Among the skills that Harvey currently possesses, in addition to the newly learned [Harvest], the attack skill [Crow Storm] that he demonstrated in the secret realm, the control skill [Malicious Taunt], and the status skill [Straw Substitute] that is the core of his talent, there are two other skills.

C-level wood attack skill: Corrupted Fruit. Special fruits are formed through the energy secreted. The effect depends on the characteristics of the pet. Some pets will produce fruits that are toxic, or cause negative effects such as paralysis and sleep.

Harvey's Fruit of Corruption is a compressed and released dual-element energy, with an effect roughly equivalent to a small bomb.

The power of the Fruit of Corruption will change with the increase of its own energy. After learning [Harvest], Harvey has an almost inexhaustible source of energy, and the power of the Fruit of Corruption will be further improved.

What surprised Mu Huoyue the most was Harvey's other A-level skill [Evil Ghost Face].

This is a rather rare [Upper Domain Skill].

The extraordinary creatures of the monarch race and the emperor race will awaken domain skills on their own. The monarch race's [Deterrence] is considered an entry-level domain skill, while the emperor race's [Imperial Domain] is a large-scale skill that can dominate an entire area.

Domain skills are well-known skills for clearing away chaos. When facing extraordinary creatures of lower levels than itself, it can easily cause large-scale shock damage.

This is an absolute suppression of racial power. It is difficult to reverse the disadvantage through skills and tactics in battle.

The most effective way to counter domain skills is to activate another domain skill.

Among them, there are very few high-level monarch races and high-level emperor races that can integrate their own conceptual characteristics and awaken [superior domain skills].

The [Evil Face] of the Night Demon Scarecrow is a high-level skill that combines its own concept of intimidation with [Deterrence].

One of the reasons why the scarecrow was created was to stand in the fields to scare away birds that came to steal food. This, like its desire for a good harvest, is one of the concepts that is integrated into the core of Harvey's soul.

[Evil Ghost Face] can cause a stronger mental shock than ordinary [Deterrence], making the opponent feel fearful and affecting the performance of skills in battle.

Even when facing the [Intimidation] of a monarch race of the same level, this skill can take an absolute advantage and push back the opponent's territory.

In addition, [Straw Substitute], which is the core of the talent, is also a very powerful status skill.

When Scarecrow has excess energy, it will create a scarecrow substitute to resist the damage it receives.

As long as the scarecrow substitute is not completely consumed, the Night Demon Scarecrow itself will not be affected in any way, not only by skill damage, but also by skills that bring negative effects such as [Soul Tremor] or [Sleeping Spores].

Currently, Harvey can generate and carry three straw men. As the level and energy increase, this number will continue to increase.

The upper limit of damage that the straw man substitute can withstand depends on the energy of the Night Demon Scarecrow itself, which is currently about one-third of the physical strength of the original body.

Even if the damage received at a single time exceeds the limit of the straw man substitute, it will only cause the destruction of a single substitute. If you want to attack the real body of the Night Demon Scarecrow, further attacks are needed.

This means that in a fully prepared battle, Harvey has at least three layers of health bars, and he can't even think of touching the real Scarecrow if he doesn't defeat the Scarecrow substitute.

Coupled with the [Malicious Taunt] that forced the attack, Mu Huoyue's mind suddenly had hundreds of tactics that he was eager to try.

After learning about the situation of the straw man substitute, Harvey asked a crow to pick up the newly created straw man and hand it over to his beastmaster.

Mu Shuyue was slightly startled, "Is this for me?"

"Rustle--" The Night Demon Scarecrow swayed his body gently.

Just like Eren's [Shadow Stealth], Harvey's [Straw Doll Substitute] can also work on Mu Shuyue, who has the dark enhancement talent. It hopes that the beastmaster can carry his own straw doll substitute with him to protect her safety.

"Thank you, I'll carry it with me." Mu Huoyue couldn't help but smile and accepted Harvey's first expression of kindness.

The shadow under her feet surged. Ellen wanted to say that he would protect Hiiragi's safety, but after thinking about it, he didn't show any shadow.

If they were to encounter dangerous scenes like the Trial Illusion and the "Withered Wasteland" again, Eren could not guarantee that he would be by the Beastmaster's side at all times. With a straw man substitute to resist damage, Hiiragi would at least not suffer fatal injuries, giving him the opportunity to return to the rescue immediately.

Although Harvey was born not long ago, his rationality is very close to that of a high-level pet.

White Fang, who is also in the growth stage, spends most of his time acting like a spoiled brat with the Beastmaster.

"Woof?" Feeling the gaze from Senior Eren in the shadow, the white-haired puppy tilted its head innocently.

As for Harvey's future training direction, Mu Huoyue plans to let him learn more defensive skills, give full play to his characteristic advantages, and continue to develop in the direction of a meat shield.

After understanding the situation of the pets, Mu Shuyue opened the game interface of "Elf Ranch Story".

The gain from this trip to Xizhou, in addition to the contract with Harvey, also included accumulated reward points.

Contracting new pets, exploring and unlocking rewards for S-level secret realms, and fighting in trial illusions all earned a lot of spiritual spring water drops.

Adding the points accumulated in the month after school started, Mu Huoyue had the resources for twenty consecutive draws.

There are about two weeks left until the start of the [Harvest Season Special Recommended Summon] mentioned in the event preview.

During this period, she had to accumulate as many spiritual spring water drops as possible, complete the card drawing in one go during the event, and obtain various rare seeds.

With Harvey around, these seeds will soon mature and bear fruit, greatly enhancing the strength of Mu Huoyue and her pets.

