Chapter 1298

The human-faced spider struggled, continuously pouring energy into the dark barrier, trying desperately to maintain its final line of defense, but Elder Yan Mo's explosion flame destroyed it too swiftly—it could not hold back.

After losing the protection of the Dark Heaven Barrier, the human-faced spider became like an egg stripped of its shell…

Su Yang's pet beast—anyone could take a bite.

Jin Lin the mermaid directly transformed the mountain terrain into Wang Yang.

As the human-faced spider was driven back step by step, Su Yang noticed that the imperial-tier ferocious beast following it seemed to sense something was wrong and wanted to flee.

Probably seeing the human-faced spider being utterly crushed, it lost the courage to act.

How could this be allowed?

Meat served right to his mouth—Su Yang would never let it slip away.

"Storm Eagle, Void Wraith, block those five imperial-tier ferocious beasts—don't let a single one escape!"

Su Yang immediately dispatched his two top generals.

"Elder Yan Mo, intercept and kill the king-tier flying ferocious beasts!"

Imperial-tier ferocious beasts and king-tier flying ferocious beasts were the most likely to escape their pursuit.

As long as they were stopped, the remaining ferocious beasts could be dealt with slowly by Su Yang's other pet beasts.

Su Yang also released the Earthquake Bear to rampage freely, while binding the Hellblood Vine to his body.

The Beast Tamer's Code: at all times, one must keep at least one pet beast inside the body, for any potential danger.

After all, the Hellblood Vine upgraded incredibly fast—it was already Su Yang's highest-level ferocious beast, so there was no need to compete with other pets for experience.

The human-faced spider lay on the ground, drenched all over.

Its face was exquisitely beautiful, exuding a pitiful, delicate charm—if one ignored its constantly twitching eight slender, long legs…

Leaving the battlefield aside, Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi landed before the human-faced spider.

Sovereign Jiazi sounded uncertain: "General Su, can you really subdue a beast emperor?"

Su Yang smiled: "Why not? Ferocious beasts have intelligence—we can reason with them!"

Sovereign Jiazi's face darkened.

If ferocious beasts could truly be reasoned with, how could humanity have ended up in this state?

Su Yang asked: "Can you speak human language?"

"So what? Kill me then!"

The human-faced spider gritted its teeth and spat out the words in hatred.

This reaction didn't surprise Su Yang.

If a beast emperor weren't a ruthless bastard, that would be strange.

"Sovereign Jiazi wants to subdue you as her pet—I think you're quite impressive!"

"You're dreaming—I will never submit to you!"

Su Yang asked seriously: "What if I offer you benefits?"

"Hah!" the human-faced spider sneered. "Do you think I'd be bought by a human beast tamer? I am a beast emperor, the emperor of ferocious beasts—what are you? How dare you demand my submission? Even if every ferocious beast in the world died, I would never submit!"

Su Yang whispered: "What if I could make you a divine-tier ferocious beast?"

"What? Are you serious?" the human-faced spider asked, doubtful. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Uh…"

Su Yang felt this was going too easily!

The human-faced spider had clearly wavered…

The human-faced spider snapped back to itself and declared with iron resolve: "Impossible! I will never submit to you damned beast tamers!"

"You possess the powerful enhancement talent of Dark Heaven Barrier, and a formidable talent in venom… Your mastered skills include Dark Heaven Barrier and venom spray… You have an augmentative skill, Toxic Halo, which enhances the venom effects of nearby venom-type ferocious beasts!"

After Su Yang finished listing these, the human-faced spider was stunned.

It felt that Su Yang understood it better than it understood itself.

"You're a human-faced spider, right?"

Su Yang extended his hand; his five fingers transformed into blood-red vines, lifting the prostrate human-faced spider into the air.

The human-faced spider slashed fiercely at the blood-red vines with its sharp blade-like legs—but not even the vine's skin was scratched…

A powerful sense of despair and defeat instantly flooded the human-faced spider's heart.

Since its debut until now, it had sailed smoothly—never before had it suffered such a crushing blow!

Its prized talents meant nothing before Su Yang's many pet beasts!

"Actually, you didn't lose unfairly today."

"Hmph! Are you trying to comfort me?" the human-faced spider retorted stubbornly. "I don't need anyone's pity—especially not from you hateful human beast tamers!"

"I'm not pitying you—I'm telling you the truth!" Su Yang said, staring into the human-faced spider's stubborn eyes. "Besides Storm Eagle and Elder Yan Mo, even Jin Lin the mermaid—and all my other pet beasts—each has talents and growth potential no weaker than yours… So you didn't lose unfairly, do you understand?"

"Impossible!" the human-faced spider shouted. "My talents are unique!"

"You just haven't met me," Su Yang said with a smile, seeing the human-faced spider's furious expression. "You can't even break through the defense of my plant-type pet beast!"

The human-faced spider took a breath, hung its head, and said nothing in rebuttal.

Even if it clung to its pride, the facts lay bare before it.

"Do you know why their battle talents are so strong? Why their growth potential is so high?"

"Born that way?"

"No—I trained them!"

The vines lifted the human-faced spider to Su Yang's face.

Su Yang extended his left hand and gently pinched its cheek.

The elasticity? Not bad!

The Human-Face Spider tilted its head and sank its fangs into his finger.

Su Yang didn't care at all — the Human-Face Spider couldn't break through his defense!

He gently nudged the Human-Face Spider's little tongue with his finger and asked softly, "Want divine-grade growth potential? Want more and stronger combat talents? If you do, all you need is to become our companion~"

There is no fierce beast that doesn't want to break through the shackles of its bloodline!

There is no fierce beast that doesn't want to grow stronger!

There is no living being that wants to die…

"Pah! How would I know whether you're lying to me?"

"Do I have any reason to lie to you? Even if we sign a contract, couldn't you still betray us?" Su Yang smiled. "Sign a contract with us! Consider it giving yourself a chance — a chance to become a divine-grade fierce beast!"

"Becoming our companion wouldn't disgrace you… The other companion beasts fighting alongside you each possess divine-grade potential!"

"Ding~ Your companion beast Three-Headed Demon Shark has leveled up to Emperor-Rank Mid-Grade!"

Su Yang noticed the Three-Headed Demon Shark was running low on energy, so he summoned it over.

The moment the Three-Headed Demon Shark appeared, it brought tremendous pressure upon Sovereign Jiazi.

Its massive body was like a slab of land!

The Three-Headed Demon Shark carried Su Yang, Sovereign Jiazi, and the Human-Face Spider into the sky.

"Human-Face Spider, take a good look at their strength!" Su Yang steadied the Human-Face Spider with vines and pointed at several battlefields. "Under my cultivation, every one of them is more outstanding than you!"

The Human-Face Spider looked toward the battlefields.

Just then, its two Emperor-Rank flying-type fierce-beast subordinates were torn apart outright by the Storm Eagle.

The eerie Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, the Void Wraiths flickering ceaselessly across the battlefield, and the Earth Berserker Bear that charged through, crushing fierce beasts into meat paste.

The Explosive Yan Mo, blasting away without restraint, blowing countless fierce beasts to pieces.

The Ice Moon Spirit, freezing everything and dividing the battlefield.
