"If Bai Mian and I hadn't met not long ago, we would have thought these pets were completely different."

This change is so great, even greater than being possessed.

Guangguang, however, felt it was understandable.

"Actually, it's no different from being possessed. Although these pets are not like that pale-faced scholar who has been completely transformed into a robot from head to toe, body and mind, their thinking is clearly no longer that of normal extraordinary beings."

After all, it's impossible for pets not to know whether their beast tamer is dead or not. Even with White Face in this state, is it normal for them to still obediently follow commands?

Even I, a highly intelligent AI, can see that they're finished. They've lost the spirituality and wisdom of extraordinary beings; they're just a bunch of stupid idiots who can only do whatever they're told.

Mingxi: "..."

Goodness.

She felt like she was being subtly criticized again.

Because just now, she was just a complete idiot who only knew how to point and shoot!

x.

How come she doesn't have megalophobia?

"Ahem, let's continue to watch. You all better stay away, or you'll become cannon fodder."

Of course, she was the most in danger.

It's clear that this 'white-faced' guy understands the 'rules of the game' very well, and he's specifically targeting beast tamers, killing them relentlessly. He's even more ruthless than Mingxi was not long ago.

After thinking about it, I realized that she was actually a bit conspicuous.

It's better to stay hidden.

Therefore, she managed to hide inside Chiyu's 【King's Palace】. Chiyu's defensive capabilities are the strongest among the nine Golden Ingots. Even if 'White Face' goes into overdrive, it won't be able to defeat her in a short time.

It won't stop her from enjoying the gossip and watching the drama unfold.

Safety is guaranteed.

"thunder."

Seeing Mingxi enter the King's bedchamber, Jin Yuanbao and the others didn't delay. They knew how to protect themselves, and under the cover of the other pets, they quickly shrunk their size using the pet shrinking bracelets or their own methods.

Meanwhile, 'White Face's' pet beasts became even more ferocious in their killing spree.

This killing has indeed only just begun.

The Falcon reigns supreme in the skies.

A sharp cry came from the sky.

The Wind Spirit Falcon was originally circling high in the sky, responsible for carrying out reconnaissance missions.

At that moment, it flapped its wings and accelerated to three times the speed of sound in a tenth of a second, transforming into a streak of blue light.

On the edge of the shattered continent, fifteen beast tamers are gathering, but it's unclear whether they're trying to escape or plan something big.

But that's no longer important.

Seeing the opportunity, the Wind Spirit Falcon swooped down, its target neither a person nor a pet.

It's... air!

As it plunged at high speed, its wings flapped violently, unleashing the domain of a hurricane.

But this hurricane will not spread; instead, it will be compressed into dozens of slender wind-blade drills, which will be precisely aimed at the pet beasts of the fifteen people.

"Puff puff puff puff—"

The wind-blade drill pierced the pet's body, causing no fatal injury, but precisely interrupting their skill.

The attack was indeed fierce.

Not only are they fierce, but their skill proficiency has also been greatly enhanced.

Moreover, it has been elevated to an exaggerated level.

Mingxi frowned; this was not right.

Even the Realm of Time doesn't have such an ability; Jin Yuanbao and the others need to systematically improve their skill proficiency.

Could this mechanical life form be even more powerful than the Time Realm?

That's definitely impossible.

"So it's not that skill proficiency has increased, but rather that it simulates the power exertion of a highly proficient skill."

"That's interesting."

Mingxi held a melon and ate it with relish, her interest in the mechanical life form growing even stronger.

At this moment, the pets screamed in agony at the same time.

It was the Wind Spirit Falcon that made its move again, targeting the Beast Tamers.

However, the Wind Falcon used Sonic Impact and its special property 【100x Power】, which is equivalent to 100 times the speed of sound, turning itself into the most terrifying weapon.

"Whoosh—Bang!"

The first beam of light pierced the chest of a beast tamer, who exploded into a bloody mist almost instantly.

"Whoosh—Bang!"

The second streak of light tore apart the wing of a Lightwing Sparrow that was blocking the Beastmaster's path. The Lightwing Sparrow cried out in pain and fell, severely injured, but at least it had protected its Beastmaster.

Other beast tamers, however, were not so lucky.

"Whoosh—Bang! Whoosh—Bang! Whoosh—Bang!"

Of the fifteen beast tamers, only nine remained intact, and their beasts were mostly injured.

This efficiency is something even a gold ingot would have to admit defeat to.

Mingxi also saw a familiar fear in the eyes of those beast tamers.

They lost both their wife and their army on this trip.

His father died and then his mother died.

