Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 184 Crisis

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao reacted immediately upon noticing something was wrong.

"Yu Zhuo!" Jiang Feng called out to the fighting deer, and the fighting deer immediately prepared its skills.

Only Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao were surrounded by crabs, while Dou Lu was still standing outside.

However, if Dou Lu releases his skill while Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao are surrounded by crabs, they will also be affected.

Jiang Feng is not yet able to fully control the skills he releases, ensuring they only affect the areas he intends to use.

That kind of precise control can only be achieved later, after one's mental strength level has improved.

"Jiaojiao, let's go up."

Jiang Feng looked at Yin Jiao, and Yin Jiao immediately understood the meaning behind Jiang Feng's words.

Her first skill is building earthen walls; since they are walls, they can naturally be built.

In this way, Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao stood on the earthen wall, and then Dou Lu used the skill [Light and Shadow].

Before the crabs could even unleash their combo attacks, they were already knocked to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Feng chopped off the crab's claws that had been flipped over and placed on the ground.

Because the crab was overturned by the fighting deer, its previous formation was disrupted, and it was unable to unleash its stronger skills.

Seeing that the skill was effective and the opponent's strength was weakened again, before the crabs could fully react, they seized the opportunity.

Jiang Feng unleashed his skill once again.

An hour passed, and only two crabs remained on the other side. Jiang Feng's illusion power had also been largely depleted.

Using Yin Yang Slash continuously was indeed very taxing on her, especially since it also involved casting the Fighting Deer [Shadow of Light].

Yin Jiao's illusion power consumption was not significant, since she did not use her second skill, and the only people she needed to protect were Jiang Feng and Dou Lu.

In that hour, she had learned to reduce the size of her earthen wall and make it bend.

In this way, the earthen wall could defend more areas, and Doulu's leg was no longer injured.

Jiang Feng is becoming more and more proficient in using the Yin-Yang Slash. Previously, it took a lot of time to execute, but now, the speed of release is getting faster and faster.

An hour passed, and there was hardly any need to think anymore.

After all, when dealing with these crabs, she can focus solely on unleashing her skills and doesn't even need to think about any 'strategy'.

Without needing to consider anything about the team, one can quickly improve their own skills.

After the last two crabs fell, Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao stood there panting.

Jiang Feng took the fighting deer back into the Beast Illusion Space.

Fighting the deer has also consumed a lot of energy, and it needs to return to the Beast Space to rest quickly.

The teacher behind them saw what was happening to the two people and instead stayed behind to protect them.

"Let's put all these things in the space button."

"Put them over there, my storage space isn't very big." Yin Jiao glanced at the big guys on the ground and said to Jiang Feng.

Each of these crabs was quite large, and in addition to these items, her storage button also contained some everyday necessities.

It was also because she wasn't well-prepared; she didn't take out all the miscellaneous items inside and put them at the school.

Jiang Feng's space button is quite large.

She is currently using a space button that she brought from home, which has two spaces.

The space button that Yin Jiao bought before is now inside the space button.

"Next time we go to the Illusionary Realm, we must bring more bags and empty the contents of our spatial storage," Yin Jiao said to Jiang Feng.

After listening, Jiang Feng nodded and said, "That makes sense. We can buy a few large boxes, put labels on them, and then put the materials in them in categories."

Everything on a magical beast is useful, but if it's piled up haphazardly, you might not know what's what once you're outside.

As the two of them gathered up everything on the ground, Jiang Feng opened the memo app on his communicator and started writing something.

Write down what comes to mind now, otherwise you'll forget how you felt when you leave.

Yin Jiao observed from the side for a moment.

Behind them was a small grove of trees, the home of the tree crabs.

The hermit crabs they wiped out today probably weren't all of them, right?

If you walk past the grove, there's a river, and there are leopards in it.

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao did not choose opponents with a single attribute. When they first started selecting opponents, they wanted to find as many different types of magical beasts as possible to fight against.

Just like the tree crabs from before, the control skills released by the wood-attribute crabs, along with their sharp pincers, caused considerable trouble for Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao.

They can also burrow into the soil, climb trees, and then pounce on people.

Even with Yin Jiao by my side, it's still impossible to guard against everything.

Because they are not particularly familiar with the opponent's attack methods.

What you see in books are very one-sided and brief descriptions; they cannot possibly provide a comprehensive description of every mythical beast.

Moreover, everyone's experience when facing a mythical beast is different.

Therefore, you still need to summarize these things yourself in battle.

Jiang Feng was still editing his notebook, writing down his thoughts on the battle he had just fought, and also reviewing and summarizing the process.

Only by constantly reviewing what you have done can you have a clearer plan for the future.

At this time, Dou Lu also needed to recover his magical power and could not travel. Yin Jiao and Jiang Feng were both a little hungry, so they took out some dry food to eat.

"We need to speed things up a bit." Yin Jiao glanced at the time.

They arrived at 8:00 AM, and it took them about half an hour to get there. They fought for a total of one and a half hours, so it was already 10:00 AM.

Combat is extremely energy-consuming, not only in terms of magical power but also in terms of physical strength.

The two of them had another destination in mind, so they couldn't continue on their way.

After resting for about half an hour, Jiang Feng's illusion power recovered considerably, and Yin Jiao fully recovered, now full of energy.

"Shall we go?" Jiang Feng stood up as well.

They summoned the fighting deer again and began their journey.

The teacher continued to follow them forward.

After that, Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao did not encounter any unexpected events.

