Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 199 Rescue

In the Illusionary Realm, not all humans are on the same side; murder and robbery are common occurrences.

Although most humans share the same interests when facing ferocious beasts, they naturally often compete with each other when not facing them.

However, most people follow a strategy of being friendly to each other, at least they don't kill each other.

A small percentage of people, however, will transform into something entirely different after gaining power.

In the Illusionary Realm, there is no surveillance like in the city. Anyone's actions can be blamed on the magical beasts and the environment, so the evil in human nature is magnified infinitely.

Soon, Ji Zhang saw what the group of people running towards them looked like; they looked extremely disheveled.

Several phantom beasts were chasing behind them, and when they saw people ahead, some of them had their eyes light up instantly.

Especially when you see only two people ahead of you.

You need to know the conditions for entering here.

It's at least level four!

A team of seven requires rank four, while a team of two requires rank five or six.

The group of phantom beasts chasing behind them were fifth-tier phantom beasts!

They really didn't expect there to be so many Tier 5 enemies in this beginner area. After letting their guard down, they were almost wiped out.

"Uncle, there are only four of them left." Jiang Feng was protected inside the griffin's wings, but his eyes were exposed, so he could see what was happening in front of him.

The squad consisted of seven people, but the four who ran toward them were all injured to varying degrees, and one of them had a broken arm.

Even their magical beasts... the number is a bit off.

"Hmm, they've encountered a powerful phantom beast." Ji Zhang sighed, pondered for a moment, and then summoned another phantom beast.

His identity is reflected in relatively ordinary magical beasts. Apart from the griffin standing next to Jiang Feng, there is also an Ice Crack Bear that is extremely aggressive.

However, Jiang Feng had never seen this bear before, and his face showed surprise the moment he saw it.

It's huge!

Within this icy, snowy crystal world, water-attribute mythical beasts naturally receive a boost.

His skill is the Ice Pillar Giant Axe.

All that could be seen was an axe made of ice materializing in the bear's hand, which it then swung and walked forward.

Ji Zhang remained standing beside Jiang Feng. At his feet, the dark-attribute snake that had been released earlier was coiled up, guarding against any possible attack.

"Watching high-level battles will also be helpful to you." Ji Zhang had already clearly seen what the phantom beasts of the pursuing group looked like, so he wasn't particularly worried.

They were just a group of fifth-tier magical beasts.

The higher the level, the more obvious the gap between classes becomes. A group of fifth-level magical beasts cannot cause any damage to a sixth-level magical beast.

It's like when a person faces a swarm of ants; if they step on it, all the ants will die.

The same applies to battles between high-level and low-level magical beasts.

Of course, a sixth-order being fighting a fifth-order being is not as disparate as a human fighting an ant.

Jiang Feng was naturally watching that side with complete concentration.

The four people on the other side breathed a sigh of relief and showed gratitude after seeing Ji Zhang summon the phantom beast.

one!

That means the person in front of you is more than level five!

A fifth-tier beast tamer cannot summon only one fifth-tier phantom beast to deal with a fifth-tier beast!

"The higher their level, the stronger their autonomy becomes." Ji Zhang didn't elaborate further, and the bear charged straight out.

"The combat experience they've accumulated since childhood allows them to make more accurate judgments during battles."

As Ji Zhang spoke, the bear swung its giant axe.

Now, Jiang Feng's two phantom beasts mostly rely on his command to make accurate judgments about the situation.

It's because they are too small and lack combat experience.

"In battles that aren't particularly difficult, you should give it your all," Ji Zhang also noticed this flaw in Jiang Feng.

Using her brain for battle planning would indeed greatly shorten the battle time, but the phantom beast's brain was not used.

"Your magical beasts don't have low growth potential, and their intelligence isn't much different from that of humans."

Jiang Feng looked at Ji Zhang and blinked.

If the battle is entirely left to the phantom beasts, then what is she supposed to do?

