In the end, he was still defeated. Old Tang had no martial ethics; he couldn't defeat one beast, so he sent two.
Shen Yaoxing's "Medusa Gaze" could control one, but not two. He was originally confident of victory, but the extra silver-level beast collided with him, disrupting his formation and causing Shen Yaoxing's control to break down.
Faced with two Silver-level opponents, they had no choice but to flee in terror.
"Old Tang! Sending two beast tamers to deal with just a few Candle Illumination Realm cultivators, aren't you ashamed?"
Old Tang just stood by with his hands in his pockets, watching the group being carried away, and chuckled: "Little Lu, the Void Realm is much more dangerous than this. Anything can happen. Let alone two, it's not uncommon for dozens of Silver-level Void Beasts to suddenly appear."
Old Tang's two tamed beasts are a silver-level swamp mud monster and a silver-level mountain shell crab. One is mainly offensive and the other is mainly defensive. Both are unique species in Linjiang. The mountain shell crab is from the Linjiang mudflats and was originally only a bronze-level virtual beast.
He also has a Silver-level Oni-faced Ape, which Lu Ren and his group fought against recently.
Lu Ren had almost mastered the Ghost-Faced Demon's tactics and was full of confidence today. But Old Tang didn't play by the rules. Not only did he send two Silver-level fighters, but he also sent two that they had never seen before.
"You're not the only one with beast taming abilities, Little Black, come out!"
Lu Ren also threw out his tamed beast.
Virtual beasts naturally develop very quickly, and after becoming beast tamers, Lu Ren's affinity with living beings will make them grow even faster. Now, after a month of development, Xiao Hei is already taller than Jiang Yueying.
Xiao Hei has shed its round head and chubby face from a month ago. Its vertical pupils now carry the ferocity of a large feline. Although it is not yet an adult, it is an absolute bronze-level Void Beast!
"Little Black, breathe on it!"
"ha-!!"
Despite the vast difference in strength, Xiao Hei displayed bravery and fearlessness. When Lu Ren asked it to hiss, it charged forward, grabbed the other man's arm with all four limbs, and then started biting wildly!
Lu Ren clenched his fist: "Well done, Little Black!"
Jiang Yueying also cheered for it, "Wow! Little Blackie, well done!"
Lu Youhe said with a worried look, "Go for it, Xiao Hei!"
As for Ji Liguang, he was just sent flying by a claw from a silver-level giant cat and is on his way back.
However, no matter how well Xiao Hei grew, his opponent was a monster twice his height. The disparity was so great that it was like a tiger hunting a mammoth – utterly reckless.
Ji Liguang was halfway back when she bumped into Xiao Hei, who was flying towards her.
She only had time to utter a "Fuck!" before being thrown hundreds of meters away.
"Little Black!"
With Jiang Yueying in one arm and Lu Youhe on his back, Lu Ren chose to run away again, only to be carried away once more by the Silver-level Swamp Mud Monster.
Even the usually good-tempered Shen Yaoxing couldn't help but yell, "What are you guys playing at? Hurry up and finish him off!"
She has now immobilized the mountain crab, but it is a silver-level virtual beast, and she cannot hold on for long. She can only keep reapplying skills to the mountain crab, and her mental energy is constantly being consumed.
Hearing Shen Yaoxing's accusations, Lu Ren felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He wanted to take down a Silver-tier Swamp Monster, but he simply couldn't.
Logically speaking, the four of them should be able to handle a typical Silver-level opponent.
However, the range of silver-level is from five hundred to five thousand. The difference between the weak and the strong is tenfold. For example, if they want to go to the Fire Basin Realm, the total value of the Crimson Sand Scorpion is around one thousand, the elemental affinity is six hundred, and the physique is about four or five hundred.
Moreover, Beast Tamers have a rather unfair advantage: while other professions generally don't make much progress after the age of 25, Beast Tamers can continuously train their beasts, allowing them to reach the limit of their level.
Therefore, generally speaking, a beast tamer who has been famous for many years can fight against a team of the same level by himself.
The silver-level swamp monster in front of him was cultivated by Old Tang for decades and was almost at the gold level. To quantify the values, it had an elemental affinity of two to three thousand and a physique of over a thousand. You didn't even need to use skills to deal with it; a single dive was like a cat catching a mouse.
However, they hadn't really expected to win anyway, since it was unrealistic for several Candle Illumination Realm cultivators to defeat a veteran Fire Realm beast tamer.
They were just training their teamwork to become more familiar with each other.
Old Tang was standing to the side, grinning from ear to ear.
But as I looked at it, I started to take it a little more seriously.
Old Tang soon discovered that although Lu Ren was still being stretched to the point of exhaustion, he seemed to be finding his rhythm as he stretched.
Lu Ren seemed to have figured out some of the routines of his beast taming, and he also felt the upper limit of his beast taming power. Even though he was being beaten, he had a firm grasp on the rhythm of how he was being beaten.
Moreover, this kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He has a hardening ability that makes him resistant to blows, a marsh gas explosion that can slightly injure his beasts, and a mud cannon that, although not very powerful, would still be disgusting if fired out of nowhere.
He also possessed a bronze-grade alchemical weapon, which was quite powerful and could leave wounds on the beasts he tamed.
