I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Upon hearing Huang Wentao's words, the many shelter captains present exchanged bewildered glances.

For a time,

No one directly stepped forward to say they wanted to leave Vault One.

No one stood up to agree with Huang Wentao!

It wasn't that the captains of these shelters didn't believe Huang Wentao's words; more than half of these captains were personally trained by Huang Wentao, so they naturally held him in high esteem and were more likely to believe his claims! Their hesitation wasn't due to any sense of belonging to the Tang Kingdom. For over two years, most shelters, like Shelter No. 36, had been filled with suffering for the disaster victims, while the genetic warriors acted arbitrarily, already considering themselves superior. Their mentality had changed, and they no longer cared about worldly sentiments of patriotism!

The reason they hesitated was mainly because the Tang Kingdom's gene organization had never tolerated gene warriors who betrayed the Tang Kingdom. There had even been instances where high-level life-level experts from the Tang Kingdom infiltrated other countries to hunt down a few gene warriors who had betrayed the Tang Kingdom. This had happened more than once!
These team leaders may not care about the lives of tens of thousands of disaster victims, but they value their own lives extremely much!

Seeing the many shelter captains present looking like this, Huang Wentao raised his eyebrows and nodded to the two men in black robes beside the viewing platform.

One of the men in black robes took a step forward and waved slightly towards the sky.

Establish time,
In the deepest part of the sky above the man in black robes, the clouds suddenly dispersed, and a black dot swooped down from the clouds in the depths of the sky, as fast as lightning.

In just two or three seconds, the black dot rapidly swooped down to the sky above the central plaza of Vault One, and in the sight of the many Vault Captains, it rapidly grew larger. It was clearly a flying Source Beast!
This flying beast had a wingspan of six or seven meters, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, its long beak over a foot long with an incredibly sharp tip that constantly flashed with metallic light, and its claws over half a meter long with equally sharp tips. When it landed on the ground, it even managed to carve eight deep holes in the solid concrete floor of Shelter One!
Upon seeing such a massive, ferocious flying beast with pure black feathers suddenly land beside the black-robed man in the central square from the depths of the sky,
The captains of the numerous shelters present all changed their expressions, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. They all swallowed hard, and their faces showed an extremely apprehensive look.

Although there weren't many flying source beasts in the Stone City ruins, the captains of the shelters present had been guarding their respective shelters for about two years and had seen some flying source beasts. However, even the eighth-tier flying source beasts they had seen were not as big as this flying source beast in front of them, which looked like a crow magnified a hundred times, nor did it have the fierce aura of this flying source beast!
Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu, the three among them, couldn't help but take several steps back, their hearts pounding like drums. They were shocked to discover that the aura of this enormous flying source beast was similar to that of the two cicada-like tyrannical source beasts they had previously encountered!

In other words, this is very likely a tyrant-level flying source beast!
Having just escaped the deadly threat of two cicada-like tyrannical-level source beasts, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu had absolutely no courage to resist such terrifying source beasts! If Huang Wentao hadn't been on the viewing platform, and if the tyrannical-level flying source beast hadn't shown any intention of attacking, Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu would probably have turned and fled immediately, just like when the three of them abandoned hundreds of Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors as subordinates!
The other shelter captains, while performing slightly better than Lei Che, Lin Hu, and Lang Pu, were not much better. Some of them even turned pale, clearly feeling the terrifying pressure and deadly threat posed by the black-robed man and the flying source beast!

Seeing the numerous shelter captains present react this way, the black-robed man from Yunqin Kingdom sneered, stepped forward, gently stroked the head of the giant flying source beast lying beside him, and then spoke:

"Fellow gene warriors, the fact that you were able to successfully grow to the late stage of the eighth rank or even the top stage of the eighth rank in a country like Tang, which is poor in resources and scarce in source crystals, shows that your gene compatibility is extremely good, at least 85% or higher!"

