Chapter 377: Chapter 187 Test Subject_2

"No!" Tao Linlin exclaimed, abruptly knocking aside Long Dangdang’s arm from the side. He then spread his arms and blocked the tempest magic dragon.

"Don’t hurt it, it will agree," Tao Linlin pleaded.

Long Dangdang’s face remained impassive. "I don’t have time to waste here, do you understand? I’m the team leader, I make the decisions."

Tears welled up in Tao Linlin’s eyes. He turned to the tempest magic dragon and whispered, "Please accept. I won’t mistreat you; you’ll be our partner from now on. Our team leader has a temper, he won’t hold back."

"Roar--" Whether it liked it or not, the tempest magic dragon knew the value of its Demon Crystal. Unlike the red armor earth dragon, the crystal, nurtured since the dragon’s infancy, embodied half of its power. If the crystal were to be removed, the dragon would become practically useless, incapable of evolving and doomed to rapid decline.

The master-servant contract was completed as agreed.

Tao Linlin sat in place, wreathed in a faint green halo. It was the contract’s reciprocal effect, granting his spiritual power an astonishing boost. The 6th Rank held no barrier for him.

The moon shone brightly above, Long Dangdang: "Senior Tao, you’re quite the actor."

The moon shone brightly above, Wang Changxin, "You taught him well. You’re so clever."

The moon shone brightly above, Long Kongkong, "What happened? What happened? Sister Wang, I tell you, my brother is not clever, he’s cunning."

The moon shone brightly above, Long Dangdang, "Shut up if you don’t know what to say."

The moon shone brightly above, Ling Menglu, "We got ourselves a Level 8 giant tempest dragon, isn’t that delightful?"

The moon shone brightly above, Yue Li, "Wow, that’s absolutely delightful."

The moon shone brightly above, Long Kongkong, "Unparalleled delight. Brother, I won’t call you cunning anymore."

The moon shone brightly above, Ming Xi, "Really? Is it really that delightful?"

Instead of a Sea of Forest, the birthplace of magical beasts, this place seemed like a sea of joy, didn’t it?

Although the training camp was far from over, they all had a strong premonition that the team would experience a complete transformation after these three months of training.

Following their encounter with the Level 8 magical beast, it seemed the number of beasts in the magical beasts forest had declined. In the next two days, they encountered no other beasts, which made Tao Linlin, who already possessed two Level 8 magical beasts and had the spiritual power to summon each beast once a day, feel relentlessly eager.

After taming the tempest magic dragon, Tao Linlin’s spiritual power surged to nearly 5000, granting him approximately the strength of Rank 6 Level 2, putting him at the forefront of the team in terms of spiritual power.

Tao Linlin, known for his calm and gentle nature, began to feel a little arrogant.

On the third day, they encountered another Level 8 magical beast. It wasn’t a dragon genus magical beast. After taming it, they could only draw its blood as they had done before. Over these past few days, the shrinking purple light in the sky pushed them to keep moving, lest they be left outside the circle.

They knew all too well what awaited outside the circle — the oppression of a Level 9 magical beast. In other words, if they were unable to stay within the light circle, they might encounter an attack from a Level 9 beast.

The luminous griffin had made this clear — facing a Level 9 magical beast with a Spirit Palisade, they were as defenseless as babies.

Life seemed to have fallen into a routine: travel during the day, encounter a Level 8 magical beast every three days. They also tried to find and assist other demon hunting teams. They helped other teams defeat magical beasts twice, but as there were no dragon genus magical beasts, they could only draw blood.

Before they knew it, the month-long training camp was entering its last three days. Hold out for three more days, and this journey through the forest would end. Long Dangdang and his team’s magical storage was almost full.

The purple halo in the sky had shrunk to a relatively small range. Looking up, one could even vaguely see the edge on the other side.

"Finally, it’s almost over! After a month, can we go back for a few days rest before we start again?" Long Kongkong said.

Long Dangdang glanced at him, "In your dreams."

Long Kongkong immediately turned his head to Ling Menglu, "Cousin, you’re not going to stop him, look at him cursing me."

Ling Menglu smiled faintly, "I can’t meddle in you two brothers’ business. If you can, just give him a punch."

Long Kongkong snorted coldly, "Wait until I become stronger, there will come a day."

A meaningful smile spread across Long Dangdang’s face, "Okay, I will wait for you, Sir Rat Knight."

Long Kongkong’s expression stiffened, but Long Dangdang no longer paid him any attention, saying, "There’s still three days left, but everyone should not let their guards down. I feel the instructor wouldn’t let us off that easily. The closer we get to the final moment, the greater the chances of us facing danger."

The level 8 magical beasts they’d previously encountered were challenging for most of the reserve demon hunting teams. However, for the top-ranking teams, especially theirs and Zisang Liuying’s, dealing with these creatures wasn’t overly difficult. The test was for everyone. Would the instructor let them off that easily?

"Buzz---" As if responding to Long Dangdang’s words, a hum sounded in the sky.

Almost reflexively, Ming Xi soared into the air and landed on a treetop. Everyone else also turned pale, as the pressure coming from the sky had clearly changed.

They all quickly jumped up to the treetops, gazing at the horizon.

In the sky, a faint circle of golden light was gradually taking shape. The range of the halo was visibly shrinking. At the same time, a familiar voice seemed to resonate across the entire forest.

"After twenty-seven days of adjustment, I believe you’ve all developed a certain level of tacit understanding. Now, the real test begins." Undoubtedly, this was the Devil’s voice.

"Starting now, there will be no safe zones. Of the ten reserve demon hunting teams, nine remain. You will face the pursuit of four level 9 magical beasts. Your task is to survive under their onslaught without causing them harm. Only the team that can hold out until the end is eligible to pass this round. Otherwise, you will be eliminated directly. In the previous twenty-seven days, teams that performed better will face a higher probability of attack. Here’s a clue. The four level 9 magical beasts you will confront are the Level 9 thunderbird, the Level 9 Evil Eye Tyrant, the Level 9 Celestial Storm Magic Ape, and the Level 9 Luminous Griffin. Now, you can start preparing."

Upon hearing "Level 9 magical beasts", Long Dangdang and his teammates couldn’t help but contract their pupils. Having faced level 9 magical beasts before, they knew too well how powerful they were. These monsters were not something they could handle at their current level. They definitely couldn’t hold off against them alone as a team.

Yet, the devil instructor had made it clear that the teams who performed better earlier will face a higher probability of attack. Without a doubt, they were among the top performers!

Everyone simultaneously turned to look at Long Dangdang. His gaze focused and in a deep voice, he said, "We have to join forces with other teams."

At this moment, the voice in the sky rang out again, "Ready."

Ready, for god’s sake? How many seconds had passed?

"The sky halo will continue to shrink in range. Being outside this range, you will be immediately under attack from the level 9 magical beasts. The countdown begins, ten... nine... eight... "

Almost reflexively, Tao Linlin looked at Long Dangdang. Was this countdown a form of retribution?

"Six... five... four... three, two, one!"

"The hunting time, begins now!"
