Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 117 A Lonely Man on a Moonlit Night

The weights on both sides of the scale are similar and the scale swings left and right. The way to break the situation is actually very simple.

You don't need to replace all the weights on one side with heavier weights, just make one of them heavier, that's enough.

The complex battlefield is not a balance, but sometimes the principles are the same.

The members of the tiger hunting team who were strengthened by the stars were like the weight that became heavier.

As they quickly killed the originally stalemate opponents and began to free up their hands to help other teams around them, the situation turned around instantly.

Those wild Transcendent creatures that attacked in groups finally realized why they couldn't do anything after more than half of their companions were killed.

The madness and ferocity in their eyes were replaced by fear and panic.

The intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary animals, allowing them to understand that they cannot escape easily.

And what caused all this...

"Ouch!" With a crazy roar, a powerful Transcendent creature that was red all over and looked like a blood lion looked at Xu Ran, and then rushed towards him like crazy.

"Meow~" (seeking death!)

Zi Yun, who was huddled in front of Xu Ran, slightly raised his head, lightning flashed in his eyes, and a terrifying aura gradually brewed around him, and he couldn't help but want to take action.

But someone moves faster than it.

"Wind Lion Dog!"

As Liu Gu shouted loudly, a huge cyan figure headed towards the blood lion without fear. Under the blessing of the stars, the wind lion dog and the blood lion, which were gaining momentum, rolled together and bit fiercely. looking at each other.

In the end, the wind lion dog bit the opponent's throat and tore it apart cruelly, letting the fishy blood splatter on his face and body. He roared upwards and his ferocious aura shocked the other beasts.

"Ga!!!"

A weird and unpleasant roar came from the mouth of one of the besieging Transcendent creatures, which was pitch black and looked like a lizard but was covered in disgusting pustules.

The next moment, the remaining dozen or so wild Transcendents all stopped fighting in front of them and launched a breakout in a certain direction, trying to escape.

That direction is...

"Song Chen, keep them!" Zhang Yun shouted anxiously.

"You don't need to say it!" Song Chen said fiercely, directing his team to take action quickly.

But the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

The body of the pitch-black lizard suddenly swelled, and the goosebump-inducing pustules on its surface swelled more and more, exuding a disgusting smell.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, it exploded in the crowd.

The smell instantly spread all around, and those who smelled it covered their noses and raised their foreheads, feeling dizzy.

"Poisonous! Liu Gu!" Zhang Yun shouted.

As soon as he spoke, Liu Gu had already reacted and immediately directed the waves suspended in the air.

"Gudong~"

The waves made a sound of disgust and resistance, and instantly rolled up the rain curtain, washing away the disgusting smell and detoxifying everyone at the same time.

But with such a small twist, a gap appeared in the original iron-barrel formation. Even though everyone reacted immediately and started chasing, two Transcendent creatures were still able to escape from the encirclement.

Looking at the enemy beast gradually going away, Zhang Yun's face gradually darkened. He immediately turned to look at Song Chen, "You can obviously prevent that beast from blowing up!"

Song Chen's face was also gloomy, he opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

He did have this ability, but at that moment he did not expect that the lizard would explode to give other Transcendent creatures a chance, so his reaction was half a beat too slow.

However, Song Chen reacted quickly and snorted coldly at the first moment, "You can't blame me completely for this, right? Your Tiger Hunting Team has such support, why don't you assist people from other teams?"

"If everyone had such auxiliary support just now, it would be easy to block those two beasts!"

Although this was Song Chen's excuse, it was not unreasonable. For a while, many beast masters from other teams couldn't help but look at Xu Ran.

"Are you still shameless?" Zhang Yun's face darkened, "Didn't you dislike Boss Xiao Xu for being weak before?"

"That's right, they are sharing the resources of our team, why should I help you?" Yan Fan sneered and mocked.

"Uncle Liu, missing two, does it have a big impact?" Ignoring the quarrels of others, Xu Ran lowered his voice and asked Liu Gu for advice.

"The impact is quite large..." Liu Gu briefly explained the rules of action of Transcendent creatures outside the city. "There may be a second wave of attacks soon, which will be very annoying."

"Understood."

Xu Ran nodded slightly, and the next moment his pupils and the whites of his eyes turned into pitch black, and his pupils shrank to erect needlepoints, looking around indifferently like an abyss.

