Beast Taming Begins with the Inner Circle of Pets

Chapter 135 Why didn't you wait until I died to say this?

Lin Manman hurriedly ran to the city wall and looked down. In the short time it took to treat Zhao Zixu, many more spirit beasts appeared below the city wall, and they were all high-level spirit beasts.

The Wind Shadow Leopard that was leisurely playing with Zhao Gui was actually an eighth-level spirit beast.

Damn it!!

Lin Manman was now certain that she had truly violated the heavenly law. She had originally thought that with the help of Zhao Family Village, she could safely weather this wave of beasts.

And now another level eight spirit beast has appeared?

The highest-ranking warriors in Zhao Family Village are only two level seven warriors. If they fight together against this level eight spirit beast, they might still have a chance. However, they have to separate to defend the city!

Just when one life-or-death situation was resolved, another certain death situation appeared?

Fan Chengye spared her life because he valued her talent and abilities, but in the eyes of these spirit beasts, she was nothing more than a piece of meat!

Under her watchful gaze, Zhao Gui suffered several more scratches from the Wind Shadow Leopard, and his clothes were completely soaked in blood.

The priest on the city wall was trying his best to heal, but as soon as the wounds were healed, the Wind Shadow Leopard opened several more cuts on his body.

This level eight Wind Shadow Leopard seemed to be deliberately provoking the nerves of everyone in Zhao Family Village.

No! Zhao Gui can't die! Besides this level eight spirit beast, there are quite a few level six or seven spirit beasts. If he falls, she and the people of Zhao Family Village will immediately be surrounded and attacked by the spirit beasts.

"Hongyu, send some crossbow bolts over to help Uncle Zhao Gui!"

In a flash, she directed Hongyu to support Zhao Gui, hoping to give Zhao Gui a chance to catch his breath.

"Hiss!"

Upon receiving the order, Hongyu immediately used her skill on a group of the archers from Zhao Family Village, teleporting the bolts she fired to the side of the level 8 Wind Shadow Leopard.

Now, as long as it doesn't teleport something roughly the same size as itself at once, it can open multiple portals in different directions to simultaneously launch attacks from different angles.

However, these archers also had to suppress the spirit beasts below that kept trying to get closer to the wall, so it only dared to send a small portion of them.

These crossbow bolts, transported without wind resistance, retain their power, much like shooting at a Wind Shadow Leopard at close range.

The Wind Shadow Leopard was momentarily stunned by the crossbow bolts that suddenly appeared beside it. Although it was known for its speed, these unpredictable crossbow bolts seemed to appear out of thin air, leaving it with nowhere to hide.

What's even more infuriating is that although these crossbow bolts couldn't penetrate its fur defense, they kept shooting at its head and then at its rear, making it feel like it was being toyed with!

"Roar~" it roared, and its entire body was enveloped in a wind shield, causing the arrows to bounce off the shield.

With this brief respite, Zhao Gui had led the Zhao Family Village team back to the foot of the wall, and his injuries had been mostly healed by the priest.

Seeing that the teleportation crossbow bolts weren't very effective, Lin Manman wanted to have Hongyu stop the teleportation. In any case, the goal of distracting the Wind Shadow Leopard and giving Uncle Zhao Gui a moment to catch his breath had already been achieved.

Unexpectedly, the Wind Shadow Leopard seemed to have discovered that she and Hongyu were behind it, and rushed towards her with lightning speed.

It was so fast that even Zhao Gui's arrows couldn't catch up with it.

"Hiss!"

"Awoo!"

Rainbow Jade and Amber quickly stepped in front of her.

In the critical moment, Lin Manman took out the large Maltesers, her last resort to save her life, hoping it would work.

She hadn't used her full power during so many crises since encountering the treasure hunter, but this time it was truly a matter of life and death.

Without hesitation, she hurled the black pellet in her hand at the Wind Shadow Leopard, which had already leaped high into the air.

