Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 182 Arriving at the Destination

"The steel legs have turned into propellers? This design is very interesting." Xu Tingting muttered as she looked at the flying steel caterpillar. It was a very novel design that she had never seen before. She also wondered where the design inspiration for this steel caterpillar came from?

However, this steel caterpillar looks really cute when it flies. I wonder what other novel designs the Development Bureau has?

"Isn't it just a pile of rotten copper and scrap iron? I can crush them with one kick." Dark Pegasusmon, who was flapping his wings and flying, said when he heard this.

This steel caterpillar has no thoughts of its own and is just a tool. He can kick it into pieces with just a few kicks. He doesn't see the point in that.

"You can't say that, DarkPegasusmon."

"The purpose of developing mechanical beast tamers is to create large quantities of combat power. After all, it takes too much time and energy to upgrade beast tamers." Xu Tingting explained with a smile.

The time and energy required to train a high-level beast is extremely large.

Moreover, even if you put in a lot of effort and time, you can only train one or a few. But it is different for mechanical beasts. As long as you have the technology and materials, you can produce them in batches.

This is consumable combat power for a country.

"Then these guys can only be called machines, not mechanical beastmasters." Dark Pegasusmon muttered after hearing this. Mechanical things like these can only be called machines. Why should the word "beastmaster" be added for no reason?

"You have to ask the people who invented them. It's no use talking to me." Xu Tingting said, looking at the mechanical caterpillar that surpassed them: "Okay, Dark Pegasus, Beast, let's not worry about this matter. Let's set off quickly. Look, while we were chatting, it has surpassed us."

"It can't surpass us, Tingting." Dark Pegasus said, flapping its wings and easily surpassing the Iron Caterpillar.

The insects on the ground also want to fly with him, but compared with the horses in the sky, it is simply a pipe dream.

A bug is a bug, even if it has mechanical wings.

"Ajian, this caterpillar is flying so slowly. When can it fly faster?" asked the Fire Lizard King, who had to wait for a while after flapping his wings to fly a certain distance.

As a fire-type beast with a bad temper, the thing he hates most is waiting.

If you do something, either don't do it at all, or if you do it, you should finish it quickly.

This procrastination is really uncomfortable for the beast.

"Be patient, Flame Lizard King." Xu Jian consoled him, "The Iron Caterpillar can't fly fast, so we just need to fly slowly."

The speed of the Iron Caterpillar is indeed a bit confusing, but there is nothing that can be done about it.

As a protection group, they have to take care of the guests. Unless they have better means of transportation for them, otherwise, they'd better just wait patiently.

"But it's flying too slowly, which really makes me angry." The Fire Lizard King complained and simply changed to gliding forward.

In this way, the Iron Caterpillar was finally able to catch up.

"quack"

"quack"

Unlike the irritable Fire Lizard King, the Big White Duck flew slowly and looked quite happy.

He even opened his throat and started singing.

I just don't know what song he is singing?

Time passed from day to evening, and the group of people, who had been rushing for half a day, still could not reach Tianshuangyuan, so they could only travel under the cover of night.

"huhu"

"huhu"

Under the illumination of the huge full moon, snoring sounds could be heard from inside the steel caterpillar. The people from the Development Bureau who were in charge of the survey were now sleeping soundly and didn't have to worry about the situation outside.

As the latest technological product, the Iron Caterpillar can follow the Fire Lizard King like a living creature.

And after being attacked, it will automatically launch attacks and defenses according to the program.

Yuan Jinghong and He Ping, who were on the Iron Caterpillar, were sleeping soundly at this time.

"They sleep so soundly. It turns out that the advantages of mechanical beastmasters are very obvious." Xu Tingting glanced at the steel caterpillar and said. Although it is possible to sleep on the beastmaster, it is still impossible to sleep as comfortably as Yuan Jinghong and the others.

"That's normal. This is a beast that will be used by civilians in the future. Of course, we have to consider both safety and comfort." Cheng Kemei yawned and hugged Xu Tingting with his arms to prevent her from falling off after dozing off.

"That's true." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that. After glancing around, she continued to move forward.

As the night deepened, the wind gradually became colder.

The nights were very cold in December, and from time to time in the forest below, night crows were calling as they were molting.

The green ground gradually turned into a pale white earth. Seeing this scene, Xu Tingting realized that they had arrived in the north.

Winter comes earlier in the north than in the south, and the country is surrounded by ice and snow for most of the year.

This reminded her of last year's time in Winterfell.

