STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 220: Re-encountering danger

Forbidden Area:

Jeremy quickly circulated the starlight energy and imbued it into the katana blade. Under the dark night, his blade shone with white light.

Swoosh!

He started moving away from the rundown building in order to lure the black centipede away.

Click-clack!

The Tier-3 Black Centipede spotted its prey. It immediately turned its massive body and started bolting toward the prey.

In the blink of an eye, it reached the prey and then tried to kill it by moving its hind legs.

However, Jeremy Night had already reached the safe spot for the duel. He swung his katana around to block the attack.

Pfff!

The starlight-filled katana cut into the hind legs of the centipede beast. In the next second, a torrent of blood gushed out.

Using this opportunity, he leaped forward to strike the head.

Swoosh!

The beast darted away in pain. Jeremy, who was about to attack, was left speechless. He didn't expect the beast to flee at the last moment.

During this night, he couldn't afford to give it a chance, so he obediently returned to the small room to resume practice.

Shortly afterward,

He returned and resumed practicing the Inner Healing Method. Pure natural energy entered his body.

At the same time, he noticed that the unknown beast egg was absorbing the natural energy as well. He had just been through a fight, but the unknown beast showed no reaction.

It simply focused on sucking the pure natural energy from the surroundings, so he removed those thoughts and concentrated on his practice.

The following day,

Jeremy stopped his practice and opened his eyes. He felt that his veins were under stress. He had been practicing non-stop and didn't know how his lifeline beast managed it.

But he was mentally exhausted. He decided to go outside to catch a breath of fresh air. After stepping outside, Jeremy looked around.

Though he appreciated the view, he still held the katana tightly in his hand. His power was Rank-6 Mid-Stage. Before leaving, he wanted to reach Rank-7.

Only by taking this type of risk could he keep pace with S-Grade Talents. Suddenly, the faces of senior students came to mind.

His expression turned ugly. Even if he wanted to forget, their ugly faces kept coming back to him. He was facing such situations despite having a good background.

More importantly, it was actually happening in their Zone 14. If he moved to other zones, his background would be considered worse.

But it didn't change the fact that Zone 14 lacked resources. The better the zones, the more abundant the resources.

Not only did he want resources for himself, but also for his lifeline beast. If he were in the top 10 zones, the unknown beast egg would have already hatched.

Sigh!

He let out a sigh and spent a few more minutes outside before going back to practice.

Time passed,

Evening came. Jeremy felt changes in his mental zone again. One more sub-block of Rank 6 became active in the Tier-1 Concentric Circle.

Jeremy felt changes in his body as it greedily absorbed more and more pure natural energy from the outside.

At the same time, he was receiving feedback from the unknown beast egg as well. These two processes were helping him evolve faster.

Click!

At one point, the evolution came to a stop. His Rank had reached the Peak Stage. He was now a Tier-1, Rank 6 Peak Stage Beast Tamer.

Jeremy's mouth curved into an arc. Just one more step, and he would reach Rank 7. Once he became Rank 7, he could return to the City.

He then closed his eyes and resumed the running of the Inner Healing Method to stabilize his new rank.

Yet, the phenomenon outside attracted the attention of the corrupted beasts. The corrupted beasts sensed a large amount of energy concentrated in one spot.

It immediately made them move toward the location.

About 30 minutes later,

Different kinds of beasts surrounded the office building. The gadgets that were installed to alert Jeremy were buzzing non-stop.

Jeremy opened his eyes. He felt he was stronger than before. It was as if he had experienced a small increase in rank. But this small evolution had strengthened his body.

His eyesight became sharper, and his hearing and other senses were enhanced as well. Jeremy sensed that there were beasts gathered outside.

If he went outside now, he would be besieged by the corrupted beasts. So he stopped practicing and waited for the phenomenon in the sky to disappear.

Once it disappeared, the beast-repellent odor would do the job. He then began to wait.

An hour later,

The corrupted beasts left one after another. The beast-repellent odor kept them from acting. Now the odor had become unbearable for the beasts.

They started leaving immediately. Jeremy could see that and sighed in relief. He had been worried that his night practice time would be wasted.

Soon, all the corrupted beasts vacated the area.

He closed his eyes and started running the Inner Healing Method. His veins had relaxed during this hour.

Time passed,

Midnight came, and the Black Centipede Beast that had been injured last time returned for revenge. This time it was not alone.

More than 20 Black Centipedes had come, and among them was one that was dangerous, pitch black in color. It was a Tier-4 Centipede, over 40 feet in length.

The injured Tier-3 Centipede was leading the pack toward the prey, while the rest followed the Tier-4 Beast.

The aura of the Tier-4 Beast caused other nearby beasts to flee from the area. Especially during this nighttime, many corrupted beasts had come outside to find food.

The Tier-4 Corrupted Beast made them change direction.

Swoosh!

Soon, the injured Centipede Beast reached the office building. It sent a message to the Tier-4 Centipede beast.

Obviously, the beast-repellent odor was unbearable, but the Tier-4 Centipede Beast darted out to attack.

Its humongous body flew over the office room before striking it.

Boom!

Jeremy Night, who was inside the room, felt a sense of crisis. He immediately bolted out of the window.

In the next second, he saw the building collapse in front of him. A massive centipede body lay on it.

Seeing that, his expression changed drastically. The sense of crisis was proof that it posed a threat to him.

Jeremy's katana was in his hand. He looked at the Centipede Beast to judge its strength. From its length and size, he suspected it was a Tier-4 Corrupted Beast.

Click-clack!

The next second, he saw one centipede beast after another crawl toward the area. He felt goosebumps all over his body.

Jeremy Night was not without tricks. He had a trump card—the poison. However, he thought it would be a waste to use it now.

His shelter was destroyed, and there was no point in fighting against the Tier-4 Beast and putting himself at risk.

He also sensed a Tier-3 aura among the Centipede Beasts, so he knew it was suicidal to continue to stay there.

Swoosh!

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

He swiftly left the place. The beast-repellent odor had protected him just now. The Tier-4 Beast had attacked without thinking.

Seeing that there was no prey inside, it was confused for a few seconds. Then it saw the prey slipping away.

Swoosh!

In the next second, the Tier-4 Centipede Beast darted out to give chase, its numerous legs moving faster.

Jeremy Night felt the sense of crisis from behind.

He understood that the Tier-4 Beast was following him. Without thinking further, he fled toward the exit.

"Explosive Steps!"

When the sense of crisis tightened his heart, he used the explosive steps to increase his speed.

Despite that, the gap was closing. The Tier-4 Beast was already a stronger creature, and its natural strength was speed. So it quickly caught up.

After a few seconds, he felt the same threat again. Jeremy had gotten closer to the exit as well, so he decided to act right now.

He turned around and executed the "Rapid Trip Cut."

Swoosh!

His body moved at a rapid pace before striking the Tier-4 Beast's body with his starlight-filled katana three times.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A metallic noise erupted as the blade left only a small dent on its back.

Swoosh!

Jeremy didn't dare waste any time before fleeing. He considered how to use the poison; only the poison could kill this Tier-4 Beast.

The small increase in strength today felt insignificant now. Jeremy knew that if it were another Tier-4 Beast in the wilderness, his sword strike would have harmed it.

Click-clack!

The Tier-4 Black Centipede was enraged. A massive power erupted from its body.

Swoosh!

In the next second, it charged toward the prey. In the blink of an eye, it caught up to him, and then its huge hind legs struck him.

Jeremy, sensing the crisis, felt his face change drastically. This time, the beast's speed was so quick; it caught him off guard.

Boom!

He turns around to block the attack with the katana blade.
