Before long, the three of them dragged the Rongsu Beast to a relatively flat open space. Su Yang was in charge of dealing with the Rongsu Beast, while Lin Anlan and Tang Wan were in charge of setting up the tent.

Soon it was completely dark, and a campfire lit up the night. The three of them sat around the fire, roasting meat and chatting.

"Sister Anlan, tell me your story as an adventurer." Tang Wan leaned close to Lin Anlan, her voice carrying a hint of coquetry. She was completely different from before; the quiet, wealthy young lady seemed to have transformed into a quirky and mischievous girl.

"My story?" Lin Anlan asked in surprise, "My story isn't very interesting; it's all about life and death." Lin Anlan seemed unwilling to recount her past adventures.

"Then let's not talk about those life-or-death things. Tell me about ferocious beasts. I've never seen many ferocious beasts in my life."

"I've seen quite a few ferocious beasts, I can tell you about them."

Lin Anlan closed his eyes and thought for a while before speaking, "Let's start with the Rongsu Beast in front of us."

"Okay, okay!"

"The Rongsu Beast is a wood-attribute ferocious beast, only at the D-level. Beasts of this level are generally docile and rarely attack people. Because its meat is delicious, the Duchy of Paisen and the Tianyun Empire, which border the Lingluo Great Forest, both like to capture this type of ferocious beast."

"So, the ferocious beasts also possess elemental power and ranks?"

"You could say that the elemental power of ferocious beasts is the same as ours, also contained within the seven elements. Some ferocious beasts can use multiple elemental powers at the same time, which is quite different from humans. As for the ranks, according to the current division of the Adventurers' Guild, they are ranked from high to low as S-rank, A-rank, B-rank, C-rank, etc., with the lowest being E-rank."

Tang Wan unconsciously started counting on her fingers: "One, two... six, six levels, isn't that the same as our elemental ranks, from one to six?"

Lin Anlan nodded in agreement: "That's right. The higher the level, the stronger the ferocious beast. However, the level certification of some ferocious beasts is not entirely based on individual combat strength."

"What's the basis for that?"

"Some ferocious beasts live in groups and hunt in groups. They may not be strong individually, but their combat power increases greatly when they gather together. For example, the Water Wind Beasts that live in the sea off the island may only be C-level individually, but they usually act in groups, so their final rating can reach A-level."

"I see." Tang Wan suddenly understood, then asked another question: "I heard that ferocious beasts can also enhance their strength, is that true?"

"You're probably referring to the way ferocious beasts increase their strength as they grow, right? That's true. For example, in their infancy, they might only have D-rank or even E-rank strength, but as they grow, their strength changes at each stage. For example, Su Yang's..." At this point, Lin Anlan seemed to remember something and quickly stopped talking, trying to change the subject:

For example...for example...

"What about Brother Su Yang?" But Tang Wan immediately caught the key point and asked, "Brother Su Yang, do you also have a ferocious beast? But aren't ferocious beasts usually hostile to humans?"

A barrage of questions left Lin Anlan speechless, so she could only look to Su Yang for help, as if to say, "I don't know how to explain this either."

Seeing that keeping it a secret was not a solution, and after spending so many days together, Su Yang had come to accept Tang Wan, so he said, "Some ferocious beasts can be tamed and a contract can be signed. Once a contract is signed, the ferocious beast will understand human will and become a spirit beast."

"Really? Then Brother Su Yang, do you have a spirit beast?"

Seeing Su Yang nod, Tang Wan was overjoyed: "It really exists! Where is it? Why have I never seen it before?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yang nodded slightly and communicated with Xiao Ju telepathically, signaling him to appear. With a flash of light, Xiao Ju appeared out of thin air on Su Yang's lap, still in the form of a kitten, licking its paws.

"Wow! So cute!" Tang Wan reached out to hug it, but Xiao Ju jumped away. After several unsuccessful attempts, Tang Wan was a little sad: "Why doesn't it want me to hug it?"

Lin Anlan interjected, "Spirit beasts generally only get close to people they are familiar with. Once they get to know you, they will naturally be willing to be close to you."

"Oh, okay." But Tang Wan's gloom didn't last long: "So, Brother Su Yang, what kind of spirit beast is yours? Is it high-level? What's its name? It doesn't seem very strong?"

Another barrage of questions followed. Although Su Yang felt some pressure, he patiently answered each one: "Its name is Xiaohui, you can also call it by its nickname Xiaoju. It is an S-class Sky-Splitting Tiger. I found it by chance when it was still an egg. After hatching it, we spent time together and signed a contract when it grew up."

"It's so small, yet it's S-rank?! The world is amazing, such a small thing is called a tiger." Tang Wan exclaimed, looking at the little orange cat lying on the ground. However, this made the little orange cat a little unhappy. What did it mean that such a small thing was called a tiger?

So it stood up, shook its fur, and then, to Tang Wan's astonishment, slowly enlarged its body, gradually returning to its original form—a tall and mighty tiger.

Wow!!! It can even transform!!!

Two puffs of air came out of Xiao Ju's nostrils, and her expression seemed to say, "You dare underestimate me."

"Alright, Little Orange, change back quickly." Although they were in a remote forest, Su Yang was worried that Little Orange revealing its true form would cause unnecessary trouble, so he quickly made Little Orange change back.

Watching Xiao Ju transform back to its original size, Tang Wan's eyes filled with longing: "I wish I could have a spirit beast that can transform."

"Hehe, not all spirit beasts can transform. Apart from some high-level spirit beasts, other spirit beasts cannot do it. However, being able to tame a ferocious beast is already a remarkable achievement. Perhaps you can start by trying to tame a low-level ferocious beast," Lin Anlan comforted her.

"Really? Then let's start tomorrow. Anyway, we're already in a big forest, and there are bound to be a lot of ferocious beasts around here!"

"If there's a chance on the road, we can try it." Su Yang chimed in, "The meat's cooked, have a taste."

Tang Wan took a piece of meat, took a small bite, and immediately praised, "This meat is really delicious, better than any meat I've ever eaten before! I didn't know that adventurers could eat all kinds of delicious food. I'm so glad I came with you guys back then."

Lin Anlan smiled helplessly upon hearing this. Who said adventurers only eat delicious food? There's plenty of hardship to be an adventurer! However, she didn't want to dampen Tang Wan's enthusiasm, so she let her maintain her positive impression of the adventurous life.
