Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

Outer Ring Beast Pavilion

Yunhu said to Chen Jiuge with a fawning expression, "We meet again, Elder Chen!"

"Manager Yunhu? What brings you here?"

"Shouldn't you be managing the breeding farm at Tianguang Manor?" Chen Jiuge asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Ahem, Elder Chen, you might not be so well-informed in the outside world. The current Tianguang Manor is under the control of Young Master Yun Suyi. After all, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is a property of Tianguang Manor. I'm here to inspect it," Yun Hu said as tactfully as possible.

The outer circle of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion was built by Chen Jiuge himself. Over the years, ordinary members of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion probably have no idea who the actual owner of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is.

Before Chen Jiuge could even respond to Yunhu's words, Axi, who was standing to the side, couldn't take it anymore.

"Patrol? They're here to spy on the adults, aren't they!"

"How could that be? It can't be like that." Yunhu waved her hands repeatedly.

"Okay, then tell me, how long will you be on patrol? When will you leave?"

"Well, I don't know, after all, I was just following orders," Yunhu said somewhat awkwardly.

"Heh, it's just surveillance, isn't it? You make it sound so nice. This Hundred Beasts Pavilion was built by the master himself. You're just trying to steal the fruits of his labor, aren't you?" Axi retorted sharply.

"All right."

Chen Jiuge glanced at Axi, interrupting their conversation, and said calmly, "No need to argue. If you're going to patrol, then patrol. Axi, you cooperate with Yunhu."

"grown ups."

"So be it!"

Watching Chen Jiuge stride away, Axi and Yunhu exchanged a barely perceptible glance.

Chen Jiuge did not linger after leaving the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, but went straight back to the Hundred Beasts Breeding Farm.

"They're gone?" A hint of surprise appeared on Axi's face as he listened to his servant's report.

"He's gone? He didn't leave any words?"

The servant glanced at Yunhu and shook his head, saying, "No, Lord Chen didn't say anything."

"And isn't this normal? Since the adults had children, they've rarely stayed at the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. They spend most of their time at the breeding farm. Doesn't the manager know that?" the servant asked, somewhat puzzled.

This morning, the shopkeeper came to me and gave me some money, telling me to keep an eye on Lord Chen's movements. I felt a little confused.

"Okay, go down!"

After waving the servant away, Yunhu's face showed a hint of doubt: "Axi, is there anything I need to be careful about at the breeding farm, or anything unusual?"

"No."

Axi shook his head firmly. The source of the ferocious beasts in the Hundred Beasts Pavilion was the breeding farm, and he would definitely know if there were any special ones.

"Wait a minute, if there's anything special about him, it's probably that since he had a child, he's spent most of his time living at the farm. That child is rather unusual," Axi recalled.

Yao Yao didn't stay in the Hundred Beasts Pavilion for long, but her first cry left a deep impression on A Xi.

"child?"

Yunhu's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "I remember that you and Elder Chen are from the same place, right? Did he have a lover before he came to Twilight City?"

Axi shook his head, then a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

"What did you think of?"

“Back in the mountain city, a female cultivator did indeed come looking for him; she was a level four shadow mage.”

"What does that child look like? Does he resemble him?"

There is a hint of something between the eyebrows.

"Then there shouldn't be any problem." Yunhu shook his head. He was there to monitor the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. A child's problem was not important. He just wanted to find some leverage to make his actions easier.

Animal breeding farm

Chen Jiuge took off his coat, picked up Yaoyao, wiped the dirt off her delicate little face, and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, what did you do today?"

"Dad, I was really good today."

"Oh, that's a powerful technique!"

Yao Yao flashed a row of white teeth and proudly declared, "I made the biggest cow cry today."

Chen Jiuge praised, "Yaoyao, you're amazing! You're not injured at all!"

"No, it just hurts a little when it bumps against me."

"How about Daddy gets revenge for you?"

"it is good!"

Chen Jiuge gave a look to Douli, the girl who was taking special care of Yaoyao.

Douli gave a helpless smile, took a few steps back, and thought to herself, "We'll probably be having beef tonight."

After spending some time being affectionate with Yao Yao, Chen Jiuge gave her to Douli who had returned, and then turned and went to the council hall.

