Chapter 8: Encountering Beasts On The Way

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the captain finished speaking, he made the flying centipede open its mouth.

The young people lined up and walked over.

To be honest, entering the mouth of a beast on their own volition made these young people, who had just started out, a little afraid.

However, in order to successfully become reach the top, they still endured the fear and walk in.

Su Xing was one of them.

Even though Su Xing was more mature than the average person of the same age, it was still his first time coming into contact with the flying centipede.

Therefore, he was a little afraid.

He watched as the group of students walked in.

The captain also led his soldiers into the flying centipede.

Some of these soldiers were beastmasters, while others were ordinary people. However, without exception, they were all traversers of this era.

The flying centipede seemed to be covered in spiky bristles, and it looked very ferocious. However, there was a different world inside.

There were many chairs placed inside the flying centipede.

The most surprising thing was that there were even lights inside. It was well lit.

There were small screens at the front, which should be connected to external equipment so that they could see the scenery outside.

It was just like a long-distance bus in his previous life.

It seemed like this familiar had been specially modified.

Su Xing looked at all of this curiously, feeling a little incredulous.

Before the global changes, there were countless villages and cities within a radius of 50 kilometers.

But now, there was only one city, the North City!

Moreover, because the Beastmaster Academy was relatively close to the North City, it was called the North City’s Beastmaster Academy,

From this, it could be seen that the living conditions of the humans were still not optimistic.

Inside the flying centipede, the soldiers and the students didn’t sit together. Instead, there was a separate place for the two groups.

The scenery outside the window was boring after all. Therefore, after the initial excitement died down, the young people no longer had that fresh new feeling.

Instead, they began to chat among themselves.

Someone was talking about news that had just happened, and someone else was talking about the familiar egg that their family had bought for them.

Some people were discussing rumors about beastmasters, while others were gossiping about certain celebrities.

It seemed that there was no lack of gossipy people in any era. As Su Xing listened by the side, he sighed in his heart.

After all, they were young people, and there were still a lot of common topics to talk about.

Therefore, for a time, the carriage became lively.

Su Xing only listened quietly, with no intention of interrupting.

He was now thinking about when he could advance, so that he could unlock his next familiar.

After all, he had cultivated with Whitey for so long, and he wanted a change of pace.

Just as these young people were discussing enthusiastically, the flying centipede suddenly landed.

“Have we arrived? That was fast.”

Li Xuan asked in surprise.

“Not yet, I’m afraid something has happened!”

Su Xing looked at the screens around him and said.

As if confirming Su Xing’s words, a soldier hurriedly ran over.

“Fellow students, we encountered a savage beast attack, but please don’t panic, it will be resolved soon.”

A soldier came over and saluted.

The system’s voice suddenly rang in Su Xing’s ears: [Host, please join the fight against the savage beast. Mission completion reward is 500 experience points!]

Su Xing’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard that. He had been worrying about how to level up just now, but the opportunity had come.

Seeing that the soldier was about to leave, Su Xing hurriedly said, “Brother, please let me fight with you.”

The soldier turned around to look at Su Xing in surprise, then shook his head and said, “I’m afraid that won’t do. Fighting savage beasts isn’t suitable for you guys right now. You guys should wait until you graduate from school before joining the battle!”

Seeing that he had been rejected, Su Xing hurriedly said, “Brother, I’m a level 20 E—rank beastmaster. Facing such a situation, I think I can join the battle, and I definitely won’t hold you guys back.”

The soldier was a little surprised when he heard that. He had sent countless students to the Beastmaster Academy, but this was the first time he had seen a level 20 beastmaster before they even entered the academy.

“Do you really have that kind of strength?”

The soldier asked in disbelief.

“It’s true. I want to fight alongside you. I’ve long wanted to see just how strong these savage beasts are. I can fight against them now!”

Su Xing quickly said this.

It was the truth. Even without the system’s reward, Su Xing would still think of a way to witness this kind of battle, since it would be helpful in the future.

The soldier looked troubled. He didn’t know if he should agree.

“Brother, if you feel troubled, bring me to your superior and ask for instructions.”

Su Xing didn’t continue making things difficult for the soldier. Instead, he changed his request.

This time, the soldier only gave it a simple thought before agreeing.

He brought Su Xing to a cabin in front of them.

This place was closer to the flying centipede’s mouth, and it would be better for him to participate in the battle from here.

“Why are you so slow?”

The captain said unhappily when he saw the soldier arrive late.

“Captain Liu, this person is a level 20 beastmaster. He said he wants to fight with us. What do you think?”

The soldier stood at attention and answered.

“Level 20 beastmaster?”

Captain Liu asked in disbelief. It had been many years since such a person had appeared in North City.

“Yes, Captain Liu. I’m already a level 20 beastmaster now. Let me go with you. I think I can help!”

Su Xing said resolutely.

“You can, but you have to put your own safety first, understand?”

Captain Liu instructed Su Xing.

Su Xing hurriedly nodded and said, “Definitely.”

Captain Liu knew that Su Xing was a talent, so he let Su Xing go out and reminded him with concern.

“01, keep an eye on him. Don’t let him take any risks.”

Then, Captain Liu turned around and ordered the soldier who brought Su Xing.

“Yes!”

01 immediately responded.

Just like that, Su Xing followed the fully armed soldier out of the flying centipede.

What he didn’t know was that in the room next door, someone was really watching his performance.

“Grandpa, why did he follow them out? Is he going to watch the battle?”

An old man and a girl were sitting in the room.

This was what the girl had asked the old man.

“Wait a minute. What is he doing?”

The old man was the president of the Beastmaster Association’s North City branch, Zhao Jinbao.

He was also the strongest person in North City, and the only S-rank beastmaster in North City.

He had come along to protect this batch of students.

Normally, the vice president would be accompanying the students.

However, this year’s situation was special. His own granddaughter was among them, so Zhao Jinbao took the time to personally come over.

In the face of savage beasts, there would usually be soldiers on duty to deal with them.

Why would this freshman appear on the frontline battlefield?