By coordinating with your summoned beasts to launch more effective attacks, you can quickly eliminate enemies.

"We have too many mythical beasts, and in the later stages, it will be virtually impossible for them to coordinate perfectly."

"You just need to clarify your responsibilities and goals."

"Just like when you and your comrades are fighting."

Cooperation between humans cannot be achieved by one person saying what skill to release and then the other executing it.

This approach relies too heavily on command, and commanders aren't gods; there will always be times when they can't take care of everything.

Most team-based combat involves clearly defined objectives for each phase, such as eliminating a specific enemy or having a particular member perform a specific task.

During the battle this morning, Ji Zhang noticed that Jiang Feng and Dou Lu's teamwork was too seamless.

Clearly, this was not something that could be achieved through mere tacit understanding; rather, every move of the deer was meticulously planned by Jiang Feng.

Black Dragon and Jiang Feng didn't fight together for long, so their attacks were sometimes hesitant. Often, they would just hover in the sky, unsure of what to do.

"In the early stages, without you acting as a bridge in the middle, it's normal for the monsters to have poor coordination."

"But you have plenty of time."

"As the mythical beasts get to know each other better, you'll be able to do more things."

"With the extra energy, you can make yourself stronger and play a greater role in battle."

When there was only one mythical beast, Jiang Feng's actions were naturally without any problems.

After all, the beast and the beast tamer are one entity. The better the synergy between the beast and the beast tamer, the more they understand each other.

However, later on, when they had more mythical beasts, this kind of synergy was obviously not feasible, as it would require a lot of effort.

Unless it's an extreme battle where absolute precision is required, there's no need to give full command and arrange every single action of the summoned beast.

"Of course, whether or not arrangements should be made depends on the battle situation at the time."

After Ji Zhang finished speaking, the battle had entered a stalemate.

There is indeed a big difference between the fifth and sixth tiers, but it is still not easy for a sixth-tier to deal with a group of fifth-tiers.

Those fourth-tier beast tamers had already run up behind the bear, but they didn't stop completely.

After catching their breath, the beast tamer among them who possessed healing skills began to cast spells on the bear.

When fighting against fifth-tier phantom beasts, bears inevitably get injured. The wounds on their bodies don't heal very quickly with the help of healing skills, but it's better than nothing.

Various amplification skills were added to the bear, and Ji Zhang's lips curled up slightly.

It seems I didn't save the wrong person.

Although he would lend a helping hand to any beast tamer he encountered under such circumstances, the other party's actions would naturally guide subsequent events.

Jiang Feng's gaze was entirely focused on the bear's battle with the other phantom beasts.

Clearly, that bear was very experienced in combat, and it showed no fear even when surrounded by those fifth-tier phantom beasts.

They even became more courageous in battle.

He kept unleashing his battle axe while simultaneously kicking out, forcing the phantom beasts to dodge.

But during the battle, a phantom beast in front of the bear suddenly became majestic and imposing.

Jiang Feng looked surprised, but Ji Zhang was not. "It is the true form that every phantom beast possesses."

"However, transforming into this form is extremely taxing on the phantom beast." Without a beast tamer, it takes a long time for a phantom beast to recover after using this skill.

Therefore, they will never use their true form unless they are in dire straits.

Jiang Feng naturally knew about the true form of the mythical beast, after all, she had seen Uncle Wolf's mountain-like appearance before, and even sat on it to play.

The soft fur that completely overwhelmed her at the time, and the tail that could be used as a slide.

"Then, Uncle, is your bear in its true form right now?"

That bear looked to be about three and a half or four meters tall!

Although the deer was three meters tall before the fight, that was an artificial height; its antlers were very tall, but its actual height was not three meters.

But that bear looked solid.

"No, it's always been this big." Ji Zhang's lips twitched slightly as he said this. "It wasn't this big when it was a kitten."

"There is no need to use the true form of the phantom beast at this time."

