Chapter 453: That's just the result

She really is dying before achieving anything, hasn't found Yuan Lang and the others, yet she's about to be killed.

But before the system could speak, she felt her feet touch the ground, and couldn't help but look down.

It wasn't the ground, but she had already stepped onto the big tree where Tongzi had been hiding.

The next moment she felt a push on the back of her neck, Wu Yue blinked, what's going on?

"Host, look at you being timid, turn around and have a look."

Just then, Tongzi's teasing voice sounded in her mind.

Wu Yue then also finally noticed something different, and when Tongzi's words fell, she turned around to look behind.

"I... I fuck!"

A pure white beast, its four claws as if stepping on clouds, flapped its wings and hovered in midair, its scarlet eyes fixed on her.

Ignoring the pair of wings behind it, it was basically a carbon copy of the Slaughter Hall hound demon state, just not as imposing, and even its scarlet eyes had a touch of cute clumsiness.

Wu Yue couldn't help feeling a bit regretful, what a waste of this body.

Just as she was sizing up the beast before her, the white beast opened its mouth and let out a very familiar "howl howl" sound.

Wu Yue looked at the white beast, then at Lan Pangzi sitting cross-legged on its back, and disbelievingly tugged at her ears.

"It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?"

Tongzi spread its paws: "Exactly what you're thinking."

Tongzi's words completely confirmed her earlier thought, and Wu Yue reached out to touch the white beast's head.

Sure enough, the beast offered no resistance, and even nuzzled her affectionately.

Wu Yue smirked foolishly, hehe, she actually had a beast that looked like it came from Slaughter Hall—this feeling was simply great.

"What kind of spring dream are you having, host? Slaughter Hall takes human form, but this beast doesn't."

After saying that, she gave a sour look at her host who had gotten dogshit luck: "But I have to admit, dog host, your luck is truly good—this beast's combat power could rank among the top ten in the deep forest, and it can fly, so at least our safety is guaranteed."

Wu Yue's face, which had darkened from being told she was having a spring dream, brightened up after hearing Tongzi's following words.

Thinking back, she had just wasted a Beast Taming Ring on a little beast, never expecting this little beast to bring her such a big surprise.

She quickly hugged the beast's big head and gave it several kisses, "mwah mwah mwah": "You're truly my treasure; our safety for this period will rely on you."

Perhaps because of the Beast Taming Ring's connection, the beast could actually understand Wu Yue's words, proudly lifting its head, almost flinging her off the tree.

While the person and two beasts were communicating, the long-ignored beast, eyes red, charged again and began ramming the tree they were on.

Fortunately Wu Yue held onto the white beast's neck, otherwise she would have been flung off.

The white beast seemed angered by the clueless beast, let out a low roar, flung Tongzi off its back, and charged down.

Wu Yue, rare moment of kindness, caught the falling Tongzi from the sky: "What's this beast's name?"

The still-shaken Tongzi licked its fur, curled up obediently in her dog host's arms: "It seems to be called something like Treading Cloud Beast, because its four paws look like they're stepping on clouds."

After saying that, she looked at Wu Yue: "Host, do you want to help rename it?"

Wu Yue nodded: "Yeah, Treading Cloud Beast, so lacking in distinctiveness."

Tongzi sat up from her arms: "Then let me help you think, host—I have plenty of nice names in my memory."

"No need, no need, I've already thought of one."

Wu Yue arrogantly lifted her chin: "Just call it Treading Cloud. Mighty and imposing, yet not losing its own character."

Tongzi: "..."

Heh, I actually believed your nonsense, you face‑obsessed naming failure.

"Roar roar!"

"Howl!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Remembering what Yuan Lang once said, high‑level beasts all have their own innate skills; I wonder if this Treading Cloud Beast also has an innate skill, awesome or not.

Person and beast stared intently at the battlefield, when a white small figure swooshed out and rushed straight at Wu Yue.

Upon getting close, it directly kicked the Tongzi curled in Wu Yue's arms into the air, then shook its fur and lay down.

