Free Web NovelChapter 571: Chapter 410: Is This How the Beast Taming Ring Is Used?
’Damn it. A body my size wouldn’t even be enough to get stuck in that giant beast’s teeth, would it?’
"Stop giving me terrible ideas. I’m not even as big as its toe if I charge in there.
Won’t I just get killed in seconds?"
As the two of them secretly watched the fight, the two giant beasts ahead let out tremendous roars before charging at each other.
With a deafening BOOM, the two Fierce Beasts, each the size of a house, collapsed simultaneously.
Blood instantly began to spread across the territory in the deep forest.
So, after all that waiting for an opportunity, it had all been for nothing.
"Host, I really don’t think this ’lying in wait’ strategy suits you. These two look like they’re both about to be dead as doornails. What’s the plan?"
Wu Yue’s expression darkened. ’What’s the plan? There is no plan.’
"Let’s go down and check. If one’s still alive, maybe we can heal it and put it to use."
After all, the oppressive aura emanating from these two Fierce Beasts was far stronger than the Shun Yuan that Wu Yue had encountered before.
The two of them had just huffed and puffed their way down the tree when the sound of another Fierce Beast arose from up ahead.
Their bodies froze. ’Could our timing be any worse?’
They hastily scrambled back up the tree, kicking their legs like a frog.
Perhaps the scent of blood in the clearing was too strong, as it had attracted quite a few Fierce Beasts from the surrounding area.
Seeing the two dead Fierce Beasts on the ground, and with food being so scarce, the crowd of beasts swarmed forward, fighting over the carcasses.
As the bodies of the two beasts were torn open, the scent of blood grew even thicker, and Wu Yue couldn’t help but frown.
"System, let’s find another spot. This place is too dangerous. A scent of blood this strong is bound to attract tons of Fierce Beasts.
At our current strength, we can barely handle one of them. If there are too many..."
The System looked at her. "Too many, and what happens?"
"Then this day next year will be the anniversary of our deaths."
System: "..."
’What a jinx.’
"ROAR!"
"AWOOO!"
"CAW!"
After a cacophony of roars from below, the fighting broke out once more. Wu Yue, whose eyesight was excellent, spotted the Crystal Core inside one of the beast’s bodies in a single glance.
The combat strength of the beasts that had arrived this time seemed on par with the first two, but perhaps they were a bit smarter. Several cunning ones were circling the periphery instead of jumping straight into the fray.
Ultimately, only a single, gigantic, and ferocious lizard-like Fierce Beast remained in the clearing.
"System, wouldn’t a mount like this be... a bit much?"
’Good grief, that thing is hideous!’
"Dog Host, not to be harsh, but look at the state we’re in. Are you really in a position to be picky about its looks?
With mounts and pets, you just have to raise them for a while. Who knows, maybe someday you’ll look at this lizard beast and find it quite handsome."
Wu Yue: "..."
’I feel personally attacked.’
But their current situation really didn’t allow them to be picky. She cast another, regretful glance at the lizard beast below, whose ugliness was an offense to gods and men alike.
Gritting her teeth, Wu Yue took aim and threw the Beast Taming Ring in her hand.
The air was still, without the slightest ripple.
Wu Yue stared, dumbfounded, at the little white furball in front of her. It was wagging its tail, her Beast Taming Ring held gently in its mouth, and she felt her entire world collapsing.
’I’m trying to do something serious here, I don’t have time to play with you!’
The little creature’s tail wagged cheerfully, its gaze fixed on Wu Yue in the tree with fervent excitement.
With the Beast Taming Ring in its mouth, it scurried up the tree with a series of WHOOSHES and placed the ring right in front of Wu Yue.
"Awoo awoo!"
Its tiny, jet-black eyes were brimming with an excited eagerness to play.
Wu Yue: "..."
’This suddenly feels like I’m playing fetch with my own dog.’
Snatching the Beast Taming Ring back, Wu Yue looked helplessly at the little beast, which tilted its head, looking a bit disappointed. "I’ll play with you after I finish my serious business, okay?"
It was unclear if the little beast understood, but it sat down obediently on the branch next to Wu Yue, simply blinking its tiny, dark eyes at her.
Thinking she had successfully placated the little beast beside her, Wu Yue once again took aim and threw the Beast Taming Ring.
Just as the Beast Taming Ring was about to strike the giant beast’s neck, a small white figure instantly flashed in front of the beast. It lifted its head and shot Wu Yue a triumphant little look.
Yipping, it leaped up, preparing to catch the Beast Taming Ring again.
But...
The giant beast behind the little creature, which had been eating the whole time, was finally disturbed by the antics of the human and beast. Its savage, crimson eyes instantly locked onto them as a threatening growl rumbled from its throat.
The low growl startled the little beast, causing the Beast Taming Ring it was about to catch to smack right into its forehead.
