The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 135 The Book of Omniscience
Ling Chengen couldn't think of a better solution for the time being, so he could only watch from afar as this high-level expert launched an ambush.

As time went on, Lei Sang gradually became anxious. Bai Qingyu and Su Weihua appeared behind Ling Chengen at some point, also observing the battle situation. The continuous booming and explosions were like a mad, earth-shattering event.

“Red terror elephants are too difficult to kill.” Bai Qingyu stood side by side with Ling Chengen, frowning as he said in a deep voice.

“Thick skin and tough bones are common among elephants.” Su Weihua’s head was covered in mist, his long black hair was wet and hung over his shoulders. He said in a calm voice, “However, if we can successfully surround and kill this ancient giant elephant, we can get very good bone material, which can be made into a batch of very durable weapons.”

Bai Qingyu tilted his head and asked, "Can the weapon you made with your supernatural abilities cut through the bones of an elephant beast?"

Su Weihua shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"My current ability is limited to rapidly purifying ores. While I can synthesize weapons from multiple metals, the resulting weapons are not necessarily harder than those made from pure metals."

Although Ling Chengen did not participate in their conversation, he did hear what Su Weihua said.

Hard and durable synthetic metals are not so easy to test.

If there were various alloy proportions and forging schemes, such as high-carbon steel, Su Weihua's metal-based abilities might be improved even further.

That could be figured out from the system, but the system has been unusually quiet lately. Ling Chengen had no idea what kind of tricks this system, which was always clamoring to do tasks and earn task points, was up to.

Ling Chengen tapped the system in his mental domain and asked curiously, "Why have you been so quiet these past few days?"

The system said sullenly, "So you still remember me after all."

"I got yelled at," the system said indignantly. "You said you were going to do the quest, but after you got the reward from the last quest, you never opened the quest page again! I knew you were a wicked woman who would betray you after you've served your purpose! If I believed your lies again, I'd be a complete idiot."

Ling Chengen: "..."

"Don't you know what I've been busy with?" Ling Chengen looked at the bloody scene before him, his lips twitching slightly. "Finding salt mines, making salt, going to the Hailing tribe to teach them how to make salt, preparing for the wheat harvest, and then we ran into a beast tide. One thing after another, things piled up, how could I have any free time?"

"Also, Bai Qingyu and I haven't been partners for very long, so what kind of tasks can we refresh?"

The system was so angry it wanted to unleash a Buddha: "See for yourself!"

Ling Chengen had no choice but to use his mental power to open the system task page, where a new main quest had been refreshed.

Alternative strategy for Beastman #2 - Yuheng.

Task Reward: Territory Urban Construction Optimization Plan Grade A.

Looking at the task refreshed by the system, Ling Chengen asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is it 'Conquer the second candidate beastman'? Don't I already have four beastmen?"

The system explained carefully: "This judgment was made after the last system upgrade and optimization. Strictly speaking, male beast husbands who have not completed the mating ceremony with you are all considered backup beast husbands, not official ones."

"The host's goal is to dominate the beast world, so the help of a powerful beast master is indispensable."

"Bai Qingyu's water-type talent is SSS-level, which is why he was included in the host's beast husband candidate team when the main quest refreshed."

"Yuheng's wood-type ability is super SSS level. He is powerful, good-looking, single and unmarried, and belongs to the top quality male. Therefore, he has also been included in the main quest."

Ling Chengen said speechlessly, "Is it possible that I can't win over this kind of man?"

The system earnestly encouraged, "So, host, you need to work harder! Doing tasks is just one part of helping your career. Once you take down Yuheng, you'll be one step closer to becoming the overlord."

Ling Chengen: "..."

"So, Su Weihua and Chongzhen weren't considered as alternatives?"

Ling Chengen was still a little curious about what the criteria were for this system to select a backup option.

The system said seriously, "The beast husbands I recommend are all those who possess both strength and good looks. Strictly speaking, Chong Zhen and Su Weihua are not on the same level as Yu Heng and Bai Qingyu."

Ling Chengen didn't quite like this way of classifying people into different levels, but the system had its own judgment and wouldn't change its decision because of her slight discomfort.

System: "But if the host likes it, it will be recognized as long as a marriage ceremony is held."

“Chongzhen’s earth element talent is only S-level, Su Weihua’s metal element talent is SS-level, and Yu Shaochen’s wood element talent is only B-level.”

Ling Chengen asked curiously, "What are you referring to when you say B-grade to Super 3S-grade?"

"Special talents, everyone's talents are different, and the upper limit is also different."

