Brother Ji looked at the other party's expression and felt that it wasn't faked, speaking as if it were true...
Brother Ji felt some sympathy, even having the urge to go and untie its ropes.
But a sudden flash of inspiration struck him. Once bitten by a snake, one fears a well rope for ten years. Brother Ji retreated a few more steps.
Wiggling his finger, he said with full confidence:
"Hmph, don't even think about fooling Brother Ji, you perverted Savage Contract Beasts!"
"I really am..."
The [Parasite Beast] wanted to continue explaining, but Brother Ji was quick, grabbing a cloth strip and stuffing it into its mouth.
However, what no one knew was that in a certain bottomless dark abyss in the Forget Worry Grassland, a black figure suddenly opened its eyes. It possessed vertical pupils, was entirely black, and wore a cloak that covered it from head to ground.
That figure strikingly had the head of a snake!
A snake-headed human body!
It flicked its long forked tongue, its eyes filled with killing intent and confusion.
In a hoarse voice, it muttered to itself, "Who moved my pawn?"
Its figure slowly floated up, reaching the abyss's opening in an instant. Simultaneously, countless black dots crawled towards it—an army of Savage [Army Ants]!
The snake-headed human monster's voice was low, carrying an undeniable pressure.
"Find the human in this forest and eliminate them all!"
The Savage [Army Ants] began to stir violently, each like they had been injected with chicken blood. They rushed out in a frenzy, as if competing for merit. Instantly, the entire ground began to shake violently. Even with giant trees blocking the way, all the trees instantly disappeared and turned to dust as the Savage [Army Ants] passed. Where they went, they left flat ground.
In front of the Dongting Tree, Lu Fei continued to confront Tu Tian.
In just a moment, Tu Tian's two contract beasts were dead or disabled. His mentality exploded, and he also began to doubt life, wondering when this waste he once considered utterly vulnerable had become so powerful.
One had to know that even the top students at Cang Town Beast Taming Academy, like Bai Qianqian and Zhou Tao, were never taken seriously by Tu Tian. Yet today, he had been defeated by an unknown country boy!
The anger escalated to its peak, surprisingly bringing Tu Tian a trace of calmness. After deliberation, Tu Tian did not summon his last contract beast, the [Phoenix Tail Eagle].
This was his last resort. If he lost, he would be the one embarrassed in the end. But as long as he didn't act, the outcome remained a suspense.
Suddenly, he roared at Zhou Qiu, the instructor from Long Town Beast Taming Academy, who was staring blankly beside him,
"Old Zhou! Are you just going to watch? Cripple this little bastard for me, and you'll be a honored guest of the Tu family from now on!"
Zhou Qiu snapped back to attention. This offer was even more tempting than the vice-principal's earlier offer. Becoming an honored guest of the Tu family meant becoming their patron. In the future, all resources for his cultivation would be provided by the Tu family. Furthermore, becoming an honored guest of the Tu family meant he could get to know more important figures through this connection.
This was an opportunity to soar!
Zhou Qiu's expression was conflicted, showing some hesitation.
Just then, a slightly angry voice was heard.
"Instructor Zhou, please remember your position!"
Zhou Qiu instantly woke from his daydream. He looked at Qiu Xia, seeing frost surging on her face.
"Instructor Zhou, if you make a move, then we will also make a move!"
Zhao Biao's tone was resolute.
Seeing the three of them confront each other with words, Lu Fei couldn't help but feel favorably towards Qiu Xia and Zhao Biao.
Zhou Qiu looked at Tu Tian and said with a wry smile, "Young Master Tu Tian, you are not this young man's opponent. Let's just let this matter go."
"Nonsense! You useless bum!"
Tu Tian's face contorted, threateningly.
"You two remember this! I will make you regret it after we get out!"
"Alas," Zhao Biao sighed and said leisurely, "Since you plan to deal with us after we get out, why don't we deal with you here first."
Hearing this, Tu Tian's expression changed drastically, and he unconsciously took a few steps back. He only had one contract beast left. Even though he considered himself talented, he was still too weak to contend with a high-level Beast Master.
He didn't want to perish just like this.
Zhou Qiu roared, "How dare you!"
Zhao Biao curled his lips, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. I just want to see the fearful expression of a rich young master."
Qiu Xia shook her head with a wry smile and looked up.
Then she said, "It's getting late. If the contract beasts you mentioned come out, then perhaps no one will be able to leave."
Qiu Xia looked at Tu Tian and said calmly.
"If you continue to be aggressive, we will have to knock you out first."
"You!" Tu Tian was furious, his fiery red hair almost spitting fire!
Lu Fei smiled and instructed Ironhead to come to his side.
He was very satisfied with Ironhead's performance today. It felt like a farmer finally becoming the master. All along, Lu Fei had felt that his own strength was low and he was constantly being beaten by others.
But now, he felt his strength rapidly improving.
Tu Tian was known as a genius at Long Town Beast Taming Academy, but today? This genius was being thoroughly thrashed by him. Moreover, according to his age in this world, he was only 15 years old.
For a moment, Lu Fei suddenly felt that he had gotten the protagonist's script right again!
Just as Lu Fei was secretly rejoicing, a sound like surging waves suddenly came.
Lu Fei's ears twitched, and he heard the sound getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently.
Zhou Qiu's pupils contracted sharply.
"This is bad! They're here!" Zhou Qiu roared, "Young Master Tu Tian, run quickly!"
Tu Tian's face also changed drastically. He knew clearly what "they" Zhou Qiu was referring to!
The few girls from the academy were instantly scared pale. Their legs felt weak, and standing became difficult.
"Brother Tu Tian, let's run!"
A girl screamed.
"Run! Of course, we have to run!" Tu Tian was scared out of his wits, summoned the [Phoenix Tail Eagle], and soared into the sky.
The girls were instantly stunned.
"Brother Tu Tian, you're flying too high, we can't get up there!"
In mid-air, Tu Tian grinned, feeling smug inside.
"Don't be naive! Bringing you will only affect my flying speed. What if we get caught!" He looked down at Lu Fei, who was still in a daze.
He laughed maniacally, "Bastard! Today, you will be buried with my [Earth Star New Cannon]!"
"Instructor Zhou..." Tu Tian said, looking at the direction Tu Tian flew, wanting to say something but stopping. His face was ugly. He hadn't expected this beast to be so selfish. He had left five girls behind, who, to Tu Tian, were merely playthings.
But to him, they were students! Even though he craved power, it wasn't as much as Tu Tian, who had long since lost his humanity.
"Instructor Zhou, please take us with you!"
