65: Beastmaster

The next day, as dawn broke, Prosperity set off.

The Earth Lizard Dragon, refreshed after a night's rest, was full of vigor, leading the way.

Lin Ye and Chen Ou followed closely as usual.

"How much further is it?" Lin Ye asked Bai Zhiqing.

"Yesterday, we covered about two-fifths of the journey. If we push ourselves today, we might be the first to reach our destination," Bai Zhiqing replied.

"That fast?" Zhao Wenlong was surprised.

"It's normal. Without the burden of the packages, our travel speed is definitely among the fastest," Chen Ou said.

"Everyone, look! There's a team in front of us," Wang Mengmeng, who was best protected while sitting on the lizard, didn't need to be on alert and had a high vantage point.

So, while she was boredly surveying her surroundings, she discovered this small team.

Lin Ye quickly stood on the lizard's head.

"It's the Avengers Alliance. How are they faster than us?" Lin Ye was puzzled.

Their marching speed was actually slower than the Avengers Alliance team.

What was surprising was that the Avengers Alliance team was getting along well with a group of wild oxen.

The members were all riding on the oxen's backs, and with the herd escorting them, they were unstoppable.

"They can actually control so many wild oxen."

"It must be that Beast Tamer."

Beast Tamer, a profession with highly variable strength.

Besides having a Contract slot for a destined beast, they can also tame exotic beasts through affinity and beast-taming skills.

Although tamed exotic beasts cannot share abilities and talents like destined beasts, and communication isn't as convenient, there's no limit to their number.

A good Beast Tamer can tame giant dragons, possessing formidable combat power, but a poor one can only tame ordinary exotic beasts, the difference between them is naturally unimaginably vast.

Lin Ye knew this Beast Tamer, a substitute for the Avengers Alliance.

According to the data, he seemed unremarkable; being a substitute, and with the two terrifying BOSSes of the Avengers Alliance team, he basically had no chance to appear.

His destined beast was also not good, a very ordinary exotic beast, only at ordinary sixth-tier strength.

But he didn't expect his affinity to be so terrifying; this kind of soft power would never be listed on paper.

"It seems difficult to surpass them."

"With the ox herd for protection and transportation, plus two BOSS-level big brothers leading the team, this plain is a breeze for them."

Lin Ye and his team sighed with emotion.

Having substitutes is comfortable; they can easily handle various situations, but unfortunately, their team's two substitutes were just there for show, only at fifth-tier strength.

The two of them naturally came along to gain experience, as it was rumored that the corporation had plans to reassign them to the second team.

The Avengers Alliance also saw them, but showed no reaction, each going their own way.

Harming opponents was forbidden, and the strength of Lin Ye's team was not really taken seriously by them.

"What do you say about following them?" Zhao Wenlong smirked.

Lin Ye slapped his head, "That's right! With them leading the way, other predators basically hide far away, and herbivorous exotic beasts show no reaction. It's much safer than going alone."

"Wenlong, were you possessed? How did you suddenly get smart?"

"Not simple, not simple, the decaying brain finally started working."

"Hahaha, that's a good idea!"

His teammates all nodded.

The Avengers Alliance moved very quickly, and ordinary teams really couldn't keep up, as the Earth Lizard's speed wasn't fast when carrying a load.

But Lin Ye and his team could still keep up.

The opposing team also noticed their opportunistic behavior.

"Oh, damn it, Helena, these yellow-skinned monkeys from the Summer Country are truly shameless," the dark-skinned Johnson was very displeased with Prosperity's behavior.

Their captain, the Scarlet Witch Helena, frowned, "Johnson, as a public figure, do not make such discriminatory remarks."

Helena felt nothing about Prosperity's actions; as a seasoned veteran of the arena, she was well-traveled and knowledgeable.

Johnson chuckled, shrugging his shoulders.

The Beautiful Country is known as the land of freedom, respecting human rights; you can break the law, but you cannot discriminate.

Breaking the law might even gain sympathy and have charges dropped, but discrimination is politically incorrect and will be despised by everyone.

"Hahaha, what I mean is, they are truly a group of adorable clever little devils."

His teammates secretly scorned him; who didn't know that Johnson loved to discriminate against people the most?

But they were all adults, so they all echoed Johnson.

Lin Ye and his team naturally couldn't hear them.

They were happily taking advantage of the situation from behind.

Finally, as night fell, they reached their destination.

Originally, Lin Ye and his team had discussed surpassing the Avengers Alliance to be first, but after some discussion, they thought that with the opposing side having a beast group, a slight obstruction would prevent them from surpassing them.

Moreover, there was no significant difference between second and first, so there was no need to offend the Avengers Alliance.

There were still several rounds to go.

After completing registration, cargo verification, and a series of other tedious tasks, both teams returned to Blue Star.

"Hi, I'm Helena," the mature and beautiful Helena proactively came over to greet them.

Having retrieved their optical computers, everyone could understand foreign languages with automatic translation.

The people of Prosperity were very surprised, not knowing what she meant.

Chen Ou, as the captain, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Helena, may I ask what brings you here?"

Helena smiled charmingly; the Scarlet Witch had a professional charm bonus, making her very alluring, "I just wanted to get to know you all. Are you interested in a drink?"

Everyone was puzzled; their team's strength was far inferior to the Avengers Alliance, so they didn't know what made them worth getting to know.

But they all agreed.

Although they were from opposing nations, humanity on Blue Star was one; the opposition was political, not to the extent of never interacting again.

After informing their team leaders, they booked a banquet with the Avengers Alliance at the Reliable Hotel.

It was a Western-style banquet.

The Avengers Alliance hosted, inviting many bands and dance troupes to liven up the atmosphere.

Prosperity was even more confused; what was this for?

Lin Ye was secretly vigilant; an unsolicited favor indicates ulterior motives.

He had deeply understood this principle in his previous Life, a truth he learned after being deceived several times.

But the other side seemed genuinely only interested in getting to know them.

Johnson seemed to have some interest in the elegant and mature Bai Zhiqing, approaching her to show his attention.

Zhao Wenlong was somewhat displeased and went to cause trouble.

Lin Ye and a Caucasian Fighter from the opposing side were having a very pleasant conversation.

Fighter is a common profession, but it specializes in attacking humans, or rather, not just humans, but all humanoid Life forms, so it also has a place in professional arenas, unlike other ordinary professions that cannot even enter the arena.

"Lin, you truly are a genius. You don't know how much our coach admires you. You are destined to shine brightly in the professional arena in the future," Jack exclaimed.

"Oh, no, Jack, you are the true genius. To cultivate Fighter to such a degree is truly unheard of." Mutual flattery is a basic adult skill.

However, Jack was indeed very strong; all of his Fighter-related abilities and skills were fully mastered.

Although it was partly because the Fighter template's abilities were relatively easy to practice, Jack's genius was still undeniable.
