Simpson frowned, knowing that with Jin Heng Chuan Qi present, he couldn't deal with Zheng Dong. He glared fiercely at Zheng Dong and turned to leave.
He had no choice; he couldn't defeat Jin Heng Chuan Qi, and there were orders from above, so he had to let Zheng Dong and the others go.
Next, Li Yang Chuan Qi also asked Zheng Dong some questions.
However, this clone of Zheng Dong would not admit to having cracked the ruins, so Li Yang Chuan Qi didn't press further.
After all, when they finally left the ruin space, the authority of the ruin space was still in the hands of the 'Witch'.
Jin Heng Chuan Qi also chimed in:
"This kid, no matter how talented he is, is just a Master Beast Tamer. How can he deal with an Overlord-level demon?"
Li Yang Chuan Qi also felt it made sense and thought it was likely Simpson causing trouble for no reason.
They returned to the Divine Capital by chartered plane.
Li Yang Chuan Qi still had a headache about the fact that quite a few people had died this time.
The most troublesome were the deaths of Lei Tian Qi and Ye Xue Er. The Lei family and the Ye family would definitely come to him to cause trouble.
He wasn't afraid of a fight, but he was afraid of them bothering him every day.
Meanwhile, Zheng Dong's main body was still in the ruin space.
He didn't plan to come out for the time being.
He would only show himself after Li Yang Chuan Qi and the others had returned to the Divine Capital.
Now, much of the black fog around the Divine City had disappeared.
Zheng Dong was considering how to utilize this ruin space.
This ruin space was originally a divine kingdom created by a lower god angel, and its value was no less than a Mythical resource.
The ruin space contained numerous mineral veins. Even if they were exploited to the fullest, digging out all these minerals would be worth a lot of money.
If valuable transcendent plants were cultivated in large quantities within the ruin space, or if pet cub eggs were raised, it could yield considerable profits.
If his pets like Xiao Zi grew to the God level in the future, he might be able to directly use this ruin space to forge his own divine kingdom.
Of course, if Zheng Dong himself grew to become a God-level Beast Tamer, he might also be able to integrate this ruin space into his own beast-taming space, forging his own small world.
Therefore, Zheng Dong felt that this ruin space should not be over-exploited, nor should it be left undeveloped, and it should not take up too much of his time.
After thinking about it, Zheng Dong simply asked Ling'er to try to condense numerous clones.
He had these clones absorb elemental energy within the ruin space and condense Explosion Fruits.
Ling'er was now at the Monarch level, and the Explosion Fruits condensed by its clones could also injure Monarch-level transcendent creatures.
If these Explosion Fruits were sold, they should be able to earn some money.
After all, Explosion Fruits were convenient to carry, and could be used by both Beast Tamers and pets.
When using them, one only needed to detonate them with mental power.
And if he encountered trouble, he could also use them himself.
Soon, Zheng Dong cleared a piece of land outside the Divine City and planted a thousand of Ling'er's clones.
These clones would slowly absorb the elemental energy free in the air and condense Explosion Fruits.
Without affecting the internal environment of the ruin space, one Explosion Fruit could be condensed every seven days.
An Explosion Fruit could be sold online for at least 100,000 to 150,000 Dragon Yuan. A thousand fruits would be over ten million.
If operated properly, this should meet Zheng Dong's current funding needs.
The resources purchased with the earned money should be able to meet the daily consumption of pets like Xiao Zi.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
The first batch of Explosion Fruits also matured.
Zheng Dong prepared to sell them online.
Li Yang Chuan Qi and the others had also returned to the Divine Capital a few days prior.
Afterward, Zheng Dong's clone also returned to Modu University.
The matter of the Mythical Ruin Space had temporarily come to a close.
However, Zheng Dong also knew that it would be discovered sooner or later, not only by the Star Leaf Kingdom but also by other countries and Yanhuang.
Of course, he would not hand over the Mythical-level ruin space.
Afterward, Zheng Dong contacted Ning Wei.
Although it was summer vacation, Ning Wei had not returned to Rongcheng. Instead, he stayed in Modu with Yan Han.
The call was quickly connected, and Ning Wei's familiar voice came through.
"Holy crap, Brother Dong, where have you been for the past two months? Not a word!"
"I just ran into some trouble in the Star Leaf Kingdom and just got back. I want to sell some Explosion Fruits, do you have any connections?" Zheng Dong asked.
"Explosion Fruits?! How powerful are they? Why don't you sell them to me? Yan Han and I are planning to go on an outdoor training expedition," Ning Wei said.
There were many ways to conduct outdoor training: one could go alone, hire a professional team to accompany them, or join an adventure team.
