Chapter 140: The Sudden Appearance of a Beast Soul Master
After Zhou Yan, several more people appeared soon. They were Xiao Yuan and Li Mu, the fourth-level beastmasters.
These people are of higher age and level in this training camp, and have learned some knowledge of runes to some extent.
But it was obvious that he was still a little inferior to Bai Qi and Lu Qing. There were obvious signs of injuries on his body, and it was obvious that he had made mistakes during the cracking process.
What surprised Bai Qi was that Gu Shan's speed of coming out was only a few minutes slower than Xiao Yuan and others.
This Gu Shan usually looks quiet, but he is actually very strong in every aspect. It seems that he is a person who likes to hide his shortcomings.
"You really left that secret room before me."
Seeing Bai Qi coming out before him, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, without any surprise, while Li Mu's expression became more and more solemn.
Lost again...
As time passed, more and more people left the cubic secret room, and each one was more embarrassed than the other. After an hour, those who were forced out of the secret room were basically no different from those who had just escaped.
And Baiqiu tea is one of them.
"Pfft...A-Cha, how did you end up like this?"
Seeing Bai Qiucha's disheveled face, without any of his usual elegance, Bai Qi couldn't help laughing out loud. He held back his laughter when he saw that Bai Qiucha was getting angry and embarrassed.
However, Zhou Yan didn't care about all that. After recognizing Bai Qiucha, he burst into laughter and didn't care at all about the strange looks from the people around him.
“Hahaha… Ah Cha, you have finally met this day, hahaha…”
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha fell silent, turned his head away and ignored everyone.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never lagged behind others in both practical combat and theory, but he has never spent too much time learning runes. Although he has spent some time studying them these days, it seems that he really has no talent in this area, and eventually ended up being forced to expel him.
It's not that he can't face failure. It's just that being laughed at by people like Bai Qi would be fine. However, being laughed at by Zhou Yan, a poor student, was really a big blow.
"But the time is up, why hasn't Instructor Luo announced the rules of the round yet?"
After everyone's deadline had expired, Xiao Yuan also discovered something unusual.
If Luo Xiang summoned them urgently in order to test their control over runes and to spur them on, then the effect has been achieved now and they should be teleported away.
Now keeping them in this space obviously means there are other arrangements.
But since no one spoke for such a long time, Xiao Yuan instinctively sensed a hint of uneasiness.
"You didn't run off again, did you forget where you were going?"
Zhou Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, then expressed his opinion, which surprisingly attracted a lot of people's approval.
Bai Qi looked around and said, "Probably not, but my intuition tells me that he will definitely do something."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of red suddenly appeared in the originally pure white space, and then quickly spread, dyeing the entire space red.
It came as expected.
Seeing the surrounding environment, Bai Qi thought to himself that it was as expected. Just as he was about to say something, a crack suddenly appeared on the red dome above his head, and strands of blood slowly seeped out from it.
Damn, after the other-dimensional killing array is a certain sword god domain?
"This feeling doesn't seem like a normal secret realm mechanism, but rather a beast soul master?"
Just when Bai Qi was complaining, Xiao Yuan and the others' faces changed, and the other beastmasters also noticed something strange and summoned their own pets.
"Beast Soul Master? No way..."
After hearing what Xiao Yuan and the others said, Bai Qi also became solemn.
Although there has been no chaos in the past twenty years, the Federation has never relaxed its vigilance against humanity's greatest enemy, the Ferocious Beast Tribe, and the Beast Soul Masters are the vanguard of the Ferocious Beast Tribe.
Beast soul masters were actually originally human beings , but unlike the humans living in the Federation, they were all abducted or raised by ferocious beasts.
As for the purpose, it is naturally to serve as nourishment for some higher races.
Similar to the contract between the federal beastmaster and his pet, some of the tribe's highly intelligent beasts will also plant parasitic contracts on some humans.
Through this parasitic contract, the ferocious beast can extract the soul essence of these humans to strengthen itself at any time. If the human who is under the contract cannot meet its needs, his soul will be directly devoured.
But correspondingly, as long as they can survive the cruel exploitation of this contract, the souls of these humans will be strengthened, and they will slowly move closer to ferocious beasts, becoming the beast soul masters mentioned by Xiao Yuan and others.
At the same time, because their souls have been assimilated by the ferocious beasts, these beast soul masters can also obtain some of the ferocious beasts' abilities, and can even use their mental power to condense the soul bodies of ferocious beasts to fight. It is said that this is also called martial souls.
However, as the coverage of the Luowang has expanded over the years, it should be difficult for beast soul masters to infiltrate the Federation, not to mention that this is the headquarters of the Beastmaster Association.
I always feel like it's Luo Xiang's doing again...
However, although Bai Qi had some doubts in his heart, he did not act rashly and summoned Alpha. At the same time as the students summoned their pets, the blood slowly gathered together and turned into the appearance of an evil ghost.
