On the eve of dawn.
A factory in Linhai.
"Whoosh--"
A dark shadow flashed quickly through the darkness.
Behind it, several figures were hanging in the distance.
Shen Heng silently watched as Dahuang's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The approval for Dahuang was issued many days ago.
The headquarters approved the Linhai Supervision Bureau's handling of the Dahuang.
It wasn't entirely because they reported the disposal method of Dahuang along with the report; it was also because headquarters had already conducted relevant experiments.
What is clear at present is that ordinary animals, even when they reach Tier 3, will not experience much change in personality.
Further research was not conducted because the experimental subjects were difficult to control.
Fortunately, the appearance of Dahuang can also serve as an important reference.
Therefore, they allowed Dahuang to continue staying at the Linhai Supervision Bureau, and instructed Linhai City to try to cultivate Dahuang into a member of the Supervision Bureau.
Shen Heng.
A soft voice came from behind.
Shen Heng turned his head slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Is it really okay to let Dahuang go find the Calamity Beast on its own?" Le Gu Nan looked at Shen Heng with some unease.
"That's right, what if Dahuang can't beat the Calamity Beast and gets killed by it?" Han Ling asked, equally worried.
"Don't worry, that's highly unlikely. The Calamity Beast we're using as our opponent this time was specially chosen; it's not very strong. Besides, Dahuang has undergone our rigorous training. Even if it can't win, it won't be killed. Moreover..."
Shen Heng raised his eyes, gazing ahead while carefully listening to the sounds around him.
"I've been keeping an eye on things over there."
"And this range is not beyond my sphere of influence."
"As long as Dahuang isn't killed in one hit, I can..."
He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
Everyone was startled.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not like you said, that it was instantly killed in one hit, is it? Or is there some hidden Calamity Beast that you haven't discovered yet?" Wei Leyang's eyes widened.
The others also turned their gazes over.
Hearing the noise around him, Shen Heng hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"Neither, it's just..."
"But what?" Wei Leyang asked.
Shen Heng looked up, gazing ahead, "You'll find out soon enough."
Everyone instinctively followed Shen Heng's gaze and looked ahead.
They didn't have to wait long.
A figure gradually emerged from the darkness.
That was Dahuang, and he was running at full speed, even faster than before.
"Help!! Wasn't it supposed to be First Tier weapon? Why is it Second Tier weapon?!"
Everyone stood there, stunned.
Behind Dahuang, a much larger Calamity Beast emerged from the darkness and began to chase after it frantically.
That was a Tier 2 Wild Wolf.
Its combat strength isn't low among the recorded Tier 2 Calamity Beast, but it's certainly not high either.
At least it shouldn't be...
All eyes turned to Dahuang.
Dahuang was running back quickly, without a single wound on its body, and even its fur was still shiny and healthy, clearly indicating that it had not participated in any battle.
Wei Leyang's eyes widened, and he quickly took two steps forward.
" Haji Huang, what are you doing? Get back and fight it right now!!"
"I don't want it! Didn't you see it's Second Tier?" Dahuang Yellow immediately refused.
" Second Tier is Second Tier, aren't you Second Tier too?"
"It doesn't matter that I'm Second Tier, what matters is that it's the same tier as me! This is far too dangerous! No, absolutely not!"
"You Haji Huang, you piece of trash!!"
Wei Leyang, who had just been worried about Dahuang's safety, suddenly became quite exasperated.
The people around them watched the scene with a mixture of anger and amusement.
They now understood why Shen Heng had underestimated the rank of the Calamity Beast by First Tier, but unfortunately, it seemed that it hadn't made any difference.
Just as everyone was pondering what to do, Shen Heng let out a soft breath, raised his eyes, and looked at Dahuang.
"Go back!"
The sound was calm and even.
But it exploded in Dahuang's heart like a bomb, and fear instantly filled its mind.
Dahuang froze on the spot, trembling slightly.
It wanted to keep running forward, but its body and mind kept telling it that it was too dangerous ahead and it couldn't go forward.
Even if the brain knows there is no danger ahead, it doesn't matter; the body's instinct is to move forward out of fear.
"Damn it, that... great human being!"
"What happened to the saying that dogs are man's best friend?!"
Dahuang trembled as it slowly turned around.
Compared to the fear in my heart, the Calamity Beast behind me seems easier to deal with.
Seeing the Calamity Beast rapidly approaching him, Dahuang gritted his teeth and pounced.
"But I don't want it to be like this!!!"
Half an hour later.
The group returned to the Supervision Bureau.
Dahuang Yellow followed behind the group, looking dejected.
It won the battle just now, but perhaps because it was the first time it had faced an enemy of similar strength who was truly intent on killing it, it suffered several injuries.
Fortunately, none of them were very serious, and with Le Gu Nan's treatment, they recovered quickly.
But this still left Dahuang feeling down.
It has become like this.
However, no one seemed to care much.
You get used to this after a few times.
After all, what kind of member of the Supervision Bureau would only fight Calamity Beast First Tier weaker?!
Third floor restaurant.
Han Ling took a sip of hot soy milk, then turned and looked around at everyone.
She seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look at Wang Hai and smile.
"Captain, it seems like our team hasn't had breakfast together like this in ages."
"It's been a long time. After all, the day shift is different from the night shift. If we all eat breakfast at the same time, it will disturb the people on the night shift from cultivating," Wang Hai said.
"Yes, I know, I was just expressing my feelings," Han Ling said with a smile.
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and turned to look at Le Gu Nan.
"By the way, Gu Nan, is today your first day shift?"
"Yes, that's right." Le Gu Nan nodded slightly.
"You're having a bit of bad luck, getting assigned to the day shift during the Lunar New Year," Han Ling said.
"No, my family doesn't have anything planned for the New Year," Le Gu Nan said with a light laugh.
"Or I can come and keep you company when the time comes..."
Shen Heng glanced at the two people talking, then his gaze swept over the captain before he looked away again.
After the meal, Shen Heng approached the team leader again.
At this moment, Wang Hai was sitting behind his desk, preparing a report on the tasks from the previous night.
"What's wrong?" Wang Hai looked at Shen Heng as he walked in with some confusion.
"Captain, I'll take the shift on New Year's Eve this year," Shen Heng said.
Wang Hai paused in his movements.
He looked at Shen Heng, a smile appearing on his serious face, but still slowly shook his head.
"No need, this is my responsibility as the team leader."
