Volume 5: Taming the Beast Chapter 17: The Birth of Another Battle Pet (Part 1)
"It's settled, you must never catch such useless creatures as pets again!" Feiyin taught her elf friend earnestly as she embarked on the journey of helping Yan Zhen find a pet again. However, the way she lovingly held Tu Cha Cha in her arms really didn't make people feel the slightest bit of persuasiveness.
“Yeah, yeah…” Yan Zhen nodded repeatedly, and kept promising, “…I will never be so impulsive this time.”
To be honest, her expression of eyes lighting up and drooling at the sight of any animal makes it even less trustworthy.
"Roar..." As we were chatting, a violent roar suddenly came from the front. The constant search for powerful war pets made us extremely sensitive to the clues of all ferocious animals. We all quickened our pace and ran towards the direction where the sound came from.
The roar came from a gigantic lion, its eyes were as big as copper bells, its wide mouth was full of glaring fangs, its body was covered in silver-grey fur, like a layer of metal armor, indicating its unique identity - "Roaring Hunter Qiril", this was the name of this level 33 "violent" beast.
This huge lion was not wandering alone on the grassland. Opposite it stood a pitiful sheep. This sheep was probably just an adult. It was not very big and its fur was very fine and soft. The lush grass on the Gem Flower Plain provided a very favorable environment for its growth. It was chubby and fat, and looked stupid. But now, its right front leg was bleeding, and it was trembling and barely standing, staring at the lion in front of it with an innocent face, as if it was so scared that it didn't even know how to be afraid.
This lion is attacking sheep, which is quite unusual. We have encountered many wild animals, including some with violent tempers and bloodthirsty beasts, but they usually only attack those who invade their territory and are not hostile to other animals around them. There is no irreconcilable gap between pheasants and foxes, and there is no life-and-death hatred between civet cats and wild mice. In fact, when we accidentally step into their common territory, we may be attacked by them.
But this lion's behavior was quite unusual. There was a fire of hunger in his eyes, and his sharp and powerful claws kept rubbing on the ground, as if he could no longer bear to tear the sheep in front of him into pieces. His name was "Hunter", and I think this should have something to do with his abnormal behavior.
"Little Yanyan, look, look, look at its attributes!" We stood at a safe distance and watched the hunt between the two animals. At this time, Feiyin suddenly screamed and pointed ahead and shouted excitedly. I subconsciously looked at the attributes of the Roaring Hunter:
"Roaring Hunter Qiliel, level 30 (Berserk), attack power 23, defense power 21, health 972. Roar: 80% chance to weaken surrounding creatures for 20 seconds; heavy attack, stun enemies for 5 seconds; soul absorption: actively absorb soul power to speed up level increase..."
"Heh..." I gasped at the introduction of this beast. With such high-level attack and defense attributes, such strong vitality, and practical and powerful attack skills, even a skilled and well-equipped experienced warrior would find it difficult to gain an advantage from it in close combat. With a level advantage of four levels higher, I am confident that I can kill this beast alone, but I am afraid it will take some effort.
What's more, this "Soul Absorption" is a strange skill that I have never heard of. It seems that this beast is driven by the instinct of this skill to hunt weak wild animals in the Gem Flower Plain to increase its strength. I don't know what level of beast it should have been originally, but from the current scene, it seems that it has accumulated the current level of 30 after many hunts.
"Tame it!" I couldn't help but remind the wild geese loudly. You know, once such a ferocious beast is tamed, it means that our beast tamer friends will have a powerful helper comparable to professional fighters in battle, and can even face two enemies at once without losing the upper hand.
"Do we really have to do this?" Yan Zhen looked at us reluctantly, reluctant to move.
"Xiao Yanyan, remember that you promised me! Besides, it looks very handsome..." Fei Yin used threats and inducements.
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Zhen finally followed our advice and moved forward slowly. Xiange Yayi shouted loudly behind her, "Come on, Miss Yan Zhen, you must catch it back!"
