140: Chapter 140 Good News, the Rumors Are True
The sky was gray and bright.
Wang Long woke up Xu Qingfang and the other two, and Chu Handeng's Thunder-Sound Falcon rose high into the air, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
The group quickly got up and washed, continuing to hunt for suitable Pet Beasts in the Danger Zone. Before long, they encountered another Beast Taming Group.
This group, which exuded a powerful Aura, was called the Giant Bear Beast Taming Group.
Every member of this Beast Taming Group was a Four-Star Beast Tamer, and their leader, Zhao Linchuan, had been a Four-Star Beast Tamer for several years and was on the verge of advancing further.
Zhao Linchuan was not surprised to see Wang Long and his group. After a casual greeting, his gaze shifted to Xu Qingfang and the other two, and the expression on his face could not help but show some emotion.
"Wang Long, are you hiring child labor?"
Faced with Zhao Linchuan's questioning, Wang Long's old face darkened.
He immediately explained at a fast pace: "These three are students from Jianghai Second Middle School. They were bold enough to sneak into the Danger Zone. I was afraid they would run around and get into an accident, so I brought them along with me."
Zhao Linchuan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
Under the guidance of the Beast Tamer Association, Senior Beast Tamers often took care of younger Beast Tamers, and this was even the case in Secret Realms where one was responsible for their own life and death.
Therefore, Zhao Linchuan was not surprised that the Longzhou Beast Taming Group was taking care of Xu Qingfang and the others; rather, he was surprised that the Longzhou Beast Taming Group actually dared to bring these three students into the Danger Zone of the Secret Realm.
The members of the Giant Bear Beast Taming Group were also full of wonder, and they all turned their gazes toward the three, looking them over carefully.
Exposed to everyone's gaze, the thick-skinned trio was not embarrassed at all; instead, they took the initiative to greet them.
"It's been a long time since I've seen people this bold!"
Zhao Linchuan sighed with emotion. He didn't expect the three students in front of him to dare to break into the Danger Zone, and even be brought into the depths of the Danger Zone by Wang Long. They really were newborn calves unafraid of tigers.
"Are you Yue Yun?" He thought for a moment, and that tall, slender figure overlapped with the one in his memory, reminding him of the Campus Championship winner who pioneered a new school of Beast Taming.
That person happened to be a student at Jianghai Second Middle School.
Yue Yun, having his identity recognized, nodded, and immediately after, Xu Qingfang's identity was also recognized, which made the two of them secretly pleased.
To become famous at the youngest, most vigorous age, and to bring back that unforgettable glory of youth—how could it not make one proud?
Zhao Linchuan nodded and shifted his gaze to Wang Long, changing the subject.
"Looking at you all, you must have had quite a harvest."
Although the Beast Taming Groups in the Secret Realm were of high quality and would not fight each other for spoils, they usually wouldn't ask about the other party's spoils like this, as it was very impolite.
However, the Longzhou Beast Taming Group and the Giant Bear Beast Taming Group knew each other and had cooperated in hunting many times, so they didn't have so many scruples.
"If there's any big haul, remember to call your brother!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget."
Wang Long responded and turned to leave.
The Xiao Yue Tiger beside him suddenly straightened its body, moving quickly to protect its Beast Tamer. Its majestic, fiery golden tiger eyes were filled with solemnity, and it let out a low, intimidating growl unconsciously.
The other Pet Beasts also made their own moves, doing their best to release their powerful Auras, their expressions tense as if facing a formidable enemy.
Miao Sang, who had been sleeping soundly on top of Yue Yun's head, woke up. It looked as if it had seen some terrifying existence and curled up into a ball in fear.
Yue Yun frowned: "What's going on?"
He took Miao Sang down and held it in his arms, freeing his right hand to grip the cold iron long spear. He became serious, his Aura sharp as a sword.
Zhao Linchuan raised his hand to his waist with a solemn expression, while simultaneously commanding the Vajra Bear, known for its defense, to stand in front of everyone, protecting them behind its broad body.
He didn't forget to joke: "Wang Long, it looks like a big catch is coming. We can't avoid cooperating again!"
