Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 187: Tougher than life, right?
"Zizi"

"Zizi"

The charred land was dotted with lava pits, and when snowflakes fell on them, a sound like water hitting a hot iron plate was made.

"Cough cough..."

"cough cough"

On the black scorched earth, the silver hair on Howling Moon Silver Wolf's body was no longer the same as before. Now his body was completely charred and all the hair had fallen off long ago.

The sharp claws were cracking inch by inch, and streaks of blood appeared on the body like dry ground.

It seems that there is less air coming in and more air going out.

Being at the epicenter of the explosion and suffering two injuries at the same time, he suffered the greatest injury in history. Even in the Tianshuangyuan Civil War that year, the injuries he suffered were not so serious.

He now only hoped that the earth dragon was dead, otherwise he would be in big trouble. He was in no condition to withstand the battle.

If he had known that this emperor dragon would be so powerful, he should not have come here.

Now that he had ended up in this state, his already limited life span was shortened even further.

"click"

Just as Howling Moon Silver Wolf was thinking this, the ground covered with lava suddenly bulged up, and then a ferocious head emerged from the ground and appeared in the sight of Howling Moon Silver Wolf.

This made Xiaoyue Silver Wolf suddenly nervous, but he immediately began to comfort himself:

"This earth dragon was also at the center of the explosion, and it ate my Full Moon Fallen. It's impossible for its injuries to be less serious than mine. If we fight head-on, it's not certain that it will be much better off than me."

Although he suffered damage from the explosion of the magma pillar in the sky and then the explosion of the full moon, the opponent was the same as him and was not necessarily much better than him.

Therefore, he doesn't need to be afraid of the other party now. They are still evenly matched, and the other party is just a king-level beastmaster. The injuries he has suffered may be more serious than his.

"You old wolf are quite lucky. This explosion didn't even kill you." Zhong Cong dug his way out of the soil, looked at the scorched earth around him, and soon found the old wolf lying on the ground.

It is very easy to find a wolf lying on the bare ground.

As expected, a legendary beast tamer couldn't be killed so easily, but he didn't expect to be able to kill him directly.

"You, an earth dragon, are quite lucky. You are still alive." Upon hearing this, Howling Moon Silver Wolf staggered to his feet from the ground and said.

Even if you can no longer hold on when facing the enemy, you must not show weakness, otherwise it will give the other side an opportunity to take advantage.

He was now betting that the other party's injuries were more serious than his own and that he would not dare to attack.

"Not only am I still alive, I will also take your life next." Zhong Cong slowly rose from the ground.

This damn old wolf is so insidious, he will never let him be insidious again. He wants to survive after attacking him by surprise. Does he really think he is made of mud?

"Don't be stubborn over there. You and I are both in the center of the explosion. Our situations are similar. If you want to force your way through, I'll accompany you. Anyway, I've lived for thousands of years. It's worth it if I can risk my life to take you away." Howling Moon Silver Wolf said fiercely when he heard it, showing an attitude of dying together.

"If you, old wolf, didn't say this, I might still be afraid of you, but if you say so, then I have to keep you here today." Zhong Cong said with a sneer, and the rolled scales on his body "clicked" back to their original position.

The old wolf is now out of breath, and it is threatening him with such words. It seems that it is seriously injured.

Then he would not hesitate to take advantage of the other person's illness to kill him.

"Then let's try it." The Howling Moon Silver Wolf roared, and a dazzling silver light gushed out and shot towards Zhong Cong.

"Clap"

"Clap"

The silver light hit Zhong Cong and created bright sparks. Facing the attack of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, Zhong Cong walked towards the silver light.

"It's just as I guessed. Your current strength is only one tenth of what it was. This weak attack doesn't hurt me at all. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to deal with you, but now I don't need to worry about that at all." Zhong Cong walked and waved his claws, and easily broke up the attack of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf.

"Impossible... Impossible, how could nothing happen to you?" He looked at Zhong Cong. He was getting closer and closer to him.

Howling Moon Silver Wolf finally panicked, speaking incoherently and launching attacks frantically.

The opponent was clearly just a king-level beast, and everyone was at the center of the explosion, so why didn't the opponent suffer any injuries?

"It seems that you really want to know why? Don't worry, when you die, I will tell you why." Zhong Cong walked and waved his claws as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, and slapped away all the oncoming wind blades and energy cannons.

As the saying goes, a phoenix without its feathers is no better than a chicken. This legendary beast that has fallen into trouble is not even as strong as an emperor-level beast.

"Impossible, I don't believe it. You must be injured, I will drag you to death with me." Howling Moon Silver Wolf said crazily, the bloodstains on his body became deeper, the whole wolf swelled up like a ball, surging energy flowed under his skin and flesh, as if it could explode at any time.

"Want to self-destruct? No way. I'm injured and angry. How can I let you die so easily?"

