STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer
Chapter 855: Danger in the wilderness
Wilderness
Roar!
The Red Tiger let out a roar. It was injured by the Human Beast Tamer. Its eyes turned crimson red. The beast lost its mind and gave in to its bloodthirsty instincts completely.
Boom!
The next second, the beast disappeared from the spot. The crimson energy around the beast thickened.
Swoosh!
Jeremy used his eye power to predict the beast’s speed. He instantly moved backwards.
Boom!
The massive beast’s claw struck the empty ground. A deafening noise occurred. The shock force spread across the place.
Jeremy’s eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He was right. The beast was using its last trump card. The strength of the beast was greater than before.
The impact force hit his body, but it didn’t affect him.
Swoosh!
The Red Tiger once again moved away from the spot. Its blood-red eyes never left the target. It continued to move forward to attack.
In a flash, both of them came into contact with each other. Jeremy took a risk this time. Instead of retreating, he evaded the attack before striking the beast.
Puchak!
The 20-inch-long starlight thread went through the body of the beast. It felt no resistance.
Stab!
Jeremy thrust the starlight thread forward. The starlight thread came into contact with the internal organs of the beast and severed them.
Puchak!
The Red Tiger was losing its strength. The loss of blood due to bleeding was increasing. The Tiger Beast was unable to catch its prey.
So, it could not sustain the crimson cover. Slowly, the cover was reduced. The Red Tiger Beast was returning to normal.
Slash!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jeremy moved forward to strike. He slashed at the beast again. This time, he targeted the blood vessels using his eye power.
The blood vessels became transparent. When the blood came in contact with the blood vessel, it immediately severed it.
Pfff!
Blood spurted from the beast’s wound. The massive Red Tiger collapsed on the ground. This time, it truly lost the strength to fight.
Thud!
The shock force spread across the place. Jeremy withstood the force and looked at the beast. He saw through his eye power that the Beast was completely dead.
There was no lingering breath anymore. He then collected the corpse into his storage ring. The Red Tier beast was a popular beast.
The corpse will earn him good money, proving that his starlight thread didn’t disappoint him.
Sigh!
A sigh escaped from his mouth. Then, he collected his thoughts and resumed his journey. On the way, he didn’t come across any other beast.
It didn’t take long for him to reach the inner area, but he encountered a different scene. He saw mutilated corpses of the higher-tier corrupted beasts.
From the broken bones, he could tell that the beasts were above Tier-5. Not one, but many beasts came into his sight.
As time passed, he went deeper and came across a similar situation. There were more mutilated corpses everywhere.
All of them were beasts above Tier-5.
Jeremy Night’s eyes flickered with understanding. He thought it could be the work of the lords of the Human Alliance.
Only they can reduce the corrupted beasts into such a state. Jeremy deduced that the corrupted beasts could have died from the coercion released by the lords.
In that situation, the beasts must have felt pressure and their bodies then burst into pieces. The more he thought about it, the more it felt right.
He then calmed his heart. Then, he continued on his way. He had decided to find some clues. If he could give them to the Governors, then they would reward him.
This trip won’t be wasted. Not long after, he came across the infamous hyenas. They were eating the flesh from the corpses of the higher-tier corrupted beasts.
It was an extraordinary resource to them. They would grow to a higher tier of beasts without any problem.
Shriek!
The hyenas made a sound. They were in a group of more than 20 beasts. Their strength was of mixed tiers. They saw a human beast tamer had come here.
They became vigilant, but they continued to consume the corpse. As long as the human beast tamer didn’t come close to them, then they had a chance.
Jeremy saw through their behavior. He didn’t get closer to them. He was going to find the clues. He had already tested the power of the new starlight thread.
So, he was not going to waste time by fighting against them. He changed his route and continued to go deeper.
Meanwhile,
The other beast tamers had already crossed the wilderness. They each came across the corrupted beasts which had survived the attacks from the lords.
The lords only targeted the higher-tier beasts. Because of it, they didn’t face any dangers. They had killed those Tier-4 and Tier-5 beasts which crossed paths with them.
...
Unexplored Region
After Samuel left, the Tier-9 Black Centipede had already started gathering the corrupted beasts roaming in the unexplored region.
It commanded those beasts which were weaker in strength. There were hundreds in number ready to cross the border.
But the Tier-9 Beast had been vigilant. It had been waiting to see actions from the human side. After those two Tier-8 Beast Tamers, no one entered the wilderness.
The beast didn’t take the lower-tier human Beast Tamers seriously. It only cared about the Tier-8 Beast Tamers.
Since an enough number had gathered again, the beast ordered other corrupted beasts to enter the wilderness, starting from the Tier-4 and Tier-5 beasts.
If the Tier-6 and Tier-7 beasts entered the wilderness all of a sudden, it would be noticed by the human side. So, the beast did not plan on sending them first.
It wanted to see the reaction from the human side.
After getting the orders, the Tier-4 and Tier-5 beasts crossed the border to enter the wilderness.
Time passed.
The beasts which crossed the border were all attracted by the scent of the corpses. The corpses of the higher-tier beasts were a huge attraction to them.
They were all going towards the place where all the corpses were on the ground. It won’t be long before the two sides meet with each other.
