Although the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird are both flying beasts, due to their different racial personalities, their attributes are the opposing fire and ice elements.
Therefore, as one of the highest-level eighth-order exotic beasts in this five-star secret realm, both sides have always regarded each other as their mortal enemy.
The two of them have been fighting in this secret tundra for decades, and every fight ends in a draw and a quarrel. The battle continues the following year!
This year, the Ice Mandarin Bird and the Flying Lion Mastiff met and fought as usual.
Fight from the sky to the forest, and then from the forest to the sky...
this time.
And when both of them attacked each other's throat!
“Clatter—”
Two sounds, like chains scratching through the branches of the forest, suddenly broke through the air.
Before the Ice Mandarin Bird and the Flying Lion Mastiff could react, their necks suddenly felt tight, their bodies flew backwards, and the blood rushed upwards. Their vision went black at the same time, and their bodies turned upside down. They were caught by the ruthless cat's tail around the neck and slammed to the ground!
“Bang, bang, bang!——”
"Bang bang bang bang!——"
The Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird, two eighth-tier beasts, suddenly became puppets in Qiuqiu's hands. He strangled them with his cat-like tails, repeatedly slamming them to the ground! The smooth ground was instantly dented. The Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird's heads and bodies were struck so hard that their eyes went black. Even their screams were strangled in their throats, preventing them from uttering a single sound.
But Qiuqiu was a spiritual beast, and it used invisible spiritual chains to tightly bind the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird, leaving these two originally tall and mighty beasts, about thirty or forty meters tall, without any power to resist at all. Before any ice or fire skills could break through their throats, they were ruthlessly suppressed by Qiuqiu's spiritual power.
Qiuqiu's cat pupils turned red as it looked at them as if it was looking at the murderer of its father. Its cold eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If Qiuqiu hadn't been unwilling to let his enemy die quickly at this moment, he would even have wanted to use his mental power to directly wipe out the consciousness of the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird!
…
“Boom boom boom—”
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Countless birds in the forest were frightened by the noise of the battle between the two high-level beasts and ran around in panic. Hundreds of low-level beasts flew away from the center of the battlefield as if they were escaping for their lives.
Deep in the dense forest, the sound of the battle between the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird, two eighth-level exotic beasts, suddenly spread in all directions from near to far, along with the breeze in the forest!
But.
There were two other groups of people who were different from these low-level monsters fleeing outside.
One wave came from the east, with Chinese candidates wearing red and yellow armbands on their arms... the boy in the baseball cap and the young man in the black windbreaker, among others.
They each sat on their main battle pet... the roaring, galloping seventh-level Rifttooth Wolf at full speed, the eighth-level Hellfire Horse with a single horn on its forehead and a neck covered with dense black scales and barbs, and each high-level contracted beast carried its own beastmaster and rushed towards the center of the battle at the fastest speed.
The other group came from the west. They were candidates from Country L, wearing red and blue armbands and red and black uniforms.
This group of candidates from Country L also sat on their respective main battle pets and rushed to the center of the battle at the fastest speed.
Both sides saw each other almost at the same time!
The young man in the black windbreaker and the boy in the baseball cap had stern expressions on their faces, and their clothes were stained with blood. It was obvious that from yesterday afternoon until now, the young man in the black windbreaker and others had experienced one or several fierce battles.
And on the opposite side.
The candidates from Country L, who also rode on their contracted beasts and traveled dozens of miles, were no pushovers either.
The contracted beasts under these people were full of rich blood energy. Many of the contracted beasts had faint traces of dark brown dried blood on their fur, which showed that they had obviously experienced many battles before.
When the two sides met, they each found that the other was not a pushover.
The young man in the black windbreaker and the leading candidate from Country L's team subconsciously looked at each other from a distance of about a hundred meters.
"Fuck! I didn't expect we'd run into candidates from Country L here."
"It seems they are also planning to pick up the bargain..."
