Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Ivica’s Frustration

As Lu Ke was whittling wood, he said worriedly, “Xu Yi, our camp will soon be surrounded by them, won’t it?”

Upon hearing Lu Ke’s words, Qin Fan nodded and said, “That’s expected. After all, they’re worried we’ll run off after collecting the Star Chart. Additionally, they’re trying to lure Xu Yi, so they’ll definitely set up camp nearby.”

Xu Yi calmly replied, “As long as they don’t interfere with us, it’s fine. Once they witness the terror of a Level 3 Fierce Beast, they’ll naturally leave.”

After speaking, Xu Yi handed the piece of the Star Chart to Qin Fan.

Without hesitation, Qin Fan took the Star Chart and put it on the other wrist.

Next, three more Star Charts would be acquired, giving them a total of 18 Star Charts.

If they kept at it, soon everyone might have two Star Charts each.

Star Charts are far more important than other supplies.

After 500 days, if the Spirit Race hasn’t reclaimed them, they can continue to use them.

Given that they were gifted an entire planet, so generously, it’s unlikely they’ll reclaim these Star Charts.

Unless they completely give up.

“Alright, let’s continue training. I’ll arrange for the taming of the Fierce Beasts. For now, our main focus should be enhancing our strength,” Xu Yi said, knowing that even if Li Kang and his team surrounded their camp, it wouldn’t affect them.

As long as their training wasn’t disrupted, nothing else mattered.

Once they all advanced to Level 3, they couldn’t be stopped.

Upon hearing Xu Yi’s words, everyone returned to their tents to resume training.

Xu Yi did the same; he didn’t want to waste time.

Only by breaking through to Level 3 would he feel some reassurance.

Meanwhile, after Li Kang returned to camp with the Fierce Beast Black Mink, he didn’t immediately send the beast to Xu Yi.

His team was under complete military management, no different from a military camp.

Out of 180 members, they were divided into 16 squads, each with a squad leader, deputy leader, and a political commissar, among others.

After returning to camp, he immediately convened a meeting.

He wanted to determine how many people were needed to break through the Fierce Beast Black Mink’s defenses.

Exchanging a Star Chart for the Fierce Beast Black Mink seemed worthwhile to Li Kang. After all, the Fierce Beast Black Mink also held a Level 3 Fierce Beast Brain Crystal. This meant he could now hunt solitary Level 3 Fierce Beasts.

This kind of ability, probably only Xu Yi had, right?

Letting his team members understand the power of Level 3 Fierce Beasts wasn’t a bad idea.

Li Kang’s actions were naturally aimed at winning hearts and minds.

After the meeting, arrangements were made, and he, along with a few trusted aides and the Fierce Beast, went to Ivica’s camp.

Jerry also brought his team and beasts to Ivica’s camp.

When Ivica saw Li Kang and his team approaching with three Fierce Beasts, she couldn’t help but wonder, “Li Kang, you also brought three over? Didn’t you have five over there?”

She intended to bring six over because her camp only had that many. Otherwise, she would have brought all eight.

Li Kang replied, “We’re starting to run low on food, so we kept two to prepare for slaughtering and eating.”

Jerry was somewhat skeptical because Li Kang’s team had gone to the jungle edges to hunt Fierce Beasts, so they should have plenty of Fierce Beast Meat stored. Li Kang’s team should have been the one with the most food among the three, so how could they be running low?

So, Jerry laughed and said, “Really? You should have plenty of food. The real shortage is over in Battalion 3; Battalion 1 should have loads of food.”

Li Kang pointed to the Fierce Beasts and continued, “Once we tame them, we’ll have to feed them. Supplying them is no easy task.”

With Li Kang’s explanation, Jerry and Ivica’s expressions changed.

They were so focused on being happy that they forgot this important detail.

So, Ivica decided to send over three as well. After all, Xu Yi couldn’t possibly tame so many Fierce Beasts that quickly.

Ivica glanced at Li Kang and Jerry and asked, “Shall we discuss the order now?”

The two nodded in agreement, as the reason for gathering here was to discuss this matter.

Jerry thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s draw lots to decide. Whoever gets chosen goes first for the Fierce Beast, followed by the other two. Once the order is set, it will rotate that way.”

This matter was left to chance, and no one had anything to say about it.

Li Kang shook his head, thinking there might still be room for manipulation, so he simply said, “Rock, paper, scissors. Simple and straightforward.”

Ivica was momentarily stunned, then nodded, thinking it indeed simpler and fairer than drawing lots.

Li Kang immediately declared, “One round to decide the winner, the first to win goes first, and the remaining two will compete. The loser goes last. The order remains for the second round.”

Thus, the three played rock-paper-scissors.

Jerry had better luck, winning the first round, making him very happy.

In the second round, Li Kang won, leaving Ivica in a bit of frustration.

Unfortunately, with one round to decide the outcome, she could only accept it with regret.

Thus, the order for obtaining the Fierce Beast mounts was set among the three.

Each of the three led their team to deliver the Fierce Beasts to Xu Yi and informed him of the taming order since their Fierce Beasts weren’t the same.

Naturally, when handing over the Fierce Beasts to Xu Yi, they also gave him three Star Charts with cleared space.

Apart from delivering the Fierce Beasts, they also determined the locations for setting up camp around Xu Yi.

Their three camps aimed to encircle Xu Yi in the center.

This way, any movement from Xu Yi’s side would be known to them immediately.

After delivering the Fierce Beasts, they promptly had their men go back to inform everyone about the camp relocation.

Knowing this, Xu Yi didn’t say anything, as it was anticipated.

Taming Fierce Beasts seemed to have become slightly easier for Xu Yi. By the 11th skill, he had already tamed the first one. Then, he started taming the second.

In the second hour, Xu Yi managed to tame the second one.

In the fourth hour, Xu Yi had already tamed the third one, exceeding his previous expectations.

However, Xu Yi didn’t plan to hand them over immediately.

With this speed, how could he sell them for such high prices?

At dinner, Xu Yi took out three Star Charts.

Lu Yao, Zhou Chun, and Qin Yue each received one.

No one had any objections to Xu Yi’s decision.

After dinner, Xu Yi let Qin Fan deliver the first Fierce Beast to Jerry’s camp.

Meanwhile, he also wanted to learn about the reality of Jerry’s camp.

To Qin Fan’s surprise, Jerry’s camp had everyone engaged in military training, particularly the most basic kind.

Military management?

Were these people planning for events 500 days in the future?
