Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

These three iron hooks, each over a foot long and weighing over a hundred pounds, were all loaded onto a horse-drawn cart.

Because Ying Zheng and his men hadn't tamed any wild animals, the cart had to be pulled by manpower. They took turns pulling the cart.

It took Ying Zheng and his group of about thirty people two and a half days to reach the Changlang River again.

When Ying Zheng and his entourage arrived, Huoyu City naturally noticed them as well.

The gods of Fire Jade City arrived immediately, but this time they did not clash with the Primordial Supreme; instead, they were very polite to him.

Among the gods of Fire Jade City, the leader is a goddess named Flori, who also possesses a level four cosmic-level strength.

"Your Excellency Ying Zheng, are you planning to hunt the monsters in the Changlang River?" Flori asked Ying Zheng and his companions.

“That’s right.” Ying Zheng nodded.

“No, no.” Flori shook her head. “You’d better not do this. It’s just asking for trouble.”

"It can't be that bad," said the Supreme Lord Hongdu.

“You don’t believe me?” Flori asked.

She didn't say anything more after that, but simply gestured to the two Fire Jade Gods who had come with her, and they nodded.

Then, they came over, took the wild dogs that Ying Zheng and his men had brought from their carriage, slaughtered them on the spot with knives, and carried away the dog meat and entrails.

"Watch closely!" the two Fire Jade Gods shouted, and then they threw the large chunk of dog meat and bloody entrails off the bank into the Changlang River.

thump!
The heavy carcass of the wild dog plunged into the surging waves and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

About three or four breaths later, suddenly, the surging torrent exploded.

From underwater, towering columns of water shot into the sky. Then, one after another, enormous monsters surged and churned from the giant waves.

They frantically fought and tore at the carcass of the wild dog, creating a horrific scene in an instant.

At this moment, Ying Zheng and the others could see clearly that beneath the turbulent waves, the monsters were all enormous, strangely shaped, and incredibly ferocious.

The way they frantically fought and tore at each other terrified everyone.

Those enormous monsters surrounded the mass of flesh, tearing and fighting over it frantically; the scene was absolutely terrifying!
The smallest of these monsters was about the size of a calf, and some were even comparable in size to the monsters in the lakes and ponds.

"Don't just stand there, hide right now!!" Florty shouted to the crowd. "Some monsters will climb ashore!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Zheng and the others were stunned for a moment, but they still lay down and cautiously peered out from the shore.

The frenzied fighting and scrambling lasted a full fifteen minutes before gradually subsiding. The monsters sank into the water and vanished without a trace.

However, that horrifying scene was deeply etched in everyone's minds.

“There are too many monsters in the Changlang River. Because no one has carried out large-scale hunting for a long time, the number of monsters in the river has increased. Moreover, the monsters are killing each other, which makes them more and more powerful,” Flori said.

"If you want to hunt the monsters in the Changlang River, you absolutely can't do it like this. Throwing blood directly into the river will easily attract a large number of monsters with its smell, and there's even a possibility that the monsters in the river will rush ashore, or even cause a beast tide!"

"A beast tide?!" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

He had heard of beast tides; they were phenomena where large numbers of wild animals went berserk.

"Aren't most of the monsters in the Changlang River fish? How can they come ashore?" said Emperor Wuxuan.

“Of course!” Flori said decisively.

"Have you encountered any beast tides in the Changlang River?" Binghan asked.

“Hmm.” Flori nodded.

“Every so often, a beast tide erupts in the Changlang River. Large numbers of aquatic monsters surge out of the river and attack our Fire Jade City. Every time that happens…” Flori smiled awkwardly, “we will evacuate as a group.”

"Huh?" The Hongmeng Venerables were taken aback.

"A mass evacuation? Why not rely on the city walls to hunt those monsters?" one of the Hongmeng Venerables couldn't help but ask.

“You haven’t seen a beast tide before. It’s something that a stronghold like Fire Jade City can’t possibly withstand,” Flori said helplessly.

"The cultivators can leave, but what about the native inhabitants?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.

“We built underground fortresses in Fire Jade City specifically for refuge. Whenever there is a beast tide, all the natives will flee into the fortresses and come out again after the tide ends,” Flori said.

"I see." Ying Zheng nodded.

"Something has come ashore!!" someone among the Hongmeng Venerables exclaimed as Ying Zheng and the others were talking.

