The Interstellar's Expert Plant Tamer

The boy in green at the front took out a flare from his backpack, and raised his hand to fire it. However, in his panic, his hand shook and the flare flew out diagonally, hit a tall tree trunk and missed the air above the trees.

“What’s wrong with you?!” The boys behind him, their faces red with anxiety, shouted.

“Stop it, get ready to fight.” The other boy had a shiny dagger in his hand, and looked cautiously at the incoming path.

Twelve hyenas ran up to them and surrounded them. The four men’s faces tightened, as they looked around while standing back to back. The hyenas’ eyes glowed with greed, and there was a low aggressive sound in their throats.

“I’m so fucking sorry. Just for 100,000, maybe my life will be on the line!”

“Julos said they were here, but they’re gone all of a sudden. We’ve been played!”

“Shut up,” the boy who hadn’t spoken scolded. “They’re moving.”

As soon as his words fell, the hyenas around them pounced on them, and for a while, the scene became chaotic.

Soon, the smell of blood spread through the air. The four men in green, and the hyenas were all wounded.

Not far away, as he crouched in the bushes to watch the scene, Xie Sen subconsciously held his breath, his face slightly white. This bloody scene reminded him of the beginning of the apocalypse when civilians were surrounded by zombies.

A sudden warmth touched his shoulders. Xie Sen turned his head, and saw Maine’s worried look in the dim light emanating from the fight. His heart suddenly settled, and he smiled to signal that he was okay.

Bai Jiao spoke up, “They can’t hold out much longer.”

The four boys were all male contract beast masters with good fighting abilities, but they were still no match for a pack of hyenas three times their size.

Maine’s eyes were cold as he looked at the fight. His voice wasn’t warm, “Wait a little longer.”

The four men in green had more and more wounds on their bodies. The speed of their attacks was gradually slowing down. Two hyenas were killed by them, while the remaining hyenas attacked more fiercely. The whole field was a harsh howling.

Suddenly, a boy in green was pounced on by a hyena, and fell to the ground. The hyena lowered its head, and bit him on the neck.

Xie Sen’s eyes widened abruptly. He reflexively summoned the chili pepper bush, exchanged chili peppers, and mentally ordered the chili peppers to scurry towards the hyena and explode into powder.

Only after the order, the hyena had a dagger in it’s head. It didn’t even wail as it fell to the side.

Xie Sen hurriedly commanded in his mind, “Come back.”

The chili branch that scurried next to the hyena instantly retracted. Xie Sen turned his head. Maine stood up, and looked down at him. “You wait here.”

The hyenas wailed as he ran out with Long Teng at his side, and the two men struck fast and hard.

The hyenas soon realized that their opponents were very strong, and divided four of them to deal with the men in green, while the other six were divided into two groups to deal with Maine and Long Teng.

Xie Sen looked at Maine nervously. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his back.

In the dense forest behind them, a row of green eyes appeared.

He hurriedly grabbed Bai Jiao’s arm, and gulped nervously. “Back…Behind.”

Bai Jiao, whose attention was on the battlefield, turned his head to look and his face changed. “We have to get out of here. The smell of blood is attracting the beasts.”