It also lifted its big, shiny, watery eyes at Wu Yue and let out two "howl howls", its pink little tongue licked her fingers, its fluffy little head kept rubbing against her—so adorable.

Wu Yue's health bar instantly emptied.

Ah ah ah!!!

What on earth is this peerless little cutie, how can it be so adorable?

She couldn't help but reach out and rub it over and over.

"Roar!"

But the next moment, the affection and indulgence on her face froze instantly, as the dust ahead cleared and a huge figure slowly rose to its feet.

"I... I ghao! Tongzi, why is this beast still alive?"

Wu Yue only felt her hairs stand on end—hadn't the Treading Cloud Beast in her arms just taken care of that big guy?

She stiffly turned her neck to look at the cute little beast in her arms; the little guy still stared at her with its round, watery eyes.

Seeing her look over, it tilted its head in confusion: "Howl howl?"

The Tongzi that had been kicked far away finally crawled back: "Dog host, don't be fooled by this scheming beast—this guy is basically a juvenile, so that powerful combat state can't last long."

"So why didn't you say that earlier?"

Tongzi snorted: "I missed the later data—who knew that although the Treading Cloud Beast has strong combat power, growing up is extremely difficult, requiring tons of energy."

Wu Yue looked at the little beast in her arms and instantly felt she had signed up for a bottomless pit.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just now that fierce beast had already rushed toward them again; seeing the opponent's ferocious appearance, Wu Yue instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Tongzi even let out an 'ao' and jumped onto her back: "Dog host, we're on the pill-taking rhythm!"

Roar!

The fierce beast let out an angry roar and again charged toward the tree where one person and two beasts had planted their feet; the gust of wind that blew straight at them made Wu Yue's cheeks tremble.

She quickly lay down and clung to a relatively thin branch nearby.

The strong vibration came again, but perhaps because they now had a place to hold onto, although their posture was a little unsteady, they did not fall from the tree as they had before.

"Host, we need to think of a way; this big tree can't withstand several more blows from that big guy below."

This big tree is far less sturdy than the one Wu Yue was hiding in; it has already been knocked into a large hole by the beast, and it will probably collapse after another four or five blows.

Wu Yue also felt numb-handed at this moment; they two weaklings simply couldn't match a fast-crawling, powerful beast; if they went down from the tree, they'd surely become poop.

She gritted her teeth, reached into the side satchel; if it really didn't work, she could only try using poison.

But the poison would only work if it contacted the wound or if the beast swallowed it, which is relatively dangerous.

Suddenly, a hard feeling came from within the satchel, and Wu Yue recalled that when they had split up earlier, the Flying Eagle Shaman seemed to have given her a beast's crystal core.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at the white little beast in her arms: "Tongzi, you said the little beast can't maintain a strong battle state for long because it's not yet adult; if I feed it a crystal core, would that work?"

The crystal core actually contains all the energy of a fierce beast.

Tongzi, with all four claws tightly gripping the dog host's thigh, upon hearing this, his black-bean-like eyes also shone brightly: "Definitely would work; even if we can't knock down that beast, at least carrying us away would be no problem."

Just then, the beast below launched another ferocious impact; Wu Yue clung tightly to the remaining trunk, Tongzi clung tightly to her host's thigh, and the person and beast almost got knocked off.

"Damn! It hurts like hell!"

Although the two clung tightly to the trunk and weren't thrown off, his arm was scraped raw by the bark, with not a single spot of good skin on the whole forearm.

There's nothing left to hesitate about; Wu Yue took the crystal core from the satchel and held it before the little beast: "Can you eat this?"

Cloud-Step was clinging to its owner to avoid falling, when suddenly it felt a surge of energy that made it drool, coming from nearby; it lifted its little head and saw that its owner was actually holding a crystal core.

Its watery little eyes instantly lit up; it sprang up from its owner's embrace, its two tiny paws scratching, looking extremely anxious: "Ao ao!"

