Chapter 2667: Choosing Ferocious Beasts

Ye Liuyun patted the Hunting Falcon, let it take off, and then retorted to her: "We aren't even familiar."

I saved your life, and you never said a thank you; why should I discuss money with you?

The maid then recalled that Ye Liuyun had appeared to rescue her; otherwise she might never have seen Ye Liuyun.

And she had also misunderstood Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun not only didn't get angry with her, but also promised to protect her, which was already quite good.

So she felt a bit guilty.

But since Ye Liuyun spoke that way, she couldn't show weakness, so she retorted directly: "Then it's best we talk about money!"

Clearly, this attitude meant she didn't want to thank him.

Ye Liuyun was too lazy to spar with her; after the Hunting Falcon rose higher, he began earnestly making money, surveying the ferocious beasts below.

Soon, he locked onto a flying horned horse.

This flying horned horse not only had great stamina and excelled at flight, but its Divine Soul Power was also strong.

So Ye Liuyun ordered the Hunting Falcon to dive down, lest the flying horned horse escape.

When the flying horned horse saw the Hunting Falcon, it really wanted to flee.

Only it wasn't as fast in a dive as the Hunting Falcon.

Ye Liuyun and his party instantly flew to the horse's side and placed a Slave Seal on it.

Then, Ye Liuyun directly made the horse recognize the maid as master, helping them sign a Master-Servant Contract.

"What kind of ferocious beast is this? It has no real attack power! At most it's half a beast!"

The maid was still somewhat dissatisfied.

She thought the horse wasn't fierce at all, merely a flying tool.

Ye Liuyun didn't argue, just told her: "Ride this flying horned horse and follow me; it'll also let you get used to its flight ability and Divine Sense detection range.

Its Divine Sense detection range is far broader than yours."

Saying that, Ye Liuyun once again rode the Hunting Falcon, soaring into the heights.

The maid also rode the flying horned horse, chasing after Ye Liuyun.

But she soon discovered that when the flying horned horse flapped its wings, it could whip up a gale attack.

Moreover, its cruising speed truly matched Ye Liuyun's claim, faster than her previous golden Roc.

And because Ye Liuyun's Hunting Falcon was so fast, she couldn't even see where he went, yet the flying horned horse could still detect their trail.

"Looks like it's decent!"

She thought to herself, "Sure enough, the beastmaster has an eye!"

He made six attempts, capturing seven different ferocious beasts of the Third Layer Realm, then stopped and let her choose five to take.

The maid looked at the seven beasts before her, and was also at a loss for words.

Flying horned horse, Dragon Elephant, transparent white silkworm, poison scorpion, fire crystal Qingshe, long-armed ape, white Nine-tailed Fox—none matched the criteria she had used before.

These beasts were either too docile or too small, offering no deterrent to opponents.

"You went to such trouble just to pick these beasts to make things difficult for me?"

She asked Ye Liuyun displefully.

Ye Liuyun was also quite satisfied with the beasts he had chosen.

While selecting the beasts, he was marveling at how many varieties of ferocious beasts existed in the world.

Hearing the maid's dissatisfaction with his choices, he understood she didn't grasp the subtle uses of these beasts.

He didn't explain to the maid, but instead mounted the Dragon Elephant, had her follow him, and continued toward the Zhuanzai Yichong Realm's beast zone.

Soon, the flying horned horse, fire crystal Qingshe, and white Nine-tailed Fox all signaled, detecting a steel-scaled tiger of Zhuanzai Yichong ahead.

The maid was also surprised; she hadn't noticed, but the beasts had already detected it.

Ye Liuyun immediately leapt down from the beasts with the maid and asked, "These beasts—three or four against a Zhuanzai Yichong steel-scaled tiger—do you think we have a chance?"

The maid didn't understand what he meant, but still shook her head.

"There's definitely no chance; even if we go up, we might not be a match for that steel-scaled tiger!"

She said confidently.

"Fine, then I'll let you see these beasts' strength!"

Ye Liuyun said, and again placed a Slave Seal on the horned horse, regaining control.

Then he divided the beasts into groups.

He had the long-armed ape ride the Dragon Elephant, paired with the white Nine-tailed Fox, to battle the steel-scaled tiger.

The flying horned horse, transparent white silkworm, and fire crystal Qingshe were tasked with interception.

The poison scorpion wasn't used and perched on Ye Liuyun's shoulder awaiting orders.

Soon, the steel-scaled tiger leapt out.

The Dragon Elephant thundered forward, dragging the long-armed ape straight toward the steel-scaled tiger.

The white Nine-tailed Fox stayed by the Dragon Elephant's side, advancing together.

Although the steel-scaled tiger's Physical Body was sturdy, when faced with a massive creature like the Dragon Elephant, it feared being trampled, instantly dodged and tried a side attack.

At that moment, the long-armed ape seized the elephant's trunk, swung its body outward, and smashed a punch into its head.

"Boom" a muffled thud; although the steel-scaled tiger's armor was heavy, the long-armed ape's punch was powerful, its whole force concentrated in the arm, and this blow made the tiger see stars.

The white Nine-tailed Fox leapt, instantly reversed in midair, and released a puff of bewildering smoke from its tail toward it.

At that moment, the Dragon Elephant lifted its trunk, flinging the long-armed ape back onto its back to avoid inhaling the toxic smoke, while continuing to trample toward the steel-scaled tiger.

The steel-scaled tiger, having taken a punch and been hit by the bewildering smoke, felt dizzy.

But it still felt the Dragon Elephant's ground‑shaking steps, realized the danger, and immediately leapt backward, wobbling as it tried to flee.

"Stop it!"

Ye Liuyun gave an order; the Flying Heaven Horned Horse flew down from the sky, kicked up a fierce wind, making the Steel Qilin Tiger strain just to open its eyes.

At this moment, the Fire Crystal Green Snake's slender body coiled around the base of its tail, bit it, and then burned through its scales with flame power.

"Roar!"

The Steel Qilin Tiger felt pain, realized it couldn't beat these beasts working together, and sped up its escape.

But the Transparent White Silkworm had already laid a net of silk in front of it.

The silk was completely transparent, invisible to the naked eye.

Even if the Steel Qilin Tiger's scales were harder, they could not withstand the cutting of silk as fine as a thread.

The front half of the Steel Qilin Tiger, using its momentum, was sliced into many pieces by the transparent silk, scattering to the ground with a 'plop'.

"Withdraw the silk, and this Steel Qilin Tiger is yours!"

Ye Liuyun then gave the order.

The maid stared dumbfounded; she never expected that in just a few exchanges, a Steel Qilin Tiger would be torn apart before these beasts of various sizes.

She also suddenly understood Ye Liuyun's intention: to let her discover the strengths of these beasts so she could make a choice.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun demonstrated the power of these beasts using different combinations.

Some opponents were killed by the inconspicuous venomous scorpion; others were first hit by the bewildering smoke, then trampled to death by the Dragon Elephant.

But without exception, they were all beasts of the Zhuanzai Yichong realm.

Moreover, they were the fierce beasts she had thought formidable, yet she never expected they would be no match against these beasts.

Venomous scorpions, Fire Crystal Green Snakes, and Transparent White Silkworms excel at ambush and setting traps; Dragon Elephants excel at attack and defense; Flying Heaven Horned Horses excel at flight and reconnaissance; Long-armed Apes are the main strength-type force; Nine-tailed White Foxes are wise support and can also bear the burden of Spiritual Soul Attack.
