Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel

On the parched ground, trees of grotesque shapes stood tall, forming a vast dense forest, shrouded in a gray mist that obscured the sun in the sky, making the place appear eerie and deep.

Semi-transparent ghost spirits appeared from time to time, wandering aimlessly, their shrill wails echoing through the forest, sending chills down one's spine.

The clattering of bones colliding could be heard intermittently, and as one looked, skeletal undead crawled out of the earth, igniting soul fires and forming ranks to advance slowly.

Bang—

Remember the domain name of the first website 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A tremendous impact echoed, shaking the earth, followed by a gust of wind that transformed into a tornado under the immense energy, raging through the dense forest.

Trees snapped and were uprooted, and even more various skeletal undead were swept up by the gale, eventually ground into bone fragments, losing their original forms.

Soon after, the wind subsided, the tornado dissipated, and countless remnants of skeletons fell from the sky, resembling a rain of shattered bones.

"Uncle Zhao, you're too strong! So many skeletons were cleared away in an instant!" A young man in a brown jacket exclaimed in shock, a hint of envy inevitably present in his eyes.

In the direction of his gaze, a middle-aged man with a somewhat weathered face looked around vigilantly, his expression solemn.

"Isolate the aura."

Following the weathered man's command, a Azure Wind Feathered Eagle, whose aura had reached the fourth rank, spread its wings, and a surge of azure energy emanated from its body, sweeping across a large area, ultimately forming a transparent barrier that isolated the aura.

Only then did the weathered man's stern face relax slightly, and he looked around with a smile, "Alright, my spirit pet has isolated the aura here, but the commotion from the previous battle was still too great, and it might attract other undead."

"I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, hurry up and collect the soul cores of those Gray Soul Skeletons, they're all money."

Faced with this huge harvest, the crowd chatted happily, presenting a lively scene, even though they were in the dangerous Dead Mist Valley.

The weathered man at the head shook his head helplessly at the sight of his companions.

They were the Wind Eagle Hunting Party, established in the Ancient Capital, an old hunting party with more than eight years of history, currently at the four-and-a-half-star level in the Hunter's Council, considered to have a small reputation throughout the Ancient Capital.

Their purpose in coming to the Dead Mist Valley this time was also very simple: to make money and do quests, and at most, to hone their strength.

After all, they were a four-and-a-half-star hunting party, and ordinary fourth-rank transcendents were just targets to be hunted for their hunting party, only powerful fourth-ranks could threaten them.

Therefore, the Dead Mist Valley, which only allowed entry to those below the fifth rank, was undoubtedly the most suitable quest location for their hunting party.

Of course, this was not only the case for their Wind Eagle Hunting Party, but also a very good place for other beastmasters with fourth-rank combat power.

With enough hunting targets and decent rewards after killing them, this place had no drawbacks except for being a bit dangerous.

And even the so-called danger, as long as one was careful and did not act rashly, a group like their Wind Eagle Hunting Party, which possessed fourth-rank elite combat power, would hardly encounter any danger.

After all, the only things that could pose a threat to them, apart from fifth-rank transcendent undead, were large numbers of fourth-rank undead besieging them, but the former's range of activity was restricted under official control, and how could the latter encounter such a situation if they weren't too impulsive and arrogant?

In addition, there was a final possibility, which was encountering a fourth-rank undead with a domain, but the probability of that was even smaller, as domains were not so easily awakened, especially for this group of undead who seemed to be kept in captivity.

And even if they did encounter a fourth-rank undead with a domain, with the current strength of the Wind Eagle Hunting Party, even if they couldn't win, they could still escape safely if they used their trump cards.

Thinking this in his heart, Zhao Dawei, the captain of the Wind Eagle Hunting Party, smiled softly and turned his head to look at the youngest brown-clothed man among the crowd.

"Xiaoqiang, there were too many Gray Soul Skeletons just now, so I didn't let you go up. If you want to hone your combat skills, I'll help you find a more suitable undead later."

Hearing this, the brown-clothed man, Zhang Xiaoqiang, waved his hands repeatedly, then said with a look of admiration, "Uncle, I couldn't have gone up in that situation. I'm just an ordinary advanced beastmaster, you think too highly of me."

