"And the final result was that six unknown creatures compromised, breaking through the glass illusion and disappearing!"
"Did that little golden man... no, the mysterious golden man say anything?" Lu Fei was very curious about the other party's origin.
Chu Huai Nan shook his head and said without any concealment, "After those six unknown creatures left, the taut string in my heart loosened, and then I fell into a coma. I don't know what happened afterwards."
You fainted again... Lu Fei grumbled silently.
"Heh heh, luckily I have the protection of Qiongqi, otherwise I might have been dismembered..." Chu Huai Nan sighed with relief, as if he had narrowly escaped death.
Lu Fei was stunned.
"En? Is he hinting at something?" A sense of guilt arose in Lu Fei's mind. He quietly withdrew his gaze, not daring to meet Chu Huai Nan's eyes.
His expression was strange.
Emmm... the taste is okay, but the meat is a bit tough.
Lu Fei slapped himself hard, "How could I have such thoughts! People have treated me well!"
"Little friend Lu Fei, what's wrong with you?!" Chu Huai Nan was startled by Lu Fei's strange behavior.
Lu Fei was stunned, but quickly reacted, gritting his teeth and saying, "I hate that I wasn't born in that era, otherwise I would have fought alongside you!"
Chu Huai Nan patted his shoulder and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's enough that you have this intention."
Lu Fei continued in an angry tone, "Old man, tell me, what did they look like? I will definitely slaughter them in the future!"
Chu Huai Nan smiled faintly, his expression gratified.
Lu Fei's true thoughts were: "Won't this get them blacklisted? Regardless of whether they are relatives of the ignorant snake, I'll just avoid them on sight!"
Chu Huai Nan began to recall.
"The first unknown creature was deep blue all over, resembling a turtle, but with a dragon's head and a viper's tail. Judging by its skills, it should be water-attributed."
"The second unknown creature was fiery red all over, likely avian, but it had three heads and six tails. It emitted terrifying high temperatures, melting even mountains wherever it went!"
"The third contracted beast was dark yellow all over, shaped like a tiger or leopard, with five tails, and a single horn on its head that could summon natural lightning!"
"They possessed the same abilities as their contracted beasts, but their strength was far greater than that of the contracted beasts!"
Lu Fei secretly noted down the appearances of several unknown creatures and decisively blacklisted them!
"En? Anything else?" Lu Fei asked with anticipation, ready to jot down the appearances of the other three.
Chu Huai Nan seemed to sense something. "I didn't fight the other three, so I'm not very clear about them."
Lu Fei nodded, but felt something was not quite right. These unknown creatures escaped, they didn't die, what if they came back one day?
"Old man, after they escaped, did the World Government stop bothering with them?" Lu Fei was a little confused.
"Of course not," Chu Huai Nan affirmed. "The World Government immediately convened a council of representatives. The seven representatives unanimously decided to dispatch special forces to pursue these escaped unknown creatures. This operation lasted for several years."
"Were they found?"
Chu Huai Nan nodded silently.
"Later, the trace of the ice-attributed unknown creature was found in the extremely cold northern region, and the trace of the fire-attributed unknown creature was found in the extremely hot southern region. The whereabouts of the other few remain unknown."
At this point, a strange gleam flashed across his brow.
"But we discovered some never-before-seen new species of contracted beasts in these two locations respectively. Even more astonishingly, these new species actually possessed the bloodline of those two contracted beasts!"
"Ah?"
Lu Fei's jaw dropped.
They even kept harems? So resourceful... Lu Fei said with a serious expression, "Is the World Government just letting them propagate like this?"
Chu Huai Nan did not speak, and even now, his eyes still held a trace of unwillingness.
Lu Fei understood the meaning in his eyes.
He pondered for a moment, then thought of something and guessed, "Could it be that the World Government discovered the bloodline value of these unknown creatures, and therefore intentionally let them breed?"
He only mentioned one reason; the other reason was naturally that two of the Ten Elders were dead, and anyone else would be going there in vain!
Chu Huai Nan looked over sideways, his expression incredulous.
"What's wrong?" Lu Fei was somewhat puzzled.
"You could see through the World Government's intentions so quickly? I was depressed about this for a long time back then!" Chu Huai Nan's expression was surprised, appearing somewhat simple and honest.
As the sole survivor of the animal research major, how could he not understand hybridization... Lu Fei feigned surprise, "Is that really the reason?"
Chu Huai Nan nodded, as if relieved, thinking to himself that he, being so smart and witty, only figured it out after a long time, how could a little wing like you understand it at a glance!
"But their intrusion caused so many deaths in Yanbei City. Can the public accept this solution?" Lu Fei felt that this solution was the World Government compromising with those unknown creatures. The families of the deceased would never accept this outcome, and moreover, two of the Ten Elders were among them!
Chu Huai Nan sighed, "Naturally, they are unwilling to accept it."
"Then what was the final resolution?"
"The World Government issued a bounty. Whoever kills or captures these unknown creatures will be directly granted noble status and will be provided with housing in the seven major fortress cities."
A good strategy. This way, even if they didn't send troops, the public couldn't find fault, and the contradiction was reasonably diverted... Lu Fei wondered, "Did anyone go?"
Chu Huai Nan said nonchalantly, "No one did."
Lu Fei: "..."
Then he continued to ask, "Doesn't the World Government worry that they will intrude into human society again?"
Chu Huai Nan first nodded, then shook his head.
Perhaps he was a little thirsty from talking, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Fei quickly refilled it, eagerly listening to the old man tell the stories of the past...
After resting for a while, Chu Huai Nan slowly said, "Their appearance was undoubtedly a disaster."
"But at the same time, because of their appearance, the Beastmaster Continent gained a large number of brand new species of contracted beasts. Scientists, through repeated experiments, extracted their combat templates and applied them to research, medicine, and war defense systems, causing these fields to develop at a rapid pace."
"Later, some scientists conducted experiments, and any fortress city today could absolutely withstand the same attack as that day!"
He looked at Lu Fei and smiled, "This is also why I suspect that the contracted beast in your hand comes from the starry domain."
"Why? Are there any special markings on the unknown creatures from the starry domain?" Lu Fei was also curious about this question.
Chu Huai Nan smiled, "Heh heh, this is very simple. Almost all contracted beasts in this world have been recorded in the Beastmaster Compendium. As for the contracted beasts that were later reproduced under the influence of unknown creatures from the starry domain, their various attribute values are not displayed in the Beastmaster Compendium."
"Furthermore, it's the location where you captured it. In Cang Town, there couldn't be such a new species of contracted beast. And you said it was still an egg when you first found it, which makes perfect sense."
"I suspect it should have come here with the unknown creature you saw."
Listening to Chu Huai Nan's analysis, Lu Fei deeply agreed.
No wonder the Beastmaster Compendium displayed the name of the ignorant snake as an unknown snake... Lu Fei felt a sudden realization.
"Hey?" Lu Fei remembered something.
He turned his head and sized up Brother Chicken, his expression strange.
Brother Chicken was stunned.
If he remembered correctly, the Beastmaster Compendium displayed Brother Chicken's name as an unknown chicken... Lu Fei felt like he had discovered Brother Chicken's big secret.
"Old man, what kind of species do you think my contracted beast belongs to?"
Lu Fei pointed at Brother Chicken with a little anticipation.
