Beast Taming: My Intelligence System-Chapter 772 - 497: Ye Bai’s New Mission_2

"Still need to investigate the whereabouts of the former Kuimu Wolf and Heart Moon Fox?"

Ye Bai was speechless.

The orders from above were just like the rain in April, changing at a moment’s notice without giving any time to react.

"This doesn’t seem right."

"Didn’t it was all agreed upon that I would go and substitute for the Rooster National Pillar?"

"Honestly, I want to take a break."

Ye Bai indeed held multiple positions, and he complained to his superior, Marshal Huang Long.

"Haha, once you complete this task, I will definitely give you enough rest time."

Marshal Huang Long was nearly pounding his chest, swearing to the heavens.

"Alright then."

Marshal Huang Long heard Ye Bai’s reluctant expression and immediately widened his eyes: "You better not be ungrateful."

"The Mao Family has quite a few treasures, and that old fellow Mao Dong is famous for his hoarding habit."

"There might even be several Myriad Dragon Slashes on him."

"Right, since you’re going to the Southwest Mao Family."

"On your way back to the city, you’ll pass through some other counties where a large tomb is sealed, and the royals inside have collected many Myriad Dragon Slashes. If you’re interested, you might want to check out the large tomb."

"And while you’re at it, take out that old zombie."

Ye Bai was speechless again.

"While you’re at it."

What does "while you’re at it" mean?

An old zombie in a large tomb, anyone could guess it’s at least Tier Seven.

Although the True Light Goddess form of the Ten Thousand Changes Butterfly, and the Holy Light Shining of the Sunflower Fairy, deal great damage to old zombies.

But large tombs usually have intricate mazes and numerous traps.

If not for the Myriad Dragon Slash, Ye Bai wouldn’t want to take on such a thankless task.

Southwest Mao Family.

Zombie large tomb.

Help the Beidou Soul Artifact find a compatible user.

None of these tasks are easy.

At this point, Marshal Huang Long took out a golden token.

"Since you’re already heading to the Southwest, you might as well continue to carry out the patrol tasks."

After saying this, Marshal Huang Long dared not meet Ye Bai’s gaze, directly tossing the token into Ye Bai’s hand, and then his figure vanished from the spot.

Ye Bai was both angry and amused.

"Well, they’re really milking me alone."

"Fine, since you’ve given me the patrol task, I won’t be doing myself justice unless I make a big stir."

Southwest Mao Family.

The Mao Family has a dedicated Corpse City.

Here, coffins made of parasol wood are placed everywhere, and many zombies with yellow talismans attached are busy working.

Apart from their stiff bodies, sallow complexion, and elongated fingertips, they are not much different from normal people.

To get rid of the corpse smell, the Mao Family even specially developed a zombie ancient dragon water.

The attire of these zombies varies greatly, as the Mao Family loves to excavate large tombs, especially ancient ones.

At this moment, Mao Shiba, the builder of Corpse City, was standing up from a golden rattan wood coffin.

He was wearing a dragon robe with yellow talismans affixed to it, his body not much different from a normal person’s, except for the clicking sound his joints made when moving.

A group of Mao Family members watched as Mao Shiba hopped past them and landed on the throne made of pure gold.

"Speak, why have you awakened me from my slumber? What’s going on?"

"Didn’t I say, this is a crucial moment for me? Do not disturb me unless absolutely necessary!!!"

A soul-shaking voice emanated from Mao Shiba’s soul.

Everyone felt an overwhelming pressure like a mountain, quickly bowing, "Congratulations, Great Ancestor, on your progress and eternal longevity."

"Alright, alright, stop with the flattery, just tell me what’s the matter."

"Why did you urgently awaken me?"

At this moment, the Patriarch of the Mao Family hurriedly said, "Great Ancestor, I’m your great-great-great-grandson, Mao Ershiba."

"We have received intelligence that they’re preparing to send a patrol team to collect evidence of our family’s crimes and prepare to take action against us."

"Great Ancestor, should we strike first to gain the upper hand?"

Mao Shiba glared sharply at the Mao Family Patriarch.

"Has your brain been eaten by zombies?"

"How could you ask such a foolish question?"

"The patrol team operates under supreme orders, and if we mess with its members, we’re not afraid of drawing the attention of the Marshals?"

"Don’t just talk about sending in the Marshals, even deploying any one of the Twelve Pillars of the Country could flatten our entire Corpse City."

"I could escape with the corpses of your ancestors, or turn you into zombies and leave."

"However, the roots of our Mao Family are in Corpse City, and our ancestral tombs are here too."

"So, we won’t leave here easily."

"Besides, members of the patrol team are at least Tier Seven strong. Unless I personally take action, none of you could match them."

"For now, hide any evidence of our crimes and keep a low profile during this period."

"If I find anyone holding us back, I’ll personally turn them into a zombie slave."

"Then your consciousness will be trapped in a zombie’s body, neither able to live nor die."

This patrol task doesn’t have many demands.

So Ye Bai used the excuse of testing Lan Fa and Yun Luo’s abilities to forcefully team up.

If one child suffers, all should share the burden; Ye Bai would be pleased if the pain were equally distributed among everyone.

Feel the pain of the world.

Feel the malice of the world.

But Yun Luo and Lan Fa’s expressions were quite indifferent, as they were still unaware of what awaited them.

"Lan Fa, Yun Luo."

"This time I’m giving you a task to develop your talents."

"Marshal Huang Long thinks highly of you, let’s see how I can help your talents awaken."

However, truly, only one person’s talent was to be awakened—Lan Fa.

Yun Luo’s innate talent is supreme, her words create reality; it’s already the highest-level talent.

Once Yun Luo’s physical strength increases, her talent can be fully unleashed.

"Yun Luo, these are potions I’ve prepared for you, one bottle each day."

"Gradually, the factors restricting your talent will disappear."

"Lan Fa, if you want to awaken your talent, you’ll need to work even harder."

"You know what I mean."

"You must keep copying Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the more advanced ones, to fully awaken your talent."

"Do you understand what I’m saying?"

"As for Crystal Cores, you don’t need to worry, I have many low-tier ones here that can completely transform into your power."

"If your talents fully awaken, the Marshals will summon you personally."

At this moment, the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade suddenly emerged from the Beast Taming Space.

A bead-like abacus appeared, suddenly attaching itself to Lan Fa.

"Ye Bai, what’s this?"

Lan Fa couldn’t help but feel it, hearing the sound of abacus beads clicking.

"This is the Lu Cun Abacus."

"The Soul Artifact of the Beidou Seven Stars, Lu Cun Star."

"Who would’ve thought you are a compatible user for Lu Cun Star, why was there no reaction from the Lu Cun Abacus before?"

Back then, Lan Fa was also beside Yun Luo, and the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade had appeared, but there was no reaction from the Lu Cun Abacus.

So what was the problem?

Ye Bai thought, if the issue could be identified.

Finding compatible users for the remaining four Soul Artifacts would be simple.

"Lan Fa, have you experienced any changes recently?"

Ye Bai curiously asked.

"Changes, there might be?"

"I’ve advanced to Tier Seven, does that count as a change?"

Lan Fa curiously asked.

Indeed, based on the scene when the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade contracted with me initially.

The usage condition for the seven Soul Artifacts of the Beidou Seven Stars, is that one must reach Tier Seven.

And since Lan Fa has reached Tier Seven, the Lu Cun Abacus appeared on its own.

No wonder the Soul Artifacts couldn’t find compatible users before; turns out they weren’t skilled enough.

Ye Bai quickly shared this discovery with Marshal Huang Long, stating that he’d found another suitable candidate.

And that person is Lan Fa.
