The Big Black Snake swallowed two crystal cores in one bite, and its eyes became a bit brighter.
"Why do the crystal cores you give me smell better than the ones I take out of the brains of zombies and zombie beasts myself?" The Big Black Snake was extremely curious, and it was quite comfortable being petted by this human.
"These crystal cores were purified by my sister-in-law. She says there’s a volatile energy inside that’s bad for the body, so she helps purify it," Yin Chuchu said proudly, thinking her sister-in-law was very impressive.
The Big Black Snake spoke astonishingly, "I want to follow you guys if you give me these crystal cores."
"What did you say?" Xu Mumu widened her eyes, thinking she was having an auditory hallucination.
"We can’t afford to keep you, there’s not enough crystal cores," Yin Yang quickly started calculating in his mind. This was a level seven mutant beast, the current top combat strength.
If they could persuade this Big Black Snake to come to the Yin Family, the efficiency of going out to kill zombies with it would definitely be super high.
"I’ll kill zombies myself, and you help me with purification." Having been among humans for so long, this fellow had already learned how to bargain.
"My wife helping you purify crystal cores wastes a lot of superpower, so you’ll need to give up half of your crystal cores to make up for it," Yin Yang said, trying to take advantage. Since the snake didn’t directly attack them and was even negotiating terms, it made things much easier.
Then, they all watched dumbfounded as a person and a snake began bargaining. This black snake was also clever, ultimately settling at thirty percent. It intended to bring along its underlings from the zoo when going out to kill zombies, ensuring endless crystal cores.
It has to be said, the Big Black Snake’s calculations were certainly loud and clear.
The number was not negligible, and they were all very satisfied. Besides, they gained a bunch of super-powerful experts, why not?
Then, the people guarding the place saw a group of obedient animals following Xu Mumu and the others, showing no resistance towards them.
Leading the group, Zhao Donglai came over to inquire about the situation, while the people around were all holding weapons in case of those mutant animals.
"You can’t bring these mutant animals. Taking them out is dangerous," Zhao Donglai said seriously.
"No need to worry, Captain Zhao. We’ve tamed these mutant animals, and they won’t harm anyone. If anything happens, our Yin Family will take full responsibility," Yin Yang replied with a smile, then casually commanded the mutant animals. With the Big Black Snake in charge and having become mutant beasts, they all had a certain level of intelligence.
Zhao Donglai was dumbfounded watching this scene. They didn’t dare to approach these mutant beasts at all due to their fierce strength, especially the Big Black Snake, whose skin couldn’t even be pierced by bullets, making them even more hesitant to act rashly.
In the end, Zhao Donglai sought instructions from higher-ups, and they eventually agreed, even sending research institute people to draw blood from the mutant animals, and asked them to sign agreements to prevent these mutant beasts from harming people.
Yin Yang signed all these agreements cheerfully, as long as the mutant beasts were on his turf, he’d have plenty of time to subdue them all.
However, when it came time to draw blood, the Big Black Snake absolutely refused to cooperate, even when Yin Chuchu offered it crystal cores.
In the end, the laboratory staff had to leave disappointed, knowing well how fierce the Big Black Snake was, and its venom was potent, able to kill a mutated elephant with just one drop.
Yin Yang led a large group of mutant beasts back home triumphantly, once again making a name for themselves in the Imperial City.
News of the Yin Family taming so many mutant beasts couldn’t be hidden, and many speculated whether they had awakened some sort of beast taming superpower.
But such a superpower seemed too ruthless, gaining so many mutant beasts at once. The Yin Family, already strong, became even stronger.
Yin Peng had long received the news and immediately cleared the back mountain, specially for these mutant beasts to reside.
Behind the Yin Family’s villa, there’s a small mountain, entirely within the Yin Family’s territory.
"When are you going out to kill zombies?" Having eaten many of Chuchu’s zombie crystal cores along the way, the Big Black Snake now just wanted to go out to gather a bunch of zombie crystal cores to enjoy slowly.
"We’re going out of the city tomorrow, and I’ll call you then," Yin Chuchu said excitedly. She was no longer afraid of the Big Black Snake, and even because she fed it crystal cores, the snake had a particularly good impression of her.
"Make sure you come early," the Big Black Snake nodded sadly, but still behaved itself.
"Sure, sure."
The Yin Family was very lively that day, with a stream of visitors all afternoon. The family’s back mountain seemed to have become a mini zoo, with many people coming specifically to see these mutant animals.
The majestic appearance of the Big Black Snake intimidated many with its size. Such a massive snake was terrifying.
Near evening, Qiu Yu appeared again, this time with his elder brother.
"Brother Yin, my parents agreed for me to join you. From now on, I’m a member of your squad," Qiu Yu said excitedly.
"Hm, we’re going out of the city to kill zombies tomorrow. Do you want to come along?" Yin Yang nodded.
"Of course, of course," Qiu Yu nodded immediately. He even took a large knife from his father’s collection, waiting eagerly to go kill zombies tomorrow.
The brothers also wanted to see the mutant animals, and Yin Yang didn’t refuse, just reminding them not to get too close, as these animals hadn’t been fully tamed, and it wouldn’t be good if anyone got hurt.
A wave of people came in the afternoon, with Xu Mumu accompanying Mrs. Yin and being introduced to the socialites. The attention Xu Mumu received in the Yin Family surprised many.
During this trip, quite a few gave up thoughts about Yin Yang, instead focusing on Yin Lin and Yin Chuchu. With these mutant beasts protecting them, the Yin Family was undoubtedly the safest place. The Yin Family’s rise to power seemed just around the corner.
No, the Yin Family was already very strong.
The next day, when Xu Mumu and the others got up, Qiu Yu had already arrived, bringing a suitcase and settling in the guest room of the Yin Family.
When Xu Mumu and the others went down, they found Qiu Yu making Mrs. Yin laugh happily.
"This boy Qiu Yu is really amusing, no wonder his parents are willing to spoil him a bit more; I’d spoil him a bit more myself," Mrs. Yin remarked after Xu Mumu and the others left.
To bring these mutant animals out, Xu Mumu and the team didn’t even drive this time, leading the mutant beasts out directly.
Meanwhile, a certain lazy snake had turned as thin as a chopstick, curling around Yin Chuchu’s wrist. At a glance, it looked like she was wearing a black bracelet.
