On the third day of the wilderness survival competition, Mu Liuyue and Wen Li packed up their camp at dawn and headed towards the center of the deserted island.
With Ellen in the shadow helping to keep watch, the two of them were able to get a full night's sleep in the wild, and after a night, they both recovered to their best condition.
White Fang and Ellen were able to recover so quickly because of the effect of the [Rest Hut], while Flame Raider was purely due to the talent of the Beastmaster.
Wen Li's recovery ability was even more exaggerated. After eating and sleeping enough, she became full of energy, like a lively little stove. Mu Huiyue could even feel the vigorous heat from her [burning blood] in her body.
The closer you get to the center, the higher-level wild supernatural creatures you encounter, and even the plants become much taller.
Overly thick trees absorb nutrients from the soil, causing the ground to become empty and no longer covered with low vegetation such as vines and shrubs.
The tall trees blocked the sunlight, casting mottled shadows and creating a comfortable environment for dark pets.
Low-level social supernatural creatures like the Shovel Beetle were nowhere to be seen, but they did encounter several warrior races in the growth stage along the way, all of which were wiped out by the combined efforts of White Fang and Flame Raider.
However, after walking for such a long time, the number of these high-level extraordinary creatures has not shown any signs of decreasing, but has increased instead.
After releasing several Moon Explosions in succession, White Fang's condition had obviously deteriorated a lot, but he still insisted on walking ahead of the Beastmaster, guarding against wild supernatural creatures that might appear at any time.
Mu Huoyue frowned slightly. After becoming an investigator, she had read a large number of secret realm investigation reports and had a certain understanding of secret realms of various levels.
In a secret place like the deserted island that is already in a stable integration period and has been artificially screened, it stands to reason that there should not be such a continuous and intensive appearance of extraordinary creatures in the growth stage of the warrior race.
The survival of high-level extraordinary creatures requires more energy consumption, occupies a larger activity space, and has differences in biological habits. The wild scene is not like the space for human beasts to tame, so it is difficult for more than two high-level creatures to coexist peacefully.
There must be a reason for the anomaly, just like the field of guava flowers, which is all caused by external forces.
Mu Shuyue stopped walking, and Wen Li, who was unaware of this, turned around and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Shuyue?"
"The air is a little too dry."
Mu Shuyue looked forward and heard some slight crackling sounds, like the static electricity generated when touching a sweater in winter.
Her heart suddenly trembled, but Bai Ya's reaction was faster than hers. He jumped high before Mu Liuyue could say anything.
"White Fang!"
"Woof!" (I'm fine!)
There was a dull thud on the ground, and the little cloud dog landed lightly beside it. A charred burn mark appeared where it had just stood, as if it had been struck by lightning.
"Ha, you're quite capable of escaping from here, Mu Shuyue."
A voice came from a tall tree. Mu Huiyue and Wen Li looked up and saw a hedgehog-headed boy wearing a field training uniform standing on a branch. On his chest was the school emblem of Shengshuitan Middle School, and beside him was a mighty lion more than half a person's height.
The lion's eyes were sharp, like thunder, and purple arcs of electricity kept popping out between its blue-brown neck hair and its tail of the same color, making dangerous crackling sounds. Currently ranked first in points is Fang Xuyang from Hongzhou Shengshuitan Middle School and his partner Lei Mingshi.
【Name】：Thunder Lion
[Attribute]: Thunder
[Racial Level]: High-level warrior
[Growth Level]: Growth Stage 3
[Talent Core]: Lightning Charge (Lightning Element C Level)
[Normal implicit energy value]: 21542P
[Introduction]: The evolved form of the Electric Lion, it stores electrical energy in its mane and releases it very quickly, and can read information from far away through electromagnetic wave signals.
Mu Huiyue took a look at the illustrations on the bracelet. It was a high-level warrior race in the growth stage with a normal hidden energy value of more than 20,000... The Thunder Lion must also have mastered non-core B-level advanced skills, or other ways to increase energy.
