Cultivation Pet Shop

Zi Ling turned to Rocky and patted it on the head again, but this time it was different.

There was a strange force that surrounded her hand as she patted Rocky and as she continued patting Rocky, its eyes had slowly dimmed like it was falling into an illusion. ​​

After a while, Rocky had stopped moving and just stood there like a statue.

Once this was over, Zi Ling left a trace of her life energy on Rocky to keep away other beasts before disappearing on the spot.

…

Lin Fan was quickly led by Brainy to where the larger group was currently camping out while burying their dead.

They had been several kilometers away, but with Lin Fan's cultivation and physique, he quickly rushed over in a matter of minutes.

When he arrived, they were still finishing up digging the holes and gathering food for lunch.

Lin Fan could feel the Gold Realm auras coming from three of these people like Brainy had mentioned. As for the rest, there were seven in the Silver Realm and the rest were all in the Bronze Realm.

While watching them, Lin Fan began devising a plan on how to slaughter them all.

If he just attacked them head on, while he would be able to win, it would draw too much attention and would waste too much time. So after thinking about it, he discarded that plan.

While thinking, Lin Fan suddenly came up with an idea.

As soon as Lin Fan came up with this idea, he began asking Brainy a few questions, as well as planning their next move.

Lin Fan had thought that he was quite well hidden, but what he didn't notice was that Zi Ling was flying in the air above the trees, watching his every move.

…

After around half an hour, there were more beasts that showed up around the area this group was camping in, but strangely they were all moving in a coordinated manner.

There were five Gold Realm beasts and over twenty Silver Realm beasts, it was plenty to slaughter this entire group.

But of course Lin Fan didn't want a single one to escape, so he had been waiting for Brainy to gather its Bronze Realm puppets.

In the end, Brainy's spiritual senses capacity was limited.

When it had first mutated and was only in the Silver Realm, it was only able to control a few puppets. As its cultivation grew, it had gone from 50 puppets in the peak of the Silver Realm to over 300 puppets in the high Gold Realm. Brainy was certain that as long as it reached the peak Gold Realm, it would be able to control over 500 puppets.

Brainy left one hundred of its puppet limit to controlling Iron Realm for scouting purposes before creating a large army of a hundred Bronze Realm beasts.

These beasts had already gathered around the area and were surrounding the larger group, with most of them gathered on one side.

Lin Fan's plan was to send this large group in to simulate a beast wave before ambushing them with the surrounding beasts. During this time, Lin Fan would be waiting on the side, waiting for the chance to ambush them.

In the beast wave that would be leading the attack, there was one Gold Realm beast that was leading them with five Silver Realm beasts and close to fifty Bronze Realm beasts.

With these numbers, it would be an enticing bait in this realm where killing beasts earned you points. The three Gold Realm Experts they had would be more than enough to take care of this beast wave, so they would have no intentions of running.

After all the beasts reached their positions, Brainy gave the signal and the beast wave charged forward.

The scout of the large group had sharp ears and once he heard the sounds of trampling footsteps, he immediately said, "Everyone, it's a beast wave!"

The experts all released their spiritual senses and the moment they sensed that it was only a single Gold Realm beast leading this wave, they were much more relaxed.

They had three Gold Realm Experts here, as long as they worked together, they could easily defeat this. Now the only problem was who would get the points for the Gold Realm beast. But in the end, they decided to give it to the leader and share the Silver Realm beasts.

As for the Silver Realm Experts, of course they had no say since they wouldn't even be able to survive if these Gold Realm Experts weren't here.

While they were preparing to face the oncoming beast wave, Lin Fan had already moved to the other side with one of the Gold Realm beasts while he had Brainy prepare the other three.

When the first beast came out of the trees and charged at the group, they were excited at the chance to gain more points.

The ones in the Bronze Realm were the first to move forward to push back the Bronze Realm beasts, while those in the Silver Realm stood behind them in a defensive line.

Eventually, the Silver Realm beasts came out of the tree lines and the Silver Realm Experts moved forward to engage them. It fell into an even fight with the Silver Realm Experts taking care of a single Silver Realm beast each and the remaining Silver Realm Expert supporting the Bronze Realm Experts in taking care of the Bronze Realm beasts.

Finally, the boss of the beast wave appeared and the leader engaged the Gold Realm beast while the other two Gold Realm Experts provided support.

The fight continued until it reached an even exchange, but the humans were slowly gaining ground as they continued to kite the beasts around until they became tired.

When the humans thought that they had won, there was a sudden howl that came behind them as another Gold Realm beast had appeared.

The two Gold Realm Experts who had been supporting the leader immediately broke off and surrounded the new Gold Realm beast. They were trying to stall it while their leader finished off the first Gold Realm beast.

However, the moment they were about to engage the second Gold Realm beast, they heard one more roar come from the side.

When they all turned their heads towards the source of the sound, they found that it was another Gold Realm beast leading another two Silver Realm beasts and several Bronze Realm beasts.

Just what was going on here?

Why were there so many beasts that were drawn to them?

When they were filled with despair and were prepared to escape, there was another roar that came from the final and only side they could escape to. This final roar was enough to completely fill them with dread.

…

As for Zi Ling who was observing above the trees, at first she thought that Lin Fan was just lucky enough to catch this group as they were being swept up with a beast wave, but that all changed when the second Gold Realm beast appeared.

She knew that it was no coincidence that this second Gold Realm beast was here, so she immediately released his spiritual sense and found the spiritual energy coming from Lin Fan. Or more specifically the vine snake that was wrapped around his arm.

She wasn't shocked by the fact that Brainy was a Gold Realm Beast or the fact that Brainy was a mutated beast, rather she was shocked that Brainy was a spiritual type pet that could control other living beings.

This kind of pet was even rare in the upper realms because beasts rarely developed this ability. The only race that had this power was generally the Bug Race that were feared across the universe. The queens of that race had spiritual sense abilities that allowed them to control thousands of bugs, creating an instant army.

Brainy's abilities were similar to that, as long as its spiritual sense was strong enough, it could create an army of puppets that were at the same level as it. Even if an expert was strong, their stamina was limited in the end and they would never be able to defeat an army at the same level as them.

…

As for Lin Fan, he was currently stalking up towards the group.

Since they were panicking over the sudden appearance of four Gold Realm beasts, their spiritual senses were in a mess, making it much easier for Lin Fan to sneak up on them.

Once the fourth beast appeared, they all fell into a panic, giving Lin Fan the perfect chance to attack.

In one swift motion, he gathered all his strength and sent out a palm at the head of one of the supporting Gold Realm Experts.