This kind of training, not organized by the school, was quite dangerous. Ning Wei and Yan Han chose to find a professional team to go with, which also cost a lot of money.
"Where are you planning to go? My Explosion Fruits can injure Monarch-level transcendent creatures. If you need them, I can give you some," Zheng Dong said.
"It's not too far, just to an island in the sea near Ning City. Yan Han wants to hone her skills and find a water-element pet.
Also, it's rumored that this island was formed from the corpse of a God-level transcendent creature. Someone previously found Legendary resources on the island, so it's quite dangerous.
Brother Dong, why don't you come with us? There are also two of Yan Han's girlfriends, who are quite good-looking. Why don't I introduce them to you?" Ning Wei said with a smile.
Zheng Dong was more interested in the resources.
The reason he was selling Explosion Fruits was to earn money to buy resources.
"Are you kidding me? If it's the corpse of a God-level transcendent creature, it would have been dug out long ago!"
"How could I dare? This information can still be found online. Many people go to Sea Elephant Island because of this legend," Ning Wei said.
Zheng Dong considered it and decided to go and see.
Anyway, Ning Wei and Yan Han's training expedition would only take two weeks, and by the time they returned, school would likely not have started yet.
Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer.
Although Ning Wei had never opened an online store, he had connections in that area and quickly found a store that was for transfer. Zheng Dong could directly sell Explosion Fruits once he took it over, without needing much maintenance or traffic generation.
However, running an online store required manpower.
Zheng Dong did not plan to hire outsiders. He directly condensed numerous clones and split bodies to manage the online store.
Of course, pets like Xiao Zi also condensed their own clones to help maintain the online store.
After all, this was also earning them their own food.
For this purpose, Zheng Dong also purchased the advanced skills "Water Clone" and "Ice Clone" and taught them to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing quite enjoyed this kind of interaction with people.
Its water and ice clones quickly took over from Zheng Dong, becoming the main force of the online store, handling operations and customer service.
If they were too busy, they would condense more clones.
However, at the beginning, not many people bought Explosion Fruits.
But as people used them and found that they could indeed injure Monarch-level pets and had strong destructive power, the number of buyers surged.
For this reason, Zheng Dong opened up a second plot of land.
He planned to open up a total of seven plots of land, which would allow him to sell a thousand Explosion Fruits daily, or over ten million, reaching a small goal in ten days.
Soon, the day to go to Sea Elephant Island arrived.
As agreed, Zheng Dong went to the Adventure Home Outdoor Training Company and met Ning Wei, Yan Han, and Yan Han's two girlfriends.
After a brief chat, Zheng Dong gained a general understanding of everyone's strength.
Ning Wei and the others were still Intermediate Beast Tamers.
The training team they hired consisted of seven people, two of whom were Master Beast Tamers and five were Advanced Beast Tamers.
They did not plan to venture deep into Sea Elephant Island, only to train in the outer areas.
But Zheng Dong felt they were more like going to play than to train.
Of course, he didn't care about Ning Wei and the others' intentions; he was going treasure hunting anyway.
At this point, the heads of the adventure team, Bi Heng and Ai Wei, both Master Beast Tamers, also came before the group.
"Mr. Ning, everything is ready. Let's set off.
You can rest assured about safety; we go to Sea Elephant Island several times a year!" Bi Heng said.
Bi Heng was slightly older, around thirty-five or thirty-six, giving him a weathered and mature aura that made him easily trustworthy.
Ai Wei was younger and did not speak, but he glanced at Zheng Dong a few times.
He was very curious about who Zheng Dong was.
Because last night, someone in a bar had asked him for information about Zheng Dong, and the money offered was enough for his salary for a year.
So, he was also tempted.
Of course, he didn't have much information about Zheng Dong's situation, only knowing that a Master Beast Tamer named Zheng Dong had been temporarily added.
Originally, adding people required an extra fee, but since Zheng Dong was a Master Beast Tamer, they couldn't charge him more.
Seeing that the other party didn't know much about Zheng Dong, they asked him to provide the action route for this training expedition and to provide Zheng Dong's location at all times.
He had initially refused.
But the other party increased the price threefold, so he agreed.
Then, they took a boat to Sea Elephant Island.
The distance from Modu to Sea Elephant Island was quite far. It wasn't until around 3 PM that the group arrived at Sea Elephant Island.
Sea Elephant Island was much larger than Zheng Dong had anticipated.
Its area was equivalent to more than half of Modu's Yinshan District.
It was also very lively, with many students coming here for training every year.
Therefore, there were also some simple restaurants and inns on the island.
Of course, the prices were very high, and ordinary people couldn't afford them.
After disembarking, Zheng Dong summoned Xiao Zi.
When it came to finding resources and treasures, Xiao Zi was quite adept.
