Meng Province Military Region.

In a quiet meeting room, the military region commander was being interviewed by the Great Qin Empire Television Station.

Lin Liming sat upright, his expression stern, exuding a hard-line military demeanor.

Opposite him sat a highly capable female reporter with a microphone in hand.

A tape recorder was placed on the table, with the television station's crew in the background.

"Commander Lin, now that the Immortal Divine Treasure has emerged on the Great Prairie, what deployments have our Meng Province Military Region made?"

The reporter extended the microphone toward Lin Liming.

"To safeguard the Immortal Divine Treasure, under the guidance of the Imperial Capital, our Meng Province Military Region has dispatched a large number of troops deep into the prairie.

We have already cleared the fierce beasts within a ten-mile radius and completed the control setup.

We are continuously attacking the approaching fierce beasts to ensure that no beast can breach the defense line and get close to the Immortal Divine Treasure.

Please rest assured, people of the Great Qin Empire, our Meng Province Military Region will never let the Immortal Divine Treasure slip from our Great Qin Empire's hands."

Lin Liming unhesitatingly disclosed the recent affairs of the Meng Province Military Region.

However, he did not mention the incident of the Black Demon Tiger killing a patrol squad and entering the defense zone.

After all, this interview will be used as news to reassure the public.

Revealing this matter recklessly could cause alarm among the people of the Great Qin Empire, rendering this interview meaningless.

"Recently, the issue of the Immortal Divine Treasure has been highly popular online. Even now, there are still some netizens who do not heed warnings and intend to come to the Great Prairie to seize the treasure. Do you have any advice for them?"

The female reporter nodded and brought up the previously highly popular online discussion of forming groups to grab the treasure.

"Here, I advise those civilian Extraordinary who wish to come to the Great Prairie not to do so.

The Great Prairie is presently more dangerous than ever. Not only fierce beasts from Meng Province, but also from surrounding provinces are gathering here, even forming small-scale beast tides.

Moreover, under the influence of the Immortal Divine Treasure, these beasts have become extremely agitated.

If you encounter them, they will attack immediately, and soon more beasts will join in, making it extremely perilous."

Lin Liming spoke gravely, his expression serious.

"Here, I also hope that everyone can heed Commander Lin's warnings.

Commander Lin, it is said that the Black Demon Tiger is still on the Great Prairie?"

"That's right, our Meng Province Military Region has been tracking the Black Demon Tiger's whereabouts, but this beast is truly cunning."

Lin Liming nodded without changing his expression.

"If the Black Demon Tiger appears this time, can the military region seize the Immortal Divine Treasure? Or is there any preparation in this regard?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"We have long anticipated the Black Demon Tiger's interference with treasure hunting.

For this reason, our Meng Province Military Region, along with the Imperial Capital Headquarters, has formulated a 'Tiger Slaying Plan' specifically against the Black Demon Tiger.

If that creature dares to appear, it will not return!"

Lin Liming's expression turned stern, his eyes cold and murderous as he spoke.

"Thank you, Commander Lin..."

After the interview concluded, the news produced by the television station was broadcast and spread online at a rapid pace.

"Hehe, the official's 'Tiger Slaying Plan' sounds nice, but even the Extraordinary team led by the First War General was beaten to a mess. What will they win with this time?"

"Stop spouting nonsense! The official must be confident if they're taking action. If they can successfully kill the Black Demon Tiger this time, it'll be great."

"I have a reasonable suspicion that the country has developed the Third Generation Genetic Potion, otherwise, how can they be so confident?

Support, full support, kill that Black Demon Tiger mutt!"

"Since the Qin Army has a way to deal with the Black Demon Tiger, does that mean we can go to the Great Prairie?

Even if we can't grab the Immortal Divine Treasure, we can at least have a look!"

"If you want to die, go ahead. Didn't you hear Commander Lin talk about the beast tide? Going there is likely just to fill the belly of fierce beasts.

Still, it's a pity not to witness the Qin Army taking down the Black Demon Tiger."

...

Online, the netizens' discussions were extremely intense, but generally, the entire Great Qin Empire wanted the Black Demon Tiger to die.

Great Prairie

Outside the ten-mile defense zone.

Jiang Che and Nangong Luo, concealed, hid in a natural cave formed by a fissure, constantly observing the movements within the defense zone.

Inside the cave, Jiang Che was playing with Little Purple.

Jiang Che swung his tiger paw, flattening the pointed tip of a stalactite column on the ground, and used Spiritual Power to take a glittering Spirit Fruit from his back.

Then, Jiang Che placed the Spirit Fruit on it, looking at Little Purple below with a mischievous grin, tempting, "Little Purple, if you can climb up this column, that Spirit Fruit up there is yours."

"Chirp!"

Upon hearing the owner's words, Little Purple nodded excitedly, its eyes glinting at the Spirit Fruit above, drooling everywhere.

"Alright, alright, my Little Purple is indeed amazing, go for it!"

Jiang Che encouraged Little Purple, eyes revealing a sense of success in mischief.

"Chirp!"

"Master, just watch! Little Purple is very strong and can climb up soon."

Little Purple proudly lifted its head but kept its gaze fixed on the Spirit Fruit above, poised to leap forward.

You should know, even after Jiang Che scavenged the entire Great Snow Mountain, Spirit Fruits weren't limitless.

So, under Nangong Luo's plan, Little Purple and she took just enough Spirit Fruit daily to satisfy a day's training.

In other words, their daily Spirit Fruit was rationed.

But Little Purple is a little glutton. How is that small amount enough?

Thus, it frequently protested Nangong Luo's decision and even ran to Jiang Che to complain, but to no avail.

Now, with Jiang Che offering a Spirit Fruit, gluttonous Little Purple naturally didn't want to miss it.

In the next second, Little Purple dashed toward the column on its four tiny legs.

Squeak~

Unexpectedly, the column's surface was too slippery, and whenever Little Purple reached halfway, it slid down uncontrollably like a pancake off a pan.

"Chirp, chirp!"

After multiple attempts but still failing, Little Purple became dejected.

"Chirp, Master is bad, tricking Little Purple!"

Seeing Jiang Che laughing uncontrollably, Little Purple immediately understood it was tricked, charged over angrily.

Its two little paws incessantly attacking Jiang Che's fluffy tiger paws.

"Stop, it tickles."

Jiang Che instinctively retracted his forelegs; Little Purple's attack was mere tickling to him.

But Little Purple wouldn't stop, pursuing and scratching relentlessly.

While Jiang Che and Little Purple played around, Nangong Luo checked the online information on the side.

Suddenly, Nangong Luo's eyes shifted, quickly calling to Jiang Che nearby, "Brother, come here and see this news."

"What is it?"

Handing the Spirit Fruit on the column to Little Purple to appease it, Jiang Che quickly walked over.

"A 'Tiger Slaying Plan' formulated by humans against Black Demon Tiger?"

Jiang Che read the content on the light screen and immediately understood; the humans were guarding against the second.

Since that's the case, let the second blaze a trail.