After Ji Zhang finished speaking, he thought for a moment.

This knowledge was somewhat distant for Jiang Feng, but he still wanted to share it now, fearing what might happen later—

"Once you reach the fourth rank, you will be able to use the Phantom Beast True Form."

"However, that would be a huge drain on your illusionary power."

To become like that requires an astonishing amount of magical energy.

Therefore, people rarely use their true forms on the battlefield.

In some unimportant matches, the real body is used more often, and that's what's shown on TV.

This will undoubtedly mislead some people who are not yet at level five.

"If you reach the fourth rank when you participate in the Global Beast Tamer Competition, you can use the Phantom Beast True Form during the competition."

After all, life safety can be guaranteed during the competition.

The true form of the mythical beast is better used in one-on-one situations.

"In a one-to-many situation, you're mostly facing a protracted battle."

"At this time, you should conserve your magical energy and make sure it is abundant."

"Coordination among each mythical beast is especially important in a protracted battle."

Ji Zhanglin told Jiang Feng a lot of things.

The strategy used should be different for each different situation.

This knowledge is still somewhat beyond Jiang Feng's current level.

However, she listened attentively to what Ji Zhang said, memorizing it now so she could use it later when needed.

The battle ahead lasted for an hour. Jiang Feng watched for a while and then sat down, leaning against the griffin behind him.

The griffin's belly is soft, and its wing feathers are very warm.

When the battle ahead ended, she actually felt a little sleepy.

After all, Jiang Feng couldn't actually discern much from a battle of this level.

At first, she found it novel, but since no one explained anything to her, and Ji Zhang wasn't some kind of chatterbox who would talk for over an hour.

"Take a rest for a while, and we'll practice again when you're awake." Ji Zhang smiled at Jiang Feng, then walked towards the group of people.

Perfect timing! They can practice fighting phantom beasts at night. Jiang Feng probably hasn't fought at night before.

The situation at night is completely different from that during the day.

Although there are night vision glasses now, and beast tamers' eyesight isn't too bad at night, there are still some obstacles.

In addition, the light attribute weakens at night while the dark attribute strengthens, resulting in a difference in the abilities displayed by the two mythical beasts.

Although mythical beasts have better eyesight than humans, they are still affected by the difference between night and day.

Neither dragons nor deer are creatures that do not rely on their eyes to see.

The griffin remained beside Jiang Feng, serving as a sleeping mat.

When Jiang Feng woke up, the people he had seen earlier were still there.

Their team is now down to three people, and they are afraid that if they encounter such a powerful phantom beast again, they will be missing more than three people.

Being around a sixth-tier expert like this made them feel comfortable.

Jiang Feng woke up rubbing his eyes and saw that it was already dark.

She was surprised that she had slept for so long, and then she saw that a campfire had been lit over there.

The Illusionary Realm at night is naturally much colder than during the day. When Jiang Feng poked his head out from under the griffin's feathers, he was so cold that he shivered. Then he silently took out a coat from his spatial storage.

Standing up, the griffin lowered its head, and Jiang Feng reached out and rubbed its head.

Then Ji Zhang allowed it to return to the Beast Realm.

Jiang Feng walked towards Ji Zhang.

The four people sitting opposite Ji Zhang were very quiet, and their faces were filled with sadness.

Two of them were missing a hand and a leg; they looked quite disheveled.

Jiang Feng opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't ask the question.

With current medical technology and the skills of beast tamers, it shouldn't be too difficult to repair broken limbs.

However, given the other person's appearance, she didn't feel comfortable asking any questions. She simply sat down next to Ji Zhang, who then handed the freshly roasted meat to Jiang Feng.

"Eat quickly, we'll leave after we finish."

Jiang Feng looked at Ji Zhang, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Shall we set off tonight?

"You've never fought at night before, this is a good opportunity."

After Ji Zhang finished speaking, he looked at the group of people opposite him and asked, "What are your plans next?"
