Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code
Chapter 420 Conflict
Even before the alarm sounded, a uniformed man grabbed Qin Ming's arm.
The other party moved very quickly, clearly indicating that they had received specialized training.
One hand gripped his wrist joint, the other pressed on his shoulder, the force just right—enough to prevent him from breaking free but not enough to cause injury. A standard law enforcement grappling technique.
The sound of footsteps around them increased.
The college's law enforcement team's post was set up next to the main road in the dormitory area. As soon as the alarm sounded, more than a dozen students who were passing by and those who came out of nearby dormitories to see what was going on gathered around.
There were uniformed law enforcement officers, students in plainclothes, and a few people who were obviously there to watch the show, carrying packs of spirit fruit tea from the cafeteria.
Qin Ming was forced to stand at the door with his arms held down, surrounded by a group of people staring at him.
It really damages their image.
Qin Ming looked embarrassed and lowered his voice, saying, "Let go, there's really nothing wrong with my identity."
He moved his arms, trying to break free from the other person's restraints.
After his breakthrough, his physical fitness improved significantly. If he really tried to break free, he wouldn't be unable to.
But such violent resistance to arrest could easily escalate emotions.
The other person was dressed in a neat uniform, but his expression was anything but gentle. He raised an eyebrow, his eyes saying, "I don't believe you for a second."
He sneered, "I must say, your pass is pretty convincing; it almost fooled me!"
He had examined the document again and again. The markings were clear, the spiritual energy fluctuations were regular, and the anti-counterfeiting patterns were faintly visible under the light.
The more he looked at it, the more real it seemed. He thought to himself: This document is not something that can be easily forged.
The unique mark of the Array Academy has twelve anti-counterfeiting procedures. They learned the identification methods during their training, and every one of them on this certificate matches.
If it's truly fake, then the person who forged it must at least be an internal staff member of the Array Academy, and someone with considerable authority.
Could there be accomplices within the academy?
He thought about the few people in the department with authority, and his heart sank. If it really was an insider involved in the forgery, then this would be a huge scandal!
Regardless of whether it's related to the previous disappearances, this is no small matter! It must not be overlooked!
Therefore, he was extremely firm in his stance. Forget about letting go or treating them gently; he wanted to take them down first!
He maintained his grip on Qin Ming and shouted sternly, "Whirltail Sable, the stench will knock you unconscious!"
A snow-white ferret leaped out from his collar, somersaulted in the air, and its tail spun rapidly.
A strong stench, accompanied by a grayish-yellow mist, gushed out from the tip of the tail, heading straight for Qin Ming's face.
The Whirltail's Stink Spell is a non-lethal control skill.
The odor itself is not toxic, but it strongly stimulates the sense of smell and the nervous system, causing dizziness in mild cases and temporary loss of consciousness in severe cases.
Moreover, this skill is something the Whirltail Weasel is born with, and its proficiency is extremely high, making it impossible to defend against using ordinary methods!
The enforcement team used these methods to subdue uncooperative and suspicious individuals, with immediate results; there had been no suspects they couldn't apprehend before.
"A gentleman uses words, not fists, but you—" Qin Ming was only halfway through his sentence when the other party had already started spewing stench.
In fact, Qin Ming already had a general idea of the situation at this point.
But no matter how much he pleaded, the other party wouldn't listen, and under such circumstances, he couldn't just surrender.
"Keluke, go."
The opponent is a fourth-tier combatant, which is indeed quite good among the students of the academy, but in front of Keda now, he is nothing special!
As Qin Ming finished speaking, a flash of inspiration appeared beside him.
Keda emerged from the contract space, her moon-colored feathers shimmering softly in the sunlight.
A clear, cool wave rippled from the wingtip; the skill was masterful, and the attack arrived first despite being behind, protecting Qin Ming.
The translucent ripples passed through the foul-smelling mist, and the grayish-yellow gas seemed to be washed by water, its color quickly fading and the stench dissipating.
