Chapter 1308: Chapter 444: War Breaks Out (6k)

"What’s it doing here?

No, I should be asking what its master is planning.

Is it because of the recent unrest that they’re coming to calm the Spirit Tigers, or is it a show of force to suppress them?

Or perhaps they’re also searching for the so-called ’Chaotic Paradise Contractors’?"

Bai Yi frowned, unable to determine the true intentions of this beast’s presence.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered local powerhouses might approach her, but that would only be after she began her war, not now.

Only after the war begins, when she truly shows her power and benevolence toward civilians, might she gain the allegiance of local powerhouses.

Moreover, now she’s hiding within this forest, even the Wisdom Paradise Contractors don’t know she’s here, so how could the local humans know?

They don’t even know where she is, let alone what she is.

Since they are unaware of her existence, it naturally rules out the possibility that they’re here to find her.

But if they’re not here for her, Bai Yi is truly unable to confirm their intentions.

However, the reality was before her, the beast was approaching the forest, and she had to make arrangements.

"All Sea Sons and progeny, temporarily cease activities to avoid detection, but prepare for battle.

Although it’s only Seventh Rank, we can’t be sure if it has any special reconnaissance abilities.

If by some chance we are discovered, capture it immediately to avoid alarming the Beast Tamer.

Though prolonged absence might eventually get noticed, any delay is beneficial.

Spirit Tigers, you high-tier spiritual beasts, return as soon as possible and coordinate the act."

Even though Bai Yi was confident in the genetic modifications she made for the Sea Sons, believing they wouldn’t be detected, she had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

After all, concealment is merely concealment, not complete disappearance; under unlikely extreme conditions, there’s a chance the beast might stumble upon the invisible Sea Sons or warship forms of the progeny.

Once the Spirit Tigers and the other high-tier spiritual beasts returned, Bai Yi also entered a state of concealment similar to that of the Sea Sons.

Soon, a figure of a bird beast appeared in the sky, exactly the creature mentioned in the intelligence.

Without landing, the bird beast gazed downward from high above, then seemingly indifferent, flew over the forest as if it were just passing by.

But since it was already here, Bai Yi didn’t believe it would resist the urge, going through such effort merely to have a look.

Sure enough, before completely passing over the forest, the bird beast returned, circling the core area overhead.

Appearing to find nothing amiss, the bird beast circled in the air for a good ten minutes, then suddenly flapped its wings a few times, its gliding posture abruptly changing to a dive, aiming towards a specific spot in the forest below.

In the network, Bai Yi observed clearly; there was nothing special in that direction, not even a concealed Sea Son.

"Strange, not seeking the high-tier spiritual beasts, what’s it searching for?

Could it really be looking for me?"

Seeing the strange actions of the bird beast, Bai Yi, using the progeny near the high-tier spiritual beasts as spokesmen, commanded:

"Go test that beast, don’t hold back, just attack directly."

Bai Yi squinted, if nothing was apparent, she would force them to expose themselves.

Seeing a human’s beast descend, it was perfectly normal for the high-tier spiritual beasts to attack.

No need for Bai Yi’s orders, facing a human’s beast, these high-tier spiritual beasts were exceptionally enthusiastic.

Especially the Spirit Tiger, whose strength had been enhanced, still unsatisfied from the earlier battle, eyes burning with the fire of battle intent.

That black-red Annihilation Magic flared up, targeting the bird beast as it struck with a paw.

However, being a high-tier beast as well, how could it be so easily hit, nor did it have any intention of fighting with the Spirit Tiger.

Before the Spirit Tiger could charge at it, the beast once again took flight, withdrawing without looking back.

This series of actions left Bai Yi quite puzzled.

Only after seeing the bird beast completely disappear beyond the horizon did Bai Yi release the concealment, feeling thoughtful.

"Strange, what exactly did this beast come here for?

Coming all this way, not to communicate with the Spirit Tigers nor to engage in combat, just hovering a couple of loops and leaving immediately?

What kind of maneuver is this...

Bring some progeny over to check where it landed earlier, it couldn’t have done nothing."

It wasn’t that Bai Yi had foresight, but rather a deduction based on logic.

She couldn’t guess what this beast was trying to achieve, but she knew, being a high-tier beast specifically dispatched by the Beast Taming Alliance, it couldn’t have landed without some purpose.

Especially in an area suspected to host their enemies.

In less than ten seconds after the command was issued, the network conveyed a message from the progeny.

"Master, we’ve found it. The beast left something on the tree where it landed, confirmed to have no transcendent effect. It’s a letter!"

"Bring it over."

Soon, the progeny delivered a small cylindrical metal, about the size of a finger, into Bai Yi’s hands.
