Beast Taming Era: I Became Groudon

Chapter 181 Departure
"Tingting, I asked my connections to help me check the matter you want to investigate. There is nothing wrong with them. They all have clean backgrounds."

"In addition, this trip to Tianshuangyuan for research was also planned by the higher-ups."

The president of the Lava City Beastmaster Association didn't let Xu Tingting wait long before calling.

"Okay, thank you, President."

"I understand. Thank you for your help, President." Xu Tingting said gratefully after listening.

"You're welcome, it's just a small matter." The president said with a smile: "But you ask this, don't tell me you want to go to Tianshuangyuan?"

"Yes, I am planning to go there." Xu Tingting nodded.

"Then you have to be careful. I heard that Tianshuangyuan is quite unstable recently. There is a super snowstorm." The president reminded.

There is nothing going on in Lava City right now. It's no problem for Tingting to go to Tianshuangyuan, but she has to be careful of the blizzard in Tianshuangyuan. The blizzard there is no joke.

"Yes, I will, President." Xu Tingting nodded when she heard that.

"That's good. I have something else to do, so I won't continue chatting with you, Tingting." The president said after hearing this and hung up the phone.

"How is it? What did the president of the Lava City Beast Tamer Association say?" Xu Jian, who was standing by, saw Xu Tingting hang up the phone and immediately came over to ask.

"The president said that there is no problem with this inspection team, and they are all people with clean backgrounds." Xu Tingting put away her phone and replied.

"That means, little sister, you agree to accompany me, right?" Xu Jian said with a smile.

"Yes." Xu Tingting nodded and said, then looked at him and said, "Brother, how strong are the members of your protection team?"

"Of course they are very strong." Xu Jian said with a smile: "Otherwise I would not be able to win them over to form a protection group."

"So what levels are their beast masters at?" Xu Tingting continued to ask.

"All of them are king-level beasts, not even a lord-level one." Xu Jian said, "Among them, there are also rare healing beasts, and each beast has different attributes. No matter what beast you encounter, there will be a beast with attributes that can restrain it."

Since it is a special protection team, the personnel allocation and the distribution of beast taming attributes must of course be well allocated.

"Is that so?" Xu Tingting nodded and said, "So what are you guys planning to do when you leave, brother?"

"Of course the sooner the better. There's a snowstorm in Tianshuangyuan right now. The later we go, the colder it will be."

"It would be bad if we ran into a pack of snow wolves then."

August and September are the warmest months in Tianshuangyuan, but after this period it will be covered with ice and snow.

During the ten months of ice and snow, the hungry beasts would prey on all the living creatures that passed by.

The later it gets, the more beastmasters will be dispatched.

"Then brother, you go back and prepare, and set off tomorrow." Xu Tingting thought for a while and said.

"Uh, so fast?" Xu Jian was stunned when he heard that. He didn't expect Xu Tingting to say that.

"Since you have decided to go, don't drag it out." Xu Tingting said, pushing Xu Jian out of the door: "Brother, go tell them quickly. They will be here very late when we are leaving tomorrow."

"Okay...ok." Xu Jian nodded after being pushed out of the house, then rode on the Flame Tiger Lord and left to tell his companions about this matter.

"Please ask if the place you are going this time is all snow? I think you can leave me in the academy." Xu Tingting was watching the Flame Tiger Lord leave when she heard the voice of the Giant Crocodile.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell, Giant Crocodile?" Xu Tingting asked with concern. The Giant Crocodile was her partner, how could she abandon her partner and go to Tianshuangyuan?
"I'm not feeling unwell anywhere. I just want to tell you that if I go to Tianshuangyuan, I will go into hibernation due to the cold weather. Not only will I be unable to help you, but I will also become a burden to you. So why don't you just let me stay in the academy." The Giant Crocodile explained. He hated cold places the most. Every time he went to such a place, he would fall asleep involuntarily.

So don't go with him again when you go to Tianshuangyuan this time.

"That won't do, Giant Crocodile." Xu Tingting said after hearing this: "We are all partners and should stay together no matter where we go. Besides, I don't know how long this trip will take. I will not feel at ease if I leave you in the academy."

"Don't worry, Giant Crocodile. Once we get to Tianshuangyuan, I won't let you out. Do you think this is okay?"

"Okay then." The giant crocodile nodded helplessly. Tingting had said so, so what should he do? He could only agree to it.

"Yeah." After Xu Tingting calmed the giant crocodile, she went to pack her winter clothes.

Although she is not very afraid of the cold winter now, she still needs to be low-key.