The plan was to surround and kill Mingxi, the most powerful member of the alliance, but what happened?

Some died, some were injured, and some were reformed.

It was absolutely tragic.

The pet spaces left behind by the deceased beast tamers floated in the air.

The pets are trapped inside the space, waiting for the pet space to completely dissipate so they can return to being extraordinary beings without any contractual ties.

Of course, if the beast tamer dies, they will also suffer a backlash.

A decline in strength by one level is inevitable.

"Master, this is not right. Sonic Impact is just a high-level flying skill. Even if the proficiency reaches the level of a divine power, it is unlikely to have such heaven-defying destructive power, right?"

Even Guangguang's intelligent brain has a bug.

Mingxi naturally noticed this problem as well. "Try using your reward time to scan the Wind Spirit Falcon's energy core?"

"Yes, I'll give it a try."

The energy core is normally undetectable by any entity, as this involves the most fundamental and basic law of the entire civilization.

Even the Realm of Time cannot ignore this fundamental law.

So, we're just giving it a try.

Anyway, trying it will only waste a little reward time, and you won't die.

A minute later, with the help of the other pets of 'White Face', they had taken all fifteen beast tamers away.

Not a single person was left alive.

Guangguang's side has finally yielded results.

"Master, I understand! Although I can't perfectly analyze it, I understand!"

It extracts the talents, potential, and vitality of those pet beasts, forcibly pours them into the energy core, and then forcibly elevates their strength to the peak!

This mechanical life form completely disregarded the lives of its pets.

Mingxi wasn't surprised at all.

There are only a few possibilities for a pet's strength to suddenly increase.

Why would a mechanical life form whose purpose is unknown care about the lives of those extraordinary beings?

It only wanted to take the lives of everyone present.

"Those pets are just unlucky to have been saddled with a beast tamer like Bai Mian."

Sometimes, the death of a beast tamer is not terrible, at least they can still live, right? But like now, not only is their life not guaranteed, but their talent, potential and vitality are also being drained as nourishment.

Perhaps, even dying a good death has become a luxury.

That's really bad luck.

The seven pet beasts were still wreaking havoc.

The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Under the absolutely rational command of 'White Face', they executed a textbook-level teamwork.

Shadow Wolves are responsible for finishing off low-health targets and key objectives.

The Lava Bear is responsible for frontal advance and area suppression.

The Wind Falcon has gained air superiority and can disrupt all long-range threats.

Poison Ivy controls the ground, continuously weakening and reaping its rewards.

The Rock Armored Rhinoceros modifies the terrain, divides the battlefield, and restricts movement.

The Phantom Fox and the Light-Eating Jellyfish joined forces to suppress the mind and reverse energy.

Each pet's attack compensates for the weakness of the other.

Every skill release has undergone global optimization.

The priority of each objective is calculated in real time.

The surviving hundred-plus beast tamers, along with countless cannon fodder, were reduced to less than forty people within minutes.

Moreover, these forty men were not in good condition either; they were all injured, on the verge of mental collapse, and had lost all will to fight.

This was no longer just a battle between seven pet beasts; it was a near-perfect battle, so perfect that it was almost impossible to find a single flaw.

Or rather, there was no flaw to begin with.

Even Mingxi didn't think she could command Jin Yuanbao and the others to this extent.

Even if her brain development is high enough, it's still not possible.

Even the fastest human brain can sometimes not keep up with a computer's reaction speed. In addition, human language takes time to be transmitted, which is far less efficient than a computer issuing direct instructions.

Their command system is equivalent to the strongest bond between beast tamers and their pets.

They can achieve perfect understanding and ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) coordination.

It's quite tricky.

Because they've already set their sights on the gold ingots.

After all, with fewer people, fewer pets will also be added, naturally making the seven gold ingots stand out.

Moreover, even when they shrink in size, their presence remains strong.

This is the impression of the mechanical lifeforms when Mingxi wasn't wreaking havoc, and because of the sudden events and numerous unforeseen circumstances, the others didn't have time to pay attention to Mingxi at all.

That's how they've managed to 'disappear' until now.

"Master, since it can't find you, it will probably take care of the others first. Jin Yuanbao and the others will at most suffer some stray bullets."

That being said.

But, "Don't forget, I'm not the only living person here."

Things had escalated to such an absurd point that even the slowest reaction times among the others present had caught on by now.

"Bai Mian! Ming Xi! She is your real opponent! Her pet beasts are all fine!"

This means she is still alive and well; she has hidden herself and is waiting for the best hunting opportunity!

Look, that Thunder Demon, that Angel Dragon, and that...

They are all her pet animals!

They are very strong!