Wang Long didn't answer but stared fixedly ahead.
The ground trembled slightly, and a massive black shadow rushed over. The thick trees along the way were easily smashed, kicking up a sky-covering cloud of dust and smoke.
The true face of this black shadow was quickly revealed. Its body surface resembled ancient, weathered rock, and its powerful body exceeded fifteen meters, looking like an exquisite ancient Dragon sculpture.
No, this was a Dragon!
Its whole body was a mountain-like blue-gray, and its patchwork scales had natural rock layer textures and crystal clusters. Every move it made exuded a terrifying sense of power.
"Run!"
Zhao Linchuan and Wang Long said in unison.
The group, which had been gathered together, suddenly scattered, narrowly dodging the Dragon-type Pet Beast that had rushed right in front of them.
Earth Vein Giant Dragon, potential rating: A!
Its Dragon eyes, which were the same color as its body, turned, and near-tangible anger fell upon everyone, making them feel chilled to the bone.
Only then did everyone look closely and see small gravel and dust circling around the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, as if it were a walking ancient mountain range.
"Damn, where did this Dragon come from?"
Zhao Linchuan was extremely surprised.
Rumors of Dragon-type Pet Beasts in the Cangyuan Secret Realm had long existed, but he didn't expect to see one with his own eyes today, and it was an Earth Vein Giant Dragon, a Dragon-type Pet Beast that combined both attack and defense.
However, rumors said that Dragon-type Pet Beasts never left the core area.
Zhao Linchuan suddenly asked: "Are you familiar with it?"
Everyone was full of astonishment upon hearing this.
Wang Long's mouth couldn't stop twitching.
Without any hesitation, the Earth Vein Giant Dragon didn't use any skills; its thick Dragon claws swept across the ground.
"Damn, it's really damn enthusiastic!"
Zhao Linchuan muttered, his figure retreating violently again.
Whether it was Zhao Linchuan, Wang Long, or the others in the Beast Taming Group, none of them had any thoughts of resisting the Earth Vein Giant Dragon's attack.
The Earth Vein Giant Dragon's Aura was undoubtedly revealed, far exceeding the strength of a Four-Star or even a Five-Star Pet Beast; it had already reached the strength of a Six-Star Pet Beast.
Good news: the rumors had some truth to them.
Bad news: the rumors were too true.
If it were the strength of a Five-Star Pet Beast, even a Pet Beast as powerful as the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, both Zhao Linchuan and Wang Long would have gritted their teeth and fought, but it happened to be the strength of a Six-Star Pet Beast.
Wang Long made a prompt decision: "Find a chance to run!"
The Earth Vein Giant Dragon's attack missed. Its blue-gray Dragon eyes swept over the scattered crowd and finally stared fixedly at Yue Yun.
Yue Yun trembled all over.
The Martial Artist's instinct was fiercely stimulated, as if a poisonous snake had locked onto him from the shadows. The next moment, it suddenly opened its blood-red maw, bared its fangs, and bit viciously toward Yue Yun.
He looked up at the Earth Vein Giant Dragon, just happening to meet those blue-gray Dragon eyes, seeing the near-tangible anger.
"Damn it!"
Alarm bells rang in Yue Yun's heart.
Undoubtedly, the Earth Vein Giant Dragon had its eyes on him.
The small gravel and dust circling the Earth Vein Giant Dragon surged continuously, and a Domain, homologous to the Earth-Vein Dragon Bear, suddenly expanded, enveloping everything within a few miles.
Everyone's waists sank, their faces turned liver-colored, and the immense pressure they were bearing was visible to the naked eye.
The Earth Vein Giant Dragon's thick Dragon claws reached out, pressing down toward Yue Yun, covering the sky and the sun. The terrifying wind pressure even cracked the space, as if it wanted to crush the tiny human in front of it into meat paste.
Hum!
The Vajra Bear's violent Aura exploded. A dark golden luster covered its body as if it were indestructible, and its broad, ball-like body sprang up to block the Earth Vein Giant Dragon's attack for Yue Yun.