Upon seeing this, Zhong Cong immediately spewed out a destructive light.

The black light passed through the expanded body of Howling Moon Silver Wolf, and a hole suddenly appeared in his body. The surging energy dissipated from his body, causing him to quickly return to his original state.

"whoosh"

Seeing the Howling Moon Silver Wolf like this, Zhong Cong immediately rushed over and stabbed towards the Howling Moon Silver Wolf's neck with one claw.

“Ah~Ah”

The Howling Moon Silver Wolf, who revealed that he had been interrupted, was not willing to be outdone and bit Zhong Cong's claws.

Suddenly, he screamed again. Zhong Cong's claws, emitting boiling molten lava, pierced directly into the throat of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf.

"Don't you want to know why I'm fine? Then I'll tell you." The molten lava on Zhong Cong's claws was eroding the vitality of Howling Moon Silver Wolf: "As long as the earth is not destroyed, I will not fall either. I am Groudon, the creator of the earth. You, a wild dog, want to kill me?"

"Even ten more explosions wouldn't do that."

"What!!" Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue Silver Wolf couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Zhong Cong in shock. The next second, his vision went completely dark.

Zhong Cong casually threw Howling Moon Silver Wolf to the ground and said, "You already know the answer you want. I guess you have no regrets. Then you can die now."

"Is everyone okay? Is anyone injured?"

Xu Tingting fell from the sky on Dark Pegasus. After seeing the Fire Lizard King and the Great White Duck that had crushed the trees, she immediately came down to look for them and soon found figures curled up in big balloons around them.

"It's okay, it's okay. Apart from being injured by the aftermath of Howling Moon Silver Wolf and Groudon, we are fine now."

"Yes, Miss Tingting, can you help us put the air out of the life-saving ball?"

"Yeah, yeah, we kind of can't feel the bleed valve."

The people wrapped in the life-saving balls spoke after hearing this.

"No problem." Hearing this, Xu Tingting immediately came to the big ball and deflated them one by one.

"Zizi"

"Zizi"

As the big balloon was deflated, the protective ball soon turned back into a vest and was worn by everyone.

"Little sister, how about you going to see Groudon?" Xu Jian asked as he climbed out of the snow. Their equipment was still a little inferior to that of professionals.

Fortunately, they are thick-skinned, otherwise they would have been finished.

"No, I was just blown away by the shock wave of the explosion."

"I didn't have time to check on Groudon, but Groudon is so strong, he shouldn't be in any trouble."

Xu Tingting said after hearing this.

How powerful is Groudon? She still has an idea now.

Don’t be fooled by the huge explosion just now. In fact, it is questionable whether Groudon was hurt or not.

Groudon can absorb the energy of the earth and magma, and its ground-based defense is ridiculously strong.

The endless sea of ​​​​magma and the ground are Groudon's best protection, and it is still very difficult to hurt Groudon.

But the old wolf is in a dangerous situation now. He has no protection and his defense is poor. He might be killed in the explosion.

"Even if this is the case, we have to hurry over to check on Groudon." Xu Jian checked the Fire Lizard King and said after finding that the Fire Lizard King was not injured.

"Yes, it's a good thing that Groudon stopped the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, otherwise it would be unknown whether we could survive." Director Deng followed up and tidied up his few hairs. His hair almost said goodbye to him forever.

"If nothing happens, let's go back now." Xu Tingting said after hearing this. Since her brother and the others were not injured, they should indeed go back now.

"Yeah." Xu Jian nodded and jumped onto the back of the Fire Lizard King.

"Dabai is fine, don't be afraid."

"The battle must be over now. We won't be in any danger if we go over there. Don't be so nervous, okay?" Cheng Kemei on the other side said while comforting the big white duck.

The big white duck was timid to begin with, and after seeing what had just happened, it was so scared that it dared not go over again.

Cheng Kemei had to hold the big white duck's head and comfort it. After comforting it for a while, the big white duck was finally willing to take Cheng Kemei and the others back to the battlefield.

"The scope of this battle is really large." A member of the survey team said as he looked at the endless scorched earth below. No wonder the legendary beast tamer makes the world so afraid. The attack range of such a place is dozens to hundreds of miles, and not every place can afford it.

Look at the ground that was originally full of trees, but now it has turned into a scorched earth. If such a battle broke out in the city, it would be a disaster.

"Yes, the scope of this battle is too wide." Director Deng nodded upon hearing this, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether their man-made mechanical beasts could really have such a degree of destructive power?

You have to know that this is just a legendary beast, if it is a legendary beast.

"Where is Groudon? He's fine. That should be the body of Howling Moon Silver Wolf next to him, right? Oh my God! Groudon is so powerful, it really killed the Howling Moon Silver Wolf." Just as Professor Deng was lost in thought, he heard the exclamations of the crowd.

