Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 458: Chapter 304: Exotic Realm Battle 2

"What about you, Ah Yu?"

"If Lord Han Ning agrees, then I agree too," Ah Yu replied, following his lead.

"Alright then. The three of our Soul Beasts happen to be Lord Level."

As they spoke, a serving woman led the four of them to an empty table near the center of Tingchao Pavilion.

Above the table, a mystical cloud of mist floated, displaying the flickering images of two Soul Beasts in combat.

The serving woman respectfully invited them and their Soul Beasts to sit. Hailian, their guide, had intended to wait in the rest area for them to finish their meal, but Han Ning stopped her and asked her to join them.

After they were seated, the serving woman began to record their basic information and asked, "Valued guests, would you prefer to participate in a battle before your meal, or after?"

"Doesn’t matter. You can arrange it as you see fit."

"Understood. What dishes would you like to order?"

"Boiled Colorful Dragon Fish, Steamed Thunder-Fire Shrimp, Garlic Thick-Earth Oysters, Spiritual Bamboo Jelly, Stewed Kui Water Clams... bring us one of everything!" Han Ning declared with a wave of his hand.

"Very well. Please wait for our notice, valued guests."

After the serving woman left, Lin Tianhe stared at the swirling cloud of mist and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"I never thought an Otherworld restaurant would have a live broadcast like a TV. And their commerce is so advanced."

Han Ning also marveled, "The people of the Otherworld aren’t stupid. Although their tech tree developed differently from Blue Star’s, their Beast Taming civilization is incredibly advanced. Just looking at Shuixiu City, it’s in no way inferior to our information age."

"Hmm... It’s a 3v3 battle. Each person can only send out one Soul Beast, and regardless of winning or losing, each person can only fight once. It’s best two out of three. The first to go is decided by a roll of the dice. Han Ning, which Soul Beast are you sending out?"

"Fei Lin. She’s a bit lacking in combat experience, so this will be good practice," Han Ning said, stroking Fei Lin’s head beside him.

"Eee!" Fei Lin propped her chin on her hands and chirped happily.

"Goo?" the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm murmured, sounding a little hurt, and gently nudged Han Ning’s arm.

It was as if to say, ’Master, why not let the little silkworm fight?’

"There will be other chances..." Han Ning said, rubbing the Little Fatty Silkworm’s belly.

"Oh? You’re sending Fei Lin? In that case, I’ll send out Dazhuang..." Lin Tianhe chuckled.

Dazhuang was the name he’d given his Water-Split Crocodile. His Soul Beasts were all too large to bring inside, so they were resting in his Soul Beast Space.

Soon, the staff brought out platters of fresh, lively seafood, covering the entire table.

A spread of delicacies, all made from Half-Soul Beasts, was laid out before them. For a moment, they forgot all about battles, their attention completely captured by the rumbling in their stomachs.

"Let’s eat, let’s eat!"

There were bright red Thunder-Fire Shrimp, tender Colorful Dragon Fish, and the strangely shaped but springy-textured Spiritual Bamboo Jelly.

Ah Yu filled a large porcelain bowl to the brim with pearly white fish soup, carefully removed all the bones, and placed it in front of Han Ning.

"Ah Yu, don’t worry about me. You eat," Han Ning said, shaking his head gently.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Ah Yu obediently picked up her bowl and chopsticks and began to eat.

"Jii jii~" Egg Pancake was, as always, most interested in eating.

It hopped onto the table in front of Han Ning, extended a claw, and rolled a scallop into its younger brother, the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s, bowl. Then it grabbed a large leg from some unknown Soul Beast for itself and began to munch on it noisily.

"Goo-mi!" A happy smile spread across the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s chubby face. It reached out a claw and patted Egg Pancake Brother Ge’s hard back.

The others also stopped talking. The only sounds were the tearing and chewing of food, punctuated by the scattered conversations of other diners nearby.

The table full of seafood was soon empty.

"Waiter! Another two plates of Thunder-Fire Shrimp, and another round of everything we just had," Lin Tianhe said, rubbing his slightly bulging stomach and licking his lips, still not fully satisfied.

Beast Masters had physical constitutions far superior to ordinary people. Even the quiet and reserved Hailian was a big eater. One table of food was clearly not enough to fill their stomachs.

