Apprentice Beast Tamers themselves lacked the qualification to directly charge into battle; they mainly stayed in the rear, commanding their beasts and providing firearm support.
“Viper, hit that Lion-Tiger Beast with a dose of Snake Venom! Damn, that thing’s strength is already at the peak of the low-grade Ferocious Beasts!”
“Don’t rush. Your Violent Lion hasn’t even entered its berserk state yet—it’s far from dying. I’ll go support Doghead’s side first.”
Zhou Ming, known as Viper, understood that his contracted beast, Inkband, wasn’t suited for frontal combat. So, he positioned himself as a backline opportunist.
Using Inkband’s slender and agile body, coupled with its Paralyzing Snake Venom, he specialized in sneak attacks—striking at critical moments to aid struggling allies.
Though the Paralyzing Snake Venom couldn’t instantly kill its targets, it significantly weakened the enemy’s power.
Seeing his effectiveness, several nearby Beast Tamers moved closer, naturally forming a temporary battle team.
With Zhou Ming’s Inkband secretly assisting, their beasts faced less pressure, allowing everyone to quickly grow familiar with one another.
“You know how my Violent Lion gets—once it enters its weakened state, it’s basically meat on a chopping board.”
“Hurry up! I can’t hold out much longer!”
He shouted while raising his gun to support his beast. Unless it was the last resort, he would never trigger its berserk mode.
Moments later—
“Viper! Support Lion King! I can handle it now!”
Doghead shouted as the beast he commanded escaped danger after being bitten by Inkband.
“On it.”
“Lion King, create an opening for me.”
“Got it.”
Under Zhou Ming’s control, Inkband darted through the battlefield like a nimble electric scooter weaving between cars.
“Now!”
The Lion King, seeing Inkband in position, commanded his Violent Lion to engage the Lion-Tiger Beast head-on.
Seizing the opportunity, Inkband struck—sinking its fangs into the Lion-Tiger Beast before swiftly retreating.
“Beautiful! Let’s see how long this Lion-Tiger Beast can keep roaring now!”
Under Lion King’s control, the Violent Lion, which had been on the defensive, roared and launched a fierce assault.
“Boom!”
A thunderous explosion echoed from afar. Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhou Ming shifted part of his attention toward the distance.
