93: Hunt

At this moment, Lin Shu was still at the place with the broken roots and crumbling walls.

He didn’t dwell too much on the Otherworld items; if there were any, he’d take them, otherwise, he’d leave.

Just then, a red light rose high from the northwest.

Then, like fireworks, it scattered, and tiny red lights illuminated the entire Black Night with a pervasive red glow.

Immediately, another red pillar of light shot into the sky, indicating a direction.

Clearly, this was a way to transmit information.

At this point, Xu Lihuang, who saw this scene, said,

“This is a Red Jade Pillar, a tool for indicating direction.”

“It means the officials have sent a signal, instructing all Beastmasters who have entered the Otherworld to gather.”

“We don’t know what the situation is yet.”

The officials are summoning everyone?

Did they encounter some danger, or is there a conflict with Otherworld races among them?

Or is there something good? All these possibilities exist.

After a moment of thought, Lin Shu decided to go.

With Teacher Xu and Snow Feather protecting him,

he feared nothing in this Otherworld could harm him.

Thus, he immediately said,

“Teacher Xu, let’s go take a look.”

“It’s good to join the excitement.”

Xu Lihuang pushed up his glasses and nodded; he was also curious about what had happened there.

Immediately, the main group changed direction, preparing to head towards the beam of light where the Red Jade Pillar was located.

At this moment, Snow Feather did not move; its gaze was like an arrow, fixed on that eerie figure in the distance.

Lin Shu and Xu Lihuang also followed its gaze and soon saw that pale-faced man with a sinister expression.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Shu, his whites protruding, as if he were looking at a work of art.

This gaze made Lin Shu frown; he didn’t like this feeling.

It was as if he were a commodity.

Then, the strange man’s gaze turned to Snow Feather, looked deeply for a few moments, and then left their sight.

He bared his teeth at them, smiled chillingly, and nodded, then summoned a Snow Domain Wolf and disappeared among the rugged dirt roads.

The two humans and several beasts clearly sensed that this person was not simple; if not for Snow Feather’s formidable strength, a conflict would have been unavoidable.

Snow Feather’s gaze, however, remained fixed on that figure until it disappeared.

It smelled a strong scent of blood on him, a very potent smell, indicating he hadn’t been in contact for long.

This man gave it a very strange feeling; his aura was very weak, but his Mental energy was exceptionally strong.

However, as long as Lin Shu wasn’t threatened, nothing else mattered to it.

Lin Shu, meanwhile, remained in place, recalling the strange man’s expression.

Combined with the Snow Domain Wolf’s panel that had appeared for only a few seconds just now:

Name: Snow Domain Wolf

Level: Lv43

Level Cap: Lv88

Status: Master Deceased - Mental Control

Quality: Perfect

Attribute: Ice

Talent: None

Skills: Beginner - Claw Strike - Great Accomplishment (22/40) • Bite - Great Accomplishment (15/40)... Intermediate - Ice Fang - Minor Accomplishment (41/60) • Sudden Slash - Minor Accomplishment (26/60)... Advanced - Silent Snow Steps - Novice (33/80) • Frost Guard (11/80)

Master Deceased? Mental Control?

This made Lin Shu think of something: wasn’t this the Beastmaster version of body snatching?

Since Beastmasters primarily cultivate Mental power, Lin Shu thought it was not impossible to deduce such a secret art.

He thought of the Shentu Clan on the stone tablet earlier; it must have been someone from that family.

Looking at him with such greedy eyes, this person must have coveted his Talent and physical body.

These monstrous things should have vanished into the long river of time.

He immediately called out to Snow Feather,

“Snow Feather, go after that man!”

“Kill him!”

Lin Shu was decisive, intending to nip the danger in the bud; he didn’t like having such a dangerous person lurking in the shadows, targeting him.

The other party had clearly set their sights on him, so there was no need for further words.

Xu Lihuang was also stunned to hear this; it was a bit too decisive.

They didn’t even know the full situation yet.

Black Night Saturn and Ziyu, however, strongly approved, as they could feel their master’s somewhat uneasy Mental state.

Snow Feather also acted immediately upon hearing this, although it didn’t know why Lin Shu suddenly decided to kill.

But these were merely trivial matters.

The command it received was to obey Lin Shu’s instructions.

Immediately, it controlled its power, like a golden meteor, and chased after him.

At this moment, Shen Tu Wu Hong, running on the rugged path, was in a very good mood, having found a good target just by casually walking around.

Thinking of Lin Shu just now, he was very satisfied; such a Beastmaster Talent, even in the former Shentu Clan, would be considered of medium level.

This Great Xia was not as bad as he had thought, but unfortunately, there was a Beastmaster’s beast, almost at Spirit Origin, guarding nearby.

Otherwise, he would have directly taken him down and saved him for later use.

Once his Mental state was stable, he could choose a new body.

This current body’s Talent was too poor, only suitable for temporary use.

Just as he was contemplating his beautiful thoughts, his hairs suddenly stood on end, and danger signals kept coming.

This was information perceived by his powerful Mental energy.

The originally pitch-black surroundings suddenly became bright, and Shen Tu Wu Hong looked back.

He saw Snow Feather transform into a ball of light, coming like a thunderbolt, about to attack in an instant.

Shen Tu Wu Hong’s alarm bells rang; his always placid face was filled with shock and disbelief.

He had been discovered?

Absolutely impossible!

His thoughts raced like gears, and he immediately understood.

This child was truly ruthless; just a few glances, and he wanted to utterly destroy him!

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated, a resolute expression appearing on his face, thoroughly imprinting Lin Shu in his heart.

In the future, I will definitely seize this body of yours!

In an instant, he abandoned this hard-won body.

The cost of this action was considerable, causing irreparable damage to his soul.

This only deepened his hatred for Lin Shu.

He escaped in soul form, moving with lightning speed like a fleeting glimpse, piercing through the forest and instantly disappearing.

However, Snow Feather’s beam of light, like holy light, had no effect on his soul form.

Except for Mental and Lightning-type Beastmasters, other known attribute attacks simply could not harm him.

However, the Mental power of high-level beasts was slightly inferior to that of Beastmasters.

Under Pei Yuanfang’s training, Snow Feather also possessed a Mental attack, for unforeseen circumstances.

The vibrating Mental shock dissipated like ripples.

But Shen Tu Wu Hong’s soul form was as fast as lightning.

This left Snow Feather with power it couldn’t fully use.

On the ground, only a broken corpse and a dazed Snow Domain Wolf remained.

Snow Feather had controlled its attack well, not harming them.

It had only targeted the soul form.

Behind them, Lin Shu and Xu Lihuang arrived late and saw this scene.

Clearly, he had still managed to escape.

As expected of a noble among Otherworld races, he truly had many tricks up his sleeve.

Immediately, Snow Feather used its limbs to write the scene that had just occurred on the ground.

The entire process and scene were described without missing a single detail.

After reading it, Lin Shu was not surprised.

Xu Lihuang, however, changed color drastically, looking extremely grave.

Such a thing, only appearing in case studies in books, had actually happened before his eyes.

This matter could not be delayed; it had to be reported immediately.

If that Otherworld soul form escaped this Otherworld, it would be a huge problem.

He said decisively,

“Let’s go out and report the situation first!”

“This Otherworld is no longer safe.”

“This matter is extremely urgent!”

Lin Shu also understood the dangers involved, put away his beasts, and took the corpse and the still dazed Snow Domain Wolf.

Riding Snow Feather, he rushed towards the entrance of the Otherworld.

Black Night Saturn, by the way, killed a few noisy Bloodthirsty Bats...
