The former enhances the latter, and the latter follows the former.
That night, the Knife-Wielding Baboons went on a rampage. In the early morning, Gang Ge, bursting with luck, happened to encounter an injured Elite Grade Black Scaled Ferocious Tiger.
The crowd worked together with all their might. Several contracted Demonic Beasts died in battle, and they paid an extremely heavy price before finally subduing this beast.
One person's strength is ultimately limited, Gang Ge realized this.
After the contract, he began to recruit talented individuals widely and assembled a crack team.With the Elite Grade Black Scaled Ferocious Tiger, coupled with Gang Ge's B-Rank Talent: Mighty Gang Power, it was unstoppable, crushing everything in its path.
"Scarlet Canine, attack! Kill him!" Seeing an opportunity before him, Zhang Ji's killing intent surged, and he decisively transmitted his order through the beast contract.
"Roar!!!"
Scarlet Canine roared, pouncing forward! A thick paw shot out with sharp claws, viciously swiping at Ye Xuan's head.
It possessed the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.
A gust of wind blew, lifting a strand of Ye Xuan's hair. He turned around, not dodging at all, and quietly gazed at the charging Scarlet Canine.
At such close range, one could even clearly see the bits of flesh and sinew stuck between the beast's teeth.
The claw descended, and just as it was about to smash Ye Xuan's head, a black shadow appeared at the perfect moment, precisely raising an arm to block the strike.
"Clang!!!"
A grating metallic sound exploded in the dense forest.
"This is... Night-Slaying... no! This is an Elite Grade Azure Blade Night Mantis!"
"Ye Xuan also has an Elite Grade Demon Pet!"
Seeing the black shadow that effortlessly blocked Scarlet Canine's attack, everyone was astonished.
"Night Hunt, let me see your new strength. You have ten breaths of time," Ye Xuan commanded expressionlessly.
"Hiss!"
Night Hunt moved. Its mantis arms trembled, easily repelling the Scarlet Canine before it. It moved like a phantom of the forest, giving chase!
Everyone's vision blurred; it became indistinct.
In the arena, three Azure Blade Night Mantis figures appeared simultaneously!
Scarlet Canine's pupils contracted violently.
The three Night Hunt figures overlapped and intertwined in its vision, making it impossible to distinguish real from fake.
In a moment of desperation, before Zhang Ji could give orders, Scarlet Canine suddenly opened its massive maw and spewed out a scorching pillar of orange fire!
Beast Skill: Spray Flame!
A violent wave of flames swept across the entire area, but three azure specters weaved through the inferno, easily dodging the attack. Before the flames had even subsided, the three figures had already broken through the fiery cover, surrounding Scarlet Canine from three sides in a pincer attack. Its thick mantis arms, capable of beheading, glowed faintly with red light as they swung out without hesitation!
Beast Skill: Cross Slash!!!
In an instant, a piercing shriek echoed through the entire area. Three dark red energy slashes shot out, precisely hitting Scarlet Canine's body...
"Crack!"
A terrified canine head rolled onto the ground, dyeing the dry, fallen leaves and earth red.
In less than three breaths, the Elite Grade, Rank 1, Level 6 Scarlet Canine was slain on the spot with no power to resist!
"Snap!" Two afterimages dissolved into black mist.
Night Hunt didn't pause and lunged towards the pale-faced Zhang Ji!
"Gang Ge, save me!"
Zhang Ji's face turned ashen, and he turned to flee for his life.
"Ye Xuan, how dare you!" Du Gang snapped back to his senses, letting out an angry roar of protest!
"Puchi!"
Zhang Ji, while fleeing, stopped in his tracks, blood gushing from his mouth. He looked down at his chest, where a thick, blackish-green beheading mantis blade was prominently displayed. With a flash of the blade, it was withdrawn, and Zhang Ji was split in two...
The air filled with the scent of blood, quickly permeating the nostrils of everyone present, lingering persistently.
