107: Chapter 107 Beast Tamer Ye Fei (Pictures are here...)

Jiangcheng University, Trial Grounds.

Despair was spreading rapidly.

"Captain Chen, what should we do?"

Li Murou asked anxiously as she watched the scene.

"This place is too big, and the monsters are too scattered. I can't hold this much aggro!"

Chen Xi reached into his pocket for the flare gun Li Zhenhai had given him.

The cold touch calmed him down slightly.

"This is the city center; the military stations are all Outside the Border or in the suburbs. If I fire now, by the time they arrive, this place will probably have turned into a buffet."

Chen Xi calculated quickly in his mind.

Although the school's teachers were a bit slow to react, they were on campus after all and should arrive soon. The key now was to stall for time and minimize casualties.

"There's no other way."

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed as he stuffed the flare gun back into his pocket.

"At a time like this, we'll save as many as we can!"

"Mu Rou, Xiao Xiao, go all out! Gather the stray students around us!"

"Yes!"

Having decided on a tactic, the three members of the Nirvana Battle Team quickly became the battlefield's first responders.

*Zheng—*

Li Murou suppressed her nausea and fear, her fingers dancing across the strings.

Visible ripples of sound waves spread out, slowing and immobilizing all three ferocious beasts within a ten-meter radius.

While directing the battle, Chen Xi shouted instructions to the panicked students around him:

"Anyone who can still move! Run behind me!"

Under his command, the originally chaotic area miraculously stabilized.

However, there were simply too many ferocious beasts.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Chen Xi spotted a critical situation fifty meters to his front-left.

"Ah—!!"

A sharp female scream rang out.

A female Professional in white robes had accidentally tripped over some rubble while trying to flee.

From the two craters right behind her, two massive Flame Lizards crawled out simultaneously!

These beasts had clearly just landed, and hunger made them exceptionally frenzied.

One from the left and one from the right, they opened their bloody maws and lunged at the fallen girl with a gust of foul wind!

"Oh no!"

Chen Xi was startled.

The distance was too great; Su Xiaoxiao needed time to chant, and Li Murou was busy controlling the monsters behind them—they couldn't help.

"Damn it!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Xi kicked off the ground and dashed forward like an arrow from a bow.

"Hold on!"

He roared, trying to draw the two monsters' attention.

But he knew in his heart that at his speed, he probably wouldn't make it in time.

Those two bloody maws were less than a meter away from the girl!

The female Professional clearly realized this too.

She closed her eyes in despair, clutching her head and letting out a final scream as she crouched on the ground.

At that critical moment!

A fiery red figure suddenly burst out from the dust on the side.

It was a girl.

She wasn't wearing heavy armor, nor was she holding a magic staff or a sharp sword.

She wore only a simple set of dark red leather clothes, and her wavy hair, as bright as fire, danced wildly in the wind.

Facing two ferocious beasts capable of tearing through steel, she didn't flinch. Instead, she slid in front of the victim.

Then, she neither attacked nor defended.

She simply opened her arms, shielding the girl behind her.

She looked up, her bright eyes glaring intensely at the two oncoming behemoths.

"Stop!!"

The girl let out a crisp but authoritative shout.

Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat.

Is she crazy?!

Those are ferocious beasts! Do they understand human speech?!

In the next second, the scene of blood and gore that Chen Xi expected did not occur.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

*Screech—!*

The two Flame Lizards, which were already in mid-pounce with claws nearly touching the girl's cheeks, the moment they heard that shout or saw the red-haired girl...

...actually screeched to a halt!

Their sharp claws hovered less than ten centimeters from her face. In their vertical pupils, which were originally filled with tyranny and bloodlust, there actually appeared a hint of... confusion?

Followed by fear.

It was the instinctive fear and submission felt when facing a superior being.

"Woo..."

The two Flame Lizards let out low whimpers. Like puppies that had done something wrong, they actually slowly retracted their claws.

They took a deep look at the red-haired girl, then turned their heads without hesitation and ran off in another direction with their tails between their legs, searching for other prey.

"This..."

Chen Xi, who was mid-sprint to the rescue, skidded to a halt, his soles leaving two deep marks on the ground.

His eyes widened as he watched the scene in disbelief.

Seeing the beasts leave, the red-haired girl quickly turned to help the other girl up, saying urgently:

"Run! Don't look back!"

The female Professional, having narrowly escaped death, finally snapped out of it. She tearfully thanked her and scrambled toward Chen Xi's direction.

Meanwhile, the red-haired girl had no intention of running away.

She stood there, her red hair fluttering, watching the rampaging beasts around her with a complex gaze.

Standing not far away, Chen Xi's heart pounded.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and activated his skill on her back—

"[Card Affinity Reflection]!"

*Buzz!*

A data panel that only Chen Xi could see instantly unfolded above the girl's head.
