Chapter 415: Six Mounts
However, herbivores are too rare.
After all, fierce beasts are very powerful. If there were herbivores, they’d probably have been eaten up, right?
Either the defense power of herbivores is amazing, or their speed is extraordinary.
In any case, only by being difficult to be hunted by fierce beasts can they survive.
Otherwise, their reproductive ability is divine, even more effective than mice.
Just like those rock mice in the desert, their numbers are enormous, and they can give birth in just a dozen days, with three to five pups per litter.
"Xu Yi, thank you. I will work harder and won’t let you all down." With that, Liu Li gave a slight smile to Xu Yi and then walked towards that fierce beast.
Everyone has actually given a name.
After all, they all want to have a fierce beast of their own.
"Hei Yun, from now on, this is your name." Liu Li patted Hei Yun’s head and said happily.
Xu Yi handed a saddle to Liu Li, and the remaining saddle was given to Qin Yue. Although the last one wasn’t tamed yet, it was already a done deal.
"Everyone, continue to rest. Tomorrow we will continue our journey," Xu Yi said, then returned to the tent.
Now, they could move towards the edge of the level 3 fierce beast area, no longer needing half a day to travel, but using a whole day for travel.
After all, Xu Yi could handle five or six fierce beasts himself. At this point, not going to the edge of the level 3 fierce beast activity area would be a waste of his strength.
At the edge of the level 3 fierce beast activity area, Xu Yi could encounter level 3 fierce beasts and understand how big the gap between him and level 3 fierce beasts is.
So, apart from Zhou Mo and Zhou Chun who were on night watch, everyone else returned to the tent.
The father and son duo didn’t say anything.
They actually understood why Xu Yi gave fierce beasts to Qin Yue and Liu Li. Because their strength was relatively weak.
It’s worth noting that Xu Yi knew Su Yan before coming to the challenge. Normally, Xu Yi should have given Su Yan one early on. However, he did not.
Su Yan is a doctor. For the team, she is an indispensable member and plays a much bigger role for Xu Yi than other ordinary members.
Even Xu Yi didn’t particularly take care of her, so Zhou Chun and Zhou Mo really had no reason to gossip.
The two kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings, especially Zhou Mo with the night vision device who kept looking around.
As time ticked away, dawn soon broke.
Lu Ke woke up early and was practicing the first move of the Body Refining Technique.
Even if it’s just one move, she is still quite unskilled. However, this does not affect her enthusiasm for practice.
"System, time to punch in." Xu Yi performed the punch-in even before opening his eyes.
Today marks the 137th day of punch-in.
After completing the punch-in, Xu Yi got out of bed.
It must be said that the Spirit Race’s beds are incredibly comfortable, sitting cross-legged on them feels much more comfortable than sitting elsewhere, with no sense of pressure at all.
After getting up, Xu Yi practiced the Body Refining Technique twice, which took nearly an hour, and then he finished his training and walked out of the tent with Lu Ke.
After washing up, everyone ate some jerky.
Currently, their jerky is running low, with only a few dozen pounds left.
However, now they can eat the fresh meat stored in the Star Chart Space without needing to spend time making jerky.
After breakfast, the tent was packed up and everyone set off.
Xu Yi used the Taming Skills 20 times on the last fierce beast but did not succeed.
Therefore, Xu Yi had to wait for the next hour before using the Taming Skills again.
Wang Jin’s beast had recovered from its injuries mostly, but Wang Jin didn’t ride it, as it was still hurt.
By around ten in the morning, Xu Yi finally tamed the last fierce beast and helped Qin Yue fix the saddle.
Now, with 6 steeds, their speed could be increased.
"Two riders per steed, speed up, let’s quickly reach the edge of the level 3 fierce beast activity area. Maybe there, you can soon become level 2 mages. At that time, we can start dealing with level 3 fierce beasts," Xu Yi said, then shared a ride with Zhou Chun.
Alongside Lu Ke was Su Yan, while Wang Jin was with Lu Yao, and Qin Fan with Qin Chao.
Zhou Mo rode Liu Li’s Hei Yun, with Cheng Jie behind Qin Yue.
Then, they set off.
These fierce beasts galloped swiftly toward the south.
"Keke, your husky is faster than my sports car," Su Yan said somewhat enviously, as she hopes to have a fierce beast of her own.
"No way, when I sat in your car that day, it was faster than the husky," Lu Ke replied, acknowledging that the husky’s speed is indeed not slower than a car.
"That’s different, that was at top speed, normally you can’t drive that fast," Su Yan replied, referring to the time when the whole city cleared paths for them.
"Hehe, let Xu Yi tame one for you that’s faster and more impressive," said Lu Ke, turning to glance at Xu Yi behind her.
The husky is among the fastest of the fierce beasts, with only Qin Chao’s chicken being slightly faster, which surprised Lu Ke.
Wang Jin, Qin Yue, and Liu Li’s steeds are the same type of fierce beast, so their speeds are similar. Wang Jin’s slightly slower due to her beast still recovering from heavy injuries yesterday.
However, on the Blue Spirit Star, a perk is fast recovery from injuries — after a night and a morning, Wang Jin’s coffee is 80% healed, so the speed isn’t too affected.
The slowest is Xu Yi’s Black Qilin.
Yet Xu Yi doesn’t mind a bit, as while the Black Qilin is weak now, it won’t always be weak.
Once it reaches level 2, it probably won’t be slower than the huskies.
In the jungle, everyone was rushing towards the depths.
Yesterday’s notice gave everyone a common goal, leveling up.
With Xu Yi already at level 2, and them still at level 1, they couldn’t let the gap widen, right?
So, everyone was giving their all, rushing towards the south.
Especially Ivica’s team, as they were at the outermost position, they could only sprint desperately.
Luckily, in the jungle, level 2 fierce beasts weren’t numerous, so their encounter probability was low.
Moreover, their group was large, so even if they encountered a few, they could manage.
However, as they ventured deeper, they found it increasingly difficult to handle.
So Jerry came up with an idea, alliance.
Forming alliances with others was a necessity to reach the edge of the level 3 fierce beast area. Otherwise, they’d have to stop and wait for everyone to level up before proceeding.
But that’s too slow.
Progressing another ten meters would yield better results and faster speed.
