Chapter 341
Three Gold-rank Beastmasters clutched their heads and collapsed writhing on the ground!
Their Gold-rank beast companions were no better, rolling in agony across the earth.
The members of the Tenth Squad were about to advance and kill these surviving Beastmasters and their beasts, when they saw them stagger back to their feet.
One Gold-rank Beastmaster pulled out a short sword and stabbed himself in the chest.
The other two Beastmasters choked each other's throats simultaneously and died.
The fate of those Gold-rank beast companions was equally grim.
Su Yang kept hearing the system's voice announcing experience gains.
The Gold-rank Beastmaster of the Tenth Squad stared at the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly behind Su Yang, at a loss for words.
"Then let it be this way!"
Su Yang felt the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly had become addicted to stealing experience.
The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly might not hear the system's prompts, but after being nurtured by Su Yang for so long and benefiting from the Beast Nurturing System, it likely had realized it could grow stronger through killing.
Spirit-type ferocious beasts are naturally intelligent.
Su Yang also knew well the personality of his Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly—it adored lurking in shadows and striking from ambush.
Most of its opponents never knew how they died.
"You three—who speaks?"
Su Yang looked at Ying Xiong, Wu Ming, and Yin Xingchang.
Ying Xiong, Wu Ming, and Yin Xingchang gritted their teeth, displaying a certain stoic bravery.
Or perhaps they believed dying violently was still dying, and refused to let Su Yang win.
Su Yang emphasized: "I only need one person to guide us!"
Standing behind Su Yang was the Beastmaster who had exposed them.
"I'll tell you—I know where those children are hidden!"
"Commander, let me lead you there!"
"Commander, if we'd known that child was a relative of your Emergency Squad, we would never have acted!"
"..."
Ying Xiong, Wu Ming, and Yin Xingchang all stepped forward, vying to lead Su Yang and the others.
"You—answered wrong!" Su Yang pointed at the last Beastmaster to step forward. "What do you mean 'if we'd known they were Emergency Squad members' relatives, we wouldn't have acted'? Are other people's relatives fair game?"
Su Yang extended his hand; the Beastmaster shrank back in terror.
The man opened his mouth to speak, then bled from all seven orifices and collapsed, life extinguished.
Su Yang's hand remained suspended in midair...
He retracted his hand, rubbed his chin, his expression calm.
It looked as if he'd simply wanted to reach for his chin.
Lifting the unconscious Gold-rank Beastmaster, Su Yang pointed to the two who had stepped forward together. "You two—you both moved at once. Lucky for you—lead us together!"
