Chapter 1646

Chapter 631 Chaos (Part 2)

As soon as the words were spoken, a woman with short, neat hair jumped down from the tree, looked up, and frowned, saying,

“It’s people from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy.”

A middle-aged man with red curly hair slowly exhaled a puff of thick white smoke and said,

“There are already enough people eyeing the Myriad Source Fruit. Don’t let them in any more.”

After speaking, he looked at a man lying on the ground with his eyes closed, his hair snow-white, but his face firm, and he looked to be only in his early thirties, and said,

“Dagur, go and deal with them.”

Dagur opened his eyes.

Before he could get up, the short-haired woman looked up and said in a deep voice,

“It’s probably not enough for him alone. The information we received was wrong. This time, the Imperial Beast Taming Academy sent five people.”

…

“Xunxun!”

High in the sky, Little Xunbao pointed at the Hundred Illusion Butterflies burning and dissipating below and shouted, indicating that there was danger below.

After speaking, he patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and called out again,

“Xunxun…”

Luckily, we didn’t go down just now.

“Fire Barrier…” Qiao Sang frowned as he looked at the scene below.

The Fire Barrier, almost classified as a high-level skill by the Beast Taming Alliance, is unlike other barrier skills. Besides its isolation effect, it also has a chance to burn any creature that comes into contact with its surface.

At the Proficiency Mastery level, the probability of burning a creature is 100%.

Attacking it will trigger a powerful explosion; the stronger the attack, the more terrifying the explosion. Even if destroyed, it will still cause damage to the opponent.

“It’s people from Flame Sky University,” Bjorn said in a deep voice.

“Of those who came in, only Leif from Flame Sky University knows the Fire Barrier.”

“You already know who’s coming in?” Josang asked, somewhat surprised.

She thought they only knew what forces were coming.

“We have a general list,” Bjorn replied. “Our school’s foundation is on Blue Star, so we’re better at gathering information than other alien forces.”

“Who came from Flame Sky University?” Michaela asked.

“Lefer, Dagur, and Martha,” Bjorn said. “Lefer and Dagur are both A-rank professional beast tamers, but Lefer has already bred an Emperor-rank pet beast, making him the strongest among the people from Yantian University. Martha is an A-rank healer and an A-rank explorer. She’s not strong in individual combat, but considering the team as a whole, she’s the most troublesome. I suggest that if a fight breaks out later, we should take care of Martha first.”

I understand, in a raid, take out the healer first… Josang suddenly thought of something and said,

“There’s more than just Yantian University in this secret realm. Several other forces have come here before and should have found the location of the Myriad Source Fruit. If we fight with the people from Yantian University now, won’t other forces take the opportunity to steal the Myriad Source Fruit?”

“No,” Bjorn said confidently. “The people from Yantian University are still here. The Fire Barrier hasn’t been damaged, and there’s no sound of fighting, which means the Myriad Source Fruit isn’t ripe yet. Everyone is still observing the situation.”

“Should we destroy the fire barrier now?” Laufey asked, glancing down at the area below.

Bjorn pondered for a moment before offering his advice:

“I think we should observe the situation first and avoid conflict with the people from Flame University. Other forces have already entered, and they’re probably all eyeing this place. There might be other forces inside the fire barrier as well.” “

While the fire barrier can block some sound and sight, it can’t completely isolate us. And if a fight breaks out, an explosion will occur upon contact with the fire barrier, and the sound will be heard both inside and outside the barrier.”

“There will definitely be other forces coming then.”

“I think the best time for us to act is when there’s movement inside.”

Laufey shook his head:

“It might be too late. The commotion we just caused will definitely let the people from Flame University know we’re outside. Unless they’re stupid, they won’t let us lie in ambush here forever.”

“Should we change our ambush location now?” Stein asked.

Wait, is it really necessary to be this cautious? There are five of us, and only three on the other side. Teacher Michaela is still here, plus me. If Teacher Michaela can take down the only Emperor-level pet beast of the Yantian University team, taking down the others and their pet beasts will be a piece of cake. If all else fails, I can take care of that Emperor-level pet beast myself. What if the Myriad Source Fruit is picked inside, hidden by some pet beast, or simply taken away…? Qiao Sang hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

If the opposing forces also have pet beasts with abilities like the Little Treasure-Seeking Ring, or the ability to put items into other dimensions, how will they find the Myriad Source Fruit then?

