Beast Taming Starts with Ground Mushrooms

Chapter 62: Old Liu, the situation isn't good.

Amidst widespread attention.

In the primeval jungle, Lin Yi and Mushroom Boy had already ventured several miles deep. The entire jungle was eerie and strange, but the two of them had not yet encountered any Fallen Beastmen.

Lin Yi glanced back at Ge Tianming, who was keeping his distance, and felt a slight sense of security. Even if the other party wouldn't make a move, having him following behind was a comfort to him.

As they delved deeper, Lin Yi's nerves tightened to the extreme. This was a self-reactive response to an unknown danger. The first-tier, second-tier fallen battle beast posed a significant threat to Mushroom Boy and him. Unlike the battle beasts of beast tamers, these beast pets grew up in the law of the jungle, and those that survived were all victors in countless battles.

Therefore, Lin Yi kept a close watch on his surroundings, even deliberately suppressing the sound of his footsteps, like a cat walking cautiously in a secluded forest.

However, at a certain moment.

Just as Lin Yi lifted his foot slightly and continued forward.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, a sound of a dry branch snapping came from behind him. Lin Yi turned around and immediately frowned. Clearly, the sound did not come from him, but from Ge Tianming behind him.

This guy definitely did it on purpose.

In fact, the sound of Ge Tianming breaking the tree branch was not very loud, but in the already deathly silent primeval forest, it stood out exceptionally well, as if it could be heard clearly even from a hundred meters away.

Sure enough, the next moment.

"Roar~!"

A deep, muffled roar of a wild beast echoed through the dense jungle, followed by a second, a third, and three more deep growls coming from three different directions.

Lin Yi glanced at Ge Tianming subconsciously. The latter had already enveloped himself in extraordinary evolutionary power and landed on a thick tree trunk more than 20 meters above the ground with a few leaps, looking like he was ready to watch a show.

"Mushroom, get ready."

Pulling his thoughts back, Lin Yi could only treat the other party as if they were air and focus all his attention on preparing for battle.

A protective shield of extraordinary evolutionary power quickly rose from his body. His gaze was fixed on the depths of the dense forest. With his senses greatly enhanced, he could sense danger rapidly approaching from three directions.

a moment.

"Roar~!"

The dense jungle was torn apart, and three enormous creatures leaped out, appearing in the sight of the man and the beast. They landed in different places: one stopped behind Lin Yi, one landed on the exposed roots of a two-meter-thick tree on the right, its sharp claws deeply embedded in the roots and hanging diagonally on them, and the other landed on the low, dense forest on the left.

Lin Yi finally saw the appearance of the three fallen war beasts clearly. Their skin was like iron, their fur was thick and stiff, their bodies were burly and strong, their backs had prominent skeletons, their limbs were thick and powerful, and their muscle lines were full of explosive power. They resembled some of the evil wolves, but they were different. Their tails had a bony tail that was about three meters long and was as powerful as steel.

The three fallen war beasts all had blue faces and fangs, with dark vertical pupils that exuded a bloodthirsty and ferocious light. On their blood-stained four feet grew claws longer than Lin Yi's palm, their cold gleam chilling the soul.

One of them had a long scar on its face. As it grinned, the scar looked like a centipede crawling on it, wriggling and gushing blood.

"Fallen Netherworld Wolf?"

The moment Lin Yi saw the three fallen war beasts, he recognized them as a type of beast.

[Fallen Beastmen: Fallen Netherwolf]

[Department: Fallen]

【Attribute: Dark】

[Race Level: Intermediate Transcendent]

[Corrupted Skills: Bone Tail Strangulation, Bloodthirsty Metamorphosis, Frenzy, Pounce and Tear...]

As for their evolution level, it's not hard to tell from the extraordinary evolutionary power emanating from them: one is in the mid-stage of the first-tier second-level evolutionary form, and the other two are in the early stage of the first-tier second-level evolutionary form. Unlike the fallen beast race used for special training by Tiannan Beast Taming University, these ferocious beasts, which have survived in the jungle law for many years, carry a bloodthirsty and murderous aura.

As Lin Yi sized up the three Fallen Netherwolves, the other party was also scrutinizing the man and beast, their vertical pupils filled with killing intent.

At a certain moment... roar, the three Fallen Nether Wolves, as if in tacit agreement, suddenly pounced on Lin Yi without any unnecessary pause.

"Mushroom baby".

Lin Yi shouted, and the little guy on his shoulder leaped forward, charging directly at the strongest [Fallen Netherworld Wolf]. A sky-blue sword light, over twenty meters long, met the oncoming enemy beast.

