122: Guarding the Spiritual Field and Grabbing Heads

The next day, Lin Shu was next to the large food cabinet on the first floor.

He began preparing breakfast for Black Night Saturn and Ziyu.

Since he had accepted a mission today, he increased the portions.

Watching the three beasts devour their food, the specially customized diet plan proved surprisingly effective.

This was evident from Saturn's status panel.

【Profound Truth】: Earthly mysteries - (0.011%)

Originally, yesterday's experience bar was (171/310).

In less than half a day, it had already reached 186, an increase of 15 experience points.

It seemed that 30 experience points could be gained from food in one day, and the effects for Black Night and Ziyu were basically the same.

This effect was several times better than that of advanced nutrient solution.

Besides the high price, there were no other downsides.

However, that wasn't its problem.

Over a month, the three Beastmasters could save Lin Shu approximately 2700 proficiency points.

Truly excellent.

This completely reassured Lin Shu, who had been somewhat worried about the effect.

The Source of Pure Earth was indeed a ninth-tier spiritual objects, helping him comprehend many Earthly mysteries, almost catching up to Black Night's progress, and the effect would last for a while.

In the past two days, Saturn had also awakened two more skills.

The first was the Earth-attribute skill Sandstorm Rising. The main effect of this skill was to kick up swirling sand to obscure the enemy's vision. Of course, it also had some damage capability, though its power was a bit low, making it a decent support skill.

The second skill, Fist Edge, was not as ordinary as its name suggested. It was a combat-attribute skill that enveloped the fists with Battle Qi, greatly increasing offensive capabilities, and incidentally adding a faint will-based damage that reached the Mental level.

This was very friendly to Saturn, who was already lacking in offensive power.

After the three beasts finished all their food.

Lin Shu placed the alien stele from his Space Storage inside the house.

The freed-up space was then filled with a considerable amount of food reserves.

The exact duration of this mission was uncertain, so these few days couldn't be wasted.

Along with some tools, all of which he had learned about on the forums.

The wilderness is dangerous, so he had to be careful and cautious... The whistling wind appeared in Lin Shu's ears.

Ziyu flapped its wings, flying at a decent speed above the expanse of emerald green forest.

As they slowly descended, a large patch of farmland appeared in their view.

Inside, many spiritual objects of various shapes and vibrant colors swayed.

Clearly, this was an area specifically cultivated for planting spiritual objects.

Today's mission was here.

Ziyu' sturdy body landed steadily, and Lin Shu dismounted.

But he saw a somewhat familiar figure.

Ahead, Chu Yu and a middle-aged man were waiting by the farmland.

Lin Shu walked over and greeted Chu Yu.

He hadn't expected that Chu Yu would also be interested in this thankless task.

He probably just came to experience the mission process.

And the middle-aged man was clearly the school's administrator stationed here.

He then spoke in a somewhat respectful tone.

“I am Liu Jie, the administrator of this spiritual land.”

“Now that both of you have arrived.”

“I will explain the situation clearly.”

He pointed to a patch of vibrant spiritual objects nearby, still in bud.

“Whenever these spiritual objects are about to mature.”

“A group of Beastmasters from the nearby forest will always be attracted and come to snatch them.”

“Your mission is to protect these spiritual objects.”

The two understood that the Beastmasters in this forest were also attracted by the abundant energy within the spiritual objects.

They couldn't help but want to taste them and raise their own levels.

“No problem.”

The two spoke in unison, which was consistent with the information they had gathered earlier.

There were no difficulties.

The Beastmasters in this forest were not very high-leveled because of their proximity to the city where Central State University was located, mostly around level 45.

It was Liu Jie's good fortune; if it weren't for Lin Shu and Chu Yu, these two special recruits.

Such a mission would likely not be accepted by anyone.

He would have to guard it alone.

Therefore, Liu Jie's attitude was very friendly.

Although Liu Jie's own Beastmaster strength was not bad, and he would also participate later, there were a great many Beastmasters swarming in.

It was easy to cause losses to the spiritual objects, which was why this mission appeared.

Since the personnel were in place, Liu Jie took out a blue candle.

It was made from spiritual objects, and its scent was equivalent to that of newly matured spiritual objects, serving to entice and attract.

Its purpose was to lure those Beastmasters here in advance to be eliminated.

As the candle was lit, the scent quietly emanated, carried by the wind, and blown far away.

“Soon, a group of Beastmasters will appear from both the sky and the ground to snatch them.”

“My Beastmasters cannot fly, so I'll leave the sky to the two of you.”

Neither of them had any objections.

Seeing this, Liu Jie activated his Space Storage and released his Beastmaster, ready for battle.

His Beastmaster was a level 52 Perfect-quality Giant Rock Monster.

It was quite well-trained and very powerful.

Chu Yu followed suit, releasing two Beastmasters.

The first was his main Beastmaster, a level 49 Lord-quality Ice Soul Flying Eagle.

Its strength was outstanding, and its aura was impressive; a whistling cold wind emerged from the flapping of its huge wings.

And another level 35 Perfect-quality Dark War Wolf.

Lin Shu glanced at them a few times before retracting his gaze, thinking, as expected of a specially recruited genius Beastmaster.

His strength was indeed outstanding. Coupled with his unique powerful combat Talent, even a typical level 60 wild Beastmaster would likely not be his opponent.

With a burst of light, the figures of Black Night and Saturn emerged.

As for Ziyu, he told it to hide well and be careful.

Chu Yu's gaze was immediately drawn to them.

He was also very curious about Lin Shu's Beastmasters.

Then he frowned slightly, wondering what species these two Beastmasters were.

Their general appearance resembled a Shadow Mantis and a Mountain Rock Golem, but they were only somewhat similar.

He racked his brains but couldn't find an exact match, which puzzled him somewhat.

He didn't have much time to think, as commotion erupted.

Like rolling thunder, from far to near, the earth trembled slightly, and the leaves rustled.

Immediately after, many white shadows flew through the sky, carrying loud cries, sharp and clear.

“These bastards are here.”

“I'll leave the sky to the two of you; please pay attention to your safety!”

He then commanded his Giant Rock Monster to charge forward.

Many jungle wolves had already broken through the bushes, baring their fangs and rushing over.

The commotion from behind was continuous, indicating an extremely large number.

After this defense, he would surely gain a lot of proficiency!

At Lin Shu's signal, Saturn also quickly followed.

Preparing to rush forward and snatch some kills.

His master had taught him all this last night.

He said that doing so would earn more proficiency.

Thinking of these things, he naturally obeyed completely.

Resolutely carrying out his master's will...