"Little sister, we have arrived in the north. Do you want to ride on my Fire Lizard King? The back of the Fire Lizard King is very hot." After Xu Jian let the Fire Lizard King get close to the Dark Pegasus Beast, he asked Xu Tingting.

The temperature has dropped to several degrees below zero. Can I still wear a autumn coat? I'd better get on his beast's back.

"Brother, have you forgotten that I contracted Groudon so it's not afraid of the cold? But Sister Mei is quite cold now, I think you should take her over." Xu Tingting said, prying open the hands of Cheng Kemei who was hugging her tightly, and let Dark Pegasus fly to the back of the more than 30-meter-long Flame Lizard King, and put Cheng Kemei down: "Brother, cover Sister Mei with a blanket, she looks quite cold."

"What about you? Don't you plan to take a break? We've only walked halfway." Xu Jian took out a quilt from his savings bracelet and asked Xu Tingting.

"No, I can go a week without sleep."

"Brother, if you want to take a rest, just take a rest. I'll help you watch over it." Xu Tingting said after hearing this. She is now a high-level beastmaster, and her mental and physical strength are not what intermediate beastmasters like her brother can do.

It's no big deal for her to stay up for several days and nights, so brothers don't need to worry about her getting tired. They should worry more about themselves.

"Okay then." Xu Jian nodded when he heard that. He had been busy for a few days and was indeed a little tired.

I don't know what will happen on the next journey. It would be best if I could take a break.

"Yeah." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that, and Xu Jian lay down and went to sleep.

The next day, Xu Jian woke up slowly and found that the position of the sun in the sky was a little strange. After asking carefully, he found out that he had slept until the afternoon.

"We are still 200 kilometers away from Tianshuangyuan, brother." Xu Tingting took out her phone, checked the location and said, "If nothing goes wrong, we will be there in two hours."

"Really? That's great." Xu Jian yawned and looked over at the Iron Caterpillar. He found Yuan Jinghong and He Ping inside the Iron Caterpillar. The two guys were playing with their phones leisurely, looking as relaxed as they could be.

"These two guys are so comfortable here. It seems like I'll have to find something for them to do after we reach our destination." Xu Jian rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

"Hey! Why do I suddenly feel a little cold? What's going on?"

He Ping and Yuan Jinghong, who were lying in the warm cabin, suddenly shuddered at the same time, wondering what was going on.

The cabin of the Iron Caterpillar is heated, so why did I suddenly feel cold? Could it be that I sat in it for too long without moving my body?

But after looking at the ice and snow outside, I decided to just stay a little cold. It was better than going out and suffering.

The steel caterpillar continued to fly slowly, and the endless snow-covered plateau in the distance gradually appeared in their eyes. They looked at the towering mountains and the endless ice and snow.

Xu Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After flying for so long, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Everyone, prepare to land, otherwise we will be too conspicuous in the sky and easily discovered by the beasts in Tianshuangyuan." Xu Jian shouted, and the Iron Caterpillar and Dark Pegasus slowly descended from the sky.

When they came to the ice-covered ground, they found the snow here a little scary. Every time they stepped down, half of their bodies were stuck in it.

"Isn't it the coldest time yet? Why is the snow so heavy here?" Yuan Jinghong asked after struggling to get out of the snow, looking at the big hole he left behind.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have jumped out first. Otherwise, half of my body wouldn’t be stuck in the snow like a big carrot.

"I don't know, but I don't need to know." Xu Jian sat on the back of the Flame Lizard King and tied his snowshoes. He jumped to the ground and said, "If you don't want to get stuck like a carrot again, you'd better put on your snowshoes quickly."

"Otherwise, more than half of your body will go in later."

This is only the outermost part of Tianshuangyuan, and the snow is so deep. If you go inside? I guess if you step in, you will fall into it, right?

"Got it, got it." Yuan Jinghong asked Director Deng while tying his snowshoes, "Director Deng, has your development bureau not developed a mechanical beast that can walk in the snow? Otherwise, at our current speed, it will probably take a long time to reach your destination."

He looked at the place they were going to this time. It was so far away. Given their current situation, he wondered how long it would take them to get there.
"Of course there are." Director Deng said with a smile upon hearing this, and the members of the survey team released trilobites made of steel one by one.

"Is this a trilobite?" Cheng Kemei asked as he looked at the mechanical beast that appeared before him.

"Yes, it is a trilobite." Director Deng said with a smile: "The trilobite has a wide body, which is a natural snowshoe. It will not sink in such deep snow. It is very suitable for moving in this snowy environment."

