Chapter 180: Chapter 160: The Tea is Still Warm

The mountains undulated, and in the low-lying forest, two or three dozen Beast Tamers sat casually nearby, chatting and laughing with each other.

“These people of Great Xia are really too weak,” one Beast Tamer said with disdain.

“Exactly, their beast taming skills are truly not up to par, and their combat power is worrisome,” another Beast Tamer agreed, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Another, a dark-skinned, strongly built Beast Tamer, also chuckled, “This time we’ve made quite some achievements. When we go back, perhaps Brother Chi Kan will have accumulated enough contributions to become a Super Rank Beast Tamer.”

With that remark, everyone’s gaze turned towards a man sitting on a large blue boulder.

The man’s hair was braided, and his muscular build rippled, resembling a tiger crouching on the ground.

“Brother Chi Kan, have you accumulated enough contributions?” another Beast Tamer, who was close to him, asked.

Chi Kan licked his lips, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, “If we can take down this world, the resources should be enough.”

Just then, a Beast Tamer suddenly looked up alertly, “Wait, do you hear that?”

Everyone was startled and then listened intently. From afar, a series of deep roars approached rapidly.

“Not good! Scatter!” Chi Kan’s face changed drastically, he stood up abruptly and shouted loudly.

However, his warning was a step too late.

A blue tidal wave surged like an enraged giant dragon from the crevices of the mountains, crashing down on them with the speed of lightning.

Instantly, the team of Beast Tamers from the Exotic Region was dispersed, and dozens of beasts struggled and tumbled in the tidal wave.

Some of the weaker beasts couldn’t withstand the massive impact and died on the spot.

These Fire Element beasts, like having their limbs bound, could not exert even eighty percent of their strength in the water.

Their eyes were filled with terror and helplessness.

Chi Kan’s face went ashen as he stared down the blue onslaught.

He knew that this time, they might have really encountered serious trouble.

The other Beast Tamers also summoned their beasts, preparing to deal with this sudden crisis.

They had selected this spot carefully, and although it was low-lying, it would reveal the enemy’s approach from any direction.

Yet he hadn’t expected such an attack, and in a short span of time, this low-lying area was completely filled with raging floodwaters.

Before they could escape, a giant vortex suddenly surged on the water’s surface.

The terrifying vortex wildly pulled the group of alien Beast Tamers and their beasts into it.

At the mountain top, Sìxiàng stood behind Chen Xing, one hand holding Chen Xing’s waistband.

“It’s done,” Chen Xing quietly patted Sìxiàng’s paw.

Sìxiàng’s paw withdrew.

Chen Xing crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking down at the battlefield from his elevated position.

The Vortex of Demise with Super Rank Proficiency Level combined with Deep Sea Assault of Super Rank Proficiency Level.

They couldn’t react in time and were swept into Taotie’s home ground.

Inside the vortex.

The dizzied group of Beast Tamers realized something was amiss.

It was like a small bathtub suddenly intruded by a tall, dark, burly man.

Not only did the space for movement become perilously cramped, but there was also an ominous tightening sensation.

Amid the giant waves, Taotie was in his element.

He opened his huge mouth and sucked fiercely.

Several Exotic Region beasts were sucked into the massive mouth.

The next second, the Vortex of Demise was activated.

The Beast Tamers and beasts caught in it exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The terrifying suction reversed the floodwaters, pouring them into Taotie’s gaping maw.

Like a bottomless abyss, none who were swallowed survived.

Chi Kan suddenly stretched out his arm in the water, grabbing his cousin by the side.

“Cousin… glug, glug, glug.”

His cousin tried to say something but gulped down a noseful of water as soon as he opened his mouth.

The next second, an undercurrent struck, squeezing them toward the abyss.

“Not good!” Chi Kan’s eyes split with rage, just as a fiery red figure leapt fiercely.

It slammed hard, carrying the two out of the water.

Chi Kan gasped for fresh air as he surfaced.

Meanwhile, uncontrollably, his body was swept towards the center of the Great Vortex by the current.

But another force by his side, and his beast, the Nine Malevolent Celestial Tiger, carried him away from the deadly jaws.

Boom, boom, boom!

Sudden thunderous waterfalls sounded overhead.

Heavenly lightning tore through the sky,

Zzzz—

The entire floodwater region was dyed a bright purple.

Some beasts in the water stiffened, paralyzed by the electric shock.

With a swift current, they were swept straight into Taotie’s mouth.

Chi Kan climbed out of the water and wiped the water from his face on the shore.

Some of his kin were still struggling in the water, while a few luckier ones near the shore gradually managed to clamber out.

Those who remained in the water were mostly dead.

From his angle,

All he could see were the dense, dark shadows in the water.

At that moment, Chi Kan’s back turned cold, “Let’s go!”

He had no intention to stay and fight to the death.

Life was his own; he had to be alive to have a future.

His relationship with these kin was only ordinary, except for a closer relationship with his cousin; the others were just so-so.

Chi Kan rode away with his cousin on the Nine Malevolent Celestial Tiger. They were too close to the enemy’s main base; it was better to leave quickly.

