Chapter 131: The Bound Birth Machine

When Liszt rode closer, he witnessed an unsightly scene.

Tomson was actually riding on the back of a female Earthdog, humping it continuously while panting heavily with its tongue hanging out.

The female Earthdog beneath him seemed to be struggling but couldn't break free, only able to emit pitiful whimpers. When she saw humans approaching, her instinct was to flee, but Tomson merely pressed down harder, using his robust body to keep the female Earthdog firmly in place.

"Ew…"

Liszt wrinkled his nose in disgust. In broad daylight, such a shameless act was taking place—was it a distortion of canine nature or a collapse of morality? Was it a surge of sexual desire or the helplessness of lust?

He turned his head and asked, "Teacher Marcus, shouldn't Tomson still be a six-month-old puppy?"

"When we found Tomson, its eyes hadn't even opened; it was definitely very young. So, Tomson wouldn't be that big, and now it's certainly not more than a year old, at most seven months."

"A seven-month-old dog can do this kind of thing?"

Marcus chuckled, "Sir, canines are different from humans. For Tomson's age, it is indeed a bit early, but it's not uncommon for dogs to start mating before they're a year old. We can only say that Tomson has developed well, and with the stimulation of the Bloodline Fruit, it should have already matured completely."

Liszt had raised dogs back in his hometown, but that was when he was a child.

Moreover, who would bother about when country Earthdogs were in heat or when they mated. They were usually just a pack of Earthdogs, casually mating whenever they felt like it.

Hearing Marcus' explanation, he put aside his surprise.

Standing not far away, he watched a live-action spectacle unfold.

Tomson had excellent stamina. From the time the cries of distress were heard until he stopped humping, it lasted for about twenty minutes. But the end of humping didn't mean the end of the matter; the two Earthdogs remained connected, just like ordinary dogs.

"Woof woof." Tomson seemed a little confused, barking twice.

The female Earthdog stopped whimpering and wanted to escape, but she couldn't pull Tomson away. She could only stand there, staring warily at the knights, showing signs of casting magic at any moment. However, she was beyond the range to cast magic on the knights. Strangely, she didn't attack Tomson either.

"Sir, should we take this opportunity to shoot this female Earthdog?" Marcus picked up his bow and arrow, eager to try. At this moment, the female Earthdog was a sitting duck.

"No!"

Liszt immediately intervened. If the female dog went berserk, wouldn't it drag Tomson to death… He had seen a short video where a female dog dragged a male dog across the road, walking gracefully while the male dog lay limp as if dead.

"Teacher Marcus, find a way to capture this female Earthdog alive and keep her in the castle. It seems that Tomson has reached adulthood and can breed offspring. Perhaps, I can acquire a pack of Earthdogs."

"But the female Earthdog is wild and dangerous."

"Then chain her up. Draw a twenty-meter radius around her as a restricted area and build a rock wall around it. After she gives birth to a litter of puppies, take them away… Regardless, there aren't many Earthdogs on Coral Island, and Tomson will need a female dog eventually."

"It's a solution," Marcus nodded. Turning to the retainer knights, he said, "Take out the nets. Jim and York, go up the tree on the left. Philip and Sean, go up the tree on the right. Xavier and Terry, go up the tree behind… later, surround the Earthdog. If it tries to escape, catch it with the net immediately!"

The knights cautiously approached and climbed up the trees, each holding one end of the net rope, ready to throw the nets.

About twenty minutes later.

The two Earthdogs naturally separated.

The female Earthdog immediately turned to run away, but Marcus, who was prepared, immediately ordered, "Get ready to throw the nets!"

The knights instantly threw their ropes,

and a large net enveloped the female Earthdog. The female Earthdog was fast, but not faster than the knights who were prepared. She was directly caught in the net.

In a panic, she released magic, rock spikes piercing the ground one after another, but these rock spikes only pushed the net away without tearing it. She struggled to run but was tangled tighter by the net until she was tightly bound, unable to move. The rock spikes stabbed randomly until she exhausted her mana and couldn't escape.

"Woof woof!"

Tomson watched from the side, neither pouncing to bite nor moving away. He occasionally barked at the female Earthdog, the meaning unclear.

"Her mana should be depleted. Go down and tie her up, starting with her mouth," Marcus concluded after several attempts.

Soon, the female Earthdog was securely tied up, especially with her mouth bound. Even if she regained her mana, she couldn't easily release magic.

"Ugh ugh…"

The female Earthdog, with her mouth and limbs bound, growled angrily, but her fate was already sealed—to become Tomson's plaything, a breeding machine for Earthdogs.

"Woof woof!"

Tomson wagged his tail, circling the female Earthdog and barking, perhaps trying to comfort her.

"Is this the last monster?" Liszt quietly summoned the Smoke Task, using it to determine the situation, which was the most direct manifestation.

However, the smoke snake text showed no change.

"Task: You have launched an offensive, determined to wipe out Thorns Ridge and create a peaceful new environment for Flower Town. Then, strike while the iron is hot and complete the slaughter of all monsters in Thorns Ridge. Reward: The trail of the Dragon Horse herd."

He couldn't help but frown, "There are still monsters?"

They had thoroughly searched Thorns Ridge. With the aid of the Eye of Mana, logically speaking, all the monsters within sight should have been found.

It seemed that during the recovery of his Eye of Mana, some monsters had managed to avoid the purge.

"Sir, we're almost at the seaside. Should we return?" Marcus asked.

Liszt thought for a moment and said, "No rush. Let's continue forward and go to the seaside to take a look. I heard Kosto say that there's a deep-water port nearby, so it's best to check it out and make plans as soon as possible to build a dock for Flower Town."

"As you wish."

The group continued on their way.

Tomson, attracted by the female Earthdog, lost interest in hunting and circled the bound Earthdog the whole way. Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and they only encountered a few wild beasts before arriving at the seaside. Walking along the difficult rocky path by the sea, they arrived at the place Kosto mentioned.

This was a beach hundreds of meters wide, strewn with rocks. To the left was a mountain ridge made of rocks, and to the right was also a rocky mountain ridge. Only in the middle was there a stretch of small and large pebbles. With a little cleaning, a flat area could be cleared.

Kosto wasn't lying.

While it was impossible to construct a large seaport here, building small to medium-sized docks posed no problem.

After walking around the rocky area, Liszt suddenly had an idea. "On our way back, we'll head straight for the dairy farm and find a flat path. We'll have the Logging Team start cutting trees from this point and clear a road as soon as possible. The stones near the dock will be perfect for paving the road."

"This place," he gestured around the rocky beach, "will be the starting point of Flower Town's future."
