Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

"Spiritual Power Affinity increased by another 1%. Not bad!"

Yi Tian had drunk quite a bit of Hundred Flowers Spirit Wine these last few days.

The higher the Spiritual Power Affinity, the slower the growth becomes.

Theoretically, living creatures can never have a one hundred percent affinity with spiritual power.

Early in the morning, Yi Tian organized the logging team, preparing to capture the two bears that had cut off his source of income.

The logging team included the seven little Kiddos whose strength had all improved, the Yin Yang Giant Panda, Xin Qiji, Thunder Yuan, Zijin Ming, Zijin Guang Brothers, and the Dongfang Five Brothers.

Using the only High-level Fog Scroll available, plus Yi Tian, there were eighteen in total.

Adding the two bears that might be brought into the mist, that made exactly twenty.

Although it was called a logging team, in reality it was a capture squad, containing over half of the territory’s top combat power.

The Eastsea Falcon was great for searching, but unfortunately, in the dense forest, the falcon was greatly affected in both reconnaissance and combat.

Yi Tian thought of another possibility!

Yesterday, the two bears had contact with the Yin Yang Giant Panda.

Maybe they’d caught the plague as well.

Outside the territory, Spiritual Qi Density was only 100%.

The two bears could only use fifty percent of their strength. On Yi Tian’s side, with Osmanthus Wine, things were looking even better for him. Yi Tian was full of confidence about this capture.

To the east of Saltwater Lake, where it meets the mist, there was a fifty-square-meter stone platform.

There were similar stone platforms to the east, west, south, and north.

These platforms were the stepping stones for entering the mist from the territory.

After exiting the mist from the stone platform, there was a stone stele marking the outbound direction.

The inside and outside of the mist don’t match spatially, so when returning, as long as you step in from the stele, you’ll land directly on the platform—no getting drenched passively.

Yi Tian and the group took the Silver Assault Boat to the stone platform.

The High-level Fog Scroll could bring up to twenty people in and out of the territory, lasting twelve hours.

The Mist Scroll opened a barrier outside the mist, and the Kiddos dashed out ahead.

The trees near the mist had, after about ten days’ effort by the Yin Yang Giant Panda, been all cut down.

"Yin Yang Giant Panda, Big Child, Third Child—you three take the solar chainsaws, go deeper into the woods to cut trees, attract the two bears, and we’ll lie in ambush. Once the bears show up, we’ll all go for them and capture them."

Yi Tian gave out the battle plan to everyone around him.

"Understood!"

"Okay, Daddy!"

After confirming the tactics, they headed a few kilometers into the woods. Yi Tian took the other Kiddos, Thunder Yuan, Dongfang Five Brothers, Zijin Guang, and the Zijin Ming Brothers, and retreated more than ten kilometers.

With Second Child’s Thousand-Mile Eye and Shunfeng Ear, they could monitor the surroundings at any time.

After a great upgrade, Second Child’s Thousand-Mile Eye and Shunfeng Ear could now detect up to three hundred kilometers after leaving the mist.

Big Child, Third Child, and the Yin Yang Giant Panda shouldered solar chainsaws and started logging.

Bzzzz...

Rumble!

With the chainsaw buzzing, trees fell one by one.

The Yin Yang Giant Panda was an expert—swiftly taking down a ten-meter-tall tree whose trunk needed three arms to encircle. By eye, that tree was worth about thirteen units.

Big Child and Third Child seemed a little casual about sawing trees. You might as well say they were just causing destruction as actually logging.

A tree that should have produced 15 units of timber, after a few minutes’ treatment, left less than ten units.

Just like that, birds and beasts fled the forest edge, the harmony broken.

"Daddy, found them! There are two fierce-looking bears, kind of like Big White but different, snoozing in a tree hollow two hundred kilometers away,"

While she was lying in ambush with Yi Tian, Second Child’s Thousand-Mile Eye and Shunfeng Ear had been working non-stop.

With multiple descriptions from Yi Tian, Second Child identified the two bears.

"Are they showing any signs of movement?" Yi Tian frowned. Two hundred kilometers was pretty far.

Those two were still sleeping; they’d definitely notice nothing over here.

Could catching the Yin Yang Giant Panda yesterday have been just a fluke?

"Daddy, one of the bears woke up. Its eyes are half open, still groggy."

"It’s shaking its head, sniffing the air with its nose..."

"It suddenly snapped awake, smacked the other bear on the head, and let out a roar..."

"They’re out of the tree hollow, and look really mad..."

"They’re running our way..."

Second Child reported every move the two bears made to Yi Tian.

The reporter was unintentional, but the listener was attentive.

Yi Tian was thinking much more!

Two hundred kilometers—normally, they shouldn’t have picked up on anything.

On Earth, that would at least be several counties apart.

"Noses—sniffing! Could it be the bears have a special talent, with a sense of smell so keen it’s at the Celestial Gift level?"

Yi Tian recalled Second Child saying the bear sniffed the air with its nose.

It must have picked up the Yin Yang Giant Panda’s scent again.

Two hundred kilometers away and it could lock onto a living target. That was insane!

But if the two bears could smell the Yin Yang Giant Panda, they could definitely smell the rest of them, too. Would that make them extra cautious?

"Daddy, after running a dozen kilometers, the two bears suddenly stopped. The lighter-colored bear tried to keep going but got grabbed by the darker one."

After a while, Second Child reported a new situation to Yi Tian.

"Still that far and not coming any closer?" Yi Tian frowned. Still one hundred and eighty kilometers left.

"Yep, Daddy. They’re lifting their heads and sniffing around, grunting and snoring, and pointing their paws in our direction."

"The lighter-colored bear patted its own chest, then got smacked by the darker one again."

Second Child gestured as she described the scene to Yi Tian.

Yi Tian paused for a moment and asked Second Child, "What about now?"

"They’ve turned back, not coming after all..." Second Child spread her tiny hands.