Movements within a radius of several kilometers can be understood in an instant.

"Zi Yun."

"Stab-"

With a harsh electric sound, Zi Yun, who was huddled in front of Xu Ran, was instantly reduced to a shadow gathered by thunder and lightning, and his figure disappeared in a few flashes.

The noise and quarrels all around stopped abruptly.

"You..." Song Chen's expression changed slightly, and when he met Xu Ran's indifferent dark eyes, he felt a chill in his back for no reason.

"Meow~" (Both of them are solved.)

The thunder and lightning shadow re-condensed into Zi Yun's body. It slowly sat upright, with a calm and calm expression on its face.

"The two that ran away just now have been dealt with." Xu Ran said calmly, and then locked his eyes on Song Chen, "There is still one left."

"What are you going to do?!" Looking at the sudden flash of lightning, Song Chen's expression suddenly became frightened.

"Bah-"

"Ga!!!"

The electric light passed by Song Chen's head, and then hit the ground behind him hard.

A dark and ferocious shadow appeared instantly, shrouded in the electric light and twisted painfully, and finally completely disappeared into ashes.

That was the black lizard that blew itself up just now. It didn't die completely, but escaped from its shell like a golden cicada, almost hiding it from everyone.

"hehe…"

Song Chen, who had just recovered from the shock, turned pale. He felt his legs go weak and he collapsed on the ground.

"Okay, solved."

Xu Ran touched Zi Yun in his arms. While releasing the star chain, his eyes returned to normal. He smiled at Liu Gu beside him, "Now everyone can sleep peacefully."

The corners of Liu Gu's mouth twitched slightly.

How do you act as if nothing happened? !

"Okay, let's go to the station quickly."

The corner of Zhang Yun's mouth twitched. Although he was also shocked by Xu Ran's power, he looked at the sky and knew that he could not delay it any longer.

The other teams also came to their senses one after another. Although they occasionally cast strange looks at Xu Ran, they did not delay their business and set off one after another.

Even Song Chen, whose legs were weak from fright, stood up with the help of other members of the same team, glanced at Xu Ran, and set off without saying a word.

Soon, the crowd disappeared.

About ten minutes after everyone left, the black shadows gradually lengthened, as if some force was pulling away from them and then gathering together.

A black lizard that was several times smaller in size quickly condensed into shape. It looked towards the direction where everyone was leaving with fear in its eyes.

so close!

If it hadn't been for the fact that its life-saving skills were close to the waning-moon level, and that it had not decisively given up most of its power at the critical moment and replaced it with a safer hiding method, it would really have perished here just now.

That human…

Xu Ran's figure appeared in his mind, and the fear in the black lizard's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by resentment and ferocity.

He must die!

The figure of the black lizard retreated into the shadows again, disappearing without a trace.

——

"Finally arrived at the station."

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

This station was agreed upon in advance based on their itinerary. It has good terrain and can defend against attacks by wild Transcendent creatures. It also has a scarce water source outside the city.

Everyone fetched water individually and after confirming that it was non-toxic and drinkable, they took a rest, set up camp, and prepared food in an orderly manner.

"Come! Boss Xiao Xu! Try this." Du Heng took out a large piece of dried meat from the backpack behind him and handed it to Xu Ran, "My wife is very good at making this, it tastes good!"

"Thank you." Xu Ran smiled, took it and took a bite.

The jerky is firm and chewy without being too chewy, the saltiness is just right, and it really tastes good.

"Try this. The pancakes I made are more chewy when cold!" Liu Xue smiled and took out a pancake and handed it to Xu Ran.

It is not convenient to light a fire in the camp, but the members of the Tiger Hunting Team are experienced and have already prepared a variety of delicious food that can be eaten cold.

This made Xu Ran, who was inexperienced and only brought some biscuits and bread to satisfy his hunger, couldn't help but admire him.

After resting, the sky has completely plunged into darkness, a bright crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the only sound in the quiet night is the chirping of insects.

After eating, Xu Ran took a sip of water from the water bag, then hung the water bag around his waist and looked at the members of the Tiger Squad who were about to rest.

He knew that the time of separation had come.

He chose to follow the tiger hunting team because these people were familiar with them and had rich experience in wild survival, which would allow him to avoid detours.

But when he actually walked together, he realized that it was not as beautiful as he imagined.

