It saw that it could have easily killed that beast tamer, but it didn't.
It flapped its wings, caught up to the beast tamer, and bit its neck, blood gushing out.
The beast tamer struggled in terror.
It quickly let go, allowing him to continue fleeing.
"Quick, save him!"
Bi Heng and the others hurriedly summoned their respective contracted beasts, preparing to save the beast tamer.
However, the strange creature became interested when it saw Zheng Dong and the others.
It flapped its wings, flew above the beast tamer, clamped its head with its feet, and twisted forcefully, snapping off a large head.
This brutal scene sent chills down everyone's spines.
This was not the end; it then attacked the contracted beasts summoned by Bi Heng, Ai Wei, and the others.
It spewed out a mouthful of flames, and Bi Heng's General-level Earth Exploding Bear was burned to death.
Then, it kicked and shattered the head of a Lord-level Fire Monkey.
Bi Heng, Ai Wei, and the others were so scared that they quickly retreated.
"Quick, run..." a high-level beast tamer, terrified, shouted.
Instantly, several people fled in panic.
Bi Heng did not stop them.
He was also scared.
"Mr. Ning, let's hurry and leave too!"
Bi Heng said as he retreated, and finally turned to quicken his pace.
This was because two more General-level contracted beasts had fallen.
If this continued, in a few minutes, all the contracted beasts of him, Ai Wei, and the others would be killed.
Ai Wei did not hesitate either, running faster than Bi Heng.
At this moment, it was no longer about making money, but about saving their lives.
Ning Wei and Yan Han were stunned.
They never expected the training team they hired to be so unreliable.
What to do?
The brutal creature had already dealt with the contracted beasts of Bi Heng, Ai Fan, and the others, and was now looking at them.
Zheng Dong was not flustered.
The combat power displayed by this strange creature was only at the peak King level, which did not pose a threat to him.
What surprised him was that Sea Elephant Island was far more dangerous than he had anticipated.
"You guys should go back quickly, Sea Elephant Island is not suitable for your training!" Zheng Dong said to Ning Wei and the others.
Ning Wei was stunned.
"Damn, Brother Dong told you to leave quickly, what are you still standing there for?"
As he spoke, Ning Wei pushed Yan Han aside, signaling Yan Han's two best friends to take Yan Han with them. He intended to stay and deal with the brutal creature with Zheng Dong.
However, in the next second, countless vines shot out from Zheng Dong's left hand, forming a forest cage that trapped the brutal creature.
Moreover, no matter how much the brutal creature unleashed its flames, it could not burn down the forest cage.
This scene made Ning Wei and the others' minds unable to process, feeling incredibly unbelievable.
"What are you still waiting for? Go! There might be more than just this monster here!" Zheng Dong said.
Seeing this, Yan Han quickly pulled Ning Wei and they left rapidly.
After they all left, Zheng Dong carefully examined the brutal creature.
He felt that this was not a simple extraordinary creature.
It seemed to have been modified.
Like a hybrid!
At this moment, the brutal creature tore open the forest cage and pounced at Zheng Dong in anger.
But immediately after, Ling'er unleashed the ultimate skill, Vine Sea Constriction.
Countless vines, like countless poisonous snakes, surged towards the opponent and swallowed it in an instant.
The brutal creature was not to be outdone and unleashed its ultimate skill, Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens.
Waves of flames erupted, forming phoenixes, trying to burn the sea of vines.
Unfortunately, not only were the vines not ignited, but they also released purifying flames.
The strange white flames quickly burned the brutal creature to death.
To understand its origin, Zheng Dong asked Ling'er to preserve its corpse.
As the vines retreated, a scorched corpse appeared before Zheng Dong.
Due to the special nature of the purifying flames, although the skin was scorched, the inside of the body was frozen into ice.
After careful examination, Zheng Dong confirmed that this was not an extraordinary creature, but a hybrid human.
Hybrid humans could be further divided into three types.
One type only possessed the abilities of extraordinary creatures and could not cultivate a beast-taming space to become a beast tamer.
The other type was the opposite: they could become beast tamers but could not master the abilities of extraordinary creatures.
The last type was like Zheng Dong, who was both a beast tamer and had awakened the abilities of extraordinary creatures.
The first two types were easier to deal with, but the last type of hybrid was the most feared, as they were not only powerful themselves but could also contract contracted beasts.
However, why would hybrids appear here?
Zheng Dong's Azure Dragon bloodline was currently suppressed by Ling'er. As long as there was enough time, it would be completely absorbed and fused by Ling'er.
He would also become a normal human.
But his parents were researchers of hybrids, and their whereabouts were currently unknown.
Therefore, he was quite curious about hybrids.
He decided to investigate the reason behind it.
