At this time, it was not only the Tier-6 Beast that was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other insect beasts had come as well, including the one with the injured compound eyes. That Tier-6 Beast was more enraged than the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could still see, but its vision was not that great anymore after learning that the culprit went into the hideout to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast moved closer towards the access hatch. Now, the two Tier-6 Beasts were hovering near the access hatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the beasts were in a group like a dark cloud. The dark cloud was hovering in mid-air not far away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the Tsetse Fly insect beasts were in revenge mode. They wouldn’t leave until they killed the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other corrupted beasts in the vicinity had already fled. No one was near this area, including the Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because the area beyond this particular place was nothing but unexplored territory, which was all the more familiar to the Tsetse Fly Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they were not afraid of other dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the two Tier-6 Beasts were locked onto that access hatch...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatch door opened the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, four Tier-5 Beast Tamers appeared out of the underground basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them rushed outside to leave, but they were met with giant pairs of compound eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Beast Tamers saw the massive eyes of the beasts right above their heads. The next second, their hearts were gripped with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are doomed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Beast Tamers voiced their opinions out of extreme fear. They didn’t know what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all like frozen statues. The two Tier-6 Beasts didn’t expect the human Beast Tamers to come out from the hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were all the more ready to extract revenge from the human Beast Tamers. The situation was like an added bonus to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veteran Beast Tamers quickly collected their thoughts. They didn’t have time to inform their leader, Mike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Beast Tamers looked at each other’s faces. The next second, they decided to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had underestimated the ability of the Tier-6 Beasts. Their minute movements were under the scanner of the beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-6 Beasts had guessed what they were about to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could flee from the place, their bodies were pierced by the needle-like mouthparts of the Tier-6 Beasts in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the two Tier-6 Tsetse Fly Beasts began to drink blood from the bodies. In the blink of an eye, the four bodies became dry corpses without an ounce of blood left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, not even five minutes had passed, but the four Beast Tamers were killed by the Tier-6 Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did the two Tier-6 Corrupted Beasts feel good. They had gotten their kills and food after a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been pissed off by a Tier-3 Human Beast Tamer before. Now they had their revenge by killing other human Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the hunger of the two Tier-6 Beasts was not satisfied. The two beasts could sense the presence of other humans hiding inside the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the other fly beasts in the group wanted to join the fun as well, but the two Tier-6 Tsetse Fly Beasts didn’t give them a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued to look towards the access hatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mike and the other members were waiting for the senior members to return. As time went by, they received no response from the four Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike was feeling the heat. He was getting impatient. They had orders to dispatch; they couldn’t wait here all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mike felt the gazes of the other members. The eight members left there knew something was wrong, but they were not ready to voice their opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they could be the next ones sent to check the situation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time went by, the sound that was coming from above stopped. Now the place was quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members had relaxed expressions on their faces. They thought the corrupted beasts had gone for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, there was no problem for them anymore; they could do their jobs. Mike was obviously relaxed as well. He believed that the problem was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he was not ready to go outside to check the place himself. He once again sent four members to check the situation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, there were two Tier-5 Beast Tamers and two Tier-4 Beast Tamers. They went to check the situation outside. They were not afraid anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They believed that it was safe outside. What’s more, if there were any danger above, their lifeline beasts would have warned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Jeremy Night was watching the situation with his X-ray vision. He didn’t feel good about it. He, too, noticed that the noise had stopped coming from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the disturbing buzzing sound. He thought that the beasts could have left the place, but he still had lingering doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had done such damage to the Tier-6 Beast, he doubted the beast would leave without killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Beast Tamers who went earlier hadn’t returned. He thought they had likely died. Now it had been some time since the buzzing noise stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was eager to know what the four Beast Tamers would find out. He was surprised to know that no one bothered to check the hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have been hiding here, yet the leader isn’t even aware of my presence. Maybe he was so confident that he didn’t even bother to check the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the Tsetse Fly Beasts had stopped flying. Instead, they were resting on the ground right near the access hatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Tamers opened the access door and walked out. They saw nothing flying above their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their bodies froze in fear the next moment. The lifeline beasts in their mental zones felt something terrible hiding nearby. They were giving warnings to their contractors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Tamers were shocked to the core. They couldn’t move their bodies now.\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-05T18:52:58.979Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f96c462e515355da52f6f5a6ed0d5f2f6d99075ab3f67d69e8adc4d295a97ce","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-707","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-705",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
