220: Taming the Elephants

Over a dozen Mammoth Giant Elephants charged forward, like a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses on a rampage.

Trees fell, the earth trembled, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Qin Shi Lei carried Kong Qingshu and instantly teleported behind the giant elephants to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

"Qing Shu, be careful yourself."

After Qin Shi Lei finished speaking, he transformed into a phantom and caught up with the last Mammoth Giant Elephant, then stabbed its thigh with his sword.

Divine Power Stiffening instantly took effect.

The Mammoth Giant Elephant immediately stiffened, but due to inertia, it continued to charge forward, then crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

Qin Shi Lei formed a hand seal and pressed it towards the giant elephant.

The giant elephant, struck by the hand seal, showed a hint of struggle in its eyes, but being still stiff, it couldn't react at all.

This was only a Bronze Seven-star Mammoth Giant Elephant; its mental power was far lower than Qin Shi Lei's, so it was quickly tamed by Qin Shi Lei and became his pet.

Perhaps hearing the sound behind them, the group of giant elephants turned around and charged towards Qin Shi Lei again.

Qin Shi Lei instantly teleported to another direction again, quickly taming another Mammoth Giant Elephant with the same operation.

After repeating this operation for more than ten minutes, Qin Shi Lei had tamed all fifteen weaker Mammoth Giant Elephants, leaving only the largest and strongest one.

"Moo!"

The Mammoth Giant Elephant let out a huge roar, then turned and fled deep into the forest.

It really couldn't understand why its companions had disappeared one by one, and why it could never catch up to that little human.

Fearing that it would also follow in its companions' footsteps, this king of Mammoth Giant Elephants could only choose to flee.

However, from the moment the giant elephant encountered Qin Shi Lei, its fate was sealed.

Before it could run more than ten meters, Qin Shi Lei caught up to it and used his Divine Power to pin it in place.

Qin Shi Lei again formed a hand seal and pressed it towards the opponent.

Their mental powers connected.

The Mammoth Giant Elephant fiercely resisted Qin Shi Lei's forceful taming.

Two seconds later, the Mammoth Giant Elephant stood up from the ground and violently rammed Qin Shi Lei with its sharp tusks.

Qin Shi Lei dodged left and right for ten seconds, then used his Divine Power to pin the opponent again.

This time, he took out a contract scroll to assist in contracting this Mammoth Giant Elephant.

Two seconds later, the contract still failed.

The Mammoth Giant Elephant, once again free, raised its two thick elephant legs high.

As soon as Qin Shi Lei saw this action from the giant elephant, he understood that the opponent was preparing to unleash the Ground Stomp ability.

Ground Stomp: The Mammoth Giant Elephant stomps the ground fiercely with its elephant legs, emitting a shockwave that not only causes great damage to creatures within twenty meters but also has a high chance of stunning enemies.

Seeing this, Qin Shi Lei immediately teleported away from the attack range of Ground Stomp, and after ten seconds, pinned the Mammoth Giant Elephant again.

With the ultimate skill of teleportation and Divine Power Stiffening, the last Mammoth Giant Elephant still succumbed to Qin Shi Lei's fifth attempt at taming.

With the protection of the giant elephant herd, Qin Shi Lei and Kong Qingshu were too lazy to go back and crowd into the cave with Xu Jun and the others; they simply set up a tent nearby, preparing to camp.

Kong Qingshu was making a fire and roasting mutated beast meat, while Qin Shi Lei was refreshing the entries for the largest Mammoth Giant Elephant.

"Do you want to refresh the entries?"

"Refresh."

Deterrence (Green): Has a deterrent effect on enemies weaker than oneself, reducing the enemy's strength by thirty percent.

Collective Charge (Red): Can lead the elephant herd in a collective charge, increasing speed by thirty percent, defense by thirty percent, lasting for three minutes, with a cooldown of ten minutes.

Lead Elephant Herd (Red): Has a natural ability to command elephant herds, making it easier to subdue weaker giant elephants as one's subordinates.

Qin Shi Lei thought about it and decided to fix the Collective Charge entry for it.

The Lead Elephant Herd entry was also very good, but it required finding a suitable elephant herd, and even if hundreds or thousands of giant elephants were found, feeding them would be a big problem. Qin Shi Lei could only choose to go the elite soldier route.

This Mammoth Giant Elephant was at the Silver Seven-star realm and could fix a total of three entries. Qin Shi Lei continued to refresh.

Finally, he also fixed the entries Tough Hide and Glutton.

Tough Hide (Red): The Mammoth Giant Elephant's defense is doubled, lasting for three minutes, with a cooldown of two hours.

Glutton (Red): The 'Glutton' allows the Mammoth Giant Elephant to go three months without eating after one sufficient meal. The 'Glutton' stores a large amount of water resources, which can be sprayed as powerful water streams from its trunk.

"Since I've fixed the Glutton entry, you'll be called 'Fatty' from now on," Qin Shi Lei named the Mammoth Giant Elephant.

"Qin Dage, the name you chose is too ugly. How about 'Tank'?" Kong Qingshu suggested.

"Alright, from now on, it will be called Tank. I hope it can charge straight ahead and be invincible like a Tank."

Qin Shi Lei was very satisfied with the pet name Kong Qingshu chose, and then he fixed a 'Calm and Unruffled' entry for Kong Qingshu.

Calm and Unruffled (Purple): The host's movement is as ethereal and light as the wind, speed is permanently increased by fifty percent, has a thirty percent chance to evade enemy attacks, and can temporarily fly on the wind.

After dinner, the two lay close together on the grass, looking at the starry sky.

"Qin Dage, we're getting stronger and stronger. Can we fly to the stars someday?" Kong Qingshu said with a longing expression.

"One day, I will definitely take you to soar among the stars and explore the mysterious universe," Qin Shi Lei said softly, holding her hand.

"Then if I want the stars in the sky, will you help me pick them too?" Kong Qingshu turned her head and asked.

"Hehe, for now, let me take you to the clouds, and we'll talk about the stars later," Qin Shi Lei said with a mischievous expression.

"You bad guy, you're too dirty... Not here, let's go into the tent."

Soon, the sounds of the two climbing towards the clouds echoed from inside the tent.

........

The next day, Qin Shi Lei led the people of Xu Family Stronghold grandly towards Hope City.

When they arrived at Puchang City, Qin Shi Lei suddenly pointed at Puchang City and said, "Xu Jun, I order you to lead the Dragon Tiger Society to clear out the zombies inside and establish a stronghold here. Are you willing?"

Xu Jun clasped his hands and replied, "This subordinate is willing. I will definitely establish a strong stronghold in Puchang City."

He had found his enemy, Xu Shen, among the unconscious crowd yesterday and had avenged himself by torturing him to death.

In addition, Qin Shi Lei had allowed him to record the Gu Insect Scripture yesterday.

At this moment, Xu Jun was both grateful and respectful towards Qin Shi Lei, so he agreed to Qin Shi Lei's command without hesitation.

Qin Shi Lei spoke again, "I will have people from Hope City come to help you, but after clearing out the zombies here, you will need to guard this place."

"Thank you for the City Lord's arrangement," Xu Jun sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Qin Shi Lei chose to establish a stronghold in Puchang City, over three hundred kilometers from Hope City, precisely because of the Ice Secret Realm within the Xu Family Stronghold forbidden area.

Although the Ice Secret Realm couldn't grow mutated corn like the small world in Hope City, it would have other uses, which was why he wanted to establish a stronghold here.

At this moment, the zombies in Puchang City also discovered Qin Shi Lei and his group, and they roared as they charged over.
