"There! Five o’clock direction, over...fifty meters away!"
Chu Yi’s gaze was sharp. Combined with his keen senses, he located a position where a gigantic shadow lurked.
"YING!" Bika angrily wanted to rush forward.
Just like it thrashed the Fireball Mouse, it wanted to bash this ambusher’s head.
As soon as it took a step forward, Chu Yi grabbed its fox tail with one hand, pulling it back with a whine.
"The opponent is very strong. In a direct fight, you might not be able to beat it."
The target is you. Walking into their trap would be like offering yourself up.
After chugging a flask of Crimson Shadow, Bika perked up, indicating it was ready to fight three at once!
Chu Yi’s mouth twitched.
Rampaging among a group of foolish Fireball Mice and bullying the weak, does it really think it’s invincible?
Moreover, the number of opponents was unknown.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. They are hidden while we are exposed.
Facing this situation, Chu Yi dialed his Star Bracelet, quickly calling for reinforcements.
"Hello, this is the City Defense Army branch, operative 10086 at your service. How may I assist you?"
Chu Yi quickly said, "Help... BLAH BLAH BLAH—"
"Sir, I can’t understand what you’re saying. Could you please repeat that?"
Chu Yi shouted even louder, "BLAH BLAH BLAH screw you, BLAH BLAH BLAH—"
Chu Yi and Bika stared at each other, then quickly tried calling for reinforcements again.
"Commoner, for what reason do you summon this young lady?"
Chu Yi excitedly said, "QUACK QUACK QUACK..."
Lias asked in confusion, "???"
"Have you taken your medicine?"
Chu Yi was speechless.
Chu Yi glanced at Bika and began, "QUACK QUACK?"
Bika was stunned, then it also opened its mouth:
"QUACK, QUACK QUACK? QUACK QUACK QUACK!!"
Bika looked as if it had seen a ghost, instantly panicking as a chorus of frog croaks filled the air.
It was so scared it chased its own tail, spinning in circles.
Clearly, the sounds it was making weren’t what it intended; they changed the moment they left its mouth.
At this moment, Chu Yi realized he had been tricked; it was interference from a Pet Beast.
He abruptly looked in a specific direction.
Shrouded in shadow, next to a long-haired man, stood a dopey-looking pink piglet.
Mid-level elite: Voice Change Pig.
It could alter voices or induce a silence effect; it was an excellent support-type Pet Beast.
The pressure on Chu Yi intensified.
Does their lineup have to be this solid? Shouldn’t they send out some cannon fodder for me to gain experience from? Don’t you people understand the tropes!
"This is troublesome."
Chu Yi, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy, raised his left hand.
On the back of his hand, the Star Track Mark gradually materialized, sealing a ghostly figure within.
Unless in a Desperate Realm, Chu Yi would never use this seal.
The price was the erosion of his soul.
Such a majestic Ancient One, forcibly crammed into his left hand, must be seething with frustration. Its mindset would be further distorted, perhaps even shattered. For example, Chu Yi using his hand to... reward himself... Anyone would go mad, right? If released, would it devour his soul completely? Would it be a case of injuring a thousand enemies only to suffer a loss of a hundred million himself?
Suddenly, Bika unleashed a jet of flame, fiercely knocking the Fire Bird, which had lost its Pet Beast, to the ground.
The surrounding accomplices immediately commanded their Pet Beasts to advance.
"QUACK QUACK!" (Don’t come any closer!)
Chu Yi, pinching the Fire Bird’s throat, said coldly, "QUACK QUACK... QUACK QUACK!" (Otherwise, prepare to collect your companion’s corpse.)
The group of people didn’t seem flustered.
Instead, they watched with keen interest, a hint of amusement in their eyes.
With a round of applause, a tall man in a scarlet battle robe, wearing knight boots, slowly walked out.
He wore an eyepatch over his left eye, and a scar ran across his cheek.
"Not bad, kid. You’ve got guts."