It's impossible that everyone is dressed like a bear, but she is wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

The next morning, Xu Tingting was still asleep when someone knocked on the door of the villa:

"Little sister, little sister. Don't sleep anymore. We should set off."

"Why so early?" Xu Tingting, who was woken up, rubbed her eyes and went downstairs and opened the door.

It’s only six o’clock and the sun hasn’t even come out yet. Why did you wake up so early?
"Because we have to work today." Xu Jian said, "Here is your breakfast. If there is no problem, we should set off now."

“The customers are still waiting for us to get through.”

"Okay." Xu Tingting took the buns and got into Xu Jian's car and went to Xu Jian's studio.

It didn't take long before they arrived at the place, in front of a store with a sign that read "Xu's Protection Corps".

"How's it going, little sister?"

"My studio's sign is nice, isn't it? I asked a calligrapher to write it."

After Xu Jian opened the car door, he said proudly to Xu Tingting.

"It's okay." Xu Tingting said weakly as she looked at the words flying like dragons and snakes in front of her.

Excuse me for being frank, but if the brother hadn't driven here, she would have thought this was some strange store.

I didn't expect that my brother would move his studio to a place like this.

"Come down, little sister. I'll take you to meet my friends. We'll be staying together for some time, so there's no harm in getting to know each other." Seeing Xu Tingting's lack of interest, Xu Jian said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xu Tingting nodded and got out of the car.

To be honest, she was really curious about who he was and how he could be fooled by her brother.

After following Xu Jian into the studio, Xu Tingting saw two men and one woman dozing off on chairs. They looked like they were suddenly woken up.

He hadn't woken up yet and was still in a daze.

"Brothers, don't sleep. We are about to start working. It's not good for you to look so sleepy." Xu Jian walked up to them and started shaking their arms.

"Brother Jian, not everyone is as energetic as you. We were very tired last night, okay?" Cheng Kemei said with a yawn.

"Yes, you suddenly told us yesterday that we would set off today, and we traveled 800 miles day and night to get back." He Ping said staggeringly, as if he was drunk.

"That's right. You woke us up so early this morning. We're lucky enough to be able to come to the studio. You don't have to be so demanding." Yuan Jinghong complained. They took the task to live a better life, not to be slaves.

If their life is like this every day, they might as well go to work in a research institute.

"Then can you at least cheer up a bit?" Xu Jian heard it, looked at Xu Tingting who was laughing at the side and said to the three people: "I was just about to introduce my sister to you, how can you introduce her like this?"

"Brother Jian, your sister?" Hearing this, the three confused people suddenly stood up as if they had received an electric shock and said to Xu Tingting:
"Beautiful lady Tingting, I have long heard of your name. I have long heard of your name."

"Yes, yes. I hope you can take good care of me on the rest of the journey."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand.

"Snapped"

Yuan Jinghong just stretched out his hand and slapped Xu Jian in the face: "A gentleman should act rather than talk, don't you know that? Why don't you sweep the floor quickly? If the guests come and see it later, it will affect the image of our studio."

"That's right, go quickly." He Ping took out his cell phone and said with a smile, "Miss Tingting, what's your phone number?"

"Why are you writing down the phone number? Go check if you have all your equipment." When Xu Jian saw it, he reached out and grabbed it and pulled it back.

These guys must have nothing better to do. He wanted them to meet his younger sister and get to know each other, not to be a matchmaker for them.

"It's just a phone call. Why are you so excited?" He Ping said unhappily and went to check his equipment.

Wasn't Xu Jian too wary of him? He just wanted a phone call, but he treated it like he had kidnapped his sister.

"Little sister, please sit down. Let me introduce you to Cheng Kemei. You can just call her Sister Mei."

"The healing beastmaster I mentioned to you yesterday is hers." After sending the two guys to work, Xu Jian introduced Cheng Kemei to Xu Tingting.

"Hello, Sister Tingting. I've heard a lot about you." Cheng Kemei said with a smile and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Sister Mei, I also hear my brother talk about you often." Xu Tingting said while shaking hands.

"You two can have a good chat here. I'll go ask when the client will arrive." Xu Jian said after checking the time.

"Okay, bro."

"Brother Jian, you go ahead."

Cheng Kemei and Xu Tingting laughed and said, and Xu Jian went to make a phone call.

"Hello, beautiful Tingting, my name is He Ping, He as in we meet everywhere, and Ping as in ordinary." When He Ping saw Xu Jian going out, he immediately came over and said.

When Yuan Jinghong saw this, he slowly moved forward and followed:

"Hello, beautiful Tingting! My name is Yuan Jinghong."

