Chapter 414: Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor

The Red Knight's show of goodwill also made Ye Bai feel very strange.

However, with Dankalabi as a witness, Ye Bai still believed what the Red Knight had said.

At the same time, he reported the Red Knight's intelligence—regarding the four Great Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth being on the verge of breaking through to the Ninth Rank—to his superiors.

Just at this moment, the Chairman of the Zuoweihui suddenly called.

"Ye Bai, do you have any time recently?"

Listening to the Chairman of the Zuoweihui's amiable voice, a multitude of question marks flashed directly through Ye Bai's mind.

Does this person have something to ask for?

Hearing that Ye Bai did not speak, Song Fu'an stated his intention directly.

"Ye Bai, I just received news that many of the Pet Beasts of the Beast Mercenary Group have suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea."

"And the strongest one, the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor, seems to have fallen gravely ill and is unable to get up."

"Now, the experts of the Zuoweihui are all at their wits' end, so I would like to invite you to come and take a look."

"The Beast Mercenary Group is the strongest security force for this event; once something goes wrong, it is estimated that the safety of the entire Young Qilin Cup will be affected."

Song Fu'an rambled on for a long time, but feeling that Ye Bai still hadn't agreed, he hardened his heart and said, "If you can cure the Pet Beasts of the Beast Mercenary Group, we will pay a handsome reward. How about that?"

After Ye Bai achieved the goal he wanted, he finally agreed to the request.

However, he demanded to charge per animal.

When Song Fu'an agreed, Ye Bai asked for the time and location.

The Beast Mercenary Group was stationed near Tianquan City; after their mission ended, they would continue to undertake security work for the Phoenix Chick Cup.

The Sun Flower Fairy is currently expanding rapidly in Tianzhong City, and after devouring the blood energy of many demons, its splitting speed has become even faster.

The souls of the demons will be collected by the Clones of the Sun Flower Fairy to become nutrients for the advancement of the Hell Nether Wolf.

The base of the Beast Mercenary Group was surrounded by a circle of Giant Oak Trees.

The Giant Oak Tree is a very special plant-type Pet Beast; once they reach adulthood, they possess the strength of the peak of the Fifth Rank.

The trees were lush and leafy, covered with acorn fruits the size of a palm.

These acorn fruits contained high concentrations of explosives.

Once they explode, their shells scatter like sharp iron shards.

A violent shockwave will instantly spread out.

【The Giant Oak Tree has been infected by undead aura.】

On the outskirts of the Beast Mercenary Group, the leader of the Beast Mercenary Group, Wang Hu, was so anxious that a large blister had formed on the corner of his mouth.

They had finally managed to land a big contract, only for the Pet Beasts in the mercenary group to show abnormalities.

With the Young Qilin Cup about to start, what should they do now?

Wang Hu was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in a rush.

The Judges of the Young Qilin Cup Zuoweihui had already looked at these Pet Beasts, but unfortunately, they were all stuttering and couldn't find any reason.

"Calm down, calm down, Wang Hu. The person I found for you this time is an expert among experts."

"He is a former Young Qilin Cup champion and has also received world-class awards; he is fully capable of helping your Pet Beasts with their treatment."

Song Fu'an said with extreme calmness.

Ye Bai was the most amazing person he had ever met, bar none.

"I hope so. Even if he can treat my Pet Beasts, with so many of them, it will be an astronomical figure."

"Our Beast Mercenary Group cannot afford this price."

Wang Hu's eyebrows were furrowed into a 'chuan' shape; he truly felt he could not afford this treatment cost.

"Don't worry, I have already discussed it with Ye Bai; this time, the costs will all be paid from the public account."

"You are heroes who protect the country; we cannot let you both bleed and sweat."

"After all, you are responsible for the security this time, and you only charged a very small fee."

"I cannot let you pay such a large treatment fee."

"Just leave everything to me."

Song Fu'an said decisively.

Ye Bai arrived here, travel-worn and weary.

He was wearing a cloak.

