This was the weakness of Apprentice Beast Tamers. Even if their Beast Tamer companions could withstand the snake venom within the smoke, their owners were far too fragile.
Without having prepared gas masks in advance, death was the only outcome.
“Big brother, they didn’t chase after us. What kind of grenade did you use?”
While fleeing on his Beast Tamer companion, Yang Yi heard the explosion from behind. Seeing that the hunters chasing him did not continue pursuing, he grew curious about Zhou Ming’s methods.
The protective suits those people wore were no simple matter. Ordinary grenades would have been hard-pressed to threaten them, especially with Beast Tamer companions reacting in time to protect them.
“Stop talking nonsense. Keep heading toward Ghost Cavern Ridge. We’d better enter the karst caves tonight.”
“Why?”
He was very familiar with the situation inside the underground karst caves. If not for his father sending people to rescue him in time, he would most likely not have made it out alive.
After hearing Zhou Ming’s instructions, Yang Yi felt some resistance.
“You think that dealing with the people behind us means you can safely return to the Base?”
Regarding the current situation, Zhou Ming did not feel optimistic at all, especially after seeing Yang Yi’s two-headed Gale Wolf Beast Tamer companion.
Given its current condition, it already possessed the potential to advance to a Professional Beast Tamer.
If the class advancement were to Phantasmal Tamer, the two-headed Gale Wolf could awaken two opposing elemental attributes. In the future, advancing to the Legendary Saint profession of Elemental Annihilator would not even require finding a second suitable Beast Tamer companion.
Of course, this was merely a hypothesis.
Since the establishment of the Alliance for several hundred years, even counting the Legendary Saints who had already died in battle, the total number had not exceeded ten.
After all, before the Doomsday Era, Blue Star had no transcendent power. Its main development focus had been technological strength.
Without sufficient foundations to support it, even over several hundred years, it was extremely difficult for more Legendary Saints to emerge.
Therefore, the probability of Yang Yi becoming a Legendary Saint was essentially zero, but the probability of advancing to a Professional Beast Tamer was very high.
If he became a Professional Beast Tamer, the Yang Family’s shortcomings would be filled, and it would no longer be just an ordinary commercial family in the future.
Perhaps it was precisely because others knew of the changes in Yang Yi’s Beast Tamer companion that the current situation had occurred.
As for why the Yang Family did not deliberately protect Yang Yi, it might have been because they considered that such actions would instead attract the attention of competitors.
After all, as long as Yang Yi did not reveal the mutated two-headed Gale Wolf, competitors would not easily make a move against an unthreatening Yang Yi. Doing so would instead provoke retaliation from the Yang Family, making it not worth the loss.
However, once Yang Yi’s situation became known, the attitude toward him would naturally be different.
After hearing Zhou Ming’s rhetorical question, Yang Yi also fell silent.
When the external threats temporarily disappeared, Yang Yi, who was not particularly foolish, immediately grasped Zhou Ming’s meaning.
After all, as the son of the Yang Family’s chairman, even if he were a piece of trash, with sufficient educational resources backing him, his intelligence would still improve to some extent.
Entering the underground karst caves and relying on the complex environment to shake off their pursuers was their only chance of survival.
Without asking further questions, Yang Yi immediately urged his Beast Tamer companion to increase speed.
