"Hey, Commander Zhao, when exactly are we leaving for Beiyuan Province? We’ll still need to prepare once we get there, right? Won’t it be too late if we don’t go soon?"
Su Ping rested his chin in his hand, feeling helpless as he spoke on the phone.
He glanced at the ti again.
March 11th.
Half a month had passed since Master Zhu Hong left, which brought them to the agreed-upon ti.
However, Su Ping had already ntioned this to Zhao Deguang five days ago. Yet for the past few days, the legion commander seed to be very busy and kept saying there was no rush.
Finally, it was already mid-March.
Su Ping couldn’t help being anxious.
Seemingly aware of Su Ping’s dissatisfaction, Zhao Deguang’s weary voice ca reluctantly from the other end of the line:
"Su Ping, sorry, but I might not be able to go with you to Beiyuan anymore. The agreed-upon ti with Beiyuan is March 16th, so we still have five days. I really can’t make the ti in these five days. I’ve already given you my recomndation letter. Could you perhaps go on your own?"
When a legion commander made such a request, Su Ping’s helplessness and frustration had to dissipate. Besides, he knew that Zhao wasn’t one to flake out. Su Ping slightly furrowed his brows and said, "Commander Zhao, is the Legion especially busy lately?"
He was genuinely unaware, as he himself had been very busy as well.
From the other end of the line, Zhao Deguang’s voice ca again, laden with fatigue: "Yeah, sothing has co up recently. Damn it, we’re not sure what’s going on yet. A significant number of Ferocious Beasts have appeared at the outlet of West Dragon Lake towards the Eastern Sea, even forming a partial Beast Tide in the sea. Though it’s primarily the marine legion’s responsibility, we still need to coordinate patrols around West Dragon Lake to hunt and destroy any Ferocious Beasts that co ashore. There’s just no ti. Sorry."
Before this, even with Su Ping’s extraordinary talent, it would not have occurred to Old Zhao to apologize to a junior for bailing on him. But in the period around the New Year, the junior in question had surprised Zhao Deguang ti and again. Zhao felt he owed Su Ping the proper respect.
A Beast Tide in the sea? Approaching from the direction of West Dragon Lake?
Su Ping slightly raised his eyebrows but chose not to dwell on it.
West Dragon Lake was vast, practically an inland sea of Jianghai Province, even dotted with many islands.
Why would Ferocious Beasts from the Eastern Sea enter West Dragon Lake?
He had to take this seriously. If any beasts escaped the Legion’s hunt and moved from West Dragon Lake to the west, entering Lingxi River and reaching the territory of his ho, what then?
He couldn’t afford to let his precious coral creatures be killed.
But the likelihood of that happening was slim.
With the Legion’s defenses, the mighty sea beasts should pose no problem.
Having thought this, Su Ping felt sowhat assured and said, "Alright, please take care of yourself!"
The call ended.
Su Ping rubbed his temples.
If he had known Old Zhao would be like this, why had he delayed? He should have bought a ticket to Beiyuan long ago.
However, his preparations over the past days had certainly been thorough.
With this in mind, Su Ping checked his Beast Taming Space again, just to be sure.
There was a high-purity golden box, as well as Golden Gloves and similar items. These were ant for capturing the Biyao Chunshen. Besides that, there was a huge safe. Within the safe lay treasures and resources that Su Ping had collected by various ans over these days.
Among them, the most precious ones weren’t in the safe but in another Space Ring Su Ping had.
It was none other than that Spiritual Level Resource!
Yes, the Spirit Saint Level Soul Guiding Wick!
A Spiritual Level Resource required for cultivating the ancient Super-Rank skill "External Incarnation." It was also the prize Su Ping finally claid as the first-place winner of the cultivation competition.
Additionally, the other resources needed to cultivate External Incarnation were all in his possession. These included Emperor Level Ethereal Spirit Water, Monarch Level Monarch Sli’s Nucleus, Fast Reproduction Spores, Advanced Soul Fragnts, and the like.
As for why he kept the Soul Guiding Wick separate, it wasn’t because these resources caused any reaction together. It was purely because Su Ping was worried about attracting the attention of Little Fla if placed in the Beast Taming Space.
During this period, Su Ping had focused a lot of his attention on Little Fla, even neglecting so of Feifei’s enhancents. He had co to understand a bit more about Little Fla. It could rge with any fla and seed to enjoy the company of bird-like Pet Beasts, appearing very pleased when burning alongside them. Moreover, it had a penchant for consuming Fla Fruits. The occasional Fla Fruits Su Ping created had mostly been devoured by this little creature, noticeably reducing Little Crow’s als.
But that was about the extent of it; beyond this aspect, there was very little understanding of Little Fla. It couldn’t be helped; occasionally, like a creature possessed, it would utter Serpentine Script. But its words were nothing more than the tired old claims about human traitors, which made Su Ping utterly speechless.
So, to unravel this mystery, he planned to raise Little Fla a bit more to understand why it harbored such animosity towards human Beast Tars.
