Chapter 323: Shadow Frog, Three-Tailed Kite, and Masked Spider
As Dakali spoke, Li Qian furrowed his brows in deep thought.
He didn't interrupt but listened quietly.
After Dakali finished speaking, he leisurely scanned the crowd.
"Out of these three places, I think these are the most suitable training grounds for us at the moment."
"Think it over and give some suggestions. Which place is better?" After saying this, Dakali began to seek everyone's opinions.
His gaze wandered, scanning the crowd without haste.
The crowd fell into deep contemplation.
They began to compare the pros and cons of these three locations in their minds.
The group walked towards the town exit, discussing and thinking as they went.
Ding Ganmao contemplated for a moment before speaking up, sharing his thoughts, "First, we should rule out Wudi Ancient City."
Without pausing, he continued, "There are mainly undead companion beasts there, which are more troublesome to deal with."
"Most importantly, among our team of eight, it seems none of us have contracted a Light-type companion beast."
Finally, he advised, "Without a means to counter them, I think it's best to avoid that place for now."
Li Qian had initially been interested in Wudi Ancient City, but after hearing Ding Ganmao's suggestion, he quickly changed his mind.
For now, it was best to avoid Wudi Ancient City.
The difficulty in dealing with undead companion beasts was just one reason.
Another reason was...
With so many people moving together, it was rather inconvenient.
It felt like they were being held back.
If Li Qian were alone, he would have chosen Wudi Ancient City without hesitation.
While other types of companion beasts might not have the same advantage as Light-type against undead, they could still fight and deal damage.
"What about Golden Sand Ridge and Blackstone Forest? Which one do you prefer?" Dakali nodded, clearly agreeing with Ding Ganmao's statement.
After the start of the semester, this was their first wilderness training, and being cautious was never a bad idea.
"In my opinion, there's no difference between Golden Sand Ridge and Blackstone Forest. We can choose either one."
Li Yuhu pouted upon hearing Dakali's words, letting out a slightly cold and arrogant sound.
Piro glanced at the crowd and offered his suggestion, "Let's go to Blackstone Forest. Although it's slightly more dangerous than Golden Sand Ridge, the potential rewards might be greater."
He added softly, "Most importantly, with our team's strength, going to Golden Sand Ridge might not provide much training."
"Mmm," Li Qian nodded in agreement, clearly accepting Piro's suggestion.
Wang Enci observed Li Qian's reaction and spoke on his behalf, "Then let's go to Blackstone Forest."
"Agreed," Dakali and Li Yuhu both concurred.
An Waduo remained silent, showing no intention of speaking.
However, he nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.
"In that direction." After making the decision, Dakali immediately took out his phone to check the location, and after a moment, he pointed towards a specific direction.
That was the location of Blackstone Forest.
Finding this place was relatively easy for Dakali and the others, who were local bosses in the area.
The eight of them followed the direction Dakali pointed, walking for about two hours. As the time approached 8 a.m., a continuous dark outline finally appeared on the horizon.
Dakali pointed at the undulating black silhouette in the distance and said, "That's the Black Stone Forest ahead."
Wang Guanjun looked at the black outline in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Indeed, the scale of it is a bit terrifying. One has to admit, nature has truly created a masterpiece."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuhu's lips curled up in a subtle, enigmatic smile, "Who says that everything before us is definitely the work of nature..."
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Guanjun immediately understood Li Yuhu's implied meaning, but he was just a little reluctant to believe it.
The tomboyish Li Yuhu smiled enigmatically, "In our Beast Tamer World, anything is possible..."
Ding Ganmao's interest was piqued instantly, and he walked over, interjecting, "You mean... Companion Beasts?"
"Who knows for sure," Li Yuhu added meaningfully, "Perhaps it's nature's creation, or perhaps there's another reason..." He didn't say more and followed Dakali's footsteps, heading straight towards the distant black silhouette on the horizon.
Seeing this, Dakali didn't hesitate either. He reminded the group, "Stop chatting, we're almost there, everyone stay alert."
As the saying goes, the journey is more important than the destination. Even though the group's physical conditions were far superior to ordinary people, it still took them a full forty-five minutes to reach the Black Stone Forest from the time they first saw it.
Dakali glanced at the Black Stone Forest ahead and offered his suggestion, "To avoid attracting too many Companion Beasts or stirring up trouble, I suggest we don't summon all our Companion Beasts at once. Instead, let's keep the larger ones in standby mode for now."
Piro spoke up first, "My Shadow Frog is fast and not too big, so I can summon it to keep watch."
Li Yuhu thought for a moment and directly summoned a flying-type Companion Beast.
She pointed to the flying Companion Beast she had summoned and introduced it, "My Three-Tailed Kite can serve as a scout. It's also quite fast, and most importantly, it has incredible vision, capable of detecting even the smallest details."
Wang Guanjun raised his hand and shared his situation, "My Masked Spider has excellent camouflage and is suitable for surveillance as well."
"Then let's go with that," Dakali said, seeing that three Companion Beasts had already been chosen. Among them was the incredibly fast Shadow Frog and the flying Three-Tailed Kite, ensuring their safety was undoubtedly guaranteed.
After deciding on the three Companion Beasts to guard and scout the surroundings, the group no longer hesitated and entered the Black Stone Forest without delay.
They searched calmly, maintaining a reasonable distance from each other, their faces occasionally flashing with excitement.
After about twenty minutes of searching through the Black Stone Forest, the group hadn't encountered any extraordinary beings.
Just as everyone was starting to feel bored, the Three-Tailed Kite suddenly descended from mid-air.
Li Yuhu immediately spoke up, "Wait, my Three-Tailed Kite seems to have found something. It's located at the four o'clock direction from our current position, approximately two kilometers away."
"What's going on?" Ding Ganmao was puzzled, but he quickly realized what was happening.
Had they encountered an extraordinary being?!
