Zhou Lei painstakingly collected all the spirit crystals and climbed onto the Iron Claw Bear's furnace-like back.
Qin Xiao then made another wooden fan and handed it to him.
"I miscalculated. Next time I'll definitely contract an ice-type beast!"
Zhou Lei's eyes lit up, and he took the wooden fan. "Forget it, Brother Xiao. You might as well consider bringing a psionic fan next time you enter a secret realm like this. That would be more reliable."
"These tamed beasts aren't so easy to find. Tamed beasts with good attributes aren't cheap, and there aren't many options."
Qin Xiao glanced at him, and as they walked, Qin Xiao asked with a smile.
"Lei Zi, what kind of beast are you planning to contract next?"
"Hey, my family emptied their savings to get me this green Iron Claw Bear. I need to figure out how to support myself first."
Besides, reaching the Silver rank is still a long way off; that would be during university, or even after graduation. If I could get into Beast Taming University...
"I'll find a powerful organization that's willing to hire me, work hard for a few years, earn some money, and then we'll see."
Qin Xiao pondered, "This is how ordinary commoner beast tamers live."
If he didn't have a god-level template, given his talent, he would probably be even worse.
As for Zhou Lei, he didn't say much. This kid had no idea that he had latched onto such a powerful patron.
"Come on, everything will be alright. Just call me Brother Xiao, and I'll definitely help you soar to new heights!"
As they spoke, Ilya pushed open the stone door, and the two entered the next room.
This room is clearly larger than the one in front.
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally arrived at the front-central section.
In a room roughly the size of a basketball court, there was only one huge spider lying alone in the center.
Its body is covered with yellowish-brown mane, which looks like steel wires. Even when curled up, it is more than a meter tall.
The dozens of compound eyes on the head were dark, reflecting the figures of the two people and their beast.
The spider stood up, its eight long legs extended, instantly reaching a height of over three meters.
"Holy crap! It's already Silver Rank! Xiao-ge, watch out!!"
Zhou Lei's expression was solemn. This was the Silver Rank, a whole rank higher than him.
Qin Xiao's appraisal was completed.
Flame Spider, Green Talent, Silver One-Star, Skill: Flame Silk
Just as Qin Xiao was about to speak, the spider lifted its rear end, and a large, dark red mass flew over.
From a distance, it looks like a ball of charcoal, but upon closer inspection, it suddenly splits apart to form a large net.
Ilya's eyes widened, and she conjured a ball of lightning in her hand before throwing it towards the net.
Although Ilya's skill is Wind and Thunder Infusion, which has higher damage when attached to a weapon, her level is still what it is.
The lightning bolt struck the net, disrupting its flight path and quickly destroying it.
At the same time, Ilya also started to move.
Bai Ling perched on Ilya's head, like an exquisite fox fur vest.
Bai Ling: ?
A ball of foxfire condensed, requiring no control from Qin Xiao.
Bai Ling directly controlled the foxfire to shoot towards the spider, burning it straight through its head, like a red-hot iron block falling onto ice.
One of the advantages of highly intelligent beast tamers is that they don't need a beast tamer to control them; they will naturally know how to attack, or even cooperate.
The spider died as expected, and a strange, burnt smell wafted over.
Zhou Lei exclaimed "666! Xiao Ge is awesome!" from behind.
He happily dismounted from the Iron Claw Bear, ran up from the corner, and started cutting with a sharp knife.
They quickly found a spirit crystal from the half-burnt head.
"Wow, Brother Xiao is awesome! This spirit crystal even has a skill!"
Zhou Lei threw the bead directly at Qin Xiao.
He gave all the spirit crystals he found along the way to Qin Xiao without mentioning them once.
Qin Xiao looked at the bead; it was a silver-tier fire-type skill bead with a green-level skill rating: Flame Silk.
These specially limited skill beads have had their value greatly reduced.
"Lei Zi, you didn't start that live stream, did you?"
Zhou Lei was climbing onto the Iron Claw Bear when he heard this and was taken aback. "No, apart from collecting information and recording points, I kept everything in my pocket. You didn't say you were going to start a live stream, did you?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "Okay, that's good. The things we're about to do aren't really suitable for live streaming."
