Barrens outside of the Animal Arena in Suhai City.
Xiaohuang was “carrying” a small pouch on his back as he ran in the dark, grassy plains against the howling Northern winds with eyes filled with sullenness.
“Argh… If I had known I wouldn’t have accepted this mission. Ten Enhancing Pills are simply not enough to be distributed, alright!” The mission that Jiang Feng gave him was to train a group of weasel spies.
If he were to train spies, it was a must for him to find a few leaders among the weasels and then awaken their sentience, only then would he be able to easily command them.
But if that was the case, he would need to use the Enhancing Pills.
Even after being diluted, there would only be enough Enhancing Pills for about a dozen weasels. But to complete Jiang Feng’s request, he would need to recruit tens of thousands of weasels to be his spies. The few Enhancing Pills that he had would not be enough at all.
Luckily, Jiang Feng had promised him that if he could complete his mission within one month, he would give him another ten pills.
That was the reason why he accepted the mission with much reluctance.
As for the pouch on his neck, it was woven by Ling Feiyu for him to store the Enhancing Pills.

After dinner, Jiang Feng led Xiaohei and Leiya toward the mansion where the Twelve Soldier Elites were living.
Once he had arrived, the Twelve Soldier Elites that were having fun in the mansion all stopped and gathered in front of them.
Looking at the Twelve Soldier Elites, Jiang Feng then pointed at Xiaohei and Leiya, then said, “From tomorrow onward, they will be your enemies. You should now know the benefits of the Enhancing Pills. Anyone that can defeat them will be rewarded with an Enhancing Pill. Those that can’t even hurt them both will have to scram, understand?!”
“Er… Isn’t that a bit too difficult?” Zhang Dali said with a bitter smile as he looked at Leiya, the edge of his lips twitching.
“Difficult? Remember, you are the Soldier Elites. You are destined to become the best of the best in this world. Are you still a man to withdraw even before trying? Are you worthy of the name Soldier Elites? If you are afraid, then get out! I don’t want any cowards!” Jiang Feng yelled out in vigor in a cold demeanor, he was even more brutal than the sergeants during boot camp.
Zhang Dali lowered down his head in shame when he heard his words.
As the leader of the Twelve Soldier Elites, Tian Shuai took a step forward and said, “Don’t worry! There are no cowards in the Soldier Elites! The mission will be accomplished!”
“Mission will be accomplished!” The other eleven Soldier Elites yelled out as they straightened their backs.
“Very good. I look forward to your transformation in one month’s time!” Jiang Fang said as he smiled, then turned and left.
There was only one reason why he did that. To let the Twelve Soldier Elites familiarize themselves with their increased powers thanks to the Enhancing Pills, as well as to enrich Xiaohei and Leiya’s combat experience.
Xiaohei and Leiya were still lacking combat experience at this time. If they were to encounter any hostiles, they might not be able to make sound tactical judgments.
After arranging the tasks for the three of his followers, he then returned to his own mansion.
As soon as he returned to his mansion, Xiaohai walked over like a penguin as it extended its two-meter long wings toward him and said, “Boss, they all have their missions. What about mine?”
“Your mission is to protect both of us. Once you are done, I won’t forget your Enhancing Pills,” Ling Feiyu walked over with a faint smile and gave Xiaohai a pat on his head.
“Chirp~ Thank you, Sis Feiyu,” Xiaohai rubbed his head at Ling Feiyu’s palm.
Ring!
Just as Jiang Feng went over to put his arm around Ling Feiyu’s waist, his phone began to ring.
He looked at his handphone and picked up the call. “Come in.”
He told Ling Feiyu something and then walked out of the room.
When he had reached the mansion’s yard, he then saw Manager Sun come over with two bodyguards. Each of the bodyguards were carrying a giant box.
When he saw that, he said to the sexy manager Sun, “Bring them in.”
Once he led Manager Sun and the two bodyguards to the living room, he then had the bodyguards put down the boxes. He then asked Manager Sun and the bodyguards to leave.
Once they had all left, Ling Feiyu and Xiaohai came over and looked at the two boxes curiously.
Both the boxes were quite large, each about one-meter cube in size.
“Little Feng, this is…” Ling Feiyu’s face became pale from shock as she took a few steps backward once the box was opened.
He then saw that both the boxes had twelve* glass containers. Each of the containers had one poisonous vermin.
T/L Note: Raw said ten, but it should be twelve.
The poisonous vermin were a pair of killer bees, a pair of bark scorpions, a pair of fire ants, a pair of black widows, a pair of Sydney funnel-web spiders, and a pair of blue-ringed octopi.
Those that flew in the sky, those that crawled on the earth, and those that swam in the sea. It was quite the complete set, and they were all in a pair.
While the blue-ringed octopi were not vermin, they were considered poisonous and they were small. Jiang Feng was still quite happy with them.
“The Twelve Poison Kings*. These are my aces in the hole in the future!” Jiang Feng gave Ling Feiyu a mysterious smile, and he then took out an Enhancing Pill and a basin of water. After diluting it, he then filled up a spray bottle with the diluted Enhancing Pill and then sprayed it into the glass containers containing the vermin.
T/L Note: In raw, they were no longer called the 12 Insect Kings because of the octopus.
As the vermin were very small, he was not sure if they could handle the medicinal effect of the Enhancing Pill so he had diluted the pill even more than usual.
After spraying them, the twelve poisonous vermin began to roll around and became very aggressive.
After a short while, the twelve poisonous vermin returned to normal and were no longer aggressive.
Next, he sprayed them again.
The twelve poisonous vermin became agitated again.
Only after spraying them dozens of times continuously did they begin to develop resistance toward it. They would no longer react after being sprayed on, but their bodies had all undergone some changes.
“Looks like I’ll need some time to awaken the Twelve Poison Kings’ sentience. Fine, I’ll have Manager Sun take care of them during this time!” With that, he gave Manager Sun a call and then diluted an Enhancing Pill in some more liquid. After writing down some instructions on feeding them, he then had Manager Sun take away the Twelve Poison Kings.
The reason that he did not choose to continue to observe the twelve poisonous creatures was that Ling Feiyu was about to go into labor within the game. They estimated that once Ling Feiyu had gone online, she was going to give birth.
The moment that he remembered that, Jiang Feng became quite excited and he quickly dragged Ling Feiyu back online.
***
When Jiang Feng and Ling Feiyu entered the game, Manager Sun brought the two bodyguards and once again arrived in the hidden room beneath the animal arena.
Once they were in the hidden room, he had the two bodyguards put down the boxes and lay down on the bed, and said to Sis Hua who was enjoying a spa massage, “Sis Hua, the young master asked me to find some poisonous vermin. In order to find them, we even lost two of our underlings. And now he passed the poisonous vermin for me to raise. And he even gave me some strange instructions! I don’t want to die!”
“Are you stupid? Just pass it to someone else to do. Remember, you must do exactly as Young Master has said. Otherwise, I won’t be able to bear the responsibility if he gets mad at me!” Sis Hua said as she glanced at Manager Sun.
“Alright, I’ll look for someone else to feed them. Just looking at them is making me have goosebumps.” After Manager Sun said that with a shudder, she then turned and left.
