Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 122 New Year’s Arrival

"Let Xu Tingting join the Beast Tamer Association, and then I can control the volcano from now on. Are you serious?" Hearing this, Zhong Cong stared at the president riding on the flaming warhorse with a strange expression.

Excuse me for being frank, but if the other party really lets him go, he will build a small volcano every ten days, a big volcano every month, and a super-large volcano every two months. Within half a year, he will extinguish all the smoking volcanoes in the entire Lava City.

At that time, Lava City can directly change its name to "Black Mountain City". As for why the name should be changed?

Because there was nothing to be seen in the entire city except the black volcanic ash.

"How's it going? Groudon."

"Are you tempted by this condition? If so, remember to tell your beastmaster." The president didn't notice Zhong Cong's strange look at all, but just spoke to himself.

As long as Groudon's Beastmaster joins the Beastmaster Association, they will have a choice of Beastmaster to fight against this year.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about ranking issues.

The most important thing is that Groudon is so powerful that their association doesn’t have to pay any price at all, and Groudon can directly participate in the competition.

The president, who was calculating abacus a lot, never thought about one thing: free things are often the most expensive.

Although I don't know what the president is thinking, but listening to the excitement in his tone,

Zhong Cong was speechless. It seemed that the president wanted him to join, right? He was afraid that after he joined, the president would have to cover himself with more quilts when sleeping, so that his crying would not be heard by others.

"Grawoman finally came out of the magma. That's great. I thought you wouldn't be able to make it to the New Year." Just when Zhong Cong was speechless, Li Pixue's surprised voice came.

He said happily as he looked at Zhong Cong who had grown taller.

Groudon has become much stronger after not seeing him for such a long time.

"The New Year is coming so soon?" Zhong Cong was stunned when he heard this. He wondered why the volcano was so deserted now. He thought it was because the volcano was extinct.

Now it seems that the New Year is approaching, no wonder all the people have left.

"Yes, Groudon." Li Pixue said with a smile, "Let's go back to school quickly. The teachers must be waiting anxiously."

"Oh." Zhong Cong nodded when he heard that, and then walked from the president's side towards Li Pixue.

Li Pixue greeted the president: "President, Happy New Year."

"Well, Happy New Year." The president smiled and said to Zhong Cong who was walking towards Li Pixue, "Grawo, don't forget what I told you."

"oh oh"

Hearing this, Zhong Cong waved his paws and walked away.

After saying goodbye to the president, Li Pixue saw him and curiously chased after him and asked, "Grawo, what did the president tell you?"

"He asked me to ask Tingting if she was willing to join the Beast Tamer Association. He said that as long as Tingting was willing to join, I could come to the Beast Tamer Association's Volcano anytime in the future." Zhong Cong said truthfully and had no intention of hiding it. After all, this kind of thing was not something that could be exposed to the public, so it was no big deal to tell it out.

"Uh." Li Pixue was stunned when he heard this and said, "Is the president stupid? He actually invited you to join the Beast Tamer Association. Isn't he afraid that if the association takes a fancy to a volcano in the future, you will suck it dry?"

It is unacceptable for the president of an association to do such a thing as inviting a wolf into the house.

He was not afraid that the association would suffer so much losses that it would not even have enough money to wear.

"Who knows?" Zhong Cong shrugged and then looked at Li Pixue in astonishment: "How do you know that I drained the volcano?"

He didn't remember telling anyone that he could absorb magma energy. He had always claimed that he was practicing in the magma. How did the other party know that the extinction of the volcano was related to him?
"Others may not know this, but how can my teacher and I not know?" Li Pixue, who heard Zhong Cong admit it with his own ears, said, "Every time you practice in the magma, your strength will increase very quickly, and every time you practice in the volcano, it will either go out or die. If you think about this, you can find clues."

Since arriving a few days ago, he heard the news that the volcano was going to go out, so he went back and told his teacher his guess.

The teacher retrieved the data of Groudon from previous times. After comparison and combining it with the fact that Groudon could survive in the volcano, they guessed that the extinction of the volcano was most likely related to Groudon.

After all, creatures living in volcanoes must eat, right? And what can Groudon eat in a volcano? Nothing but magma.

So, if Groudon consumes all the energy of the volcano, won’t the volcano go out?

"Well, now that you know."

"Then don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, if they find out that the volcano was drained dry by me, they will probably cause trouble for me." Since the professor and the others already know, there is nothing that can be done.

Zhong Cong now just hopes that the professor won’t write everything out, otherwise he will be in trouble.

"Don't worry, the teacher will keep it a secret for you." Li Pixue said with a smile: "After all, thanks to you, the teacher is now a popular breeder in the country. Yesterday, another news agency came to interview the teacher."