The ripples continued to push outwards, colliding with a shrike that was caught off guard.
The spiny squeaked, its small body being pushed backward by the water ripples, rolling twice on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Whirltail Weasel, are you alright?" Qin Ming had also managed to break free from the other party with a clever move, and with Keda right beside him, he had no chance left. So he simply stepped aside, picked up his own beast, and asked with concern.
The weasel shook its head laboriously in his palm, indicating that it was alright.
The fur was damp, but there was no real damage.
The other person breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up and the look in their eyes when they looked at Qin Ming had changed.
He recalled the Whirltail Sable, stood up, and his gaze swept back and forth between Qin Ming and Keda.
The fourth-tier Whirltail Sable was repelled in a single move, and its opponent still had energy to spare. Given this overwhelming difference in strength, was the opponent merely a peak fourth-tier being, or... even higher?
Are there any students with this level of combat power?
He quickly went through the names of several well-known figures in the academy in his mind, but none of them matched the scruffy-bearded man in front of him.
"You're definitely not one of the strongest students out there! Your identity is definitely suspicious!"
He took a step back, raised his voice, and shouted to the crowd, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!"
Most of the onlookers were around twenty years old, in the prime of their lives. Upon hearing that shout, the expressions on several of their faces immediately changed.
How can we not act in the name of justice?
School rules do indeed prohibit students from fighting outside designated training areas. But what's the situation now? Assisting law enforcement in apprehending suspicious individuals is an urgent matter requiring expediency!
The crowd began to surge forward.
Some people summoned their beasts, some took photos and posted them on social media to call for backup, while others tried to flank Qin Ming from the side.
The movements varied in speed and the coordination wasn't perfect, but the sheer number of people—a dozen against one—gained the initial momentum and suppressed the situation.
Qin Ming looked at the surging crowd and fell silent.
Damn it.
Who would demolish their own house right in front of their front door?
He deliberately controlled his strength when he had Keda make his move. The Water Moon Wave only used 30% of its power, and its purpose was merely to dispel the stench and repel the Whirltail Sable; it had no intention of harming anyone.
This is the entrance to his dormitory, where he lives.
Little Fatty's precious pets are in the breeding pond in the yard! Even the worthless old tree stump at the entrance is something he's gotten used to and finds pleasing to the eye, so he doesn't plan to replace it!
So he really did act with great restraint!
But this group of hot-blooded individuals couldn't be stopped; they didn't have many scruples.
An ice-type skill grazed past Qin Ming's ear, leaving a crack in the wall behind him.
A large, rock-armored bull charged forward with its head down, pawing the ground and knocking a section of the yard fence askew.
Qin Ming looked at the damaged wall and the crooked fence, and took a deep breath.
There was another thing that concerned him.
So many people have gathered around, how come no one recognizes him?
Although he has some face blindness, just because he doesn't recognize others doesn't mean others don't recognize him!
He had lived in this dormitory for quite some time, and through his daily comings and goings in the dormitory area, he remembered a few familiar faces.
But now, he couldn't recognize any of the people surrounding him.
Qin Ming's gaze swept across the crowd, and the more he looked, the more unfamiliar they seemed.
If it weren't for the old tree stump still standing by the entrance, and the fact that Little Fatty's spatial coordinates couldn't be wrong, he would have seriously doubted that he had gone to the wrong place.
Qin Ming put these questions aside for the time being and focused on solving the problem of containment.
"Fight and retreat, heading towards the open areas to the south," Qin Ming transmitted his voice directly to Keda and Cangxuan.
He didn't speak, but used mental communication through the contract channel. Those around him only saw that Qin Ming's lips didn't move, but Keda and Cangxuan had already received the command.
Keda led the way, and the ripples on the water spread out repeatedly, pushing the crowd rushing towards them to the sides.
Cang Xuan appeared simultaneously, the white wolf's form coalescing beside Qin Ming. Qin Ming flipped onto the wolf's back, and Cang Xuan, propelled by its four legs, slipped through the gaps in the crowd.
