Subduing Exotic Beasts
* * *: Which brother still has * * *? I really need it! Thank you, everyone!
Following the map Windchime had given him, Xia Fei very quickly found Bai Hao's house. Wealthy families were usually used to living in fortresses, with their ceilings installed with high-strength glass. This would not only block the wind and sand, but it would also not obstruct sunlight from entering the yard. As a local tycoon, Bai Hao's house was naturally the same.
After seeing so many slums, Bai Hao's incomparably extravagant residence could not help but light up. The sand had dyed the walls yellow, making it impossible to tell what color it was originally. The castle was forty-five meters tall, and the messy decorations were all crammed together. There was nothing tasteful about it, very much in line with the temperament of a nouveau riche.
Xia Fei leaped over the wall and arrived at the top of the castle. He saw four men dressed in heavy sandproof suits huddled together. The wind and sand were very strong, and these people were constantly gesticulating with their hands, occasionally spitting out a few profanities.
Using Breath Control, Xia Fei silently flashed past the four men, opened the thick windproof door at the top of the stairs, and entered the interior of the castle.
The two walls were made of rock, and there were many elegant paintings of famous people hanging on them. A luxurious crystal chandelier hung overhead, and even the stone steps were decorated with shiny ores.
Taking off the scarf around his neck, Xia Fei walked down the stairs, all the way to the banquet hall on the second floor. Two guards with guns slung over their backs stood lazily at the entrance, and there were sounds of extravagance coming from inside.
A maid carrying a silver tray walked out of the banquet hall. The tray was filled with meat and bones.
The bodyguard with the ponytail walked over and pinched the maid's butt. The maid hurriedly jumped to the side, looking at the bodyguard with her almond-shaped eyes as she coquettishly said, "Annoying."
"Beauty, where are you going?"
The almond-eyed maid twisted her waist and said flirtatiously, "Master Bai wants me to take these leftover bones and meat to feed that big cat in the dungeon."
The bodyguard with the ponytail laughed. "Beauty, that's no cat in the dungeon. It's a real exotic beast. You must be careful. Don't get eaten by that ferocious fellow."
With that said, this perverted bodyguard acted like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. A pair of thick palms reached for the maid's chest, grabbing and kneading those soft things.
"What are you doing?" The maid's heart was tickled by the bodyguard, and she finally got rid of the entanglement with great difficulty. She gave the bodyguard a flirtatious smile and walked down with the plate.
Seeing that the maid had left, the two bodyguards gathered together to chat, feeling bored. Xia Fei snuck away from their blind spot, not making a sound.
The path to the dungeon was much darker. The lights flickered, and the deeper they went, the more unbearable the smell became.
Spiritshadow frowned. "How could that Bai fellow leave the Gilded Greenface in such a filthy place? Greenfaces love cleanliness and can't stand dirt. If he does this, he'll drive it crazy. If it breaks out of its cage in a moment of desperation, I'd like to see how he'll deal with it."
Xia Fei replied, "How many people in this world truly understand the habits of exotic beasts? I can only hope that this Greenface beast doesn't get too angry, or else even if I use the Beast Spirit Codex to subdue it, it'll take a lot of effort."
Before he could finish his words, there was a faint roar from the ground. The maid walking in front couldn't help but cover her ears with one hand and looked around in panic. Her face turned pale and the little flame that was just provoked by the ponytail bodyguard couldn't help but dim down.
"Mommy," the maid said with lingering fear. The maid said with lingering fear in her heart. She tiptoed and ran to place the tray on a stone table. Then, she hurriedly knocked on one of the doors in the dungeon and quickly turned around to leave.
Xia Fei was hiding in the shadows, so the maid did not notice him at all.
About two minutes later, an alloy door suddenly opened, and a big bald head popped out to take a look. Seeing that there were some bones and meat on the stone table, he licked his big belly and came to the table. The stone table picked up the plate and shouted, "If you keep shouting, I won't give you any food!"
"Awooo!"
Exotic beasts were intelligent, and when they heard that the bald man was threatening them with food, they roared even louder than before.
Xia Fei shook his head. Exotic beasts were not kittens or puppies raised at home, especially high-level exotic beasts like the Gilded Greenface. Their intelligence was comparable to that of humans, and most exotic beasts were very upright and would never accept food given out of hand. The bald man's words were like pouring oil on the fire, and the Gilded Greenface in the cage was undoubtedly going crazy.
* Zing ~ *
By the time the bald man reacted, the cold Lifeseeker Bone was already pressed against his neck. Xia Fei said nothing, indicating that he should continue forward.
This dungeon was very spacious, but he was the only one standing guard.
* Slash! *
A sharp knife slit the bald man's throat, but not a single sound could be heard.
The silver plate in the bald man's left hand quickly slid down, and Xia Fei nimbly caught it with a flick of his wrist.
After placing the corpse on the ground, Xia Fei entered the room to observe the Gilded Greenface.
It looked like a giant cat, its body covered in golden veins, but its face was green.
