Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

After the roar echoed outside the cave, the two Giant Pangolins, who had been in a state of unconsciousness behind Charles, seemed to be affected by something. Their previously motionless bodies began to tremble.

After a few breaths, the two Giant Pangolins opened their eyes, looking around in confusion. Upon seeing their young one, they unhesitatingly stuffed it into their belly pockets.

Not only that, but deep within the cave, more sounds began to emerge. Charles turned to look back and instantly noticed several massive figures appearing in the cave behind him.

It was other Giant Pangolins! They were charging towards them like crazy!

"Damn it! What's going on? The Giant Pangolin Leader shouldn't have found us!" Ruby also turned to glance back and noticed one Giant Pangolin after another following closely behind.

She took a deep breath, unable to determine how many Giant Pangolins there were. However, in a cave like this, if they got caught, even she, a Level 7 Beast Master, couldn't be sure she could escape safely.

Not to mention, there was still a Giant Pangolin Leader at the cave's exit.

Mountain Rabbit's reaction was even more intense. As he ran, his legs were unusually stiff, and he nearly fell several times. Luckily, Charles was there to help him continually.

"We're done for! The Giant Pangolin Leader is still outside. If those Giant Pangolins catch up to us, we're finished!" Mountain Rabbit kept shouting.

He had been a guide in the Golden Mountain Range for a long time, and this was the first time he had faced so many dangers in just one day.

Each situation seemed like a certain death, which was driving Mountain Rabbit to the brink of panic.

In this situation, the first person Mountain Rabbit thought of was Charles!

He widened his eyes, staring intently at Charles while running, and shouted, "Mr. Charles, think of something! You're the only one who can come up with a solution!"

It had only been two days since he met Charles.

But Mountain Rabbit had already begun to see him as a lifeline!

Charles remained calm, not panicking at all. As he ran, he reached out to touch the cave walls and suddenly spoke up:

"Do you feel that? The entire cave is shaking!"

"That's probably because of the Giant Pangolins chasing us. With their massive size, some shaking is normal." Ruby replied.

Charles shook his head. The intensity of the wall's vibrations was significant, it wasn't caused by the Giant Pangolins behind them!

Moreover, the sensation of shaking was only getting stronger.

Charles's mind raced as he recalled what Drake had said earlier in the canyon: the volcano beneath the Golden Mountain Range was about to erupt.

It must be the volcanic activity causing these tremors, and the Giant Pangolin Leader outside the cave sensed the danger and called its companions to leave.

What happened next confirmed Charles's thoughts. The shaking of the cave grew increasingly violent, and the ground began to tremble. Above the three of them, stones kept falling, landing on the damp soil.

"Mr. Charles, what's going on?" Mountain Rabbit shouted frantically, pain coursing through his body from the falling rocks.

"Don't ask, just run! Forget about the Giant Pangolin Leader at the cave's exit, it shouldn't attack us!" Charles replied.

Ruby was very confused and asked, "Charles, why do you say that? The Giant Pangolin Leader will surely attack us for invading its territory."

"Trust me, if it attacks and a battle breaks out at the cave's exit, none of the Giant Pangolins behind us will be able to escape, they'll all die!" Charles explained briefly.

He was now using all his speed, because Mountain Rabbit was too slow, Charles had to reach out and grab him.

After using Moon Riding Wind, Charles skillfully dodged the falling stones.

At first, the stones were small, only about the size of a fist, but the situation worsened as larger boulders started to fall, each capable of crushing a Level 3 Beast Master!

If it weren't for Charles's speed and keen observation, he would have been knocked down long ago!

Behind them, cries of agony echoed, these were unfortunate Giant Pangolins injured by falling rocks only to be trampled by their companions.

There was no time to think about that, Charles and Ruby sprinted forward and soon reached the cave's exit!

Just as the two were about to escape successfully, a massive boulder crashed down like a truck, and the ground of the cave suddenly split open. A deep chasm appeared, as if the earth had opened its mouth, filled with a sense of danger!

