Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 379 In-depth Governance

Chapter 379

"I need to expand the scope of the experiment," I repeated, my tone more determined. "The previous small-scale trials have shown initial success; now we need more samples to gain a deeper understanding of this anomaly and ultimately find a complete solution."

The strategist snorted coldly and stepped forward. "Expand the scope? Nong Yu, what guarantees the safety of the other beast tamers? Your previous experiments, although they controlled the mutation, left those beast tamers weak and unable to even summon their contracted beasts! You're gambling with their lives!"

His sharp questioning caused a stir among those around him, and even the few beast tamers who had initially been willing to try began to hesitate. I took a deep breath, trying to suppress my frustration. "I know there are risks," I said frankly, "but if we don't continue our research, we'll never find a solution. Are we just going to stand by and watch more and more beast tamers suffer from this anomaly?"

I looked at Su Yao, who had been standing silently beside me, offering her unspoken support. She nodded slightly, took my hand, and a warm current flowed through my body. I turned to look at my contracted beast, a pure white spirit fox, which was looking at me with a pair of intelligent eyes, its tail swaying gently, as if to say: Don't worry, I believe in you.

“My contracted beast, Xiaobai, can sense the source of the mutation and can help me stabilize the energy fluctuations of the mutation.” I pointed to Xiaobai and said, “It is my greatest protection.”

The strategist glanced at Little White with disdain. "A mere spirit fox? What use could it be? Nong Yu, are you trying to fool us?"

Before I could retort, Little White suddenly let out a clear cry, and a soft white light emanated from its body, enveloping the beast tamer who was still locked in combat with Su Yao. A shocking scene unfolded: the beast tamer's previously frenzied aura gradually subsided, his pained expression eased, and the bloodshot in his eyes slowly faded.

Everyone present stared in disbelief at the scene, even the strategist Jinlu, who had always looked down on me, showed a surprised expression.

I pressed my advantage and emphasized again: "See? My method is effective! We need more time and more samples to completely solve this problem!"

With Xiaobai's help, I began to provide stabilizing treatment for more mutated beast tamers. One, two, three... more and more beast tamers were freed from their pain, and the light of hope rekindled in their eyes.

Seeing this, the previously hesitant beast tamers stepped forward, expressing their willingness to participate in my experiment. My heart was filled with hope, and I felt that I was getting closer and closer to final victory.

However, just when I thought everything was going well, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd. Several agitated middle-aged men rushed in, pointing at me and shouting loudly…

I was basking in the joy of success when several excited middle-aged men suddenly burst in, shattering the brief tranquility. Pointing at me, they shouted hoarsely, “Liar! You’re a liar! My son/husband/brother became even weaker after treatment here! You’re just experimenting on our loved ones!”

Their shouts were like a bomb, instantly igniting the emotions on the scene. The beast tamers, who had just calmed down, began to stir again, and those who were willing to participate in the experiment began to hesitate. Fear, doubt, anger—all sorts of negative emotions spread through the crowd, like a giant net, tightly binding me.

"Quiet! Please be quiet!" I tried to control the situation, but my voice was drowned out by the noisy shouts.

At that moment, Su Yao stood in front of me. Her tall figure stood out in the crowd. The curves of her hips, outlined by her tight-fitting clothes, still exuded an indescribable charm, even in this tense atmosphere. She took a deep breath and said in a clear and powerful voice, "Trust him, he's saving everyone!"

Her voice pierced through the noise of the crowd, reaching everyone's ears. My heart was filled with gratitude; Su Yao always gave me support and strength when I needed it most.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. I knew this was not the time to back down; I had to convince these families and make them believe in me.

“I know your concerns,” I said to the agitated family members. “The reason your loved ones are showing signs of weakness after treatment is because the mutated energy has not been completely cleared. It’s like an illness; it takes time to recover. My method is effective, it just takes time.”

I pointed to the beast tamers who had stabilized, "Look at them, they have recovered from the pain of the mutation and are gradually getting better. Please believe me, give me more time, and I will definitely find a complete solution!"

My words seemed to have some effect; the family members' shouts gradually subsided, but their faces were still full of doubt and unease.

I continued, "I know that empty words are meaningless and won't convince anyone. Here's what I'll do: I'm willing to stake my life on this. If my method ultimately fails to solve the mutation problem, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"

My words resonated deeply, causing a stir among the crowd. My determination and commitment seemed to have moved them, and their eyes began to waver.

Just then, the strategist Jinlu stepped forward again, sneering, "Nong Yu, you're gambling! What are you betting with? Your life? What's your life worth?"

His words reignited the anger of the family members, who began shouting again, and the scene became chaotic once more.

Looking at this chaotic situation, I was filled with helplessness and anxiety. What should I do? How can I convince them and get them to believe me?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind. I turned to look at Little White, who was looking at me with a pair of intelligent eyes, its tail wagging gently, as if to encourage me.

A thought suddenly struck me, and a bold idea took shape in my mind.

"Ladies and gentlemen," I began again, my voice firm and resolute, "I know my words may not be enough to convince you. So let me prove you with my actions!"

I walked up to the most emotional family member and said, "Let me heal your loved one. If my methods are ineffective, I am willing..." I paused, my eyes becoming incredibly resolute, "...I am willing to give up my beast-taming abilities!"

My words shocked everyone present. For a beast tamer, giving up the ability to control beasts was tantamount to giving up their life. My resolve finally silenced everyone.

I took a deep breath and looked at Su Yao; she gave me an encouraging look. I walked up to the family member and extended my hand…

"let's start……"
