"This Multiplier, I want it!"

Slimes are creatures made of mud, capable of growing larger or smaller, hence the Multiplier skill is commonly found among them.

Very few other transcendent creatures possess the Multiplier skill, making them exceedingly rare to encounter.

Therefore, Shi Yu had no intention of letting this chance slip by, now that he found a Slime within the country.

Even monkeys can learn Heaven and Earth Transformation; it's perfectly scientific for an Iron-eating Beast to learn Multiplier!

In short, it's a versatile skill suitable for all pets, so it's worth recording.

"Now listen up, everyone!"

After rummaging through a plethora of innate skills, Shi Yu deemed Multiplier as the one not to be missed. At that moment, Zhou Wanshan, the professional Beast Tamer in charge of the trial, suddenly shouted.

"The trial will officially begin in half an hour. During this half hour, you may still visit the store next to the trial base to replenish food and medicine."

"However, once you enter Tianmang Mountain, you will not be able to come out again for three days unless there are special circumstances."

In any case, each person only has one backpack; how much they can carry depends on their own planning.

Shi Yu had naturally prepared the basics, but they probably wouldn't last for three days. He would have to find food in Tianmang Mountain later on. He also prepared a sleeping bag and a tool worm.

At this point, Shi Yu began to feel helpless. It would be great if the Beast Taming Space could also store other items... It's so troublesome not having any space equipment.

Speaking of which, does this world have space equipment?

That's a question worth pondering... If it does, I must get one in the future.

What we boys want, we must get our hands on .jpg.

That's right, the secret realm ruins in Pingcheng seem to be a huge piece of space equipment? It can even hold living things.

Shi Yu fell into thought...

"Shi Yu."

Just as Shi Yu was daydreaming about whether that secret realm ruin could also become personal property, Chen Kai suddenly approached again.

"Want to team up? Want to team up?" Chen Kai asked in quick succession.

"Our class is planning to team up to hunt Mad Pythons."

"My Ice Armor Beast can control the field, and someone in the class has a lightning-type pet that can bomb the lake with electricity..."

Shi Yu asked, "Can we team up this time? How will the spoils be divided?"

Chen Kai said, "Anyway, the examiners didn't specify anything, so it should be possible. Aren't there rare resources around the Mad Python's lake? That should be enough to divide."

Shi Yu shook his head and said, "No, you guys go ahead. I have other goals."

He felt that following these guys might not be as efficient as being alone, and it wouldn't be as convenient either.

"Ah, well, okay then."

Although Chen Kai wanted to team up with Shi Yu more, he couldn't go against the fact that he had already agreed to act together with his classmates. He couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

The trial base didn't have any explicit rules about whether examinees were allowed to team up or not. However, the one thing that was the same for both lone wolves and small teams was that they were all eyeing those few small Bosses with growth levels above level nine, which were few in number.

Taking down one of them would probably guarantee a spot in the top 20.

Next, Shi Yu went to the store and bought a pair of insulated rubber gloves. It didn't take long before he returned.

Since it was still early before departure, Shi Yu simply continued flipping through the illustrated handbook where he was.

He had only browsed the ferocious beast section earlier; he hadn't looked at the resource section yet. Collecting resources also earned points, so overall, it was similar to the trial assessment mode of previous years.

Hmm... Besides the ferocious beast and resource sections, there were also two pages at the end titled "One Wild Survival Skill a Day, Have You Learned It?".

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. The person in charge of the trial summoned everyone again.

"The current time is ten o'clock in the morning. Everyone departs immediately and can freely climb the mountain from four entrances."

Tianmang Mountain was surrounded by a blockade, with only four entrances and exits. The environments encountered after entering through different entrances would be different.

The Beast Tamers present had all carefully studied the map and had their own hunting targets in mind, so they also had an idea of which way to go.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Wanshan finished speaking, the 100 apprentice Beast Tamers immediately scattered.

At the same time, a certain number of sparrow-sized mechanical birds began to fly up from the trial base and the safe areas within the mountain, and began to circle in the sky above Tianmang Mountain.

[Name]: Mechanical Bird

[Attribute]: Mechanical

[Race Level]: Low-level Transcendent

[Race Skills]: Image Storage, Acceleration

[Introduction]: Man-made mechanical life, used for tracking, investigation, and monitoring.

After the mechanical birds took flight, the situation in various locations on Tianmang Mountain began to appear clearly on the large screens in the monitoring room of the trial base and the various monitoring rooms of the safe areas.

Especially those ferocious beasts with relatively high growth levels were key targets of monitoring.

This was done not only to ensure the safety of the trainees, but also to see their performance more directly. Watching the process was also one of the few joys for these examiners. Wouldn't it be too boring to wait directly for the assessment results?

At the foot of Tianmang Mountain, a certain midway point was the entrance to the Magnetic Mountain area. Shi Yu and about twenty other apprentice Beast Tamers chose to enter from here.

