Level Cap: LV100+

Status: Worried

Quality: Lord

Attribute: Wind

It seems this is the evolved form of the Black and White Feathered Beast.

No wonder it can control this group of guys.

It's likely that in this breeding ground, they had always followed this rule.

Each species of Beast had a leader.

And this worried status, could it be that it discovered Dao Yao?

From this, it seems the Mysterious Feathered Beast still possesses some human-like intelligence.

“There’s a stronger guy over there.”

“It’s controlling these Black and White Feathered Beasts.”

Lin Shu looked into the distance, pointing his finger to the side.

Upon hearing this, Li Wen and Chu Yu looked over simultaneously, clearly also noticing that unusually large figure.

They hadn't noticed it earlier because it had been hidden.

The two then understood that Lin Shu’s observational skills were as excellent as ever.

At this moment, they belatedly realized why the other side had suddenly retreated.

It was clearly wary of Mentor Gu Li’s Beast behind them.

But this was good, it gave their Beasts some time to catch their breath.

To recover some stamina and energy.

Although there were recovery potions for this, such items were somewhat expensive.

They only had one or two spare ones in their hands.

Especially instant recovery types; converted to credits, they cost at least 200 credits per dose, and could only restore 35% of energy.

The prices of slow-recovery potions were more moderate, so everyone could afford to use them.

Throwing out a few thumb-sized blue and red pills, Dan Hong White Crane and Ice Soul Flying Eagle instantly caught and swallowed them.

These were Energy Recovery Orbs and Stamina Recovery Orbs. Lin Shu also took them out and had Hei Ye and the others consume them together.

Higher-end Spirit Source Jade and Qi Recovery Spirit Orbs could instantly restore 50% of energy or stamina. Lin Shu spent 1000 credits to acquire four spares, just in case.

As for the Energy Recovery Orbs and Stamina Recovery Orbs, his mentor had given him quite a few to use.

Gu Li stood to the side, giving Dao Yao a hard kick.

“Look at you, I told you not to use too much energy.”

“You scared them all away, didn’t you?”

Dao Yao was expressionless. How could it blame him? He didn’t quite agree and showed no reaction, like a stoic.

Lin Shu looked regretfully at the unusually large number of Black and White Feathered Beasts on the other side.

His Beast had just started to exert itself, so why did they run away?

He looked at the panel.

What were his gains at this moment?

(Proficiency: 1843)

Among these, 300 points were gained from practicing skills over the past few days, meaning he had only killed about fifty Black and White Feathered Beasts in total.

The ground all around was littered with the corpses of Black and White Feathered Beasts, at least one hundred and fifty of them.

Most were killed by Li Wen and Chu Yu’s Beasts; he accounted for less than a third.

This number was a bit too small. His Beast’s area-of-effect skills were still too few, which was a disadvantage. Ziyu certainly had this potential and could be developed further.

However, its current level was too low, and its skill proficiency was also a bit poor. It still needed to grow for some time before it could truly become a Thunder Mage King.

The three rested briefly for half an hour, and everyone's Beasts had basically recovered to full condition.

The current situation was that the large group of Beasts on the opposite side, under the command of the Mysterious Feathered Beast, no longer actively launched attacks.

At this moment, the number of black shadows on the hillside and on the trees was noticeably reduced.

But there were still quite a few.

The three began to discuss.

Whether to launch an active attack.

Chu Yu spoke first.

“It’s too dangerous for us to rush forward.”

“It’s like lambs entering a tiger’s den, no different.”

Yes, their Beasts’ strength was not yet at the point where they could do as they pleased, let alone the other side still had a leader of unknown strength.

Although they hadn't fully unleashed their power yet, even if they did, it would be somewhat helpless.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Shu and Li Wen both agreed wholeheartedly.

The situation seemed to be at a standstill.

Gu Li, standing nearby, noticed the trio's predicament and spoke up.

“Since they’re hiding, then let’s continue tomorrow.”

“Anyway, there’s no rush for this beast tide cleanup mission.”

“Tomorrow, if I put away my Beast, it will be the same as today.”

Saying that, he packed up his things, intending to leave.

His words made a lot of sense. It would be foolish for them to charge in. For now, this was the only way.

Gradually wearing down their numbers day by day, and then eliminating them all, was the safest method. There was no need to clash head-on with them.

They had no choice but to follow Gu Li and start heading back.

Immediately, the group returned to the Otherworld entrance.

They soon returned to the civilian housing arranged by the school.

At this time, in the other three beast tide locations.

The other students were somewhat disheveled at this moment. Even though they had a larger number of people, especially with two teams having one more Beastmaster than before.

However, facing this fierce beast tide, they were already somewhat unable to resist.

They swept in like locusts, breaking through their protective barriers.

Rushing wildly inside, causing everyone to be in a very sorry state.

Not only the Beastmasters, but even the Beasts were somewhat unable to resist.

If it weren't for the sufficient number of people, let alone minor injuries, there might even be a risk to their lives.

They retreated in disarray, fighting as they fell back.

This left them utterly miserable; these 150 credits were truly not that easy to obtain.

They also understood the true meaning of group tactics... It was only around 2 PM now.

The three returned to their respective rooms.

Gu Li, on the other hand, took his equipment and went to a wild pond to start his daily fishing routine.

He hadn't touched it in a long time due to his busy schedule, and his hands were itching to fish.

Of course, he also invited Lin Shu along.

However, Lin Shu planned to use up the proficiency he had gained before coming.

Inside the room.

Lin Shu sat on the bed board.

Thinking about the allocation of proficiency points.

Hei Ye and Ziyu still watched intently.

The night before last, his Beasts had all leveled up by one, with the help of the Earth Vein Tide's accumulation and food.

Currently, Black Night Saturn and Ziyu’ levels were 49, 40, and 32 respectively.

Adding points to Hei Ye now would not be of much help to the beast tide.

Currently, adding points to Ziyu was the most suitable option.

This way, he could gain more proficiency in this wave of beast tide.

Forming a virtuous cycle.

Since his thoughts were clear.

He didn’t hesitate and began to allocate points.

First, he spent 630 proficiency points to raise Ziyu to level 34.

Then, his gaze turned to the Talent – Purple Lightning Thunder Source.

This Talent not only increased energy reserves but also lightning power. After adding points, it could significantly boost Ziyu’ combat strength.

He directly spent 480 proficiency points to raise Purple Lightning Thunder Source to the Grandmaster level.

Ziyu was incredibly comfortable at this moment, its eyes flashing with purplish-blue lightning.

It felt as if it was getting stronger from the inside out.

As for the remaining proficiency, he poured it all into the advanced skill – Crossed Lightning.

Spending 670 proficiency points, he directly pushed it to the Subtle level.

63 proficiency points remained.

After this series of point allocations, he believed Ziyu’ performance tomorrow would not disappoint him.

After all, this nearly 2000 point increase in proficiency was truly immense.

Hei Ye’s eyes widened beside him. He actually didn’t get a single point this time?

This had never happened!

It made him feel incredible.

Ziyu raised its horse head and looked at Hei Ye.

Its expression was smug, and it even playfully winked at him.

This instantly made Hei Ye furious...
