Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 60 Temporarily Returning to the World of Wuxia
The group exchanged glances, then all said, "Let's all go back!"

The world of fantasy beasts is wonderful, but it's not a place where they feel at ease.

Moreover, Qi Shaoshang's fate was uncertain, and they all wanted to know the answer.

Cha Nan then revealed the Palu Ball, and without resistance from Guo, Huang, and Shui Mu Yin Ji, he temporarily took them into the Palu Ball.

Before leaving, Cha Nan had to make arrangements for the base and pack her backpack.

Before Cha Nan returned, Yun Zhonghe continued to explore the map during the day and, apart from necessary rest, helped collect wood and stones at night.

Shi Shugang continued to recruit and expand the Mischievous Cats' team. If possible, he also tamed a team of Cotton Yoyo or Pipi Chicken. These two magical beasts have self-destruct skills and can be used as a one-time assault team after being tamed.

Cha Nan also assigned three of the little elephants to the work area at the outpost, to work alongside the two Bona rabbits in planting wheat.

After some thought, Cha Nan decided to keep Fang Dongbai in the team instead of transferring him to the base's work area to enhance security.

As for the five teams that bring back to the martial arts world, Fang Dongbai and Guo Fu took two spots, while Hu Xiaoxiang and Chiyan Niu took two more.

Finally, after some consideration, Cha Nan decided against choosing Mischievous Cat and opted for Gale Falcon instead.

After undergoing a complete transformation and greatly improving his internal strength, Cha Nan's backpack can now carry a weight of about 1,000 jin (500 kg). After emptying most of the other items from the backpack, he can carry about 800 to 900 jin (400-450 kg) of wheat back to the martial arts world.

However, if all the mythical beasts in the team are replaced with Mischievous Cats, then the combined effects of the five Mischievous Cats can raise the maximum weight to around 1,500 jin, which seems to increase the cargo capacity considerably. But Cha Nan currently has plenty of Paru Ore fragments on hand and doesn't care about a small amount of consumption. She wants to maximize the team's configuration to avoid any unexpected situations.

Chanan plans to place the Palu, which will no longer be needed in the fantasy world, directly in the stronghold of the martial arts world.

For example, Cha Nan currently has sixteen Pot Elephants. In the Fantasy Beast World, she doesn't need that many, so she can transfer most of the Pot Elephants to the Wuxia World stronghold by carrying them around repeatedly.

With wheat and enough Paru ore fragments packed in, Chanan crossed worlds and returned to the world of martial arts.

Within the martial arts world stronghold, a flash of light appeared, and Cha Nan emerged first. Guo, Huang, and the other two broke free from the Palu Sphere. Cha Nan immediately checked the terminal and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Qi Shaoshang was there. He released him, and Qi Shaoshang seemed to still be stuck in the moment when he was kicked by the Sen Mammoth. He let out a roar, and his true energy left his body and turned into sword energy that surrounded him.

Once he realized there were no enemies around and he was safe, his expression remained unchanged, only his eyes showed a slight embarrassment.

Cha Nan demonstrated with the Parul ball again. This time, Qi Shaoshang's state was so unpredictable that it was unclear whether he was simply unable to catch him or if there was a cooldown period.

"It's so good that you're alright!" Guo Jing stepped forward, patted Qi Shaoshang on the shoulder, and laughed as he spoke.

“We are all very worried!” he added.

Qi Shaoshang also smiled, seemingly having fully recovered his senses, and said with emotion, "I never imagined that such a ferocious beast existed in this world. If we could bring such a beast to the battlefield, it would probably be worth more than a thousand elite soldiers!"

"This... can't be!" Guo Jing said, somewhat incredulous.

A thousand elite soldiers may not sound like much, but it is actually a considerable number.

Take Xiangyang City as an example. The truly well-trained garrison only numbered two or three thousand. The rest were mostly江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from martial arts circles) and ordinary people. Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate Incident only involved eight hundred private soldiers, and Zhu Di's uprising to purge the court of corrupt officials also involved eight hundred.

“It’s possible! The mammoth has thick hide and a huge body. Combined with its abilities, it is very effective in group attacks. If we can’t break through its defenses and kill it immediately, then once it charges into the army formation, its destructive power will indeed be considerable.” Cha Nan said proactively, understanding Qi Shaoshang’s meaning.

After being jolted awake from his fear of the mammoth, Qi Shaoshang's first thought was whether he could capture it and deploy it on the battlefield.

"Then can we capture it?" Huang Rong asked immediately, her eyes brightening.

If Xiangyang had three or five mammoths, it would be like having an ace up its sleeve. With the strength of the mammoths, if they were to lead the charge, Xiangyang would be able to break through the enemy's encirclement at any time. Whether it was to ask for reinforcements, to flank and raid the enemy's base, to charge into battle, or even to plug the holes in any breach in the city wall, it would be extremely useful.

Cha Nan spread his hands: "That's probably a bit difficult. Let's not even talk about whether we can beat them or suppress them."

"The kind of Paluk I can create now has virtually no chance of capturing a Morphin Mammoth."

"If you don't have it now, then work hard to make it happen!"

"Whatever we lack, whatever help we need, as long as we have it and can do it... we will spare no effort!" Guo Jing said decisively.

Cha Nan said, "Then we'll need a lot of experts!"

"Whether they are righteous or evil, as long as they are masters, I need them all... each has their own uses!"

It's too slow for Yun Zhonghe to explore the map alone. If there were four or five other masters of light-footed skills like Yun Zhonghe to explore the map, Cha Nan could quickly figure out the surrounding environment, light up more teleportation points, and acquire more technology points.

Everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Cha Nan ignored them, emptied the wheat out of her backpack, and then began to upgrade the stronghold. After upgrading the stronghold six times, Cha Nan placed the Little Elephant Pot in the stronghold's work column.

“From now on, this little elephant will stay here permanently. It will provide some mysterious water every day. You can take the mysterious water out to heal people or make healing medicine. As for how to mix it... you can figure it out yourselves.” Cha Nan said, pointing to the little elephant, who was looking around curiously.

Guo Fu, who was also transferred to the base's work section, happily picked up the little elephant and stroked its blue tuft of hair.

"Then I'll take care of it!"

"What a beautiful little fellow!" Guo Fu said with delight.

Huang Rong looked around and then said, "Nephew Cha! The wheat you brought back can be temporarily stored here."

"This place was originally the granary of Xiangyang, so it is the perfect place to store grain."

She thought for a moment, then continued, "However, you don't need to rush to transport all the food over. Just enough to feed us for half a month is fine. Leave the rest in your world for now, and move it when needed."

Cha Nan nodded, having no reason to refuse.

In the long run, the later he moves the grain, the less waste there will be of Paru ore fragments.

After all, he is now in a period of rapid growth, and his skills change every day. Perhaps in a month or two, the maximum weight he can carry in his backpack will increase to two or even three thousand kilograms.
