132: Chapter 132 Holy crap, there's a huge shipment!
"I don't know."
Wang Long replied very bluntly.
He easily saw through Yue Yun's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh softly. "Powerful skills often require Advanced Pet Beasts to unleash their true power. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Take Wang Long's Xiao Yue Tiger as an example.
With the same War Cry skill, the effect triggered by Miao Sang was limited, far from the majestic presence of the Xiao Yue Tiger.
The Racial Value of the Earth Spirit Cat was simply too low!
Awakening a super-strong skill for an Earth Spirit Cat was still too inconceivable and hard to accept for ordinary people.
Yue Yun, however, didn't care.
With the [Blood-Qi Sharing] talent, it was difficult for him to contract a second Pet Beast, so this opportunity for Targeted Skill Cultivation could only be used on Miao Sang.
Furthermore, Yue Yun didn't feel any regret at all about Awakening a super-strong skill for Miao Sang.
In fact, he thought it was incredibly interesting!
A cat with top-tier looks who could also fight like a beast—just thinking about it was exciting and full of potential for Yue Yun.
The sky grew brighter.
The Longzhou Beast Taming Group began their professional hunting.
Due to their lack of experience and relatively low strength, Xu Qingfang and the other two could only follow Chu Handeng to observe and learn.
Chu Handeng recalled Xu Qingfang using the Thunderwing Griffin for scouting and couldn't help but advise, "The Griffin's body is too large, and its normal flight speed is relatively slow. It's not suitable for scouting."
Xu Qingfang's face turned red upon being called out.
He explained, "Lacking a dedicated Scout Position was purely an accident!"
The Thunderwing Griffin following beside him glanced at Xu Qingfang, seemingly condemning its own Beast Tamer as well, clearly disagreeing with being treated as a mere scouting Pet Beast.
Griffins were the overlords of the sky, proud by nature.
Strong enemies would only trigger the ferocity within a Griffin, causing it to face challenges head-on and fight desperately rather than hiding away.
Xu Qingfang nodded subtly and reached out with a smile to stroke the brilliant golden down on the Thunderwing Griffin's head.
Chu Handeng looked at the Thunderwing Griffin with a hint of envy, but his gaze didn't linger long before returning to his Thunder-Sound Falcon.
He raised his arm to catch the Thunder-Sound Falcon, which was slightly larger than a normal falcon and had a more perfect, streamlined body.
Its yellow and blue coloration, resembling lightning patterns, wasn't particularly eye-catching, but it looked like a bolt of lightning when flying at high speeds. The tuft of feathers sticking high up on its head looked quite rebellious.
Chu Handeng smiled and reached out affectionately to press down on the Thunder-Sound Falcon's head, but he couldn't flatten that protruding tuft of feathers.
Yo!
The Thunder-Sound Falcon dodged Chu Handeng's hand with a mock-reproachful cry and spread its wings to soar into the clouds again, scouting the surroundings.
This time, his expression changed.
"Boss, there's a big catch ahead!"
Chu Handeng's expression shifted from curiosity to surprise, and then to an irrepressible ecstasy that made his face flush red.
Seeing the change in his expression, the members of the Longzhou Beast Taming Group were also pleasantly surprised, and even Xu Qingfang and the others got excited.
Something that could make Chu Handeng this excited was definitely a rare, high-value Pet Beast; otherwise, it wouldn't be called a 'big catch'.
Wang Long quickly followed up, "What kind of Pet Beast is it?"
Gulp!
A loud swallowing sound came from Chu Handeng's throat, and his tone was quite agitated. "It looks like an Earth-Vein Dragon Bear! It's about three hundred meters to the front-left. Judging by its size, it's a Four-Star!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Dragon Bear Pet Beasts weren't some stitched-together monstrosities; they were unique creatures with a composite concept, possessing the majesty and power of Dragon types and the sense of strength of Bear types.
This ultimate Pet Beast, a perfect Fusion of draconic majesty and the Aura of a terrestrial overlord, signified absolute power.
The potential rating of an Earth-Vein Dragon Bear could easily reach A-rank. Its passive connection to the earth veins gave it both offense and defense; thus, a Four-Star level could rival Five-Star Pet Beasts in certain aspects.
Wang Long didn't want to miss out on this Earth-Vein Dragon Bear, and the others naturally felt the same, immediately deciding to hunt this Pet Beast.
"Kids, find a place to hide!"
Wang Long looked at Xu Qingfang and the others seriously. "The Earth-Vein Dragon Bear is extremely powerful. We have to go all out to take it down, and we won't be able to look after you then."
The members of the Longzhou Beast Taming Group also nodded in agreement.
But Xu Qingfang and the others were somewhat reluctant.
This was a professional Beast Taming Group hunting a high-level Pet Beast. Not only could they learn something, but just witnessing such a powerful clash would be a feast for the eyes and make the trip worthwhile!
"Uncle Wang, we'll watch from nearby."
Yue Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and spoke with utmost seriousness.
Seeing this, Wang Long couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. He turned to Chu Handeng and asked, "Can we set a trap or drive the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear into a more suitable environment for hunting?"
"No, it's moving toward the front-left. We have to strike quickly to keep it from getting away!"
Chu Handeng shook his head repeatedly, his tone tinged with urgency.
The expressions of the group shifted, and Wang Long, looking just as serious, waved his hand and led everyone to press forward together.
Xu Qingfang and the others followed closely behind, afraid of missing out.
The Earth-Vein Dragon Bear's body was covered in layers of heavy black-gold scales. Along its spine, a row of menacing, dark-gold bone plates grew, resembling the silhouette of mountain peaks.
Its bear-like head resembled a dragon's and was full of majesty. A small pair of spiral dragon horns curved backward, buried within its brown mane.
Its upper limbs were scaled giant arms that combined dragon claw structures with bear-like strength, while its lower limbs were as thick as temple pillars. Its unique physique meant the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear didn't walk on all fours but moved bipedally.
Though it appeared hunched, it was nearly six meters tall, combining the structure of a dragon with the mass of a bear. Its entire body naturally radiated a heavy pressure that made the ground tremble slightly.
When the members of the Longzhou Beast Taming Group saw it, it also saw the group hurrying toward it.
"Roar—!"
The Earth-Vein Dragon Bear did not hesitate, instantly letting out a roar at the Longzhou Beast Taming Group, its demonstrative dominance surging outward in waves.
The roar, part-bear and part-dragon, echoed through the forest, immediately causing Pet Beasts to scatter in all directions and flying Pet Beasts to flap their wings and flee.
Even the Pet Beasts of the Longzhou Beast Taming Group were affected, instinctively pulling back their Auras and shifting into defensive stances, looking at this terrifying Earth-Vein Dragon Bear with great wariness.
Yo!
The Thunderwing Griffin's hawk-like eyes were as sharp as knives, piercing deeply toward the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear as it spread its wings in a threatening posture.
Wang Long and the others showed no fear. Their eyes, as they looked at the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear, were incredibly fervent, as if they were looking at a rare treasure that had suddenly appeared before them.
Infected by the Beast Tamers' Aura, the Pet Beasts who had been intimidated by the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear regained their powerful stances, their various strong Auras all locking onto the creature.
"It really is a big catch!"
Wang Long stared greedily at the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear.
Under his leadership and with the response of the others, numerous Pet Beasts led by the Xiao Yue Tiger launched a probing attack, firing several minor energy waves at the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear.
The Earth-Vein Dragon Bear stood firm like a true mountain, its massive figure soon submerged by the dense energy waves.
