CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: CRITICAL BREAKTHROUGH

Everyone looked over, and the one speaking was none other than Lee Zaiqing, who had been trailing behind.

Ouyang Jie furrowed his brow and then felt a headache...

Almost forgot about this stubborn kid.

Lee Zaiqing was known in the academy for being stubborn because he rarely communicated with others and only focused on intense training.

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised. He had interacted with Lee Zaiqing and knew what kind of person he was.

"If our fifth team initiates an attack on them and we lose, I will accept it, but if you plan to unite..." Lee Zaiqing said, "I won’t help you."

After speaking, he stepped forward voluntarily. Lin Chen exchanged a glance with him but said nothing.

There wasn’t much of a relationship between them, but they were both principled people.

"I don’t want your help!" Ouyang Jie shouted in anger, jumping with rage.

Four against two would be an easy win.

Ouyang Jie couldn’t wait to begin, but who would’ve thought Lee Zaiqing would step forward to stand by Lin Chen’s side.

The Iron Palm Bear and the Plowhorn Beast exchanged a glance and nodded.

They had met before and fought against each other, but now they were comrades in arms.

"Alright, alright, alright, Lee Zaiqing, you’re only ranked twentieth. Do you really think you’re that good?" Ouyang Jie urged, "Hurry up, adding one more won’t make a difference, but don’t let his Spirit Beast recover."

...

Black Mountain City

Medical Clinic

Thud thud thud~~~

On the stone path, a long blood trail stretched, as Huang Xiaotian rushed in like a madman, carrying Wu Lei, who looked like a blood person, and shouted, "Save him, save him, please save him..."

The surrounding medical staff immediately stepped forward to help take Wu Lei, but all gasped.

A long crack ran through his heart...

In the Beast Taming World, there were specialized Spirit Beasts for healing, but some fatal injuries were incurable.

Wu Lei was quickly pushed inside. Huang Xiaotian was trembling all over, constantly bleeding, not knowing if it was his blood or Wu Lei’s.

He also had a large scar on his forehead.

The medical staff wanted to step forward to bandage him, but he had no intention of responding, only repeating, "Save him, save him..."

The reason for his state was that Black Mountain City was ambushed, and he felt partly responsible.

He was the one who found the entrance to the Demon Beast’s Secret Realm.

Thus, the Monster Hunters of Black Mountain City mobilized to attack there.

Who would’ve thought it was a trap waiting for them?

This time, the casualties were heavy. Not to mention Black Mountain City’s team, the entire tenth team of Jiuxing City was annihilated, and in their thirteenth team, the newly joined teammate was devoured by a Demon Beast, Wu Lei was severely injured, and Xia Yu’s Spirit Beast fought desperately to save them.

But even Xia Yu fell into a coma.

As for Wu Lei, he had already started spitting black blood.

"Calm down, calm down...he will be fine, he will be fine," Huang Xiaotian’s eyes were red, his usual confidence gone, as he squeezed his fingers tightly, trying to calm down.

But how could he?

Ever since he joined the thirteenth team, Wu Lei had been taking care of him.

To him, Wu Lei was more than just his captain but like family.

The waiting time lasted an hour, and finally, the emergency room door opened.

The doctor came out, and Huang Xiaotian immediately stood up, asking, "Is the surgery done?"

The doctor looked at the expectant Huang Xiaotian, sighed, and completely dashed his hopes...

"My Spirit Beast gave him a breath; if you have something to say...say it now."

With that, the doctor left.

Thump~~

Huang Xiaotian’s legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.

It was the medical staff next to him who said, "Go see him, he won’t last long."

Only then did Huang Xiaotian get up unsteadily, wiping the blood off his face, trying to act as if nothing was wrong.

But when he entered that door, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

On the hospital bed, Wu Lei lay there calmly, already aware of the outcome.

When Huang Xiaotian came in, he turned his back, trembling all over.

"Didn’t you always say you wanted to be the captain?" Wu Lei’s face was whiter than paper, "Now it’s your turn."

