Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 60 Gugu Chicken’s Greatest Strength (Seeking Follow-up Read)
Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Gugu Chicken’s Greatest Strength (Seeking Follow-up Read)
Two fists are no match for four legs, especially since most of the guards in the City Lord Mansion have been dealt with.
Either turned traitor or killed outright.
Zhou Hong found himself isolated and without support, so he had no choice but to escape the City Lord Mansion on the Thunder Spirit Dragon Sparrow.
What followed was witnessed by everyone—the Thunder Tiger was controlled by two people and locked in a cage. Over the past two days, Song Qingshan’s Hundred-eyed Spider Demon continuously absorbed the corrupt aura from it.
Beasts of the Evil Spirit type often require absorbing negative energies to advance. Plagues and diseases are their best supplements!
"Captain, let’s head back first!"
After displaying their miraculous powers publicly, Chen Mo still felt somewhat uneasy.
After all, the Isolated Island Spirit was not a true Monarch Stage Spiritual Beast. If Song Qingshan reacted or went to stir up trouble, they would be in danger.
"Sure."
Liu Guo’an naturally had the same thought.
"Why don’t you come back with us first?"
Chen Mo said to the Thunder Tiger.
"Howl~"
The Thunder Tiger shook its head; it wanted to find its own Spirit Master.
"Alright then!"
Chen Mo could understand the feelings of the Thunder Tiger and didn’t insist.
"Lord Mo, which major family’s young master are you? Or are you the son of one of our company’s directors?"
Cao Pengyu asked with a smile.
In just one day, his ways of addressing Chen Mo had changed three times, from the initial "Brother Chen Mo" to the later "Brother Chen Mo," and now "Lord Mo."
Though it may seem materialistic, that’s how most people are.
Suddenly a "big thigh" appears; do you embrace it or not?
"I’m just an ordinary worker, and this Isolated Island Spirit was tamed by a mere coincidence. Plus, its real strength isn’t at the Monarch Stage. It was just a bluff just now."
Chen Mo explained.
"I understand, I understand! Keep a low profile~"
But Cao Pengyu’s face was full of disbelief. Even if the Isolated Island Spirit was only at the Commander Stage, it wasn’t something a Low-level Spirit Master could have as a "bodyguard"!
Liu Guo’an and the others also had completely incredulous expressions on their faces; after all, they knew Chen Mo was directly placed by the big boss, having parachuted into the second team.
Chen Mo sighed.
Why doesn’t anyone believe the truth?
"Whoo—"
At that moment, the Cosmic Whale let out a whale cry, and its body rapidly shrank like a deflated balloon.
The effect of the [Behemoth] had worn off.
However, its eyes were filled with excitement.
This was an experience it had never had before; it was a bit thrilling and quite exhilarating.
"Woo!!"
It wanted to experience that a billion more times!
—————————————————————
Meanwhile, the terrified Song Qingshan traveled west, crossing two large mountains to reach a small town.
During his journey, he had doubted whether the giant whale that blotted out the sun was real; such a size and pressure could only belong to a Monarch Peak or even an Overlord, and it would be improbable for it to serve as a bodyguard to a Low-level Spirit Master.
But he didn’t dare to gamble.
Just then, a huge white bat flew past the window—it was the Pale Ghost Bat King.
However, this Pale Ghost Bat King was a size larger than Song Qingshan’s, and the Death Aura wrapping around its body was much denser, having grown to the Commander 9-stage.
Seeing this Pale Ghost Bat King, Song Qingshan couldn’t help but think of his own Pale Ghost Bat King and the bat swarm.
He suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Cultivating the Pale Ghost Bat King and its swarm had cost him quite a bit of energy and money.
The man atop the Pale Ghost Bat King leaped down and approached Song Qingshan; he was wearing a bat mask, the very follower of the Four Gods Sect Song Qingshan had spoken of.
Seeing Song Qingshan here, the Bat Masked Man was somewhat puzzled and asked:
"How did you end up here? Weren’t you supposed to collect the corpses of spiritual beasts infected by the Lost Heart Disease? Have you already completed that?"
"No, it was ruined by some people from another world. However, I’ve nearly collected all of the infected spiritual beast corpses, just missing a corpse of a Commander High Rank spiritual beast now."
"What about Zhou Hong’s Thunder Fire Beast?"
"Cough cough, it escaped."
"Useless! They don’t know our plan, do they?"
The Bat Masked Man furrowed his brows and continued asking.
"They probably don’t know; they still think I’m spreading the curse just to secure the position of City Lord. By the way, did you kill Zhou Hong?"
"Cough cough, he escaped. But you can’t blame me; who knew that Zhou Hong would buy two strange heavy firearms (Spiritual Gatlings) from those people from another world? I couldn’t get close, and he escaped into a branch hall of the Black Feather Hall. I guess we’re probably on the wanted list of Black Feather Hall now."
The Bat Masked Man sighed.
His expression was a bit awkward.
Just now he had called Song Qingshan useless, but it seems he himself wasn’t much better.
It was pretty much a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
"Forget it, none of that matters. As long as the ritual to awaken the Life God goes smoothly, all those Black Feather Hall, those people from other worlds, they are just ants."
To ease the awkwardness, the Bat Masked Man ran his hand through his hair and slowly continued.
——————————
After returning to Hongmeng Company, Liu Guo’an immediately went to see the Minister of the Special Service Department and reported the issues about the curse and Golden City. He also handed over the Pale Ghost Bat King and the samples of the infected spiritual beasts to the research department.
The Minister of the Special Service Department acknowledged the report.
If the opportunity arises, he would personally intervene to convert Song Qingshan.
As for why convert rather than eliminate.
Because the Minister of Special Service Department was a monk, and as a monk, he could not recklessly talk about taking lives.
Moreover, the minister advocates winning people over with virtue.
Over the next few days, Chen Mo and his spiritual beast spent most of their time cultivating within the company.
Occasionally, he would join Yun Shu and others on simple missions, such as collecting spiritual materials and capturing some low-level spiritual beasts.
During these times, he often visited the canteen, chatting with the chef Yu Tao, complimenting the excellent food he made!
Gradually, the two got to know each other.
When in the mood, Chef Yu Tao would also share some knowledge about being a Spirit Chef with Chen Mo.
Such as the three major realms of a Spirit Chef.
The first realm emphasizes precise control over every type of seasoning, every ingredient, and every degree of cooking heat.
The second realm is about letting nature take its course, going with the flow. At this stage, a Spirit Chef is completely familiar with the characteristics and flavors of every ingredient. When cooking, one can be totally at ease, which increases the probability of creating spiritual beasts out from delicacies.
The third realm sees a Spirit Chef’s knife skills, cooking techniques, and the use of spiritual materials, having all reached the peak of perfection, returning to the basics, turning the decayed into the magical. Even ordinary ingredients can be turned into delicious food with excellent looks, taste, and aroma.
These three realms coincidentally align with the philosophical stages of "seeing the mountain as a mountain, seeing the mountain as no mountain, seeing the mountain still as a mountain."
Chen Mo felt impressed but not entirely clear.
But simply putting it as "awesome" would suffice.
On Friday, after mooching a meal from Yu Tao,
Chef Yu Tao stopped him.
"Mo, next time you go out on a mission, could you bring back a few more wild gugu chickens for me?"
In Thundercliff, gugu chickens are a type of commonly seen Electric Type Spiritual Beast; their offensive power and aggression aren’t strong, their only specialty is running incredibly fast.
Of course, if tasty meat counts as a specialty.
Then the greatest specialty of gugu chickens is being delicious.
