Chapter 17: I’m strong, very strong!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On Loess Street, there was a colorful light screen.
Under the light screen, dozens of Beastmasters were constantly mobilizing their Pet Beasts to release defensive skills.
Meanwhile, the other offensive Pet Beasts were quietly waiting at the side, not slacking off in the slightest.
They were ready to kill any insects that managed to break through the weak points of the defensive barrier at any time.
However, even with everyone cooperating with all their might, this light screen looked like it was in imminent danger as if it would shatter in the next second.
“Oh no, the defensive barrier at 12 o’clock can’t hold on much longer. There’s already a hole!”
As soon as one of the men finished speaking, the uncle immediately mobilized the Viridescent Snake to attack the swarm of insects.
However, very soon...
Before he could let out a sigh of relief, another hole was also opened in another part of the defensive barrier.
Many more insects drilled in.
The crowd was in a flurry again before they managed to eliminate these hateful insects.
The defensive barrier seemed very intimidating, but in reality, the defensive barrier was already on the verge of collapse.
It simply could not hold on for long and would collapse.
The uncle saw the dangerous situation clearly at a glance.
There were many Pet Beasts that were not weak under the defensive barrier.
However, these pets either could not attack the Poisonous Wasps, or their attacks would not have much effect on the Poisonous Wasps.
This temporary team was not the solution to the current situation.
They could only wait for the actual army to solve the problem.
However, the problem was that the actual army did not appear.
“This damn Loess Town’s Military Police Department! Hasn’t anyone gotten the news after so long?”
The uncle cursed in a low voice.
Previously, when he was not even forty years old, he took the initiative to retire.
It was because he did not fit in with that group of lazy and greedy Military Police Officers.
This group of Military Police Officers were mostly lazy and loafing around all day.
If it were not for the Freedom legions expanding to the territory that was occupied by Fierce Beasts, The Human Federation would have long since been broken up by the Fierce Beasts.
By this time, the defensive barrier was becoming more and more unstable.
Looking at the defensive barrier, which was as thin as paper, Cook was so frightened that his face turned white and he fell to the ground.
“No, we’re going to die...”
“So many bugs... I’m... I’m really going to die here...”
“Aren’t you a Beastmaster? Why did you fall on the battlefield?”
“I... I just became a Beastmaster today,” Cook said weakly.
Looking at Cook’s performance, the uncle shook his head.
Humans were still living too comfortably.
They did not even have the courage to look directly at Fierce Beasts. What qualifications did they have to become a Beastmaster who guarded mankind?
Was the hope of mankind’s civilization only in the hands of these people?
At this moment, a mellow voice sounded.
“Excuse me, let me pass.”
After that, Mike walked over from behind, directly walking in front of everyone.
“Little friend, it’s very dangerous here. Quickly leave this place,” a pale-faced middle-aged woman said to Mike.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already become a Beastmaster. I’m strong, very strong,” Mike said with a faint smile, “Let me fight on the battlefield and do my best for everyone.”
Following that, a faint scarlet light appeared between Mike’s brows.
However, under the multicolored light screen, the light on his forehead was not obvious.
“Haha, young man, You’re so young and already so energetic. I have high hopes for you.”
“Yeah, it would be great if that useless son of mine was as brave as you.”
“If all young people were like you and were so responsible, then mankind would definitely be able to rise in this world.”
“It’s great to be young. I can see my past self in you. I was also as handsome as you are now.”
...
Everyone started to praise Mike.
The uncle naturally heard everyone’s conversation.
This scene instantly pulled the uncle back to reality.
“You are...”
The uncle widened his eyes and saw that Mike’s school uniform was the same as Cook’s.
His stunned gaze instantly turned into rage.
Another brat who had just become a Beastmaster had come.
Moreover, he was even more outrageous. Not only did he walk so far ahead, he even said he was very strong?
‘Wasn’t he looking for death?!’
‘He’s simply fooling around!’
“Stop him quickly! This kid is only a student who just became a Beastmaster. Stop him quickly, don’t let him get hurt,” the uncle immediately shouted at the people around him.
As soon as the uncle said this, the people who had released their defensive skills were stunned, and then the entire crowd burst into an uproar.
“Damn, this kid only knows how to cause trouble!”
“Looking at his face, he’s probably one of those newbies who hasn’t even released their Battle Pets yet.”
“Exactly. After listening to him, I just stopped my defensive skills to replenish some mana. Isn’t he just fooling around?”
“Sigh, it’s really troublesome. It’s already not easy to defend against Fierce Beasts. This time, I still have to protect him. Isn’t this just to be a burden?”
“If you had told me earlier, I would have been able to escape.”
“That’s right. Once the magic ends, this defensive barrier will collapse immediately. At that time, everyone will die!”
‘It’s over!’
The uncle thought to himself. This situation was not good.
At this moment, Mike had already completely left the temporary shelter built by the defensive barrier.
It could be imagined that in the next second, the Poisonous Wasps would swarm over and attack Mike until his body was completely destroyed.
