A ripping sound echoed through the flesh and bone.
A wound was slashed across the forehead of the raptor by Bai Ye, which then cried out in pain and slammed headfirst into a nearby tree.
Bai Ye swiftly pressed his hand against the ground, then flipped over, putting distance between himself and the raptor.
Then…
"Invisible Detonation!"
Boom!
Where Bai Ye had pressed, a sudden, immense explosion erupted. Though nothing was visible, an explosion occurred out of thin air.
There was no fire, no black smoke, but layers upon layers of heatwaves rolled out in waves, spreading outwards continuously.
The raptor was also sent flying by the blow, falling to the ground and twitching, its side completely blown apart, a bloody, mangled mess.
"It can really explode out of nowhere!"
Bai Ye marveled at the ability he had just obtained from the gashapon machine, then quickly took out two talismans.
Bai Ye didn't have much time for astonishment. There wasn't just one raptor around, but several.
"Fire Curse!"
Bai Ye softly chanted, then flicked his wrist. A talisman in his hand stood upright, then began to burn.
The next moment, Bai Ye pushed his hand forward, and a massive fireball appeared, shooting forward. It hit a large tree, which instantly burst into flames.
Like most beasts, the raptors seemed to have an innate fear of fire. Seeing the flames ignite, they involuntarily stopped, hesitating in place, and let out continuous shrieks.
Bai Ye immediately picked up the second talisman, shook it, and it too stood upright, beginning to burn.
"Wind Curse!"
Bai Ye pushed his hand forward, and in the middle of the raptors, a green tornado suddenly rose.
The tornado spun continuously, the surrounding winds like blades, constantly swirling and slashing at the raptors, creating wound after wound. The scent of blood gradually permeated the air.
Two raptors fell consecutively, leaving only one remaining in front of Bai Ye.
This raptor seemed hesitant, looking at the corpses of its companions, it dared not approach Bai Ye rashly. However, Bai Ye clearly had no intention of giving the raptor a chance to hesitate or escape.
"Ningshuang, Sword Control!"
Above the raptor's head, a silver sword light suddenly appeared.
As the sword light descended, the surrounding trees began to freeze, a layer of frost forming on their bark. Then…
*Puff!*
The sword light, formed from the Ningshuang Sword, pierced through the raptor's head from above, impaling it in a single strike.
Watching the last raptor fall, Bai Ye finally let out a sigh of relief, then wondered.
Why did dinosaurs suddenly appear?
What kind of world region would feature such prehistoric creatures?
Bai Ye thought as he approached, intending to examine the raptor carcasses, but just then…
*Zzzt!*
A sound of electricity suddenly came from the forest.
Bai Ye became highly vigilant. The moment he heard the electric sound, he immediately formed a sword seal.
"Ningshuang, Ice Wall!"
The Ningshuang Sword swiftly came to Bai Ye's front, and then a vast expanse of frosty mist appeared, spreading outwards.
With a boom, a three-meter-high ice wall rose from the ground before Bai Ye.
Simultaneously, the instant Bai Ye raised the ice wall, a yellow current of electricity shot out from the forest and struck the ice wall.
After a deafening roar, the ice wall before Bai Ye began to collapse, countless ice shards scattering onto the ground.
Bai Ye looked up ahead and was taken aback, saying, "Yellow-skinned rat?"
About seven or eight meters away stood a creature about fifty centimeters tall. It was covered in yellow fur, its small face resembling a rat's. Only on both sides of its cheeks were there two tufts of red fur, forming two circles. However, unlike ordinary rats, its ears were pointed and long, and its tail was shaped like a lightning bolt. Most miraculously, this little fellow could stand and walk like a human.
"Say that again if you dare!"
An angry voice rang out, and a young man with a hedgehog hairstyle walked out from behind a tree. He looked somewhat dishevelled, his entire body dirty, with several scratches on his face. The pant leg of his right leg was even missing a section, with many scratches from plants.
Bai Ye had a look of sudden understanding. So, he was from the Beast Tamer world, and that yellow-skinned rat must be his tamed beast.
The man pointed at Bai Ye and said, "Hand over your food and water."
Food and water?
Bai Ye surveyed the other man's appearance and could imagine what he had been through, but unfortunately, Bai Ye's situation seemed to be…
"Same here!" Bai Ye extended his hand, "Hand over your food and water to me."
The man said coldly, "Don't force me to find it on your corpse."
Bai Ye laughed, "With that yellow-skinned rat?"
"Shut up, who allowed you to call it that," the man growled. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
The yellow-skinned rat immediately clenched its fists, then its cheeks began to discharge electricity, and a yellow current shot out towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye had been wary of the other party's attack. The moment he saw the electricity gathering, he leaped to the side.
Boom!
The next moment, the yellow current grazed past Bai Ye's body, hitting a large tree behind him. With a loud noise, the tree was blasted apart.
The man waved his hand again, issuing a command: "Quick Attack!"
The yellow-skinned rat immediately began to run, and as it ran forward, its speed increased. Its body turned into a blur.
Bai Ye slowly straightened up, completely ignoring the yellow-skinned rat. Instead, he looked at the man and said, "Do you know what people from the Beast Tamer world fear the most?"
The man's mouth opened, as if to speak, but at this moment…
*Puff!*
A silver glint suddenly attacked from the side, piercing into the man's neck from the side and then exiting from the other side.
The man's eyes widened, his body stiffened for half a second, and then he fell backward.
With a bang, he hit the ground.
Bai Ye sneered, "People from the Beast Tamer world fear 'capturing the ringleader to capture the followers' the most!"
"You have eliminated a participant (Beast Tamer World)."
"As this is your first elimination of a participant from the Beast Tamer World, you have received a reward: a Mega Stone."
"You have obtained a Shard of the God Stone."
Mega Stone: When you possess both a Key Stone and a Mega Stone, you can allow your tamed beast to Mega Evolve.
At the same time…
With the death of its master, the yellow-skinned rat, which had been running wildly towards Bai Ye, suddenly stopped. It looked around with a bewildered expression, as if some memories had been lost. It completely forgot the man's existence and turned, running into the jungle, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Tamed beasts that lost their masters naturally reverted to being wild tamed beasts.
