Domestication of Divine Beasts at the Beginning
Chapter 20 – Beasts of doom are coming, a realm of absolute slaughter
Su Bai stared at the system's warning message, his pupils contracting sharply.
The last time the system issued a warning was before Su Bai came to the Martial Academy. The system had indicated that three Low Tier Martial Artists harbored strong hostility towards him, but it hadn't marked any danger level.
This time, it was marked as extremely dangerous right from the start!
There was even a five-star lethal threat!
For the system to classify something as a lethal threat, it had to be very serious.
Eight hundred and sixty-four Nether Cats were attacking!
Instinctively, Su Bai turned his head to look at the forest in the southwest direction. Although the forest appeared calm at the moment, showing no signs of impending danger, Su Bai's gaze seemed to pierce three kilometers away, envisioning the scene of the Nether Cats charging in.
This Nether Cat force was coming in full force!
This was a death trap!
"A large group of fierce beasts is attacking!"
At this moment, Su Bai couldn't care about anything else. He roared, issuing a warning to everyone.
Grabbing Lin Yanran's arm, he ran all the way to the mentor and urgently said:
"Mentor, in the southwest direction, I sense a large number of fierce beasts charging towards us!"
Liao Yuxin looked in the direction Su Bai indicated. The forest was as silent as a dead sea, where was the danger?
Liao Yuxin thought Su Bai was joking, feeling displeased, she sternly reprimanded:
"Su Bai, this is the Myriad Races Battlefield, not a place for your nonsense! Do you know what consequences your actions could have if they cause panic among the students?"
The deputy commander, who had been following behind Lin Yanran, also noticed the situation with Su Bai and hurried over, squinting his eyes as he scrutinized Su Bai:
"You're Su Bai, right? You better give me a reasonable explanation."
He was a military man and a battlefield commander, his ability to sense danger far surpassed that of the mentors.
When Su Bai issued the warning, he had already investigated.
With years of experience as a veteran, he had more than a dozen ways to sense an enemy attack. In an instant, he knew that within a two-kilometer radius of the forest, there couldn't be any crisis!
As for farther away, even with his Bronze Tier peak strength and over a decade of military experience, he couldn't detect anything. How could a student like Su Bai know?
Liao Yuxin saw the deputy commander challenging Su Bai and quickly tried to help Su Bai out: "Deputy Commander, Su Bai is just a student on his first battlefield experience. Although he might be a bit reckless, he definitely didn't do it on purpose!"
"Maybe he's just overly nervous and imagining things, this happens often."
Liao Yuxin's explanation was reasonable. Most new students on their first battlefield experience would become overly nervous under the dual impact of visual and mental stress.
This situation was indeed not uncommon, but the military is the military, and no amount of reason can break military discipline.
Su Bai was unlikely to escape a reprimand.
Lin Yanran, who had been by Su Bai's side, also noticed the subtlety of the situation.
But she understood Su Bai better than anyone else. In her heart, Su Bai was never someone who spoke without reason.
If Su Bai said there was a crisis, then there definitely was!
She believed in Su Bai without any reservations, no reason needed!
Others might fear the deputy commander's status, but Lin Yanran didn't care and directly protested to the deputy commander:
"Until everything is clear, I hope no one jumps to conclusions. I believe what Su Bai says!"
Deputy Commander: "..."
The previously aggressive deputy commander was momentarily at a loss for words after being confronted by Lin Yanran. Others might not know Lin Yanran's background, but he had some guesses.
The reason he was leading the team this time was, to put it bluntly, because of Lin Yanran. Now that the main person involved had spoken, he was in a bit of a dilemma.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the deputy commander didn't know how to proceed, so he turned his gaze to Su Bai.
Su Bai looked at the crowd, who didn't believe him, and his thoughts surged as he analyzed the current situation.
Su Bai didn't want to be a hero. Essentially, he was just an ordinary person, only forced into this dangerous world.
To be honest, apart from his family and Lin Yanran, he didn't feel much attachment to this world.
He just wanted to live well and protect the family and friends he cared about.
If one day he became strong enough, he wouldn't mind helping more humans survive, as long as it was within his power.
But not now! Right now, surviving with Lin Yanran was the most important thing!
They were on the battlefield.
If they ignored everyone else and recklessly left the battlefield, they would be deserters!
Running away was not an option. The military's attitude towards deserters was uncompromising—immediate execution, no questions asked!
