Chapter 689 Blood Wolves
'Beast Essence Orb?'
Leo didn't have to use his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to learn about the orb that came out of the burning body of a Blood Hyena because he had seen it and even used it many times.
However, he was shocked to see the appearance of the Beast Essence Orb coming out of the Blood Hyena.
'Didn't Uncle Grey say that only the Beast Tamers and their contracted beast would drop the Essence Orb? Then why did this Blood Hyena drop a Beast Essence Orb?'
Leo recalled Uncle Grey's words which made him confused.
Nevertheless, he still walked over and picked the Beast Essence Orb and checked the information about it to see whether he could find a reason why it was dropped.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
…
Item Name: Beast Essence Orb.
Item Grade: Level 10 Silver Grade.
Use: Any beast can use it to increase its strength and the increment in its strength would depend on the strength of the beast that consumed the orb.
Note: Lower the strength of the Beast, the higher the increment in its strength would be.
…
However, what Leo got in his head was the common knowledge that he had already known about the Beast Essence Orb.
There was no specific reason whatsoever to make Leo understand the appearance of the Beast Essence Orb.
'So be it. I will just let one of my beasts use it.'
After seeing that there was no information from the [Quasi Divine Talent], Leo stopped thinking about it as he tossed the Beast Essence Orb to the Space Moon Hound.
"Space, absorb it."
Since the Space Moon Hound was his contracted beast and its strength was only at level 3 Silver Grade, Leo decided to focus on it.
'If I get more Silver Grade Essence Orbs, I should give them to the Thunder Bears and the Mystic Owl.'
In order not to get confused later, Leo had already decided a list of beasts he should focus on, in the Silver Grade.
As for the Nightmare Butterfly, Leo doesn't have to worry about increasing its strength because it could become stronger on its own by absorbing the essence from the nightmares of its enemies.
….
Time continued to pass as Leo and his group of beasts continued to walk deeper into the Blood Valley.
Along the way, they encountered various types of beasts belonging to the Blood-Element just like Blood Hyenas; however, unlike the Blood Hyenas, the strength of the Beasts continued to increase the deeper they went into the Blood Valley.
Nevertheless, under the combined attacks of Leo's beasts, those beasts didn't stand a chance before getting killed and some of them even left the Beast Essence Orbs, making Leo excited.
"Everyone, let's use this chance to fight more beasts and increase your strengths."
Before coming to the Blood Valley, Leo and his beasts never fought and didn't have much combat experience.
Therefore, Leo decided to fight more beasts in the blood valley to increase both the combat experience and the strength of the beasts using the Beast Essence Orb.
'In just two hours, we encountered more than 100 beasts and among which 50 of them were Gold Grade.'
Looking at the 10 silver and gold-coloured orbs in his head, Leo silently muttered to himself.
For every 10 or so beasts that Leo and his beasts killed, one beast would drop a Beast Essence Orb.
This was what Leo observed from the fights he and his beasts fought in the Blood Valley.
'Even though the drop rate is only 10 percent, there were thousands of beasts in the Blood Valley alone. Hence, I can collect hundreds of Beast Essence Orb.'
Leo was excited after figuring out the drop rate of the Beast Essence Orbs.
'I will continue to accumulate more of these Beast Essence Orbs and let them break through their strength naturally.'
After giving away the first Silver Grade Beast Essence Orb to the Space Moon Hound, Leo encountered a group of peak Silver Grade Beasts and while fighting them, his beasts naturally breakthrough, making Leo conclude to stop giving them the Beast Essence Orbs.
'Let them have some serious combat experience with the wild beasts from the Blood Valley and when they hit the bottleneck, these Beast Essence Orbs would be helpful.'
This was what Leo thought in his head as he started accumulating the Beast Essence Orbs.
Since he had a lot of beasts and would have more beasts in the future, these Beast Essence Orbs won't go to waste.
What's more, in the worst-case scenario, he could still give them to the Family and make the contracted beasts in the family increase their strength.
Soon, Leo and his beasts started fighting the beasts and killed them to get the combat experience and Beast Essence Orbs.
"Roar"
After another two hours, Leo and his beasts finally encountered a horde of powerful beasts.
10 level 10 Gold Grade Blood wolves that were led by a level 1 Purple Grade Blood Wolf King.
All their eyes were on the Celestial Forest Howler as though they wanted to devour it.
"It looks like this time I will be using my contract skills."
Until now, Leo had only ordered his beasts to use their skills to kill the beasts that attacked them; however, he didn't use any of his contracted skills.
Looking at the strong line-up of Blood Wolves in front of him, Leo knew that this time, things would be different and he had to personally take action this time.
'Swoosh'
'Swoosh'
Except for the Blood Wolf King, the remaining Blood Wolves had already started attacking and their main target was Celestial Forest Howler.
"Frosty, Freeze them all. And as for the others, just use your powerful attack and go for the kill."
On the other hand, Leo didn't stay idle either as he gave the orders to his beasts.
Since there were multiple strong beasts around them, Leo didn't want to waste his time and wanted to kill as many beasts as possible before the Blood Wolves could realize what was happening.
