62: Chapter 62 The Awakening of the Gluttonous Beast

Chen Yi nodded slightly and admitted with a calm expression, "It's me!"

Lily's face lit up with joy: "That's great! I didn't expect it to actually be the legendary big shot!"

Wang Chengyu, the captain of the beast-taming squad, quickly snapped out of it and immediately ordered: "Don't get distracted! Until reinforcements arrive, our situation remains unchanged!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone finally recovered from their shock.

They resumed their combat stances, preparing for battle—no, wait, were they even needed now?

Lin Mengxue's Breath of Ice and Luo Shiyin's Wind Blade were no different from bullying weaklings against these roughly third-tier magical beasts; they were almost all instant kills.

It felt like there was no real need for them to be there.

However, for some unknown reason...

But, for some reason, Wang Chengyu felt something was strange in his heart.

Logically, Lin Mengxue and Luo Shiyin had already displayed such powerful destructive force.

Even though magical beasts lacked wisdom, they should still understand fear and retreat.

Yet, these magical beasts continued to charge at them without hesitation, and their numbers were only increasing.

Without a Beast King or high-tier magical beast causing a Monster Tide, what exactly was going on?

What on earth was happening?

In this manner, time passed minute by minute.

Ten minutes later, reinforcements still hadn't arrived, and the situation became increasingly critical.

As more and more magical beasts attacked, Lin Mengxue and Luo Shiyin's spiritual power gradually began to show signs of fatigue.

Unlike when they were killing magical beasts in the assessment area.

Back then, there was at least time to rest, but now, they had almost no chance to catch their breath.

Maintaining high-intensity combat throughout, even if it was just slaughtering weaklings, would leave one exhausted.

Precisely because of this, despite having several fourth-tier Beast Tamers present, the Guard Team was overwhelmed by the sheer number of magical beasts, and their airship was eventually shot down.

The bow defense zone had relatively less pressure because Lin Mengxue and Luo Shiyin were guarding it, but the situation in the other four zones was terrible.

More and more magical beasts were pouring in; they were impossible to withstand!

"I—I can't go on, my spiritual power is all used up."

"Me too, when will this battle ever end?"

"Didn't they say reinforcements would arrive in ten minutes? Where are they? We're not that far from the nearest Cloud City, right?"

"Everyone, grit your teeth and hold on a bit longer! Once any of our defense lines fall, it will cause a chain reaction, and everyone will die here!"

"I'll go back into the cabin to call for more reinforcements; I'll bring all the Second-tier Beast Tamers too!"

---

As the situation continued to deteriorate, anxiety and despair spread like a plague.

In this tense atmosphere, a slight moan came from behind Chen Yi.

Su Taotao slowly opened her eyes.

However, the impact damage from the airship's crash earlier surged through her entire body in an instant, bringing waves of sharp pain.

"Ow, ow, ow, where is this?"

Chen Yi looked at her and said in a rather relaxed tone, "Your favorite Huangshan Plains, do you love it?"

"Huangshan Plains?"

Su Taotao was stunned for a moment, trying hard to recall what had happened.

Finally, she remembered that the airship seemed to have crashed.

It was Chen Yi who had used his own body as a shield to protect her.

Otherwise, with her physical constitution, she would have likely lost her life in such a violent impact!

Thinking of this, a shy blush couldn't help but creep onto her cheeks as she whispered, "Thank you, Brother Chen Yi!"

[Ding! Su Taotao's favorability +10 points!]

"It's nothing, these are small matters—"

Halfway through his sentence, Chen Yi suddenly remembered something important.

Perhaps the current situation was a perfect opportunity!

An opportunity for Su Taotao to realize her own power!

Thinking of this, Chen Yi set Su Taotao down, gripped her shoulders firmly with both hands, crouched down, and looked into her eyes with a serious expression, asking, "Tao Tao, I'm asking you one thing right now: do you want power?"

Su Taotao was also stunned upon hearing this.

What did he mean by wanting to obtain power?

Could it be true, as the live stream comments had said, that Chen Yi's beast-taming talent could really strengthen F-rank Bloodline spirit beasts?

Even though she didn't fully understand the meaning of Chen Yi's words or why he would suddenly say this.

Deep in her heart, there was an uncontrollable desire, and she subconsciously nodded: "Yes! I want power!"

"Alright then, accept this power!"

Chen Yi didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately used Spirit Beast Awakening on Su Taotao.

Instantly, a warm power flowed from Chen Yi's hands and surged continuously into Su Taotao's body.

A brilliant light suddenly erupted from Chen Yi's palms, following the skin where they touched, pouring into Su Taotao's body and striking directly at the Wonton Beast bloodline within her.

A screen of light suddenly appeared, tightly enveloping Su Taotao within it.

When the light dissipated, a fiercely cute loli pet appeared before his eyes.

A petite and exquisite girl's body, her dark green hair dotted with dark gold starlight, sprouting adorable curved little sheep ears on her head, with a pair of clear yet dangerous dark gold vertical pupils, and mysterious cloud patterns on her cheeks.

A fluffy, soft, cloud-white and dark-green gradient tail served as her emotional barometer.

The core symbol of her power was the pair of energy vortices on the inside of her forearms that usually looked like tattoos but transformed into black holes during battle.

She looked harmless, even possessing a lazy cuteness, yet an extremely terrifying devouring force existed around her.

It was as if she were constantly devouring all the life force in her surroundings!

"Roar—"

A roar filled with endless hunger suddenly rang out, exploding directly in the depths of everyone's souls!

Everyone couldn't help but shudder, and their legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Every magical beast within a one-kilometer radius felt the fear from the depths of their bloodlines at that moment, and their bodies involuntarily prostrated on the ground.

The ancient ferocious beast, Taotie, had finally successfully awakened at this moment!

[Name: Su Taotao (Armed Form)]

(Target has insufficient internal energy; temporarily unable to enter Spirit Beast Form)

[demonization Countdown: 184 hours 24 minutes 55 seconds]

[Contract Master: None]

Surprisingly.

Su Taotao's strength was only at the first-tier, second-stage, but her attribute increase in Armed Form was exceptionally astonishing.

Could it be that this situation occurred to balance out the pain point of being unable to enter Spirit Beast Form?
