They began to pay close attention to their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worm beasts could appear at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should stand behind me,\" Harris instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night didn’t argue. He and his Head Guard positioned themselves behind Harris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris also started scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the scent of the special liquid had reached a group of worm beasts, including a Tier-5 Worm Beast and several Tier-4 Worm Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-5 Worm Beast awoke from its recovery, its injuries not yet fully healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the alluring smell was too strong. The Tier-5 Worm Beast wanted to investigate, and the Tier-4 and lower-tier worm beasts had a similar reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent from the hundred bottles had also attracted other dangerous corrupted beasts, including insect-type corrupted beasts, scorpions, and centipedes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the strongest were Tier-4 and Tier-3 corrupted beasts, unlike the Tier-5 Worm Beast. The lower-tier beasts began rushing toward the source of the smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Jeremy Night used his eye ability to observe the area. Initially, he had intended to locate the Tier-5 Worm Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Commander Harris’s words made him realize his mistake. He had been careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the chances of encountering high-tier beasts were low, a large number of lower-tier beasts could be drawn to the special liquid’s scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he waited for the corrupted beasts to appear. The Head Guard, a Tier-4 Beast Tamer, understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His job was to protect Young Master Jeremy Night from the corrupted beasts, but he knew Jeremy could handle a Tier-5 Beast on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resolved to do his part to assist the young master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris and the four beast tamers remained vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, low-tier beasts appeared in their line of sight, flying insects over three to four feet in height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more than fifty of them, all Tier-2 and Tier-3 corrupted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of the bug-type corrupted beasts caused everyone’s expressions to change drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male beast tamer, furious, turned to Jeremy and said, \"Told you so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy didn’t respond. Instead, he focused on the bug-type corrupted beasts. He had never encountered them in such large numbers before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, clear them out,\" Harris ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, everyone began using their talents to kill the bug-type corrupted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris refrained from fighting, instead observing the surroundings for larger threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one summoned their lifeline beasts, as eliminating the low-tier corrupted beasts was manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy drew his blade to attack, choosing not to use his starlight energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple swing of his blade was enough to kill a beast. The bug-type beasts began attacking the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puchak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night effortlessly cut them down, cleaving the small-sized bug beasts in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered on the ground, but he didn’t stop swinging his katana blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, he continued to kill the corrupted beasts with ease. The Head Guard of the Night Family did his part as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harris observed everything, unsurprised. However, the four beast tamers were shocked. They knew Jeremy Night was only a Tier-2 Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he was taking down Tier-2 and Tier-3 corrupted beasts effortlessly without using his lifeline beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and within an hour, all fifty-plus Tier-2 and Tier-3 corrupted beasts were dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was soaked with beast blood, and the beast tamers’ clothes were drenched as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Harris raised his eyebrows. He sensed something dangerous approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get back!\" he shouted. \"The Tier-5 Worm Beast is probably here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four beast tamers quickly moved behind Harris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy instructed his Head Guard to stand behind him, sensing that the Tier-5 Worm Beast might target him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hundred meters ahead, the ground exploded. A Tier-5 Worm Beast, over twenty feet tall, emerged from the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following it were ten Tier-4 Worm Beasts and more than twenty Tier-3 Worm Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The special liquid had also attracted other hidden corrupted beasts. Several scorpions and centipedes emerged from the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast tamers were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy squinted his eyes and immediately coated his blade with starlight energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take down the Tier-4 beasts,\" Harris said before charging toward the Tier-5 Worm Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-5 Worm Beast spotted the human beast tamers and recognized one of them as prey from the previous day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Possessing intelligence, it deduced that the humans had lured it out with the special smell, which ended at this spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It noticed a middle-aged human charging toward it and felt a sense of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-5 Worm Beast attempted to flee, burrowing underground. Harris, keeping his eyes on the beast, pursued it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the four beast tamers summoned their lifeline beasts to deal with the Tier-4 corrupted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, I’ll take care of it,\" the Head Guard said before stepping forward to face the corrupted beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned his lifeline beast to fight as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy remained still, silently observing the situation. The Tier-5 Worm Beast had come and fled, but something felt off. He couldn’t pinpoint it, but he trusted his instincts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something else was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A worm beast lunged at him. Jeremy swung his blade downward, cleaving it in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spread across the ground as he continued to strike at the beasts approaching him, all while keeping an eye on the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, the male beast tamer glanced at Jeremy. Seeing the young man holding his own, he was shocked to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female beast tamers were even more terrified. They had never heard of this young man before, and they were astounded that he was fighting without using his lifeline beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they turned to their own battles. As time passed, the team became separated as they tried to chase the fleeing beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Jeremy Night and the Head Guard remained, standing and fighting at the original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy told the Head Guard to stay back, saying he would venture deeper to investigate. The Head Guard hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jeremy assured him that he was only going to scout the area and would return soon.\u003C\u002Fp>",1022,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.484Z",1,"novelbin.me","77970e3054d4e62005b5c39eac7c8acdc54ab341268e57bc2739a90c22b7b72f","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-387","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-386",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
