Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

I didn't go, but we just talked on the phone.

After Jiang Feng finished answering, he felt that something was amiss, and his expression became more serious. Yao Yue, who was next to him, immediately sensed the change in Jiang Feng and looked over.

She left the hospital that afternoon, and none of the people assigned to her side noticed.

After reading this passage, Jiang Feng pursed his lips.

She looked up at Yao Yue beside her and said, "Didn't we say we were going to see the class monitor this afternoon? Then Sister Zhao Jiao said she disappeared this afternoon."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Yao Yue was taken aback: "Didn't you just call her?"

"yes……"

When I spoke to her on the phone, I felt her situation was strange.

Where are you?

[A barbecue restaurant near the school.]

After saying this, Zhao Jiao immediately grabbed her phone and walked outside.

We suspect she's been brainwashed and is now a vessel for the ferocious beasts roaming the human world. Be careful. I've already messaged Commander Fang; he's already come looking for you.

I recognize every word in the preceding paragraph, but the combination of words makes it somewhat incomprehensible.

A vessel for ferocious beasts to roam the human world?

Was it controlled by a ferocious beast?

But wasn't that ferocious beast killed by General Ji that day?

It's hard to explain in a short time, you should all go back to school as soon as possible.

The Beast Tamer Academy was safer for Jiang Feng. Although there weren't many high-level teachers and students there, there were a large number of them. Even very powerful ferocious beasts would have to think twice about whether they could provoke such a place.

"Let's pack up and go back." Jiang Feng put away his phone and said to everyone, "Sister Zhao Jiao said she might come looking for us, and she'll be accompanied by a ferocious beast."

Jiang Feng spoke very softly, and then stood up.

Han Yunyun was completely confused, Yin Jiao frowned, Ren Wu's eyes widened, and Yao Yue put everything on the table back into her spatial storage before walking up to the shopkeeper: "Boss, check please, how much?"

They had only eaten half of their barbecue; some more wasn't ready: "We're in a hurry, can you take a look—"

Before he could finish speaking, a figure darted towards Jiang Feng.

"Awoo~" The appearance of the gray cloud wolf caused a commotion among the barbecue crowd, but they all sat down again after seeing the gray cloud wolf leaning against Jiang Feng in a "well-behaved" manner.

Most of the people eating outside the school are students, who are quite familiar with the mythical beasts.

"You haven't finished eating yet, keep eating," Fang Zheng appeared beside Jiang Feng and said, "Don't worry."

He is now at the peak of the sixth rank. Although he is not as strong as that brat Ji Zhang because he lost many magical beasts and was seriously injured, there are not many people in the entire Jinyang City who are stronger than him.

"Awoo~" The gray cloud wolf wagged its tail and raised its head, seemingly choosing what it wanted to eat.

The owner runs a barbecue restaurant outside the Beastmaster Academy. I've seen plenty of mythical beasts, but I've never really seen anything like the Gray Cloud Wolf.

"This mythical beast is really handsome, take it and eat it." Saying that, he put the freshly roasted chicken wings in his hand to the Gray Cloud Wolf's mouth.

The gray cloud wolf howled and bit down, its tail wagging even more merrily behind it.

"Instead of living in fear, we should lure the snake out of its hole," Fang Zheng said to Jiang Feng, standing beside her. "How about we go sit outside?"

This was also said to Yao Yue and the others.

Han Yunyun still doesn't know what happened or why she suddenly ran into her teacher.

"Okay." Jiang Feng herself naturally had no problem with it. Whether it was watching high-level beast tamers fight or personally facing such danger, it was a way for her to broaden her horizons.

Since Uncle Fang has already said that, it means he is confident enough?

"Boss, let's eat at one of the tables outside!" Jiang Feng said to the boss.

The rooms have fans and air conditioning, but when it comes to barbecue, many people still prefer to sit and eat outdoors.

Jiang Feng's words did not arouse any suspicion from the boss. He sat down outside, and Fang Zheng left their table after saying a few words. At this moment, Han Yunyun's chaotic mind was finally able to sort out her thoughts.