The surroundings were quiet, with only the mournful cries of fierce beasts and the crackling sound of the campfire.

At this moment, gusts of breeze blew in from afar, landing on the oak acorns.

The oak acorns collided with each other, making a clinking sound.

Ye Bai knew that these palm-sized oak acorns had extraordinary power when they exploded.

"Who is it?"

Wang Hu suddenly glared, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

A Shadow Tiger appeared silently behind Wang Hu.

Its Lijua were one meter long, and its tiger eyes looked directly at Ye Bai.

It arched its back, the muscles all over its body tensed tightly.

It lowered its head and let out a roar, shaking the surrounding giant oak trees until they rustled.

However, Wang Hu knew very well in his heart that the fruits of the giant oak trees only fell when they were attacking.

Usually, they stuck to the branches of the giant oak trees just like 502 glue.

"Wang Hu, don't make a move; this is the Breeder I invited."

Song Fu'an said hurriedly, fearing that Wang Hu would split Ye Bai in two if they didn't see eye to eye.

"Sorry, sorry, Ye Bai, Wang Hu doesn't recognize you, please forgive him."

Song Fu'an hurriedly said to Ye Bai again.

"It's fine. Where is the patient? I'll just finish this quickly."

Ye Bai said to Song Fu'an with his hands in his pockets.

"Please come with me, Breeder."

"I have heard many legends about you."

Wang Hu was a middle-aged man with a crew cut, and he looked capable and shrewd.

There was a deep scratch on his face, making him look somewhat ferocious.

The Shadow Tiger stayed to one side, quietly waiting for orders.

As soon as Wang Hu gave the order, it would launch an attack immediately.

"Come on, let me see your skills."

"I have looked for many Breeders, and none of them could say anything substantial; it really makes me feel very disappointed."

"If you can tell me, I'll consider you impressive."

Wang Hu was somewhat impolite when speaking to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai understood that this was because he had never seen him take action, so naturally, he didn't know his true capabilities.

Wang Hu brought Ye Bai to the location of the beast pens.

It stank to high heaven here, and the Pet Beasts were all lying in the pens, looking panting and exhausted.

Ye Bai looked over and found the cause immediately.

"When you placed the beast pens, did you not use mature soil?"

Wang Hu???

What is mature soil?

Strange and peculiar knowledge seemed to have increased again.

"So-called raw soil is soil that is exactly as it was originally, without any treatment. This kind of soil contains yin energy. If Pet Beasts stay in this place for a long time, they will be at risk of getting sick."

"Mature soil, on the other hand, has been treated and sprinkled with lime and light-attribute treasures to dispel the yin energy in the soil, ensuring the safety of the Pet Beasts."

After hearing Ye Bai say this, everyone suddenly realized the truth.

So that was it.

Wang Hu's attitude became much more polite as a result.

After all, Ye Bai had pointed out the cause at a glance.

"Then Peiyun Dashi, how should we handle this?"

Wang Hu asked Ye Bai softly, without the tense atmosphere from before.

Even his originally rough voice was lowered quite a bit.

"It's very simple; just use a light-attribute skill to dispel the yin energy inside the Pet Beasts' bodies."

"It is precisely because the yin energy entered their bodies that they suffered from acclimatization issues, which led to the Pet Beasts having severe diarrhea."

Ye Bai's words left Song Fu'an and Wang Hu puzzled.

"Since it can be solved so simply, why couldn't those Judges identify it?"

"Could there be other reasons?"

Ye Bai laughed: "Look, you can't even distinguish between raw soil and mature soil; this knowledge might be too obscure."

"Yin energy entering the body cannot be detected by such machines; only experienced masters are likely to detect it."

"This is the difference between us."

"Now, we don't need to dwell on it."

"Come out, Sunflower Fairy, create a Clone, Holy Light Shine."

Holy and dazzling light fell upon the Pet Beasts.

These Pet Beasts, which had been lying on the ground at death's door, recovered after encountering the Holy Light Shine.

They regained their vitality.