The Wind Shadow Leopard thought Lin Manman had thrown some kind of weapon, and quickly struck the dark, shiny ball with a wind blade, but the thing was not knocked away as it expected.

Instead, it triggered a violent energy surge, which created a small explosion that blew the Wind Shadow Leopard and the people on the wall off the ground.

Lin Manman was teleported back in time by Hongyu. Several unlucky people from Zhao Family Village had already been thrown down from the city wall, and the professionals who remained on top rushed down to rescue them.

But none of this could distract Lin Manman, who was staring blankly at the spot where the explosion had just occurred.

Right where the black ball exploded, a griffin appeared—its wings shimmering like gold, its head a white eagle, and its body a brown lion!

Meng Wenbin's life-saving measure for her!! He told her it could only be used once and to be used with extreme caution!! It turned out to be a level nine griffin!!!

Damn it, why couldn't they have told her beforehand? If she had known earlier, would she be in this mess now?

Why didn't you wait until she died to tell her?!

Lin Manman was both angry and aggrieved. She had thought that this life-saving method would only last once in many dangerous situations, and she dared not use it lightly unless it was a life-or-death moment.

It turns out this wasn't some one-time life-saving measure at all; it was clearly the work of a level nine bodyguard!

She could easily use her cheat codes, so why hide them from her and make her suffer?!

If she had known earlier, would she have been kidnapped by the treasure hunters, captured by Fan Chengye, and driven to the beast tide with nowhere to hide?!

If Meng Wenbin hadn't repeatedly told her that this life-saving method could only be used once, she wouldn't have suffered so much!

The level nine griffin was not her contracted spirit pet, so it naturally could not sense her emotions and thoughts. After it appeared, it discovered that the spirit beasts were attacking the humans.

One of the human girls carried the scent of its master, so it quickly determined its own position.

As a wild spirit beast, the Wind Shadow Leopard's ability to grow to level eight in such a harsh environment indicates that it possesses considerable intelligence.

Although it couldn't figure out how the griffin had appeared, its aura was much stronger than its own, so it cautiously retreated a hundred meters to observe the griffin.

Unexpectedly, the griffin only glanced around briefly before flapping its wings and swooping down on it.

The Wind Shadow Leopard wasn't stupid; seeing it charging towards it, it realized that the Wind Shadow Leopard was on the side of humans.

However, this guy was clearly of a higher level than it, and it couldn't even muster the strength to resist. It turned around and ran away.

However, how could a land-based spirit beast outrun a winged griffin, especially one that was a level higher than it?

Soon, the Wind Shadow Leopard lost its ability to move under the attack of the Griffin.

The griffin carried it back.

Everything happened too fast and too suddenly. While the people of Zhao Family Village were still looking at each other, confused as to why another high-level spirit beast had suddenly appeared, the griffin launched an attack on the Wind Shadow Leopard.

When the griffin returned with the corpse of the Wind Shadow Leopard, the people of Zhao Village were still bewildered, unable to understand why this spirit beast would help them.

With the death of the Wind Shadow Leopard, the other spirit beasts sensed the powerful aura of the Griffin and hurriedly fled.

The people of Zhao Family Village belatedly realized that they were saved!

When they encountered the level 8 Wind Shadow Leopard, the people of Zhao Family Village thought they were doomed and the village was doomed.

Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, the situation took a complete 360-degree turn!

Before they could even celebrate their narrow escape, the griffin carried the Wind Shadow Leopard's carcass and flew towards the top of the wall.

Zhao Gui quickly crouched down, pushed off with his feet, and easily jumped onto the top of the wall.

When he saw the griffin dump the Wind Shadow Leopard's corpse in front of Lin Manman, he finally understood.

It turns out that the griffin helped them because of Lin Manman.

It seems that even if this griffin isn't Lin Manman's spirit pet, it must be a life-saving measure prepared for her by her family.