Zhou Lei asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, what mischief are you planning now?"
"Hey kid, how dare you talk like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Zhou Lei wiped his sweat and pursed his lips.
"Brother Xiao, we're like brothers, I know you're up to no good the moment you smirk!"
Holy crap, the original owner of this body was like this too?
Qin Xiao exclaimed that it was a coincidence.
"Never mind that, let's go to the next room. Let's hurry, before they get to the central region so quickly."
As Qin Xiao spoke, Ilya understood and moved forward. Qin Xiao asked Bai Ling in his heart.
"Ling'er, it's time for your illusion charm skill to come into play."
Bai Ling, who was on Ilya's head, instinctively jumped back onto Qin Xiao's head upon hearing this.
"You stinky master, what do you want to do?"
"Hehe, I'll give Gu Hongfei some points so you can control more alien beasts later."
Let them all move around to both sides. If they find Gu Hongfei, kill him!
By the way, these strange beasts should be able to recognize people, right?
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, "It should be possible, I have that much wisdom, but we don't have a photo of Gu Hongfei."
"You underestimate me. I was prepared all along!"
As Qin Xiao spoke, he projected a photo of Gu Hongfei onto his bracelet, and it turned out to be a photo of Gu Hongfei.
"Master, you're so naughty! I love it!"
"hey-hey!"
The man and the fox chuckled.
Zhou Lei watched suspiciously from behind, wondering why he felt that his boss's smile was rather sly.
On the other side, Gu Hongfei, along with Su Wanqiu and two henchmen, were cautiously walking around the room.
"Hongfei, let me wipe your sweat."
Su Wanqiu solicitously took out a tissue to wipe Gu Hongfei's sweat.
Gu Hongfei rode on the back of the Dragon Scale Flame Lion, enduring the lion's extremely high body temperature.
The Flame Lion, on the other hand, looked quite pleased with itself.
Gu Hongfei suddenly frowned.
He reached out and grasped Su Wanqiu's hand. "Wait, how much paper did you bring?"
Su Wanqiu was taken aback. "Huh? I only brought this one pack of tissues."
He turned to look at his two subordinates.
At this moment, the two henchmen fanned themselves with their hands, their chests and backs exposed, walking behind the lion like dead dogs.
Their respective tamed beasts followed listlessly behind them.
An armored bull and an iron-feathered eagle, one attacking and one defending, were both rendered listless by the high temperature.
"Did you two bring any paper with you?"
Both of them were taken aback. "We did bring it, but we ran out of it just now to wipe our sweat."
Gu Hongfei's expression was grim.
"What's wrong, Hongfei?"
Have you ever thought about what you do when you run out of toilet paper?
These words startled everyone.
Su Wanqiu, in particular, looked extremely embarrassed. How awkward it would be to pick at it with her hands!
"How about we kill the beast later and skin it?"
The thought of those spiders, lizards, and other strange beasts with their bony skeletons and skin covered in steel bristles sent a chill down my spine.
Gu Hongfei's expression was grim.
"Forget about that, did you scatter the powder from the big-eyed butterfly that I told you to put down?"
The two henchmen nodded hastily, trying not to think about the gruesome scene of wiping their butts with sandpaper.
Hearing this, Gu Hongfei finally nodded in satisfaction.
"Hongfei, what's the point of you sprinkling this powder?"
Gu Hongfei's face was sinister.
"This big-eyed butterfly powder has a special effect: after being inhaled, the beasts will become dependent on it."
When you spray the pheromones of the Great Eye Butterfly onto your opponent, they will frantically attack and bite you.
The more strange beasts that have followed us on this journey, the more gruesome Qin Xiao's death will be when we encounter him!
Although she didn't know how he found Qin Xiao, Su Wanqiu wisely refrained from asking further questions.
As if recalling that scene, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
After all, there are still loans to repay. Even though the shop belongs to someone else, as long as that person is dead, it wouldn't be a problem to use it for a while, right?
If Qin Xiao were here, he would definitely be moved.
What's this?
This is the mutual appreciation between men!
This is clearly a classic two-way race where you want my life and I want yours to die!
