Chapter 32: This Good Luck Charm is a bit Absurdl

Xu Ran fell silent.

He understood the logic behind what Liu Gu said. The choice between saving a few people and saving an entire city was not one that required hesitation.

But when the person being abandoned was himself, he found it difficult to accept.

That’s right, the Good Luck Charm!

A spark of hope lit up in Xu Ran’s eyes as he tightly gripped the Good Luck Charm hidden in his collar.

It’s time for you to help, damn System!

Realizing the danger of the situation, Ziyun, who was curled up in Xu Ran’s arms, squeezed out from his armpit and lightly jumped onto his shoulder. Its colorful pupils shrunk to pinpoints, looking at the Beast Tide surging in from afar.

Streaks of electricity bounced off its body, Ziyun was ready to strike, preparing for the attack.

“Meow!” (“I’m here, nobody can hurt my Beast Master!”)

“Armored Rhinoceros, pull yourself together!” Du Heng’s face was tense as he commanded.

The Armored Rhinoceros, carrying everyone, quickly rallied. After a low roar, it sprinted in the direction guided by Zhang Yun.

Looking down from the sky, one could see that the path the Armored Rhinoceros chose was almost perpendicular to the direction of the Beast Tide. With its speed, it should be able to safely escape the area of impact before the Beast Tide arrives.

If everything goes well, they just need to wait out in the wild until the Beast Tide is driven away by the City Defense Beast Masters, and then find an opportunity to return to the city.

As the captain of a Hunting Squad who had been fighting and adventuring outside the city for many years, Zhang Yun demonstrated his extensive experience at this moment, making the best decision.

However, mishaps always occur when they are least expected.

Seemingly intrigued by the sound of the Armored Rhinoceros’s wild gallop, a strange bird hovering in the sky gave a ferocious screech, its gaze directed towards the Tiger Hunting Squad.

The next instant, a small section of the Beast Tide unexpectedly broke off from the main body and started to surround them.

Although it was insignificant compared to the entire Beast Tide, this small detachment of Transcendent Beings numbered dozens, maybe hundreds, most of whom were of the Elite Stage!

“Captain! They are coming!” Yan Fan’s voice became unnaturally shrill due to the fear, “There are ones that can fly!”

Zhang Yun turned his head to look, his pupils instantly contracted.

Ignoring the Transcendent Beings running rampant on the ground for now, the few in the air, getting rapidly closer and thus bigger in his field of view, were charging towards them.

Their speed was much faster than the Armored Rhinoceros!

Zhang Yun let out a loud yell, “Cold Scale Python, Ice Storm!”

“Hiss???? ”

A substratal, monstrous hiss happened and chilling light flickered across the crystal-like scales on the Cold Scale Python’s body. An energy surge then formed in its mouth.

“Whoosh!!!”

With a low, rumbling roar, the storm spewed forth, enveloping the strange birds attacking from the sky.

The extreme cold contained within the storm instantly condensed the water vapor in the air into countless tiny ice crystals. These ice crystals, like sharp knives, were whipped by the storm and harshly embedded into the bodies of the strange birds.

Furthermore, the extreme cold followed the wounds and surged into the bodies of the creatures, letting out collective howls of pain before they hurriedly retreated.

Two Stars Skills, Waning Moon Level Ice Storm!

As the team leader, Zhang Yun’s Cold Scale Python was almost half a step into the Leadership Stage from the Elite Stage. Its Skill Proficiency was also far beyond the Starlight Level, much higher – Waning Moon Level!

So terrifying was its power with one strike!

“Move!”

Zhang Yun’s face showed no sign of triumph after his successful move.

He had experienced a Beast Tide once before, so he knew very well the terror of it.

Even a more powerful Leadership Stage Pet Beast couldn’t resist the endless Beast Tide. If trapped, they could only be devoured by the Beast Tide!

It seemed like the Tiger Hunting Squad had caused a bit of trouble. More Transcendent Beings separated from the main body of the Beast Tide, coming in from another side to surround them.

The situation was becoming increasingly dire.

Transcendent Beings with higher intelligence knew how to cooperate.

The hunting squad raced on in silence. Any Transcendent Being that tried to get close was promptly pushed back by their Pet Beasts.

However, the circle formed by the Transcendent Beings was closing in. Their attempts at resistance seemed futile.

Xu Ran hugged Ziyun, who was now a bit fatigued and spitting out sparks of Electric Spark. He tightly held the Good Luck Charm that still hadn’t shown any effect. He had already cursed the damn system a thousand times in his mind. “System, stop playing dead! Hurry up and make the Good Luck Charm work!” “If I die, you won’t have a Host anymore!”

“System, you…”

“Hum ”

Accompanied by a low hum, the Good Luck Charm in Xu Ran’s hand suddenly started to vibrate.

“…you really are my treasure!”

Having changed his words quickly in his mind, Xu Ran looked on as the Good Luck Charm crumbled to ashes and dissipated. His look of joy abruptly came to a halt.

What the hell?

Did it take effect, or did it fail?

Just as he was caught off guard, a low roar filled with rage and wrapped in the shockwave came rolling in from afar.

“Filthy beasts! Die!”

Accompanied by the sound echoing throughout the sky, a terrifying presence quickly approached from a certain direction outside the city.

Feeling just a whiff of the presence, all the Transcendent Beings surrounding the Tiger Hunting Squad fell to the ground, trembling.

Even though the suppression wasn’t targeted at them, the Pet Beasts in the hunting squad couldn’t help but stir.

This was the natural suppression lower-ranking Transcendent Beings felt when encountering a higher-ranking existence!

It wasn’t Elite Stage, or the Leadership Stage above the Elite Stage, but… “General Stage!” Zhang Yun exclaimed, immediately followed by joy, “We’re saved!”

Just a moment ago, he was preparing to have a life-and-death struggle with those beasts; he didn’t anticipate such a turn in the next second.

General stage?

Xu Ran stared, dumbfounded, at the sky.

A small black dot on the horizon quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, becoming gradually clearer.

It was a giant black dragon, over ten meters long, with a wingspan of over twenty meters when fully spread. Its dark scales gleaming profoundly under the sunlight, and its blood-red eyes were pulsating with a cold bloodlust.

On top of this dragon’s head, stood a man.

Compared to the dragon’s massive body size, he seemed quite tiny.

But this man had a strong presence that dominated over the giant dragon.

“Boom???? ”

The dragon flapped its wings, hovering over the Tiger Squad. The recoil stirred up a wild storm, casually blowing away the Transcendent Beings crouching on the ground like trash.

“Just in time.” The man on top of the dragon grumbled, “Red-eyed Demon Dragon, cool them off!”

“Roar???? ”

The Pet Beast referred to as the Red-eyed Demon Dragon let out a roar. A stream of dark energy burst from its mouth, furiously sweeping towards the direction of the main Beast Tide.

Any creature it touched would instantaneously dissolve into nothingness, not even leaving any traces of blood or flesh.

The assault of the Beast Tide abruptly came to a halt.

Beneath, Xu Ran’s face gradually lit up with excitement.

Don’t tell me, this is the effect of the Good Luck Charm?!

(It’s the start of a new month, let’s charge ahead if you haven’t invested before!)
