After entering the unexplored area, they started looking for the Tier-9 Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had also found the auras of other beasts. These included Tier-8 and Tier-9 Beasts. The trio didn’t waste any time and went even deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the lady saw that the aura of the Tier-9 Beast was moving ahead. It was going further into the core area of the unexplored region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core was home to more Tier-9 Beasts. There was a risk of entering the core area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could come across Colossal Beasts, even though this zone didn’t have a history of any attacks from Colossal Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lady looked at the other two men. They agreed to go further as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They disappeared from the spot. The trio was going to the core area, moving at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the Tier-9 Black Centipede was moving fast as well. The beast was intelligent. It sensed the presence of the human powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had entered its domain. The beast understood that human powerhouses were chasing after it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Black Centipede exploded forward with great speed. Its thousands of legs moved in a flash. The impact force spread across the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other beasts nearby felt the power. The power from the Tier-9 beast could kill them, so the nearby corrupted beasts fled from the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Beast reached an important area. It entered the territory of another Tier-9 Beast, called the Armored Earth Lizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Armored Earth Lizard was known for its powerful defense and strong vitality. The Tier-9 Black Centipede, even with its strong poison ability, would find it hard to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for the trio to catch up to the beast. But they had entered the core area. Apart from the Tier-9 Black Centipede, there were other Tier-9 Beasts nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio appeared next to the Tier-9 Black Centipede. The Tier-9 Black Centipede stopped moving. It suddenly turned around, and its lengthy body rose into the mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio stopped in mid-air. They looked up at the towering beast, which stood over 100 feet tall. All three of them felt the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should not hesitate. Let’s release our lifeline beasts,\" the woman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the other two men agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the three of them released their lifeline beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrific, deafening noise sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three lifeline beasts, each over 100 feet tall, appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A four-armed black ape beast materialized right next to one of the male Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A green anaconda with a massive, long body appeared next to the other middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The length of the anaconda was over 100 feet. As its massive body landed on the ground, it spread across the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bird beast appeared in the sky. The massive creature, with a wingspan of over 60 feet, soared above. It was a giant white sparrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the bird beast flapped its wings, a powerful wind force spread across the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tier-9 Black Centipede was enraged. It opened its mouth wide and released a barrage of poison attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As many as a hundred poison spikes were released from the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the poison spikes were about to hit their targets, the three Tier-9 Beast Tamers evaded the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison blades landed on the ground one after another as the three Tier-9 Lifeline Beasts evaded the onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ape beast swiftly shifted its body weight, its huge body escaping the poison attacks. If anyone from the outside had seen the exchange, they would have been surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was the ape beast able to escape the attack so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same thing happened with the massive anaconda beast. It moved in a zigzag manner. As its huge body slithered at top speed, it generated an impact force that swept away the vegetation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mid-air, the white sparrow moved in a flash. It evaded the poison attacks even faster than the other two lifeline beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Beast Tamers evaded the attacks with ease. They and their lifeline beasts shared their abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged woman had the aid of a wind elemental. She moved faster and evaded the attacks successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two middle-aged men did the same. None of the poison attacks touched them as they landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison spread across the vegetation and corroded it. Black patches started appearing on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Beast Tamers commanded their lifeline beasts to attack the Tier-9 Black Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Centipede was stunned to realize that its attacks had missed. The beast moved, then made a quick decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its long body landed on the ground, and it began going deeper into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white sparrow let out a cry. It shot out bullets made of compressed air from its wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air bullets tore through the air. In the blink of an eye, they struck the back of the Black Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening noise occurred. The Black Centipede had a thick defense on its back, so the air bullets failed to pierce it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Black Centipede felt a searing pain. The pain was so severe that the beast increased its speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the beast had increased its pace, the other lifeline beasts didn’t waste time and took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black ape threw huge boulders at the fleeing beast. The massive boulders, weighing a ton, landed squarely on the Black Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing on its back, the boulders broke into pieces. They weren’t able to break the beast’s defense, but they were able to halt its momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Centipede was enraged. Though its defense didn’t crack, it felt an internal burden. If the situation continued, internal injuries would surely occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lastly, the green anaconda’s ability lay in constriction. For that, the anaconda beast needed to reach the target first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the beast was able to get near the Black Centipede, the anaconda would coil around it to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the speed of the green anaconda beast was low compared to the Black Centipede. It was leading the beast tamers further into an unknown part of the unexplored region.\u003C\u002Fp>",1047,"2026-06-05T18:53:00.246Z",1,"novelbin.me","f0641f00f56cd2e6442d5a4925251760e363960ca33ad00cf8d7e0da928dafa3","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-660","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-863",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
