"After I get through tonight, I'll go investigate that catastrophic creature."

This time, Mr. Feng replied almost instantly.

"Okay, Fei. We'll wait for you."

"By the way... we've received information that the new director of the New Territories City Security Department will also enter the Boundless Heart Sea tonight, and then hold a small symposium there."

"To listen to the opinions of the heads of various bases and to provide corresponding support."

Upon seeing the message, Tang Feifei paused slightly in her hand movements.

'The new head of the security department?'

'That... woman named "Rain Butterfly"?'

Tang Feifei's eyes flickered as she thought of that somewhat beautiful woman.

Actually... she and Yu Die were "old friends". Because... long before Qiu Tu, Yu Die was one of Tang Feifei's few collaborators.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept Su Xiaowan by her side to pass on intelligence.

Sometimes, when the information is too important, Yu Die will even enter Su Xiaowan's body to exchange information with Tang Feifei face-to-face.

However... to avoid suspicion of leaking departmental information, Tang Feifei and Yu Die have been pretending not to know each other.

Therefore, Tang Feifei would occasionally keep an eye on Yu Die's situation. This led to her being extremely shocked by Yu Die's recent promotion.

Head of Investigation Section - Head of Intelligence System, Security Department - Director of Security Department....

In just a few months, after making several great contributions, Yu Die rose through the ranks like a rocket, as if she were on a promotion machine!

His promotion speed was almost comparable to Qiu Tu's.

If the security departments in various cities weren't still part of the military system and not yet fully independent, Yu Die would have taken advantage of the departmental promotion to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang Feifei.

Therefore, Tang Feifei was actually very curious about this legendary figure on the secret front....

In particular, now that she is the director of the Investigation Bureau, she no longer needs to be so meticulous in many things, so she feels that perhaps she can have a good talk with Yu Die.

She even thought it was possible for the two of them to become friends...

With that in mind, Tang Feifei put the communicator aside and continued to handle her official duties.

Perhaps awakened by Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei, who previously had "no man in her heart," is now incredibly calm, and even her work efficiency has improved significantly...

.....

The day passed quickly.

That evening, Qiu Tu returned to the villa where he and Fang Tangtang lived.

These past two days, Qiu Tu wasn't home, and the little girl seemed a bit bored. When Qiu Tu returned, she was in the dining room, sitting quietly arranging flowers.

She was already extremely beautiful, with a small, oval face and big, watery eyes, looking pure and lovely. Since she didn't know Qiu Tu was coming back, she hadn't even put on makeup, making her look two years younger.

That youthful innocence in her eyes and brows, mixed with her gradually maturing body developed by Qiu Tu, and bathed in the warm yellow light, truly created an alluring, almost criminal, aura...

However, Qiu Tu had important business to attend to tonight, so although he was a little envious of the little white rabbit he was raising, he ultimately restrained his inner excitement.

—Anyway, the little rabbit is still in my hands, so there's no rush to eat it now. It'll be better to eat it peacefully after I've finished my business!

Thinking this, Qiu Tu greeted Fang Tangtang, chatted with her for a bit to increase her favorability, and then went up to the guest room on the second floor.

After locking the guest room door, Qiu Tu locked "Female Slave La Ri Luo" in the safe, and then took out several Cataclysmic Treasures that he had accumulated during this period.

There's the "Charm Skull" that Shen Lingshuang made for Qiu Tu some time ago (Chapter 302). There's the "Communication Silkworm" and the "Ghostly Map" (Chapter 152). There's also the Slave Bracelet (Chapter 335).

The Ghost Map's function is to consume a small portion of mental energy to generate a ghost similar in size to oneself, but without a physical form.

The areas that the ghost has traversed will be naturally depicted on the map.

It is a special type of treasure for exploring secret realms.

However... Qiu Tu felt that using it to draw his own "territory" map should be fine too.

The "slave bracelet" is even more special.

According to the description of the "Loyalty Game", you can control the behavior of a creature or command it by putting the bracelet on it.