Immediately, Zheng Dong, along with Xiao Zi and Ling'er, headed deeper into Sea Elephant Island.
Along the way, they saw several more corpses.
It seemed they were all beast tamers who had come to adventure on Sea Elephant Island.
It was considered lucky to have bodies left behind.
Many had no bodies left at all.
Before long, Zheng Dong encountered another hybrid monster.
This was a woman with the bloodline of the Sky Devouring Python.
She was currently in a frenzied state, bloodthirsty and murderous, and had swallowed many beast tamers.
Her lower body had completely transformed into the appearance of a Sky Devouring Python, while her upper body remained in a human state.
Upon seeing Zheng Dong, she unleashed the ultimate skill, Infinite Devour.
Zheng Dong did not hesitate, having Ling'er unleash ultimate skills such as Eternal Freeze to quickly deal with her.
As Zheng Dong ventured deeper, he also found a research base in the depths of Sea Elephant Island.
This hybrid research base was massive, excavating several mountains, and it could directly access the sea through the rivers of Sea Elephant Island.
Zheng Dong arrived at the outskirts of the laboratory and did not rush in.
Because there were many hybrids here, he could not be sure if there were more powerful hybrids inside the research base.
If it were just King or Emperor level, he would not be afraid.
He was afraid of encountering Overlord level ones.
Meanwhile, Bi Heng, Ai Wei, and the others had also fled back to the pier of Sea Elephant Island.
They had suffered heavy losses this time, and their hearts bled with every contracted beast that fell.
Fortunately, they were all safe and had managed to escape.
As for whether Ning Wei and the others would return, it was no longer within their consideration.
At this moment, Ai Wei's phone rang.
The person who had asked him for help earlier was inquiring about Zheng Dong's location.
He then realized that the other party had sent more than ten messages, and he had not replied.
Ai Wei frowned.
His contracted beasts had also died, and it would take a lot of money to train them again.
Therefore, without much hesitation, he sent the coordinates where Zheng Dong and the others had been to the other party.
On the other side of Sea Elephant Island, on a luxurious yacht, a grizzled Master-level beast tamer said:
"Young Master Ye, Zheng Dong and the others have landed on the island. The coordinates have already been sent to us."
Ye Qiao nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
After leaving the hospital, he had been thinking of revenge constantly.
For this purpose, he had made many preparations.
Unfortunately, Zheng Dong had gone to Xingye Country, and had been away for more than two months.
This had caught him off guard.
When Zheng Dong returned this time, he could no longer hold back and decided to make a move.
He also had the support of his father, Ye Chengbì.
This was because his father wanted to figure out how Ye Xue'er had died.
Why had everyone else survived, but only Ye Xue'er and Lei Tianqi had died?
After all, their strength was greater than many of the beast tamers who had survived.
Ye Chengbì could not obtain a definitive answer from Yanhuang.
Related information could not be obtained from Xingye Country for the time being.
Ye Chengbì then turned his attention to all the beast tamers who had participated in the relic archaeology this time.
Of course, he could not obtain any information from Li Yang Chuanqi and Professor Guo Lan.
However, there were many others who could not afford to offend the Ye family.
After a simple inquiry, no one knew what had happened.
The only piece of information obtained was that Ye Xue'er and Lei Tianqi had been unlucky and were teleported to the outer city, an area occupied by demons.
Most of the beast tamers teleported to the outer city had died.
Zheng Dong was an exception.
Thus, Ye Chengbì felt that Zheng Dong might know what Ye Xue'er and Lei Tianqi had encountered in the outer city.
He also suspected that the three had clashed.
Because of Ye Xue'er's temperament, if she had encountered Zheng Dong, she would definitely have instigated Lei Tianqi to make a move on Zheng Dong.
For this reason, Ye Chengbì specifically found two Legendary-level individuals to accompany Ye Qiao.
In addition to the two Legendary-level individuals, there were also five Master-level beast tamers and twelve Grandmaster-level beast tamers.
With this lineup, even confronting Legendary-level individuals would be no problem.
Moreover, Zheng Dong was only a Grandmaster-level beast tamer.
With this, Ye Qiao was also full of confidence.
Zheng Dong, you are doomed this time, no one can save you.
Unfortunately, Ye Qiao did not know that Zheng Dong possessed Overlord-level combat power.
Even when facing Legendary-level beast tamers, he was not afraid at all.
Subsequently, Ye Qiao led his group onto Sea Elephant Island.
The luxurious yacht transformed into a mechanical contracted beast and returned to the side of one of the Legendary-level contracted beasts.
Soon, they arrived at the location where Zheng Dong had been earlier.
There was nothing here except for the corpse of a hybrid.
Ye Qiao frowned and looked at the grizzled Master-level beast tamer.
"Uncle Chao, what's going on?"
