Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 200 The Battle at Night

The four of them looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

They were terrified.

This was the first time that all of them had reached the fourth tier, and the first time they had come to the undiscovered Illusionary Realm.

I've always heard people talk about how many benefits one can gain from coming to such a illusory realm.

So they made the decision to come here after everyone else had reached the fourth tier.

But unexpectedly...

I've only been here for half a day, and this is the first time I've encountered such a mishap.

Of the four people, the two who had lost their limbs did not want to stay in this illusory realm any longer.

But the other two people had a different idea.

If they were to stay by the side of such a powerful person, would they be safe from danger?

Since we've come all this way and put in so much effort, we should at least get something in return.

If such a sixth-tier expert were willing to take them along...

"We're not going that way. If you want to leave, go through the forest behind. There's no danger in there, and you can get out safely."

"If you don't leave, then this is goodbye." Compared to saving people, Jiang Feng is clearly more important.

Jiang Feng's two phantom beasts must not be exposed, otherwise, Jiang Feng's disguise would be meaningless.

These two mythical beasts will always be by Jiang Feng's side; the Fighting Deer and the Black Dragon will become Jiang Feng's symbols in the future.

When doing anything, you should think about the future and try your best to avoid leaving any bad loopholes.

After hearing Ji Zhang's words, two of the four immediately made a decision: "We choose to leave. Thank you for saving us today."

"It was nothing," Ji Zhang said.

If he had come out on a normal day, he probably wouldn't have chosen to save people.

But he only made a move because Jiang Feng was around.

After all, she's still a child, and we can't let her see anything too gory.

And it's perfect, let her see a battle between high-level beings.

Ji Zhang stopped talking to the person opposite him and looked at Jiang Feng, who had finished a skewer of grilled meat and was drinking soup. His expression softened.

"I've also cooked some of your favorite dishes. We'll leave after you finish eating." As she spoke, she opened the pot next to her.

Inside were the roots and stems of some kind of plant that I brought from home.

It tastes much better than potatoes; it's sandy with a slightly sweet aftertaste. If I had to compare it to anything, it would taste like pumpkin pancakes.

It has the texture of a potato and the taste of pumpkin. Jiang Feng has accumulated a lot of these in his personal storage. When he gets hungry, he uses the oven he bought in his dorm a while ago to bake one. It's so delicious!

Jiang Feng took the things from Ji Zhang's hands, and the four people opposite him had also made up their minds.

They are leaving.

Asking someone to take you along is obviously impossible; although you might really want to, you can only think about it, not do it.

Otherwise, it would be too ungrateful.

On their way back, they can also hunt some second-, third-, or fourth-tier magical beasts.

"You can keep this campfire. There shouldn't be any mythical beasts coming here anytime soon."

"It's safer to operate during the day."

Ji Zhang watched them make their choices and a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Feng finished eating, rubbed his stomach, and then stood up.

Tonight, there is no moonlight.

Ji Zhang also stood up, pondered for a moment, then summoned a griffin and led Jiang Feng in another direction.

For our first nighttime encounter, we needed to find a relatively open and safe place.

This time it's by the lake. Generally speaking, there aren't many tall trees by the lake.

Moreover, it's winter now, and the lake is frozen over.

However, one should still be careful of the lake water, as there might be mythical beasts lurking below, waiting for someone to step on it and walk right into their trap.

However, this area was very vast, and Ji Zhang sensed the presence of many mythical beasts.

Jiang Feng might not necessarily step directly onto the lake surface.

"Is it here?" There was no moonlight tonight, and visibility was very low.

When Jiang Feng jumped off the griffin, he was a little unsteady and was then supported by Ji Zhang.

Ji Zhang handed Jiang Feng a pair of night-vision glasses.

"Try this." Ji Zhang himself can see his surroundings clearly. Among his magical beasts, this griffin has a strong night vision ability. In addition, as the abilities of beast tamers increase, their bodies will also be strengthened in various ways.

