258: Intense battle against level 62 Beast Tamers!

Including him, a group of Beast Tamers retreated a great distance.

"Beast Taming Contract!"

"Beast, Summon!"

Under their summons, streaks of light soon appeared, and one beast after another was summoned from within their Divine Souls.

These Beast Tamers' beasts varied in size, including large ones, like the beast summoned by Chen Bao.

It was an earth-attribute beast that looked like a cross between a rhinoceros and a dog, standing three to four meters tall, while others were relatively smaller at about one meter high.

These were their Lifebound Beasts, and their Ranks were all above 40.

When the numerous beasts were first released, they all sensed danger, each one on guard and growling toward the building not far ahead.

"You, and you, contact the surrounding Beast Tamers and help evacuate the nearby residents together! Hurry!"

Several Beast Tamers received the order and quickly left with their beasts.

"President Consort Li! This is Section 17 of the West District!"

"We have discovered an anomaly; please send reinforcements immediately..."

"We're coming right now! What kind of beast is it?! What attribute?"

"Unclear, unclear, it has a special ability that can create an invisible dark environment!"

Chen Bao immediately picked up a communication device to report the situation, and precisely at that moment, the monster within the building's shadows moved.

In an instant, the beasts of Chen Bao and the others were terrified to the extreme, and even they, as Beast Tamers, felt that utterly horrific aura.

What kind of beast was that?

They had never seen it before, only feeling that its aura was somewhat like a king of the darkness, and its Rank was so high it likely exceeded everyone's imagination.

At this moment, Chen Bao and the others didn't even have the strength to move, standing there with pale faces as the beast within the shadows slowly emerged.

What was that?

In the deathly silent atmosphere, the group of Beast Tamers could hear the heartbeats of each other and their beasts; their hands began to tremble slightly.

It appeared!

With a few "da-da-da" steps, the creature, previously hidden in unpierceable shadows, finally revealed itself completely, stepping into the clear view of the Beast Tamers.

However, the moment it appeared, the group of Beast Tamers was stunned.

"Huh???"

"This? Is this right?"

"What kind of beast is this?!"

The group of Beast Tamers looked at it, questioning in confusion.

This was because the beast was less than half a meter tall, elongated in shape, had no feet, only two slender arms, and was a greyish-green color all over.

If one had to describe it, its appearance was more like a bamboo shoot from Planet Blue, with its two hands like two bamboo poles.

In its eyes, there was even a shy look.

"This..."

Chen Bao looked at the beast before him, somewhat at a loss for words.

What on earth is this?

Does this even count as a beast?

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like a newborn cub of some weak beast; besides, could it really fight? It didn't seem to have any lethality at all.

All the Beast Tamers reacted this way; in their eyes, this beast was surely harmless to humans and animals alike.

How could it possibly be a high-Rank beast with such a terrifying aura?

"Why can't it be found in the Beast Encyclopedia? Do any of you recognize it?"

Chen Bao looked at the people around him, but they all shook their heads.

The Beast Taming World is vast with a multitude of beast species, especially those of Epic grade rarity and above, which are very difficult to fully document.

Some beasts even lack appearances or descriptions, and there are plenty of incomplete encyclopedias that only list a name.

Therefore, it was reasonable that it couldn't be found in the encyclopedia.

Suddenly, the thoughts of the Beast Tamers were interrupted.

They saw the half-meter-tall beast suddenly raise its slender left hand, and countless powerful strands of Beast Spiritual Energy surged and converged.

Such a massive fluctuation of Beast Spiritual Energy had reached a level that left even Chen Bao dumbfounded.

"Its Rank is actually... Rank 62!!!"

What is it doing?

The Beast Tamers were bewildered, but before they could think further, the beast's left hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and then—Boom!!!

A world-shaking explosion rang out, and the ground began to vibrate violently.

Crack, crack, crack. Beneath the ground of Shenglan City, massive plant roots began to grow and extend in an eerie manner.

"What's happening!?" Chen Bao cried out in shock.

"Underground!!!" The Beast Tamers were astonished, for they could feel the earth trembling beneath their feet.

"What is that?!!" one Beast Tamer shouted in horror.

Just as the words fell, Bang! Bang! Bang! Countless sounds erupted.

In Section 17 of the West District, massive plant roots burst from the ground, each as thick as three people wrapping their arms around it.

Boom! Boom!

Buildings, streets, and countless houses were smashed and collapsed; the streets were destroyed, and the entire West District shook because of it.

The massive plant roots burst from the ground at a terrifying speed, and then those thick roots whipped around frantically, smashing into the ground and surrounding buildings.

Instantly, building debris and stones flew everywhere.

Before long, countless dense cracks appeared, spreading in all directions.

Numerous plant roots burst from the ground, covering almost the entire Section 17 of the West District and gradually extending elsewhere.

This single move turned half of Section 17 in the West District into ruins, instantly destroying countless trees, flowers, buildings, and houses.

Within the ruins, the number of dead and injured citizens was beyond count!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!!

Everyone watched the scene unfold in shock, not only because it happened so suddenly, but because the opponent's strength and brutality defied their imagination.

"What are you standing there for? Stop it at all costs!!"

Chen Bao was the first to react and shouted at the sight; the other Beast Tamers also snapped out of it.

One after another, they charged toward that beast.

However, before they could even get close, the massive plant roots around them blocked their way, preventing them from advancing.

Boom, boom, boom. The plant roots slapped toward them, protecting the beast like subjects surrounding an emperor.

The group of Beast Tamers immediately attacked the plant roots, and under their clearing efforts, most were soon removed.

But it was useless; the beast continued to summon more plant roots, frantically destroying the city.

During the battle, more Beast Tamers arrived to join the fight; however, the highest Rank among their beasts was only Rank 43.

Before a beast that was Rank 62 and of Legendary grade, they were somewhat outmatched.

But they had no choice; for the sake of Shenglan City, they could only brace themselves and charge...
