Chapter 147: Selecting a Mount
Zhou Hao was more anxious than anyone else about Xu Ling being poisoned.
However, compared to the others, he was also more confident in resolving the problem of Xu Ling being poisoned.
Even if he couldn’t find the antidote in the spatial rift, Zhou Hao wouldn’t feel despair. After all, he had the mysterious Heaven Dao software.
The mystery box in the software even had ancient prehistoric cultivation techniques and escape techniques. It should not be a problem for him to resolve the poison of a Blood Poison Centipede.
Of course, this was the last resort.
In the night sky, Zhou Hao quietly left the villa. Then, he soared into the sky in an empty place. He used the “Golden Crow Escape Technique” and returned to Huadong City from the spatial rift fortress base in a flash.
It took him three to four days to get here.
On the other hand, he returned in an instant.
He directly arrived at the East Station Headquarters of the Huadong City. Because he did not conceal his aura, Commander Zhao and the other grandmasters sensed him the moment he arrived and went forward to welcome him.
“Senior Zhou, you’re finally here,” Commander Zhao said with a smile.
Zhou Hao said apologetically, “Commander Zhao, I wasn’t in the city a few days ago. How’s the high-level grandmaster of the Dark Gods?”
Commander Zhao, He Biao, and the other grandmasters looked at each other and smiled. “He’s already dead.”
“Oh? Dead?” Zhou Hao pretended to be surprised.
“He was killed by the hidden peerless genius of Qu City High School… Senior Zhou, may I ask if that peerless genius is your disciple?” Commander Zhao asked in a low voice.
Zhou Hao did not plan on hiding anything this time and nodded. “That’s right. He did inherit his saber technique from me. I didn’t admit it before because I didn’t want him to be disturbed.”
Commander Zhao and the others came to a realization.
“Senior Zhou’s disciple is really outstanding. He was actually able to kill a high-level grandmaster!”
“Yeah, Senior Zhou has taught him well.”
“No wonder this genius doesn’t appear often. It turns out that with a master like Senior Zhou, he probably doesn’t lack resources.”
Zhen Hong and the other grandmasters smiled.
Zhou Hao waved his hand and said humbly, “He’s still lacking in strength. The high-level grandmaster of the Dark Gods doesn’t have strong combat strength. If he really did encounter a high-level king-level expert from the foreign races, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it.”
Commander Zhao and the others were speechless. This disciple was already strong enough to kill a high-level grandmaster, yet Senior Zhou had such high expectations of his disciple.
“By the way, Commander Zhao, I checked the channel messages. It seems like you needed me at noon?” Zhou Hao said.
Commander Zhao slapped his head and hurriedly said, “Senior Zhou, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. It’s like this. There are a few king-level demon beasts controlled by special chips in our city. That’s why I got Senior Zhou to come over and see if you need them.”
“The potential of the descendants of king-level demon beasts is not low. If they are nurtured from a young age, they can be tamed.”
Zhou Hao was stunned. “Really?”
Commander Zhao nodded. “Let’s go. The king-level demon beasts are all in the demon beast cages specially built beside the camp.”
The group immediately arrived beside the camp.
Roar! Roar!
As soon as the soldiers opened the demon beast cages, shocking roars sounded.
However, when these demon beasts sensed Zhou Hao’s aura, they immediately became listless. They felt fear from the depths of their bones towards Zhou Hao.
At this moment, Commander Zhao pointed at these king-level demon beasts. “Those demon beasts that are giving birth are very protective. Even though they are controlled by the chip, we still don’t dare to rashly approach them.”
Zhou Hao understood and strode in.
Dozens of king-level demon beasts lowered their heads and prostrated themselves on the ground, as if Zhou Hao was the emperor of the Demon Race.
Soon, he saw more than ten furry and cute demon beast pups biting and playing with each other.
Zhou Hao walked forward and casually grabbed five to six different demon beast pups before turning to leave.
The demon beasts’ parents also did not dare to protest.
When Commander Zhao and the others saw Zhou Hao return, their eyes lit up as they stared at the demon beast offspring in his hand.
After all, these were the descendants of king-level demon beasts. If they were nurtured well, they would quickly grow to become king-level demon beasts. Most importantly, unlike being controlled by the chip, these king-level demon beasts could be nurtured as combat companions.
“There are a total of six different types, with two flying types…” Zhou Hao threw these furry little cubs onto the ground.
Seeing so many unfamiliar humans, these demon beast cubs bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they roared. Their appearances were both fierce and cute.
Commander Zhao smiled and said, “Senior Zhou, you were the one who subdued these king-level demon beasts. Their descendants naturally belong to you.”
The other grandmasters did not say anything when they saw this.
Zhou Hao shook his head. “I’ll just casually choose one as my mount. I’ll leave the rest to the city to be nurtured. In the future, when they grow up, they can also help the city.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept towards a cat-type demon beast with white wings.
“I’ll pick this one, a Lion Tiger Beast.”