Over time, their bodies will naturally become different from those of ordinary people.

Jiang Feng took the glasses from Ji Zhang's hand, and then everything in front of him became clear.

In fact, there is another way, which is to use mental power to probe. When doing some basic training before, Jiang Feng used mental power with Dou Lu when he could not see the road ahead clearly.

But at that time, they were not facing any external threats.

Now, with the possibility of other mythical beasts appearing at any time, it's impossible to use mental power to observe the surrounding environment.

However, Jiang Feng has been practicing this skill, and he'll definitely be able to use it someday.

"The magical beasts here aren't particularly strong, and the magical beasts that appear at night are quite different from those that appear during the day."

After Ji Zhang finished speaking, he distanced himself from Jiang Feng, just as he had done in the morning: "Same as this morning, I won't show up unless something goes wrong."

After he finished speaking, he concealed his presence.

Mythical beasts are very sensitive to auras. When powerful people are present, they usually become alert and will not appear.

Jiang Feng, wearing glasses, looked ahead and summoned the Fighting Deer and the Black Dragon.

Fighting deer prefer daytime, as their visibility is very low at night.

Dou Lu told Jiang Feng about his situation: he could only see things in front of him; anything a little further away was completely dark.

It's not quite the same as during the day.

The black dragon adapted well to the darkness, flying around in the sky and seemingly enjoying the feeling of its entire body blending into the darkness.

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment, unsure of what problems he might encounter during the battle, and could only lead the two phantom beasts forward.

Then, the black dragon was the first to notice something amiss ahead.

"There's an owl ahead!" it said, and then immediately launched its attack.

The owl hanging upside down in the tree was hit, took flight, and let out a long cry.

At this moment, Jiang Feng also saw what the owl looked like through the glasses.

The owl can fly, so the third skill of the Fighting Deer cannot be used, but the amplification can be applied directly to the Black Dragon.

Nighttime is the Black Dragon's domain. In the darkness, its flight speed increases significantly, and its attack power is naturally enhanced.

The situation was reversed with Dou Lu. Jiang Feng could feel that the amplification abilities Dou Lu was applying to him had weakened.

"Yu Zhuo, try releasing the second skill." Since we need to see how we perform in actual combat, we can't leave out the second skill.

The Light and Shadow are not limited by the scene; they can be released in a chosen direction, so even in the sky, it doesn't matter much.

However, after releasing the skill, Jiang Feng clearly felt the difference compared to the daytime.

The lighting was dim, completely different from the dazzling feeling of daytime.

However, a single skill release is not enough to accurately estimate the specific situation; multiple releases are required afterward.

The teacher mentioned the influence of the environment on the skills of magical beasts during their classes, but the specific impact on each type of magical beast is different.

Therefore, in this situation, the beast tamer needs to figure it out on their own.

Furthermore, as the game progresses and the pets grow, the environment's positive effects on them become stronger, while its negative effects on them decrease significantly.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath and unleashed his Yin-Yang Slash at the owl.

The power of the Yin-Yang Slash didn't change much. After all, she was using illusionary power, not the elements naturally present in the air.

The owl in front of us is also a second-tier phantom beast; nighttime is when they are most active.

The black dragon was locked in a fierce battle with the owl above, while Jiang Feng and Dou Lu provided some assistance from below.

The black dragon is only at the first tier now, and there is still a long way to go before it reaches the second tier.

However, thanks to its powerful talent and physique, it was able to fight to a draw with a second-tier phantom beast at this time, and even seemed to be suppressing it.

This battle did not end quickly.

Jiang Feng wasn't used to this method yet.

Moreover, her judgment of the situation is much weaker at night.

Just as the owl was still being dealt with, Jiang Feng suddenly became alert.

She sensed danger approaching; something else seemed to have appeared around them.

Over there, Ji Zhang, after discovering the situation, did not make a move and remained leaning against the tree.

He wasn't actually very far from Jiang Feng, but because his phantom beast possessed the ability to conceal its aura, he was able to completely blend into the surrounding environment.