Even if Su Bai suspected Lin Yanran had some background, military discipline was as unyielding as a mountain!
Moreover, in this situation, staying with the main force would increase their chances of survival.
So for Su Bai, the best plan was to quickly convince the deputy commander to believe him, take early countermeasures, and increase everyone's chances of survival.
And the fastest way to earn their trust was to demonstrate his abilities.
After sorting out his thoughts, Su Bai said:
"I'm a Beast Tamer Superpowered Individual. Everyone knows that Exotic Beasts have a much stronger ability to sense crises than humans, and I've inherited some of that ability. When I entered the Martial Academy, I was admitted through a special recommendation, so the school didn't register my status as a Superpowered Individual."
At these words, everyone was shocked.
Liao Yuxin was especially stunned as she looked at Su Bai.
Su Bai was actually a Superpowered Individual!
Three months of training and they hadn't noticed at all, treating Su Bai as a Martial Artist for so long?!
And Su Bai's sensing ability was actually above that of a Bronze Tier deputy commander!
Was this really possible?
The most terrifying thing was Su Bai's calm demeanor.
Which young person who awakened a superpower could resist showing off?
While the deputy commander was still unsure if Su Bai's words were true, a sense of dread suddenly spread in his heart.
Intense crisis signals exploded in his mind!
The deputy commander suddenly looked towards the southwest, but at that moment, the forest only emitted a rustling sound of leaves, as if a gentle breeze was passing through.
Nothing else.
But the deputy commander's forehead was still covered in cold sweat, and he looked at Su Bai with shock.
What Su Bai said was true!
A large group of fierce beasts was indeed charging towards them!
Now, words were useless; they had to prepare immediately.
He suddenly took a deep breath and shouted to everyone:
"Everyone, listen up!"
"Gather by class, quickly come to me, and form a defensive formation nearby!"
"The crisis is coming from the southwest, a large group of fierce beasts is attacking!"
"Move, move, move, if you don't want to die, follow my orders now!"
"Quick!"
Instantly, the entire area became extremely tense, and Liao Yuxin looked at the deputy commander in confusion.
Why did he suddenly believe Su Bai?
But she didn't defy the military order and quickly executed the command.
The students, facing this scenario for the first time, were momentarily caught in mild panic, with some unable to react immediately.
The deputy commander's urgent orders continued:
"Gather by class, quickly come to me, and form a defensive formation nearby!"
"Move! Get going!"
The soldiers and Martial Academy mentors reacted the fastest. Although they didn't know what was happening, an order was an order, and they just needed to execute it!
Under the mentors' organization, the situation quickly stabilized.
Although the students were still nervous and panicked, under the guidance of the deputy commander and mentors, they formed a circular defensive formation on the spot and moved towards the eighth class where the deputy commander was.
Su Bai and Lin Yanran initially wanted to return to their classmates to form a formation, but they were pulled back by the deputy commander.
"You two don't need to form up, just stay by my side. I'll have two soldiers take your previous positions."
Then, the deputy commander looked at the class monitor who had come out of the camp with him: "Zhang Changrong, have you contacted the base? When will reinforcements arrive?"
"Report, Deputy Commander, I contacted the base as soon as you gave the order. I just received a message from the base that signs of a large group of fierce beasts attacking have also been detected around the base, and they can't provide support for now!"
Liao Yuxin, hearing their conversation, showed a hint of panic in her eyes: "Deputy Commander, is it true that fierce beasts are attacking?"
"If it's true, without reinforcements, these students have no combat power!"
The deputy commander pondered for a moment:
"Yes, Su Bai's sensing is correct. I just sensed a large group of fierce beasts rapidly approaching within two kilometers."
"They're moving fast!"
"Our F269 Military Base is close to the Jiangzhou Province military fortress, which has a rapid response unit. The commotion from our attack will definitely alert the fortress's rapid response unit."
"Trust me, reinforcements will arrive in at most an hour!"
"The key now is whether we can hold out for that hour!"
Hearing this, Liao Yuxin looked incredulously at the young student beside her, Su Bai, who suddenly seemed mysterious to her.
Just then, the trees in the distant southwest swayed, startling a flock of birds into a frantic escape.
Looking out, a dense flock of birds created a spectacular scene.
But at this moment, no one appreciated the magnificent view!

Now, anyone with sense knew that danger was approaching!
A sense of oppression grew in every student's heart.
The pressure was mounting.
