Chapter 38

By cooperating with Xiaowei and the Lord of Eternal Nightmare, he had actually killed a platinum-level tamed beast.

The three of them were very impressive when they joined forces.

Bai Ye, who was overwhelmed by emotions, looked down at his fists.

Had anyone seen fists of this size?

He could smash through one’s crown.

It felt good to land solid punches on the opponent.

The parasitic sect was no match for him.

Real men delivered solid punches.

This was his true power.

Indeed, this power felt right.

Although individual damage might be insufficient, group damage was certainly more than enough.

This was especially so when it came to average opponents.

The world had gone quiet with one punch.

Unfortunately, he had bruised his knuckles.

The soil and stones had not scratched his skin. Instead, he had been scratched by the broken bones of the weasel.

There were still some risks involved in fighting with a platinum-level opponent. This time, his opponent, the weasel, was not very good at fighting head-on.

It was more suitable for auxiliary roles and cursing roles.

Its abilities were mainly focused on casting illusions and curses. Unfortunately, it had been kept in check by the Lord of Eternal Nightmare.

The Lord of Eternal Nightmare was an expert at playing with illusions.

Illusions could work wonders, but they could also be useless.

If the illusions were very powerful, people might even doubt themselves and what they perceived.

This was because one could not tell whether what one saw was true or fake. One could not differentiate between an enemy and a friend.

One might even mistake friends for enemies and vice versa.

One’s senses were altered, and the universe was reversed.

However, once the illusion was detected, it would be useless.

Although it seemed as if Xiaowei had been the main attacker, in fact, the Lord of Eternal Nightmare’s ability had helped them win the fight.

Even though the weasel’s level was currently higher than that of the Lord of Eternal Nightmare, and hence the Nightmare Space could not completely affect it for the time being, it was due to the Lord of Eternal Nightmare’s ability that they had managed to lure the weasel out of the city and kill it by surprising it.

If the enemy was skilled in launching physical attacks or had mastered other output elemental skills… it might not be that easy to defeat them.

At this stage, a platinum-level tamed beast could harm the physical body that had been strengthened by the Super Dimension Mirror.

If his fingers were severed, they would really be gone.

It was a pity non-living objects could not be strengthened by the Super Dimension Mirror.

Otherwise, he could have put on a few more protective layers to protect his arms.

By the way, he had yet to touch the carcasses after defeating the enemy.

Bai Ye thought that it was a pity.

He could not go there right now. The big commotion that had just occurred must have alerted the people nearby. It was too late to go out of the city by himself now.

“She’s dead!?” Dong Shentong stood by the pit, looking down at the badly-mangled flesh in the pit, half of his face shrouded in the shadow of the night.

Someone who had been alive in the afternoon was gone now.

Others might not know Mei Quanhe. However, he had fought several times against her and was familiar with her aura.

The onlookers turned pale.

Although they were accustomed to dealing with death, it was rare for someone to die such a tragic death.

“It must have been a tamed beast and a Beast Tamer,” someone said in a deep voice.

“There was not much resistance. The other party simply tortured them to death.”

“Although the fur of the tamed beast has been soiled by mud, you can faintly see its yellow color, and the bones are gleaming like jade. It was at the very least at the gold level, so it was considered an expert.”

The audience speculated about the identity of the dead.

In the distance, a man came galloping on a black fox.

The black fox had red flames on its feet and had three tails, so it was exuding an extraordinary aura.

“A platinum-level beast!” the man, who jumped from the back of the black fox, said with certainty when he looked at the corpse in the pit.

He seemed to be very certain.

This caused yet another commotion among the onlookers.

This person was none other than Wang Qing, the police chief of the security department of the 36th Base City in the south.

He was very experienced and had cracked countless cases.

People who were at the platinum level were generally widely known by others. This was especially so in places like the 36th Base City in the south, where every platinum-level expert was well-known.

“Chief Wang, have you discovered anything else?” the onlookers asked.

Wang Qing did not reply. Instead, he stared down at the corpse.

He looked down at his partner next to him.

The black fox shook its head. It had found no traps nearby.

After putting on shoe covers and gloves, Wang Qing jumped into the pit, squatted down, and looked around in the badly-mangled flesh.

Soon, a crystal-clear green piece of jade was found. There were cracks on its surface.

However, one could still see the pattern on the front side of the jade.

A plum blossom had been carved on it.

“Plum blossom,” Wang Qing muttered to himself, seemingly enlightened.

“There seems to be a family in the 6th Base City in the west that also uses plum blossoms as its family emblem. Could they be related to this?”

Other police officers from the security department came slowly, taking a long time to reach the scene.

Other people were also going out of the city further behind the scene.

There was a lot of commotion around.

It was like thunder, booming and loud.

Many people must have been awakened in the middle of the night.

Everyone had thought that this was yet another beast tide wave.

“It should not be someone from the Base City,” Wang Qing said.

Right now, he was reluctant to investigate this further.

The victims had nothing to do with the Base City.

Therefore, there was no need to intervene.

However, this was his duty, so Wang Qing still ordered people to get nearby residents and ask them about what had happened there not long ago.

“A giant hand fell from the sky and slammed on the ground as if it was smacking a mosquito. By the way, a chicken claw as big as that hand also fell from the sky near the end.”

The residents had not dared go near but had watched from a distance.

“Could that belong to a certain race?” Someone interrupted.

They made a bold guess.

Could the crack actually lead them to another dimension?

Another dimension existed everywhere in the universe, and various mysterious monsters existed in other dimensions.

Could this crack lead to another dimension somewhere, where there were such huge monsters?

Some people were silent, but their eyes flickered.

They were a little excited.

It might be of great help if this giant monster could be subdued as their own tamed beast.

Its combat power aside, the sheer size of the monster already had many uses.

They could earn lots of money by moving bricks.

“Take pictures, put the corpse and the nearby soil into a bag, and seal them up,” Wang Qing said.

If someone who knew the victim wanted an explanation, they could just hand the photos of the scene and the corpse to them. If not, they could set this case aside.

This was the suburbs. To be exact, this place was not within the city’s jurisdiction.

It was not within the security department’s jurisdiction either.

Besides, to be able to kill a platinum-level Beast Tamer, the murderer had to be at the platinum level as well.

Many onlookers were speculating that the victim might have been killed by a monster and there might be another dimension near the Base City.

Many people gathered in groups.

Some even began to search around.

However, Wang Qing had a feeling that the murderer was not a monster. Instead, there must have been a personal vendetta between the victim and the murderer.

He did not share his thoughts with anyone.

He had no intention of getting involved in this matter. It was the Federal Government that paid him, not the big and established families.

He had not been appointed as the police chief because he was good at solving crimes but because he was not nosy.

Dong Shentong returned to the city silently.

It was a dark night, but there were warm lights by the roadside.

Long shadows were cast on the roads.

He turned his head to look at the quiet residential area no. 54. The large community was silent.

Was it him?

Perhaps this was the backup left behind?

Dong Shentong thought silently to himself as he unknowingly walked downstairs.

He suddenly realized what he was doing and looked up at the fourth floor. After a moment of silence, without going upstairs, he turned and left.

On the fourth floor, Bai Ye stood by the window, watching Dong Shentong’s back.

Perhaps he had guessed it, but no one had any evidence.

He still needed some time before the Lord of Eternal Nightmare and Xiaowei improved even more.
