If he were alive, he would have come back by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no chance of a Tier-8 Beast Tamer going to other zones without informing the governor; it was standard procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he thought that person was likely dead. He didn't think of going into the wilderness to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the next beast tide was imminent. He needed to focus on the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wilderness\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governors Leon and Orion were helping the nearby human settlements to clear out. Governor Leon was staying at one of the settlements, located half a mile from the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were corrupted beasts nearing the place. Leon sensed them coming close. If he were not there, the beasts would have reached the human settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon then found the beast count was more than a hundred. He decided to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful coercion was released from his body. The presence of the Tier-8 Beast Tamer was immediately felt by the corrupted beasts moving toward the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puchak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, the powerful coercion struck the bodies of the corrupted beasts. Upon contact, they blasted into pieces like watermelons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood-slicked parts scattered across the ground. All the beasts were dead without a doubt. The ground was dyed with blood. No other beasts were in the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon checked the surroundings. He wanted to know whether any other beasts were nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there were none, he quickened the process of helping the people leave the settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Tier-9 Black Centipede felt the disappearance of a large number of kin. The beast was intelligent. It immediately felt the aura of the Tier-8 Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, it had killed a Tier-8 Beast Tamer. It had eliminated one threat; now, it was time to eliminate one more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Black Centipede reduced its presence and started moving toward the human settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast was intelligent. Its size was huge, if it entered the open wilderness, its size would attract attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the beast started using the path through the unexplored region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It moved around to reach the human settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it headed toward its destination, the nearby corrupted beasts all fled. If they got near the Tier-9 corrupted beast, they would die under the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Black Centipede reached the human settlement. The beast spotted the Tier-8 human Beast Tamer and the humans leaving. The beast was enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, the Governor's lifeline beast screamed at him. Governor Leon's face changed drastically. He turned around and looked toward the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have forgotten its presence? He immediately felt the presence of the Tier-9 Black Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"F@ck,\" he uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of fleeing. He immediately forgot about the people; his job had been to help them move out, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He encountered a series of fast-moving black poison arrows all of a sudden. There were hundreds of poison arrows shot at them by the Tier-9 Black Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 corrupted beast targeted the humans as well. Leon tried to flee, but his body was hit by a series of arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black arrows were pure poison. They immediately corroded his physical defense and started destroying his organs. Governor Leon was shocked to the core. He was badly injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to flee the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, the black arrows landed on the ground. The poison arrows attacked the people who were fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon a single attack, people died. A single contact poisoned them to death. The old, the young, and the children were all under attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They screamed while running, but the poison arrows met them accurately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the people died in large numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Black Centipede saw the attack was successful. It didn't hold back and released more attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coercion of the Tier-9 beast was released. It was immediately felt by the corrupted beasts near the wilderness and the local Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was so terrifying that everyone felt it. They fell to the ground, unable to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies couldn't withstand the pressure. The Tier-3 and Tier-4 beasts were most affected; they collapsed on the spot and lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-5 and Tier-6 Beast Taming teams doing missions in the wilderness were hurt as well. With great difficulty, some of them escaped and reached the city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly informed the guards and the captains. They needed to get the news to the governors, but they didn't know that two of the governors were already outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Governor Leon was dying along with his lifeline beast. His lifeline beast couldn't come out because his mental zone was cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't summon it. Not only that, but his organs were poisoned and failing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, hundreds of corpses lay on the ground. They were the people of the settlement who had failed to escape the poison arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The population of this settlement was less than a hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the clearing out started, almost half of them had left, but the rest were not so fortunate. The Tier-9 beast had arrived before they could leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Black Centipede immediately retreated. It confirmed the death of the Tier-8 human Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had it killed the governor, but it had wiped out the human groups as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it stayed long, help would arrive. The beast tide had not started yet, but the Tier-9 Black Centipede had already ordered the corrupted beasts to spread around the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were stationed in all areas. The beasts could attack the city wall at any time. The centipede quickly left the area, heading back toward the unexplored region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't take long for the Black Centipede to return to the previous area. It quickly disappeared into the unexplored region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>​On the other hand, the survivors were fleeing towards the city, while the terrified corrupted beasts were fleeing towards the border of the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>​They were being affected by the pressure as well. The Tier-4 and Tier-5 corrupted beasts were injured in great numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>​When the Tier-9 Black Centipede went into the unexplored region, only then did they feel relief.\u003C\u002Fp>",1041,"2026-06-05T18:52:59.854Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf65936ff913d6d7ff35ffddcd47a3784144ac997d39cdee0f9ab6c5e789b3c3","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-834","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-832",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