Although the creature was conscious, it could not control its own body and could only obediently follow orders.

It can be considered an extremely terrifying cataclysmic artifact.

Of course... the more powerful the Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm, the greater its limitations. This Cataclysmic Noble Phantasm is no exception.

Not only does it require a certain amount of mental energy to control "slaves," but it also... cannot control beings with stronger mental energy than itself.

What's more troublesome is that... this bracelet can only be used for 10 hours at a time. If you exceed 10 hours, the consumption doubles, and if you exceed 10 hours again, the consumption doubles again.

In other words, to control a creature for an extended period of time, one's mental strength must far surpass that of the creature.

After checking his several Cataclysmic Artifacts, Qiu Tu didn't care whether they were usable or not; instead, he put them all close to his body.

According to what he learned from Tang Feifei about the soul's "ascension" to the boundless sea of ​​the heart.

As long as you carry things from the material world with you, they can appear in the boundless sea of ​​the mind along with living beings.

However... if the things in the boundless sea of ​​the mind want to materialize in the real world, then a corresponding price must be paid.

This cost can be spiritual energy, gold, or even a cataclysmic artifact of a corresponding grade, cataclysmic materials, etc.

After recalling all the information about the "Boundless Sea of ​​Hearts," Qiu Tu carefully packed everything he had prepared, then lay down on the bed, clutching the "Charm Skull," and began to sleep...

I don't know how much time passed; it could have been a minute, or it could have been a full hour.

When Qiu Tu regained consciousness, he found that he had somehow gotten up from the bed.

A massive gate, faintly visible yet gleaming with dazzling white light, stood silently before Qiu Tu.

It seems to have existed since time immemorial, connecting the real world with the boundless sea of ​​the mind.

Qiu Tu looked down and checked his equipment. After making sure he hadn't forgotten anything, he slowly pushed open the door and went inside.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt as his soul stepped out of the portal of light, as if it had received a special blessing, preventing it from being blown away by the occasional gusts of calamity in the boundless sea of ​​his heart...

Stepping out of the portal, Qiu Tu found himself in front of a vast, endless primeval forest.

Even though he had seen it many times in his memory, Qiu Tu's eyes were still filled with shock when he saw such a huge primeval forest appear out of nowhere in front of him!

Those trees, dozens of meters tall, stood tall and straight, their branches and leaves intertwined to form a huge green canopy, cutting the sky into irregular blue fragments.

Sunlight filters through their canopies, dappling the ground and creating interplay of light and shadow.

The tree trunks were covered with moss and vines, and the air was moist and fresh, carrying the fragrance of soil and leaves.

Birdsong rose and fell, clear and melodious; tiny insects flitted among the fallen leaves, searching for food and roosting places...

This felt like a paradise on earth. Compared to the devastated, ravaged real world, what lay before me seemed to be the true reality...

'Is this the boundless sea of ​​the mind?'

Qiu Tu glanced at the primeval forest in front of him with some surprise, then turned to look behind him.

Behind me, a white mist filled the sky and earth, fainter nearby and thicker in the distance, as if representing a journey into the unknown.

This is the most dangerous level in the Boundless Sea of ​​the Heart: if you don't have specific coordinates, after traversing between areas several times, you may never know your location or which area of ​​the Boundless Sea you've reached...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu withdrew his gaze and looked at the primeval forest in front of him.

He didn't rush in, but instead... looked around and, seeing that no one was there, began to summon his "pet"—a fourth-tier cataclysmic creature, the Emerald Shadow Dragon Daitou—according to Lariluo's method!

......

Meanwhile, Qiu Tu was summoning the Emerald Shadow Dragon.

About a kilometer away from him, at the confluence of the forest and the river.

A small, metal-made "Boundless Heart Sea Outpost" rose from the ground. This was a mobile base built at great expense by the various factions to protect the area.

It is generally used for operations deep behind enemy lines, exploration in remote wilderness areas, and the exploration of boundless inner worlds, etc.