"Who the hell wants to be captain," Huang Xiaotian shouted loudly.

Wu Lei ignored him and said, "Ever since I became a Monster Hunter, I knew I would end up like this."

"If you knew, then you should have quit!" Huang Xiaotian said in a trembling voice, "I told you before, there’s no need to risk your life for so-called justice..."

"Someone has to do it; why can’t that someone be me?" Wu Lei’s voice remained calm, but his face grew paler.

Huang Xiaotian closed his eyes, unable to watch anymore.

Wu Lei was a good guy, always showing a forgiving attitude to everyone.

Unfortunately, good people often meet short lives.

"Do you want to quit?"

"I do."

"Then quit."

"No..." Huang Xiaotian bit his lip hard and said, "I want to take them down first."

Wu Lei quietly looked at him and said, "I know you can do it."

The two men sat there silently, occasionally speaking a sentence, but Wu Lei’s breath grew weaker.

Until Lee Zhen rushed over, seeing this scene, his eyes instantly reddened.

"Old Captain, you’re here..."

"I have to go."

"I hear Ah Wen and the others calling me!"

Lee Zhen looked at the slowly closing eyes of Wu Lei and chanted in a tearful voice:

"Wu Lei, joined the Monster Hunter Guild at 25, now captain of the thirteenth team, has destroyed a total of one thousand six hundred and forty-three Demon Beasts, repelled eighty Beast Tides...."

....

No one spoke, but the great battle had begun.

Four against three, with Ning Zimo and Cai Yuanji’s Spirit Beasts already quite worn out.

"Let me know if you can’t hold on," Lin Chen said to them.

The three nodded, and Cai Yuanji, who wasn’t joking anymore, said to Xiaobai in the distance, "Xiaobai, we’re waiting for you!"

Lin Chen also told Xiaobai to rest quickly. In just thirty seconds, the melee had become quite fierce.

The Shadow Tiger was the first to fall to the ground, blood gushing from its right leg, but it shakily stood up and rejoined the melee.

The Iron Palm Bear wasn’t much better; its combat power wasn’t the best among this group of Spirit Beasts.

The only one with strong combat power was the Snow Lion.

The Snow Lion’s combat power was not inferior to any of them in a 1v1, but it was under the strictest watch.

The four Spirit Beasts were almost entirely focused on him.

As the fight went on for nearly a minute, the Shadow Tiger finally couldn’t hold on and fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing the Shadow Tiger fall, a Spirit Beast immediately locked onto Xiaobai.

It charged at Xiaobai, extending its claws to break Xiaobai’s recovery.

Seeing the crisis approaching, Xiaobai was about to get up to face it when a chubby figure appeared in front of Xiaobai.

It was the Iron Palm Bear!

It rushed desperately to block the Spirit Beast’s claws aimed at Xiaobai.

Despite its thick belly skin, it bled profusely, falling to the ground.

At that moment, the Spirit Beast pursuing the Iron Palm Bear also arrived, and the two beasts glared at Xiaobai...

This time, no one could stop them.

Seeing the Shadow Tiger and the Iron Palm Bear unconscious, Xiaobai suddenly roared angrily at the sky!

Everyone was startled, and then Ouyang Lin and the others became incredibly nervous.

It broke through!

At this crucial moment, Xiaobai leveled up from 10 to 11.

Lin Chen was overjoyed; the spiritual energy here was abundant, and coupled with the prolonged battle, Xiaobai broke through in a short time.

The "Beast Taming Treasure Manual" had said that Spirit Beasts capable of breaking through in battle usually had high combat talent.

Now it seemed Xiaobai’s combat talent was indeed high.

Xiaobai stood up, scaring the two nearby Spirit Beasts.

Xiaobai stepped forward, his rage palpable, and his horns turning white instantly.

You Spirit Beasts only dare to strike when Xiaobai is weak!

This time...

Niu Niu is truly angry!
