Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 291 Voting Meeting
This little blue fish has an extraordinary physique. Lin Chen once went to the "Beast Taming Manual" to find records about the little blue fish, hoping to find its lineage through its kind.

However, there are no relevant records regarding body shape, skin color, or abilities.

The future of the little blue fish is terrifying. Even the Grand Elder has clearly told Lin Chen that while the trump cards of other spirit beasts can be exposed to the outside world, the trump cards of the little blue fish should be kept secret as much as possible and not known to outsiders.

"Gulu gulu~~~"

The little blue fish is informing Lin Chen about the situation inside.

Chen Ming, who was standing next to him, naturally didn't understand and quickly asked Lin Chen what was going on.

Lin Chen's expression was somewhat strange. According to Little Blue Fish, the Nine Formations were actually a nine-square grid.

Lin Chen hadn't considered that the nine-square grid could form an array.

He told Chen Ming everything, and the other party sighed after listening.

"Does the senior know?" Lin Chen asked.

“Of course,” Chen Ming said. “This nine-square grid is not actually a formation, but a sensing array.”

"If there are nine members of the Monster Hunter Guild standing on top, they can break it."

"It's that simple?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Chen Ming remained silent for a while, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

This launch station was likely left behind by the founder of the Monster Hunter Guild, and only he understood the significance of leaving behind the Nine-Armed Battle.

The Monster Hunter Guild was founded with the aim of protecting the power of humanity.

At that time, the great war between humans and demons had ended, and the power structure was being reshuffled. The founder of the Monster Hunter Guild was a commoner, and he knew that some small places could not withstand the beast tide without a powerful force.

Later, he spontaneously founded the Monster Hunter Guild.

However, back then, he only had a lot of enthusiasm, and very few people responded.

Just then, the president of the Monster Hunter Guild met the most important person in the Monster Hunter Guild's life, namely the vice president of the Monster Hunter Guild.

After the vice president joined, he began to reform the Monster Hunter Guild's system, shifting the focus from passion to profit.

The guild leader was initially opposed, but the vice president's reforms to the interests of the guild were indeed very effective, and the Monster Hunter Guild quickly grew stronger.

As long as it grows stronger, it will inevitably attract the attention of higher-ups. For example, Tian Shu Pavilion once directly parachuted in a guild leader to lead the Monster Hunter Guild.

However, the president and vice president remained in complete agreement at this moment. They both believed that the Monster Hunter Guild's original intention was not to grow stronger, but to defend against the monster tide and to give the common people opportunities for development.

The two refused multiple times, which eventually angered the higher-ups in these powerful groups.

Then a crackdown broke out, and in the end it seemed that both sides reached an agreement: the Monster Hunter Guild would be incorporated into the system under the jurisdiction of the Sky Pivot Pavilion, and the number of people gathered between Monster Hunter Guilds could not exceed 10,000.

If any transgression occurs, the Monster Hunter Guild will be immediately disbanded.

Looking back on all this now, Chen Ming felt even more admiration for the guild leader.

Before long, he found nine members of the Monster Hunter Guild in the South City, and they stood on the nine-square grid according to Little Blue Fish's instructions.

Within seconds, the entrance was indeed clearly visible.

This is a hidden little space, and there is indeed a dead tree inside.

"This is the launch station?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

He thought it was a machine.

Chen Ming did not tell Lin Chen what kind of material it was, because this kind of dead tree is a prohibited item by the state.

The creation of the Guild Machine is related to this dead tree, which has strong radioactivity and can transmit signals over long distances.

These are products left over from the Primordial Era, and they are basically controlled by the Tian Shu Pavilion.

"Does the city lord know how to activate it?" Lin Chen asked.

“Beast power and mental strength,” Chen Ming said. “Sufficient beast power and mental strength are enough to activate it.” “But it looks dead to me,” Lin Chen said, looking at the withered tree with disbelief.

“It won’t die,” Chen Ming said. “That’s what makes it so magical; we also call it the Immortal Tree.”

Then Chen Ming found a person, about level 50, who summoned two spirit beasts, one a spiritual beast and the other a combat spirit beast.

They aimed at the dead tree and began to transfer their power.

Sure enough, after a short while, the withered tree began to sprout roots and buds.

Just as Lin Chen was overjoyed, he saw Chen Ming suddenly interrupt him. Others asked in confusion, and the level 50 beast tamer said in shock, "If you keep sucking, both of my spirit beasts will be drained dry."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Chen Ming looked at Lin Chen and said, "I need to re-evaluate this plan."

Then, in the hall, many high-ranking members of various factions gathered.

This is where a voting meeting is being prepared.

The meeting's topic was whether or not to activate the launch station.

The reason is simple: according to Chen Ming and other beast tamers' estimates, activating the withered tree requires at least twenty spirit beasts of level 70 or above to transfer their beast power and spiritual power.

This is a formidable fighting force in the southern part of the city nowadays.

It is wartime now, and recovery will not be easy. What if monsters attack during the recovery period?

Therefore, a vote is needed to decide.

As soon as the meeting began, conservatives immediately spoke up. They didn't criticize Lin Chen's plan; instead, they provided reasoned and evidence-based analysis:
"Firstly, we don't know whether the launch station will be usable after restarting."

"Secondly, it is unknown whether these surviving monster hunters can provide support, or are willing to provide support, and the timing is also unknown."

"Thirdly, everyone should know that this is a spirit beast of level 70 or above. We will suffer a loss equivalent to one-eighth of our combat strength."

Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

The conservative beast tamer added, with reason and evidence, another point:
"In conclusion, I believe that Nancheng is inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. Rather than gambling, we should focus our efforts on defense. As for winning or losing, I believe everyone here is willing to take the risk."

“Yes.” Immediately, someone stepped forward and said, “I would rather die on the battlefield than waste my beast’s strength here.”

This remark drew even more people to the scene.

Chen Ming glanced at Lin Chen, still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude. In fact, what Lin Chen said was definitely a solution.

But now, this southern city doesn't belong to him alone.

Wartime is complex.

To make a decision, you need to convince everyone.

Only when humanity is united can it find a way to survive.

Seeing this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the atmosphere at the meeting in Nancheng was indeed very good.

He also understood why Nancheng had been able to hold off the demonic beasts for so many days without falling.

Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that the forces in the southern city are united enough.

"Esteemed seniors, I would like to say a few words."

Lin Chen spoke, and the others looked at him respectfully.

It's not just because he has Qin Shaoshao, the Heavenly Spirit Body, behind him, but also because his name is Lin Chen.

His record of fighting for the country was unmatched by anyone present.
