Copying a Talent from a Vicious Beast?

Chapter 5: Copying a Talent from a Vicious Beast?

"A Vicious Beast!!!"

Ye Tian was also stunned.

He had never seen a Vicious Beast, but rumors said they were terrifying; they could easily slaughter ordinary people, and only Martial Artists could deal with them.

Outside the Coastal Base was a ring of city walls, but sometimes the walls couldn't stop Vicious Beasts, and occasionally one would rush into the base.

There was only one outcome when an ordinary person encountered a Vicious Beast: death.

"Hurry home!"

Ye Tian thought of his sister, Ye Yu. This place wasn't far from home, and fragile walls were completely unable to withstand a Vicious Beast; he was extremely worried about his sister.

While running, Ye Tian vaguely saw a silver-white shadow constantly darting through the end of the street. Ordinary people died one after another under the silver shadow's attack.

"What incredible speed!"

Ye Tian was shocked.

Such speed had already surpassed the eyes' reaction time. This was just watching from afar; if it were at close range, he might be killed by the Vicious Beast without even seeing a shadow.

"If I encounter this Vicious Beast, I will surely die!"

Ye Tian thought.

He wouldn't foolishly think he was a protagonist who wouldn't die no matter what, and naturally, he wouldn't be so stupid as to fight the Vicious Beast.

When facing an invincible situation, flee as quickly as possible!

Ye Tian wasn't stupid, so he fled.

Unfortunately, his speed was too slow compared to that Vicious Beast, and it seemed to be rushing in his direction.

Ye Tian knew this Vicious Beast wasn't targeting him, but if they crossed paths, the beast certainly wouldn't mind extending a claw to kill him.

"Vile creature, how dare you kill people in the base!"

Led by a middle-aged man, several Martial Artists rushed over and soon surrounded the Vicious Beast.

"Great, it's the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad!"

Someone shouted.

The Wind Wolf Hunting Squad?

Ye Tian knew the name of this hunting squad. It was a famous one in this area. The squad leader had the title 'Wind Wolf' and was an expert at the Late Stage of the Martial Artist realm. Under him were over ten Martial Artists at the Early Stage or Middle Stage.

Seeing the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad arrive, many people breathed a sigh of relief and even started watching the spectacle.

"Quickly, get back! This Vicious Beast isn't simple!"

Captain Wind Wolf roared at the onlookers.

Hearing Captain Wind Wolf's shout, many people finally realized that a battle between Martial Artists and Vicious Beasts was not something to watch casually. One careless Move could lead to death at the hands of the beast, and the Martial Artists might not even have time to save them.

Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Everyone backed away, and Ye Tian also retreated far back, but he didn't leave.

He also really wanted to know what the combat power of the Martial Artist level was like.

Soon, the battle began!

Captain Wind Wolf's blade slashed toward the Vicious Beast. The blade light was dazzling in the night, its power clearly extraordinary. The stone slabs on the street were carved with a three-meter-long blade mark under Captain Wind Wolf's strike.

Unfortunately, the Vicious Beast was too fast and dodged the attack.

"What a powerful attack. Even the hard street slabs were sliced open. If that hit a person, they would probably be split in half instantly. Is this the power of a Martial Artist?"

Ye Tian felt a sense of longing.

The Martial Artists of the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad all drew their weapons and began fighting the Vicious Beast, but their expressions were solemn.

Suddenly.

A Martial Artist was swatted away by the Vicious Beast, leaving a bloodstain on his chest.

"Xiao Bai!"

Captain Wind Wolf glanced over worriedly but didn't check on Xiao Bai's injuries; instead, he attacked the Vicious Beast.

Although the Vicious Beast had severely injured one Martial Artist, there were many surrounding it, and it was soon wounded.

"Watch out, the beast is trying to escape!"

Captain Wind Wolf shouted.

Sure enough.

Seeing things were going badly, the Vicious Beast turned into a streak of silver light and broke through the encirclement, attempting to flee into the distance.

Just then, an arrow shot from afar and hit the Vicious Beast.

Then, with a boom, the Vicious Beast collapsed on the street, its form fully exposed.

"It's a Silver Marten!"

Ye Tian saw it clearly.

This Silver Marten was one meter long, had sharp claws, and blood-red eyes.

"This Silver Moon Marten has been severely injured by Xiao Yue. Everyone, push harder and kill it! We won't have to go out and hunt Vicious Beasts for a month!"

Captain Wind Wolf said excitedly.

Clearly, this Silver Moon Marten was worth a lot.

The heavily injured Silver Moon Marten was clearly no match for the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad, but it didn't seem to have given up hope.

Suddenly.

A silver radiance erupted from its body, and its Aura suddenly surged.

"Careful! It's stimulating its Bloodline and getting ready to erupt!"

Captain Wind Wolf roared, warning the others.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

The Martial Artists quickly backed away a bit to avoid being taken down with the Silver Moon Marten.

But suddenly, the Silver Moon Marten rushed toward the crowd.

The expressions of all the Martial Artists changed drastically; they understood the Silver Moon Marten's plan!

"Everyone, scatter!"

Captain Wind Wolf shouted to the crowd in the distance.

Unfortunately, the Silver Moon Marten was too fast. With its Bloodline stimulated, its speed had reached a new level, far beyond what these ordinary people could dodge.

In the blink of an eye, the Silver Moon Marten crashed into the crowd.

Without any Moves, just a simple collision sent ordinary people flying, their fates unknown.

Suddenly.

Another arrow shot out, fired by Xiao Yue, the member of the Wind Wolf Hunting Squad hiding in the shadows.

Puchi!!!

The arrow entered the Silver Moon Marten's body, piercing through its existing wound.

The already dying Silver Moon Marten finally died, its life force gradually fading away.

At this point, many people fled, not daring to approach the Silver Moon Marten.

However, a young man walked toward the Silver Moon Marten and gently touched its skin.

"Young man, you've got a lot of nerve, daring to touch a Vicious Beast?"

Captain Wind Wolf walked over and laughed heartily.

"It's my first time seeing a Vicious Beast, so I couldn't help but touch it out of curiosity!" the young man said awkwardly.

Captain Wind Wolf nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, kid. I see you're already a Martial Apprentice? Being a Martial Apprentice at this age, you might have hope of becoming a Martial Artist. Once you become a Martial Artist, I'll allow you to join our squad!"

"Thank you, Captain Wind Wolf!"

The young man said excitedly.

The Wind Wolf Hunting Squad didn't stay long. They carried away the Silver Moon Marten's corpse and left one by one.

But the young man who had been chatting with Captain Wind Wolf stood alone on the street, smiling foolishly. Others who saw this thought he had gone crazy.

Becoming a Martial Artist was not that easy; Captain Wind Wolf's words were just polite talk.

However, the reason the young man was smiling was not because of Captain Wind Wolf's words.

This young man was none other than Ye Tian.

"Haha, I didn't expect the second talent I copied would actually come from a Vicious Beast!"

Ye Tian said excitedly.
