"Ding! You have successfully purchased a Class E Battle Card. Please check and accept!" The system beeped.
Wu Ming reached out his hand and saw a glowing orange card in his palm. The card was spinning slowly.
"So, this is the Class E Battle Card 'Soul Reaper Claw.' It looks magical, like a holographic image."
Wu Ming pinched the Class E Battle Card and stuck it on the Ghost Cat's forehead. The Ghost Cat absorbed the card and made it one of its trump cards.
"Meow, meow, meow!"
The Ghost Cat let out an intoxicated cry after absorbing the energy of the Battle Card. It was as comfortable as a lazy lady in a hot spring.
Wu Ming patted the Ghost Cat's head. When he had enough evolution points, he would make some food for the Ghost Cat that could increase its potential so that it could advance to Class E or even Class D.
"I have 150 evolution points left. I'll save them for now and use them when I need them." Wu Ming told the Ghost Cat to keep watch while he went to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Wan Siyu had been waiting at the door of the pet store with two love-filled breakfasts. She didn't walk in until Wu Ming opened the door.
"Brother Wu, are you leaving today?" Wan Siyu put the breakfast on the table. She was worried.
Wu Ming put the key to the pet store on the table. "Yes, I'm leaving today. I'm not sure about the exact time. I think it'll be in the morning!
Right, here's the key to the door. Huang Sanba and I won't be coming back tonight. Remember to lock the door after you get off work in the afternoon. "
"Of course, if you want to sleep here tonight, that's fine too," Wu Ming added with a smile.
"Brother Wu, are you hinting that I'm going to stay overnight?" Wan Siyu wondered. Her ears were red.
Ding dong!
The VX system beeped.
Wu Ming turned on his phone and saw that it was a voice message from Xu Qianqian.
"H.e. Wu Ming, leave the city at eight this morning. I'll send a car to pick you up at half past seven."
These were Xu Qianqian's exact words.
Wu Ming picked up his phone and replied, "No problem, I'm ready."
When he woke up this morning, Wu Ming had already packed a change of clothes, some first aid medicine, dry food, a bottle of water, and a power bank in his backpack.
Although he had 100 cubic meters of system space and could store a lot of things, this was a secret and could not be revealed to others.
Therefore, Wu Ming deliberately carried a backpack as a cover.
As for most of the items, they were hidden in the System Space. They would only be taken out at a critical moment.
"Brother Wu, I'm here."
At the same time, Huang Sanba had just arrived at the pet store. He didn't bring anything with him. He had his hands in his pockets, looking quite dashing.
"You didn't bring anything?"
"Yes, I did. Big Bear is carrying it!"
Wu Ming looked at the door and saw the Mighty Bear crawling in. The Mighty Bear was carrying an oversized backpack with a capacity of at least 100 liters. The backpack was enough for the Mighty Bear to live in the wild for half a month.
"Damn, you even brought a blow-up doll and a pump. I have to hand it to you!"
Wu Ming opened the backpack on the Mighty Bear's back and found a set of things inside. He was speechless.
"Pfft!" Wan Siyu burst out laughing.
Huang Sanba said matter-of-factly, "This is a normal physiological need. It's human nature. Brother Wu, when are you leaving? If it's still early, I can get you a set of clothes and lubricant."
"Huang Sanba, you scoundrel!" Before Wu Ming could say anything, Wan Siyu had blushed.
Wu Ming was embarrassed. He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was almost 7: 30. He changed the subject. "Stop joking. Mr. Xu sent me a message. He'll pick us up at 7: 30. It's about time.
Since we still have time, let's see if there's anything we need to bring. "
"No," Huang Sanba said with certainty.
Wu Ming nodded. "Okay. Let's take a break."
7: 30.
The powerful roar of the engine was heard.
A Big M SUV parked in front of the pet store. A fully-armed bodyguard got out. He was about 1.9 meters tall and wore sunglasses. He looked as ferocious as a beast.
"H.e. Wu Ming, please get in."
Big M was spacious. The back seat of the third row was removed so the Mighty Bear could lie there. Wu Ming and Huang Sanba sat in the second row.
"Let's go!"
The Big M SUV roared and drove away. Under Wan Siyu's worried gaze, it disappeared around the corner of the street.
No one knew that one kilometer away from the pet store, someone was standing behind a reflective glass with a pair of binoculars. He was looking in the direction the car had left.
"The prey has left the city. It's time to hunt!"
…
Sitting in the car, Wu Ming felt very comfortable.
Looking at the things passing by outside the window, Wu Ming gradually saw a wall about 30 meters high in the distance. It was made of cement bricks and was very thick and solid.
"Brother Wu, we're at the city wall," Huang Sanba said.
"Okay, I see." Wu Ming nodded.
City walls!
As far as Wu Ming knew, this was something that only existed in ancient times.
But now, in this world where ferocious beasts ran rampant, every city and town had to build a strong enough wall to stop the invasion of those unranked ferocious beasts.
As for the ferocious beasts with ranks, naturally, they couldn't be stopped by walls. Instead, the Beast Tamers in the city would be there to protect the safety of the citizens.
Not long after.
The Big M SUV Wu Ming was in arrived at the city gate. He saw more than a dozen other Big M vehicles, as well as a huge armored vehicle with powerful cannons installed on it.
"I sense the aura of Beast Tamers. There are two of them and both of them are at Rank F!"
Wu Ming looked at one of the cars and suddenly realized that he had this strange feeling. It seemed to be the side effect of the "Eye of Insight."
"System, I can sense the presence of Beast Tamers nearby?" Wu Ming hurried to ask the system.
"Yes. With the host's current ability, once a ferocious beast or Beast Tamer appears within a radius of 100 meters, they will be sensed," the system explained.
Wu Ming was happy.
In the wild, this ability could be said to be crazy and could be very useful.
Xu Qianqian jumped out of one of the cars and knocked on Wu Ming's car window. "H.e. Wu Ming, you're here?"
"Mm, I'm here. Are we going straight to Yaotao Ancient Town?" Wu Ming asked.
Xu Qianqian nodded lightly. "Yes, we might not stop on the way. So, Huang Sanba's mission can be to hunt ferocious beasts in the vicinity after arriving at Yaotao Ancient Town."
"Okay."
Wu Ming agreed. After all, he was hitching a ride from someone else. He still had to listen to Xu Qianqian when it came to the itinerary.
Another ten minutes passed. It was eight o 'clock sharp.
The alloy steel gates of Garan Castle finally opened. This large fleet of more than a dozen cars quickly left the city limits and sped along the dilapidated roads.
Wu Ming didn't roll down the car window, because it was a little dangerous.
Once they left the city, they could occasionally see wild beasts running along the road. Some of them were even ungraded ferocious beasts.
As for Rank F and Rank E ferocious beasts, they rarely appeared near the city. Once they appeared, it meant danger.
