Although the Mountain Salve resembles a pig, its ability to speak human language and intelligence comparable to humans made Qin Shou hesitate to take action.

He captured the kneeling and pleading Mountain Salve into the System Space. When Qin Shou opened the communicator, he discovered that Fang Bao and the others had returned to normal and left the swamp ridge in embarrassment.

Since the group’s backup mechas were damaged, some mechanical masters had to rely on their battle armors for the journey, significantly slowing them down.

Hours later, the sky remained blue, showing no signs of nightfall.

Chen Yizhou and the others finally arrived at a hill filled with cave entrances.

The hill was barren, with only a few tough weeds growing stubbornly.

The cave entrances scattered across the hill varied in size; some had a diameter of only one meter, while others were large enough to allow five to six people to enter simultaneously.

The group landed at the foot of the hill, and Fang Bao looked exasperated.

"Brother Chen, is this the place where the ear mice roam?"

With so many caves, there must be a considerable number of ear mice. Why did this guy hide it like a treasure, acting as if someone was trying to snatch it away?

Crazy!

Chen Yizhou instinctively nodded, feeling equally perplexed.

Originally, he thought the ear mice capable of activating fake talent must be incredibly rare, but the reality seemed somewhat different from his imagination.

Moreover, according to the information, the monster hunters who came to hunt ear mice had all gone missing, making him instinctively conclude the expedition would be perilous.

This was why he had brought along some students from the Mechanical Main City, hoping to use the strength of these underclassmen to help capture the ear mice.

"Brother Fang, deploy the scouting drones to check out the situation inside these caves," he ordered.

Fang Bao nodded and took out several sparrow-sized scouting drones from his Space Wristwatch, sending them into the caves one after another.

"Zzzz..."

On the virtual interface, the group eagerly watched the footage.

The drones began flying into the caves but, within seconds, the visuals flickered and abruptly turned black, as though something had interfered.

"What’s going on?" Fang Bao’s chubby face froze in confusion.

Chen Yizhou furrowed his brows. "The drones were probably disrupted by some kind of magnetic interference inside the caves, causing them to malfunction."

"Then what do we do?"

"Yes, if it’s a magnetic field issue, entering the caves recklessly would definitely affect our battle armors as well."

"That’s true; maybe we should use beasts to scout the caves instead..."

"No way. Who knows if the Beast Taming Chips will be affected? We’re not from the Beast Cultivation Main City, so the beasts’ loyalty isn’t guaranteed..."

While everyone was hesitating, Fang Bao quietly stepped back and was about to send Qin Shou a message when distant thunderous beast roars echoed from the sky.

"Not good! Someone’s coming!"

Chen Yizhou’s sharp warning made Fang Bao feel guilty, prompting him to quickly put away his communicator.

Wow, being an undercover agent is really nerve-wracking!

Following the others, Fang Bao looked up to the sky. A group of Beast Tamers was riding various flying beasts and rapidly approaching.

"It’s people from the Beast Cultivation Main City!"

Chen Yizhou gritted his teeth, glaring skyward. He recognized the leading figure.

Du Zitong, a fifth-year student from the Beast Cultivation Main City, shared the same Vajra Eighth Star strength as him.

Meanwhile, Fang Bao caught sight of the Ice Bone Dragon leading the beasts, and his face turned pale.

"Oh my, it’s the Ice... it’s Leng Wanbai!"

Why is this Spine-eating Gu here?

For heaven’s sake, please don’t target me...

Although Qin Shou mentioned that the Frozen Bone Eater had been suppressed, who’s to say it won’t lose control again?

Given the Frozen Bone Eater’s power and background, it’s impossible to outrun or fight it.

This is impossible!

"Brother Fang, do you have a grudge against the Long Family’s Leng Wanbai?" someone asked from the side.

Fang Bao waved his hands repeatedly. "No, no such thing..."

"Stay alert! The arrival of these Beast Cultivation Main City folks might be for the ear mice as well," Chen Yizhou shouted, prompting everyone to retrieve their mechas and prepare for action.

"Roar!!"

Amid a cacophony of beastly roars, the Beast Cultivation Main City group descended heavily onto the ground.

"Chen Yizhou, why are you here?" Du Zitong’s expression was grim.

Chen Yizhou and Du Zitong were evenly matched in strength, and their respective underclassmen were of similar skill levels. If a fight broke out, it would likely end in mutual destruction.

Chen Yizhou snorted coldly. "I was about to ask you the same thing!"

"Me?"

Du Zitong scanned the mechanical masters and grew more sober.

"You’re also here for the ear mice?"

Chen Yizhou didn’t mask his irritation. "As I suspected, you’re after the ear mice too."

Damn it, how did this guy get the ear mice coordinates?

Du Zitong glanced at Leng Wanbai beside him and whispered, "Little White, what should we do now?"

Leng Wanbai surveyed the hill covered in cave entrances and pondered for a moment.

"We won’t interfere with each other. There seems to be plenty of ear mice here, so there’s no need for conflict."

Du Zitong thought about it and agreed.

"Chen Yizhou, there seems to be a lot of ear mice here. Let’s avoid interfering with each other—what do you say?"

Although Chen Yizhou resented Qin Shou, he didn’t want to engage overly with the Beast Cultivation Main City group for now.

Capturing ear mice was the priority.

"Fine. We’ll split up—your team takes the left, mine takes the right. Whoever captures the ear mice first gets them. Deal?"

"Deal..."

Before Du Zitong could finish, ten or so Beast God Masters suddenly appeared in beast form, diving dramatically from the sky and landing at the foot of the hill.

"Hahaha, so we’re not the only ones who got wind of the ear mice’s whereabouts."

A striking young man with fleshy wings on his back landed confidently with a group of Beast God Masters, unabashedly inspecting the two groups.

Chen Yizhou and Du Zitong exchanged glances, their faces slightly changing.

A Vajra Nine Stars Beast God Master!

"Li Shang, why are you here?" Chen Yizhou asked uneasily.

Li Shang folded his wings and said darkly.
