Tiegada, control him!
Zuo Feng swiftly gave the command, and Tiegada's hand, larger than a cattail fan, instantly clamped down on the variant, rendering it immobile.
Although Tiegada couldn't break through the wooden armor's defense, the three-bar variant couldn't break free from Tiegada's restraint.
Zuo Feng was incredibly excited; he had expected a tough battle, but the situation was surprisingly smooth.
Zuo Feng wasted no more time, activating Metallic Skin and a Black Fire Membrane, holding a Space Shield in front of him, and slowly approaching the restrained variant.
When he was less than half a meter away and saw that the variant had no other attack methods, Zuo Feng immediately conjured the Purple Lotus, and a single purple lotus seed detached from the lotus pod, slowly flying towards the variant.
The variant sensed the threat of the lotus seed and immediately struggled violently in Tiegada's palm, but it couldn't break free from the restraint.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the variant's companion beasts seemed to sense the variant's crisis and tried to fly over to help, but Hotuntun and Hotutu's raging flames intercepted them, preventing them from getting close.
The moment the lotus seed entered the variant's glabella, Zuo Feng's mouth curved into a smile—it was done!
Once the lotus seed in the variant's brain grew into a Purple Lotus, Zuo Feng then ordered Tiegada to release the restraint.
The variant landed, standing quietly in place; it had been subdued.
"Hotuntun, Hotutu, stop, no more fighting!"
Since the variant had been subdued, its companion beasts naturally belonged to Zuo Feng as well.
Zuo Feng couldn't bear to let Hotuntun and Hotutu continue attacking them; if they got hurt, it wouldn't be good.
But Zuo Feng's face quickly darkened; he had forgotten that Hotuntun and Hotutu would enter a berserk state during combat and wouldn't listen to his commands; only Huo Er could recall them.
So, Zuo Feng mentally issued the command to Huo Er to recall these two boisterous little beasts.
Huo Er received the command and let out a crisp, low growl.
Hotuntun and Hotutu heard it and immediately stopped attacking, obediently returning to Huo Er's side, their flames extinguishing as well.
Zuo Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The two little spirit beasts, still shaken, flew towards the variant and sat on its shoulders, constantly patting their chests.
The sight made Zuo Feng chuckle—these two little spirit beasts were truly full of spirit.
Seeing Zuo Feng subdue the variant, the Firefly girls all showed surprised expressions, running over from a distance to surround Zuo Feng.
Da Bai Tu and Little Maid also flew down from the sky, retracting their wings and joining the group.
At this moment, Xiao Mi Tao circled the newly subdued variant once, her big eyes darting around, then immediately turned and skipped towards the central area where this variant had been previously.
Zuo Feng saw this scene and couldn't help but smile slightly—this Xiao Mi Tao must be going to look for Pigeon eggs; every time a new variant is subdued, Xiao Mi Tao is always the most active in searching for Pigeon eggs.
"Little ones, come here."
Da Bai Tu smiled as she waved to the little spirit beasts.
Sure enough, just like before, the two little spirit beasts obediently landed in Da Bai Tu's hands.
They seemed to feel safe, immediately putting one hand on their hips, and with one pure white little hand, they pointed at Hotuntun and Hotutu, chattering loudly in scolding tones.
The sight made the girls laugh so hard they swayed—these two little spirit beasts were adorably talkative.
At this moment, Zuo Feng began to carefully examine the newly subdued variant.
The variant's entire body was plant-like, covered in emerald green plants, and its original appearance was no longer discernible, but judging by its figure, this variant must have been a female in life.
Before long, the skipping Xiao Mi Tao happily returned, holding Six Lotus Seeds, her face beaming with a satisfied smile.
Xiao Mi Tao plunged into Zuo Feng's arms, excitedly showing off the Pigeon eggs: "Brother Feng, look, I found Six Lotus Seeds!"
Zuo Feng gently stroked Xiao Mi Tao's head, his eyes full of doting: "That's great!"
Everyone already knew the purpose of these Pigeon eggs: smashing them would release enough food to form a small mountain!
Feng Yundan had previously seen the two little spirit beasts smash a Pigeon egg, instantly producing a ground full of food, which is why he concluded that this variant could produce food!
Of course, Zuo Feng could assert that there were seven Pigeon eggs, and Xiao Mi Tao must have secretly hidden one again.