"[Hui Lian sent out a clear and happy mood, Yuan An reads and slept], Yuan is the same as Changchang, and Hong is the same as Hongyan, which means to deliver a letter."

"Nice to meet you today. Miss Tingting, where is your Groudon in the beast control space? Can I see him?"

"Yes, yes, we have only seen pictures and videos of Groudon, but have not seen the real thing with our own eyes." He Ping followed.

"Grawo is still sleeping in the beast taming space. If you want to see him, you have to wait until he wakes up." Xu Tingting said with a smile as she looked at the two people in front of her.

"Really? That's a shame."

"We are about to go to Tianshuangyuan. I am afraid we will not be able to see him there."

"Yeah, I wanted to take a picture with Groudon."

The two who heard this said with regret.

"The guests are on the way and will be here in a few minutes. Put away the prepared things, turn off all the power, and let's get ready to go." Just as they were muttering, Xu Jian walked in and said.

"Yes, Brother Jian." Hearing this, the two nodded and immediately went to turn off the power.

Xu Tingting and Cheng Kemei walked out.

Not long after, a bus stopped in front of them, and people in uniform got off the bus one after another.

"Good morning, Director Deng. Sorry to bother you so early." When Xu Jian saw the oldest middle-aged man with glasses, he immediately came up to him.

"No, no." Director Deng waved his hand and said, "I can't wait to leave. I'm almost getting weeds from staying in the office all day. The wild is where people like us should be."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Tingting and said, "This girl must be your sister, Miss Xu Tingting, right? It is true that heroes emerge young. I have heard about what happened in the National College League this time. Your Groudon is really amazing."

"No, no." Xu Tingting smiled and scratched her head and said, "It's just average, not as great as the rumors outside."

The other party praised her so much when they met, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Not bad, not bad. It's a good thing for young people to be humble."

"But being too modest won't do." Director Deng said with a smile, and turned his gaze to Xu Jian and said, "Xiao Xu, should we set off now? Or do we need to wait a while?"

"Let's go now, Director Deng." Xu Jian said, "I wonder what kind of transportation you guys are going to take, Director Deng? Are you going to take this bus?"

"Of course not. Our department is the new material and mechanical beast taming research department. How could we possibly take such a low-tech bus?" Director Deng said with a smile and waved his hand.

A burst of white light appeared, and then everyone saw a fifty-meter-long steel caterpillar and looked at the big bulges on the caterpillar's back.

Cheng Kemei felt his scalp tingling.

"This is a manned caterpillar developed by our department. It can seat fifty people at a time, and its defense is very high. It can withstand the attacks of king-level beasts."

"The most important thing is that in addition to being a vehicle, it also has strong attack capabilities and maneuverability." Director Deng said to everyone with a smile, and the rows of large bags on the back of the Iron Caterpillar opened. When Xu Jian and others saw them, they discovered that these large bags were protective covers made of special materials, and inside the protective covers were seats.

No wonder Director Deng said that this steel caterpillar is a vehicle.

"Tingting, do you think this steel caterpillar looks a little creepy?" Cheng Kemei asked. This scene made her scalp tingle.

"A little bit. I feel like it's not very good for people with trypophobia and claustrophobia." Xu Tingting said after taking a look. This steel caterpillar does have too many legs. Although I don't know what it would look like if sitting inside the seat?
But she probably wouldn't choose to ride on this steel caterpillar.

"You are right. I feel uncomfortable all over now." Hearing this, Cheng Kemei nodded and said.

"Sister Mei, you are not suffering from trypophobia, are you?" Xu Tingting asked in surprise.

"No, it's mainly because my scalp is tingling." Cheng Kemei scratched the goose bumps on his body and said, "I'd better sit in my little white duck. I'd better let others sit in high-tech vehicles like this."

"Little white duck?" Xu Tingting asked curiously, "Sister Mei, do you have flying ducks among your beasts?"

Speaking of ducks, the one that impressed her the most was the Demon Duck King. His silly look was so funny.

"Yes." Cheng Kemei nodded and said, "I have a white duck king. The duck down on his body is very soft and he can get up quickly. Why don't you take my white duck king and go with you?"

"That's not necessary, I have a flying beast." Xu Tingting smiled and said, if she sat on another flying beast, wouldn't Dark Pegasus be jealous to death?
"Like this? All right then."

"Then I will ride the flying beast myself." Cheng Kemei said, and released a big white duck. The big white duck had snow-white feathers all over its body, and it was yellow from its nose to its beak. It looked very clean and beautiful.