It's even stronger than the seven pet beasts you control!

As long as she lives, you will inevitably become hers!

See!

They're not the only ones with brains.

Humans are good at shifting blame!

This urgent and noisy exchange almost instantly stopped the 'white-faced' man from continuing, his compound eyes flashing like a disco ball in a bar.

It's unclear whether they're analyzing and judging, or searching for Mingxi's whereabouts.

"Yi Kong".

Your Majesty, it's alright. Just stay in your palace and don't come out. We can handle this.

Chi Yu's voice came through the king's bedchamber.

But Mingxi did not agree.

She hid to watch the show, but now that 'White Face' has noticed her, there's no point in hiding anymore.

As Mingxi stepped out of the 【King's Palace】, her dark eyes were like a lake in the morning or night, without ripples, only an endless depth and coldness.

'White Face's' gaze immediately fixed on Mingxi, who had been standing still the whole time, bypassing everyone else.

Data streams were frantically scrolling through his eyes.

There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Only data.

【Target recognition...】

【Energy reading abnormal...】

【Threat Level Assessment: Highest Priority】

【Recommendation: Concentrate all firepower and prioritize eliminating them】

A metallic scraping sound was squeezed out of Bai Mian's throat.

"Threat...threat! Threat!"

Mingxi: "..."

Got it, I'm a threat!

I'm such a fierce woman that even robots are afraid of me!

well!

When 'White Face' spoke, the seven pets that were still focused on carrying out the clearing command stopped at the same time and turned to face the direction where Mingxi was.

The shadowy wolf crouched low, its sharp claws digging at the ground.

The lava bear stands tall, its chest puffed out, as magma churns.

The Wind Spirit Falcon hovers, its wings gathering wind.

The Poison Ivy Demon gathered its vines, and a poisonous mist spread.

The rock-armored rhinoceros stomped the ground, and the rock armor clanged.

The nine tails of the Illusionary Fox stood upright, and spiritual ripples spread out.

The light-corroding jellyfish floats in the air, and the realm of light and darkness shrinks.

Seven pet beasts, positioned in seven directions, surrounded Mingxi and the seven that had already gathered around her in the center.

Black Pearl and Sparkling Crystal are still diligently collecting those pebbles.

It's clear that those pebbles are indeed valuable.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two to linger there, even foregoing the thrill of battle.

never mind.

This counts as an 8 vs 8 match.

That makes sense.

"Kill her! Kill her!"

The battle erupted the moment 'White Face' gave the order.

The first to move was the Wind Spirit Falcon.

With a flap of its wings, it will ascend to the highest altitude, preparing to use a dive to accelerate and combine with wind blades for ultra-long-range sniping.

This is its most effective tactic, which proved invincible in the recent massacre.

But this time, it had just risen to thirty meters— 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Akadama."

Mingxi only said two words.

Akagami, who had been standing quietly beside her, suddenly raised its right front paw and gently pressed down.

Gravity well activated.

Precise positioning.

The space with a radius of ten meters centered on the Wind Spirit Falcon suddenly collapsed.

The gravitational constant is forcibly distorted, forming an invisible gravitational trap.

"wind--?!"

The Wind Spirit Falcon was horrified to discover that it could no longer maintain its levitation.

No matter how wildly the wings flapped, the body was falling uncontrollably.

Even more terrifying is that all flying-type skills, such as Hurricane Field, High Speed ​​Movement, and Air Cutting, are rendered ineffective, as if they have been forcibly sealed by some kind of rule.

It crashed to the ground like a stone.

During the descent, Akagami's second skill also arrived.

Resonance at the same frequency.

The image of the Wind Spirit Falcon was reflected in Chi Yu's pupils. It emitted a low hum, adjusted its energy fluctuations, and instantly resonated with its target.

The wind-attribute energy within the Wind Spirit Falcon suddenly went out of control.

The energy channels broke apart inch by inch during the resonance, and even the energy core inside the chest cavity developed slight cracks. Even the tiny vortices at the base of the feathers began to explode in chaos.

"Bang!"

The Wind Spirit Falcon slammed heavily into the ground, its internal energy surging out of control and causing it to self-destruct.

Blue feathers mixed with blood, flesh, and energy fragments scattered everywhere.

Sold out instantly!

This is also a weakness shared by all seven pet beasts.

Their strength is largely based on 'White Face's' command. As long as the pet beast is killed before 'White Face's' commands take effect, there is no possibility that they will suddenly become powerful.

Moreover, after the fierce battle just now, their energy has been almost completely depleted.

After all, talent, potential, and vitality cannot be inexhaustible!

They are practically empty shells that have been drained.
