C32 Tamed Beast Clan

After a long while, Zhang Ping looked at Situ Shibai and couldn't help but ask, "Old Mr. Situ, is the process of creating special equipment so cruel?"

However, Situ Shibai did not answer him. Instead, he held his teacup and closed his eyes to enjoy the tea.

In fact, with his strength, he could have ignored Zhang Ping's wishes and forcefully duplicated Zhang Ping's ability.

However, he did not do so. Instead, he respected Zhang Ping's choice.

Zhang Ping naturally knew this in his heart.

Moreover, when he asked this question, he remembered that the bargaining chips that Situ Shibai had given him were two pieces of equipment and he would answer everything. Now that he had not agreed to the trade yet, Situ Shibai would naturally not answer any of his questions easily.

He looked at the Fear War Scythe and the Gold Treasury and fell into deep thought.

If he had not ordered him to remain calm just now, he knew that he would definitely agree to the trade.

The main reason was that these two pieces of equipment were too tempting.

The Fear War Scythe was definitely the most suitable weapon for him at the moment.

As for the Gold Treasury, it had a space storage equipment that was priceless. It was a strategic treasure in any force.

Time passed by slowly. Zhang Ping and Situ Shibai did not speak at all. The two of them sat together quietly drinking tea.

When the pot of tea was finished, Zhang Ping got up to fill it with water and then poured a cup of tea for Situ Shibai.

"Old Mr. Situ, your bargaining chips are too powerful. I agree."

Zhang Ping put down the teapot and finally decided to agree to Situ Shibai's conditions.

Firstly, Situ Shibai had given him too much.

Secondly, Situ Shibai had no reason to lie to him.

Through the ability of the Wind Speaker, he knew a lot of things about the Cleaning Team. Situ Shibai had copied a copy of the entire Cleaning Team's ability, so the possibility of him being harmed was extremely low.

In fact, what he was worried about was the possibility of the unknown. Situ Shibai had never copied an Infinite Level ability. No one could tell what would happen when the two abilities collided.

However, just as he had said before, Situ Shibai had given him too many things, enough for him to take the risk.

Situ Shibai put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Alright, then they will be yours from now on. Put your hand out."

Then, he stretched out his hand and clapped with Zhang Ping's palm. The entire process lasted for about a second, and he sighed slightly after it ended.

"Old Mr. Situ, is it over?" Zhang Ping retracted his hand and asked in confusion.

He couldn't help but wonder if the conditions that Situ Shibai had copied were just to clap hands?

Situ Shibai nodded and said, "It's over. I can't copy your ability. Even the derivative abilities can't be copied. It seems that your ability is very special. All your abilities can become an Infinite Level."

The ability that he had copied did not have such an infinite possibility. At most, it would only reach the limit of the ability itself.

For example, if he copied a Nation-Protecting ability, then even if he trained it to the limit, it would only be a Nation-Protecting ability. It would be impossible to break through to the Infinite Level.

Furthermore, he did not realize that his potential was limited in the early years. He had used his potential on many abilities that did not have much potential. As a result, his potential had been exhausted. Even if he obtained a new ability, it would be difficult for him to increase his cultivation speed.

This was also the reason why he was interested in Zhang Ping's ability.

If he could obtain the Contract Gem, he would be able to slowly recover his potential and finally break through to the King Level.

Unfortunately, the results of the experiment showed that the Infinite Level could not replicate the Infinite Level's ability.

Although Situ Shibai was disappointed, he was not surprised.

This result was already within his expectations.

When he made the decision, his intuition had already vaguely given him the answer. It was just that he was unwilling to accept it.

Then, he helped Zhang Ping and the Fear War Scythe bind.

The method of binding was very simple.

It was to transfer the ownership of the Fear War Scythe to Zhang Ping. Otherwise, no one would be able to take away the ownership of the Fear War Scythe.

After Zhang Ping put the Fear War Scythe into the Gold Treasury, he asked again, "Old Mr. Situ, is the method of making special equipment so cruel?"

