Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Did you handle a snake?"

"What are you yelling about?"

Chi Hong put down his water glass and walked outside. With a wave of his senses, he immediately detected that Kuzes was nearby.

"Bro, that thing's been following me the whole way. I don't think I can handle it. You need to beat him into an idiot!"

Ye Rou's face lit up with joy when she saw Chi Hong. Kong Dou Tu, being a beast tamer who understood her, threw Ye Rou away with a forceful movement.

Ye Rou landed nimbly, but then lost her balance and cried out "Ouch!" as she knelt down on the ground.

Looking up, Ye Rou gave an awkward smile and said, "Brother... Happy... Happy New Year..."

"......."

"Although there are still a few days until Chinese New Year, but..."

"Wu Dazhi, go and give this little kid a really big red envelope."

Chi Hong waved to Wu Dazhi and gave the order.

"Yes, Captain, but how much exactly is 'stuffed'?"

"Stuff it until it's completely full."

"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."

"Waaah, brother, you're so good to me, even better than Auntie..." Ye Rou pretended to cry for a moment, then Chi Hong pulled her up.

This area is almost deserted; people have been killed by ferocious beasts or fled, leaving it practically a ghost town.

Of course, there must be survivors. Cao Shasha, along with a group of former Black Dragon Gang members, is conducting a search and rescue operation.

To Chi Hong's surprise, Cao Shasha, who had been instigated by Wu Dazhi to betray the Black Dragon, did not betray him this time. Instead, she obeyed Wu Dazhi's orders and resisted the ferocious beast.

In their line of sight, a huge snake head could be seen moving. The snake head did not emit any aura. Logically speaking, even if a ferocious beast is dead, its aura should still remain for a certain period of time, depending on its strength.

However, this snake head had no trace of life; it seemed to have been completely destroyed, leaving no trace behind.

"Bro, let's mess with him!"

"I'm a little tired, so I won't do anything. We'll see how you do!"

Ye Rou reached out and patted Chi Hong's shoulder, then put her hands on her hips, showing no sign of weakness.

Come on, let's go head-to-head with the Crimson Lord who has a perfect record of 0 losses so far!

"It's kind of funny to say, but were you chased by your own people the whole way?"

Chi Hong's words surprised Ye Rou. Was there someone on their side?

Then she immediately remembered something: the coastline where the ferocious beast had crawled out, and someone blocking it, which meant...

"hateful..."

"A lifetime of illustrious reputation ruined in an instant! Brother, you can't do this to me..."

Click~~

As soon as Ye Rou turned around, she saw that Chi Hong had already taken a picture and said into his phone, "Hilarious! Ye Rou was so scared by the corpse of a dead beast that she ran dozens of kilometers."

"........."

"snort!"

Ye Rou tossed her head, furious. She vaguely remembered that Chi Hong had posted a photo of Shen Yuzhi with her spiky hairstyle in the group chat, and she had laughed for a while. Now, the boomerang had hit her instead.

Soon, the towering snake head circled around a building and came into view.

Kuzes leaped high into the air, a huge snake head protruding from his spear, and landed with tremendous force in front of the building.

"What is this? An S-rank Beastmaster?"

"How come Chi Hong has so many enemies now that he's the captain? And another S-rank? If a fight breaks out, this building is guaranteed to be destroyed!"

Inside the building, Cao Shasha, who was standing at the window, had just caught her breath when she froze. She saw the menacing-looking group of people below the building.

"Boss, let's run!"

"Just in the fight against the ferocious beasts, many of my brothers have died or been wounded..."

"If we keep following Chi Hong, I think we're all doomed!"

One of the henchmen, looking utterly miserable, stood behind Cao Shasha and said something. The rest of the henchmen all nodded in agreement. With an S-rank character right in front of them, if a fight broke out, they, the weaklings, would definitely be the ones to suffer...

"hateful...."

"Let me observe further. If they really start fighting, we'll immediately run to their aid!"

Cao Shasha looked conflicted, but she still wanted to see.

bang~~~

A huge snake head crashed heavily to the ground. Xu Xiaobao stood up on his horse and walked along Kuzes's arm. Kuzes slowly lowered his arm until Xu Xiaobao landed steadily on the ground.

You could say that this dismounting move was incredibly cool.

"Brother! I have not failed you!"

"The ferocious beast that wreaked havoc on this area has been slain by me. The snake's head is here!"

Xu Xiaobao pointed to the snake head, which was bigger than a person, and said, his expression as if he was waiting for Chi Hong to praise him.

"Awesome!"

"Since that's the case, you probably don't need the money as a reward. So, I'll give you three of these seeds that can enhance your pet's skills!"

Chi Hong casually tossed out three mastery seeds, which Xu Xiaobao caught. After sensing them briefly, Xu Xiaobao raised an eyebrow, carefully put the three seeds into his pocket, and then nodded to Kuzes.

Kuzes thrust his spear fiercely into the snake's head.

A dark aura erupted, instantly blasting the snake's head into a cloud of black smoke. But within this smoke, a stone emitting a dark glow floated up...

"The Root Beast??"

"Xu Xiaobao accidentally killed a primordial beast?!"

Chi Hong was surprised. He immediately grabbed the stone and activated his wave-guiding force. The stone tried to fly into the air, but Chi Hong forcefully pulled it into his hand.

"That's right, it is indeed the [root] of the primordial beast."

"In other words, it seems that the weakest of the Root Beasts is at least S-rank strength."

"A total of one hundred and eight... and some even possess terrifying strength resembling that of a goat-headed monster. This is truly a disaster for the world..."

Chi Hongyong directly put this thing into his backpack in the Pokémon interface.

The Root of the Ferocious Beast *1.

The so-called Longhu Mountain secret technique for suppression disappeared without a trace once it entered his bag, just like a giant root.

"In other words, the seal on Longhu Mountain could be released again for some reason."

"But if I put it in my bag, it'll be forever lost..."

Chi Hong suddenly realized that if he encountered this again, he would put it in his bag and never expect it to see the light of day again.

"elder brother..."

"They also put in the effort..."

Ye Rou stood behind Chi Hong, tugged at his clothes, and whispered.

Chi Hong then slipped three master seeds into her small hand, and Ye Rou immediately beamed with joy.

Splash splash splash splash~~~

A series of hurried footsteps suddenly appeared behind them, and Wu Dazhi also came down, holding an extremely thick red envelope in his hand.

After handing it over to Ye Rou, Ye Rou was overjoyed. You see, she didn't actually have much pocket money, just enough to buy snacks. Her money was tightly controlled by her aunt, just like any other little girl.

So much of it now, and it's all in cash!

Ye Rou felt like she had taken off. She laboriously stuffed the huge red envelope into her little bunny bag, patted it with satisfaction, and even found Wu Dazhi much more agreeable.

"Captain!"

"What are we going to do next?!"

Cao Shasha ran up to Chi Hong with a serious expression, but she was secretly overjoyed.

Two S-class ratings!!

What kind of divine backer is this?

Wu Dazhi is an honest man! If it weren't for him, I might have been killed long ago!
