Chapter 297 This Is the Power of Love

Li Qian stood on the wall of Outpost No. 9, staring silently. Soon, he discovered something was wrong.

"I remember that the one-horned rhinoceros should be a very docile extraordinary creature. How could it be so violent?" He asked Tie Lao who was not far away.

"On weekdays, he is indeed very docile and rarely attacks human beastmasters. This is also what puzzles me." Tie Lao frowned.

Li Qian continued to think and slowly saw some clues, "I remember that this season seems to be the breeding season for one-horned rhinoceros and one-horned tyrannosaurus..."

He murmured to himself, and slowly, he got some clues. This information was something he had seen before in the information he copied from the Mu family.

"Could it be related to this, Mr. Tie? Why don't you go to the station and see if any adventurers hunted the one-horned rhinoceros?" Li Qian suggested.

Tie Lao felt it was a bit ridiculous. It was unlikely to be the reason, but there were no other clues at the moment, so he just gave it a try.

He ordered other personnel on duty at the outpost to search the station. The outpost was not big, about the size of a small town.

Not long after, while the Wind Thunder Lion and Thunder Griffin were having a fierce battle with a group of one-horned rhinoceros, a burst of beast roars suddenly sounded in the station.

"Ho ho ho..."

These beast roars appeared suddenly. It was obvious that some pet beast had been summoned or released from the beast control ball.

Tie Lao had been on duty at this outpost for more than three days and was quite familiar with the roar of the one-horned rhinoceros, so he immediately identified the extraordinary creatures behind the roars of these beasts.

It's the one-horned rhinoceros.

"Damn!" Just when he couldn't help but complain, guessing that Li Qian's words might have hit him right, a guard on duty hurried over.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and release those one-horned rhinos!"

"Compensation? Compensation! Those gang of pet dealers arrested one-horned rhinos indiscriminately and almost caused a group of one-horned rhinos to riot. It's a good thing that I didn't settle the score with them!"

After listening to the report from the officer on duty and confirming that the incident was really caused by the pet dealers in the outpost capturing a large number of one-horned rhinos, Tie Lao couldn't help but curse.

"If you want compensation, yes, let them come and talk to me in person."

Tie Lao gave the order extremely forcefully. The young guard did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately retreated to carry out his order.

"Hurry up!" Irina urged when she saw several unicorn tyrannosaurus not far away that were ready to move after hearing the roar in the outpost.

The group of one-horned tyrannosaurs was quite large in number, with seven or eight of them, and their strength had reached the overlord level. If they rushed over together, they would definitely cause huge trouble to them.

Tie Lao also saw this scene. He suddenly turned back and glanced angrily at a certain location in the station.

As the summoning circle lit up, Li Qian's familiar pet beast, the four-winged mantis, suddenly appeared. Tie Lao and it had a similar mind, so the four-winged mantis immediately knew Tie Lao's purpose of summoning it.

Without any delay, it moved quickly and disappeared abruptly. After a few breaths, a group of people appeared on the wall of Outpost No. 9.

The older ones were in their forties or fifties, and the younger ones were in their early thirties. They were all shocked when they suddenly appeared.

After he had a clear view of the situation and where he was, he took a long breath.

Tie Lao glanced at them, and without giving them time to adapt, he said directly: "Now, you have two choices. First, release all the captured one-horned rhinos. Second, continue to cover them." These one-horned rhinos, I will send you out to communicate with them.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the battle scene ahead, his tone cold and devoid of emotion.

There were five people in total, all of whom were the pet traders who captured the one-horned rhino this time. They glanced at it subconsciously, and couldn't help but wince when they saw the fierce battle scene under the city wall.

"This..." One of them, who seemed to be the oldest, couldn't help but chattered his teeth when he saw this scene, and his voice faltered.

"You only have one minute to think." After being given the choice, Tie Lao looked at his watch and made a countdown gesture.

"This leader probably has nothing to do with us. We have hunted a lot of one-horned rhinos in the past, but this has never happened before!" A thin man with a mustache who looked to be in his mid-thirties He spoke.

Tie Lao didn't speak, still looking at his watch, as if he didn't intend to explain. After a moment, he said directly: "There are still thirty seconds!"

When the man with the mustache heard this, he immediately became nervous, "You can't do this, I want to complain. You are taking advantage of others and it is not in compliance with the rules and regulations!"

"Yes, we have worked hard for more than half a month, and you can't let us get nothing."

"I need some compensation!"

"..."

The five pet beast merchants began to discuss one after another, as if they were preparing to force the emperor to go to the palace.

However, Tie Lao didn't even look at him. He was still looking ahead, staring at the reactions of the one-horned tyrannosaurs.

"Ten seconds left!" Tie Lao's cold voice sounded again.

The five people looked at each other with complex expressions on their faces, including unwillingness, helplessness, dejection, struggle... In the end, they all turned into sighs!

They all took out the beast control balls in their arms and released the one-horned rhinos one by one.

"There are quite a few of them." Li Qian couldn't help but mutter as he looked at the more than 100 released one-horned rhinos.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

After being released, the one-horned rhinos were confused for a short time, and soon became excited. They ran towards the tribe not far away and roared excitedly.

Irina and Tie Lao also took the opportunity to communicate with the Thunder Griffin and the Wind Thunder Lion, asking them to withdraw.

This group of one-horned rhinos, about 100 heads, soon gathered with the tribe, and the rioting one-horned rhinoceros tribe gradually calmed down.

"Now, do you still think it's not your fault..." Tie Lao glanced at the five pet merchants coldly, "This is the best result. If the No. 9 outpost is destroyed, it won't be as simple as taking out the beast control ball. You may have to work on sewing machines for the rest of your lives."

"But before..." Seeing the herd of unicorn rhinos and several unicorn tyrannosaurus retreat, the five pet merchants were also a little dumbfounded. This was the first time they encountered such a situation. One of the pet merchants wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say after he opened his mouth.

Li Qian smiled and explained for him, "The situation is different before and now. This period is the breeding season of unicorn rhinos. You forcibly broke up so many couples in love. How can they not be furious!"

"I see!" After hearing this, the five pet merchants all looked enlightened.

Li Qian looked at Tie Lao and added meaningfully, "This is... the power of love!"

When he said this, he also glanced at Teacher Han Ke intentionally or unintentionally, and the hidden meaning was intriguing.

Tie Lao was not stupid, so how could he not understand the hidden meaning in Li Qian's words? For once, his old face turned red and he was at a loss.
