Chapter 18

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The electric-type power of the evolved Deity Bear was almost earth-shattering, causing rumbling thunder and lightning in the surroundings!

The sky above the pool was pitch-black and gloomy!

The Deity Bear lowered its head and picked up the experience capsule floating on the pool. It turned around and looked at its master on its back.

Pa! Its saliva dripped down into the water, making Lin Bai feel disgusted!

This guy had evolved, but it still looked like a fool!

“Eat it.”

Lin Bai waved his hand and agreed helplessly and disdainfully.

With the Deity Bear’s current level, it would not be able to advance to the next stage in a short period of time. It was better to let it eat the Experience Capsule first and raise its level!

After receiving Lin Bai’s affirmative answer, the Deity Bear happily grabbed the Experience Capsule and ate it bite by bite.

The Experience Capsule was born naturally and was extremely hard. The Deity Bear ate it without hesitation!

Crack! Crack! Crack! The sound was extremely crisp!

Lin Bai patted the Deity Bear’s head, which was buried in its food, and ordered, “Let’s go ashore first.”

For beasts, their sense of territory was quite strong. Since the Pool Grass Shark, an elite beast, lived in this water, it was unlikely that other beasts would appear nearby.

Therefore, it was relatively quiet for him to stay here. He might as well plunder the surroundings.

The book had said that places where powerful beasts grew were usually lush with water and grass. There might even be treasures hidden there. Lin Bai estimated that he could take a look around!

Even if he encountered any situation, with the Deity Bear’s current strength, it should not be a problem for it to dominate the Flowing Water Plains!

As soon as Lin Bai went ashore and walked towards the high cliff by the pool, he suddenly heard a commotion!

It was the rustling sound of humans talking!

This sound was extremely soft. When the Pool Grass Shark was still alive just now, its heavy roar was enough to suppress it, so much so that even someone with sharp hearing like Lin Bai did not notice it!

‘There’s someone else here?’

Lin Bai did not let down his guard. This was not a town, but the wilderness. It was mostly a situation where Beast Tamers killed each other.

He ordered the Deity Bear to walk toward the source of the sound.

After pushing aside a thick patch of tall grass, Lin Bai saw a narrow hole.

The hole was so small that it should only be enough for an adult to bend over and barely enter.

Of course, this was not the Pool Grass Shark’s territory. Not to mention that the Pool Grass Shark did not live on land at all. Moreover, even if its body was cut into several pieces, it would not be able to fit into such a narrow hole!

Lin Bai casually put the Deity Bear, which was still immersed in eating the Experience Capsule, into the Beast Taming Space. He bent down and crawled into the hole!

The voice came from this hole, so he naturally wanted to find out!

This cave only looked narrow. After taking a few steps forward, it was still spacious enough for several people to walk at the same time!

As he walked deeper into the cave, the sounds in Lin Bai’s ears became more and more obvious. He could vaguely hear the voices of several men and women!

Lin Bai walked over openly and clearly saw a large group of men, women, old, and young sitting in the depths of the cave!

Their identities and clothes were different, and there was a huge difference in their ages. Other than most of the young people, there were also a few old people and two girls who looked to be less than five or six years old!

However, the only similarity was that without exception, their clothes were tattered, their faces were extremely haggard, and their expressions were filled with despair and exhaustion!

The sound that Lin Bai heard outside was actually not the sound of talking, but the sound of two little girls sobbing!

Hearing the footsteps, the group of people’s numb expressions suddenly changed, and they raised their heads warily!

Seeing that Lin Bai was a genuine human, a square-faced man in his forties in a suit asked in surprise!

“How did you get in?!”

On the right, a young girl with delicate and fair facial features was stunned. She seemed to have immediately guessed something and sighed.

“You met the Pool Grass Shark too?”

Her desperate tone was filled with pity. She looked at Lin Bai sympathetically and sighed.

Everyone had a hard life!

They were only ordinary people, not powerful Beast Tamers. For safety’s sake, they decided to form a team to cross the clear plains.

They did not expect to encounter such a desperate situation when they were about to leave the grassland. They were forced into a cave by the shark outside to escape.

Originally, when they came over, they had also hired a few rather powerful Beast Tamers as bodyguards, but without exception, they lost their lives in the mouths of sharks!

It had been almost three days! They had almost finished all the food and water they had brought over, but they had not found any possibility of survival!

The shark outside was a very powerful and ferocious wild beast. It had been guarding the entrance of the cave, waiting for them to go out and have a good meal. It couldn’t find any chance!

This sympathetic and tired look made Lin Bai immediately understand how their current predicament came about.

There was no need to think too much. This group of people must have encountered the Pool Grass Shark and had no choice but to hide in this cave. Once they went out, they would probably become delicacies in the Pool Grass Shark’s stomach!

What the young girl said was similar to what the others in the cave had guessed. They looked at each other and sighed in unison.

“Alas!”

The two children in the cave cried even harder, causing their mother to wipe her tears!

Were they really going to be trapped here and die?

The children’s cries were quite loud in the cave. Everyone was immersed in the sad atmosphere!

Lin Bai could only explain helplessly and asked, “It’s already safe outside. Are you guys going out?”

It was indeed safe outside. The only elite Pool Grass Shark had died under the lightning and thunder of the Deity Bear.

The mother holding the child looked up. Under her disheveled hair and face, her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She asked sadly and in disbelief, “Did the shark leave?”

“It’s dead.”

Lin Bai clapped his hands and answered straightforwardly. His gaze wandered around the cave, trying to think of something unusual.

“Ah! How is that possible!”

The square-faced middle-aged man in a suit narrowed his eyes and exclaimed!

“I was just passing by and got my familiar to take care of it,” he said nonchalantly.

Lin Bai walked around and confirmed that there were no treasures hidden in the hole before giving up in disappointment.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary employee and had read some martial arts and fantasy novels in his free time. In such a hidden cave near the elite monsters, he had to hide something good.

Lin Bai turned around and realized that the crying and wailing had stopped. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

The middle-aged man stared at him in shock. His hands trembled, and his face was filled with disbelief!

“You… you mean you killed that shark?! That’s at least a Heaven-rank beast above Level 40!”
