Chapter 572: Chapter 410: Is This How You Use the Beast Taming Ring?
Wu Yue’s face turned green.
Just as she expected, the next moment, the Beast Taming Ring transformed into a white halo and settled around the little beast’s neck.
The little beast had a dazed expression on its face. It looked down at its own snowy white fur and could faintly see a stream of energy slowly seeping into its body from its neck.
The comfortable sensation made it feel an otherworldly bliss.
Even the giant beast behind it, which had been about to attack, froze for a second. Then, it let out a threatening growl and swiped its massive paw toward the little beast.
Wu Yue, her face a sickly green, felt a pang of bitterness. ’Other people’s pets were one more badass than the next, so why were hers all so miniature? Who was this supposed to impress?’
But since she had captured it with her own Beast Taming Ring, she couldn’t just stand by and watch it die. Besides, the little guy was a fluffy white ball, which was actually pretty cute.
But to her surprise, before the giant beast’s huge paw could even touch the little beast’s body, it was repelled by a flash of white light.
’Damn!’
’The Beast Taming Ring can do that? If I’d known, I would’ve used it on myself.’
The System, having accidentally peeked at its host’s secret little thought: "..."
’Does this Dog Host have some kind of misunderstanding about herself?’
’You’re a human, you know? Can we please get down to business?’
After repelling the giant beast’s attack, the white light gradually subsided, slowly receding into the little beast’s neck.
A moment later, the little beast’s eyes snapped open. Its round, now even more intelligent eyes stared unblinkingly at Wu Yue before it let out an "AWOO" and pounced.
It shot into Wu Yue’s arms like a small cannonball, crying out, "AWOO! AWOO! AWOO!"
Sensing the little beast’s joy, some of Wu Yue’s frustration dissipated.
’It seems I’m really not fated to have a cool, imposing mount.’
"ROAR!!!"
The giant beast’s paw had been knocked away. After a moment of shock, it was overcome with rage.
A little beast not even as big as its own droppings dared to fight back? It was an utter disregard for its authority.
Its savage, crimson eyes locked onto the one human and two beasts perched in the tree, and it charged with a furious roar.
Showing no fear of the large tree they were hiding in, it slammed into it with a BOOM.
The violent impact directly threw Wu Yue and the little beast, who didn’t have a good grip, from the tree.
"Gahhh!!!"
The thick trunk was so wide it would take several people to encircle it; there was no way she could hold on with just her two arms.
She could only watch the ground covered in rotting leaves and branches rush up to meet her. ’Oh, great Beast God, considering all the contributions I’ve made for your people, could you maybe offer me a little protection?’
Her prayer had just ended when the little beast, which had been whimpering in her arms, leaped out of her embrace.
Wu Yue was shocked. ’From such a height...’
But the next second, remembering how the little beast had moved effortlessly between the tree and the ground earlier, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
’And here I was, looking down on the System and the little beast. Turns out I’m the biggest weakling of all.’
She closed her eyes, bracing for the impact, but...
’This tree doesn’t seem that tall. Why have I been falling for so long without hitting the ground?’
Also, the Beast Skin clothes on her back felt a little tight. It was the distinct sensation of being grabbed by the scruff of the neck.
She slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself still suspended at the same height as the branch she had been sitting on.
But...
She sneakily wiggled her toes. ’Okay, not touching the ground...’
There was nothing around to stand on, either. ’So, have I kicked the bucket? Is this an out-of-body experience?’
But she quickly tossed that idea out of her head.
Because of the hot, damp feeling constantly brushing against the back of her neck. ’Holy cow, something is definitely breathing on me from behind.’
She stiffly turned her... turn...
’Damn it, I can’t turn...’
"System, are you still alive?"
It finally dawned on Wu Yue that she was probably being held in the jaws of some Fierce Beast, and a small sense of panic set in.
"Host, don’t be afraid. We are very safe right now."
There was a hint of excitement in the System’s voice, but Wu Yue couldn’t feel excited at all.
"You’re safe, but I’m not! Can you please see what’s holding me? Maybe you can negotiate with it to put me down.
If it keeps strangling me like this, I’m going to die on the spot."
She wasn’t lying. The Fierce Beast behind her was holding her by her Beast Skin clothes, and the collar was slowly tightening around her throat.
At this rate, she’d be sent to the afterlife long before the Fierce Beast that had rammed the tree could get to her.
As soon as Wu Yue finished speaking, she felt the Fierce Beast holding her turn around and fly toward a large tree behind them.
