Picking Up a Bargain

Zhang Xuezhou still remembers being intercepted by Montes Steel after hunting the toucan.

Even without identifying the ferocious beast, Badun intercepted Zhou Xin.

He never imagined that fortunes would turn around, and that Badun would one day be intercepted, and even more surprisingly, that Ren Yisheng would successfully intercept him.

After riding their two-wheeled vehicles for more than two hours in the Qinling Mountains, they began their return journey.

If they were a little faster, they could catch up with the previous ship and then charter it to meet up with the ocean-going freighter.

This trip was not in their budget. Zhang Xuezhou and his group came to Qinmeng lightly equipped, without considering hunting ferocious beasts, but since the beasts had come to them, they had to take them.

"We can't let our guard down, we have to be careful!"

"Badun has mastered the power of metal; he can trap us inside the truck for a short time. Once we're in that situation, it'll be very difficult for us to break out!"

"We should maintain a distance of at least 400 meters from him!"

"Badun actually stole the off-road combat vehicle that just joined Qin Meng's team. Looks like he's in a bad mood right now!"

Driving his dilapidated truck, Ren Yisheng was extremely vigilant, constantly keeping watch to prevent Badun from launching a surprise attack.

Occasionally, he would exchange a few words with Zhang Xuezhou, who was guarding the ferocious beast.

Unlike Badun's method of imprisoning the ferocious beast by using electric stimulation, Ren Yisheng and Zhang Xuezhou's method was to beat the beast half to death and then use the Supreme Purity True Technique to forcibly heal and extract its body.

After undergoing this forced healing treatment, the ferocious beast will fall into a state of extreme weakness.

Zhang Xuezhou examined the giant ape, which was nearly ten meters long, and felt that the giant ape seemed familiar.

Hu Hao has a giant ape beast under his command that can also transform into a tiger cub. It is extremely brave in battle, able to grab stones weighing hundreds or thousands of pounds and throw them violently, and can also use its small form to launch close-range attacks.

At this time, the giant ape had not transformed and did not have any tiger fur, so it did not look exactly the same.

Zhang Xuezhou determined that the similarity was greater because of the limited number of ferocious beasts around Huli Port; it was rare for two giant ape-like ferocious beasts to appear in the surrounding thousand-mile area.

Where's your hairless tiger brother?

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't just rambling on; he also tried the "Beast Control Technique" to take advantage of the beast's weakness.

Perhaps due to the beast's resistance layer, Zhang Xuezhou's Technique Method repeatedly failed, even when the giant ape was already extremely weak.

This situation is not surprising. It's not just the Beast Taming Sect's trump card technique that behaves this way when encountering higher beings; most Technique Method are no different.

If Technique Method do not keep up with their cultivation level, poor Technique Method will not only lack control but also have weak offensive capabilities, only effective when bullying lower-level cultivators.

The Sacred Land contains many long-lived great cultivators, but these cultivators also possess only three basic skills and do not have countless Technique Method for fighting enemies, for the same reason.

If the Technique Method Spirit Transformation is mediocre, it might even be considered a failure in cultivation.

Zhang Xuezhou, having entered the Divine Ability Realm, had mastered the Grain Avoidance Instruction in one world and the Poison Avoidance Technique in another. He was considered a useless cultivator by some mediocre cultivators.

It's normal that his Technique Method can't keep up with the demands of his current level; even the most Technique Method of the Beast Taming Sect can't meet his current needs.

Zhang Xuezhou would chant the mantra from time to time, and occasionally perform a spell once or twice.

Besides trying his luck, he also wanted to hone his Technique Method and see if he could transform into a high-level technique like the Cloud Soaring Technique and the Supreme Purity True Technique.

"Haha, Ren Yisheng, thank you so much for driving the vehicle to this temporary port!"

Zhang Xuezhou tested repeatedly without success. When he heard Badun's voice from afar, he quickly jumped off the truck.

A volley of bullets flew in, accompanied by the dull thud of bullets piercing through the air, as Ren Yisheng roared and jumped out of the car to move forward.

"Everyone, keep at least two hundred meters away!"

Despite his wild laughter, Badun was not lacking in caution.

The vehicle navigated through the mud and finally stopped about 300 meters from this temporary port.

As long as one remains on the land of Qinmeng and boards a ship, everything is governed by the rule that the strong rule in Qinmeng.