"For example, Yu Shaochen is a Wood-type B-level, so his ability improvement speed will be much slower than that of an S-level. Just like Chong Zhen and he are both 17 years old, Yu Shaochen has barely improved to level four, but Chong Zhen is already a level seven Earth-type, while Bai Qingyu, who is an SSS-level, was already a level nine Water-type when he was 17 years old."

"Where is Yuheng?"

"When Yuheng was 17 years old, he was already at level 14 of the Wood element."

Ling Chengen was instantly shocked: "So high? Is the difference between 3S and Super 3S talent really that big?"

The system explained, "Currently, the classification of talent levels is based on interstellar standards."

"Super 3S level is the highest talent level to date, which means it surpasses the 3S level talent."

"To give an example, a 3S-level talent value is 1000, and anything above 1000 is called Super 3S-level."

"10000 is a Super 3S class, and 100000 is also a Super 3S class."

"The difference between Bai Qingyu's and Yu Heng's talents is as great as the difference between 1000 and 100000."

Ling Chengen exclaimed in shock, "According to what you're saying, does that mean I'm only 3S-level as well?"

"To be precise, he's above 3S, just not as talented as Yuheng." The system was unusually considerate, whispering to comfort him, "But don't worry, there's probably only one beastman as freakish as him in the entire beast world. Even in the powerful interstellar era, there are no more than ten people with above 3S talent."

Ling Chengen was not comforted, because she clearly realized that the gap between her and Yuheng was probably greater than the gap between a person and a dog.

It's heartbreaking to think about!
Ling Chengen quickly regained his composure and asked, "Yuheng has already left. This quest was refreshed more than half a month ago, right?"

The system said sullenly, "Yeah, that's why you've been ignoring me. I've urged you to complete the main quest several times, but you've just blocked me."

Ling Chengen touched the tip of her nose guiltily, but it wasn't her fault. The key was that the system always called her when she was busiest or most sleepy, and even when she was half asleep, it would frantically jump around in her mental domain. So she blocked it in a fit of anger.

Then, I completely forgot about it.

"Can the main quest still be refreshed? He's been gone for a long time."

The system immediately perked up and said cheerfully, "No need, I know where he is."

Ling Chengen: "??? You planted a tracking device on him?"

The system said with immense pride, "Do I need it? I am an omnipotent high-dimensional intelligent system." Ling Chengen: "Heh."

She sees it more as a system for the mentally challenged.

“Yuheng is currently in Xilu Youdi,” the system whispered. “He’s protecting your small salt-making workshop in Youdi.”

Ling Chengen hadn't been to Youdi for a while, and immediately perked up, saying, "Tell me in detail."

System: "Yuheng learned of the clues from Su Kang. He originally intended to follow the clues to cause trouble for the people, but the special plants he left in Youdi sensed the return of his old enemies. So he gave up following the clues to find the people and instead returned to Youdi to cause trouble for those old enemies."

“Your small salt-making workshop in Youdi was discovered by those people. Bai Xi led the people to fight them, but they were no match for them and were captured.”

"So you didn't even notice anything amiss when no clues were sent back from the Netherworld these past two days."

The system's tone was somewhat disdainful. Now that the restrictions were lifted, it could finally speak its mind: "However, Yuheng suddenly returned to Youdi before those people killed Baixi and the others, so you Shilin and Hanshan really have to thank him. Otherwise, by the time you discovered that something was wrong in Youdi, you would only be able to collect the bodies, and the salt-making workshop would have already been taken over by someone else."

"Yuheng rescued the orcs who were making salt in the Netherworld and also helped them fend off a small-scale beast tide."

"They probably won't leave until the beast tide ends."

Ling Chengen was taken aback, not expecting that something had happened in Youdi, and that the situation was so complicated.

"Were those outsiders who went to Youdi from the southern region?" Ling Chengen asked.

System: "That's right, what else? Only the South has so many high-level ability users, right? After all, Yuheng's strength is unfathomable, and it would be very difficult to capture him."

"Understood, I'll handle the task as it comes," Ling Chengen replied casually.

However, I don't have much confidence in completing this task.

Yuheng is a very complex and unfathomable person. If you really get involved, it's hard to say who's in control.

The system spoke in a sly, tempting tone: "The mission rewards are very generous, including a territory city-building optimization plan. Don't you want to take a look at the introduction beforehand?"

Ling Chengen raised his eyebrows and looked at the battlefield ahead: "Let's look at it later. Right now, it's more important to deal with the Red Terror Giant Elephant."

