Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 558: Unfair
As Charles continued to chase after Miles Carter and Skylar, in the wilderness area of the Red Zone, Luna was leading Zachary and the others as they advanced quickly.
Since setting off in the morning, Luna, Finn, Zachary, and Luma had hardly rested at all.
Being a Level 5 Beast Master, Luna was fine, and Finn was still able to keep going. However, Zachary and Luma were completely exhausted, their bodies at their limit. Their pace slowed, and they were starting to fall behind Luna and Finn.
Luna stopped, looked around at the environment, and issued a rest order.
Zachary and Luma immediately let out a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily, too tired to even move a finger.
Finn looked around, started gathering some wood, and set up a few traps around the area to serve as alerts.
After about thirty minutes of rest, Zachary and Luma had regained some of their strength. They exchanged a glance, and then, in unison, turned to Luna and said, "Luna, we're rested now. Let's continue."
Luna hesitated for a moment. She felt that Zachary and Luma needed more time to fully recover and reach their peak state again.
But the problem was that Charles was facing two of Kingston's top genius Beast Masters alone, and he was certainly in constant danger. They needed to hurry and reach the center canyon area, which was filled with ferocious beasts, to hunt them down and collect Blood-red Jade.
Only then could they help alleviate some of the pressure on Charles.
Finn, who understood the situation, spoke up to Luna, "How about we rest for another ten minutes? The closer we get to the central area, the more ferocious beasts we'll encounter. We must conserve our energy for unexpected situations."
Luna thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere among the group grew quiet as they each lost themselves in thought.
Luna occasionally glanced toward the direction of the high mountain range. She didn't know exactly where Charles was, and whether the situation was dangerous. There wasn't much she could do except try to accomplish the tasks Charles had set for her.
As for Finn, he kept a sharp eye on the surrounding area, remaining vigilant.
Zachary and Luma exchanged another glance, lowering their heads in frustration. They both felt like they were holding the team back. Finn and Luna could continue pushing forward, but they were close to collapsing.
Luma muttered, "Charles is alone, facing two Level 5 Beast Masters from Kingston. It must be really tough for him. Sigh, Charles told us not to worry when he left, but how could we not worry?"
Zachary sighed wearily. He also felt that Charles's situation must be really tough, but there was nothing he could do. His strength wasn't enough. If he were a Level 5 Beast Master, he would certainly be able to help Charles at this moment!
But unfortunately, there was no "what if."
Ten minutes later, the group set off again, each person wearing a determined expression. They couldn't let Charles bear such a heavy burden alone. They had to complete the tasks that Charles had set for them!
Meanwhile, Charles was still tracking Miles Carter and Skylar, while also searching for suitable materials.
He only had two arrows left, and aside from the Chasing the Moon Bow, he had no other weapons. There were other items in his Storage space, but it was difficult to take them out. If he did, he couldn't explain it, and it would be considered cheating.
As for giving up ranged attacks and fighting Miles Carter and Skylar hand-to-hand?
Charles had no intention of doing that. He had a better solution.
While walking through the woods, Charles spotted a large tree not far away. His eyes lit up, and the information about the tree appeared in his vision:
[Light Ironwood (Blue Quality)]: A tree that grows very slowly. Due to its high hardness and low weight, it is commonly used to make arrows. It is a great material for forging.
That's it! Without hesitation, Charles summoned Mia again.
It had been some time since Mia was struck by the Doom skill of the Death's Night Raven, and the effect of Doom had faded.
At Charles's command, Mia immediately fired two Wind Blades to cut down the Light Ironwood. Then, Charles began to gather wind energy at his fingertips, carefully shaping the Light Ironwood into the proper form.
At this moment, the Light Ironwood still contained a lot of moisture and wasn't suitable for making arrows. Typically, a blacksmith would let it dry slowly, allowing the moisture to evaporate before it could be used to craft arrows.
However, Charles didn't have much time. He carefully used the Bone-Eroding Spirit Fire skill, controlling the temperature meticulously.
In no time, the Light Ironwood's weight was greatly reduced, and it was now suitable for making arrows.
But just having the Light Ironwood wasn't enough; he still needed the proper metal arrowheads and feathers for the tail of the arrow.
