Chapter 12

The tall city wall was nearly a hundred meters high, with a blackish tone, and one could feel its sturdiness at a glance.

This is the defensive wall that has guarded countless humans, like a mountain, cast between humans and fierce beasts, bringing peace to the human race.

It was covered with various patterns, in which extremely terrifying Source Energy flowed.

After queuing for registration, the group soon left the city.

Gradually leaving the main road, they came to a path rarely visited by people.

The surrounding vegetation became more and more dense, and beast roars of unknown species came from time to time. Su Chen had already secretly gripped the Light Shield Card he bought and was ready to summon Gatomon at any time.

Fierce beasts are distributed everywhere away from people.

In such a desolate place, the biggest threat is the fierce beasts of unknown cultivation that may appear at any time.

There were more and more trees, thicker and thicker, with tangled vines, dense thorns, and abandoned buildings perfectly integrated with the vegetation, causing the group to have to slow down their pace.

The burly man and the three followers even released their own Life-Bound Demon Cards on the grounds of safety.

"There is an open space ahead, why don't we go there to rest!"

Jiang Hanlu suddenly suggested.

Su Chen looked up and found a flat ground poured with concrete. It looked like it was a square a long time ago.

They had been walking for a long time, and everyone was a bit tired, so they found places to lie or sit.

Since they were already quite far from the main city, at the suggestion of the class beauty, everyone summoned their own Life-Bound summons.

"Su Chen, are you still living alone?"

"Where is your family?"

Jiang Hanlu sat beside Su Chen and asked casually.

"They all sacrificed themselves when fighting against fierce beasts."

As if connected to some events in his memory, several faces flashed in his mind. Su Chen felt a wave of sadness surging in his heart, and a bit of melancholy hung on his face just right.

"Is that so? That's really great!"

Jiang Hanlu whispered, and a smile climbed onto the corners of her mouth again.

"What did you say?"

Seemingly because of a few beast roars suddenly coming, Su Chen didn't hear the words behind clearly.

"I mean, my condolences."

"Thank you, it's been a few years," Su Chen sighed long and said, "It's actually quite good for me like this, relatively free."

A while later, Jiang Hanlu started talking again:

"Su Chen, I have never seen an original Life-Bound Demon Card like yours!"

The class beauty turned around, her watery eyes fixed on Su Chen.

"So, can you... can you show me your battle pet?"

Along the way, the class beauty probed and set traps in various ways, and at this time she hinted for Su Chen to show his battle pet. If it were normal, it might not be very obvious, but now that Su Chen was already on guard, it seemed very deliberate, even ridiculous.

"Su Chen, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Su Chen rubbed the tip of his nose with his finger, trying to change the subject:

"That's not important, didn't you want to see my Life-Bound Card?"

The strength gap was huge, Su Chen had the victory in his grasp, so he didn't mind this, but instead cooperated very well and summoned his card-controlled battle pet:

"Gatomon, come out!"

Source Energy surged, deep green light shot in all directions, and a white kitten with a metal ring on its tail appeared out of thin air, with a trace of blue that was almost invisible to the naked eye accompanying it.

"Meow~"

The soft, waxy cry and the very deceptive appearance attracted everyone's attention.

"Is this the Green-grade beast-taming pet?"

"This time, we've struck it rich!"

The social big brother remained calm on the surface, restraining his straight gaze a little.

"Such a cute little guy, I really can't imagine it would be Green quality!"

Jiang Hanlu smiled and wanted to step forward to pet Gatomon, but who knew Gatomon didn't look at her at all, jumped onto Su Chen's shoulder in two or three steps and squatted down, its little head held high proudly, not looking at the class beauty's hand stopped in the air at all.

"Hahahahaha, it even has a little temper, the little guy is so cute!"

"However, things like beast-taming pets should listen to their master and have less temper, don't you think so, Su Chen?"

The class beauty's eyes narrowed slightly, smiling very deliberately, and her hands behind her back made a few gestures.

The social brother and the others understood, and they all stood up. Only then did Su Chen discover that the positions they chose when resting had faintly sealed off all of Su Chen's retreat routes.

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light shot out from Su Chen's eyes.

"Everyone...."

"What does this mean?"