At this moment, Ying Zheng and the others could see clearly that a monster had indeed climbed up the towering bank of the Changlang River!

The monster was about the size of a water buffalo, covered in silvery scales that shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight. It looked much like a fish, except it had a neck on its head and short, sharp claws under its body.

The claws were dark red and looked incredibly sharp; it was clear that it had used these two pairs of claws to climb up.

After it climbed ashore, it stared intently at the group, then let out a strange cry: "Wow!!"

The cry was sharp and piercing, like the cry of a child.

Then, it suddenly swung its body, its short limbs pushing off forcefully, and charged directly towards the crowd.

"Watch out!" Flori exclaimed.

Before she could finish speaking, Binghan had already rushed forward.

Her figure moved with lightning speed, a white afterimage flashed by, accompanied by a crisp sword sound, a sharp sword light burst forth, instantly killing the charging fish monster.

Phew!

Blood splattered everywhere as the fish monster was instantly dismembered.

The Hongmeng Venerables had already witnessed Bing Han's strength, so they weren't particularly surprised. However, for Flori and the other two, it was a great shock.

"Hiss!" Flori and the other two gasped in shock, their eyes filled with apprehension as they looked at Binghan.

They had just sensed that among all the Hongmeng Venerables, besides Ying Zheng, Bing Han's aura was the most unfathomable. They hadn't expected her to be so powerful!

Flori couldn't help but glance back at Ying Zheng, then at Bing Han, a thought flashing through her mind: "Perhaps she's even stronger! Although the overall strength of the universe's civilization still needs improvement, with these two experts in charge, the Hongmeng Universe is definitely not to be underestimated!"

Thinking of this, Flori quickly said, "After killing the fish monster on the shore, its blood will drift into the Long Wave River. The monsters in the river will come ashore on their own after smelling the blood. This way, you can hunt these monsters continuously."

“We do the same thing in Fire Jade City. We left a stretch of mudflat about two hundred meters long between the town and the Changlang River. After those monsters climb ashore, we kill them in this section. The lingering smell of blood will attract other monsters to continue coming ashore, one after another.”

"However, there's one thing you absolutely must be careful about: after those monsters are killed, their corpses must be disposed of as quickly as possible, leaving only some blood as bait. Their sense of smell is extremely sensitive. Otherwise, if too many corpses pile up and the stench of blood becomes too strong, it will trigger a beast tide!"

"Yes, I understand." Ying Zheng nodded. "By the way, how does your Fire Jade City dispose of these corpses?" Ying Zheng asked again.

“We built seven large furnaces in Fire Jade City, and we dragged those corpses there to burn them. The fat extracted from them and dried can then be used as fuel,” Flori said.

"If you don't mind, you can drag the monsters' corpses to Fire Jade City and burn them."

"Won't it smell when it's burned?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of Huoyu City.

He had noticed a strange burning smell coming from Fire Jade City, and now he knew what it was.

“Don’t worry, the smell of burning food won’t attract the monsters in the Long River. The smell of blood is what’s most appealing to them,” Florty said.

"Yes, that will trouble you," Ying Zheng said.

As he spoke, Ying Zheng gestured, and two of the Hongmeng Venerables immediately understood. They removed the hemp ropes and iron hooks from the carriage and then moved the corpse of the fish monster they had just killed onto the carriage.

“This vehicle would be quite suitable for hauling corpses,” Florty said with a smile.

Flori's arrival completely put the minds of the Hongmeng Venerables, who had previously harbored doubts about the affairs of Fire Jade City, at ease.

For the Hongmeng Venerables, obtaining the assistance of the Fire Jade Universe was naturally a highly desirable opportunity.

The true secret behind the destruction of the Fire Jade Universe became a secret kept by Ying Zheng alone.

Just as Flori had said, after the fish monster was killed, other monsters soon emerged from the Changlang River, attracted by the smell of blood.

This time, Ying Zheng and Bing Han did not take action themselves, but instead commanded the various deities of Hongmeng to join forces to hunt it down.

These monsters are quite powerful, mostly at the second level of the cosmic level or above, with a few even reaching the third level of the cosmic level.

Fortunately, Venerable Mahade and others also possessed cosmic-level level three combat power, and with multiple people attacking them, dealing with them was not difficult.