She wanted to speak up, but felt that her thinking might be too simplistic. After all, besides the forces of Yantian University, there are many other forces watching.

Even if we deal with the people from Yantian University, it wouldn’t be good if other forces took advantage of the situation…

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Michaela asked,

“Of all the forces that have entered, how many S-rank professional beast tamers are there?”

Bjorn was taken aback at first, then quickly replied,

“Three in total, from the Sea Worm Kingdom, the Returning Beast Group, and the Super Star Beast Taming Club.”

He paused, then added,

“Originally, there were only two S-rank professional beast tamers who entered, but for some reason, the people from the Super Star Beast Taming Club suddenly decided to send an S-rank professional beast tamer.”

The Super Star Beast Taming Club… Could it be that they specifically sent an S-rank professional beast tamer because they knew I had entered Secret Realm 2…? Josang thought to himself as he looked at Teacher Michaela.

However, Michaela didn’t notice his gaze, but instead looked down down and said,

“If there are only three S-rank professional beast tamers, there’s no need to think so much. Let’s just attack directly. These three come from different forces, so they can’t possibly unite against us immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Josang’s eyes lit up, and the other three were all shocked.

“But…” Bjorn wanted to say something more.

At that moment, Jossan and Michaela suddenly sensed something simultaneously and exclaimed in unison,

“Move!”

“Mimi.”

Just as they finished speaking, a massive red beam of light, ten meters thick, roared down from below.

The expected explosion upon hitting the fire barrier did not occur.

The fiery barrier had vanished without a trace, and the massive red beam of light, unimpeded, hurtled straight towards the Skybird with terrifying momentum and power.

The Skybird was startled, flapping its wings and transforming into a streak of blue light as it moved swiftly.

With a “bang,” a transparent barrier blocked its path.

Laufey and the other two paled at the sight.

Just as the thick red beam was only a few meters from the Skybird, the group of figures vanished from their spot, reappearing a hundred meters away in the sky. The red beam had missed its target, piercing the heavens.

“Xunxun…”

Little Xunbao patted its chest on the Skybird’s back, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it had acted quickly enough.

Laufey and the other two also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Xiaxia!”

Xiabao, with a “how scary!” expression, rushed into her Beastmaster’s arms.

A large-scale attack launched without warning, then a barrier blocking their path… Brilliant! If Little Treasure Hunter hadn’t been able to teleport, they would most likely have succeeded… Qiao Sang’s professional instincts kicked in; while holding Xia Bao, he subconsciously analyzed the situation, inwardly admiring it.

Just then, Penjami appeared out of thin air in front of the Skybird, her eyes glowing blue as she looked down.

The next second, terrifying gravity suddenly poured down, the entire air and earth trembled violently, and thick trees were crushed into the ground by the immense force.

Tree trunks bent and cracked, and swathes of trees sank into the earth one after another.

The screams of people and pets rose and fell.

“Ahhh! Stop! Stop!”

“Who! Who is it!”

“Are they crazy! The Myriad Source Fruit is still here!”

“Stop! Stop it!”

“Who did this?!”

High in the sky, Laufey and the other two swallowed hard, watching the commotion below.

“Senior, the Myriad Source Fruit is in this area. Won’t Penjami’s actions damage it?” Laufey asked worriedly, looking at the scene below.

“Don’t worry, since so many forces have arrived beforehand, they must have people guarding the Myriad Source Fruit,” Michaela said calmly.

“Teacher, are you planning to fight directly and eliminate all the forces here?” Qiao Sang asked.

Michaela smiled and said,

“Not me, but us. You haven’t had much formal combat since becoming an S-rank Beastmaster. This is a good opportunity to see your strength.”

Qiao Sang’s heart stirred upon hearing this.

At the same time, a person and a beast appeared in the sky under the immense gravity.

To be able to move freely under Penjami’s gravity, this person must be one of the three S-rank Beastmasters… Qiao Sang glanced at the old man in the distance who looked to be in his sixties with half-white hair, thinking to herself.

“Qiao Sang?”

The old man looked over, his expression surprised and uncertain, seemingly not expecting to see her here.