Mu Huoyue looked at the night demon scarecrow stationed in the farmland.

Harvey seemed very satisfied with the [farmland] in the Beast Taming Space. He never moved after digging into the soil.

It stretches out its body and sways gently with the breeze in the field. The well-growing crystal grass and wheat seedlings in the field also sway slightly with the scarecrow at the same amplitude, making the picture warm and harmonious.

"Rustle--" The scarecrow spoke gently to his beastmaster.

Thank you for coming to me that night.

…

Mu Yuyue opened her eyes.

The return flight was still in flight, and the rumbling sound of the air and the even breathing of the sleeping passengers echoed in my ears.

She shifted in her seat to stretch her slightly stiff body.

Ellen returned to her shadow along with the Beastmaster's consciousness, and Mu Shuyue couldn't help but smile.

In the beast taming space, White Fang was sleeping in the [resting hut] with his favorite bone toy as a pillow, while Harvey was still standing in the field.

Its love for the [Farmland] is about the same as Eren's love for the Beastmaster's Shadow, and it stays there whenever it has free time.

Recalling the scene when the contract was proposed when they met, Mu Huoyue felt a little emotional.

The race and attributes of the Night Demon Scarecrow were in line with her goals, but in such a dangerous and unstable environment, she did not initially think that the other party could be contracted.

Until I entered that long yet short dream.

In her dream, she saw the core of the consciousness of the Night Demon Scarecrow and heard its regret and yearning for a good harvest, which made her determined to make a contract with it.

Why did I happen to see Harvey's conscious dream at that time?

This was the second thing in the "Desolate Wasteland" that Mu Chuyue couldn't understand. After thinking about it, it was probably because his emotional perception became more acute after his beast taming talent was upgraded?

As she thought about it, she slowly closed her eyes, preparing to take a short rest before the plane landed.

On the luggage rack above her seat, in a corner that no one paid attention to, a transparent arc outline flashed by.

The fantasy supernatural creature in the [Invisible] state showed a rather smug expression.

"Mmm~"

…

…

The plane landed safely. Mu Liuyue planned to report back to school first, and then go to the Dark Research Institute to ask Professor Xie Qingwei to check on Harvey's condition.

The experience of this trip to Xizhou gave her some more insights into the improvement of [Contract Entropy] in her research topic, and it was a good opportunity to communicate with Professor Xie.

Walking into the school, Mu Huoyue found that the battle hall was particularly lively today.

The sounds coming from inside could be heard at the school gate, and students were constantly walking towards that side.

Normally, there would only be such a scene in the fighting hall during school competitions, but Mu Liuyue had not heard of any school competitions being held recently.

She randomly asked a classmate and learned that a university exchange team from the Hela region was coming over in the past two days, hoping to have friendly exchanges and discussions with Dayan’s Beastmaster University. After arriving, they chose Jingzhou University as their first stop.

Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Does this count as coming to challenge?

It was said to be a friendly exchange and discussion. If Jingda lost, not only would they lose face in front of their foreign friends, but as the first stop for exchanges among Hela universities, they would definitely be laughed at by other universities in Dayan.

She suddenly turned and headed towards the battle hall.

The atmosphere in the venue was in full swing. Mu Huiyue saw Wen Li on the battlefield at a glance. Opposite her was a young man with short brown hair and golden eyes, who was looking at her leisurely.

This battle has come to an end, Wen Li's Flame Attack Cat and the Red Firefly...

Mu Huiyue saw the round fiery red cocoon on top of Yanxi Miao’s head. After not seeing it for a week, the red firefly had already completed its cocoon.

This was a doubles match, and Wen Li lost the match, with a look of unwillingness on her face.

If this person hadn't insisted on having a doubles match, and her Xiao Chi was in the cocooning state and his fighting power was not as good as her as a beastmaster, how could she let the opponent win so easily!

“Thank you, this is my victory.” The brown-haired young man opposite spoke in the language of the Hela region.

He shrugged, looking unconcerned, "It seems that Da Yan's fire inheritance is just like this. I thought it would be more interesting."

Wen Li's veins popped up when he heard this, and the flame patterns on his skin flashed by. He was just about to roll up his sleeves and join the fight himself.

The students of the Hela exchange group all had smiles on their faces, in sharp contrast to the gloomy face of the Dean of Studies of the Combat Department of Jingzhou University who was sitting next to them.

This Hela student named Fair has won three battles in a row.

He was a super star who had just enrolled at Hela High School this year, a level 4 beastmaster, and his pet was not beyond maturity. The Hela exchange group proposed a competition between the freshmen, and the dean in charge of the reception readily agreed, but he did not expect to face the current situation.

"Otherwise, don't have any freshman competitions. Let's let you fight against the strongest beastmaster in the combat department." Feier smiled and hooked his fingers. "No matter who it is, my pets will not lose."

The scene fell into silence for a moment. If the senior students of the combat department really defeated this person by crushing him in level, Jingzhou University's position would be the same as losing the game.

Moreover, judging from the previous match, the seniors may not necessarily win.

Doubles combat is Hela's advantage as a beastmaster, plus Feier's talent for beastmastering... do they really want to let Xiang Xun go up?

It would be better to say that Jingzhou University lost an exchange match than to let the school team's ace defeat the freshmen of the exchange group.

The dean twitched the corners of his mouth and tried hard to force a smile at the inquiring looks from the exchange group.

"The next step is..."

"I'll do it." A clear voice sounded on the battlefield.

The beautiful black-haired girl walked through the crowd of spectators and stood on the battlefield.

She spoke in fluent Hila language, "I am Mu Shuyue, a freshman in the Combat Department. May I ask for your advice?"
