After the cubs had completely accepted the special food that was not delicious or fragrant, although they showed obvious reluctance to leave, He Mo still left cruelly because there were more exotic beasts that needed him and were suffering.
During this process, Meng Bai suddenly realized that if he wanted the cubs to better inherit their innate talents, he must not over-indulge them. From then on, Meng Bai began to subconsciously train the cubs in their free time. Later, this group of cubs became the main force of the Fifth Legion, making immortal contributions to the later interstellar exploration.
He Mo did not bring the little golden lion with him. After all, the little golden lion still needed systematic guidance. He did not have time to take the little golden lion to fight in the forest of exotic beasts. He could only let the mature exotic beasts in the military camp teach the little golden lion the exotic beasts' fighting skills and the use of their innate abilities.
The little golden lion has powerful energy in its body, and it needs more exercise to use this energy more flexibly.
The ward where He Mo was being treated was right next to Zhong Qing's. It was a very large space with a silver-white base. Huge cages made of special materials were arranged in an orderly manner. These cages were set up to prevent the alien beasts from killing each other. After being infected by the dark energy, the alien beasts could not distinguish between friend and foe. If a group of infected alien beasts were put together, it would definitely become a hell on earth.
In addition to the cage, there is also a specially made nursing bed, which is naturally much more advanced than the one Xiao Mo bought before. The financial resources spent on this area are more than enough to build ten expensive mechas.
After carefully looking around, He Mo found no loopholes and felt relieved. If there were no accidents, it could be used today. After all, starting work earlier would allow him to treat the infected beasts earlier.
He Mo turned around and prepared to go talk to Zhong Qing about this. Before he got close, his sensitive facial features heard what happened in Zhong Qing's conference room.
Several people in military uniforms slammed the table and shouted angrily, their faces red and necks thick. He Mo stopped and listened carefully. His expression changed subtly. These people were actually arguing about him.
Adjutant Cheng stood behind the impassive Zhong Qing, his expression serious, but he rolled his eyes inwardly. Why should the other legions interfere in the Fifth Legion's affairs?! They just couldn't stand the general and were looking for an opportunity to criticize him, as if no one knew what they were up to.
"Zhong Qing, I know that, logically, we shouldn't get involved in these matters, but the war is imminent, you can't do such a thing for your sweetheart." Li Chenghu, general of the Second Legion. Their Li family was originally the last of the second families in the Central Star, and it was only with Li Chenghu in charge of the Second Legion that they were able to maintain their glory. After Zhong Qing's strong rise, the Zhong family's power and industry came from behind. In this world, either you have more or I have less. The Zhong and Li families once had a dirty dispute over the auction of a piece of land. The Li family was exposed to a bribery scandal, and the Zhong family took the opportunity to take it down. For this, the Li family has always held a grudge and would cause trouble for the Zhong family from time to time. This time was no exception. General Li Chenghu of the Second Legion was the first to jump out.
"That's right." The general of the First Legion did not come. The one who came was the deputy general Ouyang Cheng, the second-in-command of the First Legion. Zhong Qing had served in the First Legion before taking charge of the Fifth Legion. Therefore, the Fifth Legion and the First Legion have close ties, and many senior executives of the Fifth Legion are from the First Legion.
But unexpectedly, the First Legion, which had always supported the Fifth Legion, also expressed opposition this time in a rare move.
Ouyang Cheng had been Zhong Qing's direct superior, and the two had always been frank with each other. Ouyang Cheng's words were quick and blunt, hinting at a sense of disappointment. Spending lavishly on a beloved was not something Zhong Qing would do, but this time he actually did it, wasting money and resources to please his fiancé. Even Ouyang Cheng, who had always admired Zhong Qing, couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Zhong Qing, the safety of millions of people in the Federation depends on us. You must remember this."
Also coming at the same time was Zhou Yan, the Chief of Staff of the Fourth Legion. He was a cunning old fox who never cared about worldly affairs. This time he came to the Fifth Legion because of this matter. Zhong Qing found it a bit unexpected.
Zhou Yan was sitting there drinking tea, as if he had come to a tea party, and he was always smiling as he watched the other people arguing with each other.
General Chen Ze of the Seventh Legion was a staid man, always maintaining a neutral stance. However, today, he sided with Zhong Qing, a rare move, and argued in his favor. "Although Zhong Qing isn't as old as us, he's a cautious man. I believe he wouldn't deceive us on such a major matter."
"That's easy to say." General Li Chenghu of the Second Legion said with a forced smile, "The Federation's top talents have been researching for decades without any breakthroughs. Do you think a teenager in his twenties can solve this major problem that has plagued the Federation for so long?"
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. How can we jump to conclusions without even trying? No matter what, as long as there's even a sliver of effect, it's a breakthrough." General Chen Ze of the Seventh Legion said this with a straight face. He then fixed Zhong Qing with a burning gaze and asked, "Zhong Qing, tell me the truth. How confident are you that you can cure the invasion of dark energy?"
Zhong Qing tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger. He paused and said calmly, "One hundred percent."
"Don't brag in advance." Li Chenghu, general of the Second Legion, curled his lips and secretly sent a message with his right hand.
"Zhong Qing." Ouyang Cheng's face was solemn. "This is not something to be joked about. You should know how serious this relationship is."
"If there is even a trace of falsehood in what I said, I am willing to take full responsibility for it." Zhong Qing answered sharply, without any hesitation. He knew Xiao Mo's ability well, which was mysterious and powerful. If Xiao Mo said that he could cure these infected beasts, then he could definitely do it.