Because there are other teams here.

These teams are not familiar to him. Some of them have been unfriendly to him due to Song Chen's instigation. After showing their strength, these people will probably be more wary of him.

Xu Ran is determined to obtain the Heart of Thunder Stone. If he continues to travel with the others, obtaining the resources may cause trouble for the Tiger Hunting Team.

It's better to take it away first. Anyway, they all thought that the power of the powerful thunder-type Transcendent creature was dissipated after its death, so let them continue to think like this.

"Captain Zhang, everyone, it's time for me to leave." Xu Ran spoke softly.

The five members of the Tiger Squad looked at each other with surprised expressions.

"Where are you going on such a dark night?" Liu Gu lowered his voice and spoke with concern, "Is it because of that villain Song Chen? Don't worry, he will definitely not have the guts to provoke you again."

"It's not because of him." Xu Ran shook his head slightly, hesitated, and decided to tell the truth.

"Actually, I came here because I'm interested in a resource in the resource area. If I take it away in front of other people, it may cause you trouble."

"But on such a dark night, you..." Liu Xue spoke a little faster and spoke anxiously.

"Okay." Zhang Yun interrupted Liu Xue in a deep voice. He thought for a while, then walked to Xu Ran, took out a rolled up map and handed it over, "Take this."

"The dangers on the road from here to the resource area are all marked."

"Be careful on the road."

Looking at Zhang Yun, Xu Ran took the map and said, "Thank you."

Seeing Xu Ran get on his horse and disappear quietly into the night, Liu Xue became anxious, "Captain, why did you let him go?"

"Have you forgotten Xu Ran's strength?" Zhang Yun shook his head helplessly, "That horse is a dark beast, and that cat is powerful enough to beat our entire team."

"He is walking in the dark. As long as he is careful not to encounter the commander, there is not much danger."

Looking at the people who were still a little worried, Zhang Yun spoke meaningfully.

"Tiger's always walk alone."

——

"Damn it, why are there a bunch of tigers here?!"

Holding Zi Yun and sitting on Xingchen's back, Xu Ran used his night eyes to look at the black tigers chasing behind him from time to time, with an expression that made him want to cry.

"Fortunately, they can't run away from the stars." Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression darkened, "I have obviously bypassed the area where they move."

"Meow~" (Should I beat them?)

Zi Yun looked behind him eagerly.

It felt that these big tigers could all be wiped out with one thunderous sound.

"Forget it, forget it, there's too much noise." Xu Ran glanced at the map given by Zhang Yun by the light of a flashlight. It specifically reminded him not to make too much noise late at night, otherwise he would be hunted down by more wild Transcendent creatures.

After running wildly for a while, several black tigers seemed to have run out of endurance. They gradually slowed down and were left far behind by the stars. Finally, they had no choice but to give up.

"Next, we have to pass through four wild Transcendent gathering areas." Xu Ran pointed to the route on the map and whispered, "This time we will go further."

I just wasn't cautious enough, I only stayed about one kilometer away from a certain wild Transcendent gathering area, and happened to encounter a group of black tigers out foraging.

This time the distance is five kilometers, so there should be no problem.

Turning off the flashlight, one person and two pets completely blended into the night with the blessing of the night song, and headed towards the destination as quickly as possible.

"It seems like that's where it is."

Soon, the speed of one person and two pets slowed down.

Ahead is where the resources indicated on the map are.

Through hunting night eyes, Xu Ran has seen a large number of wild Transcendent creatures active in the resource area.

These should be the guys entrenched in the resource areas that Liu Gu mentioned before.

Also through the Hunter Night Eye, Xu Ran saw a rather strong fluctuation of thunder power hidden underground in the center of the resource area.

Although he didn't know what it was, if nothing else happened... it should be what he was thinking about.

"Zi Yun, you have to lure these Transcendent creatures away!"

"Meow~" (Leave it to me!)

Zi Yun nodded seriously.

It knew that not far ahead there was the last main material for its evolution.

Landing lightly, Zi Yun walked quietly to another place without making a sound. After leaving Xu Ran and Xingchen, it suddenly exploded with power around it, and the thunder and lightning exploded attracting the attention of all wild Transcendent creatures.

Then, at the moment when a group of wild Transcendent creatures swooped up, Zi Yun's figure flashed and disappeared.

run!
