The news of Fang Yuan cultivating a platinum-grade gryphon in the laboratory was broadcasted in the news, causing a huge sensation.
In a short while, the news was spread to all parts of the country. The television station also kept replaying the news.
At this moment in the south, in the military command base, a man kept replaying the scene.
“Why are you still watching television at this hour? You’re really not doing your job properly.” A man in a general’s uniform walked over and wanted to turn off the television, “Right now, the army ants are attacking our defenses wave by wave. Once they break through the defense line, our people will have to face the threat of the army ants. Our farms and medicinal fields will all be destroyed. At this time, you still have the mood to watch television.”
Just as he was about to turn off the television, the man stopped him. Instead, he called him to look at the scene carefully.
“Does this boy look a little familiar?” The man asked.
The general fixed his eyes on him. Wasn’t this the boy who had defeated more than 500 demonized mad bulls and had even received a national reward.
However, what surprised him even more was that he saw gryphons dancing in the air behind the boy.
“Now you understand what I mean, right? Although the army ants are strong, invincible, and have an extremely strong resistance to fire, they can’t do anything to aerial creatures. If we can borrow this batch of gryphons, perhaps we can eliminate the army ants as soon as possible. What do you think?” The man asked.
The general began to think about this matter. He heard that this young man didn’t care about fame and fortune, and he had such powerful strength. It was probably not easy to convince him. Who should he find to negotiate with him?
That afternoon, when Fang Yuan was arranging for Ah Li and Xiao Jin to spar, an uninvited guest appeared.
“Fang Yuan, long time no see.”
“Instructor He, why are you here? How did you know that I am here?” Fang Yuan looked at the man in front of him. It was surprisingly the instructor He Liwei from his previous military service.
“The matter of you grooming a large group of gryphons has already spread on television. These are all gryphons above middle gold grade. You really exceed my expectations every time you do something. How many more surprises do you have to give me?”
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” Fang Yuan had been busy training his pet during this period of time. He was thinking about how to improve his pet’s combat strength. He wanted to train his pet’s combat strength to the highest level before the next arcane realm opened so that he could obtain better materials.
“What happened is, Fang Yuan, actually, I have a favor to ask of you this time.” He Liwei saw that Fang Yuan did not show any repelling attitude, so he decided to get straight to the point. “Do you still remember how you saved tens of thousands of people in border town? We were lucky to have you at that time.”
Fang Yuan did not understand why He Liwei would bring up this matter so long after the incident. He knew that he definitely had something to say, so he waited for him to say what he was going to say next.
“Our South also suffered the invasion of the demonic beast tide this time. It’s the demonized army ants. Do you know about army ants? They usually live together in groups. They have a tough appearance, they are good at climbing, and they move extremely fast.”
Fang Yuan had seen records of this pet beast in the professor’s laboratory, but he had never seen it before. He just nodded, “But according to the professor’s records, this pet beast is generally docile and doesn’t take the initiative to attack. Why would it attack human cities?”
“I don’t know about that.” In fact, the recent incidents of pet beasts being demonized and then attacking humans had attracted the attention of the higher-ups of the humans. However, there had been no investigation results, but the pet beast attacks were going on wave after wave, it was too much for the humans to handle.
Thinking of this, He Liwei looked at Fang Yuan. If there were more mutants like Fang Yuan, the humans would not be so passive. However, he shook his head and threw this crazy idea out of his mind.
After listening to He Liwei’s words, Fang Yuan roughly understood the purpose of He Liwei’s visit. He wanted him to come out and settle this matter..
If it was only army ants, this kind of animal that could not fly could be completely annihilated by flying animals.
More importantly, army ants were living experience points to him. He did not know how to cultivate such a huge gryphon army at this juncture, and coincidently the army ants came to deliver experience points.
However, Fang Yuan would not show it directly. He wanted to know what He Liwei’s conditions were.
“The Military Academy of Iron Castle wants to borrow your Gryphon Army for a while. They will give you a certain reward.” True enough, seeing Fang Yuan pretending to be puzzled, He Liwei knew that he would not lend it out easily. After all, it was a precious gold pet beast.
“What’s the reward?” Fang Yuan asked.
“They have paid attention to your research results. It seems that your evolutionary breeding fluid needs spiritual herbs, and this kind of spiritual herb can not be cultivated everywhere but at spiritual fields. Coincidentally, Iron Castle Military Academy has a military supply spiritual field that provides logistics. If you are willing to provide the gryphon army and solve the crisis perfectly, this military supply spiritual field can be rented to you at the lowest price. What do you think?” Before He Liwei came, he had already been told that money is meaningless to such a strong person, only a precious resource like the military supply spiritual field can be used in exchange.
Spiritual grass? Wasn’t that an important ingredient for the evolution potion that Zhao Ren gave him?
He had already used up the previous evolution potion. If he could make another batch of evolution potions, then… all of his pet beasts could be upgraded to a higher grade. He could even own a intermediate-grade platinum iron gryphon.
Xiao Jin seemed to have felt his master’s call. He flew to his side and rubbed his head against his hand. It had been with Ah Li for a long time, and it had learned to please humans.
“Is this a platinum-grade iron gryphon?” He Liwei stood beside Xiao Jin and felt the deterrence force brought by the iron gryphon. It was far more shocking than any pet beast he had seen before.
“Of course. Instructor He, as a hot-blooded youth, it is our duty to serve the country and protect the common people. I will gather the Gryhon Army now and follow you to the border. What do you think?”
“Okay.” He Liwei was extremely happy. This was his goal.
“But it’s too slow to take the car. Instructor he, you don’t mind taking a ride with me, do you?” Fang Yuan smiled.
He Liwei was both regretful and excited because at this moment, he was sitting on the gryphon with Fang Yuan. And this platinum-grade gryphon leader was surrounded by a group of nearly a hundred gryphons
“Let’s go!”
Under Fang Yuan’s command, the Gryphon Army rushed toward the southern border at an alarming speed.
Seeing this, the people on the ground all took out their phones to take photos and videos in an attempt to record this spectacular scene.
Riding a gryphon was a cool thing to begin with. The legend of riding a gryphon king was even more unbelievable.