They successfully arrived at their chosen resting place just before sunset, set up their tents, and lit a fire.

The nights inside the Illusionary Realm are much colder than outside; it would be too cold without a fire.

"Eat this." Jiang Feng handed the fruit to Yin Jiao.

She still had quite a few fruits left in her inventory.

Having just eaten some dry rations, the two of them sat in front of the fire, drawing warmth from it.

The nights in the Illusionary Realm were surprisingly cold for them.

It's important to understand that after becoming Beast Tamers, changes in external temperature are no longer a significant factor for them.

People are becoming more accepting of cold and heat.

Summers that used to feel extremely hot no longer feel hot, and things like ice that used to feel very cold no longer feel cold when eaten.

However, when night fell in this illusory realm, Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao still felt a chill.

No wonder that among the essential items, it is repeatedly mentioned that you need to bring a blanket.

Yin Jiao naturally didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Feng, picked up a fruit from the plate, and took a bite.

"Perhaps the environment inside the Illusionary Realm is more suitable for us," Yin Jiao said to Jiang Feng.

The temperature here allows them to feel that change.

Just like before they became beast tamers.

Now, the weather outside is gradually getting cooler, and normally it would be time to cover oneself with a blanket at night.

"It did feel a bit hot around noon today." Zhongwu and the others also stopped to rest for a while, and the sun shining on them did make them feel quite hot.

"We don't know if it's safe here at night." Although they were on high ground, the night was always unpredictable.

Mythical beasts exist everywhere here, and they can appear in their world at any time.

Jiang Feng was naturally unsure whether this place was truly safe.

Although the two of them had already cleaned up the area during the day and sprinkled it with a potion that the school had given them, a potion that the magical beasts would dislike.

Sprinkle the potion next to them while they sleep, and the magical beasts will automatically stay away from them.

But, after all, it's an unfamiliar place.

"Let's take turns keeping watch," Yin Jiao said, but Jiang Feng shook his head.

"The result of taking turns keeping watch is that neither of us gets a good night's sleep."

They had used up too much of their magical energy during the day. Now their magical energy has been restored through cultivation, but their mental energy has not yet been restored. They need to sleep to restore their mental energy.

"Let the magical beasts stay outside, so that we can wake up the moment they sense danger."

The two women need to recover their mental energy, but the magical beasts do not.

Moreover, after staying in the Beast Realm for so long, Doulu was already full of energy.

After Jiang Feng and Dou Lu communicated, it was also willing to stay outside.

"Okay!" Yin Jiao hadn't thought of this option at first, since they usually kept their magical beasts in their magical beast space when they rested.

Her little snail wasn't the kind of pet that liked staying outside and didn't want to return to the pet space.

Moreover, when Little Snail fights tomorrow, he only needs to unleash his skills and doesn't need to do anything else.

It would be perfect to have it keep watch at night.

"The little snail can sense very subtle fluctuations, and its two antennae are very useful," Yin Jiao said to Jiang Feng.

This is the snail's habit, and since the little snail is originally an earth-attribute mythical beast, it is very sensitive to the subtle fluctuations coming from the ground.

Even Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao couldn't fully perceive the subtle changes, but the magical beasts were much more sensitive to them than humans.

Not far from Jiang Feng and his group, their teacher, who had been following them, nodded in satisfaction after seeing them release their phantom beasts.

It seems he's not too stupid.

Knowing that in this environment, one can utilize the inherent abilities of the mythical beasts.

Animals have far stronger instincts than humans. If two people are on night watch, they might not be able to take care of many things when they get tired.

But mythical beasts are different.

The animal instincts of mythical beasts give them more acute senses.

In such a place, it is clear that mythical beasts are more suitable for keeping watch at night.

The school provided sleeping bags, but for convenience, Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao did not use them and slept directly under their blankets.

Nothing happened that night, but when they woke up, they smelled a faint odor of blood.

"Yu Zhuo!" Jiang Feng panicked and shouted in his mind.

"Um"

Doulu answered her, and it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.

"There must be a large mythical beast hunting here. We need to leave as soon as possible."

The smell of blood was coming from afar, but since we could smell it, it meant it wasn't very far.

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao quickly packed up the tent, then sat on the deer and ran towards a place where the smell of blood wasn't so strong.

"It seems we need to change our target." Their original destination was the area with the smell of blood.

But now, that place makes them afraid to go there.

The first lesson a beast tamer learns in this world is probably to protect their own life as much as possible.

Of course, this refers to the general situation.

"Then let's go to the alternative route over there." After the two finished speaking, Xiaowo, who was being held by Yin Jiao, suddenly turned her head and glanced in the direction of the bloody smell.

"Xiaowo said there are people over there." Yin Jiao's face turned ugly.

"What should we do?"

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Jiang Feng said, stopping the deer in its tracks.

Snails can perceive sounds that are naturally different from those of humans.

They were unaware that teachers were following each group, and upon hearing this, they naturally worried about their classmates' safety.

They didn't know each other, but... they were all classmates and might become comrades-in-arms in the future.

"Their distress signal hasn't been used yet, so there shouldn't be any major problems. I'll send a message to the teacher," Jiang Feng said, taking out his communication device.

But she discovered that the communication devices had no signal at this time.

"No signal." Yin Jiao had obviously noticed this as well.

The two people looked at each other.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath and looked into the distance.

Then a scream came from the sky, and a red signal from a distress device appeared in the air.

"Shall we go over and take a look?" Although they said that saving their own lives was the priority, no normal person would remain indifferent to the cries for help from their compatriots.