"Attack! We must destroy that boulder, otherwise, we'll be trapped here!" Charles shouted.

He quickly drew out the black gold long knife, violently channeling three types of energy into it.

The black gold knife glowed and shot swiftly towards the massive boulder!

Teacher Ruby also launched her attack. The yellow earth energy surged around her, and a shockwave of earth energy exploded from between her hands!

The attacks from both of them collided with the falling boulder!

In the next moment, countless cracks appeared on the massive stone.

However, because the stone was too large and very hard, it did not shatter into pieces instantly, a significant portion was still about to block the cave's entrance!

Mountain Rabbit's face turned ghostly pale. He could clearly see the cracks beneath his feet continuing to widen, and if they delayed any longer, the entire cave would collapse into the chasm!

At that moment, a massive figure appeared!

The Giant Pangolin Leader at the cave's exit flashed with yellow light, its body growing even larger.

Without hesitation, it charged directly at the fallen boulder with its enormous body!

In an instant, the stone that had already been attacked by Charles and Ruby could no longer withstand the force and shattered into countless small pieces.

"Go!" Charles continued to run toward the cave's exit without hesitation.

Facing the Giant Pangolin Leader, Mountain Rabbit closed his eyes and clutched Charles's clothing tightly. Yet, the disaster he feared did not happen.

Everything unfolded as Charles had predicted, the Giant Pangolin Leader did not attack them.

Instead, it roared toward the cave, urging its companions to leave quickly!

Just as Charles and the others emerged, the cave behind them collapsed in an instant, and the entire mountain began to shake violently.

Taking a quick glance back, Charles saw the Giant Pangolin Leader desperately clawing at the stones at the cave's entrance, and he sighed.

Very few Giant Pangolins managed to escape alive, only about seven or eight!

The rest were buried within the cave, falling into that massive chasm.

But it wasn't over yet.

After the cave's collapse, the originally straight and smooth cliff began to crack.

The entire mountain started to crumble slowly, as if a fragile foam had been forcibly pried apart.

Charles and the others ran a long distance before finally stopping to catch their breath.

"What on earth happened? How could such a massive mountain split right down the middle?" Mountain Rabbit exclaimed as he collapsed onto the ground, trembling.

His face bore the joy of having survived and the gratitude for Charles not having abandoned him.

"It must be related to the volcano beneath the Golden Mountain Range, which caused this to happen." Charles said slowly.

Ruby patted her chest, still feeling shaken. "If we had hesitated even a moment, we might not have made it out at all!"

That was no exaggeration. If they had wavered even slightly, thinking the Giant Pangolin Leader at the cave's exit would attack them and preparing to defend, they would have definitely wasted some time.

In such a scenario, they could have ended up like the Giant Pangolins that hadn't escaped, falling directly into the chasm!

The three of them stared at the mountain before them, unsure of what to say.

Beast Masters with insufficient levels had no ability to resist the might of nature, even escaping required a bit of luck!

If it were another Level 5 or Level 6 Beast Master, they surely would have perished inside!

Only more powerful Beast Masters could face such dangers without fear and protect themselves and others.

Suddenly,

from within the cracked mountain, a massive chasm began to radiate red and blue light, resembling the aurora, illuminating the entire Golden Mountain Range!

"Look! What is that light?" Mountain Rabbit pointed at the glowing sky.

Without hesitation, Charles activated his Divine Domain to sense the surrounding environment.

Under the illumination of the red and blue light radiating from the chasm, the fire and ice energy around Charles became exceptionally active.

"This must be a manifestation of powerful elemental energy seeping up from the depths of the earth." Ruby concluded.

Charles nodded in agreement, but he felt something strange.

Drake mentioned that there is a volcano beneath the Golden Mountain Range. Even if energy were to seep out, it should only be fire elemental energy. So what is the source of that blue ice elemental energy glow?

It can't possibly be that there is an ice mountain beneath the Golden Mountain Range as well!
