Chapter 509

The Hell Blood Vine Flower was clearly somewhat dissatisfied with this answer.

However, even if she was dissatisfied, what could she do?

"Alright, let's begin!"

"Then I'll go first!"

"Mm!"

"Ding~ Your pet beast Hell Blood Vine Flower's Rare-grade talent 'Root Prosperity' has upgraded to Peerless-grade!"

The Hell Blood Vine Flower's roots were enhanced, and the benefits were quite significant.

Like this time, when the Hell Blood Vine Flower was controlling the Dragon Frost Spider, it wasn't uprooted by the Dragon Frost Spider!

"Ding~ Your pet beast Ice Moon Elf's Peerless-grade 'Freeze' talent has upgraded to Mythical-grade talent — 'Ice-Sealing the World'!"

"Ding~ Your pet beast Ice Moon Elf's talent has improved, and its growth potential has increased from Sovereign-Rank High-Grade to Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade!"

Ice-Sealing the World: Significantly enhances the pet beast's ice-type skill freezing ability, significantly reduces the energy consumed when freezing enemies. Enemies that have been frozen, even if they can break free from the ice, will have their movement speed significantly reduced.

Seeing the Ice Moon Elf's Mythical-grade 'Ice-Sealing the World' talent, a smile appeared on Su Yang's face.

Now, the Ice Moon Elf's crowd control ability has been greatly improved again!

When he improves the Ice Moon Elf's ice crystal strength slightly in the future, its control ability will definitely make the fierce beasts feel what despair is!

The Ice Moon Elf stretched out its hand, and ice-blue ice crystals appeared in its palm.

It could clearly feel that the ice crystals in its hand were different from before.

It stretched out its snow-white wrist, and a breath of frost sprayed out; the ice crystals rapidly spread over a thousand meters across the spider fierce beast's corpse.

"This..."

The Ice Moon Elf's eyes were full of surprise!

Su Yang whispered to it: "Your growth potential has now been upgraded to Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade!"

"Thank you... Su, Master!"

"You should still call me Major!"

The Ice Moon Elf whispered: "Liu Mengyun is not here, I can call you Master!"

Hearing the Ice Moon Elf's words, the smile on the Hell Blood Vine Flower's face gradually turned cold: "It's only Sovereign-Rank, is there a need to be that happy? My growth potential is now God-Rank, and I can become a true God-Rank pet beast in the future!"

The Hell Blood Vine Flower always felt that the Ice Moon Elf was somewhat of a threat to it.

Su Yang has many pet beasts, but in the past, it was the only one that could truly transform into a human form!

Yet, he signed another human-like pet beast!

The Ice Moon Elf looked at Su Yang, and Su Yang encouraged it: "It's okay, you can continue to improve!"

The Ice Moon Elf took Su Yang's other hand and hid behind him.

"You two must get along well in the future, understand?"

The Ice Moon Elf whispered in Su Yang's ear: "I listen to Master!"

Su Yang looked at the Hell Blood Vine Flower, which hadn't expressed its stance.

The Hell Blood Vine Flower had no choice but to answer: "I understand!"

In front of Su Yang, two arrogant fierce beasts cannot be arrogant.

As long as they have been Su Yang's pet beasts, no one is willing to leave.

Only Su Yang can help them change their predetermined commands, change their talents, and become another, higher-level life form!

"Alright, both of you go back!"

Early the next morning, Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun sat on the back of the Black Tiger Eagle and flew toward Ruzhang City.

On the ground, several Gray-Toothed Rats were digging holes on a small mound.

Soon, they dragged out a human corpse.

Su Yang noticed that the corpse had gray hair and should have been an old man.

This was not the first time they had seen such a situation.

Along the way, the most common sights were old people who had died; they were old and frail, making it difficult to persist in long-distance travel.

Being buried by someone was already a very good treatment.

From Wanyang City to Ruzhang City, Su Yang only needed less than two or three days.

But for civilians wanting to cross this distance, it would take at least more than a month.

And that's with beastmasters escorting them.

Without beastmaster protection, ordinary people traveling in the wilderness is no different from suicide.

Su Yang also knew that in the abandoned Wanyang City, there should still be people who hadn't left.

However, that was their choice.

That afternoon, the sun slanted to the west, and the golden afterglow spilled onto the earth.

Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun both saw a dense crowd of people.

Tens of thousands of civilians were marching on the barren land, with beastmasters sporadically distributed along the edges of the formation.

Some beastmasters were riding on pet beasts, while others were riding on flying pet beasts.

They had summoned almost all their pet beasts, protecting the civilians' safety along the way.

However, among tens of thousands of civilians, the number of beastmasters still appeared extremely scarce!

Since the establishment of the Huaxia Federation, one of the spirits passed down by the military is to protect civilians.

After the Cataclysm, the status of beastmasters was greatly elevated, but the military still firmly controlled the power, barely maintaining stability!

Any beastmaster who wants to join the military must also follow the military's slightly strict rules.

Could it be that all the beastmasters in the Wanyang City military were willing to protect civilians like this?

Of course not!

But they are soldiers!

Applying for discharge, as long as the reason is sufficient and the attitude is firm, the military generally won't force them to stay!

They will only withdraw some benefits depending on the situation.

Deserting in the face of battle is punishable by execution!

The mission of Su Yang's 14th Emergency Squad included the task of hunting down deserters.

However, there were no deserters that required him to hunt down personally for the time being.

The captain of the 7th Squad, Su Yang's old superior Zhu Zhu Xiaoshuang, had once received such a mission.

She hunted down a City Lord who abandoned the city and fled!

Yu Hao and Tan Shulong immediately flew over on their pet beasts as soon as they saw Su Yang and Liu Liu Mengyun.

"Captain Su, you're back?" Yu Hao said happily. "That's truly great. We were still worried about you. Captain Hao just said he wanted to go back and take a look!"

"Where is Captain Hao?"

"He went on patrol!"

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded. "Another wave of beast tide came later, but it was repelled by Lieutenant Liu and me. We waited for a few days, and after discovering no more fierce beasts were attacking, we came back."

I don't know if it was an illusion.

Yu Hao seemed to see disappointment on Su Yang's face.

It must be an illusion!

In this day and age, who would hope to encounter a fierce beast tide?

Soon, Yu Hao noticed more critical information: "Captain Su and Lieutenant Liu repelled the beast tide by yourselves?"

"Mm!" Su Yang didn't hide it. "Is there a problem?"

"No! No! No problem!"

City Lord Yu replied hurriedly.

If it were any other Platinum-grade beastmaster claiming to have repelled a beast tide, Yu Hao would definitely think the other party was bragging.

But Su Yang is different!

Yu Hao had fought alongside Su Yang and knew Su Yang's combat power!

Especially that Hell Blood Vine Flower, that ability to directly turn the tide of battle was truly too incredible!

Su Yang asked: "Have you encountered any danger in the past few days?"

"Actually, it's been okay. We haven't gone far from Wanyang City, and the fierce beasts we've encountered in the past few days haven't been very powerful, but if we continue walking, it's hard to say!" Yu Hao replied with a smile. "But now that Captain Su is back, our pressure has been reduced quite a bit."