Watching the faint flashes of red and white high-level exotic beasts amidst the treetops not far away due to the battle, the boy in the baseball cap poked his cap brim and looked across at the group of L Country students wearing red and black uniforms. He said coldly, "Yesterday, when the Six Nations Secret Realm Assessment Tournament just started, I saw quite a few L Country students wearing these red and black uniforms... The uniforms are nice, but... no matter how nice they are, they're just uniforms... In a place with lush greenery like this, anyone who dares to wear a uniform with such a striking color is either showing off or stupid."
"You still have the mood to complain about whether other people's clothes are good-looking. It seems that the battle with those high-level monsters last night made you feel too relaxed." The young man in the black windbreaker complained about his companions' unreliability, but in fact, his eyes were looking at the team of examinees from Country L opposite with extreme vigilance.
The two sides were currently about 500 meters away from the two battling eighth-level beasts, which seemed quite far away...
However, an eighth-level alien beast is as much as thirty or forty meters tall. For a high-level contracted beast, a distance of five hundred meters is nothing.
In this situation, if more than a dozen people released their contracted beasts at the same time to engage in a melee...
The young man in the black windbreaker was not sure whether he and his group could snatch the other party away, but it was obviously impossible for them to give up the two eighth-level beasts.
It is a five-star secret realm, not a six-star secret realm. The eighth-level exotic beasts are already the highest-level exotic beasts in the five-star secret realm, and their number is not large.
From yesterday to today, this is the first time that their task force has found an eighth-level monster since gathering.
Of the monsters we found previously... the highest level was only the sixth level of the seventh level. After killing them, the maximum points we could earn were only around 600, and we had to share them equally with our teammates...
In this case, the more than 3,000 points that can be obtained after killing an 8th-level monster is simply a huge sum of money!
You should know that in another task, among the three-color balls, the red ball that can be exchanged for the highest score is only 100 points.
Therefore, the key to this six-nation secret realm assessment competition is to see who can hunt the most high-level exotic beasts and defeat the most players from hostile countries.
The young man in the black windbreaker narrowed his eyes slightly and licked the ceiling on his palate with his tongue. He thought for a moment, stared at the equally eager candidate from Country L across from him, and said calmly, "We need to be careful later. We must try our best to grab the points from these two eighth-tier beasts... But if the other party has more than two ninth-tier beasts, then we must retreat immediately! We must not let them defeat us and lose points!"
As students in the university group of the National Talent Training Camp, one of the group, the young man in the black windbreaker and the guy in the baseball cap, inherited a legacy from their ancestors and possessed two ninth-tier contracted beasts. One of them, a ninth-tier Wind Howling Fox, was contracted by the young man in the black windbreaker with great difficulty last month. Although he had spent a large sum of money on various rare treasures to restore the ninth-tier Wind Howling Fox to its peak strength... as a newly contracted ninth-tier beast, the young man in the black windbreaker and the Wind Howling Fox were still not very compatible...
In this kind of battle between beastmasters, the Wind Howling Fox is very likely to disobey orders.
"We have two ninth-tier contracted beasts... Ninth-tier contracted beasts are the ultimate in a five-star secret realm... As long as we're not besieged by ninth-tier beasts contracted by other beastmasters, we're practically invincible." The young man in the black windbreaker looked at his companions and said, "I'll release the ninth-tier beasts to stop them later. You guys deal with the two Flying Lion Mastiffs and the Ice Mandarin Birds as quickly as possible..."
The young man in the black windbreaker whispered the team's battle plan. His muscles were tensed, and he mobilized his mental strength, just about to summon several high-level contracted beasts in the beast-controlling space.
suddenly--!
Bang bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
A series of sounds and vibrations like artillery shells hitting the ground suddenly came from the location where the two eighth-level monsters were fighting nearby.
"Depend on!"
The young man in the black windbreaker turned his head subconsciously and cursed inwardly.
The candidate from Country L, who also noticed the commotion, also had a grim expression on his face.
Could it be that there are other candidates rushing over from the other side?
A moment.
This was almost the same thought among the dozen or so people present.