"Two hundred years ago, it was almost the same. Later on, after hundreds of upheavals and governance in Pearl City, this method of using humans as tools was gradually banned. Only the prisoners of death would be treated like this," Situ Shibai explained.

Two hundred years ago?

Zhang Ping suddenly realized that the knowledge taught in the school did not mention much about two hundred years ago.

"Old Mr. Situ, what was Pearl City like two hundred years ago?" Zhang Ping was a little curious.

Situ Shibai looked at the bracelet on Zhang Ping's wrist and replied, "Two hundred years ago, Pearl City was not called Pearl City. At that time, its name was Zhu City. The one who ruled this city was a family, the Beast Taming Zhu family."

"The Beast Taming Zhu family? What did they do?" Zhang Ping asked.

Situ Shibai fell into his memories. "What did the Zhu family do?"

His eyes seemed to pass through two hundred years of time, and he could see the scene of the past.

"Everyone in the Zhu City under their rule is a slave of the Zhu family. No one can see the future or hope."

"Men worked hard day and night, but they could only get a little bit of food. Women who were slightly beautiful would be chosen as slaves of the Zhu family, and they would become playthings for the rich and powerful."

"Children were all gathered and controlled, and they were taught to be loyal to the Zhu family day and night. And the old people who could not work were used as feed for the catabolic beast."

"At that time, if anyone became an Awakened, they would either be controlled and enslaved, or they would become materials for equipment production."

"It was because of this that many Awakened escaped to the outskirts of the city. Some of them set up camps outside the city, but some ambitious people silently accumulated strength, hoping that one day they could overthrow the Zhu family's rule."

"So that's how it was."

After Zhang Ping heard this, he could imagine the situation at that time. Perhaps the Awakened at that time were even worse than they were now.

"Is there anything else?"

Situ Shibai sighed and asked after a long while.

He had plenty of time to slowly answer Zhang Ping's questions.

In fact, when Liu Sishan came into contact with Zhang Ping, he had already determined that Zhang Ping was not a catabolic beast through the changes in Liu Sishan's Fire of Fortune.

After knowing that Zhang Ping's ability was at the Infinite Level, he had the idea of meeting Zhang Ping.

Only a crazy person would send an Infinite Level Awakened to be a spy.

Any force that obtained such a treasure would definitely keep it in their mouths and be afraid of breaking it.

Not to mention sending it out to be a spy.

Even if it was an ordinary mission to leave the city, there would definitely be a few strong warriors protecting it in secret. They were afraid that the treasure would die.

Situ Shibai's visit this time was just a convenience. The real purpose was to give Zhang Ping a treasure and resolve his doubts.

At present, the situation in Pearl City was unclear. Zhang Ping knew very little about the situation, so it was easy for him to fall into the enemy's trap.

For example, the little Sky Fox in the park.

Under normal circumstances, how could a child be swinging in the park in the middle of the night?

In the eyes of Liu Sishan and the others, this was obviously a trap, but Zhang Ping was so stupid that he almost stepped into it.

Therefore, Situ Shibai came here specifically to answer Zhang Ping's questions and analyze the situation in Pearl City so that Zhang Ping would not fall into the enemy's trap.

"Old Mr. Situ, you're so powerful. Why don't you take care of Moon Prince?"

Zhang Ping had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to ask the question that he could not understand first.

He was sure that Moon Prince was definitely not a match for Situ Shibai. If Situ Shibai attacked, Moon Prince would definitely die, and there would not be more people dying in the city in the next two days.

However, Situ Shibai did not attack, and instead, he just sat by and watched the Sky Fox come out to capture and eat people.

Situ Shibai shook his head and said, "It's not that he doesn't want to attack, but he can't."

Then he got up and walked to the window, looked at the street in the distance, and continued, "You might think that Pearl City's defense system is very weak, and you don't even know that the Sky Fox has invaded, but … this is wrong!"

Wrong?

Zhang Ping was even more confused.

