When Xiao Yu walked out of the Watch Tower, Fearless and Killer Codename 38 were guarding outside nervously. They looked like loyal underlings that could start a battle anytime. They had heard sounds of battling inside the tower just now, but because the space was limited inside and Xiao Yu did not call them in, they stayed where they were. Now that they saw Xiao Yu coming out of the tower, they immediately went up to him.

“So, Boss, is everything settled?”

“Yes,” said Xiao Yu. “Why does it feel like a gang negotiation?”

“We’ll go back to the camp now.”

“Good evening, everyone. The animals in the forest are always exceptionally sensitive in the night, so why don’t I escort all of you?” A slightly hoarse voice could be heard suddenly from behind.

“Who!?” Everyone abruptly turned around, but when Xiao Yu saw that the one speaking was the Black Panther, he was instantly stunned.

“You can speak?”

“It’s an ability that has just evolved. Originally, I did not want to waste this Evolution Point, but it would be more convenient if I could speak like this. Considering the fact that we need to communicate in the Battle of the Five Armies the day after tomorrow, I thought it would be better to be able to speak.”

“Such a function could be evolved too? F*ck—this evolution system is exceptionally miraculous.”

“Of course, it’s not only the ability to speak. If I had enough Evolution Points, you wouldn’t even be able to imagine what I could evolve into. I might be able to even evolve into a Beast Machine in Transformers.” Maybe it was because he could not speak previously, so it was all bottled up. Once he started speaking, Death Claw could not stop.

A Goblin and a Black Panther walked side by side while the others followed behind.

The two of them chatted as they traveled. Truthfully speaking, Xiao Yu was really quite curious because amongst all of the Monster Modes, Wild Beast Mode could be counted as one of the most special ones.

Firstly, the distribution of Wild Beast players was the most widespread—nearly every region had them. Also, the number of types of Wild Beasts one could choose was the highest—wolves, dogs, tigers, deer, sheep, cows, pigs, chickens, all kinds of birds, or even the fishes in the sea belonged within the Wild Beast Mode.

However, although their number was the highest, there was no especially powerful force among the Wild Beasts, or one could even say that there was no concept of a force. The reason was simple: their intelligence was too low. Thus, Wild Beasts were called Wild Beasts.

Even if it was a Wild Beast species that lived in groups, it would only be a community comprised of at most tens of Wild Beasts.

As they had no force, it could be said that everyone was enemies to Wild Beasts. Not only were they hostile towards Adventurers, monsters from different Monster Forces would also hunt down Wild Beasts. Even within Wild Beasts, different animals were also enemies.

It could be said that to a Wild Beast Mode player, everything in the forest that could move was red-named besides Wild Beasts of the same type.

As compensation, the initial stats and Stat Points given through leveling were more than ordinary what Goblins or Gnolls received. As such, in the beginning of the game, if soloing, Wild Beasts were always the most difficult wild monsters to face. However, Wild Beasts also had their disadvantages, which was that they could not wear equipment. In place of that was the Evolution system.

Although Wild Beasts were powerful, it was impossible for them to be the Adventurers’ opponents, not to mention the opponents of groups of monsters.

It was definitely not simple for a wild beast to advance to Elite Mode, thus that made Xiao Yu curious about Death Claw.

He had created a Wild Beast Mode character before, but he was unable to adapt to the playstyle at all. Firmament was an immersive game, which meant that when one played the Wild Beast Mode, everything they did had to be done like a wild beast, such as moving on all fours or using their mouth to bite enemies. Although Elemental Creatures were weird too, at least they walked on two feet and the line of sight was not that different from that of a humanoid creature, thus Xiao Yu was unable to get used to the Wild Beast Mode at all.

“Don’t you find it weird walking on all fours?”

Death Claw nodded. “It was a little weird in the beginning, but after you get used to it, you find walking on fours much more comfortable than walking with two feet. Also, the experience of playing the Wild Beast Mode is very new. When you run under the moonlight alone in the vast land, when you lie on a tree and pay attention to the subtle movements of the grass as the wind blows, or when you stealthily hide in the darkness and gradually creep up to the prey and suddenly deal the deadly blow. When you bite the prey’s throat in one shot, that feeling… tsk, tsk, is filled with wildness and a primitive charm. It gives you a burst of adrenaline. There’s nothing more wonderful than that.”

Death Claw’s extremely vivid description made Xiao Yu feel a strange sense of admiration towards him. “Is this guy really a genius, or just a maniac?”

“Don’t you find it disgusting when you bite people?”

“Of course not, it’s just a game. Not to mention the taste system can be deactivated in this game. If you want to experience the lifestyle of a wild beast, I can help and guide you.”

Alright, Xiao Yu thought that Death Claw’s mental fortitude was strong. If it were him, Xiao Yu would not be able to take it. However, he knew that because there were various types of Modes in this game, there were some people that would want to experience a different lifestyle in the game.

“Nevermind, it’s too troublesome to play a wild beast, and there are too many limitations in the later stages. I am a professional player, so I don’t have that kind of free time.”

“Professional player? Hehe, I see.” Death Claw let out a thoughtful smile.

The Goblin and Black Panther did not speak anymore and just walked in silence. Night Whisper Forest was indeed strange at night. The breeze blew and the trees made rustling sounds as if someone was whispering. Xiao Yu suddenly understood that this was how Night Whisper Forest’s name came about.

After 10 or so minutes, the Goblin camp finally appeared in Xiao Yu’s eyes. Thank God they had finally arrived.

He heaved a sigh of relief for no reason. Having such a weird wild beast beside him brought a lot of pressure! He had never felt so happy to see the simple and crude camp in front of him. Xiao Yu turned back and realized that the Black Panther had already disappeared.

“Tsk, it’s just that you know Stealth Move. Do you need to be that mysterious?”

After returning to the Camp, Xiao Yu saw that it was quite late, so he went to bed.

After waking up the next morning, Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to enter the game at all, as everything was right on track. There was nothing for him to do even if he went into the game, thus Xiao Yu decided to scout Night Whisper Village.

He chose to create a new character. This time, he selected Civilian Mode, and his race was Night Elf. His birth place was Night Whisper Village and his character name was—Alucard Night, a very ordinary Night Elf name. His principle for his names was to follow the style of the game so that people would think his name belonged to an NPC. To be even more cautious, he specially studied relevant race knowledge. Thus, it would be difficult for others to discover that he was a player with the name he had chosen.

He realized that players naturally had a sense of superiority and were more willing to speak when facing NPCs; they would almost always tell NPCs private secrets. It was a huge benefit for others to think that Xiao Yu was an NPC, so Xiao Yu would never choose a name that was too weird.
