Chapter 97: Thunderous Tiger
“Tiantian, what kind of meat is this? I’ve actually already broken through to a Two-star Beast Tamer.”
“I’ve also broken through to a Two-star Beast Tamer.”
Song Ranran and Father Song said to Song Tiantian one after another.
They also didn’t expect that becoming a Two-star Beast Tamer would be so easy.
“You thought the work you were doing was for nothing? This is a Fierce Beast Secret Realm. Every breath you take here is Spiritual Energy. You were burying your heads in work, but you were actually cultivating. When you were cutting the Fierce Beast Meat, didn’t you notice your speed increasing?
When you were butchering the Fierce Beast Meat, you were using Spiritual Power without realizing it.
This meat stewed with Spiritual Plants can increase Strength, but not that quickly.
The most important thing is that your Pet Beasts have all broken through to become Two-star Pet Beasts. When they advanced, the excess Spiritual Energy surged into your bodies, which is the main reason for your breakthrough.
Since you’ve broken through, continue working. There aren’t many Fierce Beast Corpses left, so they should be processed quickly.
I brought Contract Stones. You can pick a Powerful Fierce Beast here directly, which will save some money. Afterwards, you can go back and consolidate your Cultivation and strive to reach Three-star Beast Tamer.”
Song Tiantian explained while working.
Father Song and Song Ranran then realized that their Pet Beasts had actually advanced.
But there was no time to be happy; they had to continue working.
With Hope, the work became particularly spirited and full of Vital Energy.
Song Ranran watched the small mountain of Fierce Beast Corpses being processed bit by bit, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Her arms were already numb.
She felt that even traveling was a happy experience because her hands could finally stop and rest.
Her Backpack had been put into her Pet Beast Space; she was too tired, and even the slightest extra burden felt difficult.
Even the Green Snake Spider looked exhausted.
The Green Snake Spider hadn’t been this tired in a long time.
Now, when Song Ranran saw a Fierce Beast, her instinct was to know where to cut to butcher it the fastest.
She felt this greatly helped with actual combat, and the Green Snake Spider had accumulated a lot of Experience.
Father Song’s Iron-eating Beast also looked extremely tired, but it glanced at the energetic Big White and knew that Big White hadn’t rested.
Others didn’t know Big White’s Identity, but it did. Big White was an Iron-eating Beast like itself, and the ugliest-looking Iron-eating Beast at that. Yet, Big White didn’t seem tired at all and could even carry Song Tiantian.
It gritted its teeth. It was an Iron-eating Beast with black and white fur, so it couldn’t be weaker than a pure white Iron-eating Beast!
It had also rested quite a bit in between.
“There’s an Energy Stone Mine here!”
Song Ranran exclaimed in surprise.
“It’s already been mined. There are only some Energy Stone fragments left. If you want to dig, go ahead. Big White and I will rest for a while.”
Song Tiantian said indifferently. Digging here was time-consuming and labor-intensive. The price of one Energy Stone was around ten thousand. This place had already been exploited, so not many Energy Stones could be found, at most a hundred or so.
Song Tiantian earned this money quite easily, so she didn’t want to waste time.
Last night, Song Tiantian had Big White protect Father Song and Song Ranran while she, with the Hell Ghost Vine, had scoured all the Good Things in the vicinity.
Song Tiantian put Big White into her Pet Beast Space. Big White had probably not done such high-intensity work in a long time.
The Hell Ghost Vine, having eaten its fill, returned to Song Tiantian’s side. Song Tiantian now planned to have Big White return to its Pet Beast Space to recuperate.
Song Tiantian leaned against a Stone and closed her eyes to rest.
Song Ranran and Father Song looked at the Energy Stones as if they were gold, unable to pass up free gold.
Both of them took out their Small Shovels and began to dig frantically.
Although their arms were sore, they would only be this tired for these two days. They were returning tomorrow afternoon, and time was running out.
Song Tiantian, meanwhile, was planning their next itinerary.
She had asked Father Song, and he wanted to Contract a tiger or lion, or a bear-type Pet Beast. Father Song now felt he wasn’t poor; he was quite wealthy now and could afford a carnivorous Pet Beast.
And it would be best if it had Skills. The Iron-eating Beast had no Skills, essentially acting as a tank that could endure but lacked offensive capabilities.
Song Ranran had the same idea.
She had seen how Powerful Song Tiantian’s Big White was and found it very imposing. She also deeply desired a strong and imposing Fierce Beast. Moreover, Big White’s appearance was excellent; its pure white Fur looked so beautiful.
Furthermore, she had saved quite a bit of money from this Secret Realm trip. She felt she had enough money to afford a carnivorous Pet Beast.
And she had also learned a butchering Skill. If she went to work at the Fierce Beast butcher shop, would she still be afraid that her Pet Beast couldn’t afford meat?
Song Ranran and Father Song dug for two hours together, clearing out the more obvious dozen or so Energy Stones.
On average, they only dug three Energy Stones per person per hour. This speed was even slower than butchering Fierce Beast Meat!
Calculating it this way, it was a huge loss.
Song Ranran finally understood why Song Tiantian didn’t dig for Energy Stones.
“Tiantian, have you dug for Energy Stones before?”
“Yes! Let’s run faster. Big White is scouting ahead. There’s a very beautiful Thunderous Tiger ahead, a Two-star Fierce Beast. Its Skill is to release lightning. It’ll be hard to find once it leaves. You two think about who wants to Contract this Fierce Beast.
Only one of you can make a move later. To Contract it, you must show it your Strength, otherwise, you won’t gain its recognition.
I’ll be on the sidelines. I’ll use my Voice Transmission to Ear Skill to secretly remind you of the Thunderous Tiger’s weaknesses.”
Hearing Song Tiantian’s reply, Song Ranran, who was about to say something, was surprised that Song Tiantian had already moved on to the next Mission so quickly.
She hadn’t fully processed it yet. Facing the Thunderous Tiger so soon, she worried if her Green Snake Spider would be capable.
“I’ll go first! Ranran, watch from the side and be prepared for next time.”
Father Song bravely stepped forward.
He felt there was nothing to fear; his Iron-eating Beast was not without a fighting chance.
Moreover, he was now training daily in combat techniques within the team. If he and his Pet Beast attacked together, there was still Hope.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll tell you in advance when the Thunderous Tiger releases its Skill. Just dodge its Skill. The Thunderous Tiger’s weakness is its neck, so focus on attacking its neck.”
Song Tiantian instructed Father Song.
From afar, Father Song saw the Thunderous Tiger. It was incredibly beautiful, with silver Fur, looking exceptionally dashing.
