Although the three-trunked elephant currently has impaired intelligence, its strength might also be affected. However, even in this state, if it can truly become a battle beast, it would be a huge profit. As long as its abilities remain intact and it is under human control, it can still play a significant role.
This is different from the Yama Tree, which is a cooperative relationship. To put it simply, both parties are based on mutual interests. The previous agreement, whether fulfilled or not, signifies the end of the contract. If the agreement is successfully completed, that’s fine; if not, there’s a good chance of turning against each other.
The current situation with the three-trunked elephant is different. If it truly becomes a battle beast, it would greatly enhance Cloud Summit. Teacher Park had it perform some actions under her control; it could complete the commands accurately and understand them clearly. Unfortunately, it is still healing from its injuries, so testing its skills is temporarily impossible, which is somewhat regrettable.
However, even if it can follow orders and fulfill all human requests, Ye Zhongming still feels uneasy. Mutation life forms that can evolve to level eight are exceptional in talent. Who knows if it will recover from its brain injury over time? What if, at that point, it suddenly turns against Teacher Park?
Therefore, the safest way is to find a battle beast contract scroll while its intelligence is compromised and complete the signing directly. This would reassure everyone.
Now the question arises; Ye Zhongming doesn’t have such a scroll on hand. If it were a battle beast egg, Ye Zhongming would have a way around it, thanks to the Dream Shards he obtained from the sea giant, which can easily bind the hatched battle beast to its master. However, for the already level eight three-trunked elephant, Dream Shards would be ineffective.
The contract scroll must also be of the highest grade, which isn’t cheap. Ye Zhongming thought for a moment and decided to wait and see if any of the roulette information he recently collected mentioned such a battle beast contract scroll. If there is one, that would be best; he would just go turn it. If not, he would have to issue a bounty task.
Of course, there’s another avenue, which is to seek the assistance of the Ogre Chain for ordering one. But the price would surely be astronomical; unless absolutely necessary, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t choose them.
Before news of a high-level battle beast contract arrives, Ye Zhongming can only let Xia Bai work with Teacher Park. There were no mutation life forms nearby; even the intact three-trunked elephant wouldn’t be a match for Xia Bai.
After settling the three-trunked elephant, Ye Zhongming fell back into a busy schedule. The posthumous child warriors returned to the Blue Secret Realm one after another. They suffered significant losses this time. Although they didn’t mention compensation or anything, Cloud Summit couldn’t turn a blind eye. Even if they would help them defend the Royal City in the future, there would be losses involved. However, after a meeting to discuss this among the core members, they decided to provide the posthumous children with a batch of Evolution Potions and equipment. How to distribute them would be up to King Zun.
During this time, Young Master Yun returned. He had previously been dispatched by Xia Lei to contact Jiā Mín and Daming at the new district base to see if they could absorb them; if not, they could still establish a partnership. However, upon arrival, Young Master Yun discovered that the new district base had already been abandoned and occupied by mutation life forms, and Jiā Mín and the others had disappeared without a trace.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but feel regretful, hoping that these old friends were safe. He later let Young Master Yun, who had missed out on the great battle, take a rest.
Next, during the lull before the siege on Royal City at the Temple of Dawn, the reconstruction of Cloud Summit began. This time, it was more detailed, mainly divided into main battle teams and guardian teams, along with several functional teams.
