Chapter 1248: Chapter 1247: Four-Star Exotic Beast

Then, a few people headed in the direction of the sounds of battle, and after turning a corner, they finally saw four people ahead.

At this moment, the four people were attacking a big rabbit. The reason why it was called a big rabbit was mainly because this exotic beast looked very much like a rabbit, but its size was dozens of times larger than a normal rabbit.

"Horned Rabbit, it’s actually a Horned Rabbit! These guys are really unlucky; to encounter a Horned Rabbit as soon as they entered." Wang Junyi said in a low voice.

"What’s wrong, is this creature very powerful?" Su Changfeng asked curiously.

"Horned Rabbits belong to the Four-star Beasts.They are considered quite powerful exotic beasts within the Inner Circle of the Yuanqi Mountain Range. Among beasts of the same rank, Horned Rabbits are indeed more difficult to deal with. These creatures have a flexible physique and incredibly fast speed, generally making them hard to handle. Xingluo has specifically raised a squad of Horned Rabbits, mainly for surprise attacks." Wang Junyi explained.

Su Changfeng nodded thoughtfully, realizing that’s how it is. Since Xingluo had even established such a squad, these exotic beasts must not be simple. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The people entangled in combat with the Horned Rabbit were clearly struggling. After several attacks, they hadn’t injured the Horned Rabbit at all. Instead, they were gradually showing signs of defeat.

At this moment, Su Changfeng suddenly looked at Wang Junyi and asked, "Aren’t you planning to go over and help?"

Though it sounded like a question, coming from Su Changfeng, Wang Junyi instantly understood what he meant. It seemed that his master intended for him to take action!

A Four-star Beast accompanied by a few helpers, Wang Junyi felt confident, so he proceeded over.

Shen Rushuang was a bit surprised. She really didn’t think Wang Junyi would be so kind. But if he was genuinely vying for the Horned Rabbit, the best timing was definitely not now.

If it were her, she would definitely choose to strike hard when both sides were mutually exhausted.

"Foolish, what’s the point of stepping in now?" Seeing Wang Junyi heading out, Shen Rushuang sneered disdainfully.

As Wang Junyi approached, the people opposite immediately watched him warily. At such a critical moment, they naturally didn’t want outsiders interfering.

"Who are you?"

"We found this Horned Rabbit first. Are you planning to intervene?"

"Yeah, hurry up and get lost!"

Everyone looked at Wang Junyi with a face full of caution, fearing he would really interfere.

"Don’t worry, I don’t have any intention of competing with you, but just with a few people like you, odds are, you won’t be able to handle this Horned Rabbit. If I join to help, things should improve a lot." Wang Junyi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the group didn’t relax one bit. After all, this exotic beast was something everyone wanted; how could anyone be kind enough to help for free? If someone could tame the Horned Rabbit, they could directly join the Horned Rabbit squad. Who could resist such temptation?

"Who exactly are you? What’s your rank now?" one person asked Wang Junyi.

"I am Wang Junyi, son of the City Lord of Tianshui City, Fourth Rank." Wang Junyi replied with a smile, his words carrying a hint of pride.

If it were before, he surely wouldn’t have the confidence to say such things, but now that he’s a fourth-rank expert, things are different.

"Wang Junyi? The one who rose two ranks overnight!"

They exchanged glances, seeing deep shock on each other’s faces. Clearly, these people had heard of Wang Junyi’s feat of rising two ranks.

Wang Junyi smiled proudly, saying, "I assume you guys aren’t from Tianshui City? Seems my news has reached your place too."

"Rising two ranks overnight, everyone says you have expert guidance. Is it true? How come we didn’t know? When did Tianshui City have such a figure?" another person asked urgently, seemingly more interested in this than the Horned Rabbit.

It’s quite understandable, because the benefits of strengthening one’s own skills far outweigh those from obtaining exotic beasts.

Wang Junyi listened and just smiled, not saying anything.

If everyone knew about Su Changfeng’s strength, people from nearby cities would come seeking mentorship. At that moment, he wouldn’t be his master’s only apprentice.

"Enough of the idle talk, let’s deal with this Horned Rabbit quickly." Wang Junyi said.

They charged forward and enclosed the Horned Rabbit.

With Wang Junyi’s fourth-rank prowess added, the situation instantly turned around. Under the encirclement, even if the Horned Rabbit was agile, it had no way to counter it.

Soon, the Horned Rabbit was hit in several spots, and its speed slowed down.

"Alright, that’s about enough. I won’t be participating further." Seeing that the Horned Rabbit had mostly lost its combat ability, Wang Junyi knew when to stop and briskly withdrew from the encirclement.

These people obviously didn’t expect Wang Junyi would really leave so abruptly, genuinely showing no intention of competing with them, causing them to slightly relax.

Wang Junyi smiled at Su Changfeng, his brows showing some pride, seemingly waiting for Su Changfeng to praise him.

Su Changfeng’s mouth twitched and rolled his eyes at him, his gaze returning to the encircled Horned Rabbit.

When the Horned Rabbit had completely lost its ability to resist, Su Changfeng noticed the group whispered a bit among themselves. Then one person came over and made some gestures towards the Horned Rabbit, causing it to suddenly become obedient.

"What gestures did he make? It seems like the Horned Rabbit became suddenly obedient?" Upholding the fine tradition of asking when in doubt, Su Changfeng asked.

Wang Junyi was about to explain when Shen Rushuang beat him to it.

"That’s a seal. It allows the master to easily decide the life and death of the exotic beast. The Horned Rabbit knows its life hangs in balance, so it naturally becomes subservient." Shen Rushuang said flatly.

"So that’s how it is! But this isn’t really taming, it’s more like a threat." Su Changfeng replied.

Shen Rushuang glanced at Su Changfeng disdainfully at his words, "Why bother? It’s just a beast, do you really need to reason with them?"

As Shen Rushuang spoke, Su Changfeng clearly felt the Little White Snake on his arm becoming restless, seeming quite disagreeable to Shen Rushuang’s words.

Su Changfeng gently patted his arm, signaling the little creature not to get upset, thinking it wasn’t worth arguing with this woman.

"Shen Rushuang, from your words, it seems you don’t think much of these exotic beasts. So why do you still use them to elevate your status? What you’re doing is truly laughable." Su Changfeng chuckled softly.

Shen Rushuang’s expression slightly changed. "What do you mean? I am human, they are just beasts. Is there a need for comparison?"

"But to Xingluo, exotic beasts are far more important than humans, right? Xingluo values beast tamers, and you know why. Don’t tell me you don’t know." Su Changfeng retorted disdainfully.