"Du Gang, you should be glad you still have value. Otherwise, you'd be the first person I'd kill today." Facing Du Gang's angry, dark eyes, Ye Xuan slowly made a throat-slitting gesture.
Night Hunt tilted its head, mimicking the gesture, as if in provocation.
"Let's go."
Ye Xuan waved his hand and turned towards the depths of the dense forest.
Ye Mei's notes recorded this.
On the thirty-seventh day, the instructor would dispatch one hundred Black Robe Crow-Faced Inspectors and ten Crow-Faced Captains to hunt down the prisoners.
This would increase the difficulty of the ten-day special training.
It was perfect timing to let Du Gang and the others wear down the 'hunters' for him.
Lu Erfa and Sun Yutang were overjoyed and followed along eagerly.
Holy crap!
Young Master Ye is so fierce!
Du Gang's face turned ashen, a knot of resentment building in his chest, wishing he could tear Ye Xuan apart with his bare hands.
"Gang Ge..." Zhang Ji's death filled several of his loyal followers with righteous indignation.
"Move out."
Du Gang clenched his fists, veins bulging, and punched a nearby ancient tree, shaking loose a large number of leaves.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the anger was gone.
Only a deathly calm remained.
"Based on the situation, that Tier 3 Magic Potion, the Blood Bodhi, has already been obtained by Ye Xuan."
"This surname Ye is not simple. As expected of a mixed-blood mongrel from the Ye family."
"This debt of gratitude will be noted for now. All old and new grudges will be settled together another day."
"Let's go, and pick out a suitable Elite Grade Demonic Beast for Xiao Si."
"Yes..."
Several followers suppressed their anger, filled with unwillingness, and glared fiercely at Ye Xuan's retreating back...
...
"Ye Xuan's Azure Blade Night Mantis is so strong. Its level is at least around Rank 1, Level 9."
After a long while, someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Level is one thing, combat technique is another. His Azure Blade Night Mantis actually possesses two Beast Skills."
"If I'm not mistaken, the first one should be Phantom Clone, which only Dark Attribute Demonic Beasts have a chance to master. It consumes a large amount of spiritual power to create two illusory bodies, making it difficult to distinguish real from fake."
"The second is the explosive Cross Slash, which has extremely high lethality."
"..."
A young man with considerable research into Beast Skills spoke eloquently.
The expressions of the prisoner crowd were complex, filled with envy and jealousy.
Damn it, it's bad enough that Ye Xuan's talent is superior from the start, but why are his Demon Pets also so powerful?
After a long time, the crowd dispersed, preparing to find shelter.
Since the Tier 3 Magic Potion, the Blood Bodhi, had already been obtained, there was no benefit in staying any longer.
The night on Bí Dǎo (Nose Island) was about to descend...
At the territory of the Knife-Wielding Baboons, Ye Xuan led the two of them there.
"Young Master Ye, won't these Knife-Wielding Baboons suddenly attack us?" Lu Erfa shrunk his neck, a mix of fear and apprehension.
In Lu Erfa's eyes, the Knife-Wielding Baboons were a pack of nocturnal hooligans who committed all sorts of evil deeds!
"No."
"Provided you don't provoke them."
Ye Xuan smiled and pointed to some of the injured Knife-Wielding Baboons. "Lads, I'll trouble you to lend a hand."
The battle between the new and old ape kings today had resulted in heavy casualties among the Knife-Wielding Baboons. Even the old ape king, Dazhuang, was injured and was currently sitting cross-legged while several female baboons applied mud to his wounds.
Injuries affect combat.
Ye Xuan was counting on the baboons to help him hunt the Night-Slaying Mantis.
This was where the role of 'logistical support' became apparent.
It was just as the saying goes, one must eat with chopsticks!
"Okay."
Lu Erfa and Sun Yutang understood and began to use their Beast Tamer Talents to treat the baboons' injuries.
