Beast Taming Patrol

With the arrival of delegations from both the desert lands and the Holy Alliance, the four Security Alliances had finally gathered.

The delegate from the Holy Security Alliance was a robust man with an exquisitely maintained and scrupulous beard, wearing meticulously tailored garments. He gracefully greeted everyone with a nod before moving forward to shake hands with Shen Yunshan.

"This is my first time coming to the Yan Huang Alliance," the bearded man said in fluent Yan Huang language, "The climate here is very nice, even warmer than back at the Holy Security Alliance."

"It will be even better once you enter the safety zone," Shen Yunshan said with a smile, clearly already familiar with the man with the beard, "Neymar, I didn't expect you to be the one leading the delegation from the Holy Security Alliance."

"Shen, don't be fooled by my appearance, I'm actually very interested in research," the man with the beard laughed heartily and slapped Shen Yunshan's shoulder, then raised his voice, "I am Neymar, the Military Director of the Holy Security Alliance, and I'm pleased to meet all of you!"

The crowd exchanged glances, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

The Military Director was not a researcher's position; it was that of a combatant.

It was unexpected that the Holy Security Alliance's representative was not a researcher.

However, after glancing at the lineup standing behind Neymar, everyone felt somewhat relieved.

Although Neymar was not a researcher, there were nonetheless a significant number of researchers standing behind him.

Apart from researchers and combatants, there were also two young male and two young female Beast Tamers accompanying them from the Holy Security Alliance.

Lin Su surveyed the other party with curiosity, before his gaze rested on a pet creature cradled in the arms of one of the female Beast Tamers.

"Meow? (｡òωó｡)" (Is that Xue Henqing?)

Qiuqiu also noticed the pet creature held by the Beast Tamer, feeling happy at the sight of a member of its species.

"Yes," Lin Su nodded slightly.

Xue Henqing was a pet beast species unique to the Yan Huang Alliance, but long ago, it had been introduced to the Holy Security Alliance.

Because the Holy Security Alliance's region primarily had ice and water-type pet beasts, the ice-type Xue Henqing with its high aesthetic value was also popular there.

Just that...

Lin Su's brow furrowed slightly.

The Xue Henqing held in the woman's arms was just a juvenile, not seeming to be raised as a pet beast but more like a pet.

Before Lin Su proposed the Faith Evolution path for Xue Henqing, such cases were actually not rare in the Yan Huang Security Alliance.

While Lin Su was observing the young Beast Tamers from the Holy Security Alliance, they were also sizing him up.

"Look, that young man is so handsome!" One of the girls' eyes lit up, her light blue eyes sparkling with infatuation as she spoke softly, her hand discreetly pointing in Lin Su's direction.

Hearing this, a tall and thin young man beside her felt somewhat irked; he had a fondness for the girl with the light blue eyes and couldn't help retorting, "Lilith, being handsome doesn't fill your belly. We Beast Tamers should care about strength."

"You can eat handsomeness though~" Lilith said with a giggle, "If he agrees, I'd invite him to eat with me every day."

"Pfft!" The girl next to Lilith covered her mouth and laughed. She held a juvenile Xue Henqing in her arms, which was not much bigger than a palm, and gently patted Lilith's shoulder, "Mind the occasion, don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, the girl likewise turned her curious gaze elsewhere.

She was initially stunned by Lin Su, but soon noticed the pet beast lying on top of his head.

That was...

Her eyes grew excited as she tugged at Lilith's hand, "Look, look, his pet is the evolved form of Xue Henqing!"

"Ni Wei, stop pulling me..." Lilith sighed helplessly and then set her eyes upon Qiuqiu on Lin Su's head; after a glance or two, her face also showed surprise, "It really is. It seems we're in luck, meeting a Beast Tamer with the evolved form of Xue Henqing right after arriving."

She winked at Ni Wei, "I'm so jealous of you; you've even got a reason to strike up a conversation."

"Get out of here," Ni Wei pinched her best friend, unable to stop a smile from spreading across her face.

"Just wait a little longer~ Once I get the evolution path for you, you can become my third pet," Ni Wei whispered to the Xue Henqing in her arms.

Unaware that the four people from the Holy Security Alliance were also discussing him and even the issue of Xue Henqing's evolved form, Lin Su's attention quickly shifted to the other side, where the delegates of the desert Security Alliance were.

The delegates from the desert Security Alliance had darker skin and came dressed in long robes characteristic of their region.

Leading them was a solemn-faced middle-aged woman in conservative attire.

Following Neymar, the woman walked up slowly, placed her palms together in front of Shen Yunshan, nodded slightly, and earnestly said, "Mr. Shen Yunshan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Madam Fula," Shen Yunshan nodded in return with a smile, and took the initiative to introduce her to the people behind him, "This is the Director of the Faith Management Office of the desert Security Alliance."

The Faith Management Office...

The expressions of the crowd quickly grew serious.

The special Beast Tamer system of the desert Security Alliance had given rise to a social formation markedly different from other places. There, regions were not divided according to safety zones but by totemic tribes, with different tribes venerating different totems, and there were hundreds of such tribes.
