In the hotel.

Ryder had returned to his room.

Alina only obtained that bit of information, so he didn’t stay any longer.

After Ryder left, Giles looked at Alina and asked, “Did you see the Dragon Blood Grass?”

Giles thought it best not to let Ryder know about Alina’s illness. After all, they weren’t considered friends.

Alina shook her head.

“Didn’t you say that the Beast Tamer Association has prepared it for you?” Giles asked curiously.

“The Beast Tamer Association discovered it in the wilderness.. However, it hadn’t matured yet at that time, so they didn’t dare to transplant it just in case they wouldn’t be able to save it.”

“Therefore, they sent some people to guard that place. However, those people were ambushed and killed two days ago. The Dragon Blood Grass was also dug out.”

Alina’s eyes darkened.

Giles understood. Many people would not be able to bear it when hope turns to despair.

“Do you know who did it?” Giles continued asking.

“It should be the Beast Blood Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Giles couldn’t help but feel a tinge of anger.

It’s the Beast Blood Sect again.

Really don’t know why they are everywhere.

“It’s alright. The Beast Tamer Association told me that there’s more than one stalk of Dragon Blood Grass in the wilderness. They’re currently looking for it.”

“Also, the changes made to this competition are actually related to this matter.”

Although she was disappointed, Alina didn’t give up. She blinked and said this optimistically.

Upon hearing this, Giles couldn’t help but sigh.

As expected of the top Chamber of Commerce on the continent. Even the Beast Tamer Association doesn’t dare to slight it.

Moreover, after hearing what Elena said, he felt that it shouldn’t be a huge problem.

After all, there were so many talented Beast Tamers participating in this competition. It should be very easy to find a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass in the wilderness.

After bidding each other goodnight, the two of them returned to their room to sleep.

The night passed uneventfully.

The next day.

Giles woke up early in the morning to wash up. After breakfast with Alina and Ryder, they rushed to the Beast Tamer Association.

The road was packed with people.

Giles didn’t want to continue squeezing his way through, so he walked to the side and summoned the Swan Beast to rush towards the Beast Tamer Association.

From time to time, other flying spirit beasts would fly by in the air. Clearly, they shared the same thoughts as him.

Soon, Giles and Ryder entered the hall of the Beast Tamer Association with their competition pass.

At that moment, there were already many people in the hall. If not for the fact that this place was spacious, it would probably not be able to hold so many people.

Not long after, a gray-haired elder with a beard walked up to the platform in front of everyone.

“Welcome to the friendly match between Beast Tamers from various states.”

“However, the rules of our competition have changed. It’s different from before. Next, please follow me to the outskirts of the city.”

“Let me make it clear first that this competition might be life-threatening. Tell me in advance if you wish to withdraw.”

After saying that, the elderly man paused for a while.

The crowd discussed for a while, but no one backed out. They were also discussing the rules of the competition.

After all, they were all genius Beast Tamers from the various states. If they withdrew before the competition began, wouldn’t they be treated as a joke?

Seeing that no one was backing out, the elder nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he summoned a flying beast and flew out of the city.

Seeing this, the Beast Tamers who were participating in the tournament also summoned their flying beasts and followed the elderly man.

“I’m not participating in the tournament. I’ll be stopped if I go over.”

“I’ll wait for you in the city. You must be careful,” Alina said to Giles.

Giles nodded, then rode with Ryder on his Swan Beast to catch up with the big group.

A while later…

The elderly man and the many contestants arrived at a mountain range outside the city.

“This mountain range is called the Decker Mountain Range. It is the location of our knockout round.”

“According to our investigations, there is a stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect here, as well as a large number of ferocious beasts.”

“All of you need to go in and kill as many members of the Beast Blood Sect and ferocious beasts as possible. You will receive the corresponding points for every member of the Beast Blood Sect and ferocious beasts.”

“These will be recorded with the miniature cameras worn by each of you. There is no possibility of fabricating it.”

“The points will determine your rankings. It will end in three days.”

“The Top 16 will enter the official competition.”

“Oh, right. There’s one more thing. If anyone discovers this herb, they can obtain additional points.”

The elderly man took out a picture and projected it in the air.

Just as Giles had expected, it was the Dragon Blood Grass.

Giles couldn’t help but sigh. The Beast Tamer Association really had a good plan in place.

They took advantage of the Beast Tamer Friendly Match with the many talented Beast Tamers around to help them dissolve the stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect and also search for the Dragon Blood Grass.

He believed that the others knew this as well, but they were all very confident.

They were just being used by the Beast Tamer Association on a one-off basis. After all, they were the organizers of the tournament.

“Is there anything that anyone doesn’t understand?” the elderly man asked.

No one said anything.

“In that case, come up and receive your miniature cameras, everyone.”

Soon, everyone put on their miniature cameras and began to enter the Decker Mountain Range.

Giles and Ryder followed the main group into the mountains.
