The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 86 - 69 This Can't Be Washed Away (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Pass)_1

Qingwu Lake, located to the north of Green Sea City, is the largest urban park in Green Sea City and a national 4A scenic area.

However, for the locals of Green Sea City, they still prefer parks like Red Leaves and a few others.

The flow of people near Qingwu Lake is too large, all tourists coming to sightsee, and the locals do not like to compete with them for space.

At this moment, due to a report that an aquatic monster had been sighted within Qingwu Lake, many of the lake's recreational activities had to be suspended and officials were actively evacuating the public...

Thump, thump, thump.

By the time the crowd had mostly dispersed, two armored trucks arrived from other parts of the city and stopped near Qingwu Lake.

Off the trucks, Lu Ran was the first to exit... followed by one cat, two cats, three cats... and then dozens of stray cats.

The elite members of the largest stray cat team in Green Sea City had all assembled here.

"Holy shit, is that a Cat Trainer?" the Beast Trainers responsible for maintaining public order nearby were stunned!

Among them were even cats of a size comparable to tigers and leopards, making the young man leading them look quite imposing!

"Is that the extraordinary stray cat team that took over the seafood market? They've actually been subdued!"

"Who is the leading Beast Trainer? So cool."

"I heard it's external aid from the provincial capital. He looks young, could he be from the third generation?"

Then, Officer Luo also got out of the car, following beside Lu Ran, he said, "Do we... still need to shout?"

He looked towards the group of cats and took a deep breath. Since he didn't know how to settle these stray cats for the time being and it seemed only Lu Ran could manage them, he had no choice but to bring them along for now.

Not to mention, a group of extraordinary stray cats on an outing has an impressive presence. If they encountered other extraordinary beings, this would definitely be a formidable force, especially the large white cat the size of a tiger.

Earlier on the truck, Lu Ran had also had an in-depth conversation with the stray cats.

There were a total of 52 stray cats, 18 of which had completed initial mutation and evolution.

The most evolved White-Eared Cat, which seemed to have absorbed the most natural energy during a surge of spiritual energy, was suspected to have reached a Growth Level of 10 to 20.

It even awakened an Attribute due to natural energy, Earth Series, which was quite befitting of an earth cat.

Knowing One Ear's attribute, Lu Ran was relieved. It was fortunate that the police didn't directly conflict with them because if this earth cat simply dug a hole, it could have easily escaped. Dealing with its revenge later would have been even more challenging.

Not afraid of mice that can dig, but cats too, their vindictive psychology can be very strong.

Unlike Mr. Husky who doesn't hold grudges overnight, a cat can hold a grudge for a long time once it does.

The other 17 stray cats didn't have talents as good as One Ear's, or you could say they weren't as lucky. Perhaps their constitution couldn't absorb as much natural energy, or perhaps the geographic location of their initial natural energy surge wasn't ideal. In any case, their evolution varied significantly, and generally, none exceeded Level 10. Only six awakened an Attribute naturally, including the King of Sudden Death, who was unlucky enough to be sleeping during what could have been a miraculous event. Its growth wasn't significantly different from the others, and it was uncertain if there would be more opportunities in the future, especially since it hadn't been contracted and still counted as wild.

"Hmm… I'll still try calling out and see," Lu Ran said.

He looked towards the lush green Qingwu Lake, not sure if he could call out to that turtle since the lake was quite deep.

If shouting didn't rouse it, he could let the Pet Beast call it, like throwing the pocket-sized King of Sudden Death into the water to electrocute the fish!

But considering that the King of Sudden Death might actually die of drowning, it would be more suitable to have Mr. Husky, who was adept at swimming, go down instead, including diving and swimming, all of which Lu Ran had taught Mr. Husky...

A more forceful approach would be to have Mr. Husky cut the lake open with a sword...

Lu Ran walked to the edge of the lake, squatted down gently, touched the water's surface with his hand, and closed his eyes slightly.

[Old fellow, are you there?]

"Old fellow, are you there?"

"Come out and chat?"

Lu Ran muttered to himself for a while.

The people nearby watched Lu Ran and the lake's surface with great intensity.

Could this really work?

He's really acting like he's here to meet an old friend!

About half a minute later...

Some onlookers' eyes widened as the lake's surface really began to ripple with wave after wave, causing quite the disturbance.

Soon after, a massive dark shadow appeared in the emerald waters, which seemed to be five or six meters long, akin to a big white shark, no wonder tourists were alarmed, thinking they had encountered a water monster.

Whoosh!

The shadow kept rising, followed by an explosion of water droplets into the air.

The nearby Beast Trainers all took a step back in shock at the sight of the massive turtle emerging from the lake.

It was indeed five or six meters in length, and its entire body had undergone color changes, with the head and limbs turning a deep blue, exuding a domineering aura.

"Definitely above Level 10," Officer Luo thought to himself.

A large animal doesn't necessarily mean it's strong.

But an animal that surpasses its kin in size is certainly strong.

This turtle, along with the white cat, are clear examples of this.

These two... at the very least belong to the higher echelons of the extraordinary race.

"So it was you." At the same time, Lu Ran, upon seeing the giant turtle, spoke in a rather exasperated tone, he knew that if any animal in Qingwu Lake could evolve, it would definitely be this old turtle.

There's no helping it; its intelligence, from Lu Ran's perspective, is among the top five in the wildlife of Green Sea City, making it one of the smarter critters.

The white cat was the same, not low in intelligence.

While using intelligence to gauge extraordinary talent might seem unscientific, the reality was that these were the ones with the best luck and the highest degree of evolution.

"Huff~~~" The old turtle looked around cautiously, then gazed at Lu Ran.

Initially troubled by its sudden transformation, the old turtle reckoned that its appearance would cause a panic and, subsequently, a siege, so it had been hiding at the bottom of the lake.

