Chapter 1786: Fifth Day, Contracted Beasts (2)
....Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was not those small team disciples who attacked the exotic beasts.
Instead, these strange beasts threw themselves onto the iron spears set up beforehand.
Zhou Mingzi and others hiding behind the fortifications felt a mix of excitement and disappointment.
They were excited because they managed to resist and kill these exotic beasts
But they were disappointed because they didn’t even need to intervene during the whole hunting process.
Were these exotic beasts too easy to deal with?
This trial didn’t seem to be that difficult…
“There are still a few that are not fully dead. Go finish them off.” Han Muye’s voice sounded from behind.
Everyone hurriedly got up and rushed out of the fortifications made of limestone and refined iron.
Tao Guran and others controlled their battle puppets and cautiously advanced.
“Roar—”
A beast pierced through by a spear roared madly, leaping up and knocking down three battle puppets charging at it.
The strength of this beast was unexpectedly formidable!
Just its physical power alone could send level six battle puppets flying.
This scene caused Tao Guran and the others to turn pale.
They thought these beasts were easy to handle, but now they realized that even dying beasts were beyond their ability to resist.
Fortunately, these beasts were already heavily injured, and with the combined efforts of armor masters and puppet masters, they were all quickly dealt with. As the last beast fell, everyone cheered excitedly.
Killing so many beasts not only earned them merit rewards from the academy but also allowed them to directly exchange materials from the beasts for origin coins.
The materials from level six and seven beasts were quite valuable.
“Everyone, check if the iron spears are damaged.” “Everyone, check if the iron spears are damaged.” “Puppet masters, continue mining ores.” “Armor masters, gather limestones.”
Han Muye’s voice rang out.
A trace of confusion flashed across the excited disciples’ faces.
“Why aren’t you getting to work? Didn’t you hear what Senior Han said?” Gao Tianjin growled, driving his battle puppet forward, dragging away the body of a beast.
The others glanced at each other and quickly got to work.
Although they felt a bit disappointed that they couldn’t claim these beasts for themselves, everyone knew that without Senior Han’s command, they wouldn’t have pa.s.sed this first trial.
On the distant hill, they had already begun to practice their offensive and defensive battle formations.
The next wave of beasts would arrive in just one day.
Liang Qiyuan looked at the pile of limestones on the Hill No. 14 and the densely covered spears, not knowing what to say for a moment. Did they really want this team to hold out until the end?
On the fifth day of the trial.
When a crack that was like a floodgate opened in the sky, all the trial disciples widened their eyes.
Tens of thousands of black-armored void leopards rushed in like a flood, accompanied by roars that tore through the void and surging aura.
“They are iron-armored Void Leopards!”
“These guys are fast and have high defense. We can only focus on full defense!”
On every hill, squads of trial disciples were overwhelmed by these black-armored Void Leopards, which were as fast as lightning and as heavy as 100,000 pounds.
Their sharp teeth and claws were incredibly sharp.
Just one pounce, and the armor masters would be coughing up blood, not to mention that many black-armored Void Leopards were also empowered with spell power.
As level-six beasts, these Void Leopards were faster and stronger.
“Escape!”
Someone shouted from a hilltop.
Then the squads began to scatter and flee.
Signals for help flew into the sky one after another.
But no one came to their rescue.
In the distant hall, the trial judges watched coldly, none of them even considering extending a helping hand.
“Without toughening up, how can they become accomplished?” A sage-level armor master wearing black armor said coldly.
Teams were dispersed, fleeing in all directions.
Their survival instincts drove them toward the hills where some squads were still holding on.
The armor masters were the fastest, followed by the puppet masters. As for the refiners, they had to rely on their own flesh and blood to resist the pursuit and attacks of the beasts.
“The abandoned refiners can only serve as flesh shields for escape.”
The judge speaking didn’t have a pleasant expression.
Every time they witnessed such scenes during the trials, they felt both anger and frustration.
Refiners were the foundation of the rise of the Galaxy Universe. However, the Galaxy Universe didn’t value their lives.
