Cannon fodder? Even the Bronze High Tier Nether Cats are just cannon fodder in its eyes?!!

Is this the ruthlessness and brutality of fierce beasts? They show no mercy or sympathy, not only to their enemies but even to their own kind!

The deputy commander had never truly faced a Silver Tier fierce beast in his life, but judging from its earlier display of power, he knew he couldn't last ten moves against it!

No, even ten moves might be overestimating himself.

The Nether Cat, in its killing spree, made no distinction between humans of Bronze Tier and ordinary humans.

Wherever it went, anything in its path was torn to shreds!

In its eyes, there was no difference; they were all to be killed.

In an instant, the crowd scattered in all directions, and no one dared to mention forming a formation again.

Yet, there was one person and one tortoise, still moving against the fleeing crowd, actively heading towards the Nether Cat!

Although the speed of the Silver Tier Nether Cat was absurdly fast, Su Bai continued to close in on it!

Because Su Bai knew that only Little Eight's defense might hold off this Silver Tier Nether Cat.

And only by holding it off could there be a chance to kill it!

First, he had to find a way to limit its speed!

The Nether Cat, after its slaughter, noticed Su Bai and looked at Little Eight and Su Bai with interest. Having been watching the battle, it naturally recognized that this turtle had slapped a Bronze High Tier Nether Cat to death.

This tortoise seemed interesting; it could play with it first.

After all, with its speed, not a single person in this group could escape.

So, the Nether Cat stopped slaughtering ordinary people and charged directly at Little Eight. One second it was dozens of meters away.

The next second, it was right in front of Little Eight, its speed terrifyingly fast!

Silver claws accompanied by a fierce wind came crashing down on Little Eight's shell.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and Little Eight, unable to react in time, was forcibly pushed back several steps, even though its size was as large as a van, and its weight exceeded ten thousand pounds!

"Quite a decent punching bag!"

Realizing he had been targeted by the Nether Cat, Su Bai showed no fear.

Instead, it was exactly what he wanted; if the opponent kept running around, he really couldn't catch up.

Reflecting on the system's earlier prompt, Su Bai had a rough guess.

He had to take a gamble; if he won, he would live.

If he lost, they would die together!

After all, with the speed of the Silver Tier Nether Cat, no one could outrun it, so rather than sitting and waiting for death, it was better to fight to the death!

Seeing that Little Eight could withstand its attack, the Nether Cat became interested.

It leaped onto Little Eight's back, its claws moving rapidly, stirring up a fierce wind.

Seeing this, Su Bai remained calm, silently chanting: Turtle Shell Defense!

In an instant, Little Eight's vitality surged, adhering to its shell, tripling its defense!

Seeing this, the Nether Cat sneered, golden light swirling around its claws, and its attacks fell like a storm on Little Eight's shell.

In less than a minute, the Nether Cat had attacked over a hundred times.

Each strike carried terrifying force, even causing a crack to appear on Little Eight's shell, as if the golden light had a tearing effect on it.

These attacks even penetrated Little Eight's shell, reaching its body, causing its organs to start rupturing, and it spat out mouthfuls of turtle blood!

This was the first time Little Eight had been injured!

The attacks continued relentlessly, and no matter what Little Eight did, it couldn't shake the Nether Cat off its back, only enduring the damage.

As time passed, Little Eight was beaten to the brink of death!

At this moment, its shell was covered in alarming cracks, and although the Nether Cat didn't have armor-piercing attacks, Little Eight's abilities were relatively effective against it.

But under absolute attribute suppression, even the tough-skinned Little Eight couldn't withstand such attacks!

[Warning!!]

[Warning!!]

[Tamed Beast Little Tortoise is in a critical state, awakening talent: Origin Convergence (host can share energy and damage with the tamed beast)]

Just as Su Bai expected, although the system had warned of extreme danger, the suggested response was cautious handling, not escape.

This meant the system judged there was a certain chance of winning, not yet at the point of needing to flee.

In the face of crisis, the system provided some assistance!

Seeing Little Eight being beaten without the ability to fight back, Su Bai activated the Origin Convergence talent without hesitation.

In an instant, Su Bai began bleeding from his seven orifices, while Little Eight's injuries improved significantly.

"Su Bai!"

Seeing Su Bai injured, Lin Yanran desperately tried to rush over to help him, but was held back by Liao Yuxin.

Having just used Tiger Roar Dragon Chant, Lin Yanran was still in a weakened state and couldn't break free from Liao Yuxin.

At this moment, Liao Yuxin was also looking at Su Bai with shock:

"Heaven and Earth Return, Undying Divine Soul; Convergence of Divine Weapons, Sacred Beast Armament; Roots of Nature, Origin Convergence."

"Could this be one of the three top exclusive battle techniques of a Beast Tamer, the Origin Convergence?!"

"Su Bai actually managed to comprehend Origin Convergence on his own, such talent is unheard of!!"

The approaching deputy commander and Martial Academy instructors also witnessed this scene, and were shocked:

"This is the Beast Tamer's Origin Convergence, Su Bai actually comprehended this legendary battle technique?"

"Not good! Su Bai is sharing the Silver Tier Nether Cat's attacks with his tamed beast! We must support him quickly!"

"Kill!!"

At this moment, Su Bai felt a warm current suddenly emerge within him, rapidly healing his injuries and continuously enhancing his physical attributes.

Little Eight was experiencing the same; originally beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, it withdrew its limbs into its shell, quickly absorbing the energy from the beast core it had consumed earlier.

The aura that had stalled at the peak of ordinary state was rapidly growing under the life-and-death crisis!

If the Nether Cat hadn't severely injured Little Eight, it might have taken a long time to slowly digest this stored energy, but now, with its meridians, organs, and bones almost destroyed by the Nether Cat, this latent energy found an outlet, continuously merging into Little Eight's body.

[Ding~ Little Tortoise upgraded to Bronze Initial Tier: Earth Mystic Tortoise, Basalt Bloodline activated, gaining talent: Earth Gravity]

[Host level increased to Bronze Initial Tier]

[Tamed Beast: Earth Mystic Tortoise]

[Level: Bronze Initial Tier (Basalt Bloodline activated 30%, all attributes greatly enhanced, talent strengthened)]

[Constitution: 138]

[Talent 3: Earth Gravity (targets a specified target, pulling them towards the Earth Mystic Tortoise, otherwise greatly reducing their speed)]

Upon advancing to Bronze Tier, Little Eight's size instantly expanded to the size of a thirty-square-meter room, and its weight became immeasurable!

Most importantly, the Basalt Bloodline was fully activated!

Little Eight slowly opened its eyes, and the terrifying power of the Sacred Beast Basalt Bloodline erupted at that moment.

A primordial aura spread from Little Eight!

The ground beneath began to crack continuously, with terrifying fissures appearing out of nowhere.

"Roar!"

With a roar, fierce winds arose, and the world dimmed!

The Nether Cat, which had been attacking fiercely, suddenly felt a chill run down its spine.

An overwhelming sense of dread rose in its heart.

In the next second, it leaped off Little Eight's back, darting far away.

It squinted its eyes warily, scrutinizing Little Eight.

At this moment, Little Eight was at Bronze Initial Tier, a whole major realm below the Nether Cat, but the Nether Cat felt a terrifying pressure from Little Eight, making it hard to breathe.

This was the pressure of a top predator in the food chain over those at the bottom!
