Super Beast Tamer - Chapter 35
Chapter 35: Another Visit To Treasure Cove. Took The Initiative To Challenge Others
After turning many corners, they finally reached a relatively secretive place.
From the outside, Treasure Cove was still as rustic and simple.
But as soon as one entered the place, they would be immediately drawn into the strange atmosphere, finding it difficult to extricate themselves.
Liu Ran deliberately kept a low profile. After all, he had come to find a pet. He did not want to end up like the previous time where his Evening Moon Vine’s passive skills book had been taken away by others.
Compared to him, Chen An was more collected. His eyes scanned the surroundings, and the system worked hard to identify other beasts.
He had to admit that Treasure Cove was indeed full of treasures.
The people that walked about carried beasts that were at least medium-grade and higher.
After seeing countless beasts, Chen An’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had found it!
The beast that the person right in front of him had was what he had in mind—the Wind-Dwelling Egret!
Chen An looked at that person’s back. She was of a smaller frame and was shorter than Chen An. She had long flowing hair, and a small bell hung around her thin waist, making slight sounds as she moved.
She was a young lady. Judging from her appearance, she was not afraid of drawing attention to herself. She walked about the Treasure Cove in a high-profile manner. She did not seem to have a target in mind but was only looking around, treating it as an auction.
Chen An walked forward quickly and reached out to pat her shoulder.
The young lady turned around. She had an extremely adorable face.
She was smiling, with cute dimples on both sides of her cheeks. “Are you here to challenge me?”
There was no doubt that even though she was shorter than Chen An, she did not show a trace of fear. Instead, she seemed to be expecting someone to take the initiative to challenge her.
Liu Ran was exasperated. Chen An went to provoke others when he was not paying attention. He looked to be in agony and regretful as he hurriedly walked over. “Sorry, my buddy is—”
“Let’s follow Treasure Cove’s rules.” Chen An interrupted Liu Ran.
Liu Ran could not stop him in time. He clutched his head, sensing a headache acting up. Everyone in Treasure Cove had undiscovered talents. He could not figure out why Chen An would take the initiative to challenge them.
Although the other party seemed like a harmless young lady, he should not be rash as well.
“Really? My name is Feng Ling, don’t underestimate me.”
“I won’t underestimate you.” From the system, he could tell that this young girl’s Wind-Dwelling Egret was a high-grade beast, embedded with a high-grade wind attribute attack spirit core.
Its passive skill was Wind-Dwelling. It could strengthen one’s control of wind attribute attacks.
She carried a skills book: Commanding the Winds and Clouds. It would launch continuous wind attribute damage to the target, with a short-range repelling effect. During this period, the second stage of attack could be launched to immediately stagnate the target, temporarily depriving the target of any action.
No matter how he looked at it, the young lady was not to be underestimated.
Feng Ling smiled sweetly and tilted her head in front of Chen An. “Don’t blame me for bullying you.” Her earrings with little bells jingled.
It was still not certain who would be at a disadvantage.
Regardless of Liu Ran’s persuasion, Chen An and Feng Ling stepped onto the battle stage one after another.
Both parties confirmed their bets. Feng Ling seemed like a child who was up to great mischief, demanding an exorbitant price. If Chen An lost, his beast would belong to her.
Chen An’s request was to extract passive skills from the Wind-Dwelling Egret after winning.
Feng Ling rolled her eyes. “Little Brother, let me remind you. Even for the strongest Skills Book Creator, many skills are impossible to extract and create. So far, no one can create a skills book from my Wind-Dwelling Egret. If this doesn’t work—”
“You don’t have to worry about this.”
Chen An had already figured out the Skills Book Creators’ limitations.
One could not extract and create the skills of beasts that they could not carry. This was the same for super-grade beasts and Joint Combos. In addition, just as Feng Ling had said, there was another limitation based on the individual differences of Skills Book Creators and beasts.
There were many limitations.
Liu Ran kept sighing under the battle stage, thinking that Chen An would definitely lose. Even if he won after all the hardships, he would not be able to get the skills book.
Anyway, it was a loss.
The people watching the battle were discussing among themselves. “I haven’t seen anyone who sells the skills book of Wind-Dwelling Egrets. It seems impossible to create it.”
“The skills are good, but they cannot be created.”
“This person must be crazy to challenge Feng Ling and make such outrageous demands.”
Feng Ling was kind of well-known in Treasure Cove. She was smart and adorable. When she had first arrived, people had been under the impression that she was a young lady who knew nothing about the world, and they had wanted to take advantage of her.
In the end, all those people had been taught a lesson by her. With the Wind-Dwelling Egret’s help, Feng Ling had become one of the Beast Tamers in Treasure Cove that no one dared to challenge.
Chen An was the first person to challenge her after what had happened back then.
Strong winds were blowing on the battle stage, and at the center of the hurricane, the egret spread its wings high. Its chirping sound was clear and long-lasting.
Dou Buxiang emerged with a rose-colored Boulder Flower on its feet. Its appearance had changed once again. Its pupils were no longer as dim and dull as before. Instead, they had become menacing like a cat’s eyes.
When the head was lowered, those eyes seemed to be observing its prey, getting ready to attack.
The hemline of the young lady’s skirt swayed in the wind. “Your beast seems to be very special.” Her expression became serious. She could estimate the strength of the other party before she made a move. She seemed to be very experienced.
However, Chen An would not be merciful just because she had an adorable face. If he wanted to win, he must suppress her beast as soon as possible.
Dou Buxiang dashed and sprinted, making a charge toward Feng Ling.
Feng Ling was obviously taken aback. “I thought it was a cute little kitten. I didn’t expect it to be a ferocious little wild cat.”
Her fingertips were like turning ropes, pulling out a few pure white thin threads, which seemed to be able to understand her, winding in different directions.
It did not take long for her to create barriers, blocking Dou Buxiang from approaching her.
“Command the Wind!” The Wind-Dwelling Egret heard Feng Ling’s sweet voice, and the hurricane gathered strength.
In the wind, white dots of light flew out, knotted on the silk threads, moving with the wind, chiming and echoing. It was like a string of wind chimes.
Faced with the wind chimes that the other party deliberately created, Dou Buxiang had no intention of stopping. Instead, it crashed into it head-on.
As soon as it dived into it, it was entangled by the wind chimes and could not move at all. The jingling sounds were clearly beautiful, but at that moment, they were messy and noisy. One could not help but feel a bad headache.
“Command the Wind!” Seeing that Dou Buxiang was trapped, Feng Ling seized the opportunity and immediately used its skills to claim her victory.
Strong winds blew at Dou Buxiang. It was on the losing end and would be defeated anytime.
Liu Ran broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at Chen An nervously. This was a battle with the beast as the bet. If he lost, Dou Buxiang would be gone.
It was still fine if he did not look at him. The moment he saw Chen An, Liu Ran could not wait to rush forward, using his Evening Moon Vine to lend a helping hand to Dou Buxiang. At the very least, it would not suffer a crushing defeat.
Chen An stood still, with no intention of retaliating, as the wind chimes trapped Dou Buxiang.
