With a flash of light, the three-headed beast appeared in front of the jeep.
Zhang Lei's pet is a horned rhinoceros, a common type of pet.
Judging from its physique, it has clearly reached maturity, and its strength level is at least Tier 2, Stage 5.
Zhao Mingshan's pet is a wind-slicing mantis, a wind-type pet.
Both are in the mature stage, and their levels are roughly at the second tier, sixth stage.
Li Pei is the strongest, and his pet is a mature Rock Bear.
The Earth-type Tier 2, Stage 9 pet is just one step away from breaking through to Tier 3.
And very soon.
Wang Xueyun also summoned her pet beast.
It is a rare flying-type pet, a second-tier, fifth-stage terrifying bee.
The entire adventure team consists of four Tier 2 pets, with the highest-level one reaching Tier 2, Stage 9.
This level of strength is enough to rank them in the middle among adventurers in Pinghai City.
Ultimately, Pinghai City is just a small third-tier city, so the overall level of adventurers there is naturally not very high.
Over 90% of adventurers are apprentice beast tamers, and their pets are generally of the second tier.
Lin Ze is a freak who has a third-tier pet beast right after advancing in rank; he's the only one like him.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ze took out the combat recorder and then summoned his pet beast.
A flash of light.
Ice Crystal Soul appeared out of thin air beside him.
A refreshing coolness spread instantly, dispelling the heat in the air.
Li Pei and the others noticed the presence of the Ice Crystal Soul immediately, and after taking a few glances, they all showed expressions of confusion.
What kind of pet is this?
It's like I've never seen them before.
Even so, they didn't ask any further questions.
Prying into someone's strength or private matters is a major taboo in the adventurer community.
Furthermore, they don't recognize all the pets, so it's normal to occasionally run into one or two that they don't know.
The swarm of insects moved very quickly and soon arrived at the vehicle.
Only when he got closer could Lin Ze see the appearance of the Deathstroke Beetle clearly.
They are about the size of a wolfhound, and look like black scarab beetles magnified many times over.
There was a horn-shaped tumor on his head.
It looks like a giant trumpet mouth.
It can unleash powerful sonic attacks.
This is also where the name "Deathbell Beetle" comes from.
After closing the distance to more than ten meters, the Death Knell beetles suddenly paused in unison, the fleshy growths on their foreheads suddenly shrank inward, and then suddenly expanded and popped out.
Buzz!
A deafening roar, like a death knell, suddenly erupted, transforming into invisible sound waves that swept rapidly toward Li Pei, Lin Ze, and the others.
The air along the way twisted dramatically, creating a trail visible to the naked eye.
Everyone was prepared and immediately unleashed their defensive soul techniques.
Five soul power shields instantly enveloped both the person and their pet.
The distorted sound waves bombarded them, only causing ripples, and no one was injured.
Wang Xueyun originally wanted to protect Lin Ze and his pet beast as well, but she was surprised to find that the latter had also mastered the Soul Guardian.
It's important to know that a level one Soul Guardian can only protect itself.
Only when it reaches level two can it be expanded to include other targets for protection.
But Lin Ze's age is what it is; he only awakened his powers less than a year ago, and he was promoted to trainee beast tamer just yesterday.
As a result, they not only mastered the Soul Guardian, but also upgraded it to level two.
What terrifying chain repair speed!
That's incredible!
Wang Xueyun was utterly shocked.
Li Pei and the other two stared wide-eyed at the sight, their faces filled with shock.
"As expected of a genius who passed the extremely difficult internship assessment!"
The same thought flashed through the minds of the four of them simultaneously, and they were filled with amazement.
Lin Ze ignored their changes in expression and ordered Ice Crystal Soul to launch an attack.
"Awoo."
Ice Crystal Soul let out a melodious cry and stretched out its palms forward.
Click! Click!
Suddenly, countless icicles solidified and appeared, sweeping out in an overwhelming manner and crashing down on the densest part of the insect swarm.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
In an instant, more than thirty death knell beetles were pierced and pinned to the ground by ice spikes.
The insect swarm decreased by about one-fifth instantly.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Having just recovered from their shock, Li Pei and the others were once again dumbfounded.
Although the Death Knell Beetle is only a Tier 1 pet, it has a strength level of 5 to 7.
Even Li Pei, the strongest among them, couldn't kill more than thirty Deathstroke Beetles in one blow.
You should know that his Rock Bear is a Tier 2, Level 9 pet.
In other words...
Lin Ze's pet is definitely above the level of the Rocky Bear.
In other words... a Tier 3 pet!
Upon realizing this, Li Pei and the others couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Isn't it rumored that Lin Ze's pet beast was at the level of the second tier, level six or seven? How come it suddenly became the third tier?"
Zhang Lei muttered to himself, his expression blank.
No one answered his question.
Everyone else looked bewildered and shocked.
An eighteen-year-old apprentice beast tamer possesses a third-tier pet beast; such strength is simply astonishing.
Could it be that Lin Ze is actually a direct descendant of a powerful and influential family of beast tamers?
Has one been supported by countless resources and guided by numerous renowned teachers from childhood to adulthood?
Otherwise, it would be unimaginable that a young man from a humble background could achieve such remarkable success.
For a moment, everyone's emotions were in turmoil.
At this moment, Ice Crystal Soul has already begun to unleash its second skill.
A chilling breath, imbued with extreme cold, emanated from its mouth, freezing a dozen or so death knell beetles that rushed close into ice sculptures.
Li Pei and the others were then jolted awake and quickly ordered their pets to join the battle.
With everyone working together, the swarm of insects was wiped out in no time.
Lin Ze alone took down nearly half of the Death Knell Beetles, achieving remarkable results.
After the battle.
The way everyone looked at Lin Ze now carried a hint of awe.
The strong are respected.
This is a principle that applies at all times.
Especially in the adventurer community where strength is revered, the strong are more likely to be respected and respected.
Although Lin Ze is young, he has already proven his strength, which naturally earns the respect of Li Pei and the others.
Compared to their previous enthusiastic flattery of geniuses, they now genuinely admire Lin Ze from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Ze, however, did not care about this.
In contrast, the gains from this battle made him happier.
More than seventy death knell beetles mean a mission reward of more than 70,000 credits.
The harvest from just one skirmish was surprisingly plentiful.
"No wonder they say beast tamers make money very easily."
Lin Ze sighed.
Those nearby couldn't help but smile wryly.
What you're saying... Which beast tamer can be as monstrous as you? Not only do you have a third-tier pet beast at such a young age, but you can also take down seventy or eighty Deathstroke Beetles all by yourself.
Most apprentice beast tamers only manage to raise a second-tier pet when they are in their twenties, and they have to be extremely careful when adventuring in the wild.
People like Li Pei risk their lives hunting in the wilderness every day. After a hard day's work, they only earn a few hundred thousand yuan, which they have to split among themselves.
This money was by no means easy to earn.
