two of them ran towards the large hot spring in front.