It only surfaced when Lu Ran called it; in this Green Sea, among humans, it could only trust Lu Ran.

"What have you been through?" Lu Ran asked.

[Energy surged up from the bottom of the lake, covering me, and by the time I realized what was happening, I had transformed into this.] the old turtle explained.

"The world has undergone great changes, and spiritual energy has revived, leading all creatures to begin evolving... Anyway, knowing that you're evolving the fastest reassures me. For now, just stay at the bottom of the lake without causing trouble," Lu Ran said.

[I don't understand, I don't care, and I'm not bothered, I just want to live out my days in peace.] it said.

"That's going to be tough," Lu Ran said.

This old turtle has lived in the lake longer than any other, its daily life nothing more than lazing around waiting for death. Just as it neared the end of its lifespan, a wave of extraordinary evolution brought it back to square one.

It will no longer die within decades, it now reckons.

"Do me a favor, if there are any other mutant beasts in the lake, help keep them in check. Don't let them attack humans, or you might get dragged into it too."

The old turtle remained silent, clearly annoyed.

Who would have thought that at its old age, it would still end up being a Qingwu Lake security officer?

Alright then.

It didn't want to get involved with other mutant beasts and then be hunted by humans. It simply wanted to live out its days in peace.

"Officer Luo, this turtle probably won't have a tendency to harm people. Let's just let it stay here for now," Lu Ran said: n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"There are many wild animals in Qingwu Lake, and they all might evolve in the future. Completely removing them seems a bit unrealistic. I've communicated with it, and it will help keep the lake's ecosystem under control, so things don't get out of hand."

"I'm f*..." Officer Luo really wanted to swear at this moment.

He's completely baffled. Basically, you roped in a mutant giant turtle with just a few words, and it's even willing to willingly become the Qingwu Lake security officer??

How come it feels like Green Sea City is like your own backyard, where every animal must listen to you?

These animals, they haven't made any contract with Lu Ran either.

"That's good..." Officer Luo said verbally, having not much authority. For now, he could only accept whatever Lu Ran said was right. As for how to manage these extraordinary beings within the city, the higher-ups probably hadn't come to a conclusion either, considering everything happened so suddenly.

Just like that group of stray cats, the Green Sea officials also didn't know how to handle this giant turtle. As Lu Ran suggested, letting it stay temporarily in Qingwu Lake seemed to be the best choice. Either way, this attraction wasn't going to reopen anytime soon, irrelevant to whether the giant turtle was prone to injuring people or not.

Solving yet another issue, Officer Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could be happy for too long, his communication device went off.

"Officer Luo, this is the back mountain reconnaissance team. We just caught something with the drone's camera!"

"The Crow Swarm that flew into Jade Mountain and a giant Cricket that flew into the mountain, they look like they've encountered each other!"

"No, it's not just them; a giant Red Chain Snake has appeared too."

"One crow, one snake, one insect, they seem to be having a standoff surrounding a glowing plant. According to our judgment, that plant must be a special resource formed after being bathed in natural energy. These three evolutionary evolved extraordinary beings are probably competing for it!"

"There might even be a fight! Requesting instructions!"

The voice that came over Officer Luo's communication device, Lu Ran heard it loud and clear.

"Let's go!" Lu Ran said without a second thought.

…

Jade Mountain.

A plant resembling a dandelion was frantically absorbing the natural energy around it.

Compared to a normal dandelion, its white fluff had gathered two colors, one white and one green, casting a soft glow.

"Caw! Mine! It's all mine!"

"Shhhh————"

"Hiss————"

Surrounding this mutant dandelion, just like the report Officer Luo received, three animals with substantial evolutionary progress were having a standoff.

Atop a tree, a crow leader with widespread wings stood imposingly, an aura of darkness emanating from its body, commanding a murder of crows perched on the trees. Though mostly ordinary, together they presented a formidable sight, darkening tree after tree.

In comparison, the other two creatures were solitary.

One was a giant Cricket Warrior, clad in armor resembling metal, and the other a massive Red Chain Snake; one seemingly awakened the Golden Attribute, and the other Fire Attribute, having already scorched the surroundings.

At this moment, faced with the increasingly tempting resource, not one of the three evil beasts dared to take rash action, fearing a joint attack from the other two.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

However, at this moment, a sound arose.

Sensing another intruder, the three animals all showed a menacing gleam in their eyes.

But soon enough, two of the beasts displayed a look of surprise.

Because the leading figure of the incoming armed group was a black-haired young man.

Upon seeing him, the crow leader froze momentarily before it's eyes lit up, calling out loudly:

"My King!! My King!! I've found treasure for you, let's kill them off!!"

Lu Ran almost stumbled upon arriving.

The police Beast Trainers following Lu Ran gaped at the crow, which had seemingly evolved the ability to speak human language flawlessly.

What shocked them the most, however, was whom the black crow was looking at.

It seems the crow was looking at Lu Ran...

Did it just call Lu Ran a moment ago?

"My King??" Officer Luo exclaimed, realizing something was definitely unusual about Student Luran!

The Extraordinary Stray Cats listened to him, the Giant Turtle listened to him, and now an extraordinary Black Crow was calling him My King...

Meanwhile, Lu Ran's face turned dark. He was quite pleased when he arrived at Jade Mountain, sensing the dense natural energy and figuring that he could charge the Divine Deer Pendant in this reality instead of going to the Forest Secret Realm.

But this crow's squawk had completely messed things up!

Evolved your mouth pretty quickly, haven't you?

Do you really have to make me the King of Green Sea?

Damn it, there were three "evil beasts" here, and sure enough, he recognized two of them.

"Caw, My King, say something," the crow leader urgently sought external aid, not wanting to share this precious treasure with that Cricket or Snake!
