Chapter 13: Taming the Magical Beast, Unexpectedly!

  "Xi Meng, your level is already high enough to capture a magical beast. Have you thought about which one you want to capture? Look, if it weren't for Yin Yue and Huo Shan's magical beasts, we wouldn't have been able to escape this time. Don't miss the opportunity. Reaching Warrior level allows you to capture magical beasts, and it's best to do so as soon as possible. Cultivating with a magical beast is excellent in terms of both future tacit understanding and ability."

  "I haven't thought it through yet, this can't be rushed. Let's take a look slowly." As for the matter of the demon beast, even if it can be captured, it's not certain that it can be brought back to the human world afterwards. It's better to wait until I return and ask my master, if it's okay then I'll come back next year to capture one.

  We were a group of four people walking through the dense forest, with only animal calls around us. So, my conversation with Xiao Pu quickly annoyed someone. "I'm saying can you two shut up? What if we attract some kind of magical beast later on? We just barely escaped, who still has the energy to fight again?" Huo Shan stopped in his tracks, one hand on his hip and the other pointing at us two, leaning against a tree.

  "Hmph, why are you still not convinced? This time it's all thanks to Xi Meng, or else would you have been able to escape?" Xiao Pu and Huo Shan started fighting again.

  "Although her last blow was strong, but later the ant beast group stopped by itself, and it's not necessarily because of her." "You're quibbling."...

  Xiao Pu and Huo Shan were still arguing. Did the beast group stop on its own? Was this really a trial? Were the strong people in the academy secretly protecting the students? Or was someone deliberately doing this, targeting one of us? "Xi Meng."

  Huh? Is Yin Yue calling me?

  He frowned at me and whispered "Be careful."

  "I'll go." Although it's strange, Gingetsu must have his reasons. Suddenly a chill ran down my spine, no way... I turned around and indeed, Hifumi was looking at me with a gloomy face. I smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's go, Kusuo, see if we can find any suitable magical beasts for me."

  I was just trying to change the subject, but Huo Shan wouldn't let me off the hook. With a scornful tone, he said, "You're the one, huh? Look over there, see that little green snake? It's perfect for you." As he spoke, he pointed at the small green snake.

  "Huo Shan, I don't want to quarrel with you. I came here just to practice well." I was speechless again and didn't get through to her.

  "Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you. Looks like you can't even tame a small magical beast like this."

  "Who said that, Xi Meng's talent is better than yours, what's the point of your unicorn, isn't it just because of your family background? What are you being arrogant about." Xiao Pu really couldn't take it anymore, why bother arguing with her.

  The strange Silver Moon did not stop them this time. Looking at Xiao Pu's expectation, Huo Shan's disdain, and Silver Moon's indifferent expression. Alas, I helplessly shook my head, what is going on here, why are they all bullying me?

  Suddenly, the jungle moved, and Xiao Pu and Huo Shan stopped arguing. Everyone looked vigilantly in that direction. After the army of ants passed by, there shouldn't be any more magical beasts appearing here. The marginal magical beasts aren't strong, so they would all be extremely wary of those terrifying Soul-Devouring Ants.

  Everyone was motionless, ready to strike at any moment. Just then, a small creature emerged from the bushes. Its body was about 30 centimeters in length, with a pure white coat and no impurities in its fur. A pair of blue eyes looked at us four, stared for a while, and then turned away without fear, walking slowly and proudly in another direction. What a beautiful little snow leopard. But how could such a powerful magical beast appear on the outskirts?

  "Xi Meng, this is a good opportunity. The snow leopard is still young and looks like it's run away from home. Before its parents come looking for it, let's catch it quickly." Xiao Pu grabbed my arm and kept shaking it, looking even more anxious than I was.

  Looking at Yin Yue, after all his experience is more than mine, it seems he also agrees with Xiao Pu's view, slightly nodding.

  The fire fan beside him snorted in disdain, seemingly very dissatisfied.

  Slowly releasing a blue-green soul energy, this is indeed considered good luck for me, such an opportunity is rare, thinking of this, the soul energy heads towards that snow leopard.

  "Ah!" The fire fan beside me suddenly let out a sharp cry and rushed in my direction. She bumped into me violently, causing my body to turn to the other side. Unfortunately, my soul energy was disrupted.

  At this time, Xiao Pu shouted: "Don't, Xi Meng."

  With a "pop" sound, I felt something on my face. Slowly opening my eyes, a pink, plump caterpillar was lying on my face. "Ah!" I shouted loudly, and my body involuntarily jumped backward. The little caterpillar floated in front of me, about 5 centimeters away, with a pair of green bean-like eyes, looking at me with an expression of helplessness and anger.

  "Hahaha... " The sound of the fire fan's loud laughter echoed in my ears: "I told you, what do you have that's not even comparable to that little snake? Caterpillar, it really suits you better."

  "Ximeng, sorry, it's all my fault." Xiao Pu said with his head down, then turned to shout at the fire fan on the side "It's all you, you did it on purpose!"

  Huǒ shàn yǒu xiē gāngà, tíngzhǐle xiào shēng, réng qiángzhuāng zhe dà hǎn huí lái, "běn xiǎo jiě zuì pà zhèxiē ě xin bā lā de chóngzi, cái bù xiǎoxīn zhuàng shàng xí mèng, tā bǎ zhè zhī chóngzi shōule néng guài wǒ ma, wǒ ràng tā shōu de ma?"

  It seems that Huo Shan was startled by this sudden appearance of a small caterpillar and did not intentionally bump into me.

  Lala Xiaopu, "Forget it, nothing. This one... hmm, the caterpillar is quite cute." Unfortunately, my rare beast was just a tiny caterpillar smaller than my hand. What a waste of an opportunity.

  I looked at Yin Yue with a resentful face, only to see his back figure seemingly trying to hold something in, his shoulders slightly trembling. "Heh" he also burst out laughing. Fine, you guys laugh, I don't care. I lowered my head and looked at the caterpillar that had somehow climbed onto my shoulder, it still had that annoying expression. You're still angry? I'm angrier than you, okay?

  "Alright, 36th group, this trial is over. Let's move quickly." It was that instructor, geez, why didn't he come sooner?

  "Alright, let's go back."