"You can sit on it and feel it for yourself. I guarantee it will be much faster than walking."

"Really? That's great." Yuan Jinghong said happily and jumped onto the mechanical trilobite impatiently.

Having such a good tool but not sitting on it, instead walking around when you have nothing better to do, isn't this crazy?

"It is indeed a product of high technology. There is no sinking at all when sitting on it." He Ping said after moving on the back of the trilobite. The back of the trilobite is made of soft rubber. After sitting on it, the buttocks are not frozen. Instead, it is very soft and comfortable.

No wonder the Development Bureau came to Tianshuangyuan to investigate, they were indeed prepared.

"Of course." Director Deng said with a smile, "Each mechanical trilobite is designed to bear a load of two tons. Everyone, please sit on the back of the trilobite. Each trilobite can accommodate five people."

"Of course, if there are more than five people, it will seem a bit crowded."

"Yes." Cheng Kemei and Xu Tingting nodded and got on the mechanical trilobite.

"Everyone, please spray this. It can cover up the smell on our bodies. This way, we won't be easily discovered by the beasts in Tianshuangyuan."

After seeing that everyone was on the mechanical trilobite, Xu Jian did not rush to get on. Instead, he took out bottles of spray and distributed them to everyone.

Tianshuangyuan was full of ice and snow. If they didn't spray some smell-covering spray, their traces would be too obvious.

It is easy to be targeted by carnivorous beasts.

"Okay, Xiao Xu." Director Deng took the spray and said with a smile: "Everyone, spray the spray on your body. The place we are going to go deep into this time is very dangerous. It is always better to be careful."

"Yes, Director." After hearing this, the team members took the spray and sprayed each other.

After doing all this, Xu Jian got on the mechanical trilobite and headed towards the interior of Tianshuangyuan.

The snow-covered Tianshuangyuan was silent, and all sounds were covered by the snow. Walking on the snow, people could only hear the rustling sound of the mechanical trilobite rubbing against the snow.

"Such a wide road must have been walked out by a large beast. Is it really okay for us to walk here openly like this?" Xu Tingting said after looking around.

At first glance the road ahead was smooth, without a single tree in sight; it looked like a jungle highway.

If it were outside, this would definitely be very common.

But if it appears in Tianshuangyuan, then there will be big problems.

Only beasts of enormous size can walk on such a wide road.

In other words, they are now walking on the animal trail, which is not good news. It would be bad if they ran into the pioneers on this road.

Tianshuangyuan is one of the four forbidden areas in the world. You never know what kind of beast you will encounter in the next second.
It must be at the king level, or maybe even at the legendary level.

In a place like this, encountering a legendary beastmaster is as easy as running into an acquaintance when going home to buy groceries.

"Nothing is wrong for now." Xu Jian said, "Little sister, take a look at the snow on the ground. You will know that the beast has not moved for a long time, otherwise the snow here would not be as smooth as the surrounding snow."

"Yes, and at the moment we have no other choice but to take this path."

"The road will only become more difficult to walk in a forest full of trees," Cheng Kemei followed up with.

If they had no other choice, they would not want to take such a great risk and walk the path opened up by the Beast Tamer.

But the forest was too dense, and they could only walk a few miles in a day, which would greatly slow down their speed.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, Director Deng and his team would not agree, right? Moreover, this road was chosen by the other party. Their protection team is only responsible for protection, and anything beyond protection is not their responsibility.

"Yes, Miss Tingting, they are right." Director Deng approached in the mechanical trilobite and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much. We have installed a large energy monitor. Once a powerful beast approaches within five kilometers of us, an alarm will be sounded. As long as we avoid them in advance, we will be fine."

"But this can't be 100% safe, right?" Xu Tingting said. Although the five-kilometer warning is good, for a powerful beastmaster, five kilometers is no different from one step.

"Yes, that's why we need protection." Director Deng said with a smile.

If the early warning alone is enough? Then why did they ask the other party to protect them? Can they come to Tianshuangyuan just by early warning?
"What you said makes sense." Xu Tingting said weakly after hearing this.

What the other party said made so much sense that he was speechless.

"Don't worry, Miss Tingting. There's no chance of encountering any beast beasts in this heavy snow. Besides, you'll encounter beast beasts even if you walk in the forest, right?"

"If that's the case, why not pick a road that's easy to walk on? At least it's convenient for running." Director Deng said with a smile. Where are the safe roads in Tianshuangyuan? Some are just relatively safe roads.

It doesn’t mean that you won’t encounter beasts when walking in the forest.

