despair



despair

No matter how lively the atmosphere outside was, Mu Chuyue, who was in the secret place on the deserted island, could not feel it.

After Lin Lin and Lu Ai both left the stage regretfully, the remaining contestants from Li Shang High School were left to Wen Li and Yan Xi Miao to deal with.

The deadlock in the guava field was broken thanks to that earth-shattering fireball.

But for Wen Li, using Fire Meteor was more harmful than beneficial. Flame Attack Cat exhausted her strength, but she failed to gain any points, and instead gave the surviving contestants the opportunity to fight.

Mu Chuyue knew that this was Wen Li's reward for the food. Although this girl looked reckless, she was very clear about the key points.

So she let the battles with the remaining three people be given to Wen Li so that she wouldn't have to fight in vain.

When all the battles were over, the losers were sent out of the secret realm and lost the qualification for the qualifying round, and the field formed by the guava flowers was almost dissipated.

That C-grade wood resource withered most of the time after the guava fruit disappeared, leaving no valuable parts.

The wild survival competition is still going on. Mu Huoyue is preparing to continue to the central area to investigate the situation according to the original plan.

After hearing her plan, Wen Li volunteered to go with her. She was strong enough to protect herself and got along well with Mu Liuyue, so she did not refuse.

The two walked towards the center and before they knew it, it was evening.

The secret realm is more dangerous at night. Even Mu Chuyue, who has a dark-type enhanced talent, would not choose to travel at night.

The two found a relatively safe area, stopped to set up camp, and waited until dawn the next day before continuing on their journey.

Wen Li had almost no knowledge of outdoor life and didn't know what to do. But when she saw Mu Liuyue setting up the tent, she ran around to help her, and the campsite was quickly set up.

White Fang, who had recovered his strength, lay on one side, looking at his beastmaster with a somewhat resentful look in his eyes, shaking his cloud-like tail.

“Woof…”

It was originally its job to run around and help Mu Huoyue, but now it has been snatched away by this newly appeared human.

Mu Liuyue smiled when she saw this, reached out to rub the little cloud dog's fluffy head, set up a simple stove, and prepared today's dinner.

With the help of Flame Attack Meow, lighting the fire and heating became easy. Mu Huoyue took out the picnic pots and other tableware from Ellen's shadow space.

Fortunately, she made sufficient preparations before leaving.

It was just a simple matter of stewing the ingredients with the portable seasoning packet. Wen Li ate with tears in her eyes and almost buried her face in the rice bowl like Bai Ya.

Since entering the secret realm, she has only eaten energy cubes whose taste is really hard to describe. She has been hungry for a long time. Now she can eat a bowl of delicious hot soup. There is nothing happier than this!

Going with Hiiragi is indeed the right decision!

"Meow..." Yan Xi Miao looked at his own beastmaster, then at the white-haired puppy that was eating voraciously beside him, and meowed helplessly.

Wen Li ate two large bowls in one breath, sighed with satisfaction, and turned to look at Mu Liuyue.

"Speaking of which, Hiiragi Tsuki, doesn't your other contracted pet need to eat?"

Wen Li asked casually, then realized that it was not a good idea to directly ask for information about a competitor's pet, so she waved her hand, "If it's not convenient to answer, forget it!"

"Well... he has another way of absorbing energy." Mu Liuyue nodded, feeling the shadow under his feet gurgling, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Ellen in the shadows is her greatest guarantee in this secret place. The card soldiers will not show up easily unless it is necessary.

"Lin Lin said that the pet in the shadow is your main force. It turns out to be true..."

Wen Li also saw the surging shadows and was a little curious, "I thought it would be a little cloud dog. Hiiragi, why don't you have a little cloud dog that can evolve into a Sun Flame Wolf under a contract?"

"Given Mu Chuanqi's personality... he will definitely let you contract the little cloud dog with the highest potential, right?"

"The person who contracted the light-type cloud dog is my sister Mu Yixia." Mu Huoyue replied.

"Ah... Sorry, did I ask something I shouldn't again?" Wen Li covered her mouth, and it seemed that she had imagined a family ethics drama between the second generation of the royal family.

