Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 185 Combat

Jiang Feng dared to ask this question mainly because he had something to rely on.

Xuan Yi's powerful deterrent force can make even tier-three or lower mythical beasts submit.

Although it lasted only a short time, it should have been enough for them to escape?

"Do you have any means to save your life?" Yin Jiao naturally couldn't leave at a time like this.

Judging from the voices over there, that student was in very bad shape.

They came in with a man and a woman, and the voice coming from over there was a girl's voice.

Whatever their reasons, they cannot ignore it.

"Of course." Jiang Feng's lips curled upwards.

Yin Jiao immediately looked over there and said to Jiang Feng, "Let's go take a look and let us experience the strength of a third-tier phantom beast in advance."

The initial caution stemmed from the need to protect one's own life, but the current risk-taking is to help one's companions as much as possible.

I wonder when the teacher will arrive?

It would be great if the teacher arrived before they did.

"When I came here, my family gave me a soft armor to bring with me. I'm wearing it now, and it can withstand attacks from third-tier phantom beasts."

"About five or six times."

"However, just to be on the safe side, let's first see what kind of mythical beast it is."

The premise of helping others is always ensuring your own survival; otherwise, it's not helping, but causing trouble.

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao understood this principle very well, and proceeded with great caution on their way there.

The teacher who was originally following behind them did not step forward to stop the two of them after thinking for a moment.

On one hand, she needed to get there, and on the other hand, she wanted to see how Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao would react in the face of this crisis.

In the battle the previous day, the abilities displayed by Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao amazed their teachers. Their use of illusionary power and the connection between illusionary skills and pet skills went from being unskilled at the beginning to being very proficient after a day.

Anyone who sees this speed of progress will exclaim: "Truly a genius!"

When Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao came into contact with each magical beast, they were completely unfamiliar with them. However, they were able to quickly find the beasts' weaknesses and constantly improve their attack methods.

What you learn from books is never enough; the knowledge in books may not be correct in real life.

After all, those are just commonalities among magical beasts, but each magical beast is an independent individual and can undergo all sorts of unpredictable mutations.

Just like those parasitic tree crabs we faced in the first battle.

Jiang Feng discovered that the weakness of one of the tree crabs was not its pincers.

In countless battles, the mythical beasts will naturally evolve. After all, it's survival of the fittest. If all the hermit crabs whose weakness is their pincers were known and killed, then those that remain would naturally be...

Mythical beasts also evolve as the world changes.

However, after realizing that something was wrong, Jiang Feng did not insist that the pliers were the weakness, but immediately began to look for other weaknesses.

On many subsequent occasions, Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao defeated thirty Tier 1 Phantom Beasts in a single day.

The last one was even just at the second tier, and it took the two of them an hour to barely defeat it.

So the teacher followed behind the two of them, really wanting to see how they would perform when facing a third-tier phantom beast.

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao sat on the back of the fighting deer and quickly headed towards the place with the strong smell of blood.

Only after walking over did I see the corpses of the phantom beasts on the ground.

In the Illusionary Realm, mythical beasts exist as physical entities and naturally possess flesh and blood.

Furthermore, the blood of mythical beasts is still under research. It is said to be a particularly useful material for making many things, but because the blood is rare, there has not been much research progress so far.

"What exactly is going on? Has a third-tier phantom beast gone mad and come out to hunt?"

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao looked puzzled when they saw the corpses of the magical beasts on the road.

"Aren't mythical beasts supposed to refrain from indiscriminate killing?" Just like humans, mythical beasts follow certain rules. When hunting for food or competing with other mythical beasts for something, they will also attack other mythical beasts.

But it will never destroy the environment in which it lives.

Although they are not the same species, they all seem to understand the consequences of overfishing.

The current situation, with so many phantom beast corpses on the ground, is clearly... not right.

The deer stopped, and after a moment's thought, Jiang Feng sent it back to his magical beast space.

The fighting deer is so tall that it is easy to spot.

She and Yin Jiao need to be extremely careful.

Over there, the sounds of battle could be heard, and Yin Jiao and Jiang Feng actually had many questions.

"How could they fight against a phantom beast?" Judging from the traces left on the road, this third-tier phantom beast has the power to suppress second-tier or first-tier phantom beasts.

No matter how strong the other students are, they can't possibly be a match for a third-tier magical beast.

There is no possibility of a battle.

"Has the teacher already arrived?"

All the teachers sent by the school are at least Tier 3, so they have no problem fighting Tier 3 phantom beasts.

There is also a very clear dividing line between human beast tamers and mythical beasts.

Below the third tier, there isn't actually much difference in strength between mythical beasts and humans.

Or rather, mythical beasts have an advantage in some aspects.

However, once you reach the third tier or higher, the gap between the phantom beast and the beast tamer will widen.

Because in a one-on-one situation, humans are obviously no match for magical beasts. Even with the help of their own magical beasts, humans are weak and this becomes a weakness.

At the second tier, the Beastmaster gains an additional phantom beast as an assistant, making it much easier to face second-tier phantom beasts.

But once you reach the third tier...

A beast tamer who possesses three Tier 3 magical beasts is an absolute force to be reckoned with when facing Tier 3 magical beasts.

So as long as the teachers arrive, they shouldn't have any problems?

Jiang Feng used his Shadow Step, and Yin Jiao quickly followed. Although she hadn't learned such an illusion technique, her evasion was sufficient for her.

When I went over to take a look, I realized there were actually two people.

"The other two are here," Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao said, a hint of surprise on their faces.

The two of them didn't encounter the other two people all day yesterday, and they thought they had planned completely different routes.

These two people actually met at this time.

Was it planned from the beginning?

At first, I clearly saw them walking in different directions, didn't I?

