Hearing Husky’s explanation, Bai Qi couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of

his eyes.

Using explosion runes as markers, what a dangerous habit he picked up from who knows where.

No way, he needed to thoroughly check when he got home, he didn’t want to get blasted to death by his own pet and end up on the trending news one day.

The man and his two beasts moved on, with Husky using his strengths to a tee, sniffing out a large amount of resources.

Unfortunately, none of Bai Qi’s three task targets appeared.

“This career exam is a total scam, at least give a bloody map.”

Bai Qi looked at the fog around him and said, “Beta, find a way out ASAP. This spooky place doesn’t look like somewhere the Light Wings Bird would like to roam.”

The Light Wings Bird was light attribute, the mineral was lightning attribute, it

just didn’t seem to fit this dreary environment. If they continued to stroll around like this, they were really going to be screwed.

Gulu gulu.

(Boss, there is someone coming.)

At that moment, Alpha suddenly issued a warning to Bai Qi. He then instantly entered combat mode, with two short swords in his hands, one black and one blue.

There were actually people thrown into this godforsaken place too?

Upon seeing the figure slowly appearing through the fog, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit excited.

After all this time, he finally ran into a living person. This means they should

be close to escaping this foggy area.

Soon, the person appeared in front of Bai Qi, with a fiery red bird at his side.

[Name]: Flaming Beak Crane

[Race]: Fire attribute, Flying System

[Growth Level]: High-grade Elite

[Skills]: Fireball, Flame Peck Attack

“What the hell, it’s a Beast Master from Gusu City, I thought I found an Ice

Dead Butterfly.”

The stranger also noticed Bai Qi, but he couldn’t help but complain when he

saw Alpha beside him.

An examinee from Lingxi City’s Tainxuan High School?

Bai Qi glanced at the emblem on the man’s clothes and decided not to converse with him. He was just going to leave.

The tasks in the career exam differed for almost everyone, so there was no direct competition for resources like in the previous survival test. Naturally, Bai Qi was reluctant to fight.

-Hey, isn’t it kind of rude to just leave without saying a word?”

Observing how Bai Qi had disregarded him, Li Lei got upset. He blocked Bai Qi’s path and said, “Are all people from Gusu City as arrogant as you?

“Hello, goodbye.”

Bai Qi was somewhat speechless, and he responded casually. But Li Lei obviously had no intention of letting Bai Qi go. After glancing at Alpha a few times, he recognized Bai Qi’s identity.

“So, you’re Bai Qi? The Ice Shadow Swordsman with an energy value of 13,000,

you don’t seem that impressive.”

“Hehe…”

Bai Qi took a look at Li Lei, who wore a prideful look, and mentally labeled him under the category of ‘edgy teenager.’

This type of character would definitely be a young master from a large family who’s just there to hand out experience points for the protagonist in an adventure novel. Unfortunately, he arrived on the scene a bit late.

Perhaps sensing Bai Qi’s disdainful look, Li Lei was immediately provoked. He launched an unprovoked attack on Bai Qi without warning.

“Flaming Beak Crane, Flame Peck Attack!”

Squawk!

The Flaming Beak Crane received the command and its long beak was immediately wrapped in flames, launching a swift peck attack at Alpha.

Clang clang clang!

However, Alpha’s reaction speed was obviously faster. As the Flaming Beak

Crane executed its skill, the bones in Alpha’s arm twisted and spun rapidly to form a bone shield bathed in frost. It easily blocked the Flaming Beak Crane’s offensive.

“What was that skill?!”

Seeing that Alpha had blocked the Flaming Beak Crane’s surprise attack so easily, Li Lei was a bit surprised. But considering Bai Qi’s astonishing energy value, he soon came to his senses.

“You’re pretty good. But being good alone isn’t going to cut it!”

Li Lei scoffed coldly and the Flaming Beak Crane immediately flew into the sky, launching a barrage of fireballs at Alpha.

Li Lei’s Flaming Beak Crane was a combination of the Flying and Fire systems. Being capable of long-range attacks and having no flying capabilities as well as being an ice attribute, Alpha was in a big disadvantage.