"Although I think you are more powerful, Hiiragi Tsuki, but if your beast taming talent is related to the dark system, it is indeed difficult to contract a light-related pet beast..."

"It's okay. This is a two-way choice between White Fang and I. There is no coercion or regret."

Mu Chuyue smiled. The little cloud dog beside her heard her name, raised its head and rubbed the palm of the beastmaster intimately.

"I just don't want to follow the path decided by my father. What kind of beastmaster I want to be and what kind of partner I contract are all decided by me."

Wen Li was stunned when she heard that, and her eyes reflecting the firelight became brighter.

Mu Yuyue fiddled with the fire and asked, "Where's Wen Li? Why isn't there a contracted ember sparrow?"

The Cinder Fire Bird is the original form of the advanced imperial race, the Red Flame Bird. It is even rarer than the light-type Little Cloud Dog. It is a special pet that only Dayan possesses, and is inextricably linked to Dayan's patron saint, the Sun Phoenix.

Wen Li's family is an ancient shaman priest of the Sun Phoenix. After entering the modern era, the Wen family began to get involved in the field of animal taming performances in order to inherit and promote the sacrificial dance that has been passed down from ancient times.

Wen Li's mother is a famous beast taming performer, and she has an older sister who is a popular idol in the entertainment industry. She can be said to have single-handedly brought about the high popularity of the Red Flame Bird clan among the younger generation.

The reason why the belief in the Sun Phoenix has continued to this day is also due to the efforts of the shaman priests to adapt to the times.

Wen Li awakened and became a beastmaster at the age of sixteen. She is an excellent descendant of the witch priest in terms of both talent and appearance. Mu Liuyue was a little surprised when she saw that her partner was Flame Ximiao.

"As for me... in the final analysis, it's because I can't get along with the Cinder Sparrow." Wen Li scratched his hair and sighed softly.

"It is very difficult to breed red flame birds. My family's ember sparrows are basically raised one-on-one according to the number of people. There is no room for choice at all."

"That Cinder Sparrow has a noble character and an arrogant temper... To put it simply, it is extremely picky."

"I am asked to serve it like an ascetic, to examine it every morning and evening, to drink only the morning dew, to comb every feather on its body with flames every day, and to avoid any dirt on it..."

"These exaggerated habits that sound like the plot of a novel are just the daily grind between me and that guy before the contract!"

As if recalling some painful past events, Wen Li spoke faster: "Don't even expect it to fight. If it is hit by the opponent's special move and the luster of its feathers is damaged, I will be scolded for three days. That guy likes to show off his charm on the stage and accept the flattery and love of all the audience."

"…But I like fighting. Compared to the exquisite and beautiful puppets on the stage, it is still more joyful to defeat the opponent and win the game with my partner!"

Wen Li looked at the Flame Strike Meow beside her, and recalled the nightmare-like witch ritual training...

After all, her Ah Miao is the best!

"So, you refuse to make a contract with the Cinder Sparrow?" Mu Liuyue smiled.

Wen Li's lively personality is hard to take care of herself, so it's a bit difficult to ask her to take good care of the pet.

"When my aunt's child awakens, the Cinder Fire Sparrow will find a beastmaster who is more suitable than me..."

Wen Li lowered her eyes and continued, "Besides, the way to pass on the sacrificial dance does not have to be limited to the stage, right? When I win the national competition, or even stand on the battlefield of the world competition, I can also convey the power of fire to the world!"

The beautiful girl clenched her fists and raised her head. There seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes, full of vitality.

She has already found the path to her dreams.

Mu Huoyue smiled, she really liked Wen Li's eyes.

The two continued chatting and before they knew it, it was already late at night.

When the time on the bracelet jumped to zero, a recording terminal with small wings flew in front of the two people and displayed the ranking for the second day.

Compared to yesterday, today's ranking has undergone a major change. Among the top ten in the standings, only Fang Xuyang from Shengshuitan Middle School and Chen Jiashu from Changning No. 1 Beast Taming High School are still on the list.