"Ferocious beast?" These are two familiar words that everyone uses to make a living.

Ferocious beasts are the main culprits threatening human survival, and everyone dreams of becoming a beast tamer to defeat them and reclaim their former home.

Now that they have become beast tamers, they are naturally influenced by this kind of thinking every day. Even if most of them do not go to the front line to become front-line soldiers in the future, they will not make any mistakes in dealing with ferocious beasts.

So when Han Yunyun heard that someone would actually become an accomplice of the ferocious beasts to fight against humans, her mind was in turmoil.

How could such a person exist in this world? The existence of ferocious beasts does indeed pose a huge threat to human survival.

And they are human beings, so no matter what their stance is, they should... stand on the side of humanity, right?

"In short, that's how it is. We've encountered danger before, but thanks to General Ji in Jinyang City, the ferocious beasts didn't succeed."

"With Uncle Fang here, there will absolutely be no security issues."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng's words, Yao Yue's face lit up with anticipation, while Yin Jiao adjusted his glasses, his expression a mixture of contemplation and expectation.

Ren Wu was already looking around, seemingly searching for something.

"Yunyun, if you're scared, go back to the dormitory. The school is much safer than outside." Jiang Feng saw the hesitation on Han Yunyun's face, which clearly showed that she was afraid of the danger that was about to come.

She clutched the hem of her dress, lowered her head, and looked on with a hint of struggle.

Finally, she raised her head, a resolute glint in her eyes: "No, I will stay, if I am not a burden."

Jiang Feng reached out and ruffled her hair: "Okay."

On my phone, Zhao Jiao sent another message saying she was on her way.

The barbecue on the table was still cooking, but no one was in the mood to eat it. Everyone was tense. However, Gray Cloud Wolf next to them was wagging his tail and eating the grilled beef bite by bite.

"Awoo~"

"Aww~"

"Waaah~"

They take a bite, shout out, and look very happy.

After all, the idea that the other party might come looking for her was just speculation, and whether they would actually come was still unknown.

Seeing Gray Cloud Wolf's appearance, the others gradually relaxed and picked up their barbecue to eat.

Fortunately, they had already finished the most troublesome and laborious fish at the beginning, so now all they had to do was open their mouths and put the fish in.

After waiting for a long time, the food on the table was almost finished, and the number of people in the barbecue restaurant gradually decreased. Jiang Feng and his friends were full.

"Shall we go back?" Fang Zheng walked to their side and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the gray cloud wolf raised its head, but its tail did not wag.

"She's not coming. She's already left Jinyang City." As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, Jiang Feng's phone rang.

It wasn't a message from Zhao Jiao, but rather that Tai Chi icon.

Go back to school.

Jiang Feng was about to reply with "okay" when he saw that the other person's status bar kept showing "typing".

Thinking there might be some other instructions, she didn't immediately send the "OK" message she had already typed into the chat box, but instead waited for the other party's long string of words.

After waiting for a long time, just as Jiang Feng's phone screen was about to go dark, the message finally came through.

Don't be afraid.

Jiang Feng paused for a moment, then sent out the words in his chat box.

【OK. 】

Then, a smile appeared on her face.

After putting away his phone, Fang Zheng escorted them back to their dormitory building before turning on his own communicator.

The communication devices used by Beast Tamers to communicate are very different from ordinary telephones.

Most people hold their phones in their hands because it's more convenient for them.

There are also displays similar to light screens, but they are subject to many limitations and are expensive.

Therefore, for ordinary people, a mobile phone in their hand is enough.

However, the environment faced by beast tamers is different. Beast tamers often have to fight, and it is impossible for them to be holding a mobile phone during the battle.

If that thing is lost or dropped on the ground, it will be completely unusable!

Therefore, the communicator exclusive to beast tamers is something similar to a bracelet.

This bracelet can be left off when not in use, and only taken out when needed.

So Fang Zheng took the communicator out of his pocket.