At the same time, Lin Yi was also attacked by one of the Fallen Netherwolves. As the wolf pounced, he dodged to the side, barely avoiding its sharp claws. The Fallen Netherwolf passed by him, and just as Lin Yi thought he had dodged the attack, he suddenly felt a chill at his waist.

In a quick glance out of the corner of his eye, he saw a steel bone tail sweeping towards him, seemingly about to cut him in half. Before he could think, his body fell to the ground as the bone tail grazed past his ear, brushing against the shield of extraordinary evolutionary power on his body, causing a crack to appear in the shield.

Before Lin Yi could even feel relieved, a chill ran down his spine. He looked up in shock and saw another bony tail piercing through the void, hurtling toward the top of his head.

Using the extraordinary power shared with the mushroom, Lin Yi slammed his palm on the ground, his body suddenly springing up. Taking advantage of the moment he sprang up, Lin Yi grabbed the bony tail, his body being pushed backward by the terrifying inertia...

at the same time.

On the other side of Mushroom Boy… the moment the twenty-meter-long azure sword light slashed towards the strongest [Fallen Netherworld Wolf], terrifying extraordinary power rippled through the mountains and forests. The [Grass Character Sword Technique] at the Great Perfection level erupted!

Under Ge Tianming's watchful gaze... with a deafening roar, the sword light tore through the extraordinary defense of the Fallen Netherworld Wolf, slamming into the wolf and sending it flying. The wolf's body split in two, falling to the ground, splattering blood everywhere, its two halves trembling wildly.

"Holy crap?"

Ge Tianming exclaimed in surprise, his eyes undergoing a dramatic change, filled with disbelief.

A stern voice immediately rang in his earpiece: "Soldier No. 368821, silence is prohibited."

Upon hearing this, Ge Tianming quickly fell silent, but his gaze toward the ground mushroom gradually became one of utter shock.

At the same time, on Lin Yi's side, boom... two Fallen Netherwolves attacked. A sharp claw tore through the extraordinary shield that Mushroom Boy had erected for him, and the claw swept past Lin Yi's throat. He retreated frantically, clenched his fist with one hand, and punched the other Fallen Netherwolf with all his might, knocking it back, but it was difficult to cause fatal damage.

Although he received a brief boost of extraordinary power from the Mushroom Cub, he didn't have any beast pet skills. At most, he could only fight against someone of the same level. Unless the difference between the opponent and the Mushroom Cub was huge, it would be difficult for Lin Yi to kill one of them, and the possibility of two attacking at the same time was even smaller.

However, just as Lin Yi was preparing to engage in close combat again, suddenly, two azure sword lights fell, instantly slicing the two ferocious [Fallen Netherworld Wolves] in two, their scalding blood splashing onto Lin Yi's face.

The extraordinary protective shield erected by the mushroom seedlings had no effect on the blood.

Lin Yi was slightly taken aback. He wiped the blood from his face, turned his head to look at the little guy who had landed on his shoulder with the small sword in his arms, and was quite surprised.

"So easy?" Lin Yi was somewhat shocked by the little guy's terrifying power. In just a few breaths, three first-level and second-level [Fallen Netherworld Wolves] were dealt with?

Once Lin Yi realized what was happening, he became excited, as if he could see countless prizes.

"Wow, I'm rich, I'm rich!" He smirked as he subtly stored the three corpses of the Fallen Netherwolves into his spatial ring. These would be used as evidence to redeem his prize money, so he had to keep them safe.

One hundred heads is ten million, which translates to one head being one hundred thousand, so three hundred thousand is just like that?

What a depraved war beast, nothing special.

In Lin's eyes, they were all just bonuses.

After putting away his spoils, Lin Yi recalled his battle with the two Fallen Nether Wolves. He didn't feel sweaty or lingering fear; in fact, he felt a little...excited?

"You're awesome, Mushroom Boy."

After praising the little guy, Lin Yi casually tossed him a Super Evolution Fruit.

Having tasted success for the first time, both the man and the beast grew bolder. Lin Yi even felt that not only the mushroom cub needed training, but he himself also needed training.

"Mushroom, if you have any more later, save two for me so I can practice."

As the man and the beast talked, they began searching recklessly in the primeval jungle, seemingly reversing the roles of prey and hunter.

On the tree trunk, Ge Tianming stared blankly at the scene below, feeling quite uneasy. Although the rules didn't allow him to speak, they couldn't restrain his thoughts.

He looked at the man and the beast and couldn't help but swallow. What kind of weird combination was this? How could a ground mushroom be so weak in front of a [Fallen Netherworld Wolf] of the same level?

So... is it still a ground mushroom?

This kid is a bit strange.