“Let’s fight them!” Inside the light screen, some refiners who couldn’t escape turned around and charged at the beasts.
“Quick, save me! I’m a level eight refiner!” There were also refiners fleeing in panic, abandoning their companions even while controlling their battle puppets.
On some hills, strong individuals began to gather talented puppet masters and armor masters.
However, for those refiners who could not provide sufficient combat power, these strong individuals rejected them.
During the big battle, these refiners not only couldn’t provide enough combat power but could also become sources of chaos.
There were also some hills that did not reject armor masters, but not many. On He Yang’s hill, a safe s.p.a.ce was specially opened for refiners, sheltering dozens of them.
There were even more refiners in Feng Jiutian’s team.
He himself belonged to the Academy of Refining Masters, and more refiners were willing to follow him.
Nalan Moran had also recruited some armor masters. To him, it didn’t matter if he was just playing around.
Strong armor masters and puppet masters like Gao Zhengtai refused the attachment of refiners to ensure the absolute strength of their teams.
“You can retreat. Isn’t there a squad hiding in the fortifications over there?” Someone laughed as they drove their battle puppets, pushing away several refiners.
On Hill No. 14, the st.u.r.dy fortifications made the black armored Void Leopards flinch. The porcupine-like black spear formation seemed quite conspicuous.
Most of the refiners turned to look elsewhere. They would rather go somewhere else than step onto Hill No. 14.
They felt that the fourteenth hill couldn’t possibly hold out until the end of the trial.
However, there were still more than 10 refiners left on Hill No. 14.
“Boom—I’
Because of the lure of the fleeing refiners, nearly a hundred black-armored Void Leopards finally rushed to Hill No. 14.
Then, chaos ensued.
Half of the mountain cliff collapsed directly, countless rocks fell, burying the fleeing black-armored Void Leopards.
“Don’t these guys have any shame?”
“Trial after trial, it’s all about using such underhanded methods.”
In the distant hall, many trial judges were filled with righteous indignation, waving their arms.
In their eyes, none of the trial disciples on Hill No. 14 were qualified.
They lacked the courage to fight and the strength to resist.
“That Han Mu, after all, is from a small town and lacks the courage to take responsibility.”
“He’s a level nine refiner, but he doesn’t even know how to face these beasts?”
Someone whispered and turned to look at Instructor Liang Qiyuan.
The head instructor’s expression stunned him.
At this moment, Liang Qiyuan’s brows were tightly furrowed as he stared at the light screen in front of him.
“The head instructor must be dissatisfied with the actions on Hill No. 14.” “Haha, I knew the chief instructor wasn’t someone who would play favorites.” Many people showed expressions of antic.i.p.ation.
“These black-armored Void Leopards aren’t dead.” Just then, Liang Qiyuan suddenly spoke up.
His words left everyone bewildered.
Following his gaze, everyone saw the trial disciples of Hill No. 14 coming out of the fortifications. With golden runes in their hands, they walked to the edge of the cliff.
The runes fell, hitting the heads of the beasts.
The beasts struggled and roared, but in the end, they bowed their heads.
Subjugated!
These beasts were all subdued and became contracted beasts!
There weren’t many contracted beasts in the Galaxy Universe.
Because there were battle puppets, most people did not need them.
Not needing them didn’t mean that such means of contracting beasts didn’t exist here.
On the contrary, many powerful individuals in the Galaxy Universe had contracted beasts.
For example, there were powerful individuals who held a contract with divine beasts.
But this kind of thing was definitely rare.
“The runes of these contracted beasts, I remember reading about them in the library.”
Watching the black-armored Void Leopards submit, being dragged out of the cliff into a large pit, someone in the hall spoke up. “Instructor, what they’re doing is against the rules—I’ Before the person could finish speaking, he stopped.
Against the rules?
It seemed like they weren’t really breaking any rules.
“These Void Leopards are not weak, with the contract beast bonus, everyone on Hill No. 14 has at least doubled their combat power…” An old man muttered slowly and narrowed his eyes..