"It's a pity that such outstanding talents as you weren't born in my Yunqin Kingdom. Otherwise, you would probably have become powerful late-stage seventh-tier life forms like me, possessing all sorts of powerful resources, and perhaps even obtaining one or two incredibly loyal tamed source beasts, just like this late-stage seventh-tier cloud beast beside me!"

"The Cloud Beast? This is the Cloud Beast, one of the legendary strongest flying source beasts?"

Among the many shelter commanders, one couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Clearly, the Cloud Beast, one of the top-tier genetic beasts that has roamed the ruins of Stone City for over two years, is an extremely terrifying existence in the hearts of every genetic warrior.

"They can even tame cloud beasts as pets! It's said that these cloud beasts can easily dwell among the clouds deep in the sky. When they hunt, they can burst forth with speeds several times faster than peregrine falcons of the same rank, leaving their targets no time to react before having their heads ripped off! With such a terrifying and powerful source beast, ranked among the top ten, as a pet, wouldn't one become invincible among their peers? They could easily defeat elemental gene warriors and materialized gene warriors of the same rank, leaving their opponents no time to react before having their heads taken!"
It's said that the powerful gene warriors of Yunqin Kingdom have received the inheritance of the Central Star System, giving them the opportunity to tame any adult source beast. Seeing this today, it's indeed true!

Lei Che, who had already retreated to the side door of the armored vehicle, couldn't help but show an expression of envy and longing when he heard the man in black robes say this.

The other shelter captains, watching the black-robed figure gently stroking the head of the flying source beast, and realizing that this late-stage seventh-tier cloud beast was actually the pet of this seemingly frail black-robed man, all showed expressions of envy. Normally, once a gene warrior possesses a source beast of the same tier as a pet, he can almost fight against several dragon-elephant gene warriors of the same tier. This is because any source beast, unless it's ranked low on the source beast ranking list, will possess strength and speed exceeding that of a dragon-elephant gene warrior of the same tier once it matures. This is especially true for flying source beasts, and this black flying source beast is an extremely powerful one, ranking among the top ten out of thousands of source beasts!
The man in black seemed quite satisfied with the reactions of the shelter commanders; the cold, arrogant expression on his face softened slightly.
He glanced at everyone present and nodded slightly, saying, "The gene warrior standing by the side door of the armored vehicle is right. All gene warriors of my Yunqin Kingdom, as long as they reach the level of an eighth-order life form, can receive the inheritance from the Central Star System and obtain the means to tame adult source beasts. Unlike the backward taming methods of other countries, they can only rely on source beast eggs obtained through influence to tame source beasts!"
Such taming methods are enough to allow any gene warrior in my Yunqin Kingdom with a life level of 8 or above to obtain at least one powerful source beast as a pet, becoming a super gene warrior capable of fighting against multiple opponents!
Right now, you gene warriors with excellent genetic compatibility have a tremendous opportunity!
If you swear allegiance to my Yunqin Kingdom and to me, the black-robed source cultivator, and force out a wisp of the purest source energy from your body and give it to me, then from now on you will become my subordinates and official citizens of my Yunqin Kingdom!
From now on, you will be able to travel with me to Yunqin Kingdom at any time and enjoy the endless supply of resources from Yunqin Kingdom. You will no longer have to worry about the consumption of source crystals used for cultivation!
Not only that, this time, if you choose to join my Yunqin Kingdom, I, Bai Dedong, and my colleague Lu Ao can use the local resources in these stone city ruins to teach you how to tame powerful source beasts of the same rank. If there's a chance, perhaps one of you lucky ones can even obtain an eighth-rank cloud beast as a pet. Even if you don't get a cloud beast pet, obtaining a powerful insect-type source beast, or a giant python or cat-type source beast as a pet will still make countless other gene warriors incredibly envious!
Furthermore, I can guarantee that as long as you become my official subordinates, I will protect you and keep you from being hunted down by the Tang Kingdom Gene Organization. However, normally, no Tang Kingdom Gene Warrior who intends to die would dare to kill a Yunqin Gene Warrior within the territory of my Yunqin Kingdom. They don't have the guts or the time, after all, the Tang Kingdom is currently in a precarious situation, and even protecting those few important cities is quite difficult!
"Now you can think about it carefully!"