After defeating two opponents ranked in the top ten in succession, Mu Huoyue now has a score of 2388, ranking third.

The second person in front is Lin Fei, whose ranking has also improved significantly, and the first person is Fang Xuyang, who was ranked second yesterday.

Ranked fourth is Han Ruoyun, the heir to a blacksmith family from Xizhou.

The fifth is Xu Chenglu, a family from Yunzhou that breeds red-bellied turtles.

Wen Li's ranking also rose a lot, reaching eighth place.

The ninth person below her is also an acquaintance of Mu Huiyue - Mu Yixia.

After the first day of hiding their strengths and understanding the situation, the contestants began to work hard to improve their rankings.

Mu Liuyue looked at the mountains in the distance at night, hoping to find clues about the master of the secret realm tomorrow.

At the same time, somewhere on the deserted island, a battle without any suspense was taking place.

"Sui Dai Cai Yuan, supernatural power."

C-level spiritual attack skill: supernatural power. The wings of Suidai Caiyuan leaked scarlet spiritual power, surrounding the giant crocodile on the battlefield.

The steel-type giant crocodile has excellent defense, but it is difficult to resist mental attacks. The injuries accumulated in the early stage reached the limit after being hit by this magical power. The huge steel-skinned crocodile fell down with a bang, stirring up a lot of dust.

The recording terminal showed that the winner of this battle was Sui Dai Cai Yuan, a victory for the beastmaster Lin Fei.

"Damn it..." Luo Song gritted his teeth and raised his head.

The young man opposite was still smiling slightly, as if he never took this battle to heart.

It was with this expression that he defeated all the contestants he met along the way and rose to the second place.

It was all their bad luck that they had to meet the killer named Lin at this time.

With an unwilling look on his face, Luo Song could only accept his failure and was teleported away from the secret deserted island.

The only people left in the forest were Lin Fei, who had just finished a battle, and Mu Yixia, who was traveling with Luo Song.

"You are so ruthless to your classmates, Lord Lin." Mu Yixia secretly took a step back and summoned his contracted pet.

Misha, a light-type cloud dog, appeared in front of her, baring his fangs at Lin Fei and Sui Dai Cai Yuan, and making a threatening growl from his throat.

But Mu Yixia knew that this was just self-consolation. Once Lin Fei proposed a challenge, she would immediately lose her qualification for the competition.

"You don't seem to care much about your failed companions." Lin Fei looked meaningfully in the direction where Luo Song left.

Mu Yixia snorted in her heart. He was just a colleague she met by chance. She just didn't expect that Luo Song, whose ranking had improved to 18th place, couldn't even last two rounds against Lin Fei.

In comparison, Lin Fei's battles in school seemed like he was deliberately letting his opponent win, prolonging the game time and giving his opponent more room to show off.

How far has he progressed?

Mu Yixia clenched her fists. For the first time, she felt the pressure of being on the verge of despair from someone other than Mu Chuyue.

Is there any other way to delay this killer?

Mu Yixia's brain was working frantically. She must not be eliminated before the battle with Mu Huiyue!

Lin Fei did not go any further, nor did he propose a fight. He just looked at Mu Yixia with interest.

Facing the desperate situation of being eliminated alone, Mu Yixia lost her usual gentle mask, her eyes became fierce, with some kind of crazy and strong obsession hidden deep inside.

She looked more like Mu Chuyue, very much like her. Even standing so close, Lin Fei could hardly tell who she was.

Is it her or Mu Liuyue?

It doesn't matter who it is, the matter itself is interesting enough and worth his time to take a gamble.

"Your goal is to surpass Mu Chuyue, right?" Lin Fei said.

Mu Yixia looked at him warily and did not answer.

"Since we are from the same school, I will give you a piece of advice."

"During the assessment period, try to stay away from the central area of ​​the island."

Lin Fei smiled slightly, put Suidai Caiyuan back into the Beast Taming Space, put his hands in the pockets of his sportswear, turned around and walked away under Mu Yixia's surprised gaze.
