Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Taming a Level 5 Pinnacle Beast

Ten minutes later, the battle over there calmed down.

The Arrow-backed Giant Lizard was dead, leaving behind a White-backed Giant Lizard, which wasn’t in much better shape either.

If its wound can’t heal quickly, it too will soon die from excessive blood loss.

It used telekinesis to seal its wound, preventing more blood from flowing out.

A level 5 Fierce Beast already possesses a certain degree of intelligence.

It stared at Xu Yi and Lightning; previously, it didn’t consider Xu Yi and Lightning significant.

But now, it is well aware that if Xu Yi and Lightning attack, it would undoubtedly die.

However, Lightning has been guarding Xu Yi’s side all along.

Without Xu Yi’s command, it wouldn’t act on its own.

Xu Yi has been trying to tame that White-backed Fierce Beast, so he didn’t have time to deal with the other one.

Finally, after two hours, Xu Yi managed to tame this White-backed Giant Lizard.

Moreover, with Xu Yi’s spiritual power, the wounds of the tamed White-backed Giant Lizard had nearly healed without needing the Rapid-Acting Body Repair Potion for recovery.

Of course, it will take a bit more time.

Xu Yi naturally tries not to use potions if he can avoid it.

After all, he only has one more chance to receive a Basic Gift Package.

In all likelihood, Xu Yi is unlikely to obtain another Rapid-Acting Body Recovery Potion.

After taming this White-backed Giant Lizard, Xu Yi headed toward the other White-backed Giant Lizard.

Then, Xu Yi discovered that the White-backed Giant Lizard was already dead, its body cold, estimated to have been dead for over half an hour.

Originally, Xu Yi thought it could endure, but unexpectedly, it died.

Pulling out his new knife, Xu Yi directly cleaved open the White-backed Giant Lizard’s head and extracted the Brain Crystal.

He then gave the brain to Lightning to eat.

The Brain Crystal of the other Arrow-backed Giant Lizard was also extracted by Xu Yi, and the brain was given to Lightning.

"Eat something to gain something?"

Nonexistent, at least Xu Yi hasn’t noticed this in Lightning.

Lightning understands Xu Yi’s intentions because Xu Yi often uses Taming Skills on it.

To date, Lightning has been tamed by Xu Yi 56 times.

Therefore, Lightning can instantly comprehend Xu Yi’s every command.

Of course, its own intelligence isn’t low either, at least stronger than a seven or eight-year-old child.

Xu Yi didn’t process the other Fierce Beast corpses; he collected them along with the two beasts whose Brain Crystals and brains had been extracted.

After all, Xu Yi had just acquired a 20 cubic meter Storage Space, more than enough to store these Fierce Beast corpses.

He had already lingered here for quite a long time. If he continued processing corpses here, he might attract other level 5 pinnacle Fierce Beasts.

Xu Yi had not yet fought with a level 5 pinnacle Fierce Beast and didn’t know yet their actual strength or whether he could handle it. If possible, how many could he deal with simultaneously?

Without being sure of his strength, Xu Yi certainly wouldn’t recklessly engage multiple level 5 pinnacle Fierce Beasts.

The White-backed Giant Lizard was still in an injured state, so Xu Yi used spiritual power to lift it, then flew toward the grassland.

Lightning followed closely beside Xu Yi, alert.

Apparently, the grassland area is the territory of ordinary level 5 Fierce Beasts, while the Jungle Area is the domain of level 5 Fierce Beasts.

Xu Yi landed with the White-backed Giant Lizard on the grassland; it was already four or five kilometers away from the jungle.

That was the maximum distance Xu Yi could fly while carrying the White-backed Giant Lizard; he couldn’t go any farther unless Xu Yi could use a level 5 Brain Crystal.

But doing so would waste a level 5 Fierce Beast’s Brain Crystal.

Even using the Brain Crystal would only allow flying for another ten kilometers at most, truly a waste.

Because the telekinetic power within the Brain Crystal cannot be used slowly; once released, it dissipates quickly.

Unless a method to use it slowly can be found.

Currently, Xu Yi doesn’t have the spare time to study this. At least, he has to wait until the challenge is completed to have the mind to research these.

However, after the challenge is over, he will inquire whether the Spirit Race has such technology.

By the time he landed on the grassland, dusk had already fallen.

So, Xu Yi let the White-backed Giant Lizard continue to walk deeper into the grassland, to a safer area.

Xu Yi stopped when night fell.

Making camp, cooking.

Lightning and the White-backed Giant Lizard lay outside the tent, and Xu Yi took out an Arrow-backed Giant Lizard carcass to feed them.

Xu Yi also sliced some Arrow-backed Giant Lizard meat to cook, as he hadn’t tried this Fierce Beast meat before.

Xu Yi used three different methods: slicing for frying, steaming, and boiling.

This kind of ingredient was Xu Yi’s first time cooking.

It’s a shame that the audience couldn’t see the scene inside the tent; otherwise, they would be looking forward to it.

It was a brand-new Fierce Beast, similar to legendary dinosaurs.

Fifteen minutes later, a fresh plate of fried meat was ready.

Xu Yi squeezed a layer of black pepper sauce over it, then cut a piece and put it in his mouth.

The first bite felt like eating crocodile meat.

Because the texture was very similar.

Following the second bite, Xu Yi noticed the Arrow-backed Giant Lizard had a richer texture than crocodile meat.

"Delicious, so delicious, even better than crocodile meat." Xu Yi was pleasantly surprised and satisfied with the Arrow-backed Giant Lizard’s meat.

Thus, he ate several more pieces, then went to ladle a bowl of fish fillet soup.

Xu Yi hadn’t added much seasoning to this soup, just some ginger strands and yellow wine to remove the fishiness.

After sipping a mouthful, Xu Yi’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

"Fresh and delicious, good soup, Lu Ke will surely love it, I must save more Arrow-backed Giant Lizard meat for her." Having tasted something good, Xu Yi always thought of sharing with Lu Ke.

After all, both he and Lu Ke were food lovers.

Sharing food is the greatest respect and praise for it.

Finally, Xu Yi tried the steamed Arrow-backed Giant Lizard meat.

It could be said perfect ingredients, regardless of cooking method, are always tasty, and impart different textures.

Few ingredients throughout these two hundred days have been like this.

Xu Yi thought, the Arrow-backed Giant Lizard could be farmed to become a common meat on tables.

After eating his fill, Xu Yi felt a warm current lingering in his belly.

This was the energy contained in the meat of a level 5 pinnacle Fierce Beast.

So, Xu Yi directly began to practice the Martial Techniques—Mountains Shake.

Intermediate Martial Techniques were quite difficult to learn.

Xu Yi immersed himself entirely in the training.

He believed that once he mastered Mountains Shake, his strength would significantly improve.

Maybe he would have the power to challenge level 6 Fierce Beasts.

Whether it would really turn out that way could soon be verified.

After all, the jungle is home to level 5 pinnacle Fierce Beasts, which means the territory of level 6 Fierce Beasts is not far from there.

In a day or two at most, Xu Yi could reach the level 6 Fierce Beast territory to face them.

Of course, before then, Xu Yi still needs to find level 5 pinnacle Fierce Beasts for practice.