"Did you intercept them?"

"No, she burned down the house she was living in to distract us, and then escaped through the city gates."

"Is your Jinyang City a sieve?"

These words left the person on the other end speechless.

"I thought it was all cleaned up, but I didn't expect there to still be rats." After a long while, the person on the other end finally said this.

"I'm leaving her at school in your care."

After hearing this, Fang Zheng remained silent for a long time, simply walking forward. Finally, he sighed and said, "Don't overwork yourself, Xiao Zhang."

"Thanks."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked up at the sky.

You can't see many stars in the city; there are lights everywhere.

I used to be able to see beautiful stars often when I was in the wild.

He looked down at the gray cloud wolf standing beside him, reached out and patted the wolf's head, then continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.

Inside the dormitory, after the four of them finished tidying up, Han Yunyun looked at Jiang Feng with curiosity.

Yao Yue, still shaken, said to Jiang Feng, "Luckily, we forgot about it at noon."

Jiang Feng nodded, but in his heart he felt that it might not be that he forgot, but that his subconscious felt there was danger, so he resisted doing it, and then he "forgot".

"It's best not to leave the school for a while," Yao Yue said to Jiang Feng after thinking for a moment. "It still doesn't seem very safe outside, and our strength isn't that great."

This is considered a border city, the front line in the battle against ferocious beasts, and it is definitely more unsafe than other cities.

In particular, the ferocious beasts also coveted this place, believing that only by taking down these border cities that were blocking their way could they continue their advance and penetrate into the heart of human territory.

They want to make all of humanity their slaves.

"Yunyun, you shouldn't leave the school either. They might have already spotted you while secretly observing you."

After Yao Yue finished speaking, Han Yunyun's face showed an even more relaxed expression.

To be honest, although she had already decided to apply to a high school in Lanyue City and leave Jinyang City completely, she would never come back.

But the fear her family instilled in her lasted for decades, and those shadows cannot simply be dispelled today.

Now that she has a legitimate reason to stay in school, she naturally feels much more relaxed.

She began to inquire about the ferocious beast.

Yao Yue and Jiang Feng also told her about the things that had happened in Fajinyang City.

These are things that can't be said about beast tamers.

Under special circumstances, all beast tamers will be conscripted to participate in the war to protect the city.

The existence of ferocious beasts, and the existence of those who worship them as gods, is not something that cannot be said.

"Making a contract with a ferocious beast grants them a certain amount of power," Yao Yue told Han Yunyun. "Even if a person's mental strength is very poor and they cannot open the beast-manipulating space, they can still make a contract with a beast."

"You should know this; the teacher talked about this in class." When a mythical beast is completely on its own, it can form a contract with a human.

But what happens after the contract is signed?

"Ferocious beasts and phantom beasts are of the same origin, so as long as the ferocious beast is completely willing, it can also form a contract with a human."

"But the contracts they use are completely different from those used by us humans."

The ferocious beasts enslave humans, and when a contract is made, the beast's power is lent to the human, allowing the human, who originally had no power, to gain it.

However, acquiring this ability obviously comes at a price.

First of all, humans using the abilities of ferocious beasts certainly cannot unleash the full power of those beasts.

This is also the same as in her previous life, when Jiang Feng did not become a Beast Tamer and the Gray Cloud Wolf did not form a contract with her.

The relationship between mythical beasts and their tamers is complementary and mutually beneficial. Humans' magical power can help mythical beasts grow, while mythical beasts can also give back power to humans.

The contract between ferocious beasts and humans is different.

Humans cannot give power to ferocious beasts; to obtain power from them, there must be a price to pay...

"I don't know anything about these things. I just need to know that they are a cult. As for what we have to pay, nobody knows." Yao Yue shrugged and then picked up a small cookie next to her and took a bite.

It was getting late, and having just experienced a fright, no one planned to read; instead, they went straight to sleep.

The next morning, they noticed something different about the school.

There were more military personnel, and even several large buses that could carry people were parked in the parking spaces.