Moreover, this person also has mental resonance, which can interrupt the swamp monster's attack.
He even used "alchemy" from time to time to alter the terrain, displaying a variety of tricks.
"You damn idiot swamp monster, eat your daddy's swamp gas and you'll explode!"
"————" I don't know why, but they started trash-talking while we were fighting?
Moreover, despite his increasingly severe injuries, the kid's movements became more and more rapid, his speed increased, his spirits improved significantly, and his fighting style became more and more aggressive.
It was another self-destructive attack. Lu Ren used his beast to detonate a bomb, which made the swamp monster a little dizzy and disoriented. He was blasted dozens of meters away.
His face was covered in blood, but he quickly grabbed his sword again and stood up, panting heavily.
A blonde girl, also covered in blood, stood beside him, holding a knife in her hand, and said, "Lu, Lu Ren, you've become quite the sight now!"
"Of course."
Lu Ren, panting heavily, said, "During this time, I followed an old lady and went through very rigorous training."
"You—you, can you still fight?"
"Didn't the warm-up just end?"
The two stood side by side, pointing their weapons at the silver-level void beast in front of them, exuding boundless aura.
Despite being covered in wounds, it seemed that as long as the two of them joined forces, any enemy would be cut down by their swords.
Before they could withstand more than a few blows, both of them were sent flying by the swamp monster.
After all, the difference is too great; a silver-level Void Beast is comparable to a professional from the Fire of the Torch to the Star Cocoon Realm.
Old Tang naturally also noticed that, apart from Lu Ren, the others were also quite remarkable.
That blonde girl had an absurdly high life force. After taking so many hits from the swamp monster, she was completely unharmed and charged forward with a strange roar.
"boom"
They were all supposed to have just broken through to the Candle Illumination Realm, so where did they get such high Life Force attributes?
And then there's Lu Ren's sister, I heard she's only been a professional for a month.
Logically speaking, leaving such a novice alone wouldn't have any impact, but this girl is quite strange; she can actually use bronze-level firearms.
Among all professions, the one with the highest damage in the early stages is the prop master who wields alchemical firearms. Bronze-level firearms are already qualified to injure his beasts, and every bullet makes his beasts grimac in pain.
And that little one, just how high is his elemental affinity? It can't be over a thousand already, can it? The Flame Realm?
The raging flames and terrifying heat were so intense that even his beast-taming skills had to temporarily avoid its edge.
Lu Ren and the blonde girl, one has strong recovery and the other has a high health bar, but neither of them has high damage. Relatively speaking, these two girls are more dangerous.
Logically, he should have dealt with the two girls first.
However, these two girls are really weak; their physical strength and vitality are probably only around 2 or 3 points.
These two girls are too weak; he's not confident he can injure them without killing them.
Lu Ren seemed to have noticed this too, so he simply ignored his sister and Jiang Yueying and let them provide support by taking sniper shots and using their skills.
He told them: "If Old Tang dares to let the Void Beasts get close to you, hey, you should lie down on the ground and cover yourselves with a small blanket."
Just then, Lu Ren saw the swamp monster abandon him and Ji Liguang and head towards his sister and the others.
He was furious and shouted at Old Tang, "Old Tang, let me tell you! Those two strong ones are both pretty weak, they're both fragile. If you dare touch them—they'll die right in front of you, and they'll die a really, really ugly death."
"Hold!"
Old Tang couldn't help but curse. Could this person be any more shameless?!
"Old Tang! Actually, I'm dying soon too! You dare let—"
Before he could finish speaking, he was swatted away by the swamp monster.
Old Tang watched as the kid got up again, spat out two mouthfuls of blood, and stuffed a spirit bone into his mouth.
He laughed out loud: "Hey, you're still alive, aren't you? Keep it up, young man!"
Although he smiled broadly, his heart sank – these young people were indeed incredibly strong.
Although these people had only just entered the Candle Illumination Realm, and one of them was even at the Flowing Firefly Realm, they were estimated to have no problem dealing with Silver-level opponents with a value of less than 1000.
Of course, this is without taking Ms. Haruki into account.
If we include Miss Yaoxing, she can fight against opponents with stats below 3000. Perhaps even if they are not Gold-level Void Beasts, she should be able to escape unscathed.
Since he couldn't hurt the two girls, and the blonde girl was like an unkillable cockroach, if the fight continued, it was only a matter of time before his swamp monster was defeated.
This team has no problem entering some silver-level void realms.
"That's enough, you've reached your limit for today, take a break."
As a beast tamer at the bottleneck stage of the Flame Realm, he could easily defeat two or three other professionals of the same level. But if he were to use three beast tamers to fight a group of Candle Illumination Realm cultivators, he would lose all face.
It's ridiculously strong, though. If Lu Ren's little black dog is given another month, it should be able to grow to the Bronze level complete form.
At that time, if Xiao Hei were to cover for the two girls, or lead them around, even if he didn't hold back, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
In just one month, not to mention Lu Ren's swamp monster, the three children in their growth phase have probably grown to an unimaginable extent.
However, when he wanted to end it, some people were not happy about it.
"Rest? What's the point of resting now—Youhe! Tell Mom I didn't plant it?"
"Watch me make you fly—methane explosion!"