"Not bad. This is the exotic beast Gilded Greenface, a combination of ice and fire. Its golden eyes can unleash fire-type attacks, and its mouth can unleash a temperature close to absolute zero. This Greenface hasn't matured yet, which is why it was captured. Once it matures, it'll need at least an Eternal rank expert to contend against it," Phantom excitedly said.
The Gilded Greenface very quickly sensed the danger Xia Fei was in. It slowly retreated, whimpering.
"It's afraid! This exotic beast is very perceptive and has sensed that you're even more dangerous than the previous guards. It's threatening and pleading at the same time. " The more Phantom looked at it, the more he liked it. The higher the rank of an exotic beast, the more human-like it was, and its behavior was similar to that of a human's.
Xia Fei squatted down so that his gaze was at the same level as the beast. This was a technique used to communicate with exotic beasts. No exotic beast liked the feeling of being looked down upon.
"I'm going to try to use the Beast Spirit Codex to establish a connection with it. I don't know if this cub can withstand the pressure of the Beast Spirit Codex," Phantom said.
"It shouldn't be a problem. Although it's young, its body isn't small, and its bones and muscles are relatively sturdier. Hurry up and subdue it so that we can leave this cursed place."
Xia Fei nodded, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp!
Through Xia Fei's eyes, a large amount of information was sent into the Gilded Greenface's mind and began to corrode it.
The Gilded Greenface paused, curious about the other thoughts that had suddenly appeared in its mind.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
It quickly realized that this consciousness was not friendly and was trying to control its thoughts!
The Gilded Greenface immediately counterattacked, attempting to drive Xia Fei's consciousness out of its mind!
The man and beast were motionless, but the calm air was filled with restlessness. Neither side was willing to give way, using the Greenface's mind as a battlefield as they engaged in a fierce battle!
Xia Fei took a deep breath. The Greenface was still young, and too much of the battle in its mind might damage its brain. The battle had to end immediately!
'Beast Spirit Codex stage 2!' Xia Fei mentally called out.
In an instant, the amount of information that Xia Fei was pouring into the Gilded Greenface's mind suddenly multiplied, and the increased pressure caused both Xia Fei and the Greenface to start panting heavily.
…
Ten-some minutes later, the Gilded Greenface in the cage had become abnormally docile, making all sorts of fawning gestures toward Xia Fei through the bars.
Xia Fei was speechless. He stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead as he muttered, "Why does this fellow like to kiss ass just like Furball?"
Phantom was still immersed in the excitement of subduing the Gilded Greenface. He nodded and said, "Perhaps it's because they're both exotic beasts."
Xia Fei rolled his eyes at Phantom. His explanation was clearly not reliable.
"You've only cultivated the Beast Spirit Codex to stage 3, so you can barely subdue exotic beasts of this level. You'll need to work harder. Don't forget that there's still a Thanatosis-class carrier waiting for you in the Wild Star Region. That's a carrier! A true capital ship! Just the drones it sends out can drown the enemy! " Gui Ying described it exaggeratedly.
Xia Fei stroked his chin with his right hand. "You're right. I've already obtained the military's A-list supplier status. Perhaps I really can apply for a capital ship license, but before that, I'll need to think of a way to take care of that annoying Blackstar Phantom Bat."
Not just anyone could have a capital ship, for its strategic significance was far too great. It was a symbol of strength and status!
Xia Fei had just obtained a cruiser license and a small-scale armed force license. At most, he could establish a cruiser fleet of his own, but as Quantum Holdings developed, obtaining a capital ship license was not impossible. Even if he could not establish a capital ship fleet, there was still hope for him to own one or two capital ships in his own name.
That flawless Thanatosis-class carrier was so powerful and beautiful that Xia Fei would often dream of it.
However, the thought of that crazy Blackstar Phantom Bat made Xia Fei and Phantom grimace. The terror of that evil creature could not be described with words. Last time, Xia Fei had barely escaped from its maw. If he wanted to subdue it, he would need to be fully prepared.
"I'm not telling you to immediately run off to the Wild Star Region to fight the Blackstar Phantom Bat. I'm just reminding you to be prepared. Ever since you returned from Heritage Planet, your strength is far greater than before. Now that you've become an A-list supplier for the military, your hardware is also gradually maturing. You couldn't beat the Blackstar Phantom Bat in the past, and even if you did, you wouldn't be able to get a capital ship license, but things are completely different now," Phantom said.
Xia Fei nodded and sternly said, "I understand what you're saying. Killing the Blackstar Phantom Bat and obtaining the Thanatosis-class carrier is a big project that requires a lot of preparation. When I get back, I'll put this plan into my schedule. Once the time is ripe, I'll immediately carry it out!"
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei's sharp Lifeseeker pierced through the Gilded Greenface's cage in just a few moves. The Greenface had just recognized a master, so it wanted to win his favor. It immediately threw itself into Xia Fei's arms, and there was no need to mention just how affectionate it was.
Xia Fei picked up the Greenface and quickly left the dungeon, preparing to return to the Impaler.
Suddenly, Xia Fei keenly noticed a black silhouette flash past the window, moving with incredible speed!