Although it's called a council hall, it's actually just a simple stone house built of stacked stones, with inscriptions of silencing spells to prevent outsiders from hearing the conversations.

"Everyone is here?"

Upon entering the council hall, Chen Jiuge saw four figures sitting solemnly in their seats.

"Boss, why did you summon us here in such a hurry? What big move are you planning?"

"What a brat! All he ever does is make big moves. Does he want to die?"

"Hey old man, what are you saying?"

"Stop arguing, the boss hasn't said anything yet."

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?"

"That's enough, shut up!"

The last voice belonged to the only woman among the four, and her face was extremely ugly, the kind that would terrify a child to dream about.

Mary coughed lightly twice and asked as gently as possible, "Boss, what is it you wanted to do by calling us here?"

Mary is one of the three strongest members of Chen Jiuge's secret force, and is an eighth-level insect master.

It's funny, really. Despite being the strongest, Mary treated Chen Jiuge the best and spent the least amount of effort recruiting him.

A mistake in breeding insects resulted in Mary's face being disfigured beyond repair. Her husband couldn't bear her current appearance and abandoned her, while her former friends also avoided her.

Isolated and living a life of debauchery, Mary was found by Chen Jiuge at this time. Chen Jiuge showed no dislike for Mary's appearance, and Mary chose to follow him without hesitation.

"call"

Taking a puff of his cigar, Chen Jiuge leaned back in his chair and said in a measured tone, "I know that apart from Mary, the three of you are willing to follow me for various reasons and for various benefits."

"I can understand that, but if you take the benefits, you have to do the work, there's nothing to say about that."

“When you were at the lowest point in your lives, almost crippled, you were able to become cultivators again with my help and regain your former glory. So you owe me a life.”

The three people present remained silent, except for Mary, who kept nodding to indicate that Chen Jiuge was right.

"This is your mission this time."

"What?" The most flamboyant man made an exaggerated gesture: "You want us to go after the Yun family? Isn't that suicide?" "Hehehe, I think this mission is perfect for you. Haven't you always wanted to make some big move? This is just the right time!" the old man said slyly.

"Puppet, what do you say?"

The old man and the young man looked at the wooden puppet, which was stiff all over and had no trace of life.

The puppet raised its stiff arm and picked up the envelope on the table, saying, "I accept it, but after this, the debt of gratitude is settled, and it's up to me whether you stay or leave."

“Of course.” Chen Jiuge had no objection.

This mission was extremely dangerous, so it's normal for the puppet to say things like that.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it."

"Old man, you're the only one left," the young man said jokingly.

"Hehe, I'm different. I'm already old and dying, so it doesn't matter."

"Tch, boring."

After the three left one after another, Mary hesitated and said, "Boss, it's impossible for the four of us to accomplish this on our own."

“I know, so Mary, you need to help me relay this mission to everyone.”

"Those who participate in the mission have repaid their debt of gratitude. Whether they stay or leave is up to them."

"Yes, I will never leave the boss."

"Ok, I know."

"Go ahead and be safe."

In the empty council hall, Chen Jiuge rubbed his temples, a look of fatigue on his face.

“The Yun family, Yun Suyi.”

Thinking of the information sent back by Leng She, Chen Jiuge felt a throbbing pain between his brows. Tian Guang Manor had changed owners. Chen Jiuge had expected this, but wasn't the speed a little too fast? Yun Yan wasn't even dead yet, and they were already starting to exploit the family's members. Bai Cheng didn't seem like someone without power.

"Axi must have some private contact with Yunhu, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to move into the Hundred Beasts Pavilion so smoothly."

"We have no choice but to risk getting rid of Yun Suying."

Several years have passed, and with Chen Jiuge's support, Leng She has become a level seven beast warrior. According to his perception, Yun Suyi should also be at level seven. As long as he removes the guards around him, eliminating him alone should not be too difficult.

"I just don't know how many of the people we've managed to gather will survive, or how many will be willing to stay after the mission is completed."

Chen Jiuge was somewhat melancholy about this, but it wasn't too bad. After all, although these people were of good character, they only stayed under Chen Jiuge's command because of gratitude and other reasons. It wouldn't be a simple matter to truly and completely control them.

Moreover, Chen Jiuge doesn't have that much time. Instead of spending energy managing them, it would be better to increase resources and properly cultivate Gu Lun and his group of young men and women. At least in terms of loyalty, Gu Lun and his group are much stronger.