There was no magma on the ground at this time, so Zhong Cong's bright red scales looked particularly dazzling, just like a fire in the dark night.

Looking in the direction of Zhong Cong, they found the body of Howling Moon Silver Wolf lying on the ground.

"Grawo, you're not hurt, are you?" Xu Tingting ran to Zhong Cong and asked as soon as she landed, her eyes scanning him all over.

"Fortunately, it was only slightly injured, but it has recovered now." Zhong Cong said as he sat on the ground: "Hurry up and collect the body of the old wolf. This is a gift for the little tiger."

"With the old wolf's corpse as food, the little guy will surely grow up quickly."

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."

As soon as Zhong Cong finished speaking, the female Frost Giant Boar could no longer sit still in the Beast Taming Space and quickly ran out to express her gratitude.

With the meat of legendary beasts to eat, her cubs will definitely grow stronger.

"Well, you're welcome."

"Just making the best use of it. After all, I don't eat this stuff." Zhong Cong waved his paw indifferently.

Although this old wolf has all kinds of treasures, he really looks down on it.

Instead of eating a few bites of the opponent's meat, it is better to sit for a while and practice faster. And looking at the Howling Moon Silver Wolf's condition, to be honest, he really has no appetite, so it is better to send him to the younger brothers as a favor.

"Then I'll put it into the storage bracelet." Xu Tingting said after listening.

"Well, remember not to let any of the little tigers inside steal some of this food." Zhong Cong reminded, as this is for the little tigers and the tigress to eat during their confinement period.

Not to mention that after the old wolf's body was put in, it was eaten by the creature inside.

"Don't worry, boss. If he dares to do this, I won't let him go." said the female Frost Boar.

"That's fine." Zhong Cong nodded and spoke, then stretched out his claws to open the beast-taming space and lay down in it.

He was a little tired from fighting this old wolf, so he needed to take a short rest.

"Is this the corpse of the legendary beast? It's so huge and magnificent."

"Yeah, the energy it radiates is pretty scary."

After Zhong Cong entered the beast-controlling space, the members of the survey team immediately came over and looked around at the corpse of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf.

It was the first time for them to see a legendary corpse so closely, and they felt proud to tell it to others later.

"What a pity, what a pity." After Director Deng looked at the body of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The good fur on its body is gone, and its claws are all broken. Even its muscles and bones are bent beyond recognition and can't be used."

"The only thing that was not damaged was the beast core in his body."

A legendary beast was filled with precious materials, but only a few were left. It must be said that this was a huge loss.

Fortunately, the beast core in the Howling Moon Silver Wolf is still there, so the most precious thing has been saved.

High-level beast cores like these are priceless. After all, who would have nothing to do after eating and go out of their way to kill legendary beasts? Isn't that courting death?

You have to know that it is not easy for every legendary beast to grow. They have many means to grow to this level.

Especially for the beasts in the wild who can survive such a fight, their strength is extremely terrifying.

"The beast core of a legendary beast tamer is very valuable, right?" Upon hearing this, the survey team members' eyes lit up.

"Of course, it can no longer be measured by money." Yuan Jinghong nodded.

"So what does this have to do with you? It's not yours." Xu Jian said unhappily, and gave Yuan Jinghong a slap on the head and said, "Get ready to take a break, we have to continue on our way."

"Oh oh." Yuan Jinghong, who was hit on the head, replied and ran aside dejectedly.

After Xu Tingting collected the body of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, everyone set off again on the trilobite.

After they left, the beast masters arrived one after another.

"Isn't this smell the Howling Moon Silver Wolf?"

"Yeah, besides his smell, there's also the smell of a human and another guy."

"From the current situation, the scent of this old wolf has not moved to the surrounding area, but the humans have left. It seems that this old wolf has met with an accident."

After the beast masters arrived and sniffed the ground, they guessed the real situation.

"This is not good news. The guys these humans brought are so powerful that they were able to deal with the old wolf. It would be difficult for us to deal with them if we encounter them."

"That's right. It's better not to provoke this group of humans. Let's disperse."

The beast masters said this and left one after another.

Although they were coveting the corpse of the old wolf, the humans were able to kill the old wolf, so the strength of the guys they brought should not be underestimated.

There is no need to take such a big risk just for a bite of food.

So, on to the next journey.

Xu Tingting and others unexpectedly found that the road ahead was much easier, and no beasts appeared to block them.

"These beast masters haven't come to us recently. Have they suddenly become wise?" Yuan Jinghong asked curiously.

It was unbelievable that they had been advancing in Tianshuangyuan for several days without a single beast coming to cause trouble for them. It was as if they had suddenly entered a peaceful forest. This change made them a little uncomfortable.

