Chapter 129

He was disheveled and filthy.

A pair of dark eye sockets made him look like a zombie.

One week

It had already been a week without sleep.

Jiangyuan City!

Tens of thousands of people had already vanished.

Tens of thousands of people had disappeared out of thin air.

As the Director of the Jiangyuan City Beast-Tamer Bureau.

He managed every affair, big and small, throughout the entire Jiangyuan City.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave.

He would have gone to investigate personally, to find out exactly what had happened.

"Director, what should we do now?"

Inside the office.

A subordinate asked Gan Chaofan.

For a long while, Gan Chaofan did not answer.

The office fell into a deathly silence.

And the subordinate didn't even dare to take a deep breath.

He knew that, during this period of time.

The Director had been under immense pressure.

Near Jinhua Street in Jiangyuan City, that Lang District has already tens of thousands of people vanished.

This had already caused enormous panic.

Countless citizens had already pressured him.

Likewise, the higher-ups had also sent a report.

Telling him to find the cause quickly.

After just a few days.

He saw that many more white hairs had appeared on Gan Chaofan's head.

"Go invite Fang Lao, Kong Lao, and the others!"

After a long while, Gan Chaofan finally said sternly.

"But, Fang Lao, Kong Lao haven't already…."

The subordinate said, somewhat uncertainly.

"I'll go personally!"

Hearing the hesitation in his subordinate's tone.

Gan Chaofan exhaled deeply and said.

In their Jiangyuan City, there were also Platinum-rank Beast-Tamers stationed.

They were people from their Jiangyuan City Beast-Tamer Bureau.

Only later, they had already reached retirement age.

So now they were just peacefully living out their retirement in Jiangyuan City.

Now that such a major incident had occurred in Jiangyuan City.

He had to invite them to come.

This matter had already been reported to the higher-ups, but the higher-ups' personnel allocation was also very tight.

Deploying high-rank Beast-Tamers over here,.

Also required time.

Now!

Over in Lang District, thousands of people vanished every day.

Every day, that number was still growing explosively.

In other words, every day of delay.

Could mean thousands, or even tens of thousands, more people vanishing.

As the Director of the Jiangyuan City Beast-Tamer Bureau, he could not just watch so many people perish.

……

"We understand!"

"This matter, we'll go investigate!"

"The location is Lang District, right!"

Not long after, two elderly men of venerable age said sternly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Fang Lao, Kong Lao!"

Gan Chaofan said respectfully with a cupped-fist salute.

"Protecting the people of Jiangyuan City is the duty of every member of our Beast-Tamer Bureau!"

"We were members of the Beast-Tamer Bureau before, we are now, and we will be in the future!"

"You need say no more!!"

"For the dignity of Jiangyuan City!"

The two elderly men said earnestly.

……

These past few days!

The people of Holy Dragon Village stared in shock toward the direction of the Holy Dragon Beast Hall.

Because!

Behind the Holy Dragon Beast Hall.

A towering great tree, several hundred meters tall, had suddenly appeared.

Lush and verdant, as if that single tree alone had formed a small forest.

This tree had appeared overnight.

"What is that?"

"Has a divine miracle appeared once again?"

"Nonsense. This must be a tree the Beast God my lord planted a thousand years ago — it just suddenly grew!"

"Then tell me, what kind of fertilizer did this tree use to grow this big, this tall in a single day — Jin Ke La?"

"What do you know! Who can fathom the affairs of the Beast God my lord!"

"Maybe he's still secretly sleeping in some corner of the Holy Dragon Beast Hall, mm!"

"Occasionally coming out to protect little Xuan of the Holy Dragon Beast Hall, and the rest of us in Holy Dragon Village!"

"I say you lot should stop blowing hot air. I bet little Xuan got some miraculous beast-companion, and that thing is his beast-companion!"

"But with a body that big, it must be really powerful. Maybe the Beast God my lord saw his descendant little Xuan wasn't living up to expectations, so he sent him a powerful beast-companion!"

"Hey, Old He, your version sounds a bit more believable!"

…

"Brother Chen Xuan, how did a tree this big suddenly grow at your place!"

Inside the Holy Dragon Beast Hall, the children had gathered together.

Listening to Chen Xuan talk about the knowledge of raising beast-companions.

Now only one child from the village, a boy called Xiaohu, had yet to leave.

Unlike the other children, he was even more eager for knowledge about beast-companions.

He was a child who was wholly determined to become a beast-tamer.

After that incident with the Holy Dragon Fairy Spirit, the neighboring villages had all sent their children here.

That did make the Holy Dragon Beast Hall lively and bustling throughout the day.

Of course!

This sort of work, like being a nanny looking after children.

The villagers felt bad about it too, so every day they brought Chen Xuan quite a lot of food and drink.