So he wouldn’t have a chance to escape later.

“Go!”

He had only taken a few steps

when suddenly a mass of dark energy flew out from the mountain peak behind them.

The Nine Evil Solar Tiger turned its head and launched a massive flame blast, shattering the dark energy.

A trace of regret appeared in Chen Xing’s eyes from the mountaintop.

The opponent’s Beast Tamer reacted swiftly, and Sìxiàng’s Dark Prison had no chance to get close.

He could clearly feel that these Beast Tamers were different from those competitors at the high school competition, mainly in the speed of skill deployment.

He could distinctly sense that they had a richer combat experience, knowing exactly which skills to use in different scenarios.

To deal with these opponents, he could either crush them with far superior strength

or use a new ability they had never seen before to catch them off guard.

“He’s going to run away,” Wang Tao’s initial shock gradually subsided, and he looked at Chen Xing with a more serious tone than at the beginning.

Behind Wang Tao, the tiger-striped roc, with a sharp gaze, watched the scattering Beast Tamers below him.

“He can’t run away,” Chen Xing said calmly.

No sooner had his words fallen than a profound dark shadow suddenly erupted from the water.

In front of Taotie, an enormous shadow of a barbaric elephant materialized, and then it charged like a Giant Dragon unstoppable towards the fleeing Chi Kan.

Where it passed, the mountains and rocks were mercilessly smashed into flying debris, and the mountain rocks along the path shattered explosively.

The Nine Evil Solar Tiger leapt to dodge, but its position was exactly at the mountainside between two mountains.

In a rush, it burst forth with skills and smashed a hole in the nearby cliffside, quickly diving into it.

Taotie’s speed, unabated, headed straight for the cave.

The small mountain, over four hundred meters tall, let out a loud boom, its debris and dust flying everywhere as the whole mountain trembled.

Half of Taotie’s body slammed directly into the mountain!

Its forelimbs clung to the mountainside, yanking its head out.

It was only then that everyone realized it was holding something in its mouth.

The Nine Evil Solar Tiger was fiercely preventing Taotie’s mouth from closing.

At the same time, it opened its huge mouth and a beam of orange-red light burst forth inside Taotie’s mouth.

“Boom!!”

Taotie’s head was blasted into a daze, and the Nine Evil Solar Tiger, carrying two people on its back, was about to seize the chance to escape from its jaws.

But just as it was about to make its escape,

the next second, a terrifying black light erupted from Taotie’s mouth! An infinite suction force pulled them back in.

“No!!!”

“Is this head-on collision!?” Wang Tao’s cheeks twitched.

This skill seemed to be a bit different from what he understood.

Had a hundred Energy Level Beast just been swallowed?

“Gugu,” the great roc behind Wang Tao, with a sharp gaze, stared intently at Taotie, its eyes full of solemnity.

Seeing his master’s inquiring gaze, the great roc shook its head repeatedly.

Wang Tao now recalled what Chen Xing had said not long ago.

Killing below a hundred Energy Levels at will.

It seemed… not to be an arrogant statement.

He speculated that Commissioner Chen’s Beast must also be at the hundred Energy Level, but its massive size gave it a huge advantage, far exceeding the range of a normal hundred Energy Level Beast, though it probably hadn’t reached Super Rank, as he hadn’t seen the traits of Super Rank on Chen Xing’s Beast.

Chen Xing looked at the two hundred Energy Level Beasts escaping in other directions, he turned his head to Wang Tao and said, “Brother Wang, could you help me keep someone, just delay them a bit.”

“Sure thing,” Wang Tao also intended to get on good terms with Chen Xing.

No one would mind befriending a remarkably promising powerhouse.

…

Iron Rock Pass.

Inside the meeting room, the meeting had just ended.

A group of people were packing up to leave.

One of the high-ranking officers who attended the meeting quietly discussed with others, “Do you think he can make it back before twelve o’clock?”

“I doubt it, he still needs to gather people once he gets out, and it takes at least ten minutes to cover ten kilometers, plus the time to set up defenses to prevent those people from escaping.

Not to mention the time for battle and return, definitely not within an hour,” the person beside him shook his head, clearly pessimistic.

Someone chuckled, “I think so too, he’s still too young, but it’s understandable, young people, if they weren’t spirited it’d be weird.”

Suddenly, the door behind them was pushed open.

Chen Xing 和 Wang Tao entered the meeting room covered in dust.

The people inside the meeting room were stunned.

Someone turned their head to glance at the clock hanging on the wall.

10:30.

“Took half an hour just to get ready? That’s quite slow,” someone in the meeting room timidly said.

But others thought of a possibility, only to dismiss the speculation immediately.

Only twenty-eight minutes had passed.

Considering the time for the round trip, to resolve the battle in ten minutes?

Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Impossible.

“General Gu, all enemies have been fully subdued, um… they died a bit too cleanly, not many bodies left.”

Chen Xing put the bag in his hand on the table, his voice echoing in the meeting room.

As his words ended, the entire meeting room fell into silence.

Chen Xing walked back to his original seat and picked up the cup of tea to moisten his throat.

The water temperature was just right.
