Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 29: Battle!

What came into view was a scene like a fairyland.

A rainbow hung high above a lake not too far away, with flowers and grass at its feet, and the harmless, 0th-tier phantom beast, the white butterfly.

The mist was thick, and the lake water rippled.

Birdsong occasionally drifted from afar, and looking up, one could see the mountains and forests hidden in the mist.

The Illusionary Realm has boundaries, just like behind them, apart from the exit, there was only a thick fog.

If you reach out, you can even touch its boundary.

"Students, please come this way. The Illusionary Realm is fraught with danger. Please do not be attracted by the scene before you." The leader in front said as he summoned his phantom beast.

A curly-haired turtle that carried its shell on its back and walked on two legs appeared before them.

Yes, this mythical beast is called the Curly-haired Turtle because it usually has a curl of hair on its head, which looks rather comical.

"Curly-haired turtle, attack!" Something seemed to have changed about the leader.

Jiang Feng observed carefully.

He knew that the team leader was demonstrating the cooperation between beast tamers and magical beasts, something they would need to learn in the future.

Suddenly, light emanated from the curly-haired turtle, and its body gradually grew larger, transforming into a gigantic turtle.

Then, a water sword was released from the turtle shell in one direction.

The other team leader was not to be outdone, and summoned his own water-attribute phantom beast, a Rifttooth Crocodile, an elite-level phantom beast.

"Carpenter Crocodile, use Water Ring Binding."

Actually, you don't need to read out the skills you're using, but this is a tutorial.

In order to help the students understand what the mythical beasts were doing, each beast tamer who became the leader received instruction in advance.

Every mythical beast possesses skills, but skills are one thing; mythical beasts are still better at using their bodies to fight. For example, their sharp teeth and claws.

Ahead, after the water rings bound them, everyone could see what kind of phantom beast the two leaders were attacking.

"Wow, it's a cloud bird!"

"The cloud bird has the ability to become invisible in the clouds, and the team leader actually spotted it ahead of time!"

The water-attribute beast tamers naturally gained a basic understanding of the water-attribute mythical beasts they could contract.

Standing behind, Jiang Feng didn't see the phantom beasts forced out in front, but rather the cooperation between the two beast tamers.

The Carapace is more aggressive, so after the Curly-haired Turtle shot the Cloud Bird, the Carapace became the main fighting force.

Meanwhile, the curly-haired turtle surveyed its surroundings and began to protect itself.

The Beastmaster stood behind the Curly-haired Turtle, protected by it.

The cloud bird in front also unleashed its own cloud attack.

Cloudbird is a very special type of mist among water-attribute creatures.

Although it is also classified as a water attribute, its abilities are unique.

"Its mist can interfere with our vision. When fighting a beastmaster who possesses a cloud bird, we must disrupt it the moment it releases its mist."

"Curly-haired turtle, use the bubbles!"

The curly-haired turtle exhaled a huge bubble, which enveloped the mist released by the cloud bird the instant it did.

Then, the Carapace Crocodile approached the Cloud Bird, waving its massive tail and delivering a blow.

The cloud bird's feathers were knocked off and fell to the ground. It started chirping and chirping, then was pinned down by the crocodile's tail.

"Don't crush it," the team leader immediately said.

After saying that, the crocodile curled its tail and pulled the cloud bird up.

The cloud bird looked utterly hopeless, its tiny eyes fixed on the approaching figure.

It tried to run away when it saw people, but it was caught anyway!

"Who wants this cloud bird? Those who want it can take a step forward and let it choose one of you to form a contract with."

The students who were water-attribute beast tamers were all excited.

Jiang Feng and his three light-attribute beast tamers did not move forward at this moment, but stood aside and watched.

This time, they were teamed up with ten water-attribute beast tamers.

Five of them stepped forward.

The other five people had their own choices and shook their heads.

The Cloud Bird doesn't have many attack skills, and its skill [Mysterious Clouds] is easily countered.

【Misty Clouds】is the initial skill of all cloud birds, and most cloud birds do not have any other skills.

To unlock the Cloud Bird's aggressive potential, the Beastmaster and the Cloud Bird need to engage in extensive training to unleash the Cloud Bird's full potential.

"Let this cloud bird choose for itself, Rifttooth Crocodile, loosen your tail," the leader said to his phantom beast.

After saying that, he took out a small dried fish from his backpack and placed it in front of the Carapace crocodile.

The crocodile swung its tail, tilted its head back, and swallowed the dried fish.

"The magical beasts you contract in the future will also have things they like."

"Giving them their favorite food as a reward is a great way to build a good relationship with your pet, improve the bond between the pet and its owner, and increase the pet's combat power." The leader reached out and patted his own Rifttooth Crocodile on the head.

The cloud bird knew it could not resist and had to choose one of these people to become their magical beast; otherwise, it would become a magical crystal.

In the end, she chose one of the girls.

"You unleash your magical power and open your magical beast space."

"Envelop the cloud bird with illusionary power, and then mark it with a contract."

The method for forming a contract with a mythical beast is found in the Beast Tamer's Handbook they receive after becoming Beast Tamers.

Even though everyone has watched it a thousand times, they inevitably get so nervous the first time they do it that they forget.

A teardrop-shaped mark appeared on the student's forehead, and then a cloud bird transformed into a phantom, passing through the teardrop mark on her forehead and entering her magical beast space.

Jiang Feng glanced at it, then reached out and touched his forehead.

The other students did the same thing, seemingly wanting to touch their own heads to see if they had the same mark.

"This mark will appear on your forehead when you open the pet space, but this is also because you don't understand your own spiritual power enough."

"Later, as your control over mental power increases, you'll be able to open your summoned beast space at will before battle, just like us, without giving your opponents any warning!"

If a mark appears on your forehead, everyone will know you're about to summon a phantom beast! The mark will also display the attributes of that phantom beast.

Once the opponent gets to the bottom of your position, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand in the battle.

"Student, after you complete the contract, you can leave directly. After you leave, someone will take you to a completely safe and quiet place. You need to get to know your pet properly, and someone will also teach you how to get along with your pet."

The tour leader said that because this is the exit.

Once we set off, we won't have such a good opportunity again.

After forming a contract with a mythical beast, it's naturally better to calm down and work on the relationship.

However, after this group of people entered, the clever magical beasts had already fled.

They can only try going to farther places.

"Okay, thank you, leader." The girl was overjoyed and walked directly to the entrance of the illusion, which was both the entrance and the exit.

She took out the jade pendant from her hand and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

"The rest of you, keep following me forward; we'll be boarding the ship soon!"

The magical beast summoned by the teacher returned to its 'mini' size and followed among everyone.

With one less person, the pressure on caregivers is reduced.

Jiang Feng looked out over the lake and felt that the fog seemed much thicker than when they had just arrived.
