Chen Fei was the one calling. She was not only a student of Di Wuhe but also his assistant. In everyone's eyes, to win Di Wuhe's favor, one had to connect with her first. Therefore, these hired Beast Tamers showed her considerable respect. Moreover, Chen Fei's strength had already reached the ranks of top Beast Tamers, just one step away from becoming a Beast Taming Master.
As Di Wuhe's student, her becoming a Beast Taming Master was a foregone conclusion.
On the other end of the phone, Chen Fei gave a few brief instructions before hanging up.
"Old Qiu, what's up? You sound so anxious."
After Qiu Xia hung up, the smile on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of worry.
"The higher-ups said that a group of students from Dragon Town Beast Taming Academy are coming to the Forget Worry Grassland for training, and they want us to keep an eye on them."
Zhao Biao frowned and retorted angrily, "Isn't this utter nonsense! They're telling us to evacuate all the villagers, and at the same time, they're sending students here for training. If anything bad happens, won't we be the ones to take the blame?"
Qiu Xia sighed, agreeing wholeheartedly.
After a moment of contemplation, he said helplessly, "Alright, stop complaining. We'll just follow the orders from above. Before these brats arrive, let's just kill those berserk Contract Beasts. It'll save us trouble later."
Zhao Biao silently followed Qiu Xia's footsteps, and the two went off to find the berserk Contract Beasts.
After the great battle during the day, Lu Fei and Tie Tou Wa were both exhausted. At night, to prevent beast attacks, the most important thing was survival, as it was impossible to keep their eyes open and observe their surroundings at all times.
The arduous and tiring work naturally fell to Brother Chicken. Thus, Lu Fei and Brother Chicken took turns on watch to avoid unnecessary dangers.
Lu Fei chose to set up his shelter on a high tree branch. There were still some uninfected young Contract Beasts in the forest, such as the [Earth Dragon], [Golden Armor Sunflower], and [Night Owl]. These Contract Beasts could also serve as an early warning system when there was danger.
As for the [Parasitic Beast] captured during the day, Lu Fei tossed it into his spatial ring and hung it on a coat rack. Even if it wanted to resist, its small stature made it unable to reach the ground.
Lu Fei had already made plans. After returning, he would throw this guy into the refrigerator to keep it company with the black Star Domain Contract Beast.
Over the next few days, Lu Fei continued to hunt for berserk Contract Beasts of similar strength. Fortunately, his luck was good, and he didn't encounter any berserk Contract Beasts that immediately tried to flee. In the blink of an eye, he had hunted five of them.
As the golden-hammer striker, Tie Tou Wa's experience was also soaring. It had already reached level 35, and its combat power had risen accordingly. Tie Tou Wa, with its rapid improvement in strength, became increasingly confident and more skilled in combat, using its speed advantage to skillfully fight against berserk Contract Beasts that were even stronger than itself.
Lu Fei's own beast-taming ability and the tacit understanding between him and Tie Tou Wa also surged.
At this moment, Lu Fei stood on the mountaintop, looking down. Tie Tou Wa stood beside him, its entire body stained with blood, and not far away lay the corpse of a berserk Contract Beast.
The view from the mountaintop was exceptionally vast, allowing one to clearly see the situation in the forest below. Although this area had just suffered attacks from berserk Contract Beasts, many Contract Beasts had avoided this calamity due to instinct. Some Contract Beasts were also naturally pack animals, and relying on the collective strength of their pack, they had driven away or killed some of the invading berserk Contract Beasts. As for the wild Contract Beasts with naturally strong abilities, they were not defeated by these infected ones in fights.
Lu Fei withdrew his gaze and looked in another direction.
Suddenly, he noticed a team of over a dozen people entering the forest from the entrance of the forest.
Lu Fei frowned, thinking, "Isn't this area under strict control now? Why are people still coming in?"
Due to the distance, Lu Fei could only vaguely see that the group of people were wearing uniforms and seemed to be very young.
"Could they be students from some academy?" Lu Fei thought to himself.
At this moment, the group suddenly stopped. After a brief reorganization, they divided into two teams and continued to advance.
Lu Fei exclaimed "Oh" as if he had suddenly understood, and a guess formed in his mind. This group should be students out for training. It seemed that the beast tide was nearing its end, otherwise, no academy would be so reckless as to push students into a fire pit.
He shifted his attention from these people. His mission to kill berserk Contract Beasts was not yet complete, and he also needed to help the drunkard find the Clear Heart Grass and the Tingting Flower. This was the first time the drunkard had promised him a reward, and he might get something good.
In the forest, a small team was cautiously moving deeper into the woods. There were seven of them in total, led by a white-browed old man, followed by six young people, one male and five females.
At this moment, the young man's expression was somewhat displeased. He had his hands clasped behind his head, his eyes wandering, and an air of nonchalance about him. He had fiery red long hair, was tall, and had a handsome appearance, but he exuded an unruly aura.
The girls around him were fawning over him, peeling various fruits for him to eat, their expressions flattering and seductive. They were all new faces, clearly a different group.
After walking for a while.
The young man angrily said, "Old man, didn't I tell you not to follow me? Can't you understand human language?"
In front of the burly young man, the white-browed old man smiled kindly and chuckled, "Young Master Tu Tian, please go about your business. I won't disturb you."
Tu Tian furiously retorted, "But your presence here makes it inconvenient for me! It's an eyesore!"
The white-browed old man's tone was calm and unhurried. "Heh heh, the academy sent me here precisely to ensure your safety. How can I leave just because you ask me to?"
Tu Tian gritted his teeth, his tone indignant.
"We've been walking for so long, and we haven't seen any berserk Contract Beasts. Isn't this purely a waste of time?"
"The academy is truly sick for forcing me to participate in this training. I could do so many meaningful things with this time!"
"Young Master Tu Tian, what kind of meaningful things are you referring to?" the white-browed old man asked, still smiling and speaking seriously.
"I think occasionally changing venues is also good, don't you think? Young Master Tu Tian, have you heard of..."
"Oh, right, right. Wild combat."
Tu Tian's expression immediately froze.
The coquettish girls around him chimed in, "Instructor Zhou, how can you speak like that? You're so naughty."
"Heh heh heh..." The white-browed old man gave a meaningful dry laugh. He was used to such scenes and couldn't be bothered. He only paid attention to Tu Tian; the others were none of his concern, and he didn't want to meddle.
The white-browed old man returned to the topic.
"In half a year, it will be the inter-academy team competition. Over forty colleges nationwide will participate, and this competition will also determine the qualification for promotion to a third-tier academy. The dean attaches great importance to it."
