Chapter 19: Moonlit Night, Alina’s Secret

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In Grant Forest.

The King Kong Beast hammered its chest and let out a roar. Immediately, an invisible shockwave that seemed extremely powerful spread out, with it at the center.

“It actually killed four Epic-rank beasts at one go.”

Looking at everything before her, Alina’s eyes widened in shock.

It was a Gold-rank spirit beast that did all of this.

No one would believe it if word got out, but it had indeed happened.

This made Alina even more curious about Giles.

“Indeed, one has to rely on oneself for everything.”

Giles sighed, then turned to look at Alina.

“What are you waiting for?”

“Quickly come and deal with the corpses of these ferocious beasts. These Epic-rank beasts have good stuff on them.”

After instructing the King Kong Beast to pay attention to its surroundings, Giles took out a knife from his spatial wristband to cut the pythons’ scales.

Aside from the snake gallbladder and the beast’s core, the scales and bones of such Epic-rank pythons were the most valuable.

The bones were too troublesome to get.

Giles could only do his best to cut off some of the scales before taking out the pythons’ gallbladders and the beasts’ cores.

Seeing this, Alina joined in and began to deal with the ferocious beasts.

A moment later…

Alina handed the cores of two Epic-rank beasts to Giles.

Giles didn’t take them.

“Everyone gets a share. You can keep it.”

After saying this, Giles went to cut some python meat. This was the food he was preparing to give his spirit beasts.

The meat of ferocious beasts was also a type of resource. If humans and spirit beasts ate it for a prolonged period of time, it could strengthen their bodies.

However, Giles’ spatial wristband only had two cubic meters of space, so it could not contain much.

On the other hand, Alina saw that Giles had actually given her two Epic-rank beast cores.

She looked at Giles, her eyes glowing with wonder.

This was because the core of an Epic-rank beast was very valuable on the market.

One could imagine how high the price would be given that a Gold-rank spirit beast could evolve faster after swallowing it.

Even so, Giles had given it straight to her.

Alina looked at the King Kong Beast and smiled.

She understood that only someone as strong as Giles would do that.

After all, he had a spirit beast that could defeat Epic-rank beasts.

It’s easy to obtain as many cores of Epic-rank beasts as I want.

With this thought in mind, Giles had already disposed of the beasts’ corpse.

He turned around and asked Alina, “Now that we’re separated from Rex and the others, are you going to leave this place or find them and continue the mission?”

Giles was going to find Rex and the others.

Or rather, Giles didn’t want to leave this forest yet.

As he had the King Kong Beast and the other spirit beast, Giles felt that as long as he did not go deep into the forest, he would be safe.

In order to nurture the spirit beasts, it was not a bad idea to gather the resources required for spirit beasts from this place.

On the other hand, Giles was also curious about what the beast that was about to break through to the Legendary-rank looked like.

If he could meet Rex and the others again later, he could go and take a look.

With this in mind, he frowned and looked at Alina.

He just didn’t know what she would choose.

From the beginning, Giles did not know why a Gold-rank Beast Tamer like Alina would participate in this operation.

Just now, when Alina faced the four Epic-rank beasts, she did not look afraid at all.

It was either she did not care about life and death, or she had something to back her up.

Giles was more inclined towards the latter.

There were not many people in this world who could see through life and death.

Not to mention that she is only a young woman in her twenties.

Giles thought to himself.

On the other hand, ALina heard the question. Just as Giles had expected, she did not hesitate at all and said, “Of course I’m going to continue with the operation. I’m not someone who only does a job halfway.”

She smiled at Giles and the Four-eyed Spirit Cat beside her purred, as if echoing its master.

Upon hearing this, Gilesnodded without saying anything.

Giles then took out his communicator and prepared to contact Rex.

However, after fiddling with it for a long time, there was still no signal.

“The signal in Grant Forest is very bad. It seems like we won’t be able to contact Rex and the others anytime soon,” Alina explained.

Upon hearing this, Giles frowned, feeling that things were getting complicated.

This forest was huge to begin with, and now that they could not contact each other, it would be very difficult for them to meet up.

Only Rex knew where the evolving Epic-rank ferocious beast was.

If he couldn’t contact Rex for a long time, Giles could only choose to leave.

After all, if he delayed for too long, by the time that beast evolved to the Legendary rank, Giles would no longer be confident.

This was because ferocious beasts would begin to come into contact with the power of the universe from the Legendary rank onwards. At the same time, their soul strength would undergo a qualitative change. They were far from what Epic-rank ferocious beasts could compare with.

Although Giles’ King Kong Beast could easily fight against Epic-rank ferocious beasts, it was wishful thinking for it to fight against Legendary-rank ferocious beasts.

Perhaps when the King Kong Beast evolved into an Epic-rank spirit beast, it might be able to put up a fight against them.

Therefore, the first thing to do was to find Rex and meet up with him.

Aside from that, Giles was also worried that Rex would simply abandon the operation and leave Grant Forest. If so, Giles would have no choice but to leave.

How should he find them in the forest where the signal was cut off?

It became a question Giles had to think about now.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.

“I almost forgot about that.”

Then, under Alina’s puzzled gaze, he summoned a Gold-rank spirit beast.

It was the Three-Headed Hellhound.

After finishing the story yesterday, the Green-furred Dog had evolved into a Gold-rank skill and even awakened an innate skill.

Giles had thought that it would be used as a combat spirit beast, but he did not expect that it would be used as a support spirit beast now.

The spirit beasts contracted by Beast Tamers also had their own responsibilities.

Other than Beast Tamers who contracted only one spirit beast, most Beast Tamers would contract multiple spirit beasts.

Each of these spirit beasts had their own division of labor. Some were responsible for combat, while others were for support.

There was no need to talk about those used for combat.

There were many support spirit beasts as well. Flying spirit beasts were considered one type, and there were also some healing and scouting spirit beasts that were also considered support spirit beasts.

Right now, Giles had asked the Three-headed Hellhound to be their scouting beast to help them find Rex and the others.

After all, canine-type spirit beasts had very sharp noses.

After Giles used his spiritual power to communicate with the Three-headed Hellhound and told it everything, it then followed Rex’s scent to find them.

Giles nodded at Alina and they trailed after the Three-headed Hellhound.

Along the way, they saw trees being destroyed from time to time.

Giles realized that this was caused by Rex’s Earth Barbaric Bear.

However, Giles could tell that Rex was not planning to leave.

He immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Along the way, they encountered some ferocious beast attacks.

However, they were all killed by the King Kong Beast.

Soon, the sky turned dark.

Giles and Alina stopped moving.

After all, the forest at night was much more dangerous than during the day.

Both of them found a stone cliff and prepared to take a rest there.

Giles tossed some giant python meat to the Three-headed Hellhound and King Kong Beast, before leaning against a rock and gazing at the stars.

The stars twinkled and the moon shone brightly.

Alina sat beside him. She looked up at the moon.

“Giles, aren’t you curious as to why I’m participating in this operation?”
