A burst of light heralded the arrival of three pet beasts in front of the Jeep.

Moo Zhen's pet, a Horned Rhinoceros, was a common attribute beast. Its size indicated maturity, with a level at least at the second rank, fifth layer.

Yin Xuan's choice was a Wind Slice Mantis, a creature of the wind attribute. Similarly mature, its level hovered around the second rank, sixth layer.

Kong Qian, the strongest of the group, commanded a mature Rock Bear. This earth attribute beast stood at the ninth layer of the second rank, on the cusp of advancing to the third rank.

Tung Yaying quickly followed suit, summoning her pet, a rare flying attribute beast at the second rank, fifth layer.

Altogether, the adventure team boasted four second rank pets, with the Rock Bear at the top, nearing the third rank.

Within the Lakeshell adventurer community, this team's prowess placed them solidly in the middle tier.

After all, Lakeshell was merely a third-tier city, where the adventurer's overall skill level wasn't particularly high.

Over ninety percent of the adventurers were apprentice Beastmasters, with second rank pets as their norm.

Xie Yang stood out as the sole apprentice to possess a third rank pet beast.

He pulled out his battle recorder and then called forth his own pet.

In an instant, the Ice Crystal Soul materialized beside him, its chilling presence instantly cutting through the surrounding heat.

Kong Qian and the others quickly turned their attention to the Ice Crystal Soul, their expressions betraying their puzzlement.

What kind of pet beast was this?

None of them had encountered such a creature before. Yet, they refrained from questioning.

Probing into another's strength and secrets was a major faux pas among adventurers.

Besides, not recognizing every pet beast was normal; encountering unfamiliar ones was part and parcel of their world.

The Death Bell Beetles approached rapidly, soon reaching the Jeep.

It was only then that Xie Yang got a good look at them. They were roughly the size of a large dog, resembling oversized black ladybugs.

Protruding from their heads were horn-like structures, capable of emitting devastating sonic attacks.

This is how the Death Bell Beetles got their name.

When the distance closed to just over ten meters, the Death Bell Beetles halted abruptly. Their horns retracted sharply, then shot out with force.

A thunderous boom, reminiscent of a tolling death bell, erupted, transforming into invisible sound waves that surged toward Xie Yang and his companions.

The air around them twisted violently.

The group was ready, deploying their defensive Soul Techniques without hesitation.

Five Soul Power shields sprang up, encasing them and their pets within.

The warped sound waves battered against the shields, stirring ripples across their surface, yet leaving everyone completely unscathed.

Tung Yaying had intended to use her shield to protect Xie Yang and his pets, but to her astonishment, he had already mastered Soul Protection. She was taken aback.

Level one Soul Protection could safeguard only the user.

Level two Soul Protection extended its defense to the user and their chosen targets.