“This is Xue Bo, an S-rank professional beast tamer from the Guishou Group,” Bjorn said quickly in a low voice. “He owns an Emperor-level pet beast, Aoqidora.”

Aoqidora, an Emperor-level flying pet beast, loves to fly high in the sky every day and dislikes staying in one place for too long. If it stays in one place for too long, it becomes irritable… Qiao Sang subconsciously recalled relevant information in his mind.

Just then, the blue light in Penjami’s eyes disappeared.

The immense gravity dissipated.

The air surged, and a group of people and their pets appeared either out of thin air or flew out into the sky.

He didn’t recognize any of them… Qiao Sang roughly scanned the people who appeared in the air and found that he didn’t know any of them.

The people who appeared in the air all had ugly expressions and looked over, their eyes filled with hostility.

“People from the Imperial Beast Taming Academy? What’s wrong with you? Are you planning to attack right now?”

“You think five people can take on our whole group?”

“Are you crazy! Are you planning to destroy the Myriad Source Fruit and prevent anyone from getting it?!”

As they spoke, some of them recognized Josang and Michaela. Their pupils contracted, and they exchanged glances with their own allies, their faces showing fear and hesitation.

“Shut up! It’s Josang! And her instructor!” Xue Bo said, his face grim.

The angry crowd instantly fell silent.

Josang, the youngest S-rank professional beast tamer in history—anyone who paid attention to or knew anything about professional beast tamers knew her.

An 18-year-old professional beast tamer—that age was terrifying for an S-rank professional beast tamer.

Just as everyone was exchanging glances, a white beam of light shot straight towards the location of the Sky Bird.

Penjami’s eyes glowed blue.

Then, the beam of light suddenly changed direction 180 degrees, pointing vertically downwards, and exploded on the ground with a “boom.”

Seeing this, everyone turned to look at the source of the white beam of light.

Beside a white monkey-like pet about two meters tall, a black-haired man with a full beard and a black insect-type pet perched on his head shouted,

“What are you afraid of! There are so many of us!”

“He is Zeng Hai, an S-rank professional beast tamer from the Sea Insect Kingdom,” Bjorn said in a low voice. “He only owns one Emperor-level pet, an insect-type Gold-Eating Noble Insect.”

The Gold-Eating Noble Insect is an Emperor-level insect-type pet that loves to eat gold from a young age. If it eats gold from birth, its talent is more easily activated, and its upper limit is higher. If it doesn’t grow up eating gold, its talent will be more ordinary. Although this insect-type pet’s upper limit can reach Emperor level, because it is an insect-type and raising it from a young age is too expensive, there aren’t many beast tamers who contract it… Qiao Sang looked at the black insect-type pet on the man’s head in the distance, and related information surfaced in her mind.

At the same time, she heard a slightly timid voice from the crowd:

“Their two are S-rank Beastmasters, I think we should…”

The voice trailed off.

A barrage of skills of different colors converged on a single point from different directions.

Crimson flames, yellow lightning, purple beams of light, a whirlwind of countless green blades… skills of different attributes tore through the sky, bombarding the direction of the Skybird with overwhelming force.

The Skybird flapped its wings, attempting to move.

Laufey and the other two tensed, raising their hands and forming hand seals.

But just then, Qiao Sang spoke:

“Wear it.”

“Xun Xun~”

Little Xun Bao floated above its Beastmaster, cried out, and its eyes glowed purple.

The next second, black holes like abysses appeared out of thin air around the Skybird, completely obscuring its figure.

Skills of different attributes rushed into the black holes and disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, black holes also appeared out of thin air above the people and pets around.

The flames, lightning, purple beams of light, and green blades that had disappeared earlier… all kinds of skills shot out from the black holes, attacking the people and pets below.

Some people and pets reacted quickly, casting barriers or moving fast, while others were unable to dodge and screamed.

In the midst of the chaos, Michaela gestured downwards to Bjorn with his eyes.

Bjorn’s heart stirred, and he nodded slightly.

Then, he gestured downwards to Hundred Illusion Butterfly with his eyes as well.

Without a word, the Hundred Illusion Butterfly’s eyes glowed blue, and it disappeared on the back of the Light Sky Bird with Bjorn.