At this moment, Jiang Feng frowned as well: "Look at what's in her arms."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, Yin Jiao looked in that direction.

The girl was holding a mythical beast egg in her arms.

The magical beast eggs are not produced by magical beasts, but are formed through some unknown process.

Humans have tried to raise mythical beasts in captivity, but no mythical beast eggs were produced.

To this day, how mythical beast eggs are generated remains a mystery to humankind.

However, mythical beasts will generally protect the mythical beast eggs of the same kind that are born around them and take care of them until they pass through their infancy.

Of course, there are other possibilities.

However, mythical beasts will fight each other for mythical beast eggs, after all, the concept of "fellow beasts" exists not only among humans but also among mythical beasts.

Phantasmal beasts generally do not hunt other Phantasmal beasts of the same species.

"Did they steal the eggs?" Yin Jiao asked with a strange expression.

It's not just strange, it's even somewhat incomprehensible.

Why do something so stupid at a time like this?

Is there a problem with taking the monster egg?

Of course, no problem!

The problem is that they are only at the first level. Doing something like this when their strength is insufficient is just being arrogant and courting death!

"Should we still go over there?" After seeing the situation clearly, Yin Jiao lost the will to go forward and help.

If a companion has stumbled into danger, then it is only right for them to lend a helping hand.

But what if they are deliberately courting death?

"They're holding the magical beast eggs; they should be able to wait until the teacher arrives."

"Did you notice? The magical beasts aren't attacking the magical beast eggs. They can basically avoid attacks by simply placing the eggs in front of them."

After reading it, Jiang Feng smiled slightly and said, "However, the egg can only protect one person."

"Moreover, the patience threshold of a mythical beast is limited." When it realizes that it cannot retrieve the egg, the mythical beast will naturally take other actions.

The fact that they haven't started yet only means that the shields on those two people haven't been completely used up, and the phantom beasts are still wary of them.

The mythical beast was a flying creature, perched high above, its claws appearing extremely sharp.

Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao couldn't guarantee that if they rushed out at this moment, they wouldn't be caught by the phantom beast.

However, they did not choose to leave immediately, because observing the attack methods of a third-tier phantom beast up close was also part of their learning.

However, at this point, the magical beasts became extremely sensitive to human scents. Although Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao had already applied the school-issued potion to conceal their scent when they decided to come over.

"Run!" The moment Jiang Feng saw Yin Jiao's eyes, he immediately grabbed her and used Shadow Step.

They had already tried this method on their way here.

After all, Jiang Feng's skill allows him to move faster within his shadow, and if he brings someone along, the skill can still be activated.

However, the opponent might feel somewhat uncomfortable because they didn't use this illusion technique.

But right now it's not a question of whether I feel uncomfortable or not.

After seeing them leave, the mythical beasts there did not chase after them, but instead unleashed their skills in their direction.

A tornado with the wind attribute.

It directly tore apart the big tree where Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao had just been standing.

Furthermore, the skill did not disappear after tearing apart the tree, but instead rushed towards Jiang Feng and his group.

"Jade Sprout." Jiang Feng quickly summoned the Fighting Deer.

With Yin Jiao on his back, he kept a close eye on the huge tornado while having the deer unleash its amplification skill.

At the same time, she also used her [Amplification] illusion skill.

This illusion technique was the one Jiang Feng used the least, but he had no choice but to use it in this situation of escaping for his life.

She can't use two illusion techniques at the same time yet; she can only use amplification illusion techniques to increase the speed of the fighting deer.

"Run in another direction." Jiang Feng had already memorized the map of the Illusionary Realm, so now that the Fighting Deer was running, it had a certain directional range.

They couldn't go into the range of other third-tier magical beasts, so they had to run to other places.

The teachers following behind them were quite satisfied with Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao's reaction.

After seeing that the person who got into trouble had stolen the magical beast egg, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

What an idiot!

They lack a clear understanding of themselves.

This is extremely devastating for beast tamers, or rather, beast tamers with teams.

Most of the students in their school will likely form teams to fight in the future.

A team may not be outstanding, and it may not have any particularly excellent members, but it absolutely cannot have any idiots!

The presence of someone who is unclear about their own role can be a disaster for a team.

As Jiang Feng and Yin Jiao fled, Yin Jiao kept watching the tornado rushing towards them from behind.

The tornado's immense energy stung people's faces, even causing Yin Jiao's face to crack.

She used earthen walls multiple times to block the tornado's advance.

At least it can slow it down a bit and create some distance.

Neither of them spoke. The fighting deer ran swiftly behind them. The teacher in charge of the two of them did not make a move immediately, but instead circulated his own illusionary power, ready to disperse the energy at any moment.

Doulu had never felt this kind of pressure before. As it ran at top speed, it felt as if its fur was about to be torn apart.

However, the rapid running and Yin Jiao's resistance did have an effect in the end.

They quickly moved out of the skill's range.

Just as Yin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Feng said to her, "Jiao Jiao, prepare for battle."

"We have entered the territory of a second-tier phantom beast."

After saying that, Yin Jiao's relaxed emotions instantly tensed up again.

This is already their best choice. Any beast that dares to build a nest near a third-tier magical beast is certainly not an ordinary second-tier magical beast.

The mythical beasts on the other side, according to records, are even more powerful.

Jiang Feng felt that after they had used all their power to unleash their illusionary power, they were simply unable to fight their opponent.

"Okay." Yin Jiao didn't show any fear; on the contrary, he became alert after Jiang Feng finished speaking.

The two of them have used up one-third of their illusionary power, so they should still be able to put up a fight.

Soon, the second-tier phantom beast appeared before them.

It was a winged tiger that was over a meter long, almost two meters long.

Although this tiger has wings, it cannot fly; it is of the wind element.