Meanwhile, after waiting for Carmen, Dang Yue and the others had finally finished their preparations and were ready to set off for the laboratory that Zi Shu had mentioned.

"I remember you. You were the shadow mage who came to him for help back then." Dang Yue sized up the beautiful girl in front of him, a lewd look on his face.

"I felt something was off when you came to Twilight City with him last time. Are you having an affair with him?"

"brush"

A long, black sword was held against Dang Yue's neck. Hei Yue said coldly, "If you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Hehe." Dang Yue raised her hand to indicate that she would stop talking, but in her heart she was unconvinced. She was a level seven cybernetic modifier, why would she be afraid of a mere level six shadow mage?

Party Yue was not mentioned, but Carmen became interested.

"So you and the boss are having an affair. No wonder you can be on equal footing with us with your Level 6 certificate. I see."

Black Moon glanced at Carmen but remained silent. This wasn't out of agreement, but rather because he knew how powerful Carmen was and that he couldn't possibly be a match for him.

If you threaten Carmen like you did with Dang Yue, that guy will definitely trip you up.

Dozens of people walked through the dense jungle. Carmen slapped a large mosquito that approached her and said with some speechlessness, "I haven't left the city in years, and the mosquitoes are this big now?"

"No, it's not a problem with mosquitoes. That lab should be nearby!" Zishu said in a deep voice.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Carmen asked impatiently.

"Don't rush. Before that, let me tell you about the characteristics of that laboratory."

"characteristic?"

“That’s right. Each laboratory studies something different. The laboratory we destroyed before mainly studied the effects of abyssal energy on ferocious beasts. This time, the target is different.”

"Its main research focus is on the evolution of insect-like ferocious beasts."

"That means we'll be encountering a lot of bugs with all sorts of strange abilities, so we need to be extra careful."

"An ant, when multiplied a hundredfold, becomes incredibly powerful, and the same is true for these mutated and evolved insects," Zishu said solemnly.

Twilight City is vast, but most people can only cultivate to level three in their entire lives. There are quite a few people at levels four to seven, but not many. Cultivators above level seven are unattainable for ordinary people, and those who break through limits are even more extraordinary.

"Insects? What disgusting research," Carmen said with obvious disdain.

“I find this quite interesting!” Zhuo Lin said with great interest.

Insects are the most numerous organisms in the world. Although their individual structure is simpler than that of other organisms, they have the greatest potential for variation, and their internal biological evolution is the easiest to induce.

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. Do you know where that laboratory is or what's inside?" Black Moon said calmly.

"As for the direction, it should be over there. I don't know the inside information. The last time I came here was ten years ago, but there should still be one person there."

A hint of recollection appeared on Zi Shu's face: "That person was also a sinful physician, with a cultivation level of about level seven. However, he didn't have much combat ability, but he could use the power of various research organisms. You can't underestimate him."

"However, based on what I know about him, you actually have a chance to recruit him."

"The Family Hunting Group is probably just the visible force behind it. As long as the people behind you have enough funds, recruiting him shouldn't be too difficult."

"Of course, this is on the premise that your boss can accept that he is a pervert."

"abnormal?"

Dang Yue questioned.

"That's right. He not only likes to study insects, but he also likes to watch insects reproduce, and even... well, I don't know how to describe it. You'll probably understand when you see it."

“We need to determine first whether he will cause us any trouble!” Carmen sneered.

Carmen always considered herself a pure person, and during missions, anyone who hindered the mission had to be eliminated, except for those she couldn't defeat.

Outside of missions, Carmen is very easygoing and can take any kind of joke.

"Probably not. He's only focused on his research; he doesn't care about anything else."

"So best."

"I'll send the Shadow Soldiers to check out the situation first."

The shadow of the black moon split into several streaks, which darted toward the laboratory.

"Hope everything goes well."

In fact, when Zishu saw Carmen and Black Moon, a frightening thought came to his mind: to escape his original organization and switch sides to work for the person behind Dang Yue.

However, since Zi Shu currently knows nothing about the person behind Dang Yue, he is still somewhat hesitant.

What if I were betrayed the moment I defected? That would be terrible. (End of Chapter)
