The next day.

After discussing with Nangong Luo, Jiang Che summoned all his followers.

Outside Peach Grove Valley, Jiang Che looked at the followers who had rushed over.

Tiger Vanguard, Bear Da and Bear Er, Wu Dalang, Niu Dali, and Chi Lian.

These six beasts now all have late second-tier cultivation, not weak among fierce beasts.

"Great King!"

Tiger Vanguard and the other beasts greeted respectfully.

"Hmm!" Jiang Che nodded.

"Great King, what orders do you have for us this time?"

Tiger Vanguard, ever the smart one, stepped forward with a smile.

Except on tribute days, the Great King rarely summoned them, so there was clearly something to arrange this time.

"Today, I'm calling you here, naturally I have matters to instruct. Previously, humans wanted to invade Changbai Mountain but were easily repelled by me.

Now humans have admitted defeat and retreated a thousand miles from Changbai Mountain. This means that these places are now my territory."

Jiang Che spoke with a calm tone, extremely proud.

"The Great King's might!"

"Congratulations to the Great King on the territorial expansion!"

"The Great King is truly powerful!"

"..."

Hearing this, the beasts were very shocked and all looked at Jiang Che with admiration.

"Alright, quiet down, listen as I continue."

Jiang Che waved his hand, speaking in a calm tone. Once the followers quieted down, he continued, "Since humans have relinquished this area, I must incorporate it under my rule.

You are my most trusted subordinates, and today I am entrusting you with an important task."

"Please speak, Great King. We will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

Tiger Vanguard, who was already prepared, slapped its chest with his tiger paws loudly, shouting with loyalty.

"Don't worry, Great King, we brothers will do better than Tiger Vanguard!"

Bear Da and Bear Er leaned on each other's shoulders, the former nudging the latter with a hearty voice.

"Please instruct us, Great King!"

Wu Dalang, being a man of few words.

Honest Niu Dali and aloof Chi Lian did not speak, merely nodding.

"Very good, it seems everyone is willing. Then let me explain the mission.

This time, you are to gather your followers and go to various places to spread the word... inform all the fierce beasts within this thousand-mile region who the ruler of the land is!

Moreover, any second-tier fierce beasts in this area must come to pay respects to me, offering spiritual objects from their territory. If any refuse, eliminate them directly! Do you understand?"

Jiang Che nodded slightly, his expression turning serious, speaking very earnestly.

"Yes, Great King!"

After listening, the beasts quickly responded.

Then, Jiang Che began making arrangements.

Earlier, Jiang Che had learned all the details of this thousand-mile range within Changbai Mountain from Nangong Luo's communicator.

It was discovered that there were indeed many spiritual lands inside.

If the beasts visited each place one by one, it would take too much time.

Therefore, this time, he divided his followers into five routes.

Bear Da and Bear Er went together, while the other four beasts went alone.

The reason for not separating Bear Da and Bear Er was that the task assigned to them was the heaviest, requiring visits to five spiritual lands, and the range and spiritual qi were quite abundant there, likely with many second-tier fierce beasts inside.

Therefore, having the two beasts work together was safer.

"...Chi Lian, your final destination is the Black Water River. Although the spiritual qi there is not high, the area is large, so it should have produced second-tier fierce beasts.

If any second-tier fierce beast cannot come ashore, it's fine, just have them offer the spiritual object!

Additionally, remember this, should you encounter third-tier fierce beasts, do not engage them. Return directly to inform me, and I will handle it."

At this point, Jiang Che looked around at the beasts, finishing his instructions. Seeing that they had no questions, he waved his hand, "Alright, return with your followers and set off quickly! I shall await your good news here."

Moments later, Tiger Vanguard and the others dispersed and left.

"Haha, now this is delightful, true treatment befitting a king, with underlings to handle everything."

Watching their departing backs, the stern-faced Jiang Che broke into laughter.

"Next, it's just a matter of waiting."

Feeling joyful, Jiang Che walked back to the valley with a light step.

Meanwhile, in the Hazelnut Grove southeast of Changbai Mountain, Bear Da and Bear Er's home was there.

At this moment, Bear Da and Bear Er had just returned.

"Bear Da, is the Great King dissatisfied with you? Why did he assign us a whopping five locations, while the others have only three? We have so many..."

Befuddled on the journey, Bear Er, who had just caught on, suspiciously looked at Bear Da and asked.

Surely, Bear Da must have angered the Great King somehow, dragging them both into trouble.

"Bang!"

Ouch!

"Bear Da, didn't you promise not to smack my head?"

Bear Er cried out in pain, rubbing his head with discontent.

"Bear Er, are you stupid? They're one beast, but we're two! Can't you do the math!"

Bear Da glared at Bear Er, speaking in an exasperated tone.

How could I have such a foolish brother, this fool must have had his brain stung by bees while fetching honey when we were little.

"Hmph! Let's go, I need to hurry and complete the task, don't dawdle."

Seeing Bear Er's aggrieved expression, Bear Da snorted and urged a bit before heading directly towards the Hazelnut Grove.

Seeing Bear Da leaving without him, Bear Er grew anxious and swallowed his grievance, hastily following.

Half a day later, south of Changbai Mountain, two hundred miles away at Zhaohua Mountain.

"Roar!"

In the dim forest, Bear Da let out a furious roar, his teeth sharp as knives, emitting a chilling light, wild like an ancient beast.

A mid-second-tier Red-Horned Ox was pinned down beneath him, struggling constantly, letting out cries of panic.

Surrounding them were four giant bears, including Bear Er and three giant bear underlings.

"Bear Da, stop pressing, stop pressing, it's about to die!"

Seeing the Red-Horned Ox foaming at the mouth, its cries dwindling, Bear Er spoke up, trying to dissuade Bear Da, who was losing his head.

Bear Da snapped out of it and quickly got off the Red-Horned Ox.

Instantly, the Red-Horned Ox relaxed, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily, eyes full of pleading.

"Hmph, now you're quiet, let's see if you'll be so arrogant next time.

Bear Er, go explain everything the Great King instructed clearly!"

Seeing the Red-Horned Ox submit, Bear Da huffed satisfied, then started instructing Bear Er on what to do.

"I quit, I can't handle this job, Bear Da, why don't you do it instead!"

Bear Er immediately wore a bitter face, shaking his big head rapidly.

This task is a hardship, like chicken talking to ducks, requiring going back and forth numerous times for these creatures to understand, wasting much saliva, I'm parched right now.

"We agreed beforehand, I'd deal with these creatures, and you handle communication. What? Planning to back out?"

Bear Da glared at Bear Er, rebuking him.

"Sigh!"

Bear Er sighed, dejectedly.

Previously thinking it was a sweet deal, not realizing it was a big pit.

Reluctantly, Bear Er could only go up and communicate cross-species with the Red-Horned Ox.

On the side, Bear Da watched with an expression full of satisfaction.
