Inside the hollowed-out artificial mountain.
The space is filled with light, even though it is large, because the white tiles are irregularly laid all around and the lights are inserted in the gaps.
After a brief moment of shock at the dragon beast, the three noticed that there were no cages or similar structures around it.
Obviously, that thing was of no use to the dragon beast.
"How did you put it to sleep?" Xu Ruiling asked curiously.
Shangwu pointed to the shackles wrapped around the dragon beast's neck: "It should be that thing."
"What is that?" Qin Sheng asked suspiciously. "Aren't dragon beasts supposed to be very powerful? How come they're trapped by an iron chain?"
"I don't know the specifics, but it's said to be the result of a research institute that can put alien beasts into a deep sleep."
Shangwu explained, "But this thing seems to be very precious. I only know of about three or four of them."
"So little?" Xu Ruiling asked in surprise.
"It might be a technical issue; I'm not sure."
Qin Sheng looked at the iron chain thoughtfully; this was a valuable item.
Whether viewed from a scientific research perspective or from the perspective of the function of this iron chain, this thing is very good.
If it were even more effective, it would be even more amazing if it could put the Taotie to sleep directly.
"Taotie, how are you feeling? Have you recovered?" Qin Sheng asked casually.
"It has recovered to thirty percent." Taotie paused and asked, "Master, where are you now? Why do I sense a hint of danger?"
"Um?"
Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment. Danger?
His gaze swept around, wondering if his identity had been exposed and a demigod was right above him.
However, in that case, the Taotie would probably be furious, not in any danger.
Here, Shang Wu and Xu Ruiling certainly wouldn't be able to make Taotie feel any danger, and the dragon beasts weren't strong enough either.
Then there's only one option...
Iron chains!
Qin Sheng's gaze turned somewhat serious; it seemed he had underestimated the research institute.
I thought this iron chain could only restrain level nine dragon beasts, and would have no effect on nightmare or calamity-level monsters.
After all, if this works, wouldn't it mean that this iron chain can indiscriminately trap people at the king level?
But now, Taotie says it senses danger.
This suggests that the chains might also have the same effect on the Venerable One!
I never expected that finding the dragon would lead to such a pleasant surprise.
It seems the chains will have to be taken with them too.
"Stay here," Shangwu said. "Someone will contact us after things are dealt with outside."
Xu Ruiling nodded. Although Qin Sheng was there, he had promised not to lay a hand on Shang Wu.
That's enough.
"Dragon beast."
Qin Sheng sighed softly, "Just standing here makes me feel the danger. No wonder it's a dragon beast."
Shangwu nodded: "After all, this is a dragon beast, which is the top race among exotic beasts."
Xu Ruiling looked at the dragon beast and said, "Is the dragon beast like any other strange beast, without intelligence?"
"The same."
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "Aside from the Taotie of the Creation Cult, there shouldn't be any other beasts with intelligence."
"Creativity Education..."
Xu Ruiling's gaze was slightly unfocused as she asked, "The Creation Cult is so powerful, is it possible for them to completely eliminate the alien beasts?"
"Perhaps." Shangwu knew what she meant, "But it's impossible now."
"Why?"
"Because of demigods."
Xu Ruiling didn't know what a demigod was, so Shang Wu explained it to them.
"this..."
Shang Wu looked at Xu Ruiling, who seemed hesitant to speak, and reminded her, "So, until the Creation Cult can deal with the demigods, they have to keep hiding."
"Okay," Xu Ruiling replied softly.
"A demigod."
Qin Sheng said leisurely, "Since there are demigods, could there really be gods?"
"No difference."
Since they were bored anyway, the three of them started discussing the topic of God.
However, the three of them were quite in agreement: gods are most likely nonexistent, and even if they exist, it's beyond their imagination.
Time passed slowly, and while chatting, Qin Sheng also kept an eye on the situation outside.
Cao Guangxing handled the situation very well.
The number of alien beasts teleported in by the Taotie is gradually decreasing. Even some troublesome alien beasts are being held back, preventing them from leaving District 11.
According to some believers, no strange beasts had entered the city from the other side of the city wall.
It seems that the Venerable One who was teleported away has returned.
Qin Sheng was not surprised at all by this.
Taotie's spatial abilities are divided into two types. One type has a shorter distance and allows for arbitrary control of the landing point, which is the means of teleporting other beasts.
It originated from that strange beast in the Silver Forest.
Another type is one that you don't know what you ate to acquire it, and it's randomly teleported.
This random gluttonous beast cannot be controlled by itself, but it is estimated that some guy can influence it.
The distances people are teleported to are not too far, and Qin Sheng has gotten used to it.
It should be about time.
If Cao Guangxing suspects Xu Ruiling and Shang Wu, then the people testing them should have arrived by now.
Qin Sheng took the initiative to start the conversation.
"What exactly does this Taotie you're talking about look like?"
"A Taotie," Shangwu described its appearance briefly.
Xu Ruiling was speechless: "You asked that?"
Qin Sheng said with a playful tone, "Are you curious? Maybe I'll have a chance to meet this unique, intelligent beast, but..."
He seemed lost in thought, his gaze casually falling on the dragon beast.
"This feels kind of familiar..."
Shang Wu rolled his eyes: "Familiar? You don't mean you've actually seen it before."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "But you really do have a chance to meet him. Who knows, the leader of the Creation Cult might be in District 11."
"And Taotie has been following the leader all along. When you meet the leader, you will also be able to see him."
"Is that so...?"
Qin Sheng, who resembled Shen Qing, frowned, as if trying hard to recall something.
Taotie moved something in its pocket, alerting him to the approaching aura of a Venerable One.
At that moment, Shen Qing, who looked like a man, suddenly realized something. Then his face froze instantly, and he opened his mouth slightly as if he had received some terrifying news.
Rumble...
The sound of the door opening rang out at that moment, and both Qin Sheng and the other man stood up abruptly, looking warily back at the way they had come.
Shang Wu glanced at Xu Ruiling, whose eyes were also serious. He wondered who the visitor was.
This relieved him, and his gaze fell heavily on the doorway.
If the person who comes is one of our own and has no signs of fighting, then Xu Ruiling's suspicions will be basically cleared this time.
Conversely, Xu Ruiling would likely be treated as a religious follower.
If it comes to that time...
Shangwu took a deep breath; the time had come to witness the result.
"I'm glad you're safe."
A figure walked in, showing no signs of battle, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked at the three of them.
Shangwu let out a breath of relief, finally putting his mind at ease.
Xu Ruiling was also pleasantly surprised.
"Dean Mo!"
