STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Chapter 933: Sleepless night

4th Zone - Special Base

The families in the 4th Zone received a call from the special base. The victims’ families were grieving. They were angry as well.

They were sure that their children had the strength to escape from the higher-tier beasts. If it was higher-tier beasts, then the base should prepare someone to collect the remains.

It had been days, but the remains were not found. But the special base allowed them to enter the wilderness to find the truth.

The team sent by them would investigate the matter. If any higher-tier beast was responsible for their deaths, then they could seek revenge with their resources.

The family heads of the families agreed to send a team. They wanted to get some closure. Not only that, they wanted to know privately whether anyone had conflicts with them.

If it was the work of the Beast Tamer from the base, then they would definitely seek revenge. They would not let go of the matter.

...

Wilderness

Jeremy Night entered the wilderness after selecting the mission. As usual, he waited for one or two hours to see whether anyone was following him.

But nothing like that happened. He was surprised. He had thought the mastermind would be sending a powerful team again. But it didn’t happen.

He didn’t know the reason, but it was good news for him. He then turned around and resumed his journey.

He was using his eye power to look for the beasts. This time, he was actively looking for a higher-tier beast. He wanted to find a Tier-6 beast soon.

Then he would go for the mission. After spending some time exploring, he changed his mind and followed the mission route to find the Tier-5 Mountain Wolf.

As the name suggests, this particular wolf species lives near the mountains. This wolf was different from other wolves.

That’s why its name was on the mission list. Jeremy Night was not interested in knowing the reason. All he wanted was to fight right now.

It didn’t take long for him to encounter a Tier-6 Beast. It was a Tier-6 Centipede. He didn’t expect to come across a poisonous, higher-tier beast.

It was risky to engage in close combat against the beast. The size of the centipede was over 5 meters, and its body length seemed to be over 40 feet.

If it had been earlier, he would have been afraid. The body of the beast was enough to crush him. But he was different right now.

At the same time, the Tier-6 Centipede saw the human target as well. It immediately sensed that the human target was weak and was not a threat.

Boom!

The centipede initiated the attack. Its thousands of legs moved faster.

"Explosive Steps"

Jeremy Night felt something wrong and used the movement method right away. He avoided the frontal attack.

The massive head missed him narrowly.

Jeremy was close to the side of its body. He immediately used his close combat technique.

Smash!

He punched forward. His fist was covered in strong vibrations. His second eye power spotted the weakness.

Boom!

The punch connected with the scales. The next second, the vibration force transferred to the hard scales. The hard scales cracked under the force, revealing the flesh inside.

Pfff!

The vibration force injured the flesh, and blood started flowing out. But the vibration was not strong enough to completely penetrate the body.

Screech!

The centipede screamed in pain. He decisively withdrew his hand before unsheathing his blade.

He covered the blade’s edge in starlight thread.

Slice!

The next second, the blade in his hand danced before striking at the side of the body. The blade split open the scales.

The starlight blade next swept across the skin and flesh. The blade penetrated deeper, injuring internal organs.

Puchak!

A torrent of blood gushed forth from the wound. The beast made another cry. It moved its body all of a sudden. This time, it didn’t give him a chance to attack.

Swoosh!

The Tier-6 Centipede fled from the place. It disappeared into the woods. A low chuckle escaped from his mouth.

Jeremy then sheathed his blade before resuming his journey. On the way, he analyzed his close combat technique. The punch was powerful. But it was not as powerful as the starlight power.

Maybe he was making the wrong comparison. The punch was powerful. If the vibration attack had landed on a Tier-5 beast, then the injury would have been severe.

The Tier-6 higher-tier beast had a stronger body. Maybe it withstood the attack. He slowly figured it out.

He should not expect all techniques to be overbearing. Maybe the Tier-8 Predecessor had the same attack output when he was starting.

If he could master the increase in power and frequency, maybe he could do more damage. Jeremy had some clarity.

Time passed.

That night, he carved out a hole in a big shade tree and hid inside. He waited for the nighttime to pass. But the nighttime was not that quiet.

He could hear and sense the movement of the beasts. He was located quite deep, so the increase in beast activity was normal.

He tried to sleep, but it was not happening. The beast movements kept him awake.

Not long after, he had a sense of crisis. He felt his hiding spot was exposed. The next second, he exited from the tree hole without a thought.

Boom!

His gaze spotted a night bat beast. He immediately moved away from its path. The night bat next collided into the tree hole.

Jeremy jumped off the branch and landed on the ground. He unsheathed his blade and gripped the handle tightly.

Screech!

The night bat beast went inside the tree hole, but it never came back outside. Jeremy Night continued to wait, but he was disappointed.

The night bat beast didn’t leave. It made the tree hole its home. He then used his second eye power to look around.

He found many beasts roaming the place not far away. He was staying right in the middle of them. He then collected his thoughts and went to the next tree.

He stood under the tree and continued to watch over his surroundings.
