C33 Arrogant Prick!

Phew...

Abruptly, Little Purple turned around, looked at h deep stream, and groaned.

Finally safe, Zhan Tianming drew deep breaths with great difficulty.

He had forgotten that he couldn't swim.

That jump just now... it was pain.

"Master, don't just stand there. Let's leave quickly. This stream is filled with strong demonic beasts," said Little Purple in an uncharacteristically serious tone.

A second before, he felt pain. A second later, he felt pain and frustration.

'Why is this like this?'

'I just escaped from the King Kong freak, and now some even stronger demonic beasts have their eyes on me.'

Run—that was the only option left.

After climbing back up, Zhan Tianming returned Little Purple to the War Pet space and ran.

Fortunately, the monster living in the stream did not chase after him.

In the eyes of that monster, Zhan Tianming was probably not all that appetizing, or maybe it didn't like how thin he was.

After leaving that stream far behind, Zhan Tianming asked, "Bajie, what rank is the demonic beast in the stream?"

"It's at least a Third Grade Demonic Beast," Little Purple said.

"Third Grade?" Zhan Tianming shook his head.

Even his Beast Control skill couldn't tame someone this strong.

'Well, I'll let you live a little longer.'

'Next time, this daddy will definitely deal with you.'

Zhan Tianming had to start taming beasts again.

He had to control 100 beasts and use the Hundred Beasts Extermination to obtain a 100% success rate. His last opportunity had been wasted on the Black King Ant, so he could only try again.

Just when Zhan Tianming was looking for a new target...

The sharp system notification sound rang in his head.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has killed the Purple Cloud Reptile. You are rewarded with 200 experience points."

"Hmm? What the hell is this?"

Zhan Tianming was startled.

He hadn't killed anything yet.

Why did such a prompt appear?

Did he hit the jackpot again?

He lowered his head and looked.

'Hmm... No here.'

'Then where...'

'Not even there.'

Even after looking around for a while, Zhan Tianming just couldn't find this Purple Cloud Reptile.

'Ehh... is this a hallucination.'

'This had to be a hallucination, right?'

Zhan Tianming slapped his ears hard, and some of the water flowed out.

'Forget it; let's just look for the next target.'

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has killed the Green Algae Moth. You are rewarded with 15 experience points."

"No way. Again?"

Zhan Tianming was stunned.

'If the first one was a hallucination, what is this?'

'It can't be hallucination again, right?'

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming has killed the Hundred Armored Beetle. You are rewarded with 75 experience points."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations! Host Zhan Tianming..."

"Wait! Could it be..."

Slowly, Zhan Tianming's face revealed a look of understanding.

The sense of unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

At this moment, a rustling sound could be heard.

Zhan Tianming looked towards the source of the sound and saw the Black King Ant crawling out from the grass. It crawled to his feet and used its head to rub itself against the corner of his pants. Behind the Black King Ant was a large group of slightly smaller black king ants, densely packed, probably over a thousand.

"It's the queen of this colony?"

Zhan Tianming was startled. He lowered his head and looked at the Black King Ant beside his feet.

He scratched his head, puzzled.

"Weren't the queen ants supposed to have big bellies? Why does this one look so ordinary?"

"Master, this isn't an ant queen; it's an ant king," Little Purple corrected him.

"Ant King?" Zhan Tianming was suspicious.

He only knew about the ant queens and had no idea what ant kings were.

"Ugh..." Little Purple revealed a look of disappointment as if saying, "Master, you are too ignorant and uneducated."

"Bajie, what's that look I see in your eyes?" Zhan Tianming's face darkened.

"No, it's nothing!" Little Purple shook his head like a drum.

Zhan Tianming retracted his gaze.

'Fine.'

'I'll just have to use the knowledge I gained back on Earth somewhere else.'

'Ant king, huh.'

'I learned something new today.'

'Then again, isn't this cheat just overpowered'

If he could control an ant king, he would literally have a group of black king ants working for him. Wasn't this a little too good to be true?

