Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 52 Langlang Mountain

This challenge isn’t hard to fulfill; the challenge only requires Chen Mo to spend half of his day eating, without stating what to eat or how fast to eat.

As long as he keeps "eating," that’s sufficient. Chen Mo’s Heart of the Sea is stocked with plenty of snacks and biscuits, perfect for this occasion!

However, while this entry’s challenge is easy to complete, its effectiveness isn’t that strong either.

After equipping [Gluttony], Chen Mo or his Spiritual Beast can gain energy by eating dirt.

It’s essential for surviving in the wild, but practically, it’s quite useless.

Chen Mo plans to dismantle it afterward to recreate the [Insane Spice] entry, quickly enhancing Xiao Jiu’s fire element cultivation talent.

After waking up, Chen Mo, accompanied by two Spiritual Beasts, snagged a feast at the cafeteria before heading straight to the equipment department in Building 1.

Yesterday, Liu Guo’an informed them they’d be meeting at the equipment department in the morning.

When Chen Mo arrived at the equipment department, he found Liu Guo’an and Yun Shu already geared up, while the other two had yet to arrive.

Yun Shu handed Chen Mo a set of combat clothes and a silvery handgun with a metallic sheen.

"I got you a set too. If it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it."

"Thanks."

Chen Mo accepted the combat suit and the Spiritual Pistol.

This combat suit was also developed by the Research Department, utilizing new materials; it’s lightweight yet possesses strong protective abilities, with a belt carrying three gems storing different moves.

These three moves are Grass and Wood Cage, Profound Ice Arrow, and Rock Armor, all mid-level skills with formidable strength, serving purposes of trapping, attacking, and defending.

Donning this combat suit, coupled with the gun equipped with Spiritual Bullets, a Spirit Master can unleash the prowess of an Extraordinary Rank Spiritual Beast.

Chen Mo toyed with the Spiritual Energy Gun in his hand, feeling a bit excited.

What boy wouldn’t dream of owning a cool gun?

Shortly, Cao Pengyu and Qing Shiweng arrived too.

"Our mission’s destination is Golden City, the closest large city to our company. We need to deliver supplies to City Lord Zhou Hong and transport the listed goods back."

Liu Guo’an began to explain.

The so-called "cargo" consists of eight Spiritual Beasts of varying shapes: three young Griffons, two Stonemen, two Moon Howler Wolves, and a Tulip Sprite, all unique to the West Continent.

These ordinarily common Spiritual Beasts from the West Continent can fetch exorbitant prices in the Eastern Continent.

After all, rarity brings value.

The East and West Continents of the Spirit Realm aren’t connected. Hongmeng Company utilizes Blue Star as this "transit point," selling ordinary Spiritual Beasts in Golden City for sky-high prices and purchasing common spiritual materials, resources, and Spiritual Beasts there to sell them on Blue Star at similarly high prices.

Profiting from price differences on both sides.

Of course, it’s not just Hongmeng Company.

The Spirit Control Bureau and every major group or organization that controls an entrance to the Spirit Realm are engaging in similar activities.

It’s somewhat like trading in another world, albeit nationwide.

At this moment, these eight Spiritual Beasts are stored in a Space Stone, carried by the team leader Liu Guo’an.

Additionally, some assorted equipment and supplies are also stored within space devices.

"Let’s move out!"

Once everything was ready, Liu Guo’an called out, and the Thunder Team officially set off!

Yun Shu summoned a Wave Stepping Colt of the Awakened 9th Rank, her second Spiritual Beast.

Despite its name containing "wave," the Wave Stepping Colt is not a Water Element Spiritual Beast but a genuine Electric Type Spiritual Beast.

Its name comes from its rapid speed that allows it to run over water.

Currently, in the Thunder Team, only Yun Shu and Liu Guo’an have contracted a second Spiritual Beast; Liu Guo’an’s other Spiritual Beast is an Extraordinary Rank 8 Thunder Armor Rhinoceros.

The Thunder Armor Rhinoceros, similar in size to a regular elephant, has a lightning horn above its nose showing a somewhat translucent deep purple color. Observing closely, one can see arcs of electricity flickering inside. Besides the Crystal Core, this lightning horn can also store a significant amount of Electric Spiritual Power, greatly enhancing the Thunder Armor Rhinoceros’s continuous combat capability.

Yun Shu and Qing Shiwen rode together on the Wave Stepping Colt, while Chen Mo sat on Liu Guo’an’s Thunder Armor Rhinoceros. Meanwhile, Cao Pengyu was perched on the shoulder of the Vajra Stone Ape.

The Vajra Stone Ape is a large, upright-walking ape-like Spiritual Beast, its body covered in yellow fur, while its limbs and chest have rock-like gray hard substances.

"Don’t worry, the strong Spiritual Beasts along this route have been cleared by our Minister before. Barring any surprises, there shouldn’t be any surprises."

Observing Chen Mo’s silence, Yun Shu thought he was anxious and smiled to comfort him.

Hearing this, Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

Sister Yun Shu, what kind of nonsensical line is that, and why raise a flag for yourself out of nowhere?

Barring any surprises, it seems like a surprise is about to happen.

After setting off, Cao Pengyu sat on the Vajra Stone Ape’s shoulder, equipped with tactical glasses. These glasses connect to a small drone, capable of detecting activities within a kilometer radius.

"Quite the professional team."

Chen Mo mused silently.

How could a wild Spirit Master possibly possess such luxurious equipment?

The team proceeded without encountering danger for nearly half a day.

As Yun Shu mentioned, the areas surrounding Hongmeng Company have been thoroughly cleared long ago.

During this time, the [Food Hunter] gene within Chen Mo pulsed twice, indicating the presence of excellent ingredients nearby, yet Chen Mo refrained from taking action.

After all, it’s a team operation, and they’re amidst a delivery mission.

"I’ll harvest some next time when I come alone!"

Soon, the team arrived at the foot of a slightly challenging mountain, Liu Guo’an said with a smile:

"Up ahead is Langlang Mountain, seems like this month’s protection fee hasn’t been collected yet."

Langlang Mountain is the territory of the Thunder Teeth Wolf King. Besides possessing Leader 9-stage immense strength, this Wolf King is also quite wise, having learned the human practice of seizing control over a mountain, requiring any passing humans or Spiritual Beasts to pay a protection fee for passage.

Three years ago, during Hongmeng Company’s initial exploration of this secret realm, several teams suffered losses at the hands of the Wolf King due to ignorance of Langlang Mountain’s rules.

Later, the Special Service Minister intervened personally, having a "thorough discussion" with the Thunder Teeth Wolf King, ultimately subduing the Wolf King and convincing it to relinquish its protection fee demands.

Moreover, the dynamics flipped; the Thunder Teeth Wolf King now pays Hongmeng Company a protection fee every month, amounting to 100 pieces of Thunder Iron Ore.

"Strange, why isn’t there even a single wolf pup in sight?"

At this moment, Cao Pengyu, observing through the drone, expressed puzzlement.

Previous visits to Langlang Mountain would always involve encountering some Thunder Teeth Wolves on patrol, yet this time the place seemed entirely deserted, with not a single wolf in sight.

"Something might be up ahead, stay vigilant!"

Liu Guo’an reminded.

The group continued forward, each on high alert.

"Awoo~"

"Awoo~"

While passing a particular cave, a series of howling sounds resonated around them.