"Actually, Pearl City's defense system is quite perfect. Not only do they have an investigation team investigating and expelling the newly appeared catabolic beasts, but they also have patrolling parties cleaning up the threats regularly. Furthermore, there is also the King Armament, the Sun Moon Pearl, suppressing all the foreign races in the city.

"That is a precious treasure left behind by Zhu City. Once a King catabolic beast invades, it will automatically activate.

"When a King catabolic beast enters the Sun Moon Pearl's territory, it will automatically be reduced to a top-tier catabolic beast, and I am the top-tier catabolic beast without a doubt." Situ Shibai explained seriously.

This was equivalent to a King entering Pearl City and dying.

"But now …"

Just as Zhang Ping was about to say something, he suddenly stopped. He had already realized the problem.

He looked at Situ Shibai with a pale face and asked, "Elder Bai, what you mean is that... there are people in the city who are spies?"

"Mm, ever since the Zhu family's rule was overthrown, other than the City Lord and me, only the descendants of the Tamedog family know how to control the Divine Weapon," Situ Shibai said.

Zhang Ping clenched his fists tightly. The scene that he had seen in the past surfaced in his mind. Su Jingyao's human skin, Moon Prince's tearing girl, Sky Fox gnawing on her limbs...

It was as if there was a flame spurting out of his eyes.

"Why didn't you kill all these scum back then?"

Zhang Ping clenched his fists tightly, unable to understand why the Zhu family had done so many evil deeds and why they had not killed all of them back then.

Hearing that, Situ Shibai smiled bitterly and said, "The Zhu family has been operating in Pearl City for hundreds of years, and their foundation is unfathomable. Moreover, when the Zhu family was overthrown, the Pearl City was in chaos, and there were even many people who had been brainwashed since young who were extremely hostile towards us. Under such circumstances, there was really not much we could do."

At that time, the situation could not be explained with just a few words.

Although they had defeated the Beast Taming Zhu family, there were still many people who were brainwashed who were secretly loyal to the Zhu family.

Although these people were unable to pose a threat to the Awakened, they could secretly help the Zhu family hide the whereabouts of their descendants. They would even kill their own children to make the Zhu family's children impersonate them.

These people were already incurable, but they were hiding among the crowd. When Situ Shibai and the others had the time to investigate, all the evidence had already been destroyed.

In the past two hundred years, the remnants of the Beast Tamer family had been operating in the shadows of Pearl City.

It was just that they were low-profile and secretive. They had also inherited many treasures of the Zhu family, and they had a large number of special equipment. Even the Cleaning Team had failed to find any traces of them.

There were too many suspicious points in the invasion of the Sky Fox this time.

Why didn't the Sun Moon Pearl take effect?

Was the City Lord still alive?

What was the purpose of the Beast Taming Zhu family?

What kind of ability did the king of the Sky Fox have?

Without getting an answer to these questions, Situ Shibai had to be careful when he made his move. Otherwise, if he fell into the enemy's trap, Pearl City would be doomed if Situ Shibai died in battle.

It was just like the war in his previous life.

The nuclear weapon was just a deterrent. It could not be used unless it was a critical moment.

After calming down, Zhang Ping realized the importance of Situ Shibai after some thought.

At this time, Situ Shibai could not act rashly. Even if Moon Prince kept provoking and killing people, anyone could be impulsive, except for Situ Shibai.

Zhang Ping continued to ask questions, and Situ Shibai answered them one by one.

The situation in Pearl City gradually became clear. Zhang Ping felt like the fog of war had been cleared.

The most important thing now was to find the traitor and investigate the details of the Sky Fox, especially the Moon Prince. What kind of ability did he have?

However, at this moment, the Moon Prince was sleeping in the City Lord's Mansion. With the protection of countless Sky Fox, there was no way to investigate him.

The only thing Zhang Ping could do was to investigate the Moon Prince. Because the Moon Prince was the Moon Prince's bloodline, he could indirectly understand the abilities that the Moon Prince possessed by looking at the Moon Prince's attributes.

Other people who possessed the appraisal could not see through the disguise of the Sky Fox. This was something that only he could do.
