Chapter 6: Watching Others Capture Demonic Beasts

Lu Ruxin felt relieved when she realized it was just for observation and learning. "Haha," teased Xiaomengmeng, "scaredy-cat, catching low-level demonic beasts, why are you so afraid? It's not like they're after your life. How can you be so timid?"

"Shut up," Lu Ruxin retorted, annoyed by the spirit's taunting. Defending herself, she added, "You didn't give me any weapons, and it's my first time. Feeling nervous is normal."

"Actually, you don't need to worry. Granny will find easy-to-handle demonic beasts for you. But if you encounter a powerful one on your own, well, that's a different story. Granny has a contract with you, so if you die, she'll need to find another master. It's troublesome. By the way, forgot to tell you, when facing a demonic beast, the beast ring will emit a red light, like it is now," Xiaomengmeng explained.

Lu Ruxin glanced at the beast ring, confirming the red glow. She hadn't noticed this detail earlier due to her nervousness. Continuing down the alley, she asked, "Xiaomengmeng, where are the demonic beasts fighting?"

"Go a bit further, see that utility pole over there? Can you climb over the wall next to it? It's just on the other side," Xiaomengmeng directed.

Lu Ruxin sighed, admitting she could climb walls. Growing up in the countryside, playing with wild kids, she had acquired such skills.

Climbing over the wall using the utility pole, Lu Ruxin witnessed a fierce battle between two beasts: a majestic lion covered in golden fur and a creature resembling a bull with wild boar-like spikes. The lion dodged the bull's attacks with agility, showcasing its dominance.

Curious, Lu Ruxin asked, "Xiaomengmeng, why is this lion so big? It's two or three meters tall, much fiercer than zoo animals. I really want to touch its fur; it must feel amazing."

"Silly girl, that's a demonic beast, not a zoo animal. Don't even dream of touching it. It's the king among beasts, dominating even in the demonic realm. Be careful, don't do anything foolish. Witnessing this is a high-level battle, correction, it's a one-sided slaughter by the lion. Learn from it," Xiaomengmeng cautioned.

Indeed, as Granny mentioned, the golden lion was effortlessly overpowering the spiked bull. Lu Ruxin shivered, realizing the lion's roar and the bull's cries were oddly subdued, and even their impact on the surrounding walls was minimal.

"Stupid girl, during battles with demonic beasts, the laws of the world protect human society. Capturing demonic beasts is a secret matter; otherwise, it would cause panic. See that white cover? It protects us. Once the white light disappears, we must escape quickly. Demonic beasts have sharp senses; they might detect us like this," Xiaomengmeng warned.