"Really? So Tingting can walk around now?" Zhong Cong was not very interested in the professor's interview. He was more concerned about whether Tingting could walk around everywhere?

"Not yet. Tingting's bounty on the overseas black market is still 300 million. Although the country has stopped most bounty hunters, there are still a few active in the country." Li Pixue shook his head and said, "Wait until the fourth month, when no one can take Tingting's bounty and the bounty is canceled, then she can move freely."

There is an unwritten rule for black market bounties, which is that if no one completes the bounty within 4 months after it is issued, it will be deemed that the bounty cannot be completed and will be removed from the black market.

In this way, the reward money is gone and Tingting can leave school.

Although assassins from other countries would still assassinate Tingting even without the black market bounty.

But compared to the overwhelming bounty hunters, the number of these assassins is still very small, and they have Groudon around.

There shouldn't be any problem with safety.

"Well, it still takes that long." Zhong Cong was speechless after hearing this. It is true that when you are famous, you will be surrounded by gossip.

I hope this month or so will pass quickly.

Zhong Cong finished muttering, looked at the empty volcano entrance and said, "By the way, didn't you drive to pick me up?"

"No, didn't you see that big truck scrapped last time?" said Li Pixue who was riding on the Flame Armor Rhinoceros.

"What about the Fire Dragon King? He should be able to take me back, right?" Zhong Cong said.

Since there is no car, there must be a beast tamer, right?
"The Fire Dragon King is Teacher Li's beast. We borrowed him last time." Li Pixue said.

"Then the professor has no other large beasts." Zhong Cong was speechless when he heard this.

Professor Wang is an expert in beast breeding after all. Isn't there any large beast that can be used to transport goods?
"Really not, because teachers help others to breed beasts, but they have very few of their own." Li Pixue replied.

Ever since the news that Groudon was bred by the teacher spread, their research institute has been packed with guests.

"Okay, do you have a bigger beast?" Hearing this, Groudon looked at the Flame Armored Rhinoceros that Li Pixue was riding and spoke.

Although this little rhino is not small, it is not big either. If he sits on it, it probably won’t be able to bear his weight. I wonder if the other party has other beasts?
The Flame-Armored Rhinoceros that was being stared at by Zhong Cong was so frightened that he started shaking all over. He was just a small rhinoceros three meters tall and six meters long. He couldn't bear the opponent's weight at all. The opponent didn't want to look at him.

"The little rhino is already the largest beast I have at the moment. There is really no bigger one." Li Pixue shook his head and his hand couldn't help but soothe the sitting Flame-Armored Rhino.

"Well, it looks like I have to walk back by myself." Zhong Cong said speechlessly, and walked towards the school.

When he gets the chance in the future, he will definitely recruit a larger beast to be his younger brother, so that he won’t have to go on long journeys by himself. Who knows where to find a stronger beast?

The man and two beasts walked on the road for half a day and finally returned to school before dark. Looking at the detached villa in front of him, Zhong Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As expected, walking is slow relying on two short legs. When Xu Tingting is able to leave school, she must immediately go find a tool boy.

"Grawo, you've grown a lot." Xu Tingting raised her head and said to Zhong Cong, and began to surround Zhong Cong to observe his changes.

"Yes, but there is bad news."

"The volcano I was practicing on has gone out again. I don't know where to go to practice after the New Year?" Zhong Cong muttered.

"It's okay, Groudon."

"We'll just find a volcano when the time comes." Xu Tingting said with a smile, and opened the door of a container nearby. A pile of materials fell out of it with a "dong dong" sound: "Grador, this is a New Year's gift prepared for you by the principal, professor, and Professor Wang."

"Really? That's the best news I've heard today." Groudon walked to the container, grabbed a piece of material and chewed on it and said.

"Happy New Year, Groudon! I'm counting on you for the new year as always."

Xu Jian said with a smile and walked out of the villa.

"Oh." Zhong Cong looked at Xu Jian and nodded while chewing the ingredients.

"Grador, do you like the materials we prepared for you?" The principal said with a smile, "In the new year, we will continue to trouble you to bring more glory to the school."

"Groud has already brought honor to the school, so just treat him to a good New Year's Eve dinner." Professor Wang looked at Zhong Cong and smiled, and asked everyone to move the table out of the villa and prepare to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

When Zhong Cong saw this, he opened his mouth and spit out a molten ball into the sky.

After the molten lava ball flew into the sky, it immediately exploded into brilliant fireworks, illuminating the teacher's dormitory area below.

When Xu Tingting and others saw it, they couldn't help but look up at the sky, looking forward to the new year.