"He's trying to escape! Brothers, after him!"
Some clever person shouted at the top of their lungs, immediately broadcasting Qin Ming's real-time movements.
The sound was sharp and bright, with extremely strong penetrating power; it should be audible even through two buildings.
Qin Ming's lips twitched again upon hearing the shout.
The chase and escape became even more intense.
Cang Xuan was fast and agile. Qin Ming lay on his back, the wind whistling past his ears.
More and more people followed. Some ran out of their dorms, some joined halfway, and others just joined in for the fun without asking any questions.
Qin Ming glanced back at the number of pursuers; there were probably close to thirty.
Once is enough, but not twice.
I gave you a chance!
Qin Ming leaned down and whispered a few words in Cang Xuan's ear.
"Cang Xuan, once we reach open terrain, don't hold back. Use all sorts of methods—binding, poisoning, anesthesia—once we get it."
"Forget it, it's not poison. Let's focus on anesthetics and incapacitation."
"Okay, I understand."
Cang Xuan responded and slightly increased his speed.
We soon arrived at the extended area of the training ground. It was a flat area covered with fine sand, surrounded by simple fencing, usually used for large classes or individual student practice. At this time of day, the area was deserted and quite empty.
Cang Xuan rushed into the center of the field, stopped abruptly, turned around, and his four feet carved four shallow grooves in the sand.
Qin Ming straightened up from the wolf's back and looked at the crowd chasing after him.
Nearly thirty people rushed into the arena one after another, surrounding Qin Ming and his two beast tamers. Some were panting heavily, some had already activated their talents and were ready, and even one more enforcement officer stood at the front of the crowd.
The white wolf, however, showed no fear and roared with its head held high.
Wood-attribute spiritual power surged from his body, and dozens of emerald green vines instantly sprouted from the sand beneath his feet.
The vines grew at an astonishing speed, growing from the thickness of a thin rope to the thickness of a wrist in the blink of an eye, shooting out in all directions like a live snake.
The spirit beasts launched an attack instantly, but Cang Xuan's skills were now different from before. Although there were many attackers, only a limited number could truly block Cang Xuan's vines.
Moreover, there are a great many vines, and they can even repair themselves.
Soon, the ankles of the people at the front were entangled.
The vines climbed upwards, winding around the calves and thighs all the way to the waist, before suddenly tightening.
Several people were pulled to the ground and bound tightly with vines, unable to move their hands or feet.
Although the released beasts were relatively agile, they all quickly gave their lives to save their master.
Those behind hurriedly retreated, but no one expected Cang Xuan's area attack to be so powerful. By then, it was too late to create distance.
Cangxuan stood still, and as its tail swayed gently, new vines sprouted from the ground.
It's not even growing haphazardly; it has a clear goal!
First trip her legs, then wrap her hands around her arms, and finally tie a knot around her chest three times.
Several quick-thinking individuals jumped up in an attempt to attack from the air, but as soon as their feet left the ground, the vines seemed to have eyes, springing up from below and precisely wrapping around their ankles to pull them down.
The moment they landed, even more vines surged up, wrapping them up like dumplings.
The law enforcement officers and his companions, who met him halfway, changed their expressions upon seeing the situation.
They were more experienced after all, and fought and retreated, but as their allies dwindled, they suddenly felt a tightness in their feet. Looking down, they saw a vine had quietly wrapped around their ankles.
As soon as it was split open, the sap of the vine, accompanied by a faint, pleasant fragrance, filled the air...
They chased after a stick of incense, fought a fierce battle, and then sent it away.
More than thirty people lay sprawled out in the open field.
Some were bound by vines, some were frozen in place after absorbing pollen, and a few were affected by both, bound and unable to move, with only their eyeballs still able to move.
Numerous mishaps occurred, revealing their ugly side.
Qin Ming sat on Cang Xuan's back, looking down at the people on the ground, and then identified the original law enforcement officers among them.
"Now, can you listen to me properly?"