Lin Tianhe, in particular, ate even more ferociously than Han Ning and Ah Yu. Before he had even swallowed the lobster in his mouth, he was already grabbing several mantis shrimp with one hand and a large bird leg with the other, stuffing them into his mouth.

"...Slow down, you. There’s plenty to go around."

"Sorry, you’re seeing me at my worst. It’s been a long time since I’ve had seafood this fresh," Lin Tianhe mumbled through a mouthful of food.

...

「Tens of minutes later, inside a luxurious private room in Tingchao Pavilion.」

A few figures with extraordinary auras were gathered around a table, discussing something.

Just then, a scantily clad serving woman pushed the door open, knelt beside a woman in a white gauze dress, and said in a low voice, "Lady Shui Rui, those three, Han Ning’s group, are about to participate in Tingchao Pavilion’s Soul Beast battles. This is their basic information. Do you have any special arrangements you’d like to make?"

"Lord Level?"

Hearing this, Shui Rui looked up at the people sitting before her and smiled gently. "Shui Yun... I’ll leave these three Alien Race Beast Masters to you. Go and probe their abilities. See who they really are."

After a pause, she swept her calm gaze over their faces, her tone unchanging.

"It’s been a while. This is a good opportunity for me to see the results of your Soul Beast training."

Although her tone was as gentle as an older sister’s from next door, the three people opposite her trembled. The young Alien Race member in the lead nodded vigorously. "We will not disappoint you, Elder."

By the time they arrived at the battle area, the previous match had just ended, and the staff were cleaning the battle stage.

Meanwhile, Han Ning’s group, having eaten and drunk their fill, followed a serving woman to the massive battle area located at the back of Tingchao Pavilion.

It had to be said, the restaurant’s footprint was truly enormous. The battleground at the back alone was 20 by 30 meters, occupying a space of over 600 square meters. It was enclosed by a transparent curtain wall of rippling water, protecting the diners outside from any impact.

As soon as they arrived at the battle area, Han Ning and the others were informed that Ah Yu would go first, he would be second, and Lin Tianhe third.

Of course, if the first two won their matches, the third person wouldn’t need to fight.

"Ah Yu, the first match is all yours," Han Ning said, patting her shoulder encouragingly.

"Lord Han Ning, I will not lose!" Ah Yu pulled off her hood, her expression exceptionally determined as she walked onto the battle stage.

"Why is she being so serious? It’s not like it’s a life-or-death battle..." Lin Tianhe grinned as he watched Ah Yu’s slender figure.

...

"Elder sister, are you really making me fight her?"

On the outskirts of the arena, in a certain rest area, a slender and tall male Beast Master with a hint of frivolity in his expression pointed at the pale-skinned Ah Yu in the mist and frowned at the leader beside him.

"My strength is second only to yours. Why do I have to fight that person’s Attendant?"

The leader was a tall young woman, a full 1.8 meters in height, with azure scales like translucent, sparkling gems embedded on either side of her cheeks.

Hearing the man’s words, the woman’s pale blue eyes showed not the slightest ripple of emotion. Her tone was calm as she said, "Don’t judge a book by its cover. Have you not suffered enough losses at the hands of the Alien Races?"

"Hmph. A mixed-blood Abyssal Race descendant, and an Attendant at that. What skills could she possibly have?"

The man dismissed the woman’s words and waved to his companions. "Just wait for the good news of my victory."

...

Hearing light footsteps approaching, Ah Yu opened her eyes from her meditative rest. A young voice came from across the stage. "Abyssal Race? Which clan?"

Ah Yu pursed her lips and did not answer.

She silently observed the young Merfolk’s appearance. He looked even younger than Lord Han Ning.

’He’s probably only sixteen or seventeen.’

"One minute of preparation time. The Beast Masters on both sides are prohibited from using Spiritual Secret Techniques," announced a fish-headed referee, standing at the edge of the stage with his arms crossed. A massive, sturdy, cyan crab stood beside him.

Generally, the preparation time was used for trash talk.

But Ah Yu wasn’t one for taunts, and besides, the distance between them was a bit far, so she simply remained silent.

Seeing Ah Yu’s silence, Shui Jin grinned, revealing a set of white teeth as the air in front of him distorted.

A giant, turtle-like Soul Beast with a pale blue shell appeared on the battle stage.
