Chapter 5: Copying Talent from a Ferocious Beast?
Ye Tian had also been stunned.
He had never seen a ferocious beast, but he had heard that they were extremely terrifying. They could easily slaughter ordinary people, and the only ones who could deal with them were warriors.
Outside the coastal base was a ring of walls, but sometimes the walls couldn't stop the ferocious beasts, and occasionally a beast would break into the base.
When ordinary people encountered a ferocious beast, there was only one outcome: death.
"I have to go home quickly!"
Ye Tian thought of his sister, Ye Yu. The house was not far from here, and the fragile walls were completely unable to withstand the ferocious beasts. He was very worried about his sister.
As he ran, Ye Tian vaguely saw a silver-white shadow darting back and forth at the end of the street, and one after another, ordinary people died under the shadow's attack.
Such speed had already surpassed the reaction speed of the eye. He was only watching from a distance; at close range, he would likely be killed by the ferocious beast without even seeing its shadow.
"If I encounter this beast, I will surely die!"
He would not foolishly believe that he was the protagonist who would never die in any situation, nor would he foolishly go and fight with the ferocious beast.
When faced with an unbeatable situation, the best course was to flee as quickly as possible!
Ye Tian was not foolish, so he ran.
Unfortunately, his speed was too slow compared to that of the ferocious beast, and the beast seemed to be charging in Ye Tian's direction.
Ye Tian knew that this beast was not targeting him, but if he encountered it, the beast would certainly not hesitate to kill him with a swipe of its claw.
"Scum, daring to kill in the base!"
Several warriors, led by a middle-aged man, rushed over and quickly surrounded the ferocious beast.
"Great, it's the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad!"
The Wind Wolf Hunting Squad?
Ye Tian knew the name of this hunting squad. It was a well-known squad in his area. The squad leader had a title called Wind Wolf and was a high-level warrior in the late stage, with more than a dozen early or middle-stage warriors under his command.
Seeing that the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad had arrived, many people breathed a sigh of relief, some even looking excitedly.
"Get out of the way, this ferocious beast is no ordinary one!"
The Wind Wolf squad leader yelled at the onlookers.
With this shout from the Wind Wolf squad leader, many people finally realized that watching a fight between warriors and a ferocious beast was not safe; if they were careless, they might die at the hands of the beast, and even the warriors might not have time to rescue them.
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
Everyone retreated, and Ye Tian also retreated far away but did not leave.
He also wanted to know what the combat power of a warrior was like.
Soon, the battle began!
The Wind Wolf squad leader's blade swung at the ferocious beast, the blade's light extremely dazzling in the night, obviously very powerful. The stone slabs on the street were slashed with a mark three meters long by the squad leader's blade.
Unfortunately, the speed of the beast was too fast, and it dodged the strike.
"What a powerful attack! Even the street slabs were cut open. If it were to strike a person, it would probably split them in half instantly. Is this the power of a warrior?"
Ye Tian was somewhat envious.
The warriors of the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad all drew their weapons and began to battle the ferocious beast, but their expressions were serious.
A warrior was struck by a ferocious beast, flung away in one blow, and a bloody mark was left on his chest.
The Wind Wolf team leader looked on with concern but didn't check Xiaobai's injuries, instead attacking the ferocious beast.
Though the beast had seriously wounded a warrior, it was surrounded by many others and quickly injured.
"Be careful, this beast is trying to escape!"
The Wind Wolf team leader shouted.
Seeing the situation turn against it, the beast transformed into a silver light, breaking through the encirclement, and tried to flee into the distance.
At that moment, an arrow shot from afar hit the beast.
Following a loud thump, the beast fell onto the street, its true form fully exposed.
"It's a silver mink!"
Ye Tian saw it clearly.
This silver mink, a meter long, had sharp claws and blood-red eyes.
"This Silver Moon Mink has been critically injured by Xiao Yue. Let's work harder and kill it. Then we won't have to hunt beasts for a month!"
The Wind Wolf team leader excitedly said.
Obviously, the Silver Moon Mink was very valuable.
The injured Silver Moon Mink was no match for the Wind Wolf hunting team, but it seemed it hadn't given up hope.
A silver glow burst from its body, and its momentum dramatically increased.
"Be careful, it's stimulating its bloodline and preparing to explode!"
The Wind Wolf team leader roared, warning the others.
The warriors quickly backed away, lest they perish with the Silver Moon Mink.
But suddenly, the mink charged toward the crowd of people.
All the warriors' faces changed; they understood the Silver Moon Mink's intentions!
The Wind Wolf team leader shouted at the distant crowd.
Sadly, the Silver Moon Mink was too fast, especially after unleashing its bloodline power; there was no way the ordinary people could dodge.
In a breath's time, the Silver Moon Mink reached the crowd.
Without any technique, merely a crash, ordinary people were sent flying, their fates unknown.
Another arrow shot from the hidden Wind Wolf team member Xiaoyue.
The arrow entered the Silver Moon Mink, passing through its wound.
The already critically injured Silver Moon Mink finally died, its life force gradually fading.
At that moment, many people ran away, not daring to approach the Silver Moon Mink.
Yet a young man approached the Silver Moon Mink, gently touching its skin.
"Young man, you are brave, daring to touch a ferocious beast?"
The Wind Wolf team leader approached, laughing heartily.
"It's the first time I've seen a ferocious beast, I couldn't help but touch it out of curiosity!" the young man said awkwardly.
The Wind Wolf team leader nodded approvingly, "Not bad, lad. You are already a martial disciple, aren't you? At this age, it's good progress. You might even become a warrior. Once you do, I'll allow you to join our team!"
"Thank you, Wind Wolf team leader!"
The young man said excitedly.
The Wind Wolf hunting team didn't linger and carried away the Silver Moon Mink's corpse, departing one by one.
The young man who had talked with the Wind Wolf team leader stood in the street, smiling foolishly. Everyone who saw this thought the young man had gone mad.
Becoming a warrior wasn't so easy, and they thought the Wind Wolf team leader's words were mere pleasantries.
However, the young man's laughter was not because of the Wind Wolf team leader's words.
This young man was Ye Tian.
"Haha, I didn't expect the second talent I copied to be from a ferocious beast!" Ye Tian said excitedly.
