Chapter 189: Beast wave (1)

According to the scouts that Brainy had sent out, this was a beast wave of over a thousand beasts that was currently charging in their direction.

Then based on the aura that Brainy felt after sending some of its scouts closer, it could tell that this wasn't a simple beast wave. Among the beasts in the beast wave, there were plenty of Gold Realm beasts and many Platinum Realm beasts!

Counting them all, there were actually over a hundred beasts that were in the Gold Realm and there were five Platinum Realm beasts that were leading them.

The strangest thing about this beast wave was that the beasts didn't just move in a large group, rather they were split into five different groups which each had a Platinum Realm beast leading the way.

Based on how they were moving, this beast wave didn't seem like a normal beast wave. If Lin Fan didn't know better, it seemed like there was someone controlling these beasts.

But that just confirmed his theory, whoever the murderer was, they had already betrayed the human race and were working with the Beast Clan.

While the others were still confused, Lin Fan turned and shouted, "Everyone, get ready to fight! It's a beast wave!"

The others were all shocked when they heard this, but they all reacted quickly by taking out their weapons.

Yue Jin quickly asked, "Do you know how many there are?"

Lin Fan explained quickly as well, "There are over a thousand of them and there are a hundred Gold Realm beasts and five Platinum Realm beasts!"

The faces of the young geniuses fell when they heard this.

If it was a normal beast wave, there wouldn't be a problem, but this was a beast wave with a hundred Gold Realm beasts.

If had to be known, counting them all, there were only nine of them present. While Lin Fan might be in the Platinum Realm, just him alone wouldn't be able to take care of five Platinum Realm beasts. Even if he were to have pets, at most he would have just a single pet in the Platinum Realm which would be his main pet while the rest would probably be in the Gold Realm.

This was a very normal case on the Blue Star Planet.

It was hard work training a pet, so most people focused on training a single main pet that they grew with. They only trained auxiliary pets when they needed them for trivial matters.

Only in rare cases would an expert have more than one pet that was on the same level as them.

Then there was Angela who would probably be on the same level as Lin Fan since she came with him, so that would only be another two Platinum Realm Experts.

This would be a total of four Platinum Realm Experts which meant that they were still one short.

Not to mention that there were also a hundred Gold Realm beasts.

Even if they were all geniuses who could fight enemies that were at a higher level, they were also humans in the end and had a limited amount of life energy. They could defeat more than one Gold Realm beast by themself, but they would run out of energy eventually and be overwhelmed.

One of them began turning around, looking for an escape route, but there was no such thing present.

If they were to run, they wouldn't be able to do so since they were focused more on power than on speed. They wouldn't be able to outrun the Platinum Realm beast with their speed and if they were caught alone by the Platinum Realm beast, it would be hard for them to escape in one piece.

Lin Fan saw the difficult looks on the faces of the young geniuses before turning to Yue Jin and saying, "You can hold off one Platinum Realm beast, right?"

Yue Jin heard this and knit his brows. This was something that concerned his trump card and if he were to reveal it now, that would put him in a bad situation. However, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he had no choice at all. If he didn't use it now, there would be no chance of survival.

Yue Jin gave a sigh before saying, "I can, but I can't last that long."

Lin Fan gave a nod and said, "I don't need long, Angela and I can take care of four of them, you just need to hold it off long enough for us to finish. Once we're done with our opponent, we'll be able to come and help you finish off the one you're stalling."

The others heard this and were skeptical at first, but they soon accepted this fact.

Lin Fan was someone who had been sent here by the Monster Trainer Union, so he definitely was a genius himself and was definitely strong enough to take on Platinum Realm beasts. Angela was someone who walked with him side by side, which meant she must be as strong as him.

After Lin Fan said this, he gave a snap and Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei came out. Xiao Huo came out behind him and Xiao Lei came out behind Angela, making it seem like Angela had summoned Xiao Lei.

In truth, Lin Fan was only worried about the implications of the beast wave, he wasn't actually worried about the beast wave itself.

From Brainy's scouting, he knew that these five Platinum Realm beasts were all only in the low Platinum Realm. Then among the Gold Realm beasts, there were only ten of them that were in the peak Gold Realm.

Just Brainy alone was already enough to take care of them since Brainy was already in the mid Platinum Realm just like Lin Fan. With its seeds, Brainy could easily take control of the leaders of the beast wave, creating a strong army in an instant. Once the leaders of the beast wave fell under his control, he could easily route the rest of the beasts just with Brainy.

Not to mention that he had four other pets that were all in the high Platinum Realm.

Any one of those four pets would be able to destroy this entire beast wave by themselves, but Lin Fan didn't have his pets do this.

He could have even destroyed the entire beast wave himself since he was already someone who could fight someone in the low Fragmented Soul Realm himself.

But he didn't do that and wanted to act like he was in trouble for two reasons.

The first was that he was certain whoever was controlling this beast wave would be watching. He wanted to give them the false impression that he was much weaker than he actually was to make them underestimate him.

The second was that he wanted to smoke out the traitor among them. When the girl in the lolita dress had been kidnapped, Brainy could tell that it wasn't any of them that had done it since it had been tracking all the others with its new seeds the entire time. That meant that someone was coordinating with the Beast Clan on this, so they would definitely show mistakes here.

Angela didn't understand Lin Fan's plan, but she could tell what Lin Fan wanted her to do through his words.

The fact that he said four beasts and summoned two pets out, it meant that he wanted her to only take care of one beast, so that was what she would do.

After being together for some time, she had become much better at picking up clues from just Lin Fan's words.

Yue Jin nodded when he saw the beasts appear behind Lin Fan and Angela. With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a bow from his ring and prepared for battle.

Based on the aura that came from the bow, the others could easily tell that this was a Platinum Realm Artifact and it wasn't a low ranking artifact. Based on the aura, it was probably a high Platinum Realm Artifact or even a peak Platinum Realm Artifact.

Once this bow appeared in his hand, Yue Jin's aura was also revealed and the others could tell that he was already in the peak Gold Realm, as opposed to them who were all in the high Gold Realm.

Yan Huo revealed a conflicted look when he sensed this.

Lin Fan was one thing since he was clearly a monster found by the Monster Trainer Union, but now even Yue Jin was stronger than him. They were all from the same generation, but Yue Jin had somehow taken this step before him.

Before this training trip, he had been confident that he was the strongest among his generation, but now that confidence had been completely shattered by everything that had happened.

He was now even more determined to set his and her plan into motion since he would not allow anyone to be above him.

Still, it wasn't the time for that now, so he put away those feelings. For now, what they had to do was take care of this beast wave and survive.

The rest of them all summoned out their Gold Realm pets and created a formation.

The formation they took had Lin Fan, Angela, and Yue Jin, as well as Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei standing in the front to bear the brunt of the Platinum Realm beasts attack while the rest cut off the Gold Realm beasts to stop them from helping the Platinum Realm beasts.

This formation was completely gambling on Lin Fan and Angela, but they had no choice right now because a few seconds after they took this formation, the heads of the beasts poked out of the forest.
