In the last cell was a variation of a twin-headed Thorny Raging Bear. Thorny Raging Bears weren't uncommon, but a twin-headed one was rare indeed.
Although there were always new monsters being discovered, there were few new species of monsters that were truly valuable.
For Gao Peng, what mattered most was reproductive ability. This meant that species such as the twin-headed Thorny Raging Bear and the Golden Melon-Skinned Frog weren't creatures of high value to him.
The Reclusive Illusion Lizard had a strong hiding ability. If it could be captured and reproduced in large amounts, it would be a rather valuable new species of monster. Whether it was used only internally within the Southern Sky Group or sold externally, it would be a decent choice.
From his large white coat, Gao Peng took out a little booklet. He put a tick next to the Reclusive Illusion Lizard's name and noted down a bit more information at the end.
He exited the monster holding area, then tossed the little booklet to Xu Qingzhi, who was waiting outside.
”Monsters one and three aren't of much value. Monster two has some worth. Have the Reconnaissance Division continue to capture more.”
”Understood.” Xu Qingzhi took the booklet and hurriedly nodded in acknowledgment.
It wasn't just that day. A few months back, Gao Peng began identifying the values of different monsters. In these few months, the Southern Sky Group had continually captured large numbers of monsters and then begun to cultivate and breed them.
The mature monsters that were bred would then be evolved by the drug serums prepared by Gao Peng, then given to members of major departments under the Southern Sky Group.
What Gao Peng looked forward to achieving was the day that he didn't have to do anything personally, when his subordinates would be able to manage all matters on their own. But of course, there would still be quite some time before they achieved such a state…
After settling matters back in Yuzhou City for two days, Gao Peng returned back to the Spatial Rift again.
Just the day before, Yuzhou City had publicly announced the existence of the Spatial Rift in the Baiye District. At the same time, they had locked down the area.
The uproar and debates in the outside world had nothing to do with Gao Peng. Naturally, the Yuzhou government and the Southern Sky Group would settle things properly.
Because of the existence of the Spatial Rift, the Baiye District underwent a huge makeover. The originally decrepit area saw a large number of buildings being torn down. One by one, houses were being leveled, and a new wide road was being built.
At the same time, the people originally living in the Baiye District were relocated, and a large commercial square was being built with the Spatial Rift at the center. The Spatial Rift had continually expanded and, at this point, was now a 13-foot-wide, 20-foot-tall pitch black hole.
Next to the rift was a unit of high-level trainers, strictly blocking anyone from coming or going through at all hours of the day.
Gao Peng didn't require any identification; his face was the best identification. By now, most of Yuzhou City's trainers recognized him. He went through the rift, descending into the Desolate Labyrinth of the Black Fog World…
---
Outside the Desolate Labyrinth was a wide expanse of plains. Right then, a group of uninvited guests appeared on the plains.
A burly metal beast raced across the plains, kicking up fine sand and forming a long trail of sand clouds behind it.
The modified extra-large SUV had numerous monsters following next to it closely, not the slightest bit slower than the SUV.
Screech—
The tires screamed as they ran across the gravel, drifting before coming to a stop. The car door was forcefully pushed open, and a group of black men climbed out.
The one in the lead was wearing sunglasses. He was well-built, donning a tight-fitting camouflage tank top and khaki combat trousers.
”What a marvelous sight. This is a downright miracle!” the black man behind him exclaimed.
On the plains in front of them, a gigantic block of a stone wall covered the entire horizon. The high stone walls were covered in markings, and a large, thick tendril draped down the outer wall.
The sky shimmered with blurry yellow light, looking somewhat like stars, or scattered light.
”This is the ruins that were indicated on the map?” asked one of the black men excitedly. ”This is definitely a miracle!”
”We're the first ones to arrive here, which means that all the treasure here belongs to us,” said a potbellied black man, revealing a smile on his face.
”Such large ruins. Who knows how much good stuff there is inside?”
A small and skinny black man pointed at one of the entrances and exclaimed excitedly, ”Over there, look over there. Does that look like an entrance?”
”What are you waiting for? Let's hurry and go inside.”
