Although Su Yan was puzzled, she did not question Xu Yi.

She wore the night vision device, so she could see a small Fierce Beast suddenly sprinting towards them.

Its speed was too fast, leaving only a trail of shadows.

Su Yan clearly felt it swipe her leg, and then it vanished.

Then, it dashed past her.

Fortunately, Su Yan was not injured; her pants were just sliced open slightly.

She was wearing protective clothing underneath, completely unafraid of the enemy’s attacks.

Only now did she understand why Xu Yi had arranged for her and Cheng Jie to take turns on night watch. The Fierce Beast’s attacks couldn’t penetrate her protective clothing.

Xu Yi did not attack immediately because he was searching for an opportunity.

Luckily, the Fierce Beast Black Mink did not attack Xu Yi. He thought it must be able to discern who was stronger or weaker, and that’s why it would only attack Su Yan, aiming to deal with her first.

Binding!

Xu Yi seized an opportunity and used a binding skill on the Fierce Beast Black Mink.

Then, the Fierce Beast Black Mink rolled off to the side.

Delay!

Xu Yi continued using a delay skill and pulled out his machete.

Without hesitation, Xu Yi swung at one of the Fierce Beast Black Mink’s legs.

If he could incapacitate one of its legs, its threat would greatly diminish.

Xu Yi swung five times but still couldn’t break through its defense.

It appeared very frightened; its speed had always been unmatched. No Fierce Beast could catch up with it, let alone capture it.

Now, it found itself unable to move.

The fear of death completely enveloped it.

Bind! Delay!

Xu Yi repeatedly used two skills and continued to swing his blade.

On the ninth strike, one of the Fierce Beast Black Mink’s legs was cut off by Xu Yi.

The Fierce Beast Black Mink let out continuous screams, wanting to escape, but found it couldn’t move.

Su Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Earlier, she did not realize how powerful the Fierce Beast Black Mink was until facing it; then she understood why Xu Yi was injured and at a loss.

If it wasn’t for her protective clothing, she would have likely been killed by the Fierce Beast Black Mink.

At the same time, she understood why Xu Yi didn’t use the level 3 brain crystal. Using it might have been wasteful since it couldn’t harm the Bear Beast Black Mink.

Once the telekinesis from a brain crystal is activated, it can only be used for one or two minutes.

This means that if you can’t solve your target in one or two minutes, the brain crystal becomes ineffective.

Xu Yi did not stop and continued wielding the knife, targeting the Black Mink’s other leg.

This time, it only took 6 strikes to cut off its other front leg.

With both legs lost, the Fierce Beast Black Mink was completely harmless.

Xu Yi took out a rope and tied it up.

After dismembering its legs, Xu Yi changed his mind and decided not to kill it for now, but to study it first. After all, such opportunities and conditions are rare.

Su Yan saw Xu Yi tying up the Fierce Beast Black Mink’s legs and knew that he didn’t intend to kill it.

Then, Xu Yi took out his spear, stuck it into the ground, and tethered the rope to the spear.

Even so, the Black Qilins still hesitated to come near.

In terms of courage, they indeed fell short of Lightning.

Lightning knew it was hopeless yet rushed in and blocked.

As for the Black Qilins, they just laid on the ground trembling.

Xu Yi did not blame them, knowing that these mounts could only be used for a hundred days. Afterward, they had to go to a new place, and it was impossible to take them along.

Xu Yi didn’t have high expectations or demands.

From another perspective, they were merely level 2 Fierce Beasts, and their fear of level 3 Fierce Beasts was a natural instinct. Taming them didn’t mean altering their instincts.

The battle wasn’t very noisy, and since it was deep in the night, nobody else was awakened.

"Xu Yi, this protective clothing is really powerful; not a single scratch." Su Yan said as she rolled down her pant leg.

"Yes, without this protective clothing, I would have no chance against that Fierce Beast." Xu Yi said, glancing at the Fierce Beast Black Mink, and gathered some wood around it.

He wanted to know if flames could kill it.

If possible, they would have a way to deal with level 3 Fierce Beasts.

Su Yan naturally understood Xu Yi’s intention, so she helped out.

Soon, the fire ignited.

Then, Xu Yi and Su Yan found the flames couldn’t harm the Fierce Beast Black Mink.

Even with an hour of burning, the Fierce Beast Black Mink wasn’t burned or scalded.

It had telekinesis to shield itself from the fire.

With daylight approaching, Xu Yi clocked in for the day.

It was the 142nd day of checking in; afterward, Xu Yi returned to the tent.

In the tent, Lu Ke was already up, practicing the Body Refining Technique.

Xu Yi returned to practice the Body Refining Technique too; although it’s ineffective for enhancing spiritual power, it boosts physical strength, which is very useful.

A strong enough body can withstand immense damage.

The others got up one after another and were surprised to see the Fierce Beast Black Mink.

"Su Yan, is this a level 3 Fierce Beast?" Qin Fan came over to ask, thinking that if it was level 2, Xu Yi and Su Yan shouldn’t have severed its legs and tied it up.

"Yes, a very powerful level 3 Fierce Beast." Su Yan nodded and glanced at the direction of the tent.

"Isn’t fire enough to kill it?" Lu Yao asked curiously, noticing the wood around the Fierce Beast Black Mink hadn’t completely extinguished.

"Yes, it’s been burning for more than an hour, and it’s unaffected." Su Yan said helplessly, initially thinking maybe it wouldn’t die, but could at least be hurt.

But it wasn’t affected at all.

"Did Xu Yi and you get hurt?" Wang Jin asked with concern, knowing Xu Yi had been severely injured by a level 3 Fierce Beast yesterday.

"No, it couldn’t penetrate my protective clothing." Su Yan replied with a smile.

"The protective clothing is that powerful, no wonder Xu Yi wanted you and Cheng Jie on separate night watch—clearly as a defense." Wang Jin said, glancing towards the tent.

Then, everyone shifted focus to the Fierce Beast Black Mink.

Fire can’t kill it; is it that strong?

In front of it, humans seem as fragile as paper.

If it weren’t for Xu Yi and Su Yan’s protective clothing, they might have been wiped out.

Next, they attempted a full-on attack.

They found their fierce attacks couldn’t even touch the Fierce Beast Black Mink; it was completely unaffected, despite Qin Fan and others striking furiously.

Even as Qin Fan and the others exhausted their telekinesis, they still couldn’t breach the Fierce Beast Black Mink’s defense.
