Beast Taming: the More the Better - Chapter 594 - 275: Everything is Ready! Journey to Beiyuan!

Chapter 594: Chapter 275: Everything is Ready! Journey to Beiyuan!

“Hey, Commander Zhao, when exactly are we leaving for Beiyuan Province? We’ll still need to prepare once we get there, right? Won’t it be too late if we don’t go soon?”

Su Ping rested his chin in his hand, feeling helpless as he spoke on the phone.

He glanced at the time again.

March 11th.

Half a month had passed since Master Zhu Hong left, which brought them to the agreed-upon time.

However, Su Ping had already mentioned this to Zhao Deguang five days ago. Yet for the past few days, the legion commander seemed to be very busy and kept saying there was no rush.

Finally, it was already mid-March.

Su Ping couldn’t help being anxious.

Seemingly aware of Su Ping’s dissatisfaction, Zhao Deguang’s weary voice came reluctantly from the other end of the line:

“Su Ping, sorry, but I might not be able to go with you to Beiyuan anymore. The agreed-upon time with Beiyuan is March 16th, so we still have five days. I really can’t make the time in these five days. I’ve already given you my recommendation letter. Could you perhaps go on your own?”

When a legion commander made such a request, Su Ping’s helplessness and frustration had to dissipate. Besides, he knew that Zhao wasn’t one to flake out. Su Ping slightly furrowed his brows and said, “Commander Zhao, is the Legion especially busy lately?”

He was genuinely unaware, as he himself had been very busy as well.

From the other end of the line, Zhao Deguang’s voice came again, laden with fatigue: “Yeah, something has come up recently. Damn it, we’re not sure what’s going on yet. A significant number of Ferocious Beasts have appeared at the outlet of West Dragon Lake towards the Eastern Sea, even forming a partial Beast Tide in the sea. Though it’s primarily the marine legion’s responsibility, we still need to coordinate patrols around West Dragon Lake to hunt and destroy any Ferocious Beasts that come ashore. There’s just no time. Sorry.”

Before this, even with Su Ping’s extraordinary talent, it would not have occurred to Old Zhao to apologize to a junior for bailing on him. But in the period around the New Year, the junior in question had surprised Zhao Deguang time and again. Zhao felt he owed Su Ping the proper respect.

A Beast Tide in the sea? Approaching from the direction of West Dragon Lake?

Su Ping slightly raised his eyebrows but chose not to dwell on it.

West Dragon Lake was vast, practically an inland sea of Jianghai Province, even dotted with many islands.

Why would Ferocious Beasts from the Eastern Sea enter West Dragon Lake?

He had to take this seriously. If any beasts escaped the Legion’s hunt and moved from West Dragon Lake to the west, entering Lingxi River and reaching the territory of his home, what then?

He couldn’t afford to let his precious coral creatures be killed.

But the likelihood of that happening was slim.

With the Legion’s defenses, the mighty sea beasts should pose no problem.

Having thought this, Su Ping felt somewhat assured and said, “Alright, please take care of yourself!”

The call ended.

Su Ping rubbed his temples.

If he had known Old Zhao would be like this, why had he delayed? He should have bought a ticket to Beiyuan long ago.

However, his preparations over the past days had certainly been thorough.

With this in mind, Su Ping checked his Beast Taming Space again, just to be sure.

There was a high-purity golden box, as well as Golden Gloves and similar items. These were meant for capturing the Biyao Chunshen. Besides that, there was a huge safe. Within the safe lay treasures and resources that Su Ping had collected by various means over these days.

Among them, the most precious ones weren’t in the safe but in another Space Ring Su Ping had.

It was none other than that Spiritual Level Resource!

Yes, the Spirit Saint Level Soul Guiding Wick!

A Spiritual Level Resource required for cultivating the ancient Super-Rank skill “External Incarnation.” It was also the prize Su Ping finally claimed as the first-place winner of the cultivation competition.

Additionally, the other resources needed to cultivate External Incarnation were all in his possession. These included Emperor Level Ethereal Spirit Water, Monarch Level Monarch Slime’s Nucleus, Fast Reproduction Spores, Advanced Soul Fragments, and the like.

As for why he kept the Soul Guiding Wick separate, it wasn’t because these resources caused any reaction together. It was purely because Su Ping was worried about attracting the attention of Little Flame if placed in the Beast Taming Space.

During this period, Su Ping had focused a lot of his attention on Little Flame, even neglecting some of Feifei’s enhancements. He had come to understand a bit more about Little Flame. It could merge with any flame and seemed to enjoy the company of bird-like Pet Beasts, appearing very pleased when burning alongside them. Moreover, it had a penchant for consuming Flame Fruits. The occasional Flame Fruits Su Ping created had mostly been devoured by this little creature, noticeably reducing Little Crow’s meals.

But that was about the extent of it; beyond this aspect, there was very little understanding of Little Flame. It couldn’t be helped; occasionally, like a creature possessed, it would utter Serpentine Script. But its words were nothing more than the tired old claims about human traitors, which made Su Ping utterly speechless.

So, to unravel this mystery, he planned to raise Little Flame a bit more to understand why it harbored such animosity towards human Beast Tamers.
