Beastmaster? Monsters are beasts too!

He then flipped over and leaped off the balcony, silently sliding down the drainpipe from the second floor to the ground.

The moment he landed, he deliberately kicked a soda can at his feet, making a loud "bang" that was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

After landing, Chen Xiu didn't stop. He deliberately made his steps heavy and turned to run wildly towards the unfinished building outside the community.

The streetlights along the way lit up, deliberately revealing their figures.

The three were stunned. From their perspective, they saw someone jump out.

"Who is that?"

One of them pulled out a photo and said menacingly, "That's the kid. Shall we go after him?"

Just as the three were giving chase, the burly man in the lead suddenly realized what was happening.

"Is this kid deliberately trying to lure us away?"

"Grey Rat, you stay here and keep his family under control!"

"With a hostage in our hands, are we afraid he'll grow wings and fly away?"

The man pointed at one of the shorter people and gave a sinister smile.

……

Chen Xiu ran wildly, but after a short while, he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

He frowned. Hadn't they all followed?

I was relieved to have left Gomora at home.

After scaling a wall, two dark figures leaped down one after the other.

Two footsteps came rushing up behind him. Chen Xiu slowed down and pretended to be exhausted.

"Brother, this kid's done for. Should we finish him off quickly and chase after him?"

The man in the lead spoke coldly, "You think these security cameras are just for show? What if someone sees you from the monitoring room right now? How many legs do you think you have?"

"This kid's trying to shake us off using the unfinished building's terrain. Let's follow him!"

……

Inside the unfinished building, rubble was scattered everywhere, and moonlight slanted down through the holes in the roof, casting dark shadows on the ground.

Chen Xiu suddenly stopped, no longer pretending to be exhausted. His aura changed abruptly, his previously rapid breathing instantly became steady, and a cold killing intent surged in his eyes.

"Want to play cat and mouse? Then I'll play with you properly."

Two dark figures followed closely behind, stopping just ten meters away. Upon seeing Chen Xiu's confident and fearless demeanor, their expressions changed.

"This kid is definitely not simple; no wonder he's being targeted!"

The burly man at the head of the group frowned, no longer hesitating, and shouted sharply, "Summon your beasts and finish this quickly!"

As the space shifted, a leopard with a lithe, ghostly form and fur gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light appeared, then vanished into the darkness, roaming around Chen Xiu.

The two-meter-tall rhinoceros charged wildly, its stomp causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Chen Xiu raised an eyebrow; they were all monsters in their growth stage!

This means he will be fighting against four powerful Bronze Eight-Star or even Nine-Star warriors at the same time!

When making their first contract with a beast, most people will do so during the unhatched or cub stage.

Because at this stage, it is easiest to form contracts with beasts, easiest to cultivate tacit understanding, easier to increase the strength of blood fusion, and even to pass on the bond between generations.

However, the downside is that humans are stronger than beasts, and beast tamers still need their masters to protect them.

The beast taming in this world is slightly different, but its status is basically the same as that of Chen Xiu's pets in his previous life.

Is it a partner, friend, family member... or spouse...?

If a master contracts with a young beast, the master should protect the beast unless the beast has exceptional potential and has demonstrated great combat power from a young age.

This tacit understanding has remained unbroken since the beginning of the era of universal beast taming; neither the former nor the latter have broken it.

In some people's eyes, if young beasts are sent to charge into battle, what's the difference between that and forcing human children to their deaths?

However, there is another type of contract, which is the use of force to suppress and force a contract with a monster, but the price is also very obvious.

Without sufficient tacit understanding, the beast tamer is prone to devouring its master, making it difficult to activate the blood fusion talent and even more difficult to increase the intensity of blood fusion.

Some people might wonder, wouldn't everything be solved by contracting a powerful beast tamer?

actually not.

First, beast tamers cannot contract with monsters whose strength far exceeds their own.

