Beast Tamer: Carrying a small world of the end times with you

"You have this trick up your sleeve?"

Not only the people outside, but even the Bloodstained Saint, who had been compressing his muscles to the size of a rag doll and sitting on Qian Er's shoulder, was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't expect that, huh? This is my special skill."

Qian Er said with a gentle expression on his face, smiling. He had to admit, this young body was great. If he still had his old, almost thirty-year-old uncle body, he wouldn't be able to pretend to be so young. He could only play dumb, and the effect might not be as good then.

"…Brother Qian?"

But before Qian Er could move and start looking for opponents, a hesitant voice came from his ear.

He turned his head sharply and found Li Ziming standing behind him, staring straight at him with shock in his eyes.

He had just come in and saw this scene, and his young heart was greatly shocked.

"Keep your voice down, you…"

"That's so cool, Brother Qian! Can you teach me this?"

Qian Er was about to tell this guy to keep his voice down so he wouldn't scare the enemy away, but he didn't expect this guy to ask with shining eyes. Only then did Qian Er remember that Li Ziming in front of him was a scoundrel who could launch two sneak attacks in a row on the arena.

For this guy, as long as he could win, nothing else seemed to matter.

"…We'll talk about it after we get out of here. Cooperate with me here."

After a brief silence, Qian Er immediately said to Li Ziming. If he couldn't withdraw, he would go solo and kill everyone. But now that there was a way to withdraw, it wouldn't be easy. So he needed a target to attract other people's attention in the open, while he went into the shadows to prepare for sneak attacks.

Li Ziming was perfect for this role.

As the second place in the High School Competition and one of the most talented people of this generation in Yan Country, Li Ziming carried a lot of weight.

"What should I do?"

This guy was also a bad seed. After listening to Qian Er's words, he immediately understood Qian Er's idea and asked in a low voice with great interest.

"It's very simple. Now, the two of us are led by you, and I'm just a follower who got in because of you. Got it?"

Li Ziming nodded repeatedly, and the expression on his face changed immediately, a sense of confidence arising spontaneously.

"Let's go, let's go find our opponents and let those beasts see the power of humans."

Li Ziming said arrogantly, immediately getting into character.

"Good kid, you really have a trick or two up your sleeve."

Qian Er sighed and followed closely behind Li Ziming, obviously also getting into character.

Outside, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

"How come all the freshmen this year are so weird?"

Someone among the older students muttered to himself with a strange expression. Compared to those two freshmen, he felt like he was as pure as a little white flower.

Compared to people like them, wouldn't they, the older students, be eaten clean?

…

At this time, at different entrances to this secret realm.

"Brother, I heard that a genius like never before has emerged from the human side this time. What kind of person do you think can be called never before?"

In the entrance of a secluded forest, a crimson beetle wrapped in black mist used pheromones to ask a larger crimson beetle behind him.

In the place where these two beetles haunted, everything was silent. This was the reputation of the Soul Devourer, one of the twelve victors in the War of Ten Thousand Races.

"I don't know, and there's no need to know. No matter what kind of genius he is, he will eventually fall at my feet."

The larger crimson beetle's pheromones were full of arrogance.

And its confidence also came from its strength.

It was also a unique genius in the clan. At this age, it had already reached a terrifying level 29, only two levels away from being an elite. It was praised by the clan as the most likely mutant individual to break through the shackles of the race and take the Soul Devourer clan to the next level.

"Okay, the patriarch has opened the secret realm. Let's go in. I can't wait to use that human genius's head to sacrifice to our ancestors."

…

"Patriarch, why do those big clans have to drag us into their fights?"

In the dim underground, whispers could be heard endlessly, and one slightly louder voice seemed particularly out of place.

As soon as this was said, all the whispers stopped immediately. After a long silence, an old voice slowly sounded.

"Children, I'm sorry. It's all because we old things didn't win back then, so we ended up in this situation. Although humans are ferocious, their wisdom is beyond doubt. Their books once recorded a saying: 'Backwardness invites aggression.' We are now more backward than them, so we have to be beaten."

The slightly apologetic voice plunged the entire dim underground into silence.

"…I understand. What the ancestors didn't get in the beginning will be obtained by me."

After a moment of silence, a powerful voice echoed in the ground. In the underground where you couldn't see your fingers, two balls of fire seemed to light up.

…

At the same time, Qian Er, who was traveling with Li Ziming in the dense forest, also put down the pen in his hand under Li Ziming's weird gaze.

"It's not necessary to draw the map."

He tore off the paper in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Li Ziming's Torrent Crocodile's mouth, Qian Er said casually.

The Torrent Crocodile was the evolved form of his original Clear Water Crocodile. After a month of growth, Li Ziming's Beast Mastery level had also greatly improved.

[Torrent Crocodile]

[Attribute: Water, Fighting]

[Level: 16]

[Aptitude: Blue]

[HP Racial Value (Attribute): 65 (50)]

[Attack Racial Value (Attribute): 80 (36)]

[Defense Racial Value (Attribute): 80 (33)]

[Special Attack Racial Value (Attribute): 59 (24)]

[Special Defense Racial Value (Attribute): 63 (28)]

[Speed Racial Value (Attribute): 58 (26)]

[Racial Value Total: 405]

Unlike the two-meter-long Clear Water Crocodile before, the Torrent Crocodile stood up. That's right, it stood up like a person, its arms became longer and thicker, its tail became more powerful, and its height was at least two and a half meters by visual estimation. The cyan-blue scales all over its body were filled with a rough sense of power.

And the map that Qian Er had just drawn was seen using the Torrent Crocodile's skill.

It was a water-type change skill called Water Mirror. By sublimating water into water vapor to envelop the surroundings, it could be used to detect information and block the enemy's sight.

The reason why this skill was called Water Mirror was because the main body of the skill was a water source ring condensed in front of the Torrent Crocodile. The Beast Master could use this water source ring to observe the information of the surrounding area covered by water vapor.