As for Chen Kai and the others, they entered from another direction, preparing to team up to hunt Mad Pythons.

"Eleven, come out."

The outermost perimeter of Tianmang Mountain must have been cleared, with basically no ferocious beasts wandering around, so the vast majority of Beast Tamers chose to summon their pets here to protect them closely.

Shi Yu was the same. He had seen that there were many rare spiritual plants on this mountain. There was no need to worry about Eleven consuming too much energy. He could let Eleven eat while walking to maintain basic energy consumption.

"Ying?"

At this moment, after coming out of the Beast Taming Space, Eleven looked around blankly. Was this the place?

Where are the opponents? Where are the opponents?

"I'll take you to find them." Shi Yu was very confident in the strength of his little Iron-eating Beast.

The ferocious beasts here could be said to be untrained wild creatures, and most of their combat power was probably inferior to those pets carefully cultivated by Beast Tamers.

Although his little Iron-eating Beast was only at level six, with the proficiency-level Super Vision, High-speed Healing, and the expertise-level Hardening, its combat power should be at the top of the food chain...

As long as they didn't encounter a group of ferocious beasts, they would be invincible.

"Awoo oooo oooo~~"

Eleven raised its hand and followed beside Shi Yu.

Shi Yu added, "Also, pay attention to the surrounding environment."

Unlike vision, Iron-eating Beasts have a very sensitive sense of smell, and Eleven, who had mastered Super Vision, had strong vision and sense of smell.

With this guarantee, they could basically rest assured that they wouldn't encounter any sudden dangers.

Then, the next moment would be the trial moment for Eleven, and the ultimate destination was the Magnetic Mountain area, the Electric Slime!

Summoning his pet took a little time. Shi Yu next headed towards the Magnetic Mountain area with a clear goal.

He glanced at the map in the illustrated handbook. To reach the Magnetic Mountain area, he first had to cross the Wild Boar Forest...

The Wild Boar Forest was inhabited by a ferocious beast called the "Long-Spined Wild Boar". It was incredibly strong, looked ferocious, had sharp fangs, thick skin, and was covered in thorns like a hedgehog that could defend against attacks. Its meat was delicious and juicy. It was a mid-level transcendent creature that would scare any child to tears.

Shi Yu was still young, and tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes.

According to the illustrated handbook, the average growth level of the Long-Spined Wild Boars in the Wild Boar Forest was at the awakening level six. They were considered the backbone of this trial.

Long-Spined Wild Boars were probably not easy creatures to deal with. Their combat power was not weak, so their points were not low either. However, the more they were like this, the happier Shi Yu was.

"Eleven, I'll take you to hunt pigs!"

"Awoo oooo oooo~~"

...

Wild Boar Forest.

Long-Spined Wild Boars were gregarious transcendent creatures, but in most cases, they foraged separately in a fixed environment, which gave Beast Tamers an opportunity.

Dealing with a group of wild boars would definitely be a headache, but most of the Beast Tamers participating in this assessment should have some confidence in dealing with one alone.

Shi Yu and Eleven came to the vicinity of the Wild Boar Forest through a jungle path. During the period, they did encounter some other creatures, but they were all earth-burrowing rats worth only a few dozen points. Shi Yu was not interested at all.

It was too troublesome to spend dozens of minutes carrying a bunch of burdens for a few dozen points. There were even creatures that didn't give any points, such as the Green Cotton Worm, which Shi Yu didn't even want to look at.

"Found it."

Just as they arrived near the Wild Boar Forest, Shi Yu found a Long-Spined Wild Boar foraging at the edge.

[Name]: Long-Spined Wild Boar

[Attribute]: Earth

[Race Level]: Mid-level Transcendent

[Race Skills]: Petrifying Fangs

"Hmph! Hmph!! Hmph hmph!!"

Not only did Shi Yu and the others find the Long-Spined Wild Boar, but the wild boar also found Shi Yu and the others.

The Long-Spined Wild Boar's natural enemies included ferocious beasts such as wolves, bears, leopards, and raptors, so it had to be wary of any sudden attacks. It was very clever and ferocious, and its vigilance was very strong.

At this time, feeling the danger, it raised its head, and the spines on its body suddenly stood up, making a warning sound from its mouth.

The Long-Spined Wild Boar, which often lived in the wild, knew that it might have been locked onto by a hunter.

It cautiously searched with its eyes. However, when it saw the thin Shi Yu and the even smaller Iron-eating Beast cub Eleven, it was immediately stunned.

That's it?

Tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of the Long-Spined Wild Boar's mouth. Wild boars were omnivores and ate both plants and meat. For the current Long-Spined Wild Boar, it only felt like things had suddenly reversed!

The hunter is actually me!

Food took the initiative to come to the door!
