Everyone looked at Zhou Ming with terror written across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have two choices: die, or live.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those who submit to me will have a chance to stop living like rats in these underground caves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will only tell you one thing—I need to establish a force of my own. I believe you all understand what this represents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming’s voice echoed throughout the underground dark river passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who heard these words felt light instantly fill their lifeless eyes, as though a beam of intense light tore through their ashen hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To establish a force—what did that represent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant that the lord before them was a lone operator. He needed people to work for him, people to serve him closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could join, even if they were just cleaning toilets, with time and seniority they could become the manager of toilet cleaners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, my lord, I’m willing to join.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, me too, I’m willing as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wildfolk camp, which had just fallen silent, instantly boiled over. The quick-reacting Wildfolk crawled straight to Zhou Ming’s feet, begging in the humblest posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their current state was like people about to drown, desperately grasping at the final straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who had endured suffering could truly understand the preciousness of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wildfolk—this word was an eternal thorn in their hearts, constantly stabbing at their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there was hope to shed the identity of Wildfolk. No, as long as they no longer had to live like rats, it would already be an immense blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the protection of a Professional Beast Tamer, at the very least, they could live like normal people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the noisy shouts, Zhou Ming’s voice thundered as he instantly silenced everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who can tell me who the manager of your camp is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, I know, I know. It’s One-Eyed Dragon Xiao Kuang, an Apprentice Beast Tamer. His Beast Taming partner is a Sword-tailed Lizard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker wore tattered glasses. His face was yellow and thin, yet he carried a hint of scholarly air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this heaven-sent fortune, he did not hesitate at all to become a guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, it’s One-Eyed Dragon Xiao Kuang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did everyone realize that Xiao Kuang and his lackeys were nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming did not continue questioning. He directly walked toward several wooden houses built from logs, with the dark-gold purple-patterned python following behind him like a slowly moving train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being so close to a high-tier Ferocious Beast, everyone held their breath, terrified of disturbing the giant python before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the most luxurious wooden cabin, the dark-gold purple-patterned python suddenly swung its tail, instantly destroying the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone trembled in fear, a narrow passage behind the cabin was revealed. On the ground beside it lay more than a dozen people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two women, three children, and the rest were sturdy, strong men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them were three low-tier Beasts, one of which was the Sword-tailed Lizard with its slender, agile tail and sharp, elongated blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood. Xiao Kuang had taken his brothers, along with women and children, and attempted to flee, abandoning the rest without the slightest sense of responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A streak of black light appeared. Before anyone could react, it had already coiled around Zhou Ming’s arm—it was Inkband, whose strength was close to that of a high-tier Ferocious Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely Inkband who had led the other Ironthread Snakes to intercept Xiao Kuang, who had chosen to flee at the first opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to submit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming turned his head and looked at the thin man with broken glasses who had spoken earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. I beg my lord to give me a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Tao. I was convicted of fraud involving a huge sum, exiled outside the base, and was eventually taken in by the camp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tao was very perceptive. Not only did he state his name, he also reported all other relevant information to Zhou Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you killed anyone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Tao swallowed hard, as if he had already guessed what Zhou Ming wanted him to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then kill them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming took out a Blood Hunter Type-1 Handgun and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lu Tao hesitated for only an instant before immediately accepting the handgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, could you also give me a chance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Hai—who had fainted at the camp entrance—appeared together with the other awakened hidden sentries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Zhou Ming’s orders, the toxin dosage used by Inkband had been very small. They had already awakened when the dark-gold purple-patterned python revealed its aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t run? A correct choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming carefully examined Lin Hai. Having previously overheard his conversation with Zhang Qiang, Zhou Ming had been quite impressed with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming did not explain further and simply agreed to Lin Hai’s request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhou Ming’s permission, Lin Hai wasted no words. He drew a dagger from his calf and immediately plunged it into One-Eyed Dragon Xiao Kuang’s neck. Blood sprayed out like a ruptured faucet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone compete with him for position—and even kill Xiao Kuang, the leader—Lu Tao immediately opened fire on Xiao Kuang’s woman and children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nearby could only regret why they had not dared to speak up first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity had been right before their eyes, yet they had missed it due to a moment of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opportunity for higher status—right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their regret could change nothing. When an opportunity came and was not seized, they could not blame others or circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only say that fate had decreed it so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, I’m done as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lin Hai speak, Lu Tao immediately followed, proactively returning the handgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very good. For now, the camp will be jointly managed by the two of you. Dispose of the bodies, then compile statistics on the camp’s situation. I want a detailed report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Ming did not lay out specific demands. He also intended to use this as a test of their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two replied in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>",1335,"2026-06-06T06:20:25.930Z",1,"novelbin.me","f76323dd02cd4a99391b12a0c980061c4d8af049bada6a9461826f72301159ef","beast-taming-sequence-evolution-chapter-157","beast-taming-sequence-evolution-chapter-155",251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-sequence-evolution-cover.jpg"]
