Upon hearing that Xu Mu was going to make a move, both Yue and Xiao Tian Yuan’s faces lit up with joy. They had no doubt about Xu Mu’s abilities.

Xiao Tian Yuan had witnessed it before, and Yue had unconditional trust.

Under the consolation of the Martial Arts Grandmaster, the team gradually restored order.

The beast of a Martial Ancestor rank usually has its own territory, often located in the deepest part of the Wilderness. They didn’t expect to encounter one so soon after entering, and it was a particularly troublesome speed-type beast. Indeed, they were quite unlucky.

If they were unable to resolve this quickly, their only choice would be to retreat.

Although with their strength, it was not impossible to kill the three-tailed purple marten, if the losses were too heavy, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Now that Xu Mu was willing to make a move, they could breathe easily.

They did not depart after reorganizing themselves that day; they continued to set up camp to wait for the three-tailed purple marten to strike.

Compared to the leisurely atmosphere of yesterday, the mood was much tenser today, particularly for the patrolmen, whose nerves were practically fraying.

Yesterday’s casualties totalled twenty to thirty people; their bodies weren’t even cold yet. No one dared to be negligent.

“Do you think we can catch it?”

A troubled martial artist on patrol asked.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Who knows? But, I’ve heard that the young master is quite formidable.”

Very few had actually witnessed Xu Mu’s strength; most people only heard about it from others.

“If you ask me, we might as well retreat and wait for the beast to leave. We can then continue hunting for beasts. Otherwise, even if one is strong, it’s impossible to restrain it in one move. The unfortunate ones would be we.”

Upon hearing this, others also subtly nodded their heads.

Although they knew there would be dangers when they came in, everyone thought it wouldn’t happen to themselves and held on to the hope of getting lucky.

But now, the danger was hanging over their heads, just like a sword hanging by a thread over their necks. No one dared to predict when it would fall.

Those who were on patrol were terrified, and those who weren’t, were worried about encountering danger while on patrol.

This tense atmosphere also affected the people in the centre of the camp.

At least Zhang Ergou, Yang Jiang, and others still couldn’t help revealing worried expressions. Although they had the strength of a Martial Emperor, they were equally defenceless in front of a beast with Martial Saint speed.

So, everyone unintentionally gathered around Xu Mu, if conditions were unfavourable, they could at least stay close to him for safety.

Xu Mu remained in his tent, leisurely studying the collected items. Only after nightfall did he stop this activity.

He then sat cross-legged in the centre of the tent.

A human-shaped phantom appeared behind him again, but this time it strangely detached itself from his body and flew out alone.

“This feels so strange.”

Martial Artists could separate their beast spirits from their bodies and temporarily release them. But few people did so, because both the body and beast spirit would become weaker, and this ability seemed worthless.

But now, for Xu Mu, it had other uses.

Because in this state, he could use most of his Divine Skills, although it consumed his body’s vital essence.

The current sensation was similar to having an out-of-body experience, which took some getting used to.

Add to that his arrival in this world, for the first time possessing such an ability, the gap from his past was profound.

First, he cast an Invisibility Technique and retracted his aura completely, becoming as inconspicuous as a wisp of smoke.

After a quick sweep around the camp, he quickly caught a powerful beast’s aura.

A small beast, no bigger than a dog or cat, glowed slightly with a purple light. Having three long tails, it crouched on a tree branch, its small eyes glaring ferociously at the distant camp.

“No wonder Xiao Tian Yuan couldn’t catch it. This beast is not only fast, it’s small, and it only comes out at night. Even if two Martial Saints were to make a move, I’m afraid they can’t deal with it!”

To survive in the Wilderness, beasts need not only strength but also various abilities.

Some beasts are weaker but have first-class survival skills.

Otherwise, they would’ve been wiped out long ago, like the long-haired monkeys they had just met upon entering the Wilderness. Under normal circumstances, unless they had extremely restraining abilities, even beings several ranks above them would have a hard time catching them.

However, this was for ordinary martial artists. For him, this was of no concern.

Being small had its pros and cons.

For example, this three-tailed purple marten was faster than normal Martial Saints, making it almost uncatchable in the forest.

However, its strength was far weaker than those compared to the same level Martial Ancestor beasts. Otherwise, it would not choose to attack at night and target weaker martial artists.

Xu Mu moved in his beast spirit form at its maximum speed, approaching the three-tailed purple marten quietly like a wisp of smoke.

The three-tailed purple marten had an extremely sharp reaction, instantly sensing something unusual. Its entire body’s fur stood up, and its three tails lashed out in all directions, giving off a preemptive striking vibe.

But such an attack was nothing to Xu Mu.

With a gesture, he used an invisible force to envelop the three-tailed purple marten, freezing it on the spot.

This three-tailed purple marten was a nightmare for ordinary martial artists, but it was barely worth mentioning for Xu Mu. If it weren’t for Xiao Tian Yuan’s incompetence, he wouldn’t even bother to make a move.

After controlling it with his Paralysis Skill, Xu Mu held onto it and rapidly returned to his tent.

Explaining this could take a while, but in actuality, it happened in the blink of an eye.

The tense people in the tent felt that in the blink of an eye, Xu Mu was already holding the three-tailed purple marten when he walked in.

Xu Mu casually dropped the three-tailed purple marten on the ground and then merged with his original body.

The sight of the three-tailed purple marten casually thrown on the ground by Xu Mu made everyone’s nerves tightened.

Although the three-tailed purple marten was lying on the ground like a wooden puppet, its eyes were very lively, completely unlike a corpse.

There were no restraints on its body, of course, they were all afraid that it would suddenly rise and harm people.

Luckily, aside from its eyes, it couldn’t move the rest of its body.

“Yue, see if you can tame it?”

If this three-tailed purple marten were killed, it would just be killed, but if it could be tamed, it would undoubtedly be a lifesaver for Yue.

This one was equivalent to the group of beasts she had tamed.

“Ah? Can I do it?”

Now, Yue seemed a little unconfident.

Although she could tame the beasts of a Martial Emperor level, Martial Ancestor was a lot stronger than Martial Emperor, and most importantly, beasts of the Martial Ancestor level had high intelligence. They wouldn’t submit to her simply because of some vague sense of intimacy.

“Just try it. If you can’t, we kill it!” said Xu Mu.

Yue couldn’t bear to harm plant-based beasts, but she didn’t have much feeling for these flesh-based ones.

“Alright then!”

Yue nodded her head.

The others were also watching nervously at this moment. Being able to tame a Martial Emperor-level beast and a Martial Ancestor-level beast were two completely different things.