Both sides immediately stopped the confrontation and commanded the contracted beasts under them to quickly lead them to the location of the battle.
Just a few dozen breaths.
The young man in the black windbreaker and others, as well as the candidates from Country L, arrived at the battle site almost at the same time.
The two Ice Mandarin Birds and Flying Lion Mastiffs that were originally fighting each other were now like two broken dolls. They were being smashed around madly by an oversized white nine-tailed cat that was a hundred meters tall and used its tail as a chain to drag the two eighth-level monsters.
The nine-tailed cat smashed the objects and meowed angrily.
There were three other high-level alien beasts next to them, whose eyes were red, tears were streaming down their cheeks, and they were crying loudly.
——A ghost dragon that is also hundreds of meters long, a high-level plant-like exotic beast with hundreds of long brown vines, and a high-level Void Rabbit that is particularly familiar to the young man in the black windbreaker and others.
Cat of Nine Tails: "Meow meow meow!"
Bang bang bang bang!
Nine-tailed cat: "Meow meow meow meow!"
Bang bang bang bang!
The young man in the black windbreaker and others: "..."
Candidates from Country L: “…”
As beastmasters, they often need to keep their eyes and ears open, and pay attention to the surrounding environment and the situation of fighting against strange beasts at all times.
The young man in the black windbreaker, the boy in the baseball cap, and the others recognized them almost immediately... the nine-tailed cat that was meowing and madly beating up two eighth-level beasts, and the other three beasts... These four beasts were clearly the contracted beasts of a student named Song Yu who had been very popular in their China Talent Training Camp some time ago.
Especially at the seventh-level professional beastmaster assessment field, the young man in the black windbreaker and the boy in the baseball cap had seen Song Yu himself and Youyou and the others.
The young man in the black windbreaker subconsciously glanced at each other, feeling something was amiss, and instinctively scanned their surroundings...
In the distance, in a pit beneath a huge rock, a girl wearing an army green tracksuit and with disheveled hair and bloodstains lay sprawled in the pit...
Judging from the appearance, something probably happened, otherwise the other party's contracted beast wouldn't be so excited and sad.
Looking at the several contracted beasts in front of him with red eyes and crying loudly, and the corpse of the girl beside them.
The young man in the black windbreaker and others couldn't help but sigh subconsciously.
really.
In this kind of six-nation secret realm assessment competition, even a genius can hardly escape the fate's tricks.
Being able to easily beat up two eighth-level alien beasts, this nine-tailed snow spirit cat must have evolved to the ninth level. The levels of Song Yu's other alien beasts are obviously more powerful than those they had seen in the professional beastmaster assessment field.
In a group of exotic beasts, size does not necessarily represent strength, but for the same exotic beast, the larger the size and the higher the level, the stronger the strength.
Now these strange beasts are obviously several times larger than the ones they saw at the beginning.
"There's a corpse of a Chinese candidate over there. These beasts are probably their contracted beasts." The L-country candidate narrowed his eyes and talked to his teammates. He pointed in the direction of Song Yu and said, "This candidate is dead now, so her contracted beast has become a wild beast. We can hunt it at will to earn points..."
The L Country candidate stared intently at Qiuqiu, his voice low but unable to conceal his excitement as he spoke, "This nine-tailed cat is definitely a ninth-tier beast. Calculating five times the points... its current level will earn our team at least 15,000 points."
The candidate swallowed subconsciously and looked at Qiuqiu more unscrupulously.
The other candidates from Country L around them also nodded, thinking that their companions' idea was quite good.
In the past, in every Six Kingdoms Secret Realm Assessment Tournament, if two candidates killed each other's contracted beast during the battle, no points would be awarded.
But if a candidate unexpectedly died in the examination hall, then the other party's contracted beast would become a wild beast...
In this situation, the strength of a beast that had just suffered a backlash from its contract had already been greatly reduced, and it was simply not on the level of other beasts of the same level. Furthermore, as wild beasts, they could also provide a large amount of points for the candidates... Therefore, many candidates enjoyed hunting these newly terminated beasts.