Meanwhile, in one of the conference rooms at the outpost base.

Tang Feifei was listening to the report from the "Fengtian Clique" expert group.

The expert team was led by the same expert Tang Feifei had contacted today: Professor Feng.

Old Feng was an old man who looked to be in his sixties. His full head of white hair and wrinkles showed how difficult his life had been.

"Based on our investigation tonight, we can be fairly certain that a dragon-shaped, Tier 4 Cataclysmic creature does indeed exist in the New Territories!"

"If our investigation is correct, we can roughly determine that this catastrophic creature is a 'Green Shadow Dragon'."

"The Emerald Shadow Dragon is a very special dragon-shaped cataclysmic creature. Although they are physically strong and powerful, they have a particular fondness for planting trees."

"Where they are, other things may be lacking, but trees will never be lacking. Because... even the most barren land can be transformed into a forest!"

At this point, Old Feng paused, then added, "Therefore, this also makes it unacceptable for the Emerald Shadow Dragon to engage in logging, forest destruction, and other such activities."

“So…” Old Feng said with a bit of a headache, “our method of gradually finding regional hubs as we advance the logging process may need to be changed.”

Meanwhile, at the outpost, the security team, including Yu Die, who had also used the "Charm Skull" to reach the Boundless Heart Sea region, was quietly listening to the expert's report.

After hearing that the fourth-tier cataclysmic creature was "peace-loving" and generally wouldn't attack unprovoked, Yu Die breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing that this fourth-tier cataclysmic creature forbade the destruction of trees, Yu Die couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

During the development process, logging and deforestation are inevitable, and a large amount of disaster materials are hidden in this primeval forest. How could we not damage the trees?

'It seems the only option is to request a skilled team from home/state to drive away or kill this Emerald Shadow Dragon. Otherwise, we simply can't carry out the mission...'

'But... is it really possible to get it approved?'

Just as Tang Feifei and Yu Die were thinking about it.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded outside the outpost!

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by the buzzing sound, Tang Feifei and Yu Die went to the window to check!

Because the two teams were not far apart and had come out at the same time, they exchanged a knowing glance.

Knowing each other's identities, the two women, with their distinct temperaments and appearances, paused for a moment before nodding slightly to each other as a greeting.

Immediately afterwards, following the exclamations of the staff at the outpost, they looked up at the sky!

And then they saw... in the azure sky. A giant emerald dragon was soaring with outstretched wings!

Its size, its imposing presence, and the immense pressure it exerted on second- and third-tier Cataclysmic beings clearly indicated that it was indeed a fourth-tier Cataclysmic creature!

However... this was not what shocked the staff at the outpost.

What truly shocked them was... there seemed to be a human figure riding on that fourth-tier cataclysmic creature?

Chapter 341 Taming a Tier 4 Pet! (10,000 words, please vote!)

The staff who can participate in the "Boundless Ocean of the Mind Development Project" are all elites from various factions and families.

Among them were many second- and third-tier Cataclysms. Their bodies had undergone multiple enhancements.

Therefore, even though the giant dragon was flying tens of meters in the air, it was still captured by their sharp eyes!

And the figure riding on the dragon's back was clearly also seen by them.

However... the figure was draped in a black cloak, completely concealing its form. Furthermore, it wore a silver mask, making it impossible to discern who it was, or even whether it was male or female.

Based on the limited parts of the figure that were exposed and the body movements, they could only make a rough judgment: 70% of the time it was a man.

Although the discovery was small, it was enough to draw the attention of all staff.

After all... a fourth-tier cataclysmic creature is terrifying enough. Above this cataclysmic creature, there is also a mysterious person whose strength is unknown.

Generally speaking, those who can subdue fourth-order cataclysmic creatures are fifth-order evil gods and a small number of peak fourth-order evil gods.

'I haven't heard of another peak fourth-tier or fifth-tier evil god appearing around the New Territories City.'

'Where did he come from?'

This question lingered in the minds of all the staff who witnessed this scene...