"Is it possible that they didn't suddenly become enlightened, but were suddenly frightened?" He Ping said, "After all, legendary beasts don't just fall from the sky. If one of them is killed suddenly, the other beasts will notice it."

"Yes, if I knew that there was an intruder who could kill someone with the same strength as me, I would definitely be cautious and would not take the initiative to track down the other party." Cheng Kemei said.

It is normal that there is no beast chasing them now. If there is a beast chasing them, it would seem abnormal.

Why did these beasts and the old wolf chase them like this for no reason? And after knowing that they could kill the old wolf, they must be full of fear of them.

"Yes, what Ke Mei said makes sense." Xu Jian said, "Since we have already intimidated these guys, we should cut the Gordian knot and get there as soon as possible."

"To prevent any setbacks from happening along the way."

"Yeah." Hearing this, everyone nodded and continued to move forward.

After a few more days, they finally arrived at their destination, a wide valley.

There was a lot of snow in this valley and there were no trees around.

"After going through so much hardship, we finally arrived at this place." Director Deng looked at the photo, then at the valley in front of him and said, "Xiao Xu, please help us keep an eye on the situation. We are going to start the survey now."

"Okay, no problem." Xu Jian nodded when he heard that.

Director Deng released a mechanical pangolin. This mechanical pangolin was different from the ordinary pangolins. It had a large drill on its head and its entire body was covered with golden scales.

"The mechanical pangolin's cabin is open."

As Director Deng spoke, the mechanical pangolin opened the hatch at its tail, and the members of the survey team filed in when they saw it.

After they all went in, the mechanical pangolin made a shrill roar, then crashed into the rock wall of the valley and began to dig a hole.

"The people in the Development Bureau are really interesting. It's obviously faster to use beasts to climb the mountain walls, but they seem to be very keen on machinery." He Ping said after watching the mechanical pangolin enter the underground.

It's obvious that the problem can be solved by beast taming, but these people from the Development Bureau prefer to use mechanical beast tamers. They are a little confused as to what's going on.

"This should be related to the people above us." Cheng Kemei said after hearing this: "There are two factions above us. One faction advocates the cultivation of beast masters, believing that the cultivation of beast masters is the future of the country. The other faction advocates the development of new mechanical beast masters. They believe that beast masters are unreliable and that humans can only become stronger by relying on their own strength."

"But isn't the result obvious now? Mechanical Beast Tamers are not as strong as ordinary Beast Tamers." Yuan Jinghong complained. The country has always said that it will vigorously develop mechanical pre-sales, but up to now, they have not achieved any results except seeing the failure of mechanical Beast Tamers.

"Well, that's the situation though."

"However, those who advocate mechanical beast control say that this is because they have not found the right metal material. They believe that as long as they find the right metal material, they will be able to break through the limitations of the mechanical beast control's power." Cheng Kemei continued.

Man-made mechanical beasts, even if they use the most advanced human technology, are still far inferior to flesh-and-blood mechanical beasts.

The fundamental reason is that the beast tamer can absorb energy, which not only increases his own strength but also continuously strengthens his bones and flesh.

But it’s different for mechanical beasts, their bodies are made of cold steel, and there is no such thing as them becoming stronger naturally. If they want to become stronger, they can only do so by replacing parts or adding materials.

The development bureau they were protecting this time came to Tianshuangyuan in order to look for materials that would allow the mechanical beastmaster to break through its limitations.

"That's not that easy." He Ping muttered, "If we can make mechanical beasts better than flesh-and-blood beasts by just finding some materials, then what's the need for us beast masters to exist?"

"That's right. Besides, machines are machines after all. Even though it sounds nice to say they are mechanical beasts, in essence, aren't they just cold machines?" Yuan Jinghong echoed.

"Well, this kind of thing is not something we can control. We just do things for money. If the other party is willing to pay, we are willing to help." Xu Jian looked at the three people who were discussing and said, "Watch your surroundings and don't let other beasts get close."

"Yes, Brother Jian."

The three people who heard this nodded and turned their attention to the surroundings, no longer talking about the mechanical beast tamer.

"click"

"click"

In the hard underground, the mechanical pangolins continued to move forward, and soon they touched the hard rock. No matter how hard the mechanical pangolins drilled, they could not drill through the rock.

Seeing this scene, Director Deng did not feel the slightest bit annoyed, but instead said happily:

"Everyone, come down. The rocks ahead are so hard. We have reached the mining area."

The drill that their mechanical pangolin is equipped with is very hard, but even so, it cannot drill through the stone in front. Can you imagine how hard the stones here are?

If they could preliminarily confirm how large the mineral resources of this mine were, they could report it to the country and ask it to open up a road in Tianshuangyuan to dig out the mineral resources.

"Yes, Director."

Upon hearing this, the members of the survey team immediately put on their helmets and got out of the mechanical pangolin to work.