Seeing its appearance, Wu Yue also breathed a sigh of relief; beasts' sense of danger is far stronger than humans'.

So if the crystal core were dangerous, the little beast would know.

She brought the crystal core to the little beast's mouth, and the little guy gulped it down with an 'ao wu'.

The next moment, its formerly dull fur seemed to be coated with a halo of light; Wu Yue knew the crystal core was useful for Cloud-Step.

Sure enough, the next moment Cloud-Step's body began to emit a white halo, and he leapt down from Wu Yue's embrace.

Its small body gave a bounce and jumped toward the outside of the trunk.

Wu Yue's heart tightened; she quickly reached out to scoop the little guy back, but unexpectedly, the next moment a mighty white fierce beast appeared in her sight.

"Host, we're saved; Cloud-Step has indeed transformed again."

Cloud-Step let out two 'ao' calls, approached the trunk, and gestured for Wu Yue to sit on its back.

Seeing the distant beast again gathering power to charge, Wu Yue didn't hesitate, took a step and climbed onto Cloud-Step's back.

Along with Tongzi, who had been scratching her thigh, he also clambered up.

"Cloud-Step, don't linger with that beast; fly straight into the deep forest, we have something very important to do."

Cloud-Step, who was about to take advantage of the moment to deal with the beast below, heard its master's command, let out a ferocious 'ao', and shot straight up into the sky toward the deep forest.

Only the beast behind was left emitting a series of unwilling roars.

Wu Yue listened to the earth-shaking roar behind her, clenched her fists angrily: "You just wait; when my Cloud-Step becomes strong, we'll come back and deal with you."

Tongzi, sitting up front with his cheeks shaking from the forest wind, heard this and chuckled; the dog host knows he's just borrowing the tiger's might.

The sun rose high, and the flight of one person and two beasts was still very leisurely, after all, blowing in the forest wind was quite cool and comfortable.

"Dog host, ahead is the mid-level beast's survival territory; we should land, because continuing to fly would be very dangerous."

The distant waves of pressure were very obvious, and Tongzi couldn't help but speak up.

Wu Yue heard this, nodded, and patted Cloud-Step's back: "Cloud-Step, find a safe place; we're landing."

"Ao ao!"

The happily flying Cloud-Step, unwilling and displeased, let out two 'ao' calls before circling to find a place to land.

One person and two beasts landed in an open area and began searching for the traces of Yuan Lang and the others.

Meanwhile, in the area where the mid-level beast territory borders the high-level beast territory, a group of over ten Beastman Warriors were carefully huddled in a mountain cave.

"Yuan Lang, Teng Qian's injuries have improved a lot; after a few more days of rest they'll be about right."

The tall, handsome beastman at the cave entrance, hearing this, turned and walked into the cave, examined Teng Qian's injuries as he lay in the grass nest, nodded and said: "Yue's medicine powder carries healing shamanic power; it works very well on such wounds, so we'll rest here for a while."

"You all spread out to patrol; if you spot any danger, give an immediate warning; our current location should already be near the high-level beast territory."

The Beastman Warriors all nodded in unison, their faces becoming much more solemn.

"I never expected that making bows and arrows would require the sinew of a one-horned flood dragon."

The one-horned flood dragon is a beast that lies between mid-level and high-level beasts.

The majority of the one-horned flood dragon's clan are mid-level beasts, but the top-tier individuals among them have combat power comparable to high-level beasts, especially the leader of the one-horned flood dragon beasts, which must be a high-level beast.

Therefore, the one-horned flood dragon beasts can possess a cross-regional territory spanning the mid-level and high-level zones.

They also, during a hunt, encountered two beasts fighting, one of which was a one-horned flood dragon beast.

After the one-horned flood dragon beast was defeated, most of its flesh and blood were eaten by another beast; fortunately, its sinew remained.

They routinely brought it back to test; who would have thought that the one-horned flood dragon beast's sinew is exceptionally suitable for making bows and arrows for Beastman Warriors.

The one-horned flood dragon beast's battle went well.
