Be A Global Beast Master By System Bugs

C12 - The Beast Tide(2)

"Pfft!"

The driver shuddered, his previously flushed face from the intense battle now ashen, as he opened his mouth to expel a gush of blood.

The porcupine was dead, shredded into fragments by a pack of vicious wolves.

With only two elite-grade spirit animals remaining, the squad's combat power had plummeted by at least thirty percent.

The number of encircling vicious wolves was increasing, now exceeding two hundred.

That alone would have been manageable, but among the wolves, they spotted a few barbed sus scrofa and vicious jackals.

In the wild, the barbed sus scrofa were the epitome of brutes, charging at anything in sight. A group of more than ten would deter even the vicious jackals from engaging.

Both the feral jackals and the evil jackals belonged to the same category of fiend beasts, sharing the same elite status.

Typically, barbed sus scrofa and vicious jackals wouldn't mingle, so what was unfolding before them?

"Could this be... a beast tide?"

Fatty and the driver exchanged a glance, each seeing the mirror of their own despair.

...

"What's this? It's a bit over the top, isn't it?"

Zhou Mu, having set the car to autopilot, pulled out his phone to dive into a novel.

A cataclysm four centuries prior had steered the world onto a path vastly different from his previous life, triggering a domino effect of changes.

Every piece of literature revolved around spirit animals, monotonously similar and devoid of originality.

The majority featured fortunate Animal Whisperers stumbling upon a high-quality spirit animal cub, sharing in battles and growth.

On rare occasions, the narrative flipped: the spirit animal became the Animal Whisperer's master, or transformed into a human to lead an unabashed life with its Whisperer.

And then there were those second-rate authors, whose works were frankly too dreadful to endure.

Titles like The Tyrannical Bear Fell in Love with Me, The Secrets I Must Keep from My 1200-Year-Old Nine-Tailed Fox Landlady, and The Young Snake...

Zhou Mu flipped through a book and felt a sense of déjà vu with some of the plots.

The landlord...

The Snake's academic performance was less than stellar...

"Damn, I'm an upstanding guy. Why do they keep recommending these kinds of books to me?"

He grumbled under his breath but was soon engrossed in the reading.

Life in the wilderness was monotonous, a never-ending cycle of travel and combat.

Thankfully, the vehicle's state-of-the-art energy system made these prolonged journeys possible.

"I've racked up over 8,000 points. I'll head back once I hit 10,000."

Zhou Mu stretched, feeling the growth in his soul intensity, now at 2.9 points. He was on the cusp of becoming a level three Animal Whisperer and bonding with a second spirit animal.

For now, his sole focus was on accumulating points, setting aside concerns about money and missions.

After all, the items in the points shop couldn't be purchased with money. Some were regulated goods; others didn't even belong to this world.
