Failed Awakening, Summoning a Divine Beast, I Take Off On the Spot – Chapter 34

Ch 34: First Encounter with Silver

When the city guard took the “Medal of Valor” handed over by Chu Qiu, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

This was not only a symbol of honor for summoners but also an honor that ordinary soldiers like them dreamed of.

“Lord Chu Qiu, are you going out of the city?”

The soldier asked respectfully, his tone carrying a hint of awe and admiration.

“Yes, going outside the city to hunt some Exotic Beasts.”

Chu Qiu nodded, his tone calm, trying to appear very composed.

“Then Lord Chu Qiu must be careful, the outside of the city is full of dangers, with Exotic Beasts running rampant.”

The soldier kindly reminded him, after all, the outside of the city was different from the inside, and if one died, not even the bones would be left.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Chu Qiu responded politely, asked for directions out of the city, and then strode towards the outside.

Walking out of the City Gate, Chu Qiu’s heart was full of smugness, feeling that he had successfully put on a good show, greedily taking a deep breath of fresh air.

The smell of scorched earth and blood suddenly hit him, almost suffocating him.

The outside of the city was completely different from the picture he had sketched in his mind, what met his eyes was a scene of ruins.

Looking around, the broken houses were like severed limbs, the charred trees swayed in the wind, and the dilapidated roads were full of cracks…

Everything was scarred and silently telling of the past tragedy here.

“Is this war…”

Chu Qiu muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of unspeakable shock. His predecessor had lived in peaceful days for too long, making him almost forget the true face of the world.

Following the soldier’s guidance, Chu Qiu walked in one direction, which was the Exotic Beast release area specially opened by the army to train novice summoners.

Every month, a certain number of Exotic Beasts would be regularly released here for the summoners to fight and kill in actual combat, so that they could grow rapidly in the baptism of blood and fire.

Before long, he arrived at a deserted village, which had long lost its former vitality. The air was filled with roaring and hissing sounds, completely becoming a paradise for Exotic Beasts.

“Diting, let’s go.”

Chu Qiu whispered and quickly summoned the “Book of Life and Death”. With a light tap of his finger, he turned on the “Information Prompt”, and the BUFF was instantly stacked to the maximum.

Looking at Diting, which was the size of a calf and shimmering with Netherworld Flames, he instantly felt a surge of security.

“Tick, tock…”

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came, breaking the surrounding silence. Chu Qiu and Diting immediately stopped and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.

【Exotic Beast: Gale Wolf, Rank: Bronze Lv.7, Skill: None】.

An Exotic Beast that looked like a wolf but was more ferocious than a wolf, darted out of the darkness, its eyes flashing with bloodthirsty coldness.

“Flame Storm!”

Diting growled, its muscles tensed, and raging Netherworld Flames suddenly ignited, instantly turning into a scorching storm, sweeping towards the Gale Wolf.

After a moment, the Gale Wolf had turned into a pile of charcoal, falling powerlessly to the ground.

Along the way, Chu Qiu and Diting encountered many Exotic Beasts, some as fierce as tigers, some as cunning as foxes. Even those rabbits that were usually docile had long lost their former innocence, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty coldness.

However, for some reason, these Exotic Beasts, which were also at the Bronze level, were far weaker than those in the Secret Realm, and were almost all killed by Diting with a single blow.

This made Chu Qiu feel a little disappointed, but it could be considered a gain and a loss. Although the Exotic Beasts here were weak, the Soul Shards they dropped were richer.

Just as he was secretly calculating in his mind, Diting suddenly stopped, its nose twitching slightly, as if sniffing some dangerous aura.

Chu Qiu’s heart tightened, and he immediately became alert. In this dangerous place, any slight disturbance could hide a deadly threat.

He summoned the “Book of Life and Death” again without hesitation, tapped his finger, and used the “Samsara Eye: Insight into the Future.”

Looking at the few Soul Shards he had left, Chu Qiu couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain, and then comforted himself, for the sake of safety, everything was worth it.

【Exotic Beast: Brutal Giant Bear, Rank: Bronze Lv.10, Skill: Berserk】.

After zooming in, Chu Qiu quickly saw a huge bear-like Exotic Beast, more than two meters tall, lying on a boulder and snoring loudly.

Diting pounced on the Giant Bear swiftly, its speed so fast that even the air seemed to be torn apart.

The Giant Bear was immersed in rest, and Diting’s sudden attack was like a thunderbolt, instantly waking it from its sleep.

It let out a deafening roar, and its huge body suddenly stood up, carrying a momentum of mountain collapse and ground split. With a punch, the fist wind howled, blasting towards Diting.

“Bang!”

A loud noise echoed in the air, Diting was blasted away by this powerful punch, tumbling several times in the air before barely stabilizing its body with its amazing agility and toughness.

“What strong power!”

Chu Qiu, who was watching from the side, exclaimed inwardly. The strength of this Giant Bear was obviously much stronger than any Exotic Beast he had encountered before.

A hint of playfulness flashed in Diting’s eyes, and it concentrated its energy, charging towards the Giant Bear again.

This time, it did not choose to confront the Giant Bear head-on, but cleverly circled around it, constantly looking for flaws.

The Giant Bear was played around by Diting, roaring again and again, but it could not hit the elusive Diting that was like a ghost.

Just then, Diting suddenly flashed and appeared behind the Giant Bear, revealing its sharp fangs, and bit towards the Giant Bear’s thick neck.

“Crack!”

With a loud cracking sound, the Giant Bear’s neck was directly bitten off, and its huge body fell down like a collapsing mountain, raising a cloud of dust.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a constipated expression appeared on Chu Qiu’s face, he had spent 500 Soul Shards, but only heard a cracking sound.

Fortunately, the System brought a trace of comfort in time. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and a grasshopper’s leg can also be used for three meals of wine. Let’s accumulate slowly.

Through this battle, Chu Qiu discovered that Diting was not only stubborn but also very cheap. It clearly had skills but didn’t use them, it just did it.

With the System’s reminder and Chu Qiu’s eagerness, Diting’s speed of hunting Exotic Beasts became faster, like a black whirlwind, moving freely in the village.

In less than an hour, it had already killed more than a dozen Exotic Beasts, and the number of Soul Shards finally reached 300 again.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for the rank upgrade, current rank: Bronze Summoner Lv.10.”

At this moment, the prompt sounded again, indicating that Chu Qiu had reached the peak of the Bronze Summoner.

Just as he was about to celebrate, a majestic giant tiger with ink-colored stripes, walked out of the village slowly with unruly steps.

In its deep eyes, there was a trace of domineering arrogance, and its whole body exuded a palpitating powerful aura.

【Exotic Beast: Mystic Shadow Overlord Tiger, Rank: Silver Rank Three, Skills: Beast Roar, Break Free】

Chu Qiu was shocked, he didn’t expect that such a powerful Silver-level Exotic Beast was hidden in this deserted village.

This was also the first time he faced a Silver-level Exotic Beast, and he couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive.

“Diting, be careful.”

Chu Qiu reminded in a low voice, his eyes locked on the Mystic Shadow Overlord Tiger.

A trace of solemnity also flashed in Diting’s eyes, obviously also feeling the power and extraordinary nature of this Exotic Beast.

“Roar!”

The Mystic Shadow Overlord Tiger suddenly let out a deafening roar, the sound exploding in the village like thunder, and pounced on Diting.

“Roar!”

Diting was not to be outdone, and responded with a deafening roar, meeting it head-on, and engaging in a fierce confrontation with the Mystic Shadow Overlord Tiger.
