34 Beast Domesticating Center (1/2)
---
As the group proceed to enter the facility, they saw just how massive the size of the Beast Domesticating Center truly was. It won't be an understatement to call this a sheltered forest at this point. The group heard groans and cries of beasts that was located inside, the saw many security doors, glass windows that are as tough as metals, and different types of beast so far.
”Before we proceed, we would like to ask everyone to please go through our Protective Measures. Each of you will be given a set of clothes that is specialized to keep the beasts calm with your presence. While this might be a redundant action since most of beasts here are caged in captivity, it will still be of help just in case an emergency happens.” Maddock explained as he lead them to a separate room.
As they entered, the staff immediately moved. They handed out suits to the group and led them to the changing areas. The suit was a black overall along with some military vests and shorts. There was a faint smell of wood in them which is not really pleasant but doesn't smell bad either.
”Sap of a Kind Treant, mostly likely taken from a 50 year old juvenile. Man, Professor really is capable.” Raven said as he switched his clothing.
'Treants' are a common existence in the areas around the Final Haven Empire. They were previously just some normal trees who were then injecting with tons of demonic beast blood and managed to condense a beast core. They are inherently wise but completely immobile. They only way for them to attack is by controlling vines and tree branches to catch their prey.
'Kind Treants' are mostly pacifist, they won't kill anything unless they a solid reason to do so and would do it in a peaceful manner. They are the wisest bunch and animals and demonic beasts alike loved to gather around them. This is due to the simple reason that wherever these Kind Treants were, the environment would surely be calm, which is thanks to the natural properties of their sap mixed onto the air.
Chief Director Maddock was the one discovered this at a tender age of 10. If this wasn't a testimony of his talents, then how about taming a bunch of demonic tigers at the age of 13? Perhaps, only him in this kingdom would be able to pull off such miracles.
One the students were done changing to their new clothing, they all gathered as a group and Maddock then began the tour inside the facility.
”Reeenk!”
The students were suddenly startled as they heard a screech from a distance. Suddenly, a silhouette of something flew and landed on the director's shoulders.
”Monkey?” One of the students blurted out once they got the better view of the thing.
”Oh! Hello Piri. How's your patrol?” Maddock smiled and asked the monkey. The beast screeched and similarly smiled at him. The director laughed and patted the monkey's head, he took out a peanut butter jar on his spatial ring and gave it to the beast.
”Everyone, meet Piri. She is a Four-Armed Spider Monkey, within a few months she will be celebrating her 3rd birthday. Piri, say hi to the students.”
”Ho! Hohaaa! Ho!” Piri waver her free arms and smiled at the students, some saw that her front teeth were stained with peanut butter and laughed.
”Four-Armed Spider Monkey huh. She might look incredibly adorable since she's tamed but once she bares her fangs, not even a Knight will be able to stop her.” Raven murmured as he gazed at Piri.
Some people managed to hear what he said and immediately, their faces went under a drastic change. They can't help to glance at the monkey warily now. Of course, Raven wasn't really planning on scaring them and merely said the truth. Maddock on the other hand managed to hear what he said but showed no changes in his expression. Instead he silently thought: 'Oh? This is new. It looks like someone is knowledgable. How rare.'
The group once again started to move and the director then began introducing one demonic beast after another and even told them their habits, how to distinguish them, and what are their weaknesses.
”This is a Red-eyed Predator Mantis. These creatures liked shuffling between shrubs and trees soundlessly and with an incredible speed. Their senses are incredibly sharp, they could smell blood from at least 20 meters away. These ones that we have are just new born, their current strength is about Mid-rank Muscle Strengthening Realm, but if you encounter them outside, then they could kill a Soldier Realm cultivator if he/she isn't careful.”
