Chapter 13: The First Combat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Under the cover of the night sky, there seemed to be electric currents flashing between the eyes of the man, the wolf, and the porcupine. The battle was about to start.

As a low-level species, porcupines had a few characteristics in “Wild Beastmaster.” The first was that they didn’t have a high level of intelligence and generally acted on instinct.

Its attack method was relatively simple: it basically relied on its fangs to attack. Occasionally, it would use the skill Thousand Needles, which would shoot out the sharp hair on its back and cause piercing damage to the enemy. This skill had a large range, but its power could not be underestimated.

For familiars of the same level, most of them wouldn’t be able to penetrate their opponent’s fur and would only delay their movements to a certain extent. However, to beastmasters, the damage was rather fatal. After all, low-level beastmasters didn’t have any defensive methods.

Once Zhang Xuan got close, he would receive substantial damage. In the past, some beastmasters were accidentally riddled with holes by the Thousand Needles when fighting porcupines, dying from excessive blood loss.

Little Moon had already stood up, her silver fur glimmering under the moonlight. She bared her teeth and whimpered, staring at the porcupine that had already walked out of the bush, her eyes flashing with the desire to fight.

The porcupine was about two meters long, and its thick legs were covered in hair. Even so, the strong muscles under the hair could still be seen. It had a body of brown-gray hair, and the spikes on its back stood upright, their tips flashing with a sharp silver-white luster.

It was obvious that it had entered a state of alert, ready to attack at any moment. It exuded a wild aura, which was exactly what Little Moon lacked.

The fist-sized hoof scraped the grass as it gathered its strength. After a few breaths, it charged at Little Moon.

Compared to Little Moon’s eagerness to try, Zhang Xuan was extremely calm. He analyzed the wild boar’s movements and suppressed Little Moon’s impulse in his mind. When the wild boar was within a certain distance, he ordered Little Moon to charge forward while he moved to the side to attract attention.

While Little Moon was cultivating, he had not fallen behind. Now that he was at Qi Gathering level 1, he wanted to test out his own strength.

As for Little Moon, she didn’t have to worry too much. The wild porcupine was probably at the bronze level 5, so it couldn’t even scratch her skin. The most important thing was to let Little Moon regain the wild nature of a familiar in this battle.

In a battle between familiars, the decisive factor wasn’t the strength that was raised through the familiars’ materials, but their combat experience and instincts.

Combat instincts could allow a familiar’s perception and reaction speed to be faster, while combat experience could provide a more cost-effective solution to this perception and reaction.

For example, the porcupine’s intelligence level wasn’t high, but its instincts could tell it who was the most threatening and where to attack. It wasn’t distracted by Zhang Xuan, who was charging to the side. Its eyes were fixed on the Silver Moon Wolf in front of it.

This was the most important enemy. If the Silver Moon Wolf got close, it would die!

So, when it was about the same distance as Little Moon, it stomped its feet and activated Thousand Needles. The long fur on its back shot out like a storm, and the silver tip of its tail glowed with a sharp white light under the bright moonlight, covering the sky and earth as it tried to envelop Little Moon.

Little Moon felt a slight sense of danger, but she did not stop. She twisted and turned among the countless silver needles, finding a path in the dense white hair that was unscathed. She pounced on the porcupine without slowing down.

“Alright!” Zhang Xuan’s eyes lit up.

Experience and instinct were accumulated through experience, but what could speed up the accumulation?

Talent!

Little Moon’s battle talent was undoubtedly very strong, and it was being trained at this critical moment. Zhang Xuan originally thought that no matter how Little Moon dodged, she would at least be hit by a few needles.

However, he did not expect Little Moon to be able to do it so easily. She passed through thousands of needles without a single one touching her. What an amazing fighting talent!

Zhang Xuan clenched his fists, and his heart was filled with excitement.

At this time, seeing that its skills were completely dodged by the other party, and that the other party was getting closer and closer, the porcupine began to panic and kept using skills to force Little Moon back.

However, Little Moon was getting better. Not only did she not slow down, but she even sped up after getting used to it. Seeing Little Moon getting closer and closer, the porcupine’s red eyes began to flash with fear.

It wanted to escape!

Zhang Xuan, who had been observing the battlefield, naturally noticed this opportunity. “Little Moon! Use Wind Blade!”

But just as the porcupine turned back slightly, Zhang Xuan shouted, “Stop!”

The air around Little Moon suddenly became cold. The night wind seemed to be attracted by something, and it condensed into a half-moon wind blade in front of her.

Under the porcupine’s despairing gaze, the wind blade whizzed past, passing through the porcupine’s body and continuing to run into the distance. After sweeping away the bushes ten meters ahead, it had just used up all its energy and turned back into wisps of night wind, dissipating into the air.

After a second or two, the porcupine, which was standing on the ground, was cut in half from the middle. After the upper half slid to the ground, the lower half also fell to the ground sideways. It was as dead as it could be. The cut was as smooth as a cut of a bush.

All of this happened within ten seconds. Just like that, a bronze level 5 porcupine had lost its life.

“Hahaha! Way to go, Little Moon!” Zhang Xuan grinned. The power of the Wind Blade was simply shocking. One had to know that porcupines were known for their thick skin, but under Little Moon’s wind blades, they were so weak.

And looking at Little Moon’s current state, she didn’t even use much strength. She didn’t even breathe when she cast the wind blade.

Even though the Silver Moon Wolf had the advantage of fighting at night, its combat strength was still impressive, especially the unparalleled talent that Little Moon had displayed during the battle.

Hearing Zhang Xuan’s voice, the violence in Little Moon’s eyes faded, and she returned to her innocent self. This battle and the smell of blood slowly awakened the wildness hidden in her genes.

Little Moon, who had been praised, rushed to Zhang Xuan with happy steps. She pushed him to the ground and started licking him. They could both feel each other’s joy.

Zhang Xuan also laughed and stroked Little Moon’s head. The more he looked, the more satisfied he was.

However, Little Moon suddenly stopped, her ears once again expressing her vigilance.

Zhang Xuan’s expression turned serious. The sound of footsteps lingered in their ears as red-eyed and muscular figures flickered around them.

There was more than one porcupine!Zhang Xuan roughly estimated that there were ten of them!

However, they weren’t panicking. After the previous battle, Zhang Xuan had a rough understanding of Little Moon’s combat strength.

“What do you mean, Little Moon? I’ll leave it all to you?” Zhang Xuan smiled.

“Aowu!” Little Moon raised her head and let out a long howl at the half moon above her head. The pressure of her bloodline mixed with the excitement of her upcoming massacre quickly spread in the air.

In just one minute, the ten porcupines followed in the senior’s footsteps.

The insects in the air were so scared by the blood that they stopped chirping. In the endless wilderness, there was only the sound of the night wind and the wolf howls of victory. It was soul-shaking.

To ensure that the mission was completed, Zhang Xuan chose to stay for a few more days. After dealing with the porcupines that appeared, he returned. He had to admit that it was tiring, even though the mission was so simple.