This boosted Li Lei’s confidence in his ability to beat Bai Qi.

Seeing how the Flaming Beak Crane seemed to have an advantageous position over Alpha, Bai Qi’s lips curled into a slight smile. He said, “Alpha, let’s test out the runes.”

Gulu gulu.

(Understood.)

Alpha nodded, infusing his two short swords with ice and shadow Energy Values He dodged the fireball attacks from the Flamemouth Crane while using the surrounding trees as stepping stones to swiftly close in on his opponent.

Child, you’re still too naive to have an air battle in the forest.

Just as expected, upon seeing Alpha approaching the Flamemouth Crane in such a manner, Li Lei reacted and immediately commanded his crane to increase its distance from Alpha.

However, they were, after all, in a forest. The Flamemouth Crane could not fully utilize its flying advantage, while Alpha hopped back and forth between trees, gradually closing in on the crane.

At that moment, they appeared in a clear open space within the dense forest. The Flamemouth Crane instantly seized the chance to fly higher, barely avoiding Alpha’s dual sword attack.

“Now it begins – my rhythm!”

Watching Alpha begin to fall due to the lack of trees to leap from, Li Lei quietly sighed with relief, then ordered the Flamemouth Crane to speed up its attack. “Does being able to fly mean you’re remarkable?

Upon seeing Li Lei’s self-confident demeanor, Bai Qi smirked. Alpha threw his swords, and they whistled as they soared towards the airborne Flamemouth Crane.

Steel Rune: Magnetism.

This attack by Alpha clearly caught Li Lei and the Flamemouth Crane off guard, and both were pierced by the swords.

Screech!

With a shriek, the Flamemouth Crane stiffened its wings and plummeted, then started to attack blindly in terror, neglecting to exclude its Beast Master from its barrage.

Ice Rune: Solidification.

Shadow Rune: Blinding.

“These runes really work. They just consume a bit too much energy. But we have plenty, we can afford it!’

Seeing the three chosen runes work successfully, Bai Qi nodded approvingly. Li Lei, standing nearby, also realized something was wrong and forcibly retracted the Flamemouth Crane back into the Beast Control Space.

“I lost.”

At first, he thought he could defeat Bai Qi and strike a blow at the prestige of Gusu City, but instead, he was the one who became a laughing stock.

“Uh…”

“Relax, I know the rules.”

Li Lei took out two Tranquilizing Grass from his bosom and said, “Here are two Tranquilizing Grass as compensation for my defeat in the battle. Goodbye.” Without waiting for Bai Qi’s reply, Li Lei started to head deeper into the dense forest.

“But…”

Li Lei paused, then took out two Blue Stones from his bosom and said, “I don’t have any more, so don’t be too greedy!”

“However…”

This time Li Lei didn’t take out anything else, but quickened his pace, disappearing into the dense woods without looking back.

“Don’t be smug. You’ll surely lose once you encounter Zhang Kai and his gang!” I only asked for directions. Was there any need to be so agitated, and what are these for, a road toll?

Are all Beast Masters in Lingxi City this straightforward… ?

Bai Qi ran his tongue over his teeth and just as he was about to continue exploring the way, he suddenly heard the sound of explosions coming from deep within the forest.

“What is…”

Bai Qi was taken aback, then turned to look at Beta in shock and asked, “When did you set up mines again?”

Ahow?

(Did I? Maybe I just forgot?)

The Husky guiltily turned its head aside. Seeing Bai Qi’s countenance turning darker, it finally confessed.

Woof Woof Woof!

(They don’t cause harm! At most, one might fall and eat… Wait, I mean, eat shit?)

Resigned to silence, Bai Qi picked up the resources left behind by Li Lei and examined them.

Tranquilizing Grass, a necessity for tranquilizing potions.

Water Wave Mineral, food for Water Attribute Beasts.

Both items were popular and could fetch a good price on the market. No wonder Li Lei was so upset – it was indeed as if a piece of flesh had been cut of from him.

However, due to this, Bai Qi increasingly felt like a road bandit.

Sigh! I am essentially good-natured, yet there are always people leading me down the path of corruption..