"What a beautiful big white duck." Xu Tingting exclaimed when she saw it. Such a beautiful big white duck is almost as beautiful as a swan.

I don't know what Sister Mei looks like. Her white feathers reflect light.

"Everyone who has seen the big white duck says this." Cheng Kemei smiled while holding the big white duck's head, and jumped onto the big white duck's back with a tip of his toes.

"Why don't you sit in the Iron Caterpillar and feel it for yourself?" Seeing that all his team members had sat in the caterpillar, Director Deng glanced at Cheng Kemei and Xu Tingting and asked with a smile.

"No, no, we two don't like staying in a sealed space."

"Yes, yes, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable all over."

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately smiled and rejected each other's kindness.

"So that's how it is? Then I won't force you." Director Deng said with a smile, then looked at Xu Jian and the other two: "Would you three like to come in and experience it for yourself?"

"Of course we want to sit here as soon as we saw it."

"Yeah, yeah, it looks like fun."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinghong and He Ping nodded repeatedly.

Under the gaze of Xu Jian and others, he sat directly into the steel caterpillar.

"It's so comfortable, as soft and warm as cotton, and it has an automatic massage function."

“Yeah, the space looks small from the outside, but you don’t feel it at all from inside.”

As soon as Yuan Jinghong sat in, he felt as if his whole body was wrapped in soft, fermented dough. Not only was it very comfortable to lie down, but there was also an electronic hand massaging under the wrap-around seat.

It is worthy of being the latest technological product, it is just different.

"Xiao Xu, why don't you come in and try it?" Director Deng asked with a smile.

"No, I still have to protect your safety outside, so I won't sit in."

Xu Jian smiled and said, if they all sit inside? Then who will be responsible for protecting their safety outside?
"Is that so? That's fine too." Director Deng said with a smile, and patted the big head of the Iron Caterpillar. The head of the Iron Caterpillar opened automatically, revealing the super control console inside. After Director Deng sat in, Director Deng's voice came from the Iron Caterpillar: "Okay, we can set off now. Xiao Xu."

"Yes, Director Deng." Xu Jian nodded and released his Fire Lizard King.

The Flame Lizard King, which evolved from the Fire Lizard, has changed a lot in appearance.

It was more like a giant dragon than a lizard. A pair of large wings had grown on its back, which was originally covered with spikes.

There was a ball of blazing fire on his head, making him look very imposing.

"Thank you for your help this time, Flame Lizard King." Xu Jian touched the Flame Lizard King's head and said, then jumped onto the Flame Lizard King's back.

"Dark Pegasus, you come out too." Seeing that everyone had released their own beasts and were ready to set off, Xu Tingting also released Dark Pegasus.

"Okay, leave it to me." Dark Pegasus was very excited. It was time for him to perform again. If it was really a long-distance raid, Tingting would still prefer to let him come out.

As for the little golden chicken, just stay in the beast taming space and rest obediently.

"Well, thank you for your help. Dark Pegasusmon." Xu Tingting said with a smile and jumped onto the back of Dark Pegasusmon.

"Is everyone ready? Let's go." Xu Jian said after looking around. The Flame Lizard King under him flapped its transparent iris wings and flew up. Seeing this, Dark Pegasus and Great White Duck immediately followed.

The flying method of the steel caterpillar is very interesting. The original pairs of steel legs slide onto the body and stretch out, turning into helicopter propellers, pulling the steel caterpillar into the sky.

"This is very different from my imagination. How can this steel caterpillar fly like this?"

Yuan Jinghong, who was sitting inside the glass cover, looked up and saw the propeller above his head spinning like a tree branch.

He thought that such advanced technology should at least be jet-powered, but it turned out to be just a helicopter structure.

"Yes, it's very different from what I imagined." He Ping said with a smile after hearing Yuan Jinghong's voice.

"When the Iron Caterpillar was first designed, we did consider using a jet takeoff method, but after careful consideration, we adopted the simpler and safer helicopter takeoff method." Director Deng, who was sitting in the main driving seat, smiled and explained, "This way, if you encounter any danger, the passenger seat you are sitting in will eject the body of the Iron Caterpillar. It's a way of escaping from its shell."

"Not only can it ensure the safety of passengers, but it can also greatly improve survival strategies."

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why high-tech products don't take this into consideration?"

"Yeah, high-tech is high-tech."

After hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized.

It turns out that the jet design is not adopted because the ejected passenger cabin can fly like a helicopter.

It is indeed a remarkable design, worthy of the Development Bureau.
