There were five pets attacking just one giant wasp, and it was already so difficult. If they were to be stung by the stinger and thereby lose their ability to fight, then they would lose the fight for sure!

Xiao Yi decided to sacrifice himself.

Seeing that the giant wasp was about to fire the stinger again, Xiao Yi decisively ordered, “Crystal Scorpion, quickly go!”

The Giant Crystal Scorpion jumped at the sting with all its might!

In the next second, the sting pierced through the scorpion’s body.

However, the poisonous sting on its tail also successfully pierced the giant wasp!

The intense venom was poured into the wasp without any regard for its life!

The giant wasp tilted its body and fell to the ground, twitching in pain.

The Lunar Direwolf bit its stomach and tore it open.

The giant wasp was dead.

The battle was over.

At the same time, the bodies of Xiao Yi and the giant crystal scorpion lit up with a white light at the same time and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Fei said in shock, “Where has Xiao Yi gone?”

Ling Xuewei said, “It’s probably because his pet has completely lost its combat ability and was eliminated.”

In order to ensure the safety of the freshmen, there was a special restriction inside the beast tower that automatically monitored the condition of the students and their pets.

Once they discovered that their pets had lost the ability to fight, or that their students’ lives were in danger, they would immediately activate the protection function and be teleported out together with their pets.

Ye Fei sighed in his heart.

However, he quickly adjusted his state of mind.

“He was eliminated in order to fight for a chance for us… we can’t let his sacrifice be in vain. We have to bring his share with us and work harder!”

Qing Kui said, “Although he was eliminated, he can continue watching our trial from the outside through the live broadcast. We can’t let him down. We have to work harder!”

Outside the Beast Taming Tower, Xiao Yi had just been teleported out when he heard Ye Fei and Qing Kui’s words on the live broadcast screen. His heart immediately warmed up.

“As expected, I didn’t sacrifice myself in vain… everything was worth it!”

Xiao Yi felt that it was very worth it to sacrifice one of himself in exchange for the entire team to continue moving forward!

He quickly found a suitable spot and sat down to watch the live broadcast.

The commentator outside the arena was introducing Ye Fei and the others —

“The team that everyone is seeing now is the second team to successfully make it to the seventh level in this trial.”

“Will they make it to the seventh floor, or will they be like the previous team and die in front of the iron-armored pig? Let’s wait and see.”

Hearing that the final boss of the seventh floor was actually the iron-armored pig, Xiao Yi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

“The iron-armored pig is famous for its strong defense and fierce attack… I hope they can make it.”

Ye Fei and the others in the arena did not know what was waiting for them at the bottom of the stage.

Ye Fei used the blade of the nine-leaf sword grass to continuously eliminate the mid-to-low-level fierce beasts blocking the way, bringing both Qing Kui and Ling Xuewei forward.

Compared to the other groups, their speed was not fast, but it was the steadiest.

Qing Kui was a little impatient, and she could not help but order the little white tiger to attack a few times.

Ye Fei immediately said to her, “Be careful and conserve your strength. We don’t know what kind of fierce beast we’ll encounter later. There’s no need to let little white tiger attack such a low-level fierce beast.”

“Alright then,” Qing Kui obediently withdrew the little white tiger and let it continue to recover its strength.

The Lunar Direwolf and Ling Xuewei’s rose were also recovering, all relying on the nine-leaf sword grass to clear the monsters for them.

Naturally, their speed was very slow.

The audience outside the arena yawned out of boredom.

Someone could not help but complain, “Why are they being so careful… It’s a waste of time!”

“With their team configuration, they don’t even have a damage-resistant player. How can they possibly beat the armored pig… When the time comes, the armored pig will eliminate them with just one charge!”

“When they see the armored pig, they will definitely regret clearing the monsters so slowly and wasting so much time here.”

..

The audience was chattering. They were all complaining.

No one believed that Ye Fei and the others could clear the seventh floor.

Even the commentator outside the arena kept saying that even if Ye Fei and the others could not beat the iron-armored pig, they would still be ranked second in the trial.

The meaning behind his words was that he did not think Ye Fei and the others would be able to clear the seventh floor.

After all, not many teams had been able to clear the seventh floor since the establishment of the school.

The few teams that could clear the seventh floor were all elites. Their pet skills were well-coordinated, and they worked well together.

For teams like Ye Fei and the others that did not have tanks, healers, or even a single person, it would be a miracle if they could clear the seventh floor.

On the live broadcast screen, Ye Fei and the others encountered a small pack of wolves.

Including the alpha wolf, there were a total of eight wolves. Their strength levels ranged from four-star black iron to two-star silver.

Strangely, Ye Fei did not kill them.

He only used the nine-leaf sword grass’s roots to bind and control them.

Seeing his actions, the audience outside the stadium felt very puzzled.

“He could have killed them, but he insisted on keeping them alive. What is he trying to do? Keep them for the New Year?”

“Could it be that he wants to tame this pack of wolves? He’s overestimating himself… These are beasts on the seventh floor of the Beast Tower! Does he think they’re the same as those outside?”

“Maybe because they are also his pet’s kind and therefore he couldn’t bear to kill them.”

“That’s too confusing…”

The audience discussed among themselves, guessing Ye Fei’s motive.

Their words were full of sarcasm.

It was as if Ye Fei’s behavior was a big joke to them.

Even the commentator said that Ye Fei’s decision was very unwise, wasting the pet’s energy for nothing.

Only one person did not laugh at Ye Fei’s behavior.

On the contrary, Xiao Yi, who was full of excitement, believed that this round would definitely be conquered by Ye Fei.

Xiao Yi had personally seen how powerful the Lunar Direwolf’s summoning ability was!

Therefore, he knew what Ye Fei was trying to do by deliberately leaving behind this small wolf pack!

“This round has already been secured,” Xiao Yi muttered softly.

A youth sitting next to him heard this and could not help but retort, “Secure what? With their team configuration… eh? You’re the one that was eliminated from their team? Oh, then it’s understandable.”

The youth very “considerately” took care of Xiao Yi’s emotions and did not continue to speak.

Xiao Yi could not be bothered to argue with him because he knew that before the final actual result was out, even if he were to speak his mind, the other party would not listen to a single word he said.

So why bother wasting his breath?

But if he did not say anything, it would appear as if he had tacitly agreed to something. Hence, he only said one sentence —

“When they pass the test later, just don’t drop your jaw in shock.”

The youth sneered and did not say anything.

It was obvious he felt that Xiao Yi was blindly confident and had no idea about the true power of his team.