"Okay, in that case." Ouyang Cheng said thoughtfully, "I remember that there are many beasts infected with dark energy in the beast prison. We can try it with beasts with lower infection levels first." Ouyang Cheng has watched Zhong Qing grow up since he was a child, so he naturally knows him quite well. Before, he thought that Zhong Qing created such a treatment room just to win a beauty's smile. Now it seems that maybe there really is some trick in it. In this case, he is willing to believe the child he has watched grow up.
"Don't bother. I've already sent over an infected beast." Li Chenghu suddenly said, "Our army captured a growing Hell Python two days ago. We found it to be extremely violent. After testing, we found it to be infected with dark energy. Since Zhong Qing is so confident, let's use it for the experiment."
"General Li, you're really creative." Before anyone else could say anything, Zhou Yan, the Chief of Staff of the Fourth Legion, who seemed to be joining in the fun, suddenly spoke up: "How can an infected wild beast compare to a contracted beast?"
Compared with wild beasts, the mental power of contracted beasts is gentler. Although their consciousness is violent, their destructive power is only half of that of wild beasts. The mental power required to treat wild beasts is twice that of contracted beasts. Treating contracted beasts is already quite difficult, let alone wild beasts.
Li Chenghu wasn't angry. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yan with fear, his tone slowing down. "Zhong Qing is so confident, I'm just going along with it." He felt a little annoyed. Zhou Yan, who never got involved in matters, suddenly spoke up for Zhong Qing. Could it be that the Fourth Legion was secretly allying with the Fifth Legion? Li Chenghu narrowed his eyes, his expression grim. Zhong Qing already had the support of the First Legion, and now, the usually neutral Chen Ze had bucked his trend and supported Zhong Qing. If the Fourth Legion also supported Zhong Qing, he would definitely return home empty-handed.
"Haha. With so many people here, can't we subdue a growing hell python?" Yu Changhe, Chief of Staff of the Ninth Corps, said with a smile. Yu Changhe has always been a smiling tiger. He seemed to be rescuing the siege, but in fact he still approved of Li Chenghu's behavior.
The Ninth Legion is the weakest among the ten legions. It has been able to develop steadily with the help of the First and Second Legions, but its overall strength is still not as good as the Fifth Legion, which came later. The Ninth Legion has always coveted the talents of the Fifth Legion, but because of the First Legion, it dared not move. However, if there is a chance, it will definitely take a big bite out of the Fifth Legion.
Zhou Yan, who was drinking tea, paused and looked at Li Chenghu and Yu Changhe calmly. Some people just couldn't see the situation clearly, and he disdained to associate with them. What kind of person was Zhong Qing? How could he make up such nonsense? As for spending military funds to win a beauty's smile, it was nonsense. These two people were destined to fail, and they might even have to beg Zhong Qing for help.
However, if not... he would never have imagined that such a master existed in the world. No, perhaps Zhong Qing's fiancé had already surpassed the category of a master of mental power.
If he had the chance, he would definitely invite this master to the Fourth Legion to teach those useless juniors.
After the decision was made, General Chen Ze of the Seventh Legion felt a little uneasy. Although there was not much expression on his face, everyone present was a smart man, and no one could fail to see Chen Ze's anxiety.
What's going on? Li Chenghu had the impression that Chen Ze had never been impatient. He was a little confused and immediately sent an order to his subordinates to investigate.
Zhou Yan was still drinking tea attentively. Others might not know about Chen Ze's affairs, but he knew them very well.
Although Chen Ze is a bit old-fashioned, he loves his only grandson very much. In the previous war, his grandson's strange beast was infected with dark energy. If it was an ordinary strange beast, it would be fine, but the properties of Chen Ze's grandson's strange beast were extremely strange. If one was not careful, both the man and the beast would most likely die immediately.
For the sake of his grandson, Chen Ze came to him for help, but after seeing it, he could only shake his head. Although his mental power was among the best in the Federation, he was really stretched to the limit in treating this kind of strange beast.
Although this extremely strange beast can resist the dark energy on its own, it has gradually lost control over the years. If it does not receive treatment, both the man and the beast will not survive.
No wonder Chen Ze stood on Zhong Qing's side this time, contrary to his usual behavior. He was indeed an old man who worked hard to cure his grandchildren. He himself had grandchildren and understood that feeling very clearly.
Since the matter had been agreed upon, several military leaders sat there in silence. Zhong Qing was unable to extricate himself and asked Adjutant Cheng to inform Xiao Mo about the incident. Even if a growing Hell Python was infected with dark energy, he was confident that he could completely control it and ensure Xiao Mo's safety. In order to ensure both sides, Zhong Qing asked Adjutant Cheng to bring the contracted beast of the Fifth Legion that was least infected with dark energy.
Zhong Qing’s only worry was that the mental power of wild beasts was more difficult to tame than that of contracted beasts. However, as long as Xiao Mo showed the ability to treat dark energy, even if it was a contracted beast, these high-ranking officials would immediately treat Xiao Mo as a guest of honor.
He Mo heard the whole process of Zhong Qing's instructions:
Zhong Qing underestimated his abilities.
Obsidian yawned out of boredom in mid-air and squinted his eyes: You are a bunch of ignorant and stupid federal people. My contractors have extraordinary abilities, which are beyond the imagination of you mere mortals. If it weren't for the fear of being contaminated by cause and effect, let alone the contracted beasts infected by dark energy, he and Xiao Mo could even wipe out this group of stinky Zergs.
But it's still good for a snack. Obsidian smacked his lips with the aftertaste, and then he felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. Never mind, he decided to take a nap first.
