Chapter Three – Furious Levelling Up
“Mutant Forest Wind Wolf, mutant Flying Crow, Mutant spirit beast Thunderbird, mutant Forest Gibbon … … motherf**ker, when did Crimson Forge recruit a senior beast tamer? no, that's not right. Senior beast tamers are not this fast when taming. Is it … … is it a master beast tamer?”
Ba Tuke frightened himself with his speculation. “Gulp.” He swallowed his slip, and felt a wave of cold up his spine.
“Captain Ba Tuke, what are you muttering about?” Li Qing who was also standing on the Saber-Toothed Tiger King's back he cut down a few thunderbirds and said exasperatedly to Ba Tuke.
“Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack seem to have a master beast tamer.” Ba Tuke finally knew to fear. He shook as he said to Li Qing. “Li Qing Daren, look. They have tamed many of the magic beasts that were partic.i.p.ating in the magic beast siege. Those magic beasts are now magus beasts for the Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack magisters. They also just shouted, “Long Live Zhui Yun Daren, it is possible … …”
Ba Tuke didn't dare to keep on speaking. He always paid great attention to news about Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack. He was sure that these two mercenary companies didn't have beast tamers before. Then there was only the possibility, that Zhui Yun, who possessed sacred beasts, and was a young and mysterious spirit magister.
“What?” Li Qing's body also shuddered once in fright at the news. Then he looked over nervously at Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack's camp. As expected, he saw the numerous mutant magus beasts. Also, those magus beasts were increasing in number. Aofeng was not on the battlefield. He and Ba Tuke turned into statues on the back of the Saber-Toothed Tiger King.
The other companies and Luo Li on the city walls also saw the situation.
“F**k, that Striped Spirit Cat just biting us because a magus beast of Crimson Forge?
“Master beast tamer! There is definitely a master beast tamer present!”
“Look at them, they are surrounding a person. Ah, it's … … it's Zhui Yun Daren!”
They finally realized why Crimson Force and Wolf Pack had cheered. The people on the battlefield were filled with jealousy and looked enviously at the Wolf Pack and Crimson Forge Mercenary Companies that had just obtained new magus beasts.
“I'm so stupid. Why didn't I stand up for Zhui Yun Daren yesterday!” The captain of an adventurer team who had been in the Castellan's Mansion but remained silent when Aofeng and Li Qing had argued was filled with regret. Such a great chance to establish ties with a master beast tamer. He missed the chance just like that.
There were many voices like his … …
“No wonder Mistress Su Ya thinks so highly of this youth. No wonder he doesn't care about the bet on sacred beasts. Will a master beast tamer worry about lacking magus beasts? The siege doesn't lack for sacred beasts. He can tame as many as he wants.” Luo Li on the walls looked as Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack transformed, and then looked at Flying Aspara Mercenary Company who was in low spirits. He snorted a laugh. “Offending such a young and talented a master beast tamer? Li Qing and Ba Tuke's heads must have been kicked by a horse. Let's see what you do now.”
Li Qing and Ba Tuke's faces turned green and then white. They felt as though they didn't know what to do. If they continued this compet.i.tion, they would offend this young master beast tamer. But what they would lose was two sacred beasts. Those would be great losses!
“What … … what to do?” Li Qing was on the verge of tears. He was a young person and inexperienced. He had never managed any great matter by himself. The mission that Archbishop Daren had given him this time was for him to gain experience. Now he didn't finish his mission, and he might lose a sacred beast or offend a master beast tamer. No matter which one it was, the consequences would make Archbishop Daren so angry that the Archbishop would want to skin him!
Ba Tuke viciously bit down. His eyes flashed with cold light. “Since we already offended him, then we will not rest! As long as he dies, who cares about a master beast tamer, we do not have anything to fear then!”
“How can a magic beast siege of this level kill him? Do not forget that if he cannot win in a fight, he knows how to fly. Rong Luo and Lu Feng accompany him, and I have no way of attacking!” Li Qing's pale face showed fury. He felt hatred inside. If it was not for this d.a.m.ned old man suggesting a bet, how would he have increased the trouble?
“Daren, no need to panic, Wolf Pack and Crimson Forge are in danger!” Ba Tuke said with a cold smile. He patted his chest confidently. “At that time, they will not be able to even take care of their own mercenary companies, how would they be able to help Zhui Yun? Li Qing, just wait and watch. When evening comes, they will all die!”
Li Qing saw Ba Tuke's confidence and forced a nod. He continued to fight against the army of magic beasts. However, he felt anxious and wasn't able to calm down again.
At this time, Aofeng was sitting at the center of the Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack mercenaries. The crowd of mercenaries looked at her with heated gazes. Each of the surrounding mercenaries had energetic expressions. They were filled with pride. Protecting Zhui Yun Daren was an honor!