After observing for a while and confirming that Ying Zheng and the others were unharmed, Flori and the other two left with peace of mind.

"If you need any help, please don't hesitate to come to us. We are extremely grateful for your assistance during this time of crisis for our Fire Jade Universe!" Flori said.

Ying Zheng felt slightly embarrassed by Flori's thanks, but still smiled and nodded in response.

After Flori left, the Primordial Lords continued hunting the fish monsters here. Most of these monsters were at the second or third level of the cosmic level, and occasionally a fourth level of the cosmic level would appear.

Once a level four cosmic-level monster appears, it will be Ying Zheng and Bing Han's turn to take action.

"Something big is coming up!" someone among the Hongmeng Venerables shouted.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng, who had been dozing under a low tree not far away, immediately perked up.

"I'm here!" He sat up and picked up the Vajra Spear from the ground.

Suddenly, a monster covered in long hair and with a long, narrow body like a monkey climbed up from the Changlang River.

It is enormous, standing more than three meters tall even when lying down, and at least fifteen meters long from head to tail!
It moves slowly, but when its two front paws grip a rock, it can crush it with a single claw, which is terrifying.

Its fur is long and thick, and when it gets wet, it drags on the ground like a mop.

After slowly climbing ashore, it followed its previous tracks towards the area covered in blood and remains of a corpse.

Upon seeing this monster, all the Hongmeng Venerables held their weapons and stood ready, some even drawing their bows and preparing to shoot.

However, when Ying Zheng saw the eyes of this hairy giant, he was stunned.

Unlike the previous monsters, this monster did not exhibit the madness and brutality that comes with the smell of blood!
"Stop!" Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop the lords who were about to shoot arrows.

"What's wrong?" The venerable ones who had been stopped looked bewildered.

“Let’s take a look first,” Ying Zheng said. “This guy seems different from those monsters we just saw.”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the hairy monster slowly crawled forward. It moved extremely slowly, taking seven or eight minutes to cover a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

After crawling over, it slowly turned its head to examine the bloodstains and bits of flesh on the ground. At this moment, Ying Zheng saw clearly that its expression seemed to reveal disappointment.

Then, it stretched out a long tongue and licked the ground, moving just as slowly.

After licking for about ten minutes, it became increasingly disappointed and finally gave up, slowly turning around to leave, ignoring everyone around it.

"Are the stray dogs we brought still around?" Ying Zheng asked the assembled dignitaries.

“It’s still here.” Supreme Lord Hongdu nodded in response.

"Quickly, bring one over here," Ying Zheng said.

The surrounding Primordial Lords quickly brought over a wild dog.

Ying Zheng casually drew his sword, slit the wild dog's neck, ripped open its belly, and then threw it at the hairy giant.

Seemingly smelling fresh blood, the hairy behemoth stopped turning its head. It turned back to look at the still convulsing corpse on the ground, slowly approached, and stretched out its tongue to roll the dog's carcass into its mouth and swallow it.

After swallowing the dog's carcass, it looked up at Ying Zheng with pleading eyes.

"Quick, another one!" Ying Zheng shouted.

So another wild dog was dissected, but this time Ying Zheng didn't throw it over; instead, he placed it on the ground in front of him.

The long-haired giant stared longingly at the dog meat in front of Ying Zheng. After hesitating for a moment, it slowly crawled over.

After crawling over, it once again used its tongue to roll the dog's carcass into its mouth and swallow it.

After swallowing it, it looked up and gazed longingly at Ying Zheng once more.

"Hehe, you're addicted now, aren't you?" Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.

Smiling, he tentatively asked the hairy giant, "Want some more?"

The hairy behemoth stared at Ying Zheng without reacting. Clearly, it couldn't understand Ying Zheng's words.

"His spirituality is too low," Ying Zheng said with a hint of regret.

The rules of the Canglan Fantasy Realm are too restrictive. This monster possesses at least the strength of a fourth-level cosmic entity, but under the suppression of these rules, it cannot even do something as simple as understanding human speech; it only possesses a rudimentary level of intelligence.

After hesitating for a moment, Ying Zheng took two steps back and beckoned to the hairy giant, signaling it to come over.

This time it seemed to understand. It slowly crawled towards Ying Zheng.

"Alright! They're barely tamable!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but say. (End of Chapter)
