Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 72 Connecting Three Teleportation Points
Despite convincing Jellyfish Yin Ji, Cha Nan still wasn't entirely sure it was safe.

Cha Nan knew a little about Yang Guo's strength; he was probably at the grandmaster level.

Currently, the only openly recognized grandmasters on the Mongol side are Jinlun Fawang, Baisun Daoren, and Kuaihuo Wang. Baisun Daoren was defeated by his alliance with Shuimu Yinji. Therefore, theoretically, as long as Shuimu Yinji is mobilized, even if the remaining two grandmasters of the Mongol side are in Nanyang, they will not be able to stop Shuimu Yinji and Yang Guo from joining forces. It should not be difficult for them to leave.

But who can really guarantee that the Mongolians only recruited a few grandmasters?
After all, experts from all realms are now circulating through the interdimensional gates!
Even if they weren't brought under their control long-term, it wouldn't be difficult for the Mongols to send people to other worlds to hire a group of evil sect masters on a short-term basis.

"Guo Jing and Huang Rong cannot be moved; they must take charge of the overall situation in Xiangyang."

"The Mongol side besieged Yang Guo, but released Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang to deliver the message. This may have been partly intended to make Guo Jing and Huang Rong unable to attend to both sides."

"After all, the Golden Wheel Monk and Yang Guo are old rivals, and he should know a lot about Yang Guo's background. With his intelligence, it would be easy for the Mongols to devise such a strategy."

"For the Mongol army, whether or not Yang Guo is killed is not important; what is important is whether or not they can capture Xiangyang!"

"Once Xiangyang falls, the road south will be clear and we will soon be able to wipe out the Song Dynasty."

Cha Nan let out a long breath, and after thinking for a moment, asked Shui Mu Yin Ji, "Master Shui Mu, I wonder... could you find a few more experts from other places?"

"You want me to cross the portal to find you help?"

"Too late! The gate was just opened last month, and it will take at least another month or two before it opens again!" Jellyfish Yin Ji poured cold water on the situation.

Cha Nan then remembered that the boundary gate opens approximately once every three months, with some margin of error, but not much.

Furthermore, the opening of the gates is very random. Some people may travel all over the world and never encounter one, while others may sit at home and a gate suddenly opens.

"Then we'll have to find a solution in the world of fantasy beasts!"

Although bringing Guo Jing and Huang Rong along would give them more confidence when returning to the Mythical Beast World, their minds are currently focused on defending the city. Even if they know it won't take up much time, they'll probably find it difficult to concentrate.

Given this situation, if they were to be damaged in the Beast World and unable to recruit again in the short term, Cha Nan simply communicated with Jellyfish Yin Ji and decided to take her back to the Beast World first.

Of course, they didn't return immediately. Instead, they placed the pot elephants that needed to be taken back for rotation in the team, and then took some supplies that might be useful in the game and put them in their backpacks until their load capacity was almost full. They didn't set off until the next morning.

While the city of Xiangyang was engulfed in flames of war and filled with tension, the world of Fantasy Beasts appeared peaceful and serene.

At the outpost, quite a few mischievous cats were already working. As a mythical beast with four work abilities—crafting, gathering, mining, and carrying—although each work ability was not strong, its practicality was indeed excellent.

The key is that they don't take up work slots in the base; you only need to give them some food, which is practically like working for free.

What if you work too long, your SAN value drops to zero, and you get injured or sick?
Hmm... At that time, we can send a batch of mischievous cats with mature work experience into nature to enhance the enthusiasm and natural adaptability of the entire mischievous cat group, and make a good and effective contribution to the great cycle of the entire fantasy beast world.

"Has Yun Zhonghe returned?" Cha Nan asked Shi Shugang, who was trying to tame a cottony hairy cat, as soon as he appeared.

Uncle Shi didn't even turn his head: "He came back last night, but went out again this morning!"

"Did he draw the topographic map that I asked him to draw?" Cha Nan asked again.

Shi Shugang pointed to the two rolls of drawing paper left aside.

On her previous trips between the fantasy world and the martial arts world, Cha Nan carried back some writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, as well as various tools, furniture, and so on.

