Just as Tyrant Bear's paw was about to strike the group, the Mace in front of them suddenly multiplied into three Maces.

The two Mayes each led Lu Yuan and his tamed beast away from the Tyrant Bear, while the other Maye nimbly jumped onto the Tyrant Bear's arm and rushed towards its shoulder.

"Does everyone think I'm easy to bully?"

Jiang Liu's lips twitched when he saw Mays rushing straight at him.

Both Lu Yuan and Chi Lin had been avoiding Tyrant Bear, looking for an opportunity to attack him. Now, another one, Mays, was also recklessly heading straight for him.

Jiang Liu was indeed not as strong as Tyrant Bear, but he was not the kind of beast tamer who couldn't even kill a chicken!

Jiang Liu is a high-level Illusion God, equivalent to one of the top experts in the entire Ling'an Continent. When did he become an easy target to bully?

Jiang Liu also had a temper. After resting on Tyrant Bear's shoulder for so long, his condition had gradually recovered. So this time, he did not choose to dodge, but instead threw a punch at Mays' face.

However.

Jiang Liu had just fallen right into Mays' trap.

Unlike Jiang Liu, Mays is the cautious type.

Even when facing opponents weaker than himself, Mays will use every means at his disposal to achieve victory.

This is also why he was able to stand out from the many experts in the Divine Pavilion and was arranged by Uncle Fu to be Lu Yuan's close protector.

Mace's thinking was very clear; the moment Tyrant Bear made his move, he had already planned what would happen next.

His primary goal, though cautious, was not to defeat Jiang Liu. His objective was the same as Lu Yuan's—to protect Lu Yuan.

Therefore, Mays' first choice was not to attack, but to run away.

It wasn't that he wanted to run away himself, but that he wanted to run away with Lu Yuan.

The clone that rushed towards Jiang Liu was not actually trying to do anything to Jiang Liu.

"brush!"

Jiang Liu threw a punch, but his angry strike hit nothing but air.

The menacing Mays was instantly blasted into black feathers by this punch, scattering in all directions in the air.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Liu himself.

He almost fell off the Tyrant Bear's shoulder because he missed his punch.

"Damn rat!"

Jiang Liu forcefully brushed off the black feathers stuck to his body, raised his head, and saw that Mace had already taken Lu Yuan away from the Tyrant Bear's attack range.

"Where do you think you're going!"

"Tyrant Bear, use Gravity Pull!"

A strange force established a connection between Tyrant Bear and Mace. The next moment, Tyrant Bear sprinted towards Mace, a stark contrast to its previous slow pace, rapidly closing the distance between them.

"snort."

Mace also felt the Tyrant Bear's power pulling him towards him.

Even though he seemed to be much faster than Tyrant Bear, he knew that once locked onto by this force, the distance between him and Tyrant Bear would only get closer and closer.

Mays acted decisively, immediately abandoning Lu Yuan and his beast, dispelling one of his clones, and running off in another direction.

really.

After Mays changed direction, Tyrant Bear had no choice but to abandon Lu Yuan, whom he was about to encounter, and followed Mays, continuing to chase after him.

Jiang Liu frowned. He did want to go down and kill Lu Yuan directly, but then he thought of the Beastmaster who had not yet shown himself and was secretly controlling the natural spirits, as well as Lu Yuan's strength, which far surpassed that of ordinary Heavenly Evolution... If he left the Tyrant Bear, he, Jiang Liu, might really capsize in a ditch, so he had to give up for the time being.

Gravity traction can improve Tyrant Bear's slow movement, but this skill also has very large limitations.

Once gravity has locked onto the target, this traction is bidirectional.

Tyrant Bear can use gravity to quickly approach its target, but it can only move in the direction of the target; otherwise, it will be affected by its own gravity until it catches up with the target.

So now, Tyrant Bear has no choice but to catch up with Mace first, kill him, and then go after Lu Yuan.

"He really is a clumsy bear."

Just as Tyrant Bear finally caught up with Mace and was about to slap the little mouse in front of him to death, Mace turned his head and smiled slightly.

The next moment.

Tyrant Bear slammed its paw on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

However, Mace had already vanished into the smoke and dust, leaving only a flurry of black feathers scattered across the sky.

at the same time.

Mays appeared in another direction, smiling as he looked at Jiang Liu and Tyrant Bear.

"Brutal strength alone is meaningless."

"It seems that the so-called Myriad Realms Tianjiang Family is nothing more than this."

Mays toyed with the dagger in his hand while mocking Jiang Liu.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

On Mace's shoulder, a jet-black raven cawed, seemingly mocking the Tyrant Bear's foolishness.

"roar!"

Enraged by Mace and Raven's taunts, Tyrant Bear pounced.

However.

Apart from a pile of feathers, Tyrant Bear naturally left nothing behind.

"Tyrant Bear, calm down!"

"That's a phantom raven, don't be fooled!"

Jiang Liu quickly tried to calm Tyrant Bear down.

Mace's tamed beast is the Phantom Raven.

The Phantom Raven is not a rare beast; it is not powerful, and in some places, it is as common as roadside weeds.

Although the name Phantom Raven sounds impressive, its so-called "phantom" is not a sophisticated mental illusion, but rather the lowest form of visual deception, commonly known as sleight of hand.

Because the Phantom Raven itself doesn't have any effective means of attack, if you encounter it in the wild, at most you'll just be pranked by it, and it won't cause much damage.

Therefore, when Mays encountered the Jiang family assassin who tamed a dream-eating beast, he was trapped in a dream from which he could not escape—because Mays' mental strength was not outstanding.

but.

Unlike ordinary phantom crows, Mace's phantom crow has grown up alongside him and gone through many battles.

The two of them.

An ordinary person and an ordinary phantom raven have grown into phantom god masters. Their abilities are far beyond what can be described as a mere prank.

Although Mace is only at the second level of the Illusion God realm, which is much lower than Jiang Liu's, his and Phantom Raven's abilities are indeed enough to cause them a lot of trouble.

Seeing Mays smiling at him from another place, Jiang Liu once again felt a sense of unease.
