Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 177: Chapter 131: Ambush? Temporarily Ranked First! The Background of Rong Qiu!_2

What the hell is this?

Countless people looked at each other. Even Zhao Deguang, who was not far away, turned to Liu Fuhai, the authority on the matter. Of course, it was also possible he was looking at Su Ping, who sat unassumingly in the corner next to Liu Fuhai.

”Wooden Body?!”

Liu Fuhai’s tone was somewhat surprised, as if he hadn’t quite reacted, yet he was certain.

Yes, this was the Wooden Body!

”Wooden Body? Isn’t that an Ability only possessed by some Plant-based Pet Beasts?”

A man beside him, who also bore a general’s star on his shoulder, spoke up in astonishment.

It was a characteristic Ability of Plant-based Pet Beasts. Any injury on the body of a Plant-based Pet Beast could recover as long as the root wasn’t directly damaged; even damage to the stem was of no concern.

After all, Plant-based Pet Beasts were mostly slow.

This Wooden Body Ability served as a Core Technique and a definite reinforcement for many in the Plant System.

The Plant System had no fatal weaknesses.

But the question was, was this wolf part of the Plant System?

Just a moment ago, its frolicking behavior—hopping and leaping in the jungle, appearing and disappearing without a trace—did not resemble a Pet Beast of the Plant System at all!

A pure Wolf Pet with the Plant System’s ’Wooden Body’ Ability?

At that moment, everyone cast complex glances at Su Ping, who remained composed.

This included Liu Fuhai.

Even from the seats on the other side, where the Breeders of the Forest Wolf Troop sat, some people couldn’t help but turn their gaze to Su Ping.

How on earth did this kid do it? Could the Evolutionary Body of a Forest Wolf be so freakishly capable?

They didn’t understand.

Among them, those reacting most strongly were Ding Yan, a Breeder from Huaiyang Province, and Rong Qiu, a woman in black from Beiyuan Province.

The former was naturally filled with regret. Why did such a talented Breeder choose to stay in a place like Jianghai Province?

The latter, however, was far more conflicted. Her mouth curled into an indecipherable, complex expression, her eyes not even glancing at her own Snow Wolf Group.

It was as if she had no interest whatsoever in the Snow Wolf Group’s performance; her gaze remained fixed solely on the Forest Wolf Troop and Su Ping.

They didn’t know what other secrets this Wanmu Wolf harbored.

At this moment, they had come to genuinely respect this young man—someone they had initially resented for being overly favored by Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai, who had let him sit in the first row.

In the Legion, strength was most respected.

Su Ping’s Cultivation talent and the Wanmu Wolf he had nurtured had undoubtedly conquered them.

However, the battle on the screen had not yet ended.

Da Zhuang, with its Mutation: Wooden Body, had entered a wooden state, but its movements hadn’t stopped.

On the shore, upon the land, the forest deluge re-emerged!

The other Wanmu Wolves also reacted.

Enraged by the sneak attack, they immediately entered a combat state.

Su Ping slowly exhaled.

The final outcome was still not unexpected.

Even if the Hydro Serpent could enter the water and survive continuously underwater, its Beast Tamer could not.

The Beast Tamer would eventually need to surface for air.

Besides, who said the Wanmu Wolves had no options underwater?

After all, it was just a small lake, barely a kilometer across and not very deep. The five Wanmu Wolves, anchoring their Tree Prisons to the earth at the water’s edge, dragged them straight into the lake!

Under the combined effect of the fivefold Tree Prison and the Language of Nature, the entire lake surface became interconnected by branches.

It was still the familiar forest web, only this time it spread across the lake’s surface.

The final result was that the Forest Wolf Troop’s Points increased by another 7. This was followed by an additional 5 Points for surviving more than two hours.

Although the process this time had been convoluted and the risks high, everyone fell silent once more as they looked at the screen. The massive web of endless branches and leaves almost completely covered the small lake.

Reality had slapped them hard in the face.

They couldn’t help but ponder the question that had just arisen.

Doesn’t the Wanmu Wolves’ Skill activation require Energy expenditure?

This was evident from the battle they had just witnessed.

That Hydro Serpent, by maintaining its presence in the lake and drawing support from the water’s Spiritual Power, could ensure rapid Energy recovery.

However, facing the blockade of the forest web, its all-out Iron Water Cannonball attack only managed about twenty-odd shots in succession.

This frequency and number of shots were already quite exaggerated and terrifying.

The power of the Iron Water Cannonball was also extraordinary.

Even those dense forest webs would blast open into large clearings when directly hit by an Iron Water Cannonball.

If those Hydro Serpents could launch attacks as relentlessly as the Wanmu Wolves activated their entangling forest Skills, and if they could have fired just a few dozen more shots, the outcome of the battle would have been truly uncertain.

Even if they couldn’t win, escaping unscathed would have been absolutely no problem.

But how could such Abilities be used so easily and carelessly?

Yet, the Wanmu Wolves had managed to do just that.

Even legendary Spirit Saint Level Pet Beasts and Legendary Pet Beasts have to obey the law of Energy conservation, don’t they?

But this massive wolf, resembling a Kylin, seemed to utterly disregard the concept of Energy conservation.

Such rampant use of its Abilities, yet it showed no signs of Energy depletion or fatigue.
