Chapter 72 The Decisive Strike, Arrival in Qianyuan County
Under the dappled moonlight, within Black Wind Ridge, at the command of the gaunt man, the two immediately rushed forward with their two beast pets following closely behind.
As the two people and two beasts rapidly approached Lin Yi and entered a radius of fifty meters, Lin Yi and the mushroom cub immediately noticed something amiss and felt a chill behind them.
He knew that what was bound to happen would eventually happen.
"Mushroom baby".
Lin Yi called out to the little mushroom, and the little guy also felt the cold killing intent. As the other party approached quickly, the man and the beast stopped and turned around to look back. In the dappled moonlight, two huge creatures were the first to pounce.
"Mushroomlings, kill them."
Lin Yi immediately issued an order: This is Black Wind Ridge, not Tiannan City. Anyone appearing here at this time is definitely not a good person.
The little guy, who already possessed normal intelligence, did not hold back. He immediately leaped up, and the azure sword light tore through the night sky, illuminating the entire mountain forest.
Boom! A violent, extraordinary force rippled through the mountains and forests, and the enormous commotion was deafening, echoing for more than ten miles around, startling many figures far away.
at the same time.
"Big brother, let's go, kill that beast tamer first."
A slightly overweight, muscular man suddenly leaped out from the forest on one side, his entire body enveloped in extraordinary power. The gleaming scalpel in his hand fell sharply, slashing towards Lin Yi.
The gaunt man, however, was more cautious. He stopped abruptly, his expression changing. In fact, the moment the little boy on the boy's shoulder made his move, a look of horror flashed in the gaunt man's eyes.
However, this did not affect the slightly chubby, muscular man's ability to make a move.
With his perception greatly enhanced, Lin Yi reacted instantly. Seeing the large sword hurtling towards him, he immediately raised his hands and crossed them in front of him to block it.
"Boom!"
A terrifying supernatural power, mixed with a tremendous force, erupted, directly sending Lin Yi flying more than ten meters away. However, thanks to the supernatural defense erected by the mushroom, he was basically unharmed.
The slightly chubby, muscular man was taken aback upon seeing this, clearly surprised, as this was not the defensive power expected of a spirit plant-type beast tamer.
Without hesitation, he pounced again. The opponent was much larger and clearly had the advantage. As the greatsword fell, Lin Yi did not choose to retreat this time. After the first strike, he could already sense that it would not be so easy for the opponent to break through the mushroom's defense.
This time, he chose to catch the blade with both hands. The moment the broadsword came crashing down, Lin Yi clasped his hands together and took the blow head-on. The slightly chubby man only felt the blade pause. By the time he realized what was happening, Lin Yi had already blocked the blade with both hands, flipped in mid-air, and suddenly delivered a reverse sweeping kick to the man's head.
The slightly overweight but muscular man was quick as well, raising his thick arm to block Lin Yi's sweeping leg attack.
Boom! Two extraordinary powers of the war beasts erupted, sweeping in all directions. Lin Yi was bounced back, but the extraordinary defense on the opponent's arm was obviously cracked. The cracks spread all the way along the arm to the neck.
"You're asking for it."
The slightly overweight, burly man seemed enraged upon seeing this, and his fist, as big as a clay pot, slammed towards Lin Yi's forehead. A terrifying supernatural power swept over him. After judging again that the other party should be much weaker than himself, Lin Yi still did not dodge, but wanted to finish the battle quickly. After all, he did not know how many accomplices the other party had in secret. If he could quickly deal with this person, it might have a deterrent effect.
Thinking to himself, Lin Yi released his grip on the broadsword, spread his fingers, and took the punch head-on. With his other hand, he grabbed back and casually broke off a tree branch. He poured extraordinary power into the branch, making it as hard as iron, and then thrust it into the slightly fat, muscular man's neck, which was already cracked.
Boom—The opponent's large hand shook Lin Yi's left hand painfully, and the powerful impact forced his arm backward. However, the next moment, the branch with green leaves in his right hand had already pierced through the strong man's extraordinary defense.
*Thud*—The branch pierced the opponent's neck, and bright red blood spurted out, hitting the hand that was gripping the branch.
Lin Yi's heart trembled instinctively.
Feeling the difficulty breathing in his neck, the slightly chubby, muscular man seemed to realize something. The extraordinary power surrounding him quickly dissipated. He clutched his neck, where the branch had pierced through, and stumbled back two steps. His large sword crashed to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Impossible, this is impossible.
He was just a spirit plant-type beast tamer, how could he have such strong combat power, amazing defense, and his attacks were swift and decisive, killing with a single blow, and extremely ruthless.
In the eyes of the slightly overweight, muscular man, the boy was most likely still a student, and a student couldn't possibly have such murderous intent.
Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to think further. As his life force faded, the slightly overweight man collapsed to the ground, unable to believe until his death that he had been defeated by a young spirit plant-type beast tamer.
Upon seeing this in the forest, the gaunt man was struck dumb, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.
The moment the opponent's pet made its move, he realized something was wrong; he had likely kicked a hornet's nest. Only after the brief but intense battle ended did the gaunt man begin to breathe rapidly.
Without much thought, he immediately turned and fled, and just as the man turned around...
Bang! Bang! Two war beasts descended from the sky, and a small figure carrying a small sword slowly landed and appeared in front of the man.
When the man realized that the beasts that had crashed to the ground were his own and the slightly overweight man's, his mind went completely blank.
"Impossible, impossible, you—you—?"
As the man spoke.
"Mushroom fry, kill them!"
Without hesitation, fearing that things might change if he waited too long, Lin Yi immediately gave instructions to the mushroom.
