Chapter 247: You Can Level Up While Doing Missions! This Giant Strength Python Is Great!

Ten Gold-rank Beastmasters hurried to their barracks to pack their gear; one member of the Seventh Squad chuckled:

"When Su Yang gets serious, he actually has a certain air of authority!"

Xu Jiutian countered: "What, you're not convinced?"

The Seventh Squad member replied awkwardly: "Not at all—I've actually owed him my life before, back in Jiacheng, when his Hellblood Vine saved me… I just can't get used to how young he looks!"

Xu Jiutian nodded too: "Honestly, I'm not used to it either, but I think we'll get used to it eventually."

"True enough—it's clear Commander Zhu wants to train him!"

"We might as well follow him. For this beast-capture mission, he's definitely the right leader—we'd have wasted far more time without him!"

"…"

After registering his departure at the gate, Su Yang had all ten members of the Seventh Squad gathered at the entrance within just ten minutes.

This pleased Su Yang greatly.

"Let's go!"

Leaving the camp, Su Yang immediately released Storm Eagle, which soared high and vanished into the cloud layer.

The other ten Beastmasters watched Storm Eagle with envy and each released their own six Gold-rank flying-type beasts.

"Captain, would you like to ride my Azure Cloud Eagle?"

Xu Jiutian asked voluntarily.

"Yes!"

Su Yang's Storm Eagle always operated at high altitude for reconnaissance.

Ordinary Gold-rank flying-type beasts couldn't reach that height.

Su Yang had to follow the main group and remotely control Storm Eagle.

Xu Jiutian's Azure Cloud Eagle was docile and showed no resistance to Su Yang.

Su Yang mounted the Azure Cloud Eagle, oriented himself, and immediately ordered the squad to move out.

Azure Cloud Eagle flew at the front, followed by five Gold-rank flying-type beasts carrying the other nine Beastmasters.

They flew over the safety zone of Changwu City, then over cultivated fields.

Along the way, they encountered other Beastmasters, who merely nodded in greeting and hurried past.

As the group entered Mount Yandang, every Beastmaster's expression turned serious.

Su Yang continued to consult his map, orienting himself toward the canyon.

Two days later, they broke through Mount Yandang's outer perimeter and pressed deeper.

"Descend! A flock of Skyward Sparrows is approaching!"

"Got it!"

All eleven Beastmasters dropped to the ground.

Soon, hundreds of Skyward Sparrows flew overhead.

The ten Gold-rank Beastmasters felt relieved—though Skyward Sparrows were only Silver-rank flying-type beasts, their swarms were not to be trifled with.

Here, their five Gold-rank flying-type beasts were all carrying riders; engaging in battle would leave both sides vulnerable!

But they forgot: Su Yang still had Storm Eagle, unburdened!

A black shadow flashed across the sky as Storm Eagle plummeted from above.

The Skyward Sparrows had no time to react before Storm Eagle dove into their midst.

Storm Eagle spread its razor-sharp wings, slicing every Skyward Sparrow it touched into pieces.

The black shadow darted through the flock in mere leaps, scattering blood and feathers everywhere.

An ordinary Gold-rank flying-type beast, facing a hundred Silver-rank beasts, would never dare attack.

But Su Yang's Storm Eagle was simply too strong!

Within a few breaths, all hundred Silver-rank beasts were annihilated.

After wiping out the Skyward Sparrows, Storm Eagle shot straight into the heavens and vanished into the boundless sky.

Hearing a string of system experience point notifications, Su Yang smiled.

Even while on a mission, you can still sneak in time to level up your beast.

"What was that just now?"

"A hundred Skyward Sparrows vanished in an instant!"

"I didn't even catch it!"

"The depths of Mount Yandang are truly dangerous!"

"Captain, did you see your Storm Eagle?"

When someone asked him, Su Yang replied directly: "That was my Storm Eagle!"

"Ah~"

Su Yang nodded seriously: "It's just faster than yours—no wonder you didn't see it clearly."

Su Yang had no intention of hiding it; eventually, they'd all see it in combat together.

Su Yang said: "Let's keep moving!"

"Alright!"

The ten Gold-rank Beastmasters looked at Su Yang's back, their expressions now grave.

They knew well: with Storm Eagle's speed, even they, as Gold-rank Beastmasters, could be instantly slain.

It was too fast!

Too fast for them to even see!

With Storm Eagle's aerial reconnaissance and Earthquake Bear's threat detection, the ten Beastmasters were safely led by Su Yang to a desolate forest one hundred and thirty li from the canyon.

"There are no Gold-grade ferocious beasts nearby; rest here while I follow the Fengzhiying Gang to find targets for you!"

"Understood, Captain, be careful!"

"..."

After Su Yang left, the two Beast Tamer released their flying-type familiars to stand guard.

The others sat down.

"It's so reassuring to follow Su Yang—we haven't encountered anything at all."

"Exactly! Three years ago, I came here and ran into a Black Tiger Hawk—several people died!"

"No wonder Captain Zhu sent Su Yang to lead us!"

"..."

Standing on the back of the Fengzhiying, Su Yang quickly spotted a Gold-grade Giant Power Python.

After glancing at the Giant Power Python's stats, he leapt off the eagle's back and crushed it into two pieces with a single stomp.

No other reason—it had zero talents and utterly pathetic skills.

During these days of travel, the squad members had strictly followed Su Yang's orders.

This pleased Su Yang greatly.

Since they would all fight side by side in the future, Su Yang wanted to help them find familiars with decent talents.

Ferocious beasts with mediocre strength were not worth it.

Emmm... Su Yang could also upgrade his own familiar along the way!

Since it was Breeding season for python-type ferocious beasts, and with the Fengzhiying present, he wasn't worried about wasting time.

Besides, improving a familiar's strength could never be considered a waste of time.

After slaying another seven or eight Giant Power Pythons and Black Forest Vipers, Su Yang finally found a Gold Mid-Grade Giant Power Python with two common talents; the python was crawling straight toward the canyon.

Su Yang immediately returned to find his squad members: "Come on—I found a promising Giant Power Python, Gold Mid-Grade. Who wants it?"

The ten squad members saw the blood on Su Yang's clothes but asked nothing; they mounted their flying familiars and followed right behind.

The Giant Power Python, of course, couldn't outrun Gold-grade flying familiars; soon, Su Yang and the others hovered above it.

Su Yang evaluated calmly and objectively: "This Gold Mid-Grade Giant Power Python is significantly larger than a typical specimen of its rank—its strength should be greater too. I think it's quite good!"

Thanks to Su Yang's reminder, the ten squad members now saw the Giant Power Python's excellence!

Everyone felt tempted.

"Let me have it!"