Unlike Little Purple, Zhan Tianming couldn't direct human orders to the Black King Ant.

However, they could still understand Zhan Tianming's orders.

Thus, with hundreds upon hundreds of black king ants, Zhan Tianming began a sweeping operation.

Those black king ants were a fifth-grade Vicious Beast at best.

However, their true strength laid in their number.

Wherever the horde of ants charged to, beasts and vicious beasts alike would be overturned.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

"Haha!"

"Awesome!"

"It feels so good!"

He had to do nothing, yet his experience points kept on rising. It was... cathartic.

Following behind the colony of ants, Zhan Tianming tried to communicate with the ant king.

Gradually, the ant king began understanding some more complex commands.

Very quickly, those ant colonies began to catch and bring back living beasts and vicious beasts.

Then, Zhan Tianming would just use Beast Control on them.

One head... Five Heads...

Ten...

30 heads...

99…

He could tame no more.

Right now, he could only tame 99 beasts.

Why? Well, you are really bad at math. It's because the ant king had already taken a spot.

Zhan Tianming did not mind.

He drove a large group of black king ants to continue suppressing the tamed beasts.

For the ant king, Zhan Tianming had to keep the one-hour time limit in his mind. So, to keep the king in a tight hold, he would activate the Beast Control every 50 minutes and regain his control.

"Humph!"

"Stinky gorilla, this time, why don't you just obediently lie down?"

Bringing the colony of ants, Zhan Tianming arrived at the Crimson Flame Ape's territory once again. Then, he ordered the ant king to disperse the Black King Ants.

After the colony of ants left, Zhan Tianming threw out a punch that contained the might of a hundred beasts.

"Hundred Beasts Extermination!"

Rumble!

One punch and a hundred beasts died.

"Ding dong..."

Zhan Tianming once again obtained a 100% success rate in taming beasts.

After that, he marched towards Crimson Flame Ape.

His eyes were filled with mockery this time.

"You brat! Initially, I didn't want to tame you, but you had to be so damn cocky, didn't you?"

"Wanna hunt me down?"

"If I don't make you kneel today, I won't be Zhan Tianming!"

Zhan Tianming stared straight at the Crimson Flame Ape and activated the Beast Control skill he had already prepared.

"Roar!"

Upon seeing Zhan Tianming, the Crimson Flame Ape roared angrily. It's two large fists that were like red-hot hammers struck its chest with a loud bang, releasing a cluster of flames.

A pair of angry eyes stared straight at Zhan Tianming.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, the Crimson Flame Ape rushed towards Zhan Tianming, causing the ground and the mountains to shake.

In that wide-grinning mouth of it, four sharp fangs could be seen.

Red...

Even the fangs were red and seemed as if they were enveloped by flames.

Too strange!

In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Flame Ape was less than fifteen meters away from Zhan Tianming.

To the Crimson Flame Ape, he was literally at arm's length; after all, it was a walking koppie.

Just at the moment...

Whoosh!

The Crimson Flame Ape raised its thick and red-furred arm and smashed towards Zhan Tianming.

"Beast Tamer!"

A circle of light that only Zhan Tianming could see instantly spread outwards.

"Ding dong!"

The ape's humongous fist was centimeters away from turning Zhan Tianming into a meat patty when the system notification rang in his head.

"Beast taming success. Proficiency increased by 5 points."

The ape's fist stopped.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

The ape growled and retracted its fist immediately, scratching its head with a look of fear and trepidation.

Zhan Tianming jumped up and threw a punch.

Bang!

The impact caused the Flame Red Ape to fall to the ground.

Crack, crack, crack!

Without stopping, Zhan Tianming released all his anger on the ape.

Finally feeling a bit better, he patted his hands and snorted towards the Crimson Flame Ape.

"Damn! Aren't you very arrogant?"

"Why don't you try to be arrogant again?'

"Prick!"

"No, arrogant prick!"
