Chapter 32 Mutant Blade Mantis Beast!
Chapter 32 Mutant Blade Mantis Beast!
Zhou Xin had just put forward his idea when it was met with opposition from Rao Yizhong:
"No way! The strength of mutated void beasts at the fourth to sixth level of the second tier far exceeds that of mutated void beasts at the first to third level of the second tier. Even if Ayu and Ex can handle one or two, they absolutely cannot face dozens or hundreds of mutated void beasts at the same time."
"If we're unlucky and encounter a situation like yesterday, it will be dangerous," Rao Yizhong said with a worried expression.
"What does it matter?" Zhou Xin retorted.
"I have a Class D spaceship. If we really encounter dozens or even hundreds of mutated Void Beasts at the fourth to sixth level of the second tier, can't we at least run away if we can't defeat them?"
"Brother Yu," he looked at Chen Yu, seeking his opinion, "you decide, should we try going to the activity area of the second-tier, fourth to sixth level Void Beasts?"
Upon hearing this, Rao Yizhong also turned his gaze to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu paced back and forth, his mind racing with various details, before finally turning to the two of them and deciding, "Go!"
He explained, "I have the Crimson Flame Armor, so attacks below the third tier have virtually no effect on me. Even if we encounter a large number of second-tier, fourth- to sixth-level mutated void beasts, I can stay behind alone to cover the rear until you all enter the D-class spaceship before leaving together. I shouldn't be in any danger."
There was a reason why Chen Yu chose to agree with Zhou Xin's idea.
The human race's territory is too vast.
Even though humanity currently ranks only in the upper-middle range among the billions of intelligent races in the universe, it still possesses territories in 21 star systems and nearly 2000 million inhabited planets.
Yaoyang Star is the largest of all the planets in the human race, with a surface area a hundred times larger than Earth in Chen Yu's previous life, and a population of over 3000 billion.
Every year, hundreds of thousands, even millions, of new Beast Tamers are born on Radiant Sun Star.
Among these newly recruited beast tamers, quite a few definitely come from prominent families.
They received the best upbringing from their families from a young age, and Chen Yu was already far behind them at the start.
After learning from Zhou Zhan about the requirements for entering the Beast Taming Academy's elite class, Chen Yu had no reason to give up the opportunity to enter the elite class and receive strong support from the human race.
Therefore, he wanted to shorten the time to advance to the second tier as much as possible, so that he could improve his level in terms of comprehension, combat awareness, and willpower.
Even if it's just a day faster, it might be enough to get him into the elite class.
Seeing that Chen Yudu agreed with Zhou Xin's idea, Rao Yizhong had nothing to say, but still reminded him:
"Since you've agreed, A-Yu, I have no reason to object. However, you have to promise me." He looked at Chen Yu, his expression extremely serious: "If you and X encounter any mutated void beasts that you and X can't defeat, you must immediately evacuate on Brother Xin's D-class spaceship."
A warm feeling welled up in Chen Yu's heart, and he nodded earnestly to Rao Yizhong: "Okay, I promise you. If things don't look right, we'll evacuate immediately."
Standing between the two, Zhou Xin said enviously, "Brother Yu, I really envy your relationship with Ah Zhong. Even blood brothers probably wouldn't have a relationship like yours, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu laughed and said, "Aren't we good brothers like that now?"
"That's not the same at all. You still call me Brother Zhou Xin, which is obviously not as close as Ah Zhong." Zhou Xin really didn't have much of a brain and just said the truth.
Chen Yu immediately changed his address: "Then I'll call you A-Xin from now on. Don't call me Brother Yu either. Just call me A-Yu, like A-Zhong does."
Zhou Xin's eyes lit up: "Really?" His voice was tinged with excitement.
Is Zhou Xin about to completely integrate into this small team?
Chen Yu smiled and nodded: "It's true, brother."
"Haha!" Zhou Xin laughed out loud, "Then I'll call you A-Yu from now on." He looked at Rao Yizhong, "A-Zhong, you can call me A-Xin too."
Rao Yizhong didn't say anything, but smiled and gave an OK sign.
Seeing this, Chen Yu said to the AI computer, "Silly Girl, teleport us all to the area where the second-tier, fourth- to sixth-level Void Beasts are active."
A mature, older woman's voice immediately rang out: "Yes, Master, it's in progress..."
……
Time flew by, and more than twenty minutes passed.
Chen Yu and his two companions, along with their Void Beast partners, had been in the activity area of the second-tier fourth to sixth level Void Beasts for about 20 minutes when they finally encountered the first batch of second-tier fifth level mutated Void Beasts.
These are three mantis-like creatures, each about three meters long, with vestigial wings.
The mutated Blade Mantis Beast at the fifth level of the second tier possesses a speed exceeding that of an ordinary Blade Mantis Beast at the sixth level of the second tier. Its pair of sword-like forelimbs are sharp enough to split gold and shatter stone, and have an attack speed similar to instantaneous strikes.
For Chen Yu and Ex, the threat level of these three mutated Blade Mantis Beasts was even greater than that of ordinary second-tier, sixth-level mutated Void Beasts.
"Ah Xin, have Zhu You amplify Qing Luan's spirit. The Blade Mantis Beasts are already incredibly fast, and their souls have all been corrupted and eroded by heretics. A Yu and Ex might be at a disadvantage in terms of speed. I need Qing Luan to cast a speed-boosting skill on A Yu and Ex," Rao Yizhong said solemnly.
Zhou Xin immediately looked at the Zhuyou Beast.
The Zhuyou Beast nodded solemnly, opened its mouth, and spat out a white light towards the Wind Bird Beast Qingluan, which then merged into Qingluan's body.
The next second, the wind-bird beast Qingluan flapped its wings, and two beams of azure light condensed on the bodies of Chen Yu and Ex.
now.
Chen Yu and Ex stood in front of the two humans and two beasts, watching the three mutated Blade Mantis Beasts rapidly approaching from thousands of meters away. Both of them were filled with fighting spirit.
Chen Yu warned, "Ex, be careful. These three beasts have very sharp forelimbs. You don't have smart armor. If you get hit by them, you'll be seriously injured instantly."
X raised its two forelimbs, and with two "swoosh" sounds, claws shot out, and it said confidently and slowly:
"Don't worry, boss, my claws are just as good as theirs."
As he spoke, the heat condensed on his claws, and the air seemed to distort slightly.
It's too late to say.
In just a short while, three mutated Blade Mantis Beasts at the fifth level of the second tier appeared within a kilometer radius of the three people and three beasts.
Immediately, Chen Yu and Ex did not linger. They could not choose this place as the battlefield. Instead, they simultaneously stomped on the ground. With a loud "boom," the earth shattered into two craters. The figures of the man and the beast transformed into two straight beams of azure light, meeting head-on with the three mutated Blade Mantis Beasts rushing towards them.
fast!
too fast!
Whether it was Chen Yu and Ex, or the three mutated Blade Mantis Beasts, they all unleashed terrifying speeds that were inconsistent with their own levels.
The entire process took less than three seconds, and only two hundred meters remained between the two sides.
It was in that very moment.
White, high-temperature smoke billowed from the pores on X's spine. He opened his mouth and spat out a crimson, high-temperature ray at one of the mutated Blade Mantis Beasts. In an instant, it pierced through the last 200 meters and appeared in front of the mutated Blade Mantis Beast.