The grizzled Master-level beast tamer, also from the Ye family, was named Ye Chao, but his status in the Ye family was far inferior to Ye Qiao's.
Ye Chao quickly picked up his phone and questioned Ai Wei.
Ai Wei had to brace himself and explain.
He didn't know where Zheng Dong had gone.
He arrogantly believed that Zheng Dong might not be able to deal with that ferocious creature and might have already died.
After understanding the cause and effect, Ye Chao's face turned ugly.
He did not expect that he had found an idiot.
Damn it, let's see how I deal with you later.
Ye Qiao did not pay too much attention.
As long as Zheng Dong was still on this Sea Elephant Island, he was confident that he could find him.
Then, Ye Qiao summoned a General-level Moon Howling Celestial Wolf.
The Moon Howling Celestial Wolf sniffed the surrounding scent and quickly pursued the direction Zheng Dong had left.
Ye Qiao and the others also quickly followed.
Before long, Ye Qiao and his group also arrived outside the hybrid research base.
Everyone was surprised.
Who had such a grand undertaking to build such a large base on an island!
Ye Qiao thought of the Spirit God Cult.
But the Spirit God Cult did not seem to be interested in hybrids.
Nor had there been any rumors of high-ranking officials of the Spirit God Cult being hybrids.
However, Ye Qiao was quite happy.
If this base could be occupied and used as their Ye family's research base, it would be quite good.
Good job, Zheng Dong, you've given me a pleasant surprise.
Ye Qiao led his men into the research base.
Along the way, they were attacked by many hybrids.
Ye Chao felt something was wrong.
If Zheng Dong had entered, why were there no traces of his battles? Nor were there any corpses of hybrids around!
Not only him, but other beast tamers also had doubts.
But Ye Qiao trusted the judgment of the Moon Howling Celestial Wolf.
Without hesitation, he led the group deep into the research base.
Zheng Dong, on the other hand, did not foolishly charge directly into the research base but disguised himself as a hybrid.
He possessed the Azure Dragon bloodline and mastered the skill Mimicry Camouflage, making it easy to disguise himself as a hybrid, and they could not detect it at all.
At this moment, Zheng Dong was covered in fine scales, and his hands had transformed into sharp claws.
Of course, these were all disguises and did not have actual combat power.
The deeper he went, the more he felt that this research base was terrifying.
He encountered not only King-level hybrids but also many Emperor-level hybrids.
With so many hybrids being controlled, participating in experiments here, and remaining undiscovered for so many years, it was evident that the organization or individual behind the hybrid research was extraordinarily powerful.
However, what had happened in this research base that caused these hybrids to lose control?
Zheng Dong had already reached the depths of the research base, and along the way, he saw many corpses of research base staff.
Especially those in white coats, they were the most tragic, with almost no complete bodies, and were tortured beyond recognition.
It was clear that these hybrids were filled with rage.
Blood, torn flesh, and even brain matter were visible everywhere.
The pungent smell of blood could make one vomit their dinner.
Fortunately, as he went deeper, there were fewer and fewer hybrids in sight.
Zheng Dong estimated that these hybrids had gradually left the research base.
Therefore, Zheng Dong summoned Xiao Zi again.
Xiao Zi used the Magnification skill, shrinking its body and standing on Zheng Dong's shoulder to search for resources.
With such a large research base having an accident, there should be quite a few resources left behind!
Of course, this was just Zheng Dong's guess.
However, the miniaturized Xiao Zi was very suitable for searching for resources everywhere.
Otherwise, with Xiao Zi's current size, it could not even enter the doors of many places.
Zheng Dong also decided to teach the Magnification skill to Youyou, Xiao Qing, and other contracted beasts.
Magnification was a special mental-type skill that many contracted beasts could learn, but it was very difficult to master.
But for Zheng Dong, these were not issues.
With the assistance of his skill domain, Youyou, Xiao Qing, and other contracted beasts should be able to master it quickly.
Soon, with Xiao Zi's search, Zheng Dong arrived at the core area of the research base.
It was eerily quiet here.
And it was buried deep underground.
Given the altitude of Sea Elephant Island, this place should be below sea level.
As soon as Zheng Dong entered, he saw a man covered in blood sitting on a sofa not far away, staring intently at him.
This was likely the office area for the research base staff.
There were offices, conference rooms, rest areas, and several important laboratories.
Xiao Zi told Zheng Dong that by passing through the rest area and going further, he could sense very strong energy fluctuations, possibly a legendary-level resource.
Zheng Dong ignored the blood-covered man and continued in the direction Xiao Zi indicated.
However, after only taking two steps.
The man behind him said:
"Who are you? You don't belong here!"
Zheng Dong had no choice but to stop and look at the man.
Only then did he notice that the man's eyes were fiery red, indicating he was likely a hybrid.