The little guy hesitated, but when the gaunt man mobilized the supernatural power that had not yet dissipated to attack the mushroom cub, a flash of sky-blue sword light disappeared, and then a head with terrified eyes fell to the ground.
Lin Yi didn't dare to linger. He immediately picked up the large knife from the ground, called out to the little mushroom, and without even taking the spoils, he immediately took the little guy and ran away from the place.
Because a sudden fight would inevitably cause a great commotion, and if there were still outlaws around, he would be in danger and put in a passive position. Moreover, Lin Yi had already heard the sound of running in the distance.
Sure enough, just as the man and the beast disappeared into the dark forest, several figures enveloped in extraordinary power appeared there. They could even see the direction in which the figure had disappeared.
"Such a fast-paced battle."
Some people were shocked. The fight had only lasted a short while and was already over. Especially when they felt the fluctuations of extraordinary power in the air, the several burly men who were full of murderous intent suddenly lost their temper.
"Two Tier 1 Level 5 Beast Tamers died."
They were also at level 5 of the first rank, and half of them were only at level 4 of the first rank. If they rashly pursued them, they might end up like the two lying in a pool of blood.
Although the two who died were at the early stage of level 5 of the first tier, the strength of the person who killed them in such a short time is unimaginable.
On the other end.
Sensing that the auras behind him hadn't caught up, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but his mood was somewhat heavy.
He killed someone.
These complex emotions are hard to calm down in a short time.
However, considering that the other party was someone with blood on their hands, Lin Yi felt less guilty.
"If you have someone to blame, it's only because you attacked me. It's either you or me; the law of the jungle has always been like this."
As Lin Yi spoke, he subconsciously sensed the emotions of the mushroom cub. Good heavens, this thing was completely calm. In its eyes, there was no difference between enemies and war beasts. In the eyes of the mushroom cub, there was only its master. Protecting its master with its life was its only principle.
Sensing the mushroom cub's instinctive emotions, Lin Yi was slightly moved. Perhaps this was the bond between a beast tamer and his beast pet—no betrayal, no scheming, only a steadfast will to die for their master.
Well, now that their owner is dead, they will suffer the consequences and perish together with their owners.
However, in Lin Yi's view, that was not important. What was important was that Gu Zai only had Lin Yi in her eyes.
No wonder the beast taming world says that contracted beast pets are one's second life. There is no doubt about that. This kind of bond of life and death is something that is almost unheard of in one's previous life.
As the first rays of sunlight shone down on the horizon, Lin Yi's figure had already appeared two hundred miles away from Black Wind Ridge.
Looking at the ray of dawn that symbolizes warmth and hope, and the sunlight shining on him and the mushroom, Lin Yi felt as if he had been reborn.
"Little mushroom, you must become strong quickly. The road ahead will probably not be as peaceful as it has been at Tiannan University recently."
Along the way, the human and the beast raced against time, frantically training, absorbing, evolving, and honing their skills in using the [Three Thousand Thunderbolts].
Fortunately, after crossing Black Wind Ridge, the world seemed to quiet down considerably.
The fourth day after leaving Black Wind Ridge.
Lin Yi and Gu Zai stood atop a towering ancient tree atop a mountain peak, finally catching sight of the vast, modern metropolis stretching across the endless mountain range.
"Chihara Prefecture".
However, the destination of the man and the beast was not Qianyuan County, but Niuwa Town, which was more than 200 miles away from Qianyuan County.
Having found the city, Lin Yi quickly located the direction of Bullfrog Town on the map and sped off towards it.
"Mushroom has now reached the peak of Tier 1 Level 5. With some more time, it should be able to break through to Tier 1 Level 6."
Even though they had reached the sixth level of the first tier, Lin Yi was still worried. They had just entered this realm and might not be a match for the Fallen Ape. Moreover, he didn't know what evolutionary form the opponent had reached, whether it was the middle or late stage of the sixth tier.
"Never mind, let's just go there first."
With the ten-day deadline fast approaching, Lin Yi planned to go and take a look first, waiting for the right opportunity to act.
As the man and the beast approached Bullfrog Town, it was already dusk.
At this moment, in front of the town.
Mayor Bai Shan and a group of bullfrog town beast tamers were already waiting at the town entrance, each one as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
The deadline was fast approaching, but the beast tamer sent by the higher-ups was still nowhere to be found; not even a shadow of him could be seen.
"Mayor, has something happened?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of dozens of townspeople changed drastically. If this were true, what would become of Bullfrog Town?
"Uncle Ming, how much longer can Tianbao and the others hold out?" Bai Shan kept clenching her fists and hitting her palms, her face full of anxiety.
The old man, known as Uncle Ming, frowned and said, "One night at most, he can only last one more night."
If they don't come tonight, it might be too late by tomorrow morning.
Bai Shan pondered for a moment after hearing the voice, then immediately said, "Tell everyone to prepare. If it's not ready by dawn, we'll have to retreat."
"Mayor, what about our industrial park? It's the culmination of everyone's life's work!" a town resident cried out in despair.
Bai Shan had already made her decision: the extraordinary evolutionary ingredients in the park could be grown again, but the townspeople only had one life.
Just as everyone was getting anxious, a town resident immediately spoke up: "Mayor, it looks like someone is coming."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure rushing over, covered by a layer of extraordinary power.
"Here he comes; it must be that person."
When the man and the beast came running from afar, the whole town erupted in cheers.
However, Bai Shan couldn't help but frown. Why did they run over here?
Moreover, when she sensed the extraordinary power fluctuations emanating from the other party, she, being a fellow spirit plant-type beast tamer, immediately felt a chill run down her spine.
A plant-based beast tamer?