The weak prey seemed to have made the Roaring Hunter Chiliel lose his spirit. Although he had been preparing for a long time by roaring and sharpening his claws, he was reluctant to give his prey a fatal blow. He waited until the geese came close to him, took out the whistle for taming the animals, and then he slowly walked to the side of the sheep and really started to kill.
Very good, the prey in front of him attracted the attention of the giant lion, so that he did not notice the approaching trainer at all. The geese have come to the distance where the trainer's whistle can be effective... Look, she put the whistle to her mouth... Oh, she has started to blow - the whistle makes a sound that we cannot hear. It seems that only wild animals with excellent hearing can hear the sound of the whistle and feel a kind of affection for the person who makes the sound.
"Roar..." Walking to the sheep, the hunter Qilier roared again, as if showing off his great strength. He didn't know that in a moment, he would become a tame livestock, just like the cute rabbit Cha Cha, obediently following our long-haired elf girl. Just when he raised his thick claws high, ready to give the sheep in front of him the final blow...
...The long-haired elf trainer had completed her taming work and took the whistle from her mouth...
…At the same time, an orange halo flashed on the spot, covering the huge beast—this familiar scene we had seen once before when Rabbit was tamed…
"Good, that's great!" Feiyin danced with joy. Xian Ge Yayi and I were also sincerely happy that the beautiful beast trainer had tamed such a powerful war pet.
"Roar... Roar... Roar..." At this moment, the roaring hunter suddenly let out several fierce roars in succession, turned around and swooped down on the formation of geese on the side.
This is probably a newly tamed pet playing with its owner. The bad thing about big pets is that they can be scary when playing.
"Swish..." Just as we were sighing in admiration, the giant lion Qilier clawed down, and blood splattered immediately on the heads of the geese formation, and their lives were greatly reduced.
Huh?! We were immediately dumbfounded and looked at each other in bewilderment - what? Do we have to risk our lives to play with our pets?
At this time, the fat sheep who had been standing aside in a daze came over slowly, ran leisurely to the legs of the geese, rubbed the geese's small boots , and looked docile and submissive.
I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart: Could it be...
"Just call yourself Yang Meime!" Even facing such a ferocious beast, Yan Zhen was unwilling to fight with it. He retreated hurriedly, saying loudly as he ran.
The word "Sheep" on the fat sheep's head disappeared immediately. After a moment, the three big words "Sheep Baa Baa" were placed on its forehead, shining brightly.
really……
"Ah, Xiao Yanyan, how did you catch the sheep back..." Feiyin was furious. I was already thinking about whether today's lunch would be mutton hotpot.
"Hey, didn't you all ask me to catch it?" Yan Zhen's tone was innocent.
"Who told you to catch sheep? We said to catch lions, lions!" Fei Yin screamed angrily, her lungs almost bursting.
"But..." While running away, Yan Zhen looked back at the chubby sheep Miemie following behind him and said reluctantly, "...Don't you think it's cute..."
Cute, maybe. Compared with the clever and smart Rabbit, the fat and slow Sheep is definitely of a completely different style. It is round like a cotton ball, swaying and following the wild geese in small steps. It doesn't seem like it is running, but more like rolling. It would be a lie to say that it is not cute, but...
“…Being cute can’t be eaten!” In my eyes, Feiyin has almost turned into a giant dragon that breathes fire from its nostrils.
We know that Yan Zhen loves animals and would rather be bitten to death than attack them. When we are with her, we have to follow this animal protection creed inexplicably. Although the Roaring Hunter Qilier is not a fatal threat to us, we are ready to run away before they get close.
"Ah... woo..." Suddenly, the giant lion Qilier pounced forward, opened his mouth wide, and bit Yang Meime's neck. Yang Meime, who was only level three, was already seriously injured and in critical condition. How could he withstand such a fierce attack at this time? His neck immediately twisted, his four legs kicked, and he fell to the ground without even a grunt.
