70: Chapter 70 The Terrifying Beast Tamer
Tang Mo dodged to the side, raising his hand to cast a skill.
Tu Xiaoxia's voice suddenly came from behind the giant bear, "Tang Mo! Don't!"
Shortly after, Tu Xiaoxia darted out from behind the giant bear. Her face was covered in greasepaint, her clothes were caked in mud, and her eyes held a mix of joy and an indescribable wariness.
"Why are you here?"
"Are you also here to hunt down me and my father?"
Upon hearing this, the black giant bear beside Tu Xiaoxia immediately bared its sharp fangs, glaring fiercely at Tang Mo.
Tang Mo hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, I believe that neither you nor Uncle Tu are part of the Beast God Society, and I have already found the real culprits who framed you."
Hearing this, Tu Xiaoxia immediately became excited, "Really? You aren't lying to me, are you?"
Tang Mo handed the video recording on his phone to Tu Xiaoxia.
After watching what Zhao Hongfei said in the video, Tu Xiaoxia began to tremble all over. From her eyes, Tang Mo could see resentment, anger, and grievance.
"It really is those two heartless, ungrateful wretches. I will definitely not let them off!"
Tang Mo was stunned. The way Tu Xiaoxia spoke made it seem as though she had long known the true colors of Zhao Tianba and his son.
Tu Xiaoxia continued, "Do you remember the time I was surrounded by vicious beasts?"
Tang Mo nodded. Last time, Tu Xiaoxia had suddenly appeared in the jungle and was surrounded by vicious beasts. Fortunately, Tang Mo appeared in time to save her. It was also because of that incident that Tu Nie gave the key to the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm to Tang Mo.
"Actually, I was being hunted down last time, and I only ran into the jungle because I had nowhere else to go. I had hoped to use the vicious beasts to evade them, but I didn't expect to almost lose my life to them."
"It's a good thing you appeared in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have long since followed my mother to the grave."
After saying this, Tu Xiaoxia looked at Tang Mo with an expression full of gratitude.
This was the first time Tang Mo had heard Tu Xiaoxia mention her mother. It wasn't hard to tell from her words that her mother had likely already passed away.
This made Tang Mo think of his own parents. His situation seemed to be no better than Tu Xiaoxia's; his parents had disappeared for several years, yet he still had no news of them.
"Oh no, I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot. I need to hurry back and tell my father this good news."
"Come with me. It would be perfect to tell him the whole story, otherwise, he might not listen to me."
Tang Mo felt some doubt in his heart. If your old man won't even listen to you, would he really listen to me?
However, Tang Mo still set off with Tu Xiaoxia.
Feeling the oppressive aura radiating from the black giant bear beside him, Tang Mo couldn't help but think, could this be the Beast King that made the Soul-Devouring Tiger King tremble in fear?
This oppressive aura was indeed stronger than all those other Beast Kings combined.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo cast a Scouting Technique on it. Fortunately, this black giant bear seemed to have already been tamed.
[Arid Land Bear King] [Level: 90] [Talent: Infinite Strength] [Status: Tamed] [Strength: 7531760] [Agility: 3371420] [Spirit: 6452010] [Endurance: 77148000] [Skills: Mountain Moving (Lv90), Rock Spike (Lv90), Bear Dominates the World (Lv90), Bear Might (Lv90), Bear Paw Impact (Lv90), Earth-Shattering Strike (Lv90), Soul Confusion (Lv90), Endless Divine Shield (Lv90)]
"It's actually a Level 90 Bloodline Awakened vicious beast!"
Seeing the Arid Land Bear King's exaggerated attributes, Tang Mo was quite shocked.
If anyone could both fight and tank, it would probably be this Arid Land Bear King.
Just the Endless Divine Shield skill alone reduced 80% of the damage taken by the Arid Land Bear King, and this damage refers to any damage the Arid Land Bear King receives!
Tang Mo estimated that if he were to face this Arid Land Bear King, the chances of survival would be slim.
"I forgot to introduce him to you. This is Batu, the Beast King my father tamed."
"To tame it, my father even sacrificed his two favorite tamed beasts, and he himself was even injured by Batu."
"But fortunately, it wasn't too serious; he can already get out of bed and walk now."
"With this evidence, I believe we will be able to return to Jiangkou City very soon. Once we have professional healers in the city treat him, he will definitely recover even faster."
Being able to prove her father's and her own innocence made Tu Xiaoxia brighten up, although her voice was a bit hoarse, likely due to staying in the jungle for the past few days.
Tang Mo suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know Tu Nie's class, but seeing Tu Xiaoxia's current state, he didn't have the heart to disturb her further.
The two of them and the bear soon arrived at a much more spacious cave.
Along the way, Tang Mo didn't see any other vicious beasts. Tu Xiaoxia explained that this was because after Tu Nie tamed the Arid Land Bear King, he dismissed all of its original underlings.
This was also safer for Tu Xiaoxia.
In any case, having the Arid Land Bear King in the territory was enough to deter other vicious beasts and Beast Kings.
Within a few hundred kilometers of Jiangkou City, the highest level of vicious beasts was only around Level 90.
Tang Mo and Tu Xiaoxia walked into the cave and saw two large tents set up in an inconspicuous corner of the spacious cavern.
Hearing the commotion, a burly figure walked out of the tent, "Xiaoxia, why are you back so soon? Did you encounter any danger?"
Upon seeing Tang Mo beside Tu Xiaoxia, Tu Nie was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, "Hahaha, good lad, you actually have the guts to run all the way here! You really are someone I hold in high regard. Come over and sit!"
Looking at his shoulder wrapped in bandages and his empty right sleeve, Tang Mo felt quite uncomfortable.
This was what Tu Xiaoxia called 'a little injury'?
Tang Mo glanced secretly at Tu Xiaoxia and noticed that her eyes had already turned red.
"Hahaha, don't mind it. My class is Beast Tamer, so even without this arm, it has absolutely no impact on me."
As he spoke, Tu Nie pointed to the Arid Land Bear, "With this guy around, no one in Jiangkou City would dare to provoke me."
Tang Mo nodded silently, but he was incredibly surprised in his heart. Tu Nie was actually a Beast Tamer!
This Beast Tamer class was different from a Summoner. A Summoner learns skills to obtain summoned beasts to assist in battle, but a Beast Tamer uses their own skills to tame vicious beasts to fight for them.
Summoned beasts can be summoned again after they die, as long as the skill's cooldown time has passed. But it's different for beasts tamed by a Beast Tamer; if a tamed beast dies in battle, one must tame a new one to fill the vacancy.
Furthermore, the level of a vicious beast tamed by a Beast Tamer does not change; it still possesses the same combat power as before, directly saving the trouble of leveling it up. Of course, tamed beasts can continue to level up in the later stages.
In this way, the early-stage combat power of a Beast Tamer is ridiculously high. Moreover, a Beast Tamer can also gain a portion of strength enhancement by taming vicious beasts. Tu Nie saying it had no impact was likely just to comfort Tu Xiaoxia.
However, Tu Nie was right about one thing: with the Arid Land Bear King, he could definitely do as he pleased in Jiangkou City.