Secondly, beast tamers are restricted by contracts, and their cultivation level can generally not surpass that of their master.

……

Clearly, the two people chasing Chen Xiu belong to the second type of contract.

The two simultaneously activated their blood fusion, causing their auras to surge. They attacked from both sides, trapping Chen Xiu behind the broken wall.

15% blood fusion intensity—that's the limit they can unleash.

"Chen Xiu, blame yourself for being too arrogant, daring to offend everyone! No one can save you today!"

Chen Xiu chuckled and stopped holding back. His eyes flashed with light and shadow as he instantly opened his golden pupils!

[60% blood fusion, activated!]

When the blood fusion intensity exceeds 50%, the body will change into the appearance of the beast tamer.

The first thing to change was the eyes!

hum-

The power of the earth surged wildly into his body through his feet, and Gomora's diamond-level bloodline power surged endlessly!

All three talents—Hard Armor, Brutal Strength, and Super Vibration Wave—are activated!

His muscles suddenly tensed and bulged, his skin glowed with a faint earthy black light, and the air around him rippled due to the high-frequency vibration.

Strength, speed, and defense all skyrocket!

Far exceeding the limits of ordinary bronze beast tamers!

At the same time, black light surged in his palm, and dark sparks appeared in an instant, transforming into a pitch-black spear over ten feet long!

The gun was wreathed in a purplish-black aura of annihilation, swallowing up all light in its path!

The tip of the spear trembled slightly, concealing the destructive power of the super vibration wave. This power, belonging to Dark Lugiel, was Chen Xiu's sharpest weapon at this moment.

"Something's strange. What kind of weapon is this?!" The two men's pupils shrank, and they both felt a sense of apprehension at the spear that had appeared out of thin air in Chen Xiu's hand.

At this moment, the Shadow Blade Leopard lurked in the darkness, seized the opportunity, and launched the first attack. With a low growl, it transformed into a streak of blue light, its sharp claws aimed straight for Chen Xiu's throat.

"court death!"

Chen Xiu's senses were incredibly sharp at that moment. With a roar, the speed granted by 60% Blood Fusion was so fast that it left afterimages, easily dodging the claw attack.

The dark spear swept horizontally, its shaft carrying a super shockwave, and slammed hard into the head of the Shadow Blade Leopard!

Bang!

Blood and flesh flying everywhere!

With a single strike, Chen Xiu instantly killed the tall, thin man's beast!

The tall, thin man's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His beast had died, and he had also suffered irreversible damage.

Seeing how fierce Chen Xiu was, he immediately turned around, not wanting to continue the fight, but Chen Xiu gave him no chance!

He's been waiting for this moment!

Immediately, a beautiful gunfight!

With a single thrust, the tall, thin man was instantly covered in blood!

His heart was shattered; he was beyond dead.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that the other person didn't even have time to react.

Before he could even begin to move, his companion was instantly defeated by the so-called "high school student" in front of him.

How could he possibly accept this?!

"Impossible! Your beasts are all dead, how could you still possess such formidable power?!"

"No, this is not the kind of power a Bronze Beastmaster should possess!"

The burly man panicked and hurriedly retreated, turning around to try and escape!

He immediately used the contract to forcefully control the Ironhorn Rhinoceros, but the Ironhorn Rhinoceros had witnessed the Shadow Blade Leopard, whose strength was comparable to his own, being torn apart alive!

How could it dare to go any further? It swayed its body, strongly resisting the strong man's command.

The end result was that Chen Xiu shot him in the head, and his huge body crashed to the ground!

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Chen Xiu raised the tip of his spear, looking at the burly man in front of him.

Knowing he couldn't escape, the burly man collapsed to his knees with a thud, his breath slowly fading away.

"We...we're just doing our jobs for money, we don't know the real buyer."

His voice trembled, and his posture softened, but Chen Xiu spoke coldly, word by word.

"Don't know? Then you might as well die."