"But Uncle, your spirit pet is too strong! So many Gray Soul Skeletons just now, including a leader-level one, but it still fell in an instant."

Seeing his nephew like this, Zhao Dawei shook his head and smiled softly, "That fourth-rank Gray Soul Skeleton had only just broken through not long ago, otherwise, even if my spirit pet is strong, it wouldn't be possible to take it down so quickly without going all out."

"That's still very strong! At least today, the undead I've encountered here haven't been a match for your spirit pet, Uncle, and most of them couldn't even withstand a single move. I wonder when I'll be that strong," Zhang Xiaoqiang said enviously, looking at the Azure Wind Feathered Eagle with its cold aura.

It was clearly just a leader-species spirit pet, the same as his main spirit pet, but under his uncle's nurturing, whether in terms of strength or skills, it far surpassed his main spirit pet.

Zhao Dawei saw through his nephew's thoughts at a glance, shook his head and smiled, then turned his gaze to the surroundings, glanced around, and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Alright, Xiaoqiang, that's enough, we should leave here."

"Huh? Uncle, are we leaving so soon?" Zhang Xiaoqiang glanced at the Wind Eagle Hunting Party members who were still collecting soul cores, and asked in astonishment.

In his opinion, with the strength shown by his uncle, it wouldn't be a problem to stay a little longer, right?

"If it were in other parts of the Dead Mist Valley, it wouldn't matter to stay a little longer, but this is the border between the core area and the inner area of the Dead Mist Valley. You should know what that means, right?" Hearing his nephew's words, Zhao Dawei pointed to the west and explained patiently.

"See over there? That's the core area of the Dead Mist Valley, the place where the official said there are King-level undead."

Zhang Xiaoqiang was startled, but after thinking about it, he asked puzzledly, "Uncle, but according to what you said before, King-level undead can't leave the core area, and they can't even launch attacks outside. In that case, even if we're on the edge of the core area, they can't attack us, right?"

“That's indeed the case, but you need to understand that the danger I'm talking about isn't just King-level undead.” Zhao Dawei sighed, opened his eyes, and continued, “You have to understand that the reason I brought the Wind Eagle Hunting Squad here to hunt is precisely because the closer we get to the core of Death Mist Valley, the more concentrated the power of death becomes.”

“As a result, more undead will gather here. This is why we were able to find such a large number of Gray Soul Skeletons all at once. At the same time, because this is the edge of the core area, many powerful undead driven out of the core area may come out from here.”

“With such an ambush, it's easy to find suitable targets.”

After listening to this explanation, Zhang Xiaoqiang, understanding, nodded repeatedly. However, in the end, he looked towards the core area and asked, “Uncle, since that's the case, can't we just go directly to the core area to hunt? Although there are Tier 5 King-level undead inside, according to the official statement, there are very few Tier 5 undead inside, right? Plus, the core area is so large, as long as we're careful and don't go too deep, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?”

“You're thinking too optimistically. Indeed, considering the size of the core area, the chances of us encountering a Tier 5 undead if we only wander around the edge are extremely small. But you need to know that if we do encounter one, with the strength of our Wind Eagle Hunting Squad, the only possibility is total annihilation.” Zhao Dawei shook his head, his tone serious.

Hearing his uncle's words, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but click his tongue. In his opinion, his uncle was already very strong. At the Hunter's Guild, people from other hunting squads spoke to his uncle with respect, even those who were also Tier 4 Beast Tamers.

But even so, in his uncle's opinion, encountering a Tier 5 King-level undead would only lead to death, with no other possibility. This was too…

“Uncle, if the difference between Tier 5 and Tier 4 is really that big, then do people even dare to go to the core area? And why does the government allow King-level undead to exist within Death Mist Valley? Wouldn't it be better to just eliminate them?”

Faced with his nephew's series of questions, Zhang Dawei glanced around. Seeing that the others were almost finished collecting, he continued to answer, “The difference between Tier 5 and Tier 4 is much greater than you imagine. When I was following a large hunting squad on a mission, I personally felt the oppressive force of a Tier 5 transcendent being.”

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“After the other party unleashed their domain, I could feel that I had no ability to resist at all. My spirit pet was the same. It was too powerless.”