“Roar!——”
Several candidates from Country L confirmed their targets and immediately released all their contracted beasts, preparing to attack the six beasts including the Flying Lion Mastiff, the Ice Mandarin Bird, and the Ball.
The young man in the black windbreaker and others who saw this scene were slightly stunned, then their faces turned ugly and they also summoned their contracted beasts.
Damn it! These guys are so shameless! Do they have any bottom line?
Didn’t you see that his contractor died not long ago?
How shameless of them to treat them as a group of ordinary wild beasts that can be hunted?
Normally, that would be fine, but in this situation where a classmate died in battle and the contracted beast avenged its master... they simply couldn't bear to see these loyal contracted beasts die here! Most importantly, the young man in the black windbreaker and the others didn't want their classmates from the same training camp to die in this five-star secret realm without even a corpse left behind.
“Ahhh!——”
Two ninth-order beasts, seven eighth-order beasts and some sixth-order and fifth-order beasts appeared at the same time, confronting a large group of contracted beasts summoned by the candidates from Country L.
Just like the young man in the black windbreaker and the others...
This group of candidates from Country L also only had two ninth-order alien beasts, eight eighth-order alien beasts, and a group of sixth-order and fifth-order alien beasts that currently seemed to be only able to serve as auxiliary.
A moment.
The two sides once again entered a tense confrontation!
…
The noise of fighting all around was too loud.
Even when Song Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep, he felt uneasy. He even felt that he was in a dream. He seemed to hear the cry of Qiuqiu and the wailing of the two eighth-level beasts.
He covered his head which felt heavy and painful after being hit by a rock.
Song Yu forced himself to raise his head and secretly opened his eyes to check the surrounding situation.
But just this one glance...
The people of Song and Yu were dumbfounded!
Only you can recognize your own contracted beast. Even if the balls and circles continue to evolve, Song Yu will not be able to mistake his contracted beast.
The Snow Cat, which originally had only seven tails last night, has now evolved into a huge monster. The nine cat tails are swinging up and down like nine chains, majestic and domineering. They slap down casually... A strong gust of wind mixed with a low sound of air explosion, along with the mountain breeze in the forest, reached Song Yu's ears.
He looked at the three Youyous who were crying and burping continuously, and Qiuqiu who was beating up the two eighth-level beasts...
Song Yu covered his head and sat up, wiping his dirty cheek with his sleeve. Song Yu's sleeve was instantly stained with a large blood stain.
She originally just wanted to close her eyes and take a nap, and she didn't want to really fall asleep.
But perhaps because her head was hit by a stone and she bled too much after the impact, Song Yu just closed her eyes and fell asleep not long after... After she fell asleep, she didn't even hear any other sounds around her.
If it weren't for Qiuqiu just now smashing two eighth-level monsters to the ground with such loud noise, she might still be asleep.
only……
Before Song Yu could stand up, she always felt like something was wrong.
She always felt that there seemed to be something around her, which she had just ignored in her confused mind.
Well……
And that group of things seemed to be right next to them...
Generally, in wilderness forests or secret forests, it is easy to encounter some wild animals hiding in the bushes.
Many of these wild beasts will attack beastmasters who intrude upon their territory...
"Um?"
Song Yu silently turned her head, her gaze subconsciously falling on a large group of strange beasts that suddenly appeared nearby. She looked at the strange beasts, then at the two groups of examinees who were facing each other beside them...
Song Yu's brain slowed down sharply due to the pain, and it took him a long time to react.
ah……
It turned out that it wasn't a wild beast that was attacking her, but a group of contracted beasts belonging to the examinees...
Hmm? Hmm? ? Candidate?
Song Yu stood up with his head covered, and instantly woke up. Even the pain in his brain seemed to subside a little due to the excitement at this moment.
Song Yu had not forgotten what the other candidates and the examiner had said yesterday - 'Candidates who defeat candidates from other countries can get half of their points.
Although everyone only has one chance, with so many people... she can't withstand all these reincarnation battles.