This is Fang Xuyang's ace pet. Unlike Guava Flower, which relies on its characteristics and environment to gain the upper hand, this pet is a real expert in combat. Long before participating in the ranking assessment competition, this pair was already very famous in the high school league circle.
Fang Xuyang jumped down from the branch, with Thunder Lion following beside him. The electric arc seemed to be transmitted to the Beastmaster, causing his hedgehog-like hair to stand up, making it look particularly explosive.
Wen Li and Yan Xi Miao were both furious. Fang Xuyang waved his hand, and more people with the emblem of Shengshuitan Middle School appeared on the branches. They jumped down and surrounded Wen Li.
"You're not the one I'm looking for, but there are others who want to find you. Go ahead and fight."
Fang Xuyang adjusted his hair and said to Wen Li indifferently.
"You bastard￥%...&*" Wen Li's voice was quickly drowned out as she entered a forced 1v1 battle.
Fang Xuyang turned his head and looked at Mu Liuyue.
There were strong emotions and a sense of revenge in his eyes, as if he wanted to crush Mu Chuyue to pieces.
"I made up my mind the moment I saw your name on the qualifying list."
Fang Xuyang spoke word by word, ready to admire the enemy's fear, "I will eliminate you with my own hands, so that you can also taste the despair of powerlessness, Mu Shuyue."
However, the girl in front of him did not show any expression of fear or terror as he had expected.
Mu Shuyue's face was full of confusion. She looked at Fang Xuyang who seemed very excited and considered her words: "...I don't think I know you, Fang Xuyang?"
I know the opponent's name because of Kumasi's pre-match review video.
Fang Xuyang's pupils shrank instantly upon hearing this, and he asked back, "You don't remember?"
He seemed to have heard something unbelievable and repeated it again, "How dare you not remember?!"
Mu Huoyue was silent. In fact, she had already recalled it carefully on the night when Ellen sent back the news, but she really had no recollection. Who knew how she had offended this spiky-haired psychopath.
"…Three years ago, in the National Junior High School Beast Taming Knowledge Competition, and every year before that, every year!" Fang Xuyang roared, gritting his teeth to control his voice, "You took my first place every time!"
oh……
When he mentioned the name of the competition, Mu Liuyue finally remembered it.
From childhood to adulthood, she has participated in various beast taming competitions in every period, and most of the time she won first place. Fang Xuyang may have also participated in the same competitions.
However, Mu Chuyue didn’t remember the person standing behind her at all. To her, Fang Xuyang was just one of many contestants and did not leave any impression in her memory.
"You can only show off your strength now." The hedgehog-haired boy snapped his fingers, with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, "I told you, I will eliminate you myself."
"Woof!" Sensing the other party's dangerous emotions, White Fang protected the Beastmaster, wrinkled his nose and let out a threatening growl.
Seeing this, Fang Xuyang snorted. He was not the kind of reckless man who would just rush up and do the fighting.
This time the plan to encircle Mu Chuyue was determined to succeed, so he specially asked the Thunder Lion to drive all the high-level combat forces around to consume the little cloud dog's physical strength.
Mu Huoyue has only been awakened for a few months, but the little cloud dog has been able to enter the growth period so quickly. It must be because of Mu Tong's legendary breeding method. This pet is undoubtedly her absolute main force.
Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance that she inherited Mu Tong's legendary [Beast Taming Space Enhancement] talent and contracted a second pet, it would be impossible for her to cultivate it to the level of being able to rival the Little Cloud Dog in such a short time.
Fang Xuyang lowered his eyes and looked at the white-haired puppy that growled at him.
When it was fighting against the wild supernatural creatures just now, it used the B-level dark skill Moonblast several times, and its combat awareness was also excellent.
