94 Chapter 72: The Seven General Beast Below the King_2
However, as soon as Lu Ran arrived, he found it hard to keep calm.
Because at that moment, two ferocious creatures were engaged in a standoff around a very rare-looking ice and snow tree.
A giant Ice-Cold Sparrow stood on the tree, displaying a fierce posture.
Below, a Red Chain Snake, its body wrapped in Fire Attribute energy, was greedily eyeing the tree.
Lu Ran was stunned. Damn, was this still a treasure-hunting snake? Wasn't this the same Red Chain Snake that had just slinked away, giving him face?
It had just slipped away from the Life Dandelion and, in the blink of an eye, had crossed over a mountain and found another rare resource... Its treasure-hunting ability was unmatched.
At that moment, Lu Ran's phone also rang.
Luo Shang reported, "Latest news, the drone tracking the Red Chain Snake has captured another suspected extraordinary being with a huge degree of mutation—"
"It's a sparrow, right?" said Lu Ran.
"Ah?" Luo Shang was taken aback.
"Let's hang up, I've discovered it too. We'll talk later."
Lu Ran smiled. He had intended to deal with the situation here and then have a good talk with the Red Chain Snake, but now he could save himself the trouble of looking for it.
The arrival of Lu Ran, Mr. Husky, and the Crow Leader also interrupted the standoff between the two high-level mutant creatures.
Facing formidable adversaries, both creatures panicked, but the Red Chain Snake, upon seeing who had come, was the one who wanted to curse the most. Its gaze went blank, unable to understand why it was these people again.
"You two stop the standoff. Is it really just over a tea tree? Can you give me some face?"
Lu Ran looked towards the blue giant tree.
[Name]: Ice Heart Tea Tree
[Level]: Advanced
[Introduction]: The tea leaves have the effect of refreshing the mind and alleviating mental fatigue.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ran nodded. Although it was an advanced resource, the quantity was massive!
Just now, this region... An Ice Attribute natural energy burst, right? Not only did it mutate a tea tree, but it also caused the sparrow to mutate and evolve.
In the early stages of the Spiritual Energy revival, opportunities were indeed everywhere!
"Sss—" At that moment, the Red Chain Snake questioned what Lu Ran meant by "give me some face," damn it, it had already given face once, wasn't his skin thick enough already?
The Ice Sparrow, too, didn't seem too welcoming towards this group of intruders.
Facing the wary gaze of the two beasts, Lu Ran smiled slightly:
"Let's not worry about this tea tree for now. I've found you two, are you interested in joining me in a grand venture?"
"With your current intelligence, you should be able to understand, right? The world has undergone no small change."
"Just Green Sea City alone has been transformed, and treasures like these will become more and more common. Do you really want to fight over every single one? Although your mutations are not small, you will inevitably encounter those stronger than you, and then you will still be unable to escape becoming prey."
"Submit to me, become my subordinates! Together, we'll take control of the entire Green Sea's animal world. Then, such treasures will be as plentiful as you wish!" Lu Ran opened his arms, inviting them.
But whether it was the Red Chain Snake or the Ice Sparrow, they both soon looked at Lu Ran as if he were a fool.
Despite their increased intelligence, their racial habits contained no concepts of allegiance or joint ventures. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In their view, Lu Ran was just trying to steal the treasure!
Seeing this, the corner of Lu Ran's mouth twitched. Not fun at all.
The animals he knew from before and those he'd never met, there was a difference in closeness.
"It really is——"
Lu Ran, feeling resigned, spoke indifferently. So that's how it was, then it was time to show them a little something!
Lu Ran looked toward Mr. Husky, and Mr. Husky, at that moment, also moved towards the Red Chain Snake and the Ice Sparrow with a sharp gaze...
The Red Chain Snake and the Ice Sparrow were taken aback.
"Woof!" The next moment, Mr. Husky charged out, his mouth gripping the Sword of Wind, as the two beasts' eyes widened.
Immediately following, a Wild Wind rose over the hill, accompanied by the panicked cries of the Red Chain Snake and the Ice Sparrow, and chaos ensued...

......
That night.
Lu Ran trekked through mountains and waded through streams, completing the preliminary work and had a friendly face-to-face talk with every high-level mutant creature of the Green Sea.
Qingwu Lake.
