An hour has passed, and Xu Yi still hasn’t succeeded in taming this Fierce Beast.

It’s still lying beside Xu Yi and hasn’t recovered, looking very weak.

Lu Ke brought a bowl of meat soup and a large piece of Killing Melon and walked up to Xu Yi.

Lu Ke gently called, "Xu Yi, time to eat."

"Mm." Xu Yi nodded and then accepted the dinner Lu Ke handed over.

Lu Ke glanced at the extremely weak Fierce Beast on the ground and curiously asked, "Did you tame it?"

Xu Yi shook his head and said, "No, the success rate isn’t very high; you have to keep trying."

Lu Ke looked at Xu Yi and then asked, "Compared to 2nd-level Fierce Beasts, 3rd-level ones are much stronger. When we reach level 4, can we still kill them?"

Xu Yi took a bite of the Killing Melon and laughed, "We definitely can, don’t worry, I’ve got this. If we can’t handle 4th-level Fierce Beasts at level 4, we’ll definitely be able to easily handle them at level 5."

Lu Ke nodded, feeling that Xu Yi was right. Even if a level 5 mage can’t handle a level 5 Fierce Beast, handling a level 4 one should be more manageable, right?

Thinking this way made her feel much more acceptable.

After dinner, Xu Yi continued trying to tame the Fierce Beast.

It wasn’t until after 11 p.m. that Xu Yi managed to tame it.

After taming, Xu Yi had no plans to use it.

The Fierce Beast was too injured, surviving was a miracle in itself.

We really can’t use another vial of body repair potion, can we?

Xu Yi only had two vials left and didn’t want to use them lightly.

Without the body repair potion, this Fierce Beast would take at least a dozen days to fully recover. The time was too long, and Xu Yi didn’t want to wait.

So, once the Fierce Beast’s telekinesis is mostly recovered, Xu Yi plans to kill it.

The meat can be eaten, and the Brain Crystal can be used.

After taming, Xu Yi could return to the tent to train.

When Lu Ke saw Xu Yi come in, she immediately asked happily, "Xu Yi, did you tame it?"

"Mm." Xu Yi nodded and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Anyway, the bed is wide enough to not feel cramped even if four people lay on it. Xu Yi sitting cross-legged didn’t take up much space and didn’t interfere with Lu Ke’s sleep.

Lu Ke nodded in reassurance and then lay down.

She had trained for a long time today and wanted to rest early so she could train again first thing in the morning.

However, upon laying down, she couldn’t fall asleep because she was too alert.

She knew it must be because she had eaten too many of those little red berries.

So she simply got up and started practicing Body Refining Technique.

She practiced until around three before sleeping.

Other people had similar experiences to Lu Ke; they only fell asleep around three or four o’clock.

Xu Yi naturally knew about this, so he planned to let them sleep enough before moving deeper into the jungle tomorrow.

When daylight came, everyone was still in their dreams.

"System, punch in."

Today marked the 151st day of punching in.

After completing the punch-in, Xu Yi walked out of the tent.

Xu Yi looked at the level 3 Fierce Beast. It still wasn’t dead, but remained incredibly weak, lacking the strength to stand up.

By evening, its telekinesis should have recovered enough to be killed.

Xu Yi boiled some water, ate a little, and then wandered around near the camp to see if there were any valuable plants.

"Group 018, xx dead, xx dead."

"Group 001..."

Xu Yi received dozens of consecutive notifications.

He tallied it up; a total of 9 eliminators and 6 challengers had died.

had given up.

The loss of 32 people at once was absolutely a massive blow to those 3 camps.

This was the first time so many deaths and eliminations happened simultaneously.

Now, there were only about twenty eliminators left.

A few kilometers from Xu Yi’s camp, chaos reigned.

The corpses of two level 3 Fierce Beasts lay there, and Li Kang, Jerry, Ivica, and Lei Jie all wore extremely solemn expressions.

This was their first encounter with level 3 Fierce Beasts, and it ended horribly.

More than a hundred people took some damage.

Moreover, several were severely injured, unsure if they could pull through.

"Retreat, we need to retreat immediately, Camp Leader, level 3 Fierce Beasts are too strong for us. Staying further we risk total annihilation."

"Yes, Camp Leader Ivica, we need to retreat quickly, we can come back when we become level 3 mages."

"How do we fight? We instantly lost 32 people. If Li Kang, the Camp Leader, didn’t have a level 3 Brain Crystal, even more would have died."

Li Kang furrowed his brow and walked up to the corpses of the two Fierce Beasts to excavate the Brain Crystals.

The Brain Crystals had become almost transparent, showing their telekinesis was depleted and held no value.

"Retreat 20 kilometers," Li Kang said helplessly.

If they don’t retreat, they might really face annihilation.

He no longer had any level 3 Brain Crystals left.

Only now did he truly understand the power of level 3 Fierce Beasts and realize how naïve his previous ideas were. He thought defeating the Fierce Beast Black Mink would mean dealing with level 3 Fierce Beasts was feasible.

The speed of level 3 Fierce Beasts was much faster than level 2 ones; they could nimbly avoid many attacks.

Thankfully, they had numbers; if there had been only forty to fifty people, they would have been wiped out instantly.

With three hundred people attacking from all angles, they couldn’t take down a level 3 beast quickly. With fewer people, there would be no hope.

Moreover, besides being fast, level 3 Fierce Beasts had strong defenses.

Their Scale Armor, even without telekinesis, had decent defense that wasn’t easily breached by Flying Arrows.

He truly didn’t understand why Xu Yi could handle it but they couldn’t.

While dealing with that Fierce Beast Black Mink, Xu Yi must have been a level 2 Divine Master.

Is a Divine Master really so much stronger than a mage?

Despite the deep dissatisfaction in his heart,

Li Kang had no choice but to order a retreat.

Unless he was willing to sacrifice everyone to close the gap between his team and Xu Yi’s.

But he knew very well that even if he were willing, others wouldn’t agree to die for him.

Their lives were valuable, why would others’ lives not be?

Unless they were brainwashed from an early age, no one would willingly die for him.

Both Ivica and Jerry were reluctant to retreat but understood it was necessary.

Especially Ivica, whose losses this time were the most serious; her team lost 12 members and forced the elimination of 8 more.

Suddenly, her team shrank from 196 to 176 people.

Jerry’s team was the least impacted, eliminating just 1 person; 94 remained. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Li Kang’s team lost 3 people and eliminated 8, leaving only 170 members.
