Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 34 Looking for the entrance
Soon, the newlyweds mounted their swift beasts and set off.

The prototype of the Gale Beast is a giant eagle, which, along with the Cloud-Transforming Horse, monopolized most of the transportation methods.

One controls the air, the other controls the ground.

To ensure a fair test, they chose to distribute these new recruits across different teams.

Huang Xiaotian also came along. He glanced at the drop-off point and smiled:
"Aren't you going to opt for the equidistant delivery rule this time?"

The so-called equidistant deployment rule was something Li Zhen had researched before, saying it was to ensure fairness, so that each team would be about the same distance from the entrance to the secret realm.

“I’m not stupid. If I distribute it like this, Lin Chen will definitely figure it out.” Li Zhen said smugly, “I’m going to mislead him.”

"He probably saw through your little trick long ago."

"Impossible." Li Zhen didn't believe it.

Huang Xiaotian mounted the Gale Beast and prepared to take off, and Li Zhen also got on.

"Aren't you going to keep an eye on Ning Ziming?"

Ning Ziming is number one.

In previous years, if Li Zhen had participated, he would have gone to see the performance of the first place winner.

After all, this is a key species to be cultivated.

"I'll go see what this kid does."

Li Zhen sat down, full of anticipation.

"Toad"

Lin Chen squatted on the ground and muttered to himself.

When asked if he could smell the Corpse-Eating Beast, Xiaobai shook his head.

Bai Jiajia and Sun Guang, standing nearby, were sweating bullets, thinking, "Niu Niu isn't a dog, how can it be used as a scent spirit beast?"

Qin Hao didn't think much of it; Lin Chen's plough-horned beast was no ordinary creature.

"If we don't have any leads, we'll wander around and try our luck." Bai Jiajia was still a very optimistic girl, and said, "Everyone, smile. People who smile a lot are usually lucky."

"."

The three men remained silent.

What an inspiring and encouraging message.

Morale -1!

"It's my fault," Lin Chen suddenly said. "I was careless."

Bai Jiajia and Sun Guang thought he was admitting his mistake, so the former comforted him, "It's okay. Anyway, we don't think we'll definitely get good results. Just treat it as a learning experience."

Lin Chen said, "If I had known, I would have left fifteen minutes later during the assessment and just given a perfunctory answer. It would have been easier to find me now."

The three of them didn't understand; what kind of logic was this?

What is the connection between the first round of assessment and this practical exercise?
Lin Chen rarely offered an explanation, and said:
"Given Chairman Li's personality, if he's pursuing fairness, he'll most likely place all five of our teams at the same distance. I just need to draw a circle, take the center point, and I'll be able to find the approximate area of ​​the entrance to the secret realm."

The three of them brightened up.

A path I never imagined.
"Why not now?"

“When I raised my hand today, the way he looked at me was off; there was a hint of provocation and smugness in his eyes,” Lin Chen said. “I think he probably changed the rules.”

The three suddenly realized that this wasn't the first time Qin Hao had witnessed Lin Chen's analytical abilities, but he was still greatly impressed.

In comparison, I'm such a pig-brain.

"So what do we do now?" Bai Jiajia suddenly felt confident.

"Everyone, spread out and gather some clues: mud, sand, water sources."

"Haha, I knew it."

Huang Xiaotian, who was on the back of the Gale Beast, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although they were high in the sky, Huang Xiaotian had a Youyin Beast with excellent hearing, which allowed him to hear their conversation from a certain altitude.

Li Zhen fell into a state of self-isolation.

So it turns out that Lin Chen's last gesture of raising his hand was also a test for him.

"So young, yet so cunning," Li Zhen thought angrily, but secretly he was pleased.

Now he also realized that Lin Chen was indeed a talented person.

His thinking was frighteningly clear.

This kind of person will have a bright future no matter where they go.

"However, this time I can't judge people properly. Let's see what you do then."

As they spoke, the four people below split up with their beasts to search, and then regrouped.

Lin Chen sat on the ground and began to analyze.

The Corpse-Eating Beast prefers damp places, so Lin Chen's first thought was to head towards water sources.

However, the nearby water sources are divided into several locations, making it impossible to determine their direction.

