Chapter 152 The Flame Beast (2)

Bai Ke looked up and saw a strange beast emerging from the dense forest ahead, staring intently at him. Behind it lay the prey he had just caught for his wife and children.

Bai Ke looked at it and felt that if he moved even slightly near the mother beast, the beast on the other side would immediately pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

So, Bai Ke tried his best to appear as friendly and harmless as possible to the strange beast, slowly got up and retreated, smiling broadly at the creature as he said:

"Brother Beast? Hehe, please don't misunderstand! I was just passing by and saw your wife giving birth, so I helped her out. I absolutely didn't mean any harm!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands to his sides to prove his innocence. The beast seemed to understand Bai Ke's words, slowly lowered its arched body, and was about to walk towards its wife and children.

Unexpectedly, Ah-Can, who had been waiting for Bai Ke at the jungle entrance, did not see Bai Ke emerge for a long time, and the roars of beasts could be heard from the depths of the jungle. So Ah-Can could not wait any longer and hurriedly went into the depths of the jungle to search for him.

To their surprise, they soon smelled blood upon entering, which startled them even more. Although spirit beasts are intelligent and can understand human speech, their unleashed beastly nature is not something an ordinary person can withstand.

Although I have some confidence in my young master, even a tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves, so I'm still worried. Having more help would be good.

Upon entering, he was stunned to see two ferocious beasts baring their teeth at the young master, showing no sign of docility and appearing ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Without thinking twice, he raised his weapon and rushed forward to protect Bai Ke, shouting, "Young Master! I'm here to help you!"

Bai Ke had originally wanted to say something to the strange beast in front of him, but seeing this situation, he couldn't help but lower his head and rub his forehead, saying with exasperation, "What kind of mess have I made..."

Looking up again, the beast, which had relaxed its guard, suddenly bared its teeth and leaped up with lightning speed, its sharp claws gleaming coldly as it pounced on the two of them.

Bai Ke quickly shoved A-Can aside and shouted, "Get out of the way!" He then swiftly retreated and turned around to avoid the beast's attack.

As soon as he stood still, the beast, having missed its target, roared again and charged at him once more. Bai Ke quickly dodged once more, narrowly avoiding another attack.

Bai Ke's original intention was simply to come to this spirit beast garden to see Xu Mu, and incidentally swindle him out of any spirit beasts or exotic eggs that could only be used by him.

So he didn't intend to harm the beast, and didn't fight back, but just kept dodging the beast's frenzied attacks.

The strange beast seemed to know that the person before it was not someone to be trifled with, so it began to circle around Bai Ke. The two continued their maneuvering in this manner.

Suddenly, the beast moved. It was already incredibly strong, and now one of its sharp claws slammed towards Bai Ke. If that claw landed, it would definitely create a hole in him.

Bai Ke exerted force at his waist, dodging the beast's claw to the side, and then with a fluid and powerful palm strike, he knocked the beast away.

The beast, having missed its attack again, grew even angrier and roared at Bai Ke before launching another attack.

Bai Ke thought to himself, "This can't go on forever; I need to find a way to trap it."

Suddenly, a thought struck me: "I almost forgot, I just drew a deck of cards from the system, now's the perfect time to practice!"

Then, he flipped his palm upwards, and the Tai Chi symbol reappeared, with the playing cards now clearly visible in his hand.

Bai Ke quickly took out the three cards JQK, which were printed with flame patterns, infused them with spiritual power, and launched them at the roaring beast.

As the three cards passed, they gradually grew larger until they were as tall and thick as three walls before the change stopped.

The three cards were placed side by side in a line, blocking the beast's attack. But it was extremely ferocious and did not stop, beginning to tear and scratch at the playing cards.

When the three playing cards with flames printed on them were attacked, they began to spew fire.

Bai Ke didn't quite understand the specific uses of these playing cards, and originally planned to trap the beast first.

Unexpectedly, the card started spewing flames at the beast. Bai Ke was startled and wondered if he should withdraw it.

It's really not right to turn one of the spirit beasts in someone's pet into a barbecue meal on your first visit to their spirit beast garden.

Who knew that this strange beast was still going on and on, seemingly unaffected by the raging fire, and even showing a tendency to become more and more ferocious in the battle.

Bai Ke murmured to himself, "Not afraid of fire, and even more so when exposed to fire, like a mythical beast with wings. How interesting!"

At this moment, Ah-Can came over and, seeing the situation, asked with concern, "Young Master, what can be done about this?"

Bai Ke was pondering, staring at the three cards JQK, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, exclaiming, "I've got it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ke waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy was injected into the three cards again to catalyze them. Suddenly, the patterns on the three cards changed again.

Slowly, the image of a soldier holding a gun appeared on the playing card. Both soldiers pointed their guns at the strange beast and attacked it again as if it were alive.

It was unclear what trick the figures in the playing cards were using, but the male beast grew weaker and weaker, no longer displaying its previous ferocious appearance.

A faint wisp of red smoke seemed to be drawn into the air by the soldier's spear.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ke exclaimed with delight, "Just as I expected! Although these playing cards were given by the system and are different from the ones I played before, they are still essentially the same!"

All three of these playing cards I used to play had little figures drawn on them. I think I read about them before, some kind of Western kings from the teens or so, but these cards didn't have any of them, which puzzled me.

As the beast, unafraid of fire, tore at the playing cards, Bai Ke watched intently. Suddenly, he noticed something changing on the cards, and with a thought, he channeled another burst of spiritual energy to catalyze it.

At this moment, the mother beast, who had just given birth, saw that her "lover" had completely lost his fighting ability.

So it whimpered and walked toward Bai Ke, tugging at Bai Ke's trouser leg and pulling it back and forth, trying to beg Bai Ke to spare its life.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ke sighed, "Never mind, it was all just a misunderstanding."

With a wave of his hand, he instantly retrieved all three playing cards into his palm, transforming them into a Tai Chi symbol and hiding them in his hand.

At this moment, Ah-Can came over and touched Bai Ke's palm, his surprise and delight evident.

"What a strange weapon, young master! I've never seen one like it before. But it's amazing! Well, of course, the most important thing is that you, young master, are amazing!"

After saying that, he gave Bai Ke a thumbs-up. Then, he received a flick on the forehead from Bai Ke. "Stop trying to flatter me," Bai Ke said.

Suddenly feeling something strange at his feet, Bai Ke looked down and saw the female beast rubbing her head back and forth against his trouser leg.

He bent down and patted the mother beast's head, saying, "Didn't we already let your 'lover' go? What's wrong now?"

The female beast continued to rub against him, and after a few more rubs, she suddenly grabbed Bai Ke's clothes and pulled him in one direction.