Lu Ran gathered them all here, beginning to divide the territory.
"From now on, you'll work with me to maintain the stability of Green Sea City's animal hierarchy; it's a win-win situation,"
Lu Ran looked at the creatures before him and said, "Don't look so gloomy."
"I'll start by giving each of you a codename."
Lu Ran turned towards the old turtle at Qingwu Lake and said, "From now on, old man, your codename is Xuan Turtle. You'll be responsible for the security of this area around Qingwu Lake. Green Sea City has the most aquatic life, and we can't mess with the ocean side, so for now, we keep to our own waters."
The old turtle sighed as he looked at the several mutant evil beasts around him. He really didn't want to get involved with Lu Ran's schemes.
"Cricket, your codename is Insect King. Strive to unify the insect world of the Green Sea. Take the opportunity to suppress the ant and bee races first; this is the most important."
In the middle of the night, he was called back by Lu Ran again, and the Cricket King was quite displeased, but he nodded in agreement nonetheless.
"Crow, your codename is Dark Crow. From now on, you are the overlord of Green Sea's skies. Under the cover of night, I want your subordinates to monitor every little thing in the Green Sea for me."
"Your Majesty is wise!" The Crow was very satisfied with the codename given by Lu Ran.
"That snake over there, your codename is Fire Snake. You will be the ranger of the Jade Mountain area, and you are to prevent mutant creatures from entering the city. Remember, do not cause any wildfires, or I'll roast you."
"Hiss..." The Red Chain Snake nodded frantically as it was covered in scars. It felt like it got on a bandit's ship and decided never to look for treasures anymore.
Clearly, it had been roughed up by Mr. Husky.
"That sparrow, your codename is Ice Bird. Until there's a plan for transplanting that tea tree, you're responsible for helping to guard it," Lu Ran said.
"Additionally, I've noticed that there are many wild boars in your area. If any wild boar intends to invade the countryside, you're in charge of dealing with it."
Even though that tea tree was only of an advanced variety, Lu Ran felt it had good business potential.
Invigorating and relieving fatigue? Such supplements have a big market, and even for personal use, they're very nice.
"Chirp..." The Ice Bird felt quite bad about the situation, but having been chastised, it patiently listened to Lu Ran's complete plan.
Uniting to rule the Green Sea together was indeed more reassuring than fighting alone.
"One Ear, your codename is One Ear. From now on, you lead the group of stray cats to maintain the city's security," Lu Ran said to One Ear, who was looking forward with anticipation. At the end of his speech, however, One Ear's expression froze.
"Meow!!!" It didn't like the codename One Ear; why was its codename the only non-mainstream one?
"And you, stop spectating!" Lu Ran addressed King of Sudden Death who was slacking off on the side.
King of Sudden Death: ??
King of Sudden Death was startled, wondering if there was something for him too.
"For the next while, you'll also join in. Initially, you'll follow me, and later on, you'll move freely to help maintain the security of Green Sea City. Codename, Thunder Dragon."
King of Sudden Death's face turned bitter as he looked at the several huge mutant beasts around him, feeling like any of them could crush him in an instant.
Working with them...
Xuan Turtle, Insect King, Dark Crow, Fire Snake, Ice Bird, One Ear, Thunder Dragon.
Lu Ran looked at the seven creatures contentedly. Six of them were over level 10 beings; their suppressive power over the other mutant beasts was absolutely top-notch.
"Once the situation in Green Sea City stabilizes completely, I'll reward you according to your achievements and find suitable resources for enhancing you. Rest assured!"
"No, tomorrow. Tomorrow I will find a batch of resources suitable for you all and bring them to you." Lu Ran knew he couldn't just offer empty promises, so he planned to enter Infinite City the next day and buy some resources, to win them over for now. When they eventually achieved significant results, he would reward them further.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have a great suggestion," Dark Crow spoke up at this moment.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Let's call ourselves the Seven General Beast under the king! Right now, it's only the Green Sea, but once we unite this place, sooner or later we'll attack other cities! Caw caw caw, we must have a resounding title."
Lu Ran, who was already used to this guy, simply said coolly, "Talk like that again, and I'll have Mr. Husky cut off your tongue."
Dark Crow was startled, covering its mouth. Got it, stay low-key, develop quietly, and then surprise everyone!
