STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Dilapidated shed:

Hiss!

After intimidating, the black snake started moving towards the prey. It could only sense the prey was not far from its position. The prey was not moving at all. It was staying in one position.

When the black snake got closer, it was actually a few meters away from the poison bomb. The snake’s elongated body eventually moved over the concrete floors.

Boom!

The poison bombs hidden beneath the concrete floors were triggered. The next second, the bomb went off with an explosion.

Hiss!

The snake’s body was thrown away because of the impact. The shockwave spread across the area. At the same time, a green poisonous gas started to spread as well.

Jeremy, who was practicing inside the tent, was woken up by the practice. He immediately felt a sense of crisis. He opened the tent and saw the scene outside.

The place was covered with green poison gas. Jeremy was shocked to the core. He immediately held his breath and took his katana out.

At the same time, he swallowed an anti-poison pill. The pill would protect him from the poisonous gas.

Hiss!

The next second, he heard a loud hiss coming from outside.

Jeremy broke out in a cold sweat. The sound of the beast was terrifying. He thought that the beast was not a low-tier beast.

It must be a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast or above. Since a dense green poisonous gas had covered the area, it wouldn’t be easy for a Tier-4 Beast to come at him.

He had bought this poison bomb to deal with Tier-3 and Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts. But he still had doubts in his heart about whether the powerful poison could affect the snake beast, which was a poisonous beast itself.

Hiss!

The black snake, which had collapsed under the rubble, emerged again. Dents could be seen on its body as the poisonous gas tried to cause holes to appear in its crystal black scales.

Yet the crystal scales on its back were so powerful that the poisonous gas was not enough to completely break them.

Hiss!

The snake hissed out again. It was clearly facing a threat right now. The forked tongue appeared and located the prey.

Swoosh!

Its huge elongated body dashed towards the prey. But the dense poisonous gas had covered the surroundings. If it wanted to reach the prey, it would have to go through the poisonous mists again.

On the other hand, Jeremy realized the threat he was facing. He immediately turned on the gadget and illuminated the area.

Swoosh!

When the light appeared, he saw how the green poison covered the place like mist. The next second, he saw a black shadow enter the mist in a flash.

A hint of fear flashed in Jeremy’s eyes. He gripped the katana tightly and started to use the starlight energy. The starlight energy in his mental zone was full.

As he tried to imbue the starlight energy into the katana blade, he saw a huge black snake emerge from the poisonous mists while its back was lit with green flames.

The green flame was nothing but poison that had attached to its back. Jeremy’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t expect the snake beast to be this fierce.

It basically emerged from the poisonous mists. When the snake beast got closer, he realized that it was a Tier-4 Beast. So fear didn’t affect him; he had faced a Tier-4 Beast before.

Compared to the Tier-4 Rat Beast, this one was really dangerous.

”Explosive Steps!”

He used the movement technique to burst forth with great speed. At the right moment, he evaded the direct confrontation with the beast.

Then he purposely started running into the poisonous mist. He had swallowed an anti-poison pill. Despite some skin-burning side effects, he wouldn’t die from the poison.

Boom!

The black snake, with its huge body, ramped into the tent. The tent was destroyed on the spot. But the beast had crossed over the poison bomb again.

The explosion occurred. The impact force sent the snake beast flying.

Hiss!

Now the whole snake beast body was engulfed in green flames.

Jeremy’s eyes flashed with surprise. He almost forgot about the rest of the bombs under the concrete. If the snake beast appeared again, he would lead it to the remaining eight poison bombs.

Hiss!

But to his surprise, the snake beast fled from the rundown shed and disappeared into the vegetation. Seeing that, Jeremy sighed inwardly.

He still underestimated the corrupted beasts living in this forbidden area. Fortunately, the number of poison bombs posed a threat to the corrupted beasts.

The two poison bombs had forced the Tier-4 Beast to flee. Unless a Tier-5 Corrupted Beast or above came to his area, he could practice here until then.

Jeremy then took back his gadget, which was flashing light right now. He turned off the light. He didn’t want the light to attract powerful beasts at midnight.

One Tier-4 snake beast was enough to scare him. Jeremy then started to go through the damaged tent. It could be rearranged. Fortunately, only some of the sheets were torn.

But he didn’t mind it. He then rearranged the tent and went inside to lie down. It was impossible for him to use the breathing method right now. It would take a few hours for the poisonous mists to disappear.

So he had to stay quiet for now. On the other hand, his unknown lifeline egg beast continued to absorb natural energy from this place, including the poison.

He smiled helplessly. Then Jeremy closed his eyes and stayed vigilant. The Tier-4 Black Snake had ruined his sleep. He didn’t dare to fall asleep again.

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Eventually, the dark night was gone. The sunrise appeared. Jeremy opened his eyes and stepped outside the tent. He then saw how much destruction had happened last night.

The old concrete floors were completely destroyed. Fortunately, the old rooftop was still there. Otherwise, the whole place would had collapsed because of the last night attack.
