"And the most awkward part for the Beast Taming Sect's aquatic spirit beasts is that they can't come ashore before the Golden Core."
"Furthermore, because the Thousand Machine Armor requires a human to wear it, many parts need to be redesigned to avoid being too bulky, especially the legs and feet."
"But these aquatic spirit beasts don't have legs! Just modifying the upper body to look like a fish tank would suffice!"
"There's even no need for a fish tank. If the Beast Taming Ring can be improved, could it allow for the complete control of the Thousand Machine Armor within the ring!"
"If this method works, not only aquatic spirit beasts but also large beasts with mobility issues could benefit from it!"
"The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion could also collect a vast amount of test data to prepare for future development."
"Everyone gains, it's practically a win-win."
Zhang Ze shared his thoughts with the two people, and Li Jue's eyes lit up, while Elder Han seemed deep in thought.
After leaving Elder Han, Li Jue was quite excited, chatting with Zhang Ze all the way about some of his ideas, all about more explosions and greater firepower.
Zhang Ze felt that this kid was somewhat wasted at the Beast Taming Sect; he should go to the Heaven-Blasting Gang to shine, offering explosions for a better tomorrow.
As they reached the main entrance of the Dragon Palace, Zhang Ze looked up just in time to see Xia Yan walking out from another corridor.
Miss Xia also saw Zhang Ze and Li Jue. Zhang Ze, considering himself a love expert, immediately understood her intent from her glance.
As an excellent wingman, Zhang Ze didn't wait for Li Jue to speak and gave him a "I know what you mean, take care" look.
Then he patted Li Jue on the shoulder and walked towards the Dragon Palace entrance alone.
He opened the brocade box on the table, took out the specially made small walnut, called over the large octopus arm, and left the Dragon Palace riding a bubble.
Looking back, Li Jue was being dragged into the Dragon Palace by Xia Yan.
By the time he came out of the water, it was already evening.
The night was clear, with stars scattered sparsely in the sky. If it weren't for the occasional large clam spraying water at the moon in the lake, balancing pearls, it would indeed be a nice place to enjoy the scenery.
Zhang Ze stood by the lake, watching the large clams occasionally leap out of the water, contemplating his next actions.
Due to the death in the village, something special must have happened over at Wolong Marsh; some demon beasts or plants might be affected.
Judging from the tasks given by the system, it is likely related to the village awakening early from the Stone Pill.
However, Zhang Ze wasn't particularly anxious because Wolong Marsh was currently full of experts from the Beast Taming Sect.
Giant Turtle Zhu Luo and several elders of the Beast Taming Sect, as well as a large number of Golden Core Stage cultivators, were patrolling and searching over there.
One reason is to prevent idle people from approaching, and the second is to search for any traces left by the village.
No one is more concerned about the village's affairs than Zhu Luo.
As for himself, his mission to the Beast Taming Sect this time was successfully completed, and he secured his Golden Core from the sect.
The remaining matters include telling Lily about making an exoskeleton for the Little Qilin and experimenting with the Beast Taming version of the Thousand Machine Armor.
But Zhang Ze really didn't want to disturb Lily now.
Because Lily was incredibly annoying. While asking Li Yueqi about Li Jue's location during the day, he noticed Lily had sent him no less than 99 messages.
It must have been because of his footage of the cloud-slicing dragon.
Dealing with Lily now is undoubtedly a never-ending affair.
"I'll talk to her tomorrow; let's just have a peaceful night tonight."
After informing Li Yueqi of today's visit to Elder Han with Li Jue, mentioning the Little Qilin and his own speculations, and asking them to watch out for any unusual creatures appearing over at Wolong Marsh, Zhang Ze put the small walnut away.
Thinking about it, it seemed that only opening boxes was left, though he wondered what he might get this time.
The last box-opening was back at the Sword Sect Main Pavilion.
But fate had other plans, for Zhang Ze wanted peace, yet someone was still thinking about him.
Feeling that connection, Zhang Ze sighed.
He went to a secluded place, like a thief, and took out the Nameless Black King Order.
The contact was from the immediate superior of the nameless, deceased special envoy from the Hundred Demons Sect.
The Five Rams Elder of the Hundred Demons Sect.
This time the contact wasn't a conversation but two unilateral messages.
"Proceed immediately to the Beast Taming Sect to assist the Demon Sect dark agent 'Yu Dong' in escaping"
"The contact code is..."
"Following this contact, go into hiding; there will be no new tasks from the Main Helm."
Zhang Ze put away the Black King Order, looking up at the moon in the sky, he felt like lighting a cigarette.
"Such is the way of things..."