Their bellies also felt warm, and after a short while, they stood up.

Tiger roars and wolf howls also appeared in the beast pen.

"Master, could you please help me take a look and see what the problem is with my Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor?"

"It won't let anyone get close, and its personality has become extremely irritable."

The Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor was extremely burly, nearly as tall as a five-story building.

It had three pairs of wings on its back, and sharp teeth like two long swords protruded from its mouth.

Its whole body was the color of a leopard, only its eyes were bloodshot, and its mouth was swollen in a large patch.

At a glance, this was a cavity.

【Name: Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor】

【Gender: Male】

【Attribute: Metal】

【Level: Seven-Tier Peak】

【Skills: Flight (Mastery): The three pairs of wings grown on its back allow it to easily fly into the air and attack enemies while flying.

Tearing Claw (Mastery): The Lijua possesses the ability of Sharp Cold; touching an opponent will cause the opponent to rapidly enter a Bleeding state, and this state cannot be healed.

Tiger King Intimidation (Mastery): Emits a powerful Soul intimidation from its mouth to intimidate the opponent, which has a certain chance of causing a stiffening effect; if it encounters an Undead spirit, it can directly shatter its Soul.

Tiger King Cannon (Mastery): Gathers the body's energy to emit a blinding beam of light to attack the opponent, which will cause the opponent to evaporate directly.

Saber-Tooth (Mastery): Emits sharp sword Qi from its mouth to attack the opponent; after the opponent is hit by the sword Qi, they will be torn to pieces.

Tiger Totem (Mastery): Creates a Saber-Toothed Tiger totem, with the pattern of a Saber-Toothed Tiger appearing on the totem, which can enhance the courage of surrounding Pet Beasts and form a King's Fearless; all Pet Beasts covered in the Fearless Aura will have their combat power significantly increased (Note: it can only enhance Pet Beasts in beast form; it has no great effect on other Pet Beasts)】

【Evolution Route 1: Jinguang Jianchi Huahuang: Collect one hundred types of special metals and evolve into a Jinguang Jianchi Huahuang within a Refined Gold vein.】

【Evolution Route 2: Exotic Beast Ripper: Collect the blood from the hearts of one hundred different Exotic Beasts and apply it to one's own body to enhance one's strength and evolve into a tyrant killer with only wildness.】

"This is clearly a cavity; how come other Breeders couldn't diagnose it?"

"Chairman of the Zuoweihui, if others couldn't see it, could you not see it either?"

Ye Bai said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"I saw it; it is a cavity."

"But this is not an ordinary cavity; the surgery is very difficult."

"The teeth of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor are already sturdy enough, and that Parasite living on its tooth is just like a drill, drilling until the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor is bleeding profusely, making it suffer in agony."

"Other Breeders are afraid of being directly killed by the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor, so they dare not take action."

Ye Bai's mouth twitched: "They dare not take action, but do you think I dare to?"

"That is a Seven-Tier Peak Pet Beast."

Song Fu'an wore an expression of 'I know your background, kid,' so stop pretending.

"A Seven-Tier Peak Pet Beast?"

"That doesn't count for much."

"You once assisted a Thunder White Tiger in giving birth, and that Thunder White Tiger was even more ferocious than the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor."

"So I think treating the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor will not be too difficult for you."

"And other Breeders do not have your strength, nor do they have your courage."

Song Fu'an had investigated Ye Bai thoroughly, except for the aspect of him being one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

"Fine, let me see just how hard it is to pull this tooth of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor."

The Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor was currently suffering in agony.

The heart-piercing pain of the tooth drilled directly into its mind.

It was in so much pain that it wished it could burrow into the ground and roll around.

"Sun Flower Fairy, use Paralysis Powder."

The Sun Flower Fairy was proficient in various wood-type support skills.

The tiny Paralysis Powder fell onto the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor, and the Saber-Toothed Tiger Emperor instantly entered a paralyzed state.

It fell to the ground with a thud, its mouth wide open, its body convulsing involuntarily, looking very frightened.