It's not surprising that Badun invited others to help him turn the tables. The Aomeijia Alliance is the closest country to the Qin Meng region, and it's most likely that they can send high- Sequence Holder to fill the gaps and provide assistance.

Zhang Xuezhou flipped over, only to see Montes Arthur's team joining in the commotion.

After their hasty trip to the Scarlet Alliance State, Montes Arthur and his group underwent treatment and negotiations before quickly joining Qin Mengzhong, their timelines closely following those of Zhang Xuezhou and his group.

"You were the ones who intercepted Lord Badun?"

Montes Arthur and the others dispersed and surrounded Ren Yisheng while running in small increments. Suddenly, they saw Ren Yisheng slowly pulling down his windproof mask, which made his heart leap.

"Badun, I only need one sprint, and these guys will either go crazy or die," Ren Yisheng exhaled and said, "Are you still stubbornly betting that they can buy you time to set up your strategy?"

"Ren Yisheng, you've gone too far!"

Badun stood at the temporary port landing point.

When Ren Yisheng saw through his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Those Sequence Holder mental combat techniques are never afraid of being ganged up on by lower- Sequence Holder," Ren Yisheng said calmly. "My sequence development is different from yours. You can see I'm traveling alone; you should understand what that means. I suggest you don't do anything foolish, after all, I really can kill Arthur!"

"Go to hell!"

Badun continued to hurl insults.

Those Sequence Holder are worse off than dogs; for example, Montes Arthur in the Sixth Sequence is quite frustrated.

However, Ren Yisheng, as a master of the Eighth Sequence sequence, completely deviates from the normal range.

Badun was surrounded by Zhou Xin, Changkong Luo and others, which forced him to be restrained. However, Ren Yisheng was completely unreasonable and could even fight him head-on.

Those who survive the mental piercing blow will live, while those who cannot will die. The overwhelming power of the mental combat technique's sequence rules is terrifying and difficult to test with human lives.

Whether Ren Yisheng can control or influence himself is unknown, but he should have no problem overwhelming Montes Arthur and others in the Sixth Sequence.

Badun's reinforcements have arrived, but the chances of them being wiped out are very high.

He cursed repeatedly, but in his heart he hesitated and found it difficult to decide whether to fight back.

"Professor Ren, we've met before, and we're even exchanging resources related to ferocious beasts with your country. There's no need for this life-or-death struggle. How about we each make some concessions?" Montes Arthur exclaimed.

"What exchange? What concessions?" Badun uttered.

"Your Excellency Badun, you may not know this, but the Scarlet Alliance State can currently exchange resources from seven kinds of ferocious beasts. We are currently in a mutually beneficial phase!"

Montes Arthur quickly offered a reminder.

A trip to the Scarlet Alliance State shattered his worldview, as Montes Arthur witnessed the variety of live ferocious beasts available in various laboratories.

The Scarlet Alliance State has no qualms about trading with other countries, Aomeijia Alliance will be excluded if it doesn't trade. The choice between mutual benefit and isolation is not difficult.

Even though the Omega Alliance Council lacked Badun's approval, Montespatton still overruled objections and signed the contract.

"Where did they get seven ferocious beasts from?" Badun asked incredulously.

"I personally witnessed live specimens of ferocious beasts like the giant deer, the one-horned rhinoceros, the tiger, the eight-legged spider, the giant eagle, the white elephant, and the toucan in the Scarlet Alliance State," Montes Arthur whispered, reminding us, "Three of these are very important to us, and I think we need to take a gamble!"

"Should we bet on them becoming the Seventh Sequence Seventh Sequence, or on us?"

Badun asked in doubt, while Montes Arthur nodded repeatedly.

This left Badun with a mixture of emotions.

Montes Arthur is unqualified as Sequence Holder, but undoubtedly extremely qualified as a decision-maker.

The Scarlet Alliance State might achieve becoming Seventh Sequence individual by obtaining the beast extract, or they might fail; the same applies to the Aomeijia Alliance.

Both sides are betting on their own self-interest, and Badun is willing to accept this kind of bet.

But he really couldn't understand how the Scarlet Alliance State suddenly had so many ferocious beasts.

As if they had just received a shipment from Qin Meng, the living ferocious beasts of the Scarlet Alliance State experienced a massive outbreak.

"Did they manage to get a bargain over there?"

If one had to find a reason, Badun would lean towards the Scarlet Alliance State just happened to be lucky enough to encounter a group of ferocious beasts in battle, thus reaping a huge advantage.
