Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 131 Stranded in the Wilderness

"Roar." The honey badger growled, reminding Lin Manman to leave quickly.

Nighttime is the time when many ferocious beasts and wild spirit beasts hunt, and it has already sensed some auras stronger than its own not far from them.

Lin Manman didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly climbed onto Yinyue's back, while Xiaoqi also consciously hid in Lin Manman's pocket.

"Run in that direction." Lin Manman pointed in a direction to Yinyue. She had just seen through Adai's shared vision that there would be a plain if she went out that way.

Silver Moon and the Honey Badger moved quickly in the direction Lin Manman pointed out. The shield on Lin Manman's body effectively resisted the wind pressure generated at high speed.

Only then did she have time to remember this thing, and subconsciously reached out to touch her waist, where she felt something stuck there.

She looked down and saw a thin metal belt around her waist, adorned with eight different high-grade gems, all of which were now shimmering with a soft light.

Lin Manman could sense the flow of energy emanating from these gems, which was quite mysterious and complex.

It seems that Fu Mingyuan was well-prepared to let Fan Chengye take action. She was wearing the level nine protective cloak he had given her at the time, so even if she was hit by the dark dragon's breath, she should not have been harmed.

She was so terrified by the overwhelming power of the dark breath that she couldn't even remember what happened.

Moreover, when Fan Chengye trapped her, her protective gear failed to stop him, causing her to neglect her protective gear during the fight.

In retrospect, the cloak should only serve to protect against offensive skills, which is why it didn't work when Fan Chengye used a skill that only restricted her movements.

Therefore, during his fight with Fan Chengye, after successfully severing the space through which Fan Chengye controlled her, Fu Mingyuan took the opportunity to use the protective gear on her and then sent her to Hong Yu's side.

Although she couldn't discern the value of this protective gear based on her limited knowledge, judging from the high-quality-looking gems and the complexity of its energy flow, it was far superior to the previous cloak.

Realizing this, Lin Manman felt a mix of emotions, but the forest environment was far more complex than she could think about.

As they moved forward, Honey Badger and Silver Moon tried their best to avoid some powerful spirit beasts, but some mindless wild animals didn't care about such things.

Silvermoon activated her innate Wolf King Summoning ability, and under the moonlight, the strength of Silvermoon and the Howling Moon Wolves doubled.

For a time, the honey badger had no chance to maneuver, and Silver Moon, with her fifteen Howling Moon Wolves, was more than enough to sweep these beasts aside.

However, the sounds of battle and the smell of blood soon attracted some spirit beasts. Both the Honey Badger and Silver Moon warned Lin Manman that high-level spirit beasts from different directions were approaching them.

"Honey Badger, activate the quicksand prison. Don't engage in direct combat, just hold them off."

Worried that it wouldn't be safe for the honey badger to cover the rear alone, she summoned Amber again.

Although Amber is still at level two, it is a mythical spirit beast, and in terms of physical strength alone, level two is not inferior to some level three spirit beasts with lower bloodlines.

Moreover, Amber's Beast King status has a suppressive effect on spirit beasts with low bloodline levels, and it can be even more effective when paired with the Honey Badger to cover the rear.

With Honey Badger and Amber covering their retreat, Silver Moon sped up, as getting Lin Manman away from the danger zone was the most important thing right now.

Without the bracelet, Lin Manman's sense of time became blurred. She only felt that Silver Moon had been running for more than half an hour before finally seeing the edge of the forest.

Once the person and two pets had run out of the forest, the surrounding sounds became quiet, and the view became open and clear.

At this moment, Lin Manman summoned Ah Dai again. Ah Dai circled in the sky and, following Lin Manman's guidance, searched back along the route they had taken to find the Honey Badger and Amber.

Soon the two pets appeared in Ah Dai's shared field of vision. Seeing that they were not injured, Lin Manman breathed a sigh of relief.

After confirming that Honey Badger and Amber were safe, Ah-Dai looked down at the surroundings from high above. Then, through the shared view of Lin Manman, he also saw a faint flickering light in one direction.

Could it be a village inhabited by people? Lin Manman was pleasantly surprised. Her geography teacher had mentioned in class that there were some villages on the outskirts of the main urban area.

Most of these villages were established outside of China by professionals who were unwilling to be governed by the alliance at the beginning of the construction of the walled city.

Later, because the garrison troops regularly cleared out wild spirit beasts and ferocious beasts within a certain range outside the city walls, and large defensive weapons were also installed on the city walls, many higher-level spirit beasts no longer roamed in this area.

This led many ordinary people who faced difficulties surviving outside to choose to establish villages outside the walls of China in order to make a living.

Lin Manman decided to send Ah Dai over to check first. If it really was a village, then it meant that it shouldn't be too far from the main city.

If the village is relatively safe, rest there for a while and then continue your journey to the city during the day.

"Choo~" Upon receiving Lin Manman's command, Adai flew towards the direction of the firelight, and soon a medium-sized village appeared in Lin Manman's field of vision.

The village was surrounded by high walls, which appeared to be of relatively basic earthen and stone construction. Several huge bonfires were piled outside the walls, seemingly used to deter wild beasts; these were the flickering flames that Ah-Dai had seen earlier.

The buildings in the village are mostly made of earth and wood. At this moment, there are some villagers patrolling the village, and some of them are even professionals.

Thinking that a village with many people and professional guards would be much safer than her sleeping alone in the wilderness, right?

However, having just survived a life-or-death escape, Lin Manman did not want to cause any more trouble, so she did not plan to go into the village for help and just wanted to rest around the village for a while.

With Ah-Dai acting as a scout ahead, and surrounded by a vast plain with no wild beasts or spirit beasts threatening them, she instructed Silver Moon to slow down and wait for Honey Badger and Amber to catch up.

Sitting on the back of the silver moon, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, Lin Manman couldn't help but sigh.

In just six or seven days, she went from being a small-time shopkeeper at a spirit beast store to a prisoner, and now from a cannon fodder on the battlefield to a survivor in the wilderness. It's like she's already experienced a thrilling adventure ahead of time.

While trying to console herself through her bitterness, she had Xiao Qi restore the honey badger and amber that had caught up with her.

The honey badger and Amber were not afraid of encountering so many wild spirit beasts and ferocious beasts in the wilderness. On the contrary, they became more and more courageous in battle. Even after Amber returned to Lin Manman's side, it still exuded an amazing fighting spirit.

Although the honey badger was somewhat restrained, its sharp claws and the more blood on its mouth showed that it was probably much more ferocious than Amber when it fought.

After all, they are spirit beasts; fighting and battling are their very nature.

However, Lin Manman thought this was a good thing, because a spirit beast that had lost its courage to fight would hardly have any room to grow.