“Are there people who dare to go to the core area? Of course, there are. After all, as long as the profits are high enough, there are still many people willing to take those risks. And the core area of Death Mist Valley, just in terms of the natural treasures it produces, has enough profit.”

“However, there are also some powerful hunting squads that dare to secretly operate within the edge of the core area. Although those hunting squad members are all Tier 4, they are rated as five-star by the Hunter's Council. Even so, they can't defeat a Tier 5 being, but they can block one or two attacks and then take the opportunity to escape the core area.”

Speaking of the end, Zhao Dawei's tone carried a hint of longing and emotion. His current goal is to lead the Wind Eagle Hunting Squad to become such a hunting squad.

“Alright, everyone come over here. It's time for us to leave this place.”

Following Zhao Dawei's words, the hunting squad members who were busy collecting spoils stopped and gathered towards the captain with their respective spirit pets.

“Then are there no Tier 4 Beast Tamers who can contend against Tier 5 undead?” After listening, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at his uncle and asked, puzzled.

Watching his teammates return, Zhao Dawei turned his head, shook his head, and smiled, “Impossible. The gap between Tier 4 and Tier 5 is too big. Even those Tier 4 domain-level powerhouses have to move stealthily when they enter the core area. As for a head-on battle, that's undoubtedly courting death.”

Just then, the others also walked back. After hearing the conversation between the uncle and nephew, several people couldn't help but laugh and said.

“Xiaoqiang, you're still too young. Don't think that we uncles are only Tier 3, but in terms of experience, you're still far behind.”

“That's right. I personally felt the aura and pressure of a Tier 5 being when I followed your uncle. That's really not something a Tier 4 can contend with.”

“In my opinion, I'm afraid that even the peerless genius Beast Tamers from those top academies wouldn't be able to defeat a Tier 5 when they're Tier 4.”

Seeing his teammates return and tease his nephew, Zhao Dawei helplessly shook his head and said, “Alright, let's leave now, otherwise, if any powerful undead from the core area are attracted over, even we will find it very troublesome.”

“I think the captain is being too cautious. This battle ended so quickly. The probability of attracting powerful undead is too low.” A burly man with thick hair shook his head and muttered.

Another person laughed and said at this time, “Alright, the captain has already said so. We'll just do as he says. You don't think you're more powerful than the captain, do you?”

While chatting, the members of the Wind Eagle Hunting Squad packed up and prepared to leave with their spirit pets. Judging by their appearance, most of them seemed quite relaxed, except for a few individuals.

But just then, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly came from within the core area. Its pressure instantly swept over them.

“How is that possible!”

“Tier 5! This is definitely Tier 5! Run!”

The hunting squad, which had been somewhat relaxed before, instantly became serious. Although Tier 5 undead cannot actively attack outside the core area, there's nothing they can do if they are hit by the residual force of an attack.

Zhang Dawei and the others looked solemn, and as they were commanding their spirit pets to take them away from this place, suddenly two beams of light lit up in the core area. Instantly, a powerful pressure spread out like equality among all beings.

The Wind Eagle Hunting Squad and others outside the edge of the core area happened to be enveloped by it. Instantly, except for Zhang Dawei's spirit pet, the Azure Wind Feather Eagle, which barely managed to stand up, everyone else, including their spirit pets, were unable to move under this pressure.

“This is a domain!”

“What is that? A bear?”

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the outer periphery of the core area.

In the sky above that forest, two powerful beings stood facing each other. Their domains were like two invisible torrents, colliding fiercely in the air, bursting out with heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

Each clash of domains seemed to tear the space apart, bringing with it gusts of wind, stirring up the surrounding leaves and dust.

The forms of those two powerful beings were also revealed after the domain's light bloomed. One of them was a huge skeleton, its eye sockets burning with a ghostly blue flame, as if it could devour all life. And its Tier 5 King-level aura was released without any concealment, as if declaring its majesty and power to the world.

The other was a purple giant bear, its eyes flashing with lightning, as if containing endless violent power. Thousands of lightning bolts roamed around it like its limbs, resisting the pressure of the Tier 5 King-level undead opposite it without showing any weakness.