In the eyes and perception of the phantom beasts, Ji Zhang's existence was completely imperceptible.

Jiang Feng unleashed his Yin-Yang Slash behind him in an instant.

Then the Yin-Yang Slash touched something.

Jiang Feng also saw through the other party's mindset.

It's a Shadow Ghost!

This mythical beast fits the human description of ghosts, which is why it was named that.

In the Illusionary Realm, they always appear at night, and they appear silently.

The first skill of the psychic Shadow Ghost is Soul Drain.

It is a skill that is quite terrifying to humans.

This ability to steal souls is also key to distinguishing the attributes of a Shadow Ghost.

If it's Shadow Binding, it's the Dark attribute; if it's Soul Stealing, it's the Spirit attribute.

The person Jiang Feng was facing, who wanted to get close to her, was judged by Jiang Feng to be of the dark attribute.

Because the spirit attribute allows you to activate skills upon first encounter.

Jiang Feng quickly distanced himself from the Shadow Ghost. Seeing that Jiang Feng was distracted, the owl in front also launched its skill at him.

"Fighting Deer!" Facing two second-tier phantom beasts at the same time was an experience Jiang Feng had never had before, let alone at night.

Upon hearing this, Doulu instantly unleashed its [Charge] ability, arriving beside the Shadow Ghost and ramming into it.

The skills of the phantom beast can damage the shadow ghost, but physical attacks cannot.

For example, if Jiang Feng were to wield a sword at this moment and slash down without using his illusionary power, he would have no chance of harming the opponent.

Shadow Ghosts are phantom beasts that have no physical form whatsoever.

Although the owl over there was seriously injured, it was still able to move. Jiang Feng was even more wary of the Shadow Ghost and began to deal with it along with Dou Lu.

The owl was completely handed over to the black dragon.

The black dragon was overjoyed and charged straight at the owl.

Its body is extremely tough, and it can inflict massive damage on other beasts of the same rank even without using any skills.

Of course, the owl was no pushover either. Its feathers puffed up, and it fired at the black dragon as it flew.

On Jiang Feng's side, Shadow Ghost had already fallen into darkness, and it seemed that there was nothing around her again.

But she knew very well that after their first attack failed, they would definitely not leave like that.

After all, neither Jiang Feng nor Dou Lu had caused much damage to Ying Gui.

She looked around, and then used her mental energy as a probe to constantly observe the changes around her.

Then, under a tree, they discovered something amiss.

Her mental perception was more acute than her eyesight, so she was able to quickly detect the difference in the situation.

Jiang Feng quickly relayed the information he had obtained through his mental power to Dou Lu, and at the same time launched an attack on Dou Lu.

Only in places like this, which have never been developed, would such a dense concentration of mythical beasts appear.

Just like the Phantom Realms where Jiang Feng and his friends had stayed at school before.

Many mythical beasts are confined to one place to live.

Every month, in addition to students entering the Illusionary Realm, teachers also enter to clear out any unexpected magical beasts that appear within.

Therefore, their in-game battles with the phantom beasts are purely for gaining experience. In most cases, as long as they don't make any decisions that defy common sense, they will not be in any danger to their lives.

But it's different in this illusory realm.

The mythical beasts here haven't been cleared out, so the most likely scenario is something like what happened to them at noon today.

A group of mythical beasts appeared at the same time.

On Jiang Feng's side, Ji Zhang actually believed that he was controlling the number of phantom beasts that appeared.

After all, Jiang Feng's current battles are mainly focused on accumulating experience.

As for fighting to the death?

Let's wait until she's older before we talk about it.

On Jiang Feng's side, everything was progressing smoothly, but the attack from the two phantom beasts still injured her.

After killing two phantom beasts and picking up all their belongings, she hadn't even had a chance to rest when new phantom beasts appeared.

The Illusionary Realm looks even more lively at night than during the day!

Before Jiang Feng could react, he was struck by a skill from the phantom beast.