Unlocking these items with tech points and then manufacturing them independently would be too wasteful, so it's easier to just bring them directly from the martial arts world.

Cha Nan picked up the drawing paper, looked at it, and felt a little dizzy, but she could still barely understand it. The three teleportation points marked in red cinnabar by Yun Zhonghe were the locations of the teleportation points.

In addition, there are some roughly drawn animal heads printed in different positions, representing different kinds of mythical beasts that gather in these areas.

After spotting a particular spot, Cha Nan lingered on it for a while, and then more ideas began to form in her mind.

After switching to the wolf they had left in the fantasy world, Cha Nan and Jellyfish Yin Ji set off for the first location marked by Yun Zhonghe.

After running for about an hour, Cha Nan finally saw another red teleportation pillar. Next to the pillar lived a group of Melupa, a type of alpaca with pink hooves.

It seems that the mythical beasts really like to live near teleportation points. Perhaps the light emitted by the teleportation pillars has some effect on them?

Looking at these strangely shaped pink-hoofed alpacas, Cha Nan remained unmoved. These mythical beasts had extremely low value in terms of combat, work, riding, or assistance. Theoretically speaking, they had no other use except for killing them for materials and meat.

However, if the breeding ranch is opened, Melupa and Wolf Hunter can theoretically breed Cloud Deer.

As a land mount useful in the early to mid-game and even late game, the Cloud Dew has an extremely impressive movement speed and jumping ability.

Especially with all four speeds in place, the Cloud Deer can be considered a land-based flying machine.

When playing games in the past, Cha Nan preferred to pair Mian Youyou and Huan Yuedie with Yun Hai Lu because Mian Youyou was the easiest to find. She could first collect the three speed attributes of Agility, Sportsman, and Swiftness on Mian Youyou before pairing her with Huan Yuedie with Yun Hai Lu.

However, this isn't a game, so I'm not so picky. Let alone a fully equipped set of stats, just having a two-speed Cloud Sea Deer would make Cha Nan grin from ear to ear.

After all, the speed of the wolf hunter is already quite impressive. The cloud sea deer, which has an even more obvious advantage in speed, greater endurance, and excellent jumping ability, is enough to replace the wolf hunter and become Cha Nan's new mount, even if it doesn't have any speed attribute.

Cha Nan invited Jellyfish Yin Ji, who then made a move from a distance, knocking over the group of Meilupa with a few palm strikes, allowing Cha Nan to subdue all nineteen Meilupa in total.

At this moment, Cha Nan cannot see the attributes of these Melupas. He will filter them after returning to the base. If there are suitable attributes, he will keep them. If not, he will not waste them and will bring them back to the martial arts world in batches and release them.

If they can be subdued by Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and others to serve as mounts or battle pets, then they will be subdued; if not, they will be killed and eaten, so nothing will go to waste.

Touching the teleportation pillar, Cha Nan finally opened the second teleportation point, expanding her range of movement.

Without stopping, they continued towards the second discovered teleportation point.

The teleportation point was located atop a solitary peak, near which lived a flock of low-level Gale Falcons. Cha Nan had no intention of targeting them for the time being. After opening the teleportation point, he took five Palu Eggs from below it and continued his journey to the third location.

For the sake of these five Palu eggs, Chanan decided to temporarily 'let go' of these Gale Falcons.

They enjoy stealing the eggs of other mythical beasts, raising them, and then eating them.

By keeping a close eye on them, Cha Nan can continuously obtain Palu Eggs and transfer profits through them.

The third teleportation point was the furthest, and it took Cha Nan almost half a day to get there. It was already quite close to leaving the mountains and forests, and it was near the sea. Cha Nan could even smell the salty sea breeze in the air.

Near this teleportation point lives a group of surfing ducks, water-attribute mythical beasts, which are low-level mythical beasts that can be captured or not.

However, considering they were all of the 'water attribute', Cha Nan captured three of them that caught her eye, then chased them away and lit up the teleportation point.

At this point, Cha Nan gained three new teleportation locations and three more technology points, which could be used to reactivate one or two early-to-mid-stage technologies.