“Hehehe… I didn’t expect that just invading a secret realm would yield such a huge harvest. If I can capture these young human beast masters, Lord Blood Nightmare will definitely reward me handsomely!”
The evil ghost looked around, and when he saw nearly a hundred young beastmasters below, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he wished he could eat Bai Qi and others alive.
"Blood Nightmare Demon? Looks like he is really a beast soul master."
Upon hearing the evil ghost's words, Bai Qiucha's face suddenly changed, and he completely confirmed the source of the change.
As the son of a legend, he must know more about the Ferocious Beast Tribe than others, and this Blood Nightmare Demon is none other than a legendary undead creature in the Ferocious Beast Tribe.
"Are you sure? That's fine!"
Zhou Yan was not afraid at all when he heard that, and he directly entered the state of being possessed by the soul. Then, without waiting for Bai Qiucha and others to stop him, he rushed straight towards the evil ghost.
"What a tough girl, it's a pity that I'm not a physical body now, so I can't fight you."
The evil ghost smiled grimly, with no intention of avoiding Zhou Yan at all. He just let Zhou Yan pierce him with the gun, and Zhou Yan disappeared just like that.
"This guy is still so impulsive."
Xiao Yuan sighed mindlessly upon seeing this. He was about to remind others to be careful when a bloody gate suddenly appeared under their feet. The students were caught off guard and had no time to react, and fell in one after another.
"Alpha, protect me."
Looking at the bloody portal under his feet, Bai Qi immediately asked Alpha to return to his side to protect him, and then fell straight down. Xiao Yuan and the others seemed to understand that they could not attack this evil ghost, and made the same choice.
In an instant, only the bloody evil ghost remained in the originally bustling space.
“Hehehe…”
…
After falling for a while, Alpha finally landed with Bai Qi in his arms, and Bai Qi immediately summoned Husky and Gamma.
Since Bai Qiucha has already proven that it was the beast soul master who did this, he naturally had to make full preparations. Moreover, in such an unfamiliar place, relying on just one attacker would not be enough.
"Shukebeta, pay attention to your surroundings. Gamma, remember to protect me. Alpha, beat whoever you see later!"
Bai Qi gave instructions to the three pets, and then held Gama in his arms. The three pets did not hesitate, and they all cheered up and prepared for battle.
Crunch!
(Don't worry, boss. I won't let any enemy go .)
Woof woof!
(So, I can finally express my art freely?)
Click, click!
(I'll eat them all!)
Although this was the first time they faced a Beast Soul Master, they could sense from the state of their own Beast Tamer that this was completely different from the previous battles, so they were all extremely serious.
Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then began to check the surrounding situation.
The environment here is similar to the previous cubic secret room, also square, but the space is much larger, and the six sides are blood red, which is obviously the work of the bloody evil ghost.
"Are you planning to separate us and defeat us one by one? This seems a bit unnecessary."
Bai Qi frowned slightly, feeling more and more that this incident was a little bit abnormal. At this moment, a big hole suddenly appeared in the blood-colored wall, and a young man with sunken eye sockets and skinny body slowly walked out of it.
"A third-level beastmaster? You really look down on me."
There was a flash of dissatisfaction in the boy's eyes , and he shouted to Bai Qi again in his hoarse voice: "Hey, I suggest you surrender quickly, and I can make you suffer less."
"Is this a beast soul master? Apart from looking a little weak, he is no different from a normal human being."
Bai Qi looked the boy up and down curiously, but couldn't see anything unusual. A hint of disappointment appeared on his face that he could hardly hide.
I thought the beast soul master would be so ferocious and powerful, or full of demonic aura, but he turned out to be just a drug addict.
Fortunately, he was excited when he heard that beast soul masters could summon martial souls, but now he decided to give up because it might ruin his good looks.
"Am I being looked down upon?"
The young man obviously misunderstood Bai Qi's idea. He was already unhappy and even more murderous. With a thought, a dragon-shaped soul slowly emerged from his body.
"I wanted to give you a chance, but now it seems that you will just become food for my ghost dragon!"
The young man snorted coldly, and the ghost dragon behind him immediately flapped its wings, appeared silently behind Bai Qi, and bit Bai Qi.
Damn, a sneak attack!
Are all beast soul masters so unethical?
Seeing this, Bai Qi rolled over without any grace and narrowly avoided the ghost dragon's attack. Alpha appeared immediately and slashed at the ghost dragon with a sword.
"It's useless. Physical attacks can't harm the martial spirits of our beast soul masters."
The young man pursed his lips in disdain upon seeing this. He was about to teach Bai Qi a lesson when he suddenly heard a wail from the ghost dragon and a deep wound appeared on its mouth.
"That's all a martial spirit is? It's no different from an undead creature..."
