The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1020 - 365

"Roar!"

"Boom"

The colossal crimson silhouette crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Hong Ye swiftly carved off hundreds of pounds of flesh from the back of the Fire Monkey.

Most Exotic Beasts in this realm are inedible, with only a small portion of their flesh being non-toxic; the Fire Monkeys that surrounded them were such beasts.

If not, with Exotic Beasts weighing at least a thousand pounds and up to tens of thousands, how could the Yun Yan Team ever be in short supply of food?

"Sister Hong Ye, hurry up, other monkeys are coming!"

The watchful Bai Lu urged anxiously.

"Got it, got it!"

Hong Ye looked regretfully at the remaining flesh.

Hong Ye’s profession is an assassin; while not strong in direct confrontation, her assassination skills are formidable. Taking on those thick-skinned Fire Monkeys head-on is indeed challenging, but as long as she finds one isolated, she can kill it in a single strike.

Bai Lu is a doctor, exceptional in healing, and possesses some reconnaissance ability, making the duo quite suitable for hunting together.

Passing through the lush, verdant forest, they arrived at a magnificent waterfall, where Hong Ye and Bai Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, bending their knees slightly before disappearing into the waterfall with a forceful leap.

Behind the waterfall was not some dark cave, but rather a slightly sparser forest.

"Are you alright!"

After a few days of recuperation, Wuta’s injuries had improved significantly, though his combat strength had yet to fully recover.

"Still manageable, but the monkeys are becoming increasingly vigilant; the ensuing hunts may become more perilous." Bai Lu said, furrowing her brow.

"Wuta, how’s your recovery? I’m an assassin serving you every day; I dread the day when I slip up and get smacked to death by those damned monkeys!" Hong Ye vented her grievances.

Wuta scratched his head sheepishly, "I should be almost recovered; I’ll go hunting tomorrow!"

"Count me in!"

Mo Sang spoke, having quietly approached the three.

"Mo Sang, have your injuries healed?"

Mo Sang touched the scar on his chest with some heaviness in his tone, "Miss, I used that Golden Core!"

"I see now!"

"Since Mo Sang has recovered, you two can handle the hunting!" Hong Ye waved her hand decisively.

"Let’s do as Hong Ye suggested; the hunting is up to you two!"

Yun Yan, walking from a distance, agreed with Hong Ye’s idea and continued, "We’re almost out of medical supplies, getting injured will be troublesome."

"Next, Hong Ye, you don’t need to hunt beasts, but you should gather some Spirit Plants outside!"

"Bai Lu, carefully identify the uses of the Spirit Plants Hong Ye collects, and gather more healing ones!"

"After narrowly escaping death last time, I feel close to a breakthrough, and I’ve caught sight of the sign. It’s up to you all now; once I successfully break through, leaving this place shouldn’t be too difficult!"

"Great news!"

Seeing the excitement on everyone’s faces, Yun Yan couldn’t resist a slight smile.

"Moreover, once I break through, my chances of contacting the family will be much greater!"

"Everyone, Dawn lies ahead. Let’s not give up!"

"Yes, Miss!"

..........

As for the predicament faced by his leg up, Chen Jiuge was utterly unaware.

The date of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion’s grand opening, set for a month later, was drawing nearer, and Chen Jiuge couldn’t help feeling a bit tense.

From leaving the Inner Circle to Yun Congyi delivering Master Seven’s Jade Pendant into his hand, it was clear to Chen Jiuge that someone had been monitoring his movements all along.

Why those shadowy watchers hadn’t made their move yet, Chen Jiuge speculated, was likely because they were waiting for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion to open!

If the Pavilion’s business was prosperous and the profits substantial, then his private collaboration with Yun Congyi to set up a branch wouldn’t be an issue.

If the branch failed to meet expectations, Chen Jiuge feared the outcome wouldn’t be favorable, likely ending up as a heartless Spirit Beast Breeding machine in confinement.

"Sigh, it’s really difficult!"

After all, the issue lies in insufficient strength, and achieving a breakthrough in cultivation isn’t easy. Despite Chen Jiuge’s exaggeratedly rapid cultivation progress, reaching the Seventh Level still seemed far off.

Even if he did break through to the Seventh Level, it wouldn’t be enough. To gain any form of autonomy, he would need the strength of a Limit Breaker.

Amidst his contemplations, the cultivation of a Purple Lightning Mink quietly concluded.

Its dark purple fur occasionally crackled with violet sparks, embodying the Purple Lightning Mink’s characteristic ability to manipulate lightning, alongside its excellent reconnaissance aptitude, making it a favored companion for Hunters targeting Fierce Beasts!

Chen Jiuge focused on enhancing its control over lightning since the Purple Lightning Mink’s reconnaissance abilities mainly relied on sensing through lightning. Strengthening its lightning control would not only boost its combat power but also improve its reconnaissance capabilities, achieving dual gains.

"The number of Purple Lightning Minks is about right; it seems there’s only one more species left to cultivate!"

Earth River Car!

This Fierce Beast’s name is unusual, but it complements its ability well, as the Earth River Car is primarily used for transporting goods.

It resembles a plump little pig, with a massive mouth capable of swallowing objects far larger than itself, and a stomach that forms its own space, able to hold an extensive amount of cargo.

Raising an Earth River Car is extremely simple; it’s not picky about food and will eat anything containing Spiritual Energy, making its care undemanding. With these advantageous traits, the Earth River Car is very popular among Hunters.