His alertness instantly increased, and Song Yu instinctively walked towards the direction where Qiuqiu Youyou was.
In Song Yu's heart... in the entire wilderness area and secret realm, nothing can compare to the sense of security that the four little ones, Qiuqiu and the others, can bring her.
Although she is a contractor, Song Yu believes that any one of the Qiuqius can beat ten thousand of her.
However……
Just like that, sitting and standing... The young man in the black windbreaker and the group of candidates from Country L, who were originally staring at each other with eager eyes and about to start a fight, suddenly widened their eyes and turned to look at Song Yu!
The four little ones who were crying loudly beside her also stopped what they were doing and looked at her with wide eyes.
Song Yu is only 1.7 meters tall... Compared to Qiuqiu, who is over 100 meters tall, she looks like a peanut dropped on the ground, insignificant.
But Qiuqiu, who had just been furiously beating the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird, suddenly stopped his movements! The huge white nine-tailed cat opened its big eyes and looked down in shock in the direction of Song Yu.
Qiuqiu's body shrank instantly, and he rushed towards Song Yu at lightning speed!
Ignoring the dust and blood on Song Yu's body, the nine-tailed snow cat pounced on Song Yu fiercely.
It has a body like a cheetah, not particularly tall, but when it stands on its two hind legs, it is big enough for it to bury its head and two front paws between Song Yu's neck.
"Meow meow meow~!!" Xiao Yu, you scared me to death~!!
"Meow! Wow, wow, wow..." I thought you were dead! Wow, wow, wow...
"Meow meow meow..." Xiao Yu, you're not dead. That's so great. Don't ever scare me like this again. Wuuuuuuu~
After all, it is just a kitten that is only three years old from birth to now.
Even though Qiuqiu is hundreds of meters tall and has evolved to the ninth level, compared to high-level alien beasts that have a lifespan of hundreds of years, Qiuqiu is like a newborn baby... Even though as a spiritual alien beast, Qiuqiu is smarter and more mature than ordinary alien beasts, the experience of alien beasts still needs to increase with age.
so……
Today, Qiuqiu was really scared by Song Yu.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry..."
At the same time, holding the other three little ones who had shrunk and pounced on him, Song Yu looked at the four little guys with red eyes and crying loudly. He subconsciously touched the wound on his forehead that was still bleeding, and immediately apologized to them with great guilt.
Speaking of which...
If she hadn't always wanted to take a walk outside the cave today, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
However……
The warm exchange between the beastmaster and the contracted beast only lasted about a minute.
The interaction between Song Yu and the four little ones, Qiuqiu, was immediately awakened by the Flying Lion Mastiff and the Ice Mandarin Bird next to them, as well as the young man in the black windbreaker and others on the other side, as well as the candidates from Country L.
"I'm telling you... We want those two eighth-level beasts. Do you have any objections?"
A candidate from Country L looked at the now disheveled Song Yu and spoke bluntly. The arrogance between his brows, almost radiating from every strand of his hair, sizing Song Yu up with disdain. "In exchange," he said, "I can have our team's healing beasts treat you."
During the confrontation just now, the candidate from Country L also discovered that the young man in the black windbreaker and others were obviously candidates from the same country as Song Yu, and both of them had the same red and yellow armbands on their arms.
But according to his judgment, these two groups of people were obviously not from the same team.
With the girl on the opposite side injured and about to die, as long as the other party does not intervene in the battle, it is obvious that their team still has a chance to compete for the two eighth-level beasts.
All candidates in the Six Kingdoms Secret Realm Assessment Tournament know that preserving their own strength and lives is the most important thing.
If the candidate dies, not to mention the ranking in the examination competition, he may not even be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Anyone who is smart knows what to choose.
The candidate from Country L glanced coldly at the large group of strange beasts opposite him. What he was betting on now was that the young man in the black windbreaker and others on the opposite side did not have a contracted healing beast!
After all, among the large group of contracted beasts on the opposite side, none of them... looked like a healing type.
The candidate from Country L licked his palate, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and revealed a confident smile.
