Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 693 - 451: Little Blue Fish’s Skill Evolution_3

"We have no chance of winning now... Survival is the only... future we have!"

Xu Youzhen bit his lip hard upon hearing those words, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth.

They will all die here; it’s just a matter of time. What future is there to speak of?

He wanted to cry out loud, wanted to charge out regardless of everything, but Wu Ying’s words and his lingering rationality calmed him down.

Those outside the Secret Realm might find a one-month opening too brief, the opportunities fleeting.

But for those within the Secret Realm’s remains in Black Mountain City, every day and every moment felt interminably eternal.

They hid in dark corners, listening to the distant roars of spirit beasts and the dying screams of their compatriots, sensing the bloody scent in the Spiritual Qi, with their hearts in their throats, counting seconds as years.

.....

No one knew how long it had been before a faint "rustling" sound approached, gradually growing audible to both of them.

The sound was neither wind through grass nor normal insect chirps, but more like something quickly sweeping across the ground while keenly probing the surroundings.

Wu Ying and Xu Youzhen simultaneously held their breath, their eyes instantly becoming sharp and terrified.

"It’s trouble; it’s the Divine Tiger Race’s tracking spirit weasel!"

Wu Ying spoke in a barely audible whisper, his heart sinking to the bottom.

The tracking spirit weasel, an extremely rare type of information auxiliary spirit beast, small-bodied, fast, with an acute sense of smell able to discern traces from days ago, and capable of detecting faint scents of blood and Spiritual Power in the air.

They are born trackers, the pinnacle of information-type spirit beasts.

Clearly, the Divine Tiger Race wasn’t satisfied with mere slaughter; they were systematically sweeping every corner of the Secret Realm to ensure no survivors, monopolizing all Spiritual Qi and opportunities!

The "rustling" sound paused outside the stone crevice.

The two could clearly feel an almost indiscernible divine thought sweeping over the entrance, carrying a cold, scrutinizing intent.

Xu Youzhen covered his mouth tightly, his heartbeat almost ceased. Wu Ying pressed down the surging blood within, restraining his remaining breath to the extreme.

Moments later, the "rustling" sound seemed to grow distant.

Just as the two were about to breathe a sigh of relief—

"Screech—!"

A piercing, jarring screech suddenly erupted from above the stone crevice!

A completely silver-white spirit weasel hung upside-down on the vine above the crevice, its crimson eyes locked onto the pair inside, filled with excitement and cruelty of discovering prey.

Its earlier retreat was merely a ruse!

This cunning creature had long discovered them, merely toying with them!

"We’ve been found!"

Wu Ying’s face changed dramatically.

Almost simultaneously with the spirit weasel’s screech, strong Spiritual Power waves came from afar, rushing toward them at an alarming speed!

Among them was none other than Ji Shi and his divine tiger!

"Run!"

Wu Ying somehow summoned a burst of strength, pushing Xu Youzhen away and struggling to stand, trying to buy him even a moment of escape.

"Let’s go together!"

Xu Youzhen’s eyes were tearing up as he tried to grab Wu Ying.

"It’s too late!" Wu Ying roared, blood spilling from his mouth again, "Survive... wait until the Secret Realm disappears, then there might be a last chance in Jiuxing City..."

In that instant of frantic dispute, several figures ghosted into the crevice, completely blocking any escape.

Leading them was the stern-faced Ji Shi.

He rode upon the terrifying divine tiger, level ninety-two, gazing down at the two bedraggled individuals in the crevice as if viewing lambs led to slaughter.

The silver-white tracking spirit weasel hopped onto the divine tiger’s shoulder, squeaking with triumph.

"Two hiding rats." Ji Shi’s voice was devoid of emotion, his gaze swept over the injured Wu Ying, recalling something, "Oh? It’s you... took a hit from my divine tiger and survived, quite tenacious."

"But this time, no matter how tough, you’ll likely meet your end here."
