Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 115: Chapter 98: Magical Beast

With the significant aid from the Lingshui City Public Security Bureau, blocking the giant waves was still a bit strenuous, but no longer a major problem.

Everyone and their pets worked together, fending off the second giant wave with some suspense but no real danger.

Seeing this, Li Qian didn’t relax. Instead, he remained vigilant, looking down from his high vantage point toward the distant hydropower station.

As it turned out, his vigilance was necessary.

In less than three minutes, another giant wave came rushing over.

”Huh~?” Li Qian couldn’t help but make a surprised sound as he looked at the incoming giant wave.

Because, visible to the naked eye, the height of the giant wave was decreasing, and its power was diminishing.

After a moment of thought, he roughly guessed the reason.

There were two likely possibilities.

First, the hydropower station’s reservoir had a finite amount of water. After two giant waves, the water level would inevitably drop, and a drop in water level naturally meant a reduction in power.

Second, it was likely that someone was fighting back at the source of the giant waves, weakening their power.

’This is a good thing!’

No matter the reason, this was definitely beneficial for Li Qian, with no downsides.

At least he wouldn’t be forced to ask Elder Tie to intervene.

He could keep Elder Tie, his trump card, hidden for a while longer.

Besides, Elder Tie’s duty was to protect him. Making him act on something not directly related to his safety would mean owing him a favor.

He frowned, not dwelling on it. Seeing the third giant wave approach—even if it was a weaker version—Li Qian still gave a stern warning, ”Careful, the third wave is coming.”

”Damn, is there no end to this!” Zhou Weiping, who was quite familiar with Li Qian and had an informal personality, almost cursed out loud upon hearing this.

Seeing the grim expressions on the Security Officers’ faces, Li Qian told them the truth, ”From what I can see, this one looks a little better. Its power shouldn’t be as great as the last one.”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

A moment later, the giant wave swept in. Just as Li Qian had said, its power was significantly weaker.

Its height was only about forty meters.

Once again, everyone brought out their unique talents. A dazzling array of Skills rained down, and with the eight Frostfire Salamanders’ finishing Frost Breaths, they blocked it yet again.

And compared to the first two times, it was obviously much easier.

After two consecutive rounds, they had witnessed the power of the Frostfire Salamanders. Moreover, these Frostfire Salamanders were all uncontracted. To the Security Officers, they were no less attractive than eight peerless beauties.

Knowing that their Public Security Bureau had entered into a partnership with Li Qian’s Cultivation Base, it was inevitable that they would feel envious.

After all, these were Frostfire Salamanders with Tier Nine Dominator Potential!

Of course, if they really couldn’t get a Frostfire Salamander, the other subject of the partnership—the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon with Tier Five Dominator Potential—was also a good choice.

But, envious as they were, they also knew that this was not the time to be discussing such things.

The top priority was to resolve the current wave crisis and save all of Lingshui City.

After fending off the third wave’s assault, some time passed before the fourth wave swept in.

As expected, the power of this fourth wave had once again decreased significantly.

Everyone worked together and got through it with even greater ease.

After overcoming this wave, the director of the Public Security Bureau, Peng Zhongyan, glanced toward the hydropower station and suggested, ”Should we go take a look?”

His words were clearly directed at Li Qian.

As for his own subordinates, there was no need to ask; he could just give them a direct order.

The reason for asking Li Qian’s opinion was simple: he valued the five Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons and eight Frostfire Salamanders at Li Qian’s command.

At a time like this, thirteen Elite Level Pet Beasts with Dominator Potential were a force not to be underestimated.

”Alright, let’s go take a look.” Li Qian was also quite curious about what was happening at the hydropower station, so after a moment of thought, he nodded and agreed.

Having made a decision, the group wasted no time and set off.

They headed straight for the hydropower station, prepared to work together to block any waves they encountered along the way.

With the waves growing weaker and weaker, blocking them wasn’t difficult, even as they got closer to the source.

In fact, after they weathered just three more assaults, the waves disappeared completely.

The distance from the water slide to the West Suburb hydropower station wasn’t very far. Before long, they arrived.

”ROAR—!”

They had only just drawn near when a roar suddenly erupted, blasting into their ears.

VWOOM—!

The roar was like a clap of muffled Thunder, striking heavily in Li Qian’s mind. He felt a wave of dizziness and almost collapsed on the spot.

’Terrifying!’

When he came to his senses, a storm of shock raged in Li Qian’s heart.

’What kind of Extraordinary Creature could be this terrifying? To shake my very spirit and make me feel faint with just a single roar.’

Shaking his head to clear it, Li Qian quickly scanned his surroundings. He then realized he wasn’t the only one who had felt faint or was staggering; several of the Security Officers who had come with them were in the same state.

Director Peng Zhongyan, Captain Zhou Weiping, and the few remaining officers, however, seemed unaffected.

Li Qian guessed that one needed at least Commander Level Spiritual Power to resist such a sudden roar.

The arrival of Li Qian and the group from the Lingshui City Public Security Bureau near the hydropower station immediately drew a host of gazes.

Among them were Chu Xiran, Zhu Bingqing, and Niu Fenjin.

Seeing the five Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragons and eight Frostfire Salamanders circling Li Qian, the three were all completely shocked.

After the shock came deep worry.

Chu Xiran was the first to speak, her voice tinged with anxiety and confusion. ”Li Qian, why are you here?”

Li Qian spread his hands, a wry smile on his face. ”The waves from here nearly flooded my Cultivation Base. I had to come and see what was going on...”

Hearing this, Chujiang River turned to Li Qian and apologized awkwardly, ”Sorry about that. Uh, we’ve been doing our best to block them, but the waves were just too frequent. There were a few we just couldn’t stop.”

After Chujiang River’s explanation, Li Qian had a rough idea of the situation, but now he had even more questions. ”Teacher Chu, Teacher Zhu, and Brother Niu, what exactly is happening here?”

”It’s not something I can explain in a moment. You should leave, quickly. This is no place for you,” Zhu Bingqing said, waving her hand dismissively. She had no intention of explaining, and this really wasn’t the place for it.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...

Just as her words fell, the entire hydropower station suddenly began to shake violently, as if the earth dragon were turning over.

The feeling was unmistakable; the shaking was coming from the center of the reservoir.

”What’s happening?” Li Qian staggered and nearly fell. He looked toward the reservoir, where the water level had dropped significantly, completely bewildered.

SWOOSH!

A figure flickered!

In the blink of an eye, Elder Tie appeared beside him. His tone was grave as he said, ”A powerful Extraordinary Creature is trying to break through an Unstable Rift. From the looks of it, if it gets out, there will be a major catastrophe here.”

Seeing that Elder Tie had identified the situation at the bottom of the reservoir in a single sentence, Niu Aihua’s eyes lit up. She immediately pleaded for help, ”I implore you, senior, please lend us your aid.”

Hearing this, Elder Tie’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

’I haven’t even offered a pole and you’re already climbing it.’

He ignored Niu Aihua’s plea, his gaze fixed on the center of the reservoir, his brow tightly furrowed.

”ROAR—!”

Just then, that terrifying, heart-pounding beastly roar sounded out again.

Hearing this roar, Elder Tie’s expression turned grim. ”This kind of roar, this level of violent Energy fluctuation... This is bad. It’s a Magical Beast!”