"Yes, Director Deng is right." Xu Jian smiled and said, "Don't doubt Director Deng's experience, little sister. He often goes out for surveys and is much more experienced than us in this regard."

"Is that so? That's because I have too many doubts." Xu Tingting said after listening.

She stopped talking. She was too wary. The other party had been working in mining for many years, so he must have rich experience.

"Okay, let's keep going and stop discussing this matter." Director Deng said with a smile, and the team set off again.

"rustle"

"rustle"

The mechanical trilobite moved on the white snow, and soon it took them away.

After they left, there was movement in the silent forest. A pack of snow-white wolves ran out from the dense forest with a rustling sound.

"The boss just caught prey and left our territory." A white wolf with a crooked mouth sniffed the ground, sneezed, and then said while looking at the traces on the snow.

What kind of prey is this? The smell on its body is so pungent that it makes him sneeze.

"I'm not blind, I can see it." The leading wolf sniffed the gullies on the snow and said, "Why do humans come to our territory for no reason? What do these guys want to do?"

"Boss, are these traces on the ground left by humans? It doesn't look like it. Don't they have two legs? How can they walk like this?" The crooked-mouthed white wolf asked after hearing this. Don't humans have two legs and leave one footprint with each step?
But there are no visible traces left on the ground.

It seemed like some insect-like creature passed through their territory.

"Waizui, you idiot, you've been following me for so long, can't you be smarter?" Hearing this, the giant wolf pointed at the ground with its claws and said, "Look at the traces on the ground and you will understand that these are not left by living creatures, but by humans who made steel creatures."

"Only they would leave behind such disgusting liquid."

The giant wolf said this and picked up the black sticky oil on his paw.

"So that's how it is." Crooked Mouth White Wolf suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Then what should we do next, Boss? Should we chase after these guys?"

"Of course. If we don't chase them, what will we eat?" The giant wolf looked at the traces on the ground and said, "Humans are much easier to deal with than other animals. And as long as one person is scared, the others will be scared and dare not move."

"As long as we defeat them, we can eat whatever we want, right?"

"Boss, you are so smart." When the crooked-mouthed white wolf heard this, he couldn't help but say admiringly.

"Alright, guys, cheer up." The giant wolf looked at the ground and said, "Once we catch humans, we won't have to starve anymore."

“Ah~Ah”

Hearing this, the wolves couldn't help but roar excitedly.

Then he followed the leader of the wolves and ran in the direction Xu Tingting and the others left.

"Wow~wow"

"Wow~wow"

In the forest covered with ice and snow, night crows with scarlet eyes and white bodies came out. They flapped their wings and flew in the forest, knocking down a lot of white snow.

Riding on the cold wind, Xu Tingting and others continued to move forward along the huge first trail, and soon noisy sounds appeared on both sides of the trail.

"Oh no, a beast has discovered us and is following us now."

"Yes, Captain Xu, it's your turn to take action."

When the survey team member sitting on the mechanical trilobite discovered this, his face changed instantly and he shouted at Xu Jian.

"Don't panic, this is just a small problem."

Xu Jian looked at both sides and spoke, with a large ball like a football in his hand, and threw it towards the forest: "Everyone hold your breath, I will give these guys some gifts for fun."

"Zizi"

"Zizi"

As he finished speaking, the ball bounced on the spot and black smoke sprayed out from the gap between them.

After a while, a pungent and unpleasant smell spread around, and black smoke blocked their vision.

“Ah~Ah”

The beast masters that were chasing after them smelled the pungent odor and couldn't help but let out shrill screams and painful wails.

As beast masters, their noses are much more sensitive than humans', and when they suddenly encounter this kind of attack, they immediately lose their combat effectiveness.

"Xiao Xu did a good job. They couldn't catch up." Director Deng said with a smile as he listened to the screams coming from behind. At present, although their team is relatively young, they are still very reliable in doing things.

"Well, but we can't be complacent. This group of beastmasters that appeared is just the first batch. There will definitely be more guys catching up with us." Xu Jian looked back and spoke, his face did not look relaxed.

He believed that these beast masters could find them, and it was only a matter of time before other beast masters discovered them.

And as time goes by, the dangers they encounter will only increase.

"Well, it is indeed."

"When food is at its most scarce in Tianshuang Plain, once one beastmaster takes over, the others will follow closely." Upon hearing this, Director Deng's joyous expression suddenly subsided.

Being able to deal with these beasts is nothing. The most important thing is that they can solve the problem later.

“Ah~Ah”

As soon as their conversation ended, the roar of the beastmaster was heard again from behind.