While Ge Tianming was still in a daze, the boy had already begun searching recklessly in the primeval forest, even deliberately making noise to attract the surrounding Fallen Netherwolves. Before long, many low roars echoed throughout the forest, leaving Ge Tianming dumbfounded.

Realizing what was happening, he quickly started taking notes on his tablet, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

As Ge Tianming continued to register, the data in the training system began to refresh.

Meanwhile, atop the mountain, countless avian war beasts soared through the sky, circling above the training area. Beastmasters from all sides were constantly looking down, trying to find their own group undergoing training.

They all held a mobile phone in their hands, and the screen displayed real-time updates of their training data. However, at this moment, most of the data was still zero.

The page that many instructors at Tiannan Beast Tamer University were browsing was their own list of training experiences at the Beast Tamer University.

a moment.

"It moved! It moved! The data moved!"

"Someone encountered and killed the Fallen War Beast so quickly?"

Many instructors from Tiannan Beast Taming University quickly looked at the pages in their hands, only to find that the records were unresponsive and still all zeros.

"Where did it move? Nothing."

One tutor looked puzzled, staring at the senior students' experience data, which was still a whole page of zeros.

However, just as they were looking puzzled, a tutor immediately spoke up: "The new student page, it's on the new student page."

The instructors at Tiannan Beast Taming University were all taken aback by the sound. Most of them were browsing the pages of returning students, and few paid attention to the real-time updates of the new students' records.

The data from this city-wide training exercise was clearly updated in real time, and it was thoughtfully divided into numerous windows based on the profession and unit of the participating Beastmasters.

The instructors of Tiannan Beast Taming University naturally clicked into their own university's window page. Upon hearing this, everyone exited their respective senior student pages and clicked into the freshman training record page.

Soon, everyone saw that on the page where almost all the names were zero, a familiar name suddenly jumped up and appeared at the forefront of all the freshmen of Tiannan Beast Taming University.

"Who could it be? Xie Linzhou? Xia Zhiyu? Or Xu Heng and Song Yue?"

The first people that came to mind were the top students in the grade, but when they saw the name, many teachers were stunned.

"Lin Yi?"

Why is it this guy again?

Among the mentors who are also following the new student page are Su Guoan, Li Zhenbei, Liu Bochuan, and several other branch presidents of the Tiannan University Beast Tamer Association. Even Wang Jianghe and Li Lan are following it.

"Three Fallen Netherwolves? How could they be so fast?"

When all the data for the school's new students was still zero, the guy named Lin Yi not only had his data change, but it also went from zero to three.

"This kid really didn't disappoint." Li Zhenbei looked at the name that was temporarily ranked first and couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Bochuan nodded slightly: "Don't you even know whose student you are?"

Li Zhenbei: "You really know how to pat yourself on the back. What does this kid's strength have to do with you? It's something my Beast Tamer Association has poured resources into."

Liu Bochuan: "It proves I have good taste."

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. Su Guoan, who was not far away, subconsciously glanced at Liu Bochuan. "Hey Liu, are you saying that I, Old Su, am blind?"

Although the boy's name was the first to come up, most of the instructors were not too shocked. They could only say that the kid was lucky to be the first to encounter the Fallen War Beast.

Su Guoan carefully searched for the three names he was interested in: Xie Linzhou, Xia Zhiyu, and his daughter Su Shiyue.

But just as Old Su was searching for his daughter's name...

"It moved, it moved again, the data changed."

One of the mentors exclaimed excitedly, and Su Guoan quickly flipped through the list, subconsciously assuming that his three trump cards had also been brought up.

Unexpectedly, everyone was stunned when they saw the results of the data changes.

"Why is it still that same guy?"

The instructors at Tiannan Beast Taming University discovered that the data had indeed changed, but it wasn't because someone had rushed up. Apart from the number after that one name, the rest of the data on the entire page was still zero.

However, after the name "Lin Yi", the data changed from "3" to "4", followed by "5". Although the change was slow, it was gradually increasing.

"What's going on? Why is this data increasing so quickly?"

"Could it be a system problem? It doesn't seem like it."

For a moment, all the instructors at Tiannan University were baffled. The data fluctuations were abnormal. Even with the best of luck, it was impossible to encounter five Fallen War Beasts in such a short time, and even if they did, it was even more impossible to kill as many as five so quickly.

What baffled everyone even more was that the number was still slowly increasing, and everyone's expressions became strange.

On a certain avian-type battle beast, Liu Sheng and the other wealthy tycoons from the south had already seen that name. The bonus was only for freshmen, so their phone screens were always on that page; nothing else was worth their attention.

But as they watched the seemingly slow but actually astonishing data fluctuations, the expressions of the group of wealthy people gradually changed.

"Old Liu, something seems off."
