Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 367: Chapter 259: Settling 2

"Egg Pancake, Yin Yi, you two go on. Help direct the Soul Beast migration."

Han Ning patted Egg Pancake’s head.

It let out a soft cry, shrinking down and merging into the procession of Soul Beasts.

Egg Pancake was powerful and possessed Dragon Mighty, which was perfect for keeping the little ones in line.

Before long, Egg Pancake had taken on the duties of a little Soul Beast squad leader.

With a red ribbon tied around its crimson dragon arm, it flew about five meters above the front of the Soul Beast procession.

"SQUEAK!"

Egg Pancake glanced back at the Cyan Jade Guardians, Sapphire Guardians, Fire-breathing Lizards... and a host of other Soul Beasts much smaller than itself. It couldn’t help but look back every ten meters or so, just like a kindergarten teacher.

Meanwhile, Yin Yi and Fei Lin led a group of young Wood, Dark, and Wind Type Soul Beasts, following a little behind Egg Pancake.

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm wasn’t idle, either. It had taken the form of a muscular wolf, acting as the pack leader for all the beast-type Soul Beasts. It led a small group of Desert Rock Wolves, Swift Shadow Leopards, and Rock Dogs as they trotted cheerfully across the flat, lush grass on their various sets of long and short legs.

"Neee~"

A Flying Dragon with shimmering scales and a shapely rear trotted over to Egg Pancake, a large, bright Red Fruit in its mouth. Wiggling its hips, it blinked at Egg Pancake and offered up the fruit.

"Squeak..."

Egg Pancake looked at the fruit in the Flying Dragon’s claws, then at the creature’s bright, expressive eyes. For some reason... it awkwardly turned its head away and hurriedly scurried a few steps forward.

"Neee~"

The Flying Dragon, whose scales shone like mirrors, was baffled. It stood frozen on the spot, still holding the fruit.

...

The migration proceeded in an orderly fashion.

This was the dwelling place for the academy’s reserve Beast Masters—the members who were still a bit weaker.

The official Beast Masters, however, were all to be transferred into Night Nether City for a final round of grueling "demon" training.

Of course, to ensure the safety of the reserve Beast Masters, they had decided to leave a certain number of official Beast Masters stationed in the Jade Forest.

One could never be too careful. Even though Qing Fan and the rest of the Dragon Blood leadership treated the academy with great courtesy, they couldn’t rule out the possibility of other Dragon Blood People with ulterior motives trying to stir up trouble.

「Another day passed.」

After restoring order and leaving some administrative staff behind, Han Ning led 36 of the academy’s official Beast Masters, along with 21 Tier Two Beastmasters from the Dragon Blood Race, toward Night Nether City.

Of these 36 people, 30 had already reached the Tier Two level. These were Beast Masters cultivated almost entirely after the battle with the Red Centipede Tribe, and they now comprised two-thirds of the academy’s total number of official Beast Masters. Han Ning had spared no expense, using all sorts of precious materials to help his comrades raise their Spiritual Power and the strength of their Contracted Soul Beasts.

Above the pitch-black fissure of the Grudge Abyss.

Dozens of Flying Soul Beasts broke through the gloomy Gray Mist, descending upon the location.

Aside from Han Ning, no one else in the group had ever seen what the Grudge Abyss truly looked like.

When they arrived, expressions of utter astonishment appeared on all their faces.

"It’s so dark... It feels like a giant mouth growing out of the land. Just looking at it sends a chill down my spine," Lin Tianhe said, glancing down for only a moment before quickly averting his gaze.

"What a rich aura of Darkness. Raising Dark Soul Beasts here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort," Luo Chen said, licking his lips, though he didn’t dare look into the pitch-black depths of the Abyss again.

"I heard that the last time Captain Han visited the Abyss, he formed an ’unforgettable friendship’ with a female Beast Master of the Abyssal Race. Is that true?" Xu Jingjing suddenly teased with a smile.

"Ahem, and a beautiful one, I hear!"

"..."

To alleviate the strange anxiety welling up inside them, everyone began communicating with each other using their Spiritual Power.

Han Ning stood atop Egg Pancake’s draconic head, arms crossed. He shot a helpless glance at Hom, who stood behind him, then sent a Spiritual Message to everyone nearby.

’Hom, you’ll say anything, won’t you? Don’t listen to his nonsense; he’s just making things up. Everyone, please refrain from scanning the area with your Spiritual Power. The mist in the Grudge Abyss has powerful hallucinogenic properties. Beast Masters below Tier Three are highly susceptible, so guard your minds. We’re moving out now.’

Upon receiving Han Ning’s Spiritual Message, everyone’s expression grew stern, and they focused their minds.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then, move out!"

In an instant, dozens of Flying Soul Beasts broke through the mist, plunging into the massive, eerie, pitch-black fissure.

Their descent was swift.

Whenever any reckless Abyssal Soul Beasts dared to attack, Yin Yi and Qingyao, who were guarding the perimeter, would shoot out a dense barrage of vines and chains, blasting the assailants to pieces in mid-air.

Soon, the group reached the spot where Han Ning had last met Ah Yu.

A dozen or so dilapidated stone buildings were scattered haphazardly across the rugged, rocky terrain.

The descending Soul Beasts caught the attention of the creatures inside the stone houses.

Hearing the noise, several Hexagon People rushed out.

’Thank goodness... Not much time has passed. This group of Hexagon People hasn’t left yet.’

Han Ning observed the fearful Hexagon People who didn’t dare to approach. He pulled a round, black stone from within his robes and, with a flick of his wrist, tossed it into the palm of their leader.

The leader was startled by Han Ning’s action and was about to flee in a panic when he noticed the stone in his hand was exceptionally familiar.

In an instant, he understood Han Ning’s intention. He quickly led his companions, stone in hand, and ran off into the darkness.

"Han Ning, what was that about?" Lin Tianhe asked curiously.
