Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 606 - 280: The Whereabouts of Spring Ginseng! Success on the First Day?
"Heavenly Mountain, one of the largest wild Pet Beast habitats in the Dragon Nation’s interior, is substantial even within the nation."
In the car, Su Ping and Rong Mang observed the passing scenery. Rong Mang, smiling, introduced some details about Heavenly Mountain to Su Ping while watching his expression.
"Compared to places like Yunmeng Lake and Kunlun Mountain, which are rarely tread by human feet, Heavenly Mountain, this so-called wild park located within Beiyuan Province, is far less dangerous than the others. Its preservation is purely because the number of Beast Tamers in Beiyuan Province and the Dragon Nation’s Northern Border region is relatively low. The entire Beiyuan Province doesn’t require that much land or urban development, so preserving such a natural wild park is quite reasonable. Moreover, it’s an excellent location for Legion drills and for Beast Tamers to hunt."
Su Ping nodded slightly; his opinion of Rong Mang had somewhat improved. However, Su Ping knew that as Rong Xia’s eldest son, and reputedly one of the most promising young talents of his generation, losing a position for an Egg of the Five Saints would have a tremendous impact on him.
What surprised Su Ping even more was that as the vehicle slowly made its way toward the Heavenly Mountain boundary, a continuous small town unexpectedly appeared at the foot of the mountains.
Rong Mang continued, "This environment has led to the development of real estate businesses and related industries around the wild park. There are quite a few border towns responsible for supplies. Many Beast Tamers emerge from successful expeditions within the park to trade their hauls in these borderlands."
As he spoke, Rong Mang waved out of the car window, "Uncle Sun!"
The man addressed as Uncle Sun, who appeared to be a captain leading a group in Law Enforcement Office uniforms, chuckled and waved back, "Young Master Rong, here to comb the mountain again, huh? If you find any good resources, be sure to let us brothers take a look and broaden our horizons!"
Clearly, as a scion of the Rong Family, Rong Mang was very familiar with Heavenly Mountain; he had obviously visited many times.
Su Ping nodded.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the Heavenly Mountain border region, Su Ping summoned Xiao Qing.
"Cousin, that’s the Forest Wolf Pet Beast you originally had, right? To think it reached Commanding Rank in less than a year... that’s truly humbling," Rong Mang remarked with a smile after a glance.
Su Ping nodded again, though his mind was elsewhere. He shook his head.
By the time Su Ping snapped out of his thoughts, the vehicle had reached the entrance to Heavenly Mountain Wild Park, located at the edge of the small town.
"Xiao Ping, we’re here!" Rong Mang announced. "Driving inside Heavenly Mountain is quite troublesome, so let’s proceed on foot or ride a Pet Beast!"
"Mm."
Ever since arriving within range of Heavenly Mountain, Xiao Qing had grown increasingly agitated. Upon getting out of the car and seeing the vast forest park before it, it let out an excited howl: AWOO!
A Forest Wolf with peculiar emerald fur; the Rong Family’s young master, quite famous at the Heavenly Mountain supply station; the Rong Family’s escort team of about ten; and a stern-faced man of unknown strength who never left the two young men’s side, having summoned a high-level Golden Eagle Pet Beast. Such a group made it clear: the great young master of the Rong Family was out on another excursion, perhaps with a classmate, or maybe with a young master from another prominent family.
Su Ping paid no mind to the peculiar looks from onlookers, instead smiling as he ruffled Xiao Qing’s emerald-green fur and head. "Xiao Qing, do you remember this place?"