Xiao Mi Tao's habit of secretly hiding one Pigeon egg was hard to change, but Zuo Feng didn't mind; as long as Xiao Mi Tao was happy, it was fine.
Zuo Feng took the Six Lotus Seeds and handed them to Da Bai Tu.
There was still one more matter at hand: where were those seeds?
Those strange plants had annihilated the entire Sanshui Gang, terrifyingly fierce.
If they were all planted in Firefly Base, they would definitely be a great asset.
Especially those five hundred-meter giant trees; they were even more terrifying than Seven-Bar Zombies!
Zuo Feng looked at Da Bai Tu, who was playing with the two little spirit beasts, and said softly: "Da Bai Tu, ask those two little ones where the seeds went."
Da Bai Tu nodded gently, then turned to look at the two little spirit beasts with gentle eyes, asking softly: "Little ones, do you know where those magical seeds are hidden?"
The two little spirit beasts blinked their eyes, chattering and gesturing with their pure white little hands.
Then, one of the spirit beasts directly spat out a crystal-clear seed from its mouth and dropped it on the ground.
To everyone's astonished gaze, the seed quickly took root and sprouted, instantly growing into a hundred-meter-tall giant tree, one of the five giant trees.
Everyone exclaimed in admiration.
A glimmer of light flashed in Zuo Feng's eyes; magical seeds that could be stored and planted at any time were simply a weapon for both offense and defense!
"Alright, little one, put it away now."
As soon as Zuo Feng finished speaking, the giant tree quickly shrunk back into a seed and was swallowed back into the spirit beast's mouth.
"Let's go! girls, back to Dream City!"
Zuo Feng waved his hand, leading the girls on their journey home.
Now they had to clean up, taking advantage of the news of Sanshui's elite being wiped out not yet reaching Dream City, they were going to raid Sanshui Base for supplies, and of course, recruit Sanshui Base's technical talents!
In the evening, everyone entered Sanshui Base.
With Feng Yundan, the gang leader, present, everyone proceeded unhindered, quickly taking control of the core area.
Da Bai Tu led half of the Firefly girls, under Feng Yundan's guidance, to begin raiding the Sanshui Gang's supplies; while Da Mi Tao led the other half of the girls, using a list to recruit technical talents, meticulously screening to ensure no useful talent was missed.
This night was destined to be busy.
The Sanshui Gang, as a faction, could truly be said to have been solely propped up by Feng Yundan's strength.
Zuo Feng couldn't help but admire Feng Yundan's power now.
No talent, no supplies, no firearms, yet he managed to carve out a place among the hundreds of small and medium-sized gangs in Dream City, which was nothing short of a miracle.
This situation was barely maintained by Feng Yundan's terrifying strength, having lit Six Lotus Seeds.
However, Firefly was not without gains; at least they had acquired quite a few supplies and talents—even a lean camel is bigger than a horse, after all…
As for Feng Yundan, Zuo Feng deliberated for a long time, but ultimately spared his life.
He wasn't afraid of Feng Yundan causing any trouble; in the face of absolute power, everything else was just a joke.
He was now completely fearless of any force in Dream City.
If they really angered him, he would plant the five hundred-meter giant trees in Dream City, and who would dare to provoke him easily?
After the raid was complete, the Firefly members, laden with spoils of war and hundreds of various technical personnel, quietly withdrew from Sanshui Base and returned to the corrugated iron housing area.
After arranging accommodation for the hundreds of technical personnel, Zuo Feng and the Firefly girls returned to their rented corrugated iron house.
It was late at night by this time.
After everyone washed up, they gathered together and made some simple arrangements.
Once everything was settled, Xiao Mi Tao snuggled into Zuo Feng's arms, her big, watery eyes full of anticipation as she looked at Zuo Feng and whispered: "Brother Feng, I want that three-bar variant."
Within the Yinghuo Team, Kong Ling belonged to Da Bai Tu, Huo Er belonged to Da Yuanyuan, and Ying'er belonged to Da Mi Tao.
Tiegada and the newly acquired three-bar variant had no owner yet, and Xiao Mi Tao also wanted a variant of her own.
She hadn't taken a liking to Tiegada, but she really wanted this newly acquired variant.
Those two little spirit beasts were just too cute, as cute as her, and she wanted them.