The system wasn't interested in the behemoth, but it still reminded you, "Don't forget the Book of Omniscience; even this kind of inferior beast can light up the book."

"Collecting unknown creatures into the Book of Omniscience will yield generous rewards!"

"Really, believe me."

Ling Chengen glanced at the Book of Omniscience stored in the spiritual domain and frowned slightly: "Inferior beasts are not considered living beings, are they?"

"This is a mutated ancient creature," the system said seriously. "It can be included, after all, it was once a normal creature."

"Who knows how long it will take to collect the book before we can get the reward?" Ling Chengen wasn't very interested in this inexplicable book of omniscience, and all he said was that the reward was generous, but he never explained what it was.

The system spoke very quickly: "It's a phased process. Once the indexing begins, the homepage will display the indexing progress."

"At the beginning, as long as you achieve 1% progress in the quest to collect the Book of Omniscience, you will unlock a lucky gift pack."

"Then it's 5%, 10%, 15%... and so on."

Ling Chengen tried to access the dusty, omniscient book within his mental domain and asked, "How do I collect it?"

"Use your mental power to connect the Book of Omniscience with that red-feared giant elephant."

Ling Chengen tried it, and an extremely dazzling white light instantly lit up in his mental domain. The seemingly tattered and heavy outer shell of the Book of Omniscience slowly opened. As the mental bridge was established, a three-dimensional image of the Red Terror Ancient Giant Elephant and more detailed information quickly appeared on the first page of the Book of Omniscience.

The three-dimensional and vivid red dinosaur giant elephant slowly moves across the open pages of the book, with black text gradually appearing below it.

Animal name: Red Terror Giant Elephant (pictured is an adult male)
Phenomorphodontidae
Age: 31 years old

Habitat/Lifestyle/Era of existence/Body length/Height...

The rapidly updated data was more complete than Ling Chengen had imagined.

Even after the data was collected, a page of information about the mutated red dinosaur giant elephant was attached.

Ling Chengen's gaze fell on the last few lines of text.

Weakness: Remove the core (core location...)
Ling Chengen's eyes lit up instantly. The moment he withdrew his mental connection, he quickly determined the exact location of the Heart Stone based on the description in the Book of Omniscience.

Ling Chengen decisively used his mental power to connect with several warriors who were besieging the Red Terror Elephant. Ling Xiao only raised his guard the moment the mental power entered his mind, but after realizing that it was his eldest daughter's superpower, he quickly relaxed and heard Ling Chengen's voice echoing in his mind.

Although I knew that Enen's ability was special, and that she could only speak into other people's minds from a distance, experiencing it again still felt novel.

Fortunately, these warriors had all heard of their young clan leader's new superpower, so they quickly accepted the voice in their minds.

With Ling Chengen's guidance, Ling Xiao and several other soldiers quickly changed their strategy.

The three of them drew the elephant's attention ahead, especially Ling Xiao...

The advanced same-type ability has a strong attraction to the target beast. Although there is a level suppression, the elephant beast is already a completely mutated inferior beast, and the level suppression from the beastmen has little effect on it.

The remaining men attacked from under the elephant's belly, making a small cut and quickly breaching its weak defenses.

Then it quickly penetrates deeper, continuously widening the wound.

The incision point guided by Ling Chengen had no bones; it just took some effort to cut through the skin and fat.

But once the skin and fat are broken open, the heart stone hidden in the crevices is exposed.

The elephant beast also sensed the danger that the heart stone was about to be attacked, and began to turn around and prepare to run away.

Ling Xiao and his men blocked the way at the front, preventing the elephant beast from escaping.

However, the others repeatedly tried to approach the elephant's belly and dig out the huge heart stone, but they were all driven away by the enraged Red Terror Ancient Giant Elephant. Two people were even kicked by the elephant, and its extremely destructive trunk also hit one of them in the abdomen, instantly causing the orc warrior to vomit blood and fall unconscious.

Ling Chengen suddenly materialized his spiritual power into an invisible giant hand, which silently reached into the wound. The moment the giant hand grasped the heart stone, the elephant beast suddenly let out a shrill and furious roar, turned its head and locked onto her position, charging towards her without regard for anything else, sending all the orcs in its path flying.

Su Weihua and Bai Qingyu immediately stepped in front of her. Ling Chengen stood there and suddenly curled the corner of his mouth. He just watched the furious elephant beast quietly, and then suddenly pulled his right hand back.

The enormous heart stone suddenly detached from the giant elephant's body and fell to the ground.

The elephant beast lost its heart stone, its red eyes instantly lost their luster, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
