The news was broadcasting the war in the north. Tanks formed a cannon formation on the frontline, and rocket vehicles lined up behind the formation.
Cannonballs and missiles were launched into the sky, one by one, and then landed in the midst of the locusts in the distance. Large patches of locusts were charred by the explosion, and nearby locusts were shredded by the shrapnel.
Unlike peacetime, heroes and idols were needed in this special period! Therefore, the Allied Government promoted Monster Trainer heroes.
At the same time, the war against monsters was never covered up in this era, because the soldiers on the battlefield were all heroes who fought to protect the human race. Heroes should be treated like heroes.
Heroes could not be allowed to shed their blood on the battlefield without anyone knowing or asking about it. That was unfair to them.
They were fighting for the human race. There was no reason and no need to cover up their information.
In the news footage, one could see that the sky in the distance was dark and dense with locusts flying over. Every explosion tore a large part of the locusts apart, leaving a blank space. However, this space was quickly filled up by the locusts that came after.
As the locusts continued to approach, flamethrowers spat out tongues of flame and burned the sky.
When the yellow locusts in the sky came into contact with the flames, they instantly burst into flames like dry grass that had been ignited by gasoline.
A female reporter in professional attire appeared on the screen with a microphone in her hand. "Dear viewers, as you can see, we are at the frontline of the war. Now, the Chang 'an military has stopped the locusts outside the frontline. According to the research of Chang' an City's Monster Breeder Association, these monsters, called Dead Leaf Locusts, are extremely afraid of fire. This is good news. Based on their weakness, we have successfully stopped them outside the frontline. There are probably hundreds of millions of locusts, and each of them is 30 centimeters long. They can bite through hard wood and can fly for a short period of time …"
As the female reporter spoke, cannons roared. Cannonballs landed on the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
In the center of the Dark Ember Forest, a black gorilla felt the roar from afar. It looked at the place where the war had broken out, mumbled a few times, and then turned back to sleep.
After turning off the TV, Gao Peng logged into the monster hunting website to check the mission he had assigned. He found that the commander tier Thunder type monster core crystal had not been purchased yet. Now, he only needed one more to upgrade Da Zi.
You can't expect me to hunt them myself, right?
Gao Peng glanced at Dumb. Dumb was lying motionlessly in the living room, staring at the ceiling.
Dumb's height made it difficult for him to move freely in the living room. Now, he could only lie on the floor. Gao Peng was preparing to move the house on the agenda. He would not sell this old house. He was preparing to buy an independent villa in the suburbs. The independent villa had a garden and a basement. It would be convenient for him to do many things.
Just as Gao Peng was thinking, his phone rang. The name displayed on the screen was President Chen.
Picking up the call, President Chen's hearty laughter could be heard from the other end. "Hello, Little Gao. Have you finished your training and reached home?"
Given Director Chen's status, it was no surprise that he knew of his field training. However, Gao Peng was somewhat flattered that Director Chen had paid special attention to him.
Gao Peng nodded. "I just got home."
"Do you have time to come over to the association tomorrow? The military has shipped a new batch of Voracious Golden Toads. They want us to upgrade the quality of these Voracious Golden Toads. As time is of the essence, I have to call some people over to help. This is considered official business. The government will pay you. "
Director Chen knew Gao Peng's personality, so he directly told him that there would be a reward.
As expected, Gao Peng's eyes lit up.
"Ahem, President Chen, can you change the reward to something else? If the reward is not enough, I can pay for it myself. I want to change it to a Commander Tier Electric Monster Core Crystal, "Gao Peng said shamelessly.
"Hmm … Theoretically, you can't. However, I know some people in the military. This small matter should not be a problem," Director Chen agreed without hesitation.
It was only a Commander Tier Electric Monster Core Crystal, not a Lord Tier Electric Monster Core Crystal.
If it was the latter, he would not be able to conjure it even if you held a knife to his neck.
However, a Commander Tier Electric Monster Core Crystal was not a big problem.
Although it was rare, there were still stocks of it.
The next day, Gao Peng took a car to the suburban Monster Breeder Association in the morning.
After notifying the front desk, Director Chen quickly arrived. When he saw Gao Peng, he quickly walked up to Gao Peng and laughed heartily. He extended his right hand to Gao Peng.
Some people who knew Director Chen were shocked. They secretly sized up Gao Peng. They did not know who this young man was to be treated so well by Director Chen.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Yesterday, the military sent me two samples of the Voracious Golden Toads. Last night, I looked at them for half the night and still did not have much of a clue." Director Chen led the way. The two of them walked into the depths of the Monster Breeder Association, then took the elevator to the depths of the underground.
When they came out of the elevator, they saw an underground space the size of a football field.
This floor seemed to be built with a shockproof and explosion-proof structure. Reinforced concrete was mixed with support frames. The entire underground space gave off a rough and capable impression.
In one of the bulletproof glass walls, there were a few workstations. In front of the workstations, there were a few experimenters in white coats and masks. They were collecting data.
In the middle of the hall was a cage. In the cage was a golden toad the size of a table. The golden toad's eyes were swollen, and on its back were lumps the size of ping pong balls. The lumps were not dense, and there were not many of them. There were only a few dozen of them.
Compared to its huge size, these lumps were very few.
The most impressive part was its legs. They took up a full one-third of its body. Its huge muscles were streamlined and filled with explosive power.
Its white belly rose and fell slowly, expanding and contracting.
"The Voracious Golden Toad's leg muscles are very strong. They take up more than 40% of its body muscles. Therefore, its jumping ability is very terrifying. It can jump up to a hundred meters high. One of the Voracious Golden Toads' attacks is to jump up and use its size to crush its enemies," Director Chen said.
Gao Peng nodded. To be able to jump up to a hundred meters, its jumping ability was really terrifying.
Director Chen said regretfully, "That's why the Voracious Golden Toad would sometimes land on hard rocks and injure itself severely."