Xiao Zi used its "Enlarge" skill to shrink its body and jumped onto Zheng Dong's shoulder, looking at the island with excitement.
Unfortunately, it couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from resources.
But there was no rush; even if there were resources in the outer areas of the island, they would have already been found by others.
Zheng Dong's goal was to search in the central area of the island.
Before coming, he had also searched online for information about Sea Elephant Island.
It was indeed true that someone had previously discovered a Legendary resource here.
However, it was not a water-element resource, but an earth-element resource.
Everyone began their training according to the planned route.
Along the way, they encountered many returning Beast Tamers.
These Beast Tamers were all somewhat injured.
It seemed they had encountered some powerful transcendent creatures.
The most common transcendent creatures on this island were snakes and rats. If bitten, one had to seek treatment quickly, otherwise, poisoning could be fatal.
Of course, Ning Wei and the others had also prepared plenty of antidotes and healing potions.
Zheng Dong didn't need to worry too much. He possessed the Azure Dragon bloodline and was in symbiosis with Ling'er and Youyou. Even if poisoned, he could last longer than others.
Suddenly, a thin Beast Tamer stumbled towards Zheng Dong and his group.
More accurately, he was walking towards the outside of the island.
His expression was nervous and somewhat panicked, appearing to have been stimulated by something.
Seeing this, Bi Heng, as the captain responsible for safety during this outdoor training, took the initiative to inquire about the situation.
Under Bi Heng's reassurance, the person explained the reason for coming to the island and what he had encountered.
He was also a student at Modu University.
Because his family was poor, he wanted to earn some money during the summer vacation.
For Beast Tamers, the fastest way to earn money was through wild adventures and collecting resources.
So, he joined an adventure team and entered the depths of Sea Elephant Island, where they encountered several transcendent creatures they had never seen before.
In his description, these transcendent creatures were monsters, all without reason and extremely ferocious.
Their group of over twenty people, only four or five escaped.
He was the fastest runner among them.
"Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave. Those monsters are following us, they will kill everyone, everyone..."
Hearing the person's words, Bi Heng was dismissive.
He had seen such situations before; one or two timid Beast Tamers would be scared out of their wits every year.
Zheng Dong frowned.
He felt that this Beast Tamer, who claimed to be a junior at Modu University, was likely not weak, at least an Advanced Beast Tamer.
Otherwise, the adventure team wouldn't have let him join.
This was earning money at the risk of their lives, and they wouldn't casually recruit a novice.
Zheng Dong then stepped forward and asked:
"Hello, senior. I'm also from Modu University. Can you describe what those monsters look like?"
"In short, they are very scary. If you want to survive, you should leave quickly!"
The man was unwilling to say more, bypassed Zheng Dong, and quickened his pace.
Bi Heng also said to Zheng Dong:
"Buddy, don't worry, it's fine. I'm familiar with Sea Elephant Island. Nothing major has happened here over the years."
His words did not dispel Zheng Dong's doubts, but they did reassure Ning Wei and the others.
Thus, the group continued forward.
Along the way, they encountered many transcendent creatures.
Bi Heng and the others did not make a move, leaving it to Ning Wei, Yan Han, and the others to train their pets.
Zheng Dong also followed behind, letting Xiao Zi search for resources.
They were quite lucky and found a few Level 2 and Level 3 resources, which would be enough to cover their food expenses if sold.
After walking for a while longer, a scream came from ahead.
A bloody and mangled corpse was hanging from a tree branch, scaring Yan Han into Ning Wei's arms.
Zheng Dong looked up.
The corpse had already been half-devoured, but from the remaining partial limbs and skull, it was still easy to identify it as the body of an unfortunate Beast Tamer.
Yan Han's two girlfriends immediately vomited.
Bi Heng and the others were also startled.
Although it wasn't the first time they had encountered such a situation, it was the first time they had seen one so gruesome.
Bi Heng quickly called for people to bury it on the spot.
This scene also made Ning Wei, Yan Han, and the others realize how dangerous outdoor training was.
"Brother Dong, why don't we go back first? I think we've walked enough for today," Ning Wei said.
Yan Han and the others beside him also nodded in agreement.
Bi Heng was indifferent; as long as they protected the group for fifteen days, they would get paid.
However, before Zheng Dong could speak, another scream came from the nearby woods.
Immediately after, a Beast Tamer ran over.
He was followed by a humanoid transcendent creature.
To call it a transcendent creature, it felt more like a human to Zheng Dong. It was enveloped in fiery orange-red flames, its face contorted, and it had a pair of burning wings on its back, similar to phoenix wings.
Other than that, its hands, feet, and body were almost the same as a normal person.