Fang Xuyang estimated that the little cloud dog had also advanced to the growth stage, and its normal hidden energy value was at least over ten thousand. Being able to cultivate such a pet in such a short time, Mu Liuyue was indeed a tough opponent.
But before arriving here, Xiaoyunquan had experienced several battles of the same level with the warrior race in the growth stage.
With only this over-exhausted little cloud dog, even if Mu Chuyue were to be promoted to a legendary beastmaster on the spot, he would not be able to defeat his Thunder Lion.
Mu Huiyue squatted down, picked up Bai Ya, whose breathing was unstable, and touched its fluffy head.
"You've done a great job, White Fang. Go back to the beast control space and rest first."
"Woof..." The puppy licked the palm of the beastmaster's hand and disappeared into the summoning circle with triple dark beast patterns.
Fang Xuyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows upon seeing this. What? Did Mu Chuyue really intend to use another pet to accept the battle?
Mu Chuyue stood up and looked over with his dark eyes, his gaze as gloomy as a shadow.
As early as the first night on the deserted island, when Ellen brought back information about Fang Xuyang, although she didn't understand why the other party had to find her, Mu Liuyue also seriously thought about countermeasures.
In the end, it turned out that she didn't need any countermeasures at all.
This is the preliminary round of the ranking assessment competition held in a secret realm. It is not a real secret realm in the wild. It is not full of deadly dangers like the Castle of the Dead.
Since contestants can only have formal 1v1 battles, it doesn't matter who comes, just fight directly.
Even if she was involved in a round-robin battle, with Mu Huoyue's current strength and the logistical support of the [Rest Hut], she would not be afraid of anyone's challenge.
"Let's start the fight you wanted."
As Mu Huoyue finished speaking, the battle was officially established.
A recording terminal with small wings flew between the two of them, and a translucent projection frame representing the two opposing teams popped up.
Below Fang Xuyang’s portrait is a thundering lion, and below Mu Chuyue’s portrait is a pale skull.
The upcoming battle was also transmitted synchronously from the recording terminal to the live broadcast room. The barrage was filled with viewers who had been waiting for a long time, and a steady stream of people were attracted in.
“It’s started, it’s started, it’s started!”
"Mu Chuanqi's daughter is going to take down the leaderboard leader in one day!"
"I said the opposite before. The Thunder Lion cannot be defeated by just some amazing skills."
"I'm also optimistic about Thunder Lion."
"Use wild monsters to consume the opponent first and then fight. The despicable guy won unfairly."
"It's not against the rules, isn't this a tactic?"
"So Fang Xuyang is still better. He is a player with some brains."
"A bit of brains but not much, huh?"
"What's the avatar of player Mu..."
"Without Little Cloud Dog, what pet will she use to fight?"
“…”
The comments in the live broadcast room were flashing rapidly. After learning that Mu Liuyue, who had won two games in a row yesterday, was once again facing the top player in the standings, the number of spectators increased rapidly.
In addition to the crowds who came purely to watch the fun, there were also people who knew the contestants a little and tried to analyze the game.
"Could it be the original goal of the inverted space yesterday..."
"Contestant Lin Lin did say that Little Cloud Dog is not her main player."
"I guess it's a little skeleton..."
"? Little Skeleton"
"? What?"
"What's a little skeleton?"
"Changning No. 1 Middle School alumnus, I also guessed it was Little Skeleton..."
“The people in front of me are about to make the same expression as I did before, hahahaha!”
“…”
“…”
The heat of the live broadcast room did not affect the two people on the battlefield. Thunder Lion walked forward majestically, his eyes sharp, as if containing endless lightning.
"Ellen, I leave it to you." Mu Huoyue said softly.
The shadow under her feet suddenly expanded several times, and the waves of shadow surged and rolled, forming a person-high shape standing in front of her.
Surrounded by black fog, the entire battle space seemed to be a little gloomy. A white skeleton appeared in the black fog, and a cluster of faint blue flames ignited in its empty eye sockets.