Charles instructed Mia to fly up and begin hunting for flying mystical beasts, while he continued to track the traces left by Miles Carter and Skylar.
About half an hour later, Mia returned, clutching a bird-type mystical beast in her claws, and landed back by Charles's side.
Charles quickly glanced at the information of the mystical beast:
——[Fiery Spiritual Bird]——
Attributes: Fire
Level: 22
Quality: Silver
Skills: Firestorm, Sharp Beak and Pointed Spikes
Weakness: Water
...
A fire attribute flying mystical beast. Its feathers contained fire energy, but using them for the tail feathers of the arrows wasn't ideal. It would have been better if it were a wind attribute mystical beast.
"Master, master, isn't this mystical beast suitable?" Mia's voice echoed in Charles's mind.
Charles nodded. It was indeed not the best choice. The current environment wasn't a forge, so achieving a perfect result wasn't possible. As a result, the requirements for materials were higher. Charles didn't want a poorly crafted arrow to cause a mistake in his battle.
After wasting a little more time, Mia returned with another mystical beast. This time, Charles glanced at it and his eyes immediately lit up.
——[Gale Lightning Bird]——
Attributes: Wind, Lightning
Level: 28
Quality: Gold
Skills: Sharp Beak and Pointed Spikes, Electrified Feather Blade, Rapid Flight, Sharp Claw Strike
Weakness: Poison
...
A wind and lightning dual-attribute flying mystical beast. Its feathers were perfect for making arrows. Not only would they increase the flight speed of the arrows, but they would also carry a slight paralysis effect upon hitting the enemy—ideal for the current situation.
Charles patted Mia on the head and praised her, "Well done!"
The rest of the process was simple. There was no need to build a forge or use any forging equipment. Charles had Little Gold control the Liquid Metal Spray skill.
Charles created the appropriate mold, and then had Little Gold inject the liquid metal into the mold. Afterward, he inserted the arrow shaft into the mold and added the Gale Lightning Bird feathers to the tail. A usable arrow was now complete!
[Lightning Gale Arrow (Blue Quality)]: A well-crafted arrow that not only increases flight speed but also has a slight paralysis effect, impairing the enemy's movements.
For Charles, making arrows was no difficult task.
However, for the viewers from the seven countries of the Abyssal Depths, this was yet another shock that had them bombarding the chat with comments.
Kingston viewers: "What's going on? Does this mean Charles hasn't used up any resources?"
Viewers from other countries: "I didn't know Charles was also a blacksmith! Just the way he used high heat to dry the Light Ironwood shows that Charles's blacksmithing level must be pretty high!"
"Is there no justice? Charles is already this strong, and now he's also good at forging?"
Kingston viewers: "Wait, is this even fair? While other people's weapons break or run out of resources, they have no way of dealing with it, but Charles runs out of arrows and can just make more himself! This is unfair to everyone else!"
"Yeah, someone from Celestial City should go confiscate the arrows Charles made!"
Genosha viewers: "How shameless! If your country's competitor could do what Charles just did, you'd never say that! You'd be fully supportive!"
"Exactly! And this is just forging! Charles is also a very powerful alchemist. If he makes a miracle drug later, is that unfair too? Should his miracle drugs also be confiscated?"
"How shameless! You Kingston people are truly shameless!"
Other countries' viewers: "What? Charles is also an alchemist? He's so well-rounded!"
"I've seen Charles's information—such a young elite alchemist? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"
"Elite? Are you sure? I've been studying alchemy for ten years and I'm still just an advanced alchemist. Charles is already an elite alchemist?"
The comments in the live stream didn't stop for a second. If Flint hadn't been an eighth-level Beast Master, he wouldn't have been able to see through all the dense comments.
He hadn't expected that Charles would resolve the issue of running out of arrows so easily.
But would these casually made arrows really be usable?
Would they veer off course or even shatter as soon as they were shot?
Flint pushed that thought out of his mind. He had been closely watching Charles's performance. A genius this powerful wouldn't make such a foolish mistake. frёeωebɳovel.com
All he could say was that Charles, this monstrous genius, wasn't just strong in Beast Mastery—he was astonishingly impressive in every other field as well!
However, the situation might have taken an unexpected turn for Charles. Flint furrowed his brows as he watched Miles Carter and Skylar, who were now lighting the beacon.