"The Corpse-Eating Beast has a sticky, corrosive substance on its body, which may remain on soil, sand, rocks, and trees. Everyone, please be careful." Lin Chen told everyone to spread out for the second time.

Two hours later, a clue finally emerged.

Qin Hao noticed a tree that had been corroded not far away.

Lin Chen rushed over and indeed saw it.

He let Xiaobai smell it, and Niu Niu almost vomited. Lin Chen quickly told it to smell it from a distance, just to remember the scent.

Xiao Bai raised his head, immediately pointed in a direction, and everyone was delighted and followed.

However, Little White isn't a dog, and it quickly lost its scent, and the trail went cold again.

Night was fast approaching, and Lin Chen had Qin Hao gather some firewood.

"Is this enough firewood?" Qin Hao followed Lin Chen, not wanting to think.

"Not enough, let's find some more, pile up five, and I'll help you pick them up." Lin Chen said, and started picking them up as well.

The other two were a little confused. Bai Jiajia stepped forward and said, "Lin Chen, I don't object to resting, but we should be nearby now. We should rest for a bit and then continue searching."

"It's too dark, it's dangerous."

“Then we don’t need so many fires. Even if we’re spending the night, we can all work around one fire and take turns on duty.”

"My pet is a clean freak and doesn't like too many people. One person per pet is best, for cleanliness and hygiene."

"."

Bai Jiajia glanced at Xiaobai and thought to herself, "Can a plow-horned beast have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
Such a clean cow.

Bai Jiajia believed it and stopped asking questions. She followed along to gather firewood, thinking that Lin Chen must have given up.

Based on past experience, it usually takes about 8 hours for the team to find the entrance, and it has already been more than 5 hours.

By tomorrow, they will be far behind schedule.

Afterwards, they actually built four bonfires. Bai Jiajia was thinking of rallying the team again, so she ran to Sun Guang's place, but Lin Chen stopped her.

"My fox is timid and has finally fallen asleep. It's best if he doesn't talk, thank you, thank you for your help."

The little fox stared wide-eyed, thinking to itself that it hadn't fallen asleep either.

"."

Even Bai Jiajia, with her good temper, felt like getting angry.

Why does your pet have so many problems?

However, Lin Chen's gentle smile made Bai Jiajia unable to get angry; after all, one doesn't hit a smiling face.
Lin Chen has a handsome smile.

They stayed there quietly for half an hour, some meditating, some sleeping.

Suddenly, Xiaobai, who was lying next to Lin Chen, opened its eyes, and the little fox on its body immediately jumped onto Lin Chen.

"Moo~~"

The cow mooed softly and immediately stood up.

Lin Chen stood up, startling the others who asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Corpse-Eating Beast is here!"

As he spoke, Lin Chen raised the torch and swept it around. The others looked up and were immediately terrified.

In the darkness, seven or eight pairs of glowing eyes could be seen; they were visible in the firelight.
It was the Corpse-Eating Beast.

"Attack!" Bai Jiajia waved her hand forcefully, signaling her spirit beast to launch an attack.

Her spirit beast's name is:

Lightning Cat

[Advanced Mortal Beast]

The prototype is a tabby cat.

Although there are many of these Corpse-Eating Beasts, they are not strong in combat. Most of them are only level five or six, which is child's play for them.

Xiao Bai didn't make a move because information-related personnel don't need to take action, otherwise they would be classified as combat personnel, and these Corpse-Eating Beasts didn't look strong.

This is also a traditional rule in monster hunter training: combat and information classes should have distinct roles in actual combat training, which is a good training opportunity for both.

In just five minutes, seven were cleared, leaving one remaining.

Bai Jiajia was engrossed in fighting her spirit beast and wanted to chase after it, but Lin Chen immediately whispered to her, "It's injured, don't kill it, leave it alive."

Upon hearing this, the Corpse-Eating Beast fled in a frenzy, with Lin Chen and the others giving chase.

As they walked, the beast disappeared, and Lin Chen suddenly stopped them, signaling them to be quiet.

Bai Jiajia saw where it had gone and was about to point in the direction.

"Ahem~~" Lin Chen interrupted the spellcasting, then waved his hand and said, "This way."

Bai Jiajia's pupils widened, thinking that the other person was clearly in another direction.