"Oh no! It's the famous white wolf pack of Tianshuangyuan. These guys are like tail bugs, they will always follow their prey." After hearing this, Xu Jian said to Director Deng: "How fast can trilobites run? We have to get rid of these guys quickly, they are a group of troublesome tail bugs."

"The fastest speed of the mechanical trilobites is only fifty yards per hour. They were originally designed to move on snow and water." Director Deng said that in order to not sink on water or snow, the surface area must be very large.

Precisely because of this relationship, we have to give up some speed.

"The fastest speed is only fifty yards? This is not good news." Upon hearing this, Xu Jian took out a round ball from his storage bracelet and threw it behind him.

"Get out of the way, be careful, don't fall for these humans' tricks."

The leader wolf who followed immediately shouted when he saw the thrown ball.

"Yes, boss."

The crooked-mouthed white wolf that followed closely replied, and the wolves behind him also followed suit, saying what they must watch.

"puff"

At this moment, the small ball that fell to the ground bounced up, then released pink gas, forming a misty wall.

The wolves that came through smelled the scent and their vision suddenly became blurred. They looked at each other with shyness in their eyes.

"Brother, what on earth did you just throw out?" Xu Tingting was stunned when she saw the wolves stopped. The color doesn't look right. What did brother throw out?
"It's nothing, just a little gadget that will attract the attention of beastmasters." Xu Jian said indifferently. The owner of the equipment store really didn't lie to him. This thing is really useful.

The beastmaster, who had been chasing very enthusiastically just now, stopped immediately.

"What are you bastards doing? Hurry up and move." The leader wolf cursed when he found that there was nothing behind him halfway through the chase. What the hell are these bastards doing? Why did they suddenly stop while chasing?

And you, crooked mouth, are you a male? Why are you staring at a male wolf?
I'm afraid there's something seriously wrong?
"hu~hu~"

The drooling crooked mouth was breathing rapidly, looking at the male wolf opposite with eyes full of love.

The male wolf on the opposite side also tucked his tail between his legs, apparently waiting for Waizui's love.

The atmosphere suddenly changed until a claw slapped them on the head.

"What are you two good-for-nothings doing? Are you crazy?" the leader wolf cursed angrily.

It's winter now, it's winter. It's not spring yet? What are these two guys doing?
"what!!"

"Boss, what happened to me just now?" The one who was clawed and flew away, asked with a crooked mouth like a rolling gourd.

"What do you think?" the leader wolf cursed angrily, and ran to the middle of the wolf pack and roared to the sky. In an instant, all the wolves raised their heads at the same time, and the red light in their eyes gradually disappeared.

"Are these guys so resistant to drugs?" Xu Jian, who had run far away, heard the wolf howling, and took out small pieces of green ribs from his storage bracelet and threw them behind him.

go with.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Xu Tingting asked weakly.

"It's nothing. Just give these wolves some extra food. If they are full, maybe they won't continue to chase us." Xu Jian said, looking at the small ribs scattered on the ground.

Research has shown that Beastmasters have a certain resistance to paralytic toxins and neurotoxins, but are much less resistant to gastrointestinal toxins and hormonal catalysts.

He didn't believe that in such an icy and snowy environment, there were a few wolves that could withstand the spare ribs he had put laxatives in. As long as they dared to eat it, they would transform into jet fighters.

This way, they would have enough time to leave.

"It smells so good. It smells so good, Boss."

When the wolves that rushed in with white mist saw the small ribs on the ground, they couldn't help drooling and opened their mouths to bite the ribs.

"You bunch of idiots really dare to eat it! This is a trap set by humans, spit it out." The leader wolf rushed forward and found that his younger brothers were gnawing on ribs, so he immediately cursed.

Humans are the most cunning creatures. How could they be so kind as to leave food for them? This is a trap.

"That's impossible, Boss. The meat smells fine, right? It's almost the same as what we usually eat." The crooked-mouthed white wolf licked his lips and continued eating.

"Yes, boss, you can try it." The other white wolves said after hearing this, and the next second they all clamped their tails together and began to spray out a smelly liquid.

"You are a bunch of idiots." The wolf leader's face turned black when he saw this.

It is because of these idiots that their hunting operations have failed.

"Boss, there's something wrong with this meat." Waizui said as he couldn't help but spit out.

Humans are so evil that they actually use such despicable means to deal with them.

"Didn't you just say no?" The leader wolf ran to the upwind side with disgust and waited. Otherwise, if he left, his brothers might be exhausted from diarrhea and be eaten by other beasts.