Zhang Heng smiled, his gaze falling on the Red Fox beside Chu Yi, his eyes alight with fiery passion.
The data indicated it clearly. Being able to comprehend Burst Gun meant this Red Fox possessed high talent and had likely triggered ’Mutated Evolution’! He recalled that on that morning, this Red Fox was still in a vulnerable state. However, it had managed to awaken its bloodline, initiating ’Mutated Evolution’ and leaping to the second stage. This explanation was unexpected yet logical. Its lowest potential achievement would be at least War General level! If the opponent weren’t a student of Star Dragon Academy, he wouldn’t have this concern. He would definitely kill him to silence him and seize the Pet Beast.
"QUACK?" Chu Yi asked, his voice warped. (Who the hell are you?)
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Zhang Heng, leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, a Silver Beast Tamer," Zhang Heng said politely. "Half a year ago, Star Sea Base lost several Pet Beast Eggs. One of them was an egg I had ordered for my son."
"QUACK QUACK?" Chu Yi gave him a sidelong glance. (What does that have to do with me?)
Bika, also imitating its master, bared its teeth and growled, "QUACK!" (It meant to say "YING!")
The Fire Bird, held by its neck, was on the verge of tears but couldn’t cry. Isn’t anyone going to save me?
"According to our investigation, that Pet Beast Egg hatched last month." fre.eweb novel\.c om
Zhang Heng glanced at Chu Yi and said with a smile, "It’s precisely that Red Fox you’re holding."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yi’s pupils constricted for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.
He stared at Zhang Heng, a wolf-like ferocity glinting in his deep eyes.
Bika also seemed to realize something.
Its claws tore at the ground as it bared its teeth at Zhang Heng, sparks flying from its fur.
Then it looked up at Chu Yi.
Its little tongue licked his palm, as if to comfort him and assure him that it would never leave its master.
"Mr. Chu Yi, I know this is difficult for you to accept, but... allow me to be blunt."
Zhang Heng looked down from his superior position, his smile never fading.
A touch of disdain flickered in his eyes as he gazed at the young man. "A person without Beast Taming qualifications should just remain an ordinary person. Why get involved in the Beast Taming World only to end up with nothing? Wouldn’t you agree?"
"However, considering you’ve taken care of our family’s Pet Beast, how about I offer you one hundred thousand Federation coins as compensation?"
A man in a gray robe clenched his fists, a chilling aura emanating from his face.
Before joining the sect, he was a talented Beast Tamer, with a Thunderbird that had been his companion since childhood.
Even without a Beast Taming Space, his rapport with the Thunderbird remained unaffected.
A single thought from him, a small gesture from his Thunderbird, and they could execute a perfect combination, winning countless honors.
He had once believed that even though he was an ordinary person, unhindered by Beast Taming qualifications, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Beast Tamers, perhaps even surpass them!
However, just as he had poured immense effort into selecting a mutated evolution path with an extremely low success rate, relying on trust, willpower, and miracles, and had painstakingly cultivated his Thunderbird all the way to a War General level Lightning Bird, a demon emerged.
This demon, merely because it coveted the Lightning Bird’s power, had forcibly snatched his Pet Beast—his companion, his comrade-in-arms—from his side.
The compensation was a humiliating ten thousand Federation coins.
Without a Pet Beast, a Beast Tamer also lost their value.
His fall from grace was so precipitous, like plummeting into an Abyss, that words couldn’t describe it. Mockery, contempt, humiliation, and devastating blows followed one after another. He had once even contemplated suicide.
"Quiet down, don’t let them discover us."
The gray-robed man beside him snorted coldly. "This is a good opportunity for us to recruit new members..."
The gray-robed man, who had been angered by his memories, quickly calmed himself.
Hehe, a Superior Spiritual Talent... If he undergoes the sect’s baptism, he’ll definitely be an ace in the hole!
Observing the scene unfold, a slight smirk touched the leader’s lips.
