Chapter 326: The Unscrupulous, Heartless Beast Tamer—Su Yang!

"Can you make them come over?"

Su Yang asked the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, and it nodded.

A subtle mental ripple spread out.

Those ferocious beasts quickly surged toward another relatively flat gap, but after running a few steps toward it, they recoiled as if seeing some terrifying beast, then changed direction and charged toward Su Yang.

"What did you make them see?"

Su Yang asked curiously.

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly replied: "It's you, Master!"

"Am I that scary?"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly nodded seriously: "That big bear is super scary!"

"What about them? They don't seem to see me!"

"Five-senses illusion technique—Master, go ahead and act. They won't see you; I'll coordinate with you. Every dead ferocious beast, in their eyes, was killed by the Hellblood Vine Flower!" the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly whispered, "... But I suggest Master prioritize killing Platinum-level ferocious beasts; confusing their five senses drains me greatly."

"Alright, no problem!"

Su Yang punched one Great Earth Bear to death, and the other ferocious beasts didn't even look at him, only slightly avoiding the corpse's position.

The five-senses illusion technique worked remarkably well.

As the killing continued, fewer ferocious beasts emerged, and Su Yang began moving into the canyon.

Sometimes he encountered ferocious beasts just parasitized by the Hellblood Vine Flower, and he'd give them a quick death!

Stealing his own pet's experience points—only Su Yang could pull that off.

After following Su Yang for several months, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly also discovered

that it could level up through constant killing.

Secretly killing ferocious beasts already parasitized and severely wounded by the Hellblood Vine Flower wasn't the first time it had done this.

During the defense battle in Jiacheng, it had already tried it!

The Hellblood Vine Flower's parasitism is a slow death, and during this period, there's a certain degree of operability.

Ferocious beasts with severe physical injuries mostly have weak minds—a single mental shock can send them to death!

It lets me level up faster!

It feels amazing!

Of course, the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly would never tell the Hellblood Vine Flower about this.

No matter what it did, it always preferred to act secretly.

It wouldn't be as blatant as Su Yang and that big bear!

"Ding~ Your pet Hellblood Vine Flower has leveled up to Platinum Low-Grade,"

"Ding~ Your pet Hellblood Vine Flower has learned the Wood-element skill—Flying Leaf Blade!"

The slaughter lasted until late night; most ferocious beasts drawn by the Spirit-God Fruit died in the canyon.

Only a small number, not parasitized by the Hellblood Vine Flower and not encountering Su Yang or Storm-Eagle, escaped.

With Su Yang, Storm-Eagle, and the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly frantically competing for experience, the Hellblood Vine Flower still hadn't reached Platinum Mid-Grade.

For some reason, seeing this result, Su Yang couldn't help but laugh!

Even he sometimes felt his own Beast Tamer was utterly unscrupulous.

But after the Hellblood Vine Flower drained all its offshoots, the experience gained was now very close to Platinum Mid-Grade!

In just one large-scale battle, the Hellblood Vine Flower—never a priority for Su Yang's cultivation—rose from Gold Top-Grade to nearly Platinum Mid-Grade, clearly demonstrating its killing power and destructive force!

Without it, Su Yang couldn't have held so many ferocious beasts.

Su Yang swiftly cleared the battlefield, collecting the most valuable items from the ferocious beasts, then let his pets feast before leaving.

Finding a flat area, Su Yang released Storm-Eagle to patrol, set up his tent, and settled in, gnawing on dried meat while checking the reward for the Spirit-God Fruit he'd seized during the day.

It can raise any pet's talent by one rank.

Su Yang first considered the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly.

If the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly gained a Mythical-level mental resistance talent, it would become a true killer of mental-type ferocious beasts!

But he reconsidered—recently, the Hellblood Vine Flower had behaved extremely obediently.

It had even woven a vine chair to please him.

Not giving it a reward would be unjust.

As for the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, Su Yang decided to delay it slightly.

When he returned to Wucheng, he would compete for the position of 14th Squad in the Emergency Unit.

Given Wucheng's strong foundation and the importance of the 14th Squad Commander position, his opponents then would certainly be powerful.

Based on his understanding of the system, the system would likely issue some quests.

He could upgrade the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly then.

He stepped out of the tent and summoned the Hellblood Vine Flower.

"You've performed well lately—worked hard. This is your reward!"

Su Yang placed his hand solemnly on one of the Hellblood Vine Flower's vines, his face serious, striving to create a sense of ceremony.

As if sensing this solemn, mysterious atmosphere, the Hellblood Vine Flower's writhing vines all stopped.

"Ding~ Your pet Hellblood Vine Flower's Common-level talent Lush Roots has been upgraded to Rare-level Lush Roots!"

Lush Roots enhances the Hellblood Vine Flower's control, combat, and survival capabilities.

As long as its roots are robust enough, neither it nor its offshoots will be yanked out of the ground by stronger ferocious beasts, as happened in Jiacheng.
