The Maneater Leech King armor had easily withstood the Green Wolf King’s bite on Huang Tielan’s lower leg. She wasn’t hurt at all.

In the next moment, she pulled out her long sword and stabbed it back through the Green Wolf King’s left eye, penetrating its skull deeply.

Huang Tielan twisted her wrist. The blade directly stirred inside the Green Wolf King’s brain, instantly ending the four-star silver-quality exotic beast’s life. Afterwards, a mass of silvery light erupted, then condensed into a silver card, slowly falling to her feet.

Jiang Chao swallowed once more, thinking to himself, -As expected of the cub of a fierce general. The way she kills decisively is something even ordinary men can’t compare to!-

On the other side, the girls immediately cried out excitedly when they saw that it was finally safe. “Woah, Lanlan you’re so amazing! You actually killed a four-star silver-quality exotic beast by yourself!”

After all, although they were frightened, there weren’t any casualties among them. After calming down, every one of them was like they had just gotten to know Huang Tielan all over again. None of them expected that the usually low-profile girl actually possessed such frightening fighting ability.

She was only a Tier Three beastmaster, yet she had slain a four-star silver-quality exotic beast all by herself! She was truly too amazing! Even Jiang Chao and the other guys were in shock, impressed with Huang Tielan’s strength and combat ability.

After killing all of the wolves, everyone relaxed.

As for Jiang Chao’s group’s timely reinforcement… well, even if they didn’t come help, Huang Tielan could have handled the situation all by herself. However, this favor was still to be remembered. The girls were very grateful to them. They were all at the same age, and could even be considered schoolmates. Thus, they started talking.

Huang Tielan bent down to pick up the silvery beast card on the ground, then looked at Jiang Chao. She nodded and said, “Thank you. I appreciate it.”

After hearing this, it was like Jiang Chao had heard the sweetest voice ever. He immediately smiled brightly, saying, “Haha, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. We’re fellow students; helping one another is only natural.”

Even so, he was frustrated that he came a little too late. In the end, he actually didn’t get to help kill the big wolf at all. It truly was frustrating!

This shouldn’t be considered doing them a favor, right? After all, Huang Tielan slew the Green Wolf King by herself. Even the pack of wolves had been severely weakened from the sonic attack and his friends only cleaned things up. Strictly speaking, they didn’t really provide any help.

Some distance away, Zhao Wu’s group smiled faintly. -Indeed, Young Miss is different with the teachings from a prestigious family. A crisis of this level wasn’t able to threaten her at all.

-Luckily we didn’t make any moves earlier. If Young Miss had recognized us, it’d be troublesome if we left a bad impression. Well, these were all weak exotic beasts. As long as they aren’t mid-tier gold-quality and above, they can’t cause any trouble to Young Miss at all.-

Somewhere else, on the top of an unnamed hill, Zhang Che was sitting in front of a chess board, his complexion slightly ugly.

He lost again!

Although he was given a five-piece advantage, the difference in skill remained. After several games, Zhang Che had only managed to win two of them. He had played unusually well in those two games, not letting the elemental queen find any glaring loopholes, and barely won them.

“Ai, forget it. Why don’t we call it a day here?”

Zhang Che was obviously tired from playing. If he continued, he’d probably keep losing. At this moment, he suddenly received news from the Purple Jade Condor. He exclaimed, “Hmm? Miss Tienan actually killed a four-star silver-quality wolf king by herself? Not bad, not bad! Looks like her strength will increase even more than what I’d anticipated after she advances to Tier Four and is equipped with the Dark Unicorn!”

Zhang Che truly didn’t expect Huang Tielan to perform so well. After all, she was only a Tier Three beastmaster and didn’t have a proper subdued beast. She only had a decent soft armor and a slightly acceptable weapon.

If it were anyone else in her place under such circumstances, it’d be impossible for them to win against a four-star silver-quality exotic beast!

It was rare for the elemental queen to have the chance to torture her master. She immediately pleaded cutely, “Master, since we have nothing to do, how about we play a few more rounds? Why don’t I give you two more pieces at the start?”

Zhang Che felt his anger rising when he heard that. -Give me two more pieces? You really think I’m trash, huh!?-

“No need. We’ll just keep playing like it was. I don’t believe I can’t beat you!” Zhang Che’s competitive spirit was ignited, swearing to take a few more games off her before he was satisfied.

As such, the duo quickly gathered the chess pieces and started another match.

Time gradually passed and it came to about 3 PM. There wasn’t any change in the skies of the beast world. It would only quickly turn dark when it was near evening. Before that short window, there wouldn’t be any obvious changes, not affecting anyone’s hunting.

Huang Tielan’s group and Jiang Chao’s group had merged. Other than Jiang Chao and Huang Tielan, the boys and girls were chatting happily. Due to the help provided by the boys earlier, the girls had a rather good impression of them.

The boys were very self-aware on their side. They knew their chances with Huang Tielan were impossible, and thus set their sights on the other girls, who were pretty in their own rights. Every one of them put on their best performances, hoping to use this chance to pick up a girl.

Jiang Chao, on the other hand, wasn’t interested in those ordinary girls. He didn’t dare to have any ideas on Huang Tielan, either, and didn’t speak much, only chiming in a sentence or two occasionally.

As for Miss Tienan, she only maintained a polite faint smile.

After a round of self-introductions, the girls finally learned that the boys were actually students from the beastmaster faculty. It was no wonder every one of them seemed very strong. It was a faculty specializing in combat. The students they nurtured would become mid-tier beastmasters at the very least!

Jiang Chao’s group in particular, due to their family backgrounds, had become mid-tier beastmasters quite some time ago, and every one of them possessed decent subdued beasts. Jiang Chao was especially noteworthy. He was a descendent from the Jiang family in Qinzhou, located in northwest Hua Xia. Not only did he have a few dark gold-quality subdued beasts, he even had spatial storage equipment, which ordinary people never had the chance to even lay eyes on.

Of course, he wouldn’t show it off in public narcissistically.

Jiang Chao glanced at the sky. Although he didn’t see any obvious changes, he knew from instinct that it was getting late and he suggested that they return to the camp. “Everyone, it seems to be getting late. Why don’t we turn back and return to the camp?”

After all, the nights in the beast worlds were truly full of dangers. No one could guarantee what would happen. To be on the safe side of things, it was better to return to the camp earlier.

After that battle earlier, although the girls had lost many subdued beasts, the pack of wolves had also left quite a few beast cards behind. The boys had said very gentlemanly that they barely contributed anything to the fight and weren’t willing to claim any of the cards for themselves. As a result, those ordinary wolf beast cards went to the girls, helping recover their combat strength.

As for Huang Tielan, she only took the four-star silver-quality wolf king beast card. The ordinary wolf cards really weren’t helpful to her at all, and she conceded them all to her fellow schoolmates.

Everyone came to an agreement and turned back in the camp’s direction. However, none of them knew that the true danger was descending upon them silently!