At this point, the man in black robes waved slightly at the seventh-tier tyrant-level cloud beast pet lying on the ground. The huge seventh-tier tyrant cloud beast obediently nodded, then stood up, gently flapped its wings, and instantly turned into a black line, flying towards the depths of the sky. It soon disappeared into the clouds high in the sky.

at this time,

The central square was quite quiet.

The hearts of every shelter commander present began to race.

The powerful late-stage seventh-tier gene warrior from Yunqin Kingdom just now displayed a Tyrant-level cloud beast pet, which made the captains of these shelters extremely envious. After all, having such a Tyrant-level pet would not only be equivalent to having an extremely powerful source beast assistant, but it could even be said that they would be able to easily fly and roam the sky from now on!
In addition, the words of this black-robed gene warrior from Yunqin Kingdom also dispelled the core concern of these shelter captains—the fear of being hunted down and bountyed by the Tang Kingdom's gene organization for betraying the Tang Kingdom!

After a while,

Lei Che, who had previously retreated to the armored vehicle door, was the first to step forward. He gave a standard military salute to the black-robed gene warrior from Yunqin Kingdom, then walked towards the black-robed man, drawing a wisp of pure source energy from his body and condensing it in his hand, saying:

"Eighth-tier late-stage gene warrior Lei Che is willing to swear allegiance to the Yunqin Kingdom and become Your Excellency's loyal subordinate. From this day forward, if I, Lei Che, betray the Yunqin Kingdom and Your Excellency, I will surely suffer a terrible death and be torn to pieces!"

Before Lei Che could finish speaking, the black-robed man from Yunqin Kingdom had already moved the wisp of pure source energy that Lei Che had condensed into his own palm. Then, he chanted a series of extremely complicated incantations before absorbing the wisp of pure source energy from Lei Che's body into his own.

This source technique is clearly a very special method. It is probably a special source technique that can control or influence a target by absorbing this wisp of pure source energy!

The many shelter captains present naturally thought of this as well, including Lei Che, the first one to step forward. However, what the black-robed Yunqin Kingdom gene warrior had just said was too tempting, and these shelter captains could hardly refuse!
Following Lei Che's lead, Lin Hu, Lang Pu, and the other shelter captains all stepped forward one after another. After giving a standard military salute to the black-robed gene warrior, they began to swear an oath, actively channeling a wisp of pure source energy to the black-robed man!

Soon, all twenty-odd shelter commanders present had completed the oath and that strange ceremony!

At this moment,

The Yunqin Kingdom gene warrior in black robes nodded slightly, revealing a smile.
"From this day forward, all of you exceptionally talented gene warriors, you are all honorable warriors of my Yunqin Kingdom, and also my honorable subordinates, Bai Dedong!"
You will soon see those powerful eighth-tier source beasts in the Stone City ruins become your pets one after another!
This ruined stone city will become your resource base, and today will be the day you rise to prominence, ascend to the heavens, and come into contact with the great heritage of the Central Star System!

Shelter 35

As Lin Xuankong uttered those words,

Beneath one of the massive ice blocks that had landed and trapped an eighth-tier predator canine beast, the ground suddenly cracked open, and an enormous python head burst forth from the ground, opening its massive maw and swallowing the ice block and the eighth-tier predator canine beast whole!
The enormous ice block was only slightly smaller than an armored vehicle, but it appeared much smaller in the giant python's maw. The giant python beast swallowed the ice block with ease, without even having to stretch its neck to swallow it!
This enormous source beast was none other than Lin Xuankong's genius pet—the Little Fat Snake Princess! (End of Chapter)
