Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

"Hoo~ Hoo!"

Suddenly, a dazzling silver light shone from the eyes of the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon, and it murmured a few times to Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow: "Feihong, are you saying there's treasure in this lake?"

"Ugh~~"

The Silver Dragon of the Sea nodded in a human-like manner, indicating that it was correct.

Zhou Heng immediately said, "Then let's take out the treasure!"

"hold head high!"

With a roar, the Silver Dragon Overturning the Sea teleported its sixty-meter-long body to the surface of the lake.

Then, the entire lake began to boil, as if it had been split in two by an invisible hand, revealing the muddy bottom of the lake.

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene, gaining a deeper understanding of the overwhelming power of the Overlord Beast Tamer.

But this is nothing to the Overturning Silver Dragon.

As a true dragon of the Divine Dragon Clan, the Overturning Sea Silver Dragon is born with a noble bloodline.

Even though it's only at the third level now, it can still alter celestial phenomena, causing torrential rains and floods, and bringing down hail and thunder.

Of course, it can also drain the moisture from a region, causing drought and turning it into a desert.

He Hongmei exclaimed in surprise, "Captain! Look, there's a golden peach tree in the lake!"

Zhou Heng looked closely and saw that the peach tree at the bottom of the lake was completely golden, with more than a dozen golden peaches the size of watermelons growing on it: "This is a mid-grade second-tier spiritual item, the Netherworld Golden Peach, and it is already ripe."

He directly ordered, "Jiuxiao, go and pick the peaches."

"唳~~"

The Phoenix Azure Luan immediately flew towards the golden peach tree at the bottom of the lake. When it got close, it flapped its wings, and a gentle breeze blew by, picking all the peaches on the tree and suspending them in front of it.

Just as it was about to return with the Golden Peach of the Dark Waves, a golden crocodile, about twenty-five meters long, suddenly leaped out of the mud.

This is a Golden Armored Crocodile of the superior Bronze race, which has reached level 20.

"roar!"

The golden-armored crocodile roared and leaped up, opening its blood-red maw to bite at the Phoenix Azure Phoenix.

"Hey!"

The phoenix-like blue luan let out a sharp cry, and an invisible force struck the golden-armored crocodile.

"roar!"

The golden-armored crocodile immediately let out a mournful scream and fell back into the mud, rolling around endlessly.

This is the effect of the Phoenix's Soul Attack Skill, "Harmony of Phoenixes".

Immediately afterwards, Fengyi Qingluan unleashed another Phoenix Wing Slash, cleaving the golden-armored crocodile into four pieces.

Afterwards, Fengyi Qingluan successfully brought back the Youbo Golden Peach and presented it to Zhou Heng in a gentle breeze.

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Jiuxiao, you're amazing!"

"唳~~唳~~"

Upon hearing Zhou Heng's praise, the phoenix and the blue luan let out a happy cry.

Zhou Heng then instructed Fu Hai Yinlong, "Fei Hong, pull the golden-armored crocodile out of the lake."

"Ugh~"

With a low growl, the Silver Dragon of the Sea caused a current to extend from the lake water that had been scattered on both sides, sweeping up the four pieces of the golden-armored crocodile's corpse and sending them back to the shore.

Zhou Heng nodded: "Alright, Fei Hong, that's enough."

"hold head high!"

The Silver Dragon immediately withdrew its power to manipulate the water, and the lake water surged back towards the center. After a wave subsided, the lake returned to its original state.

Zhou Heng also praised Fu Hai Yinlong, saying, "Fei Hong, you're really amazing!"

"Ugh~~"

The Silver Dragon of the Sea proudly raised its head, its whiskers swaying and twisting, appearing quite pleased.

Ji Chao couldn't help but ask, "Captain, that Golden Peach Tree down there is the most valuable. Why don't we uproot it?"

Li Lang retorted, "Didn't the brigade leader say this is called sustainable development? If you uproot the trees, how will they bear fruit in the future?"

Ji Chao said carefully, "But so many of us know there's a second-tier spirit tree down there. If we don't uproot it now, someone might come along and steal it."

Zhou Heng remained expressionless: "That's your business. My principles won't change because of you! While I was here, I couldn't kill all the extraordinary creatures, and I couldn't uproot the spiritual herbs. After we parted ways, you can do whatever you want, but you can't do anything reckless in front of me. That's my principle! If anyone breaks my principles, my contracted partners won't let them off easy."

Ji Chao quickly reassured everyone, "Captain, don't worry, we wouldn't dare to do anything reckless."

Zhou Heng turned to the crowd and said, "The Golden Peaches of the Netherworld can increase the hardness of the scales of water-attribute monsters to a certain extent. There are fifteen in total. I want six, Li Lang gets one, and the remaining eight are for you sixteen people. Each of you can take half a peach and distribute them."

"Thank you, Captain!" Everyone was very happy about this.

Logically speaking, the Golden Peaches of the Dark Waves were discovered and harvested by Zhou Heng's tamed beasts, so even if he took them all, no one else had the right to say anything.

But his willingness to share was an unexpected bonus for the others.

After all, a single Golden Peach of the Dark Waves would sell for around 150,000 yuan in Xuanxiao City, and even half of it could fetch tens of thousands of yuan.

Feeding it directly to the tamed beast can also be helpful to the tamed beast.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Heng used his mental power to store the six Netherworld Golden Peaches into his storage watch.

Li Lang also took a Golden Peach of the Dark Waves.

The rest of the talents then lined up to divide the remaining eight Golden Peaches of the Dark Waves.

Gao Wenwu stepped forward and whispered, "Captain, I have a question I'm very curious about."

Zhou Heng's expression remained calm: "What's the problem?"

Gao Wenwu, with a humble and eager-to-learn expression, asked, "The golden-armored crocodile is clearly the guardian beast of the Netherworld Golden Peach, but the peaches are already ripe, so why doesn't it eat them?"

Zhou Heng did not answer directly, but instead guided the conversation: "If you had observed carefully just now, you would have noticed that there were many skeletons under the peach tree. Also, an ordinary Youbo Golden Peach tree would not bear more than ten fruits at a time, but this time we harvested fifteen."

Gao Wenwu asked thoughtfully, "Why is that?"

Zhou Heng gave the answer: "Because the Golden Armored Crocodile had already eaten the peaches during the previous times the Netherworld Golden Peach Tree bore fruit. Its thicker golden armor than that of ordinary Golden Armored Crocodiles is the best proof. The effects of the Netherworld Golden Peach are limited; eating too many is useless. So the Golden Armored Crocodile used the Netherworld Golden Peach as bait, constantly luring other extraordinary creatures to pick the fruit. In the end, most of them became its food, and the ones it couldn't finish were buried under the Netherworld Golden Peach Tree. This allowed the Netherworld Golden Peach Tree to absorb a lot of nutrients, which is why it broke the usual pattern and bore fifteen fruits."

Gao Wenwu suddenly realized: "No wonder there were hundreds of black-scaled wild boars by the lake, but it seemed that there was only one extraordinary creature, the golden-armored crocodile, in the lake. It turns out that it had eaten all the other aquatic creatures."

Li Lang couldn't help but exclaim, "This golden-armored crocodile is really clever; it actually came up with this method."

Zhou Heng took the opportunity to remind everyone: "The intelligence of extraordinary creatures is indeed inferior to that of humans in the early stages, but we should not underestimate them."

Chen Hui chimed in, "The captain is right. Although we humans are the masters of the universe, other creatures also have their unique characteristics. We must always maintain a sense of awe towards nature."

Zhou Heng looked satisfied: "I am very pleased that you have such insights."
