Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 561: Danger
Less than a day had passed since the start of the genius contest between Kingston and Genosha, and already there had been a death.
Of the five genius Beast Masters from Kingston, only four remained.
Countless viewers watching the live broadcast began analyzing the progress. The majority of them had similar thoughts: the final victory would undoubtedly go to Genosha's team.
Miles Carter and Skylar had been severely worn down by Charles. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and it would take at least two or three days for them to fully recover.
During these two or three days, Genosha's team would definitely make the most of the time, hunting mystical beasts relentlessly to collect Blood-red Jade, gaining a massive advantage.
If everything went smoothly, Charles and his team wouldn't need to stay in the red zone for the full seven days; they could leave a day or two earlier.
That extra day or two would be just the time Miles Carter and Skylar needed to recover.
In the Celestial City official live stream, Flint watched the barrage of comments and nodded in agreement, though deep down, he knew that Kingston's genius Beast Masters still had some hidden cards up their sleeves!
They didn't need to hunt ferocious beasts to get Blood-red Jade. As long as they could kill Charles and his team, the victory in this contest would still belong to Kingston.
If Charles's side let their guard down and Miles Carter and the others found an opportunity, everything could be reversed!
Flint addressed the millions of viewers in the live stream, saying directly: "Looking at the situation now, Charles and his team have a significant advantage, but nothing in this world is absolute. In the end, who will win depends on how things develop. There probably won't be any major conflicts tonight, so everyone can take a break."
The contest was set to last for seven days, and not every moment would involve combat. Most of the time was spent watching the two teams travel, occasionally hunting ferocious beasts that got in their way.
Compared to the chase between Charles and Miles Carter and Skylar, this was almost unbearably boring.
There were multiple streams for this contest, each focusing on different aspects. Some were dedicated to streaming Luna and Zachary, while others followed Serena, Evan, and their group.
Among the various streams, aside from the Celestial City official one, the one dedicated to streaming Charles personally had the most viewers.
With no exciting battles happening, the stream dedicated to Charles saw its viewership skyrocket to over 1.2 million!
In Genosha, within Calivia, the night was already late, but the lights in the city remained bright, just like daytime.
Countless people from Genosha were glued to the live broadcast, including their Emperor, Miles.
Across all of Genosha, no one was indifferent to the battle between Charles and the others. Even the homeless on the streets would be found watching the live stream on big screens in restaurants or plazas.
At this moment, in the palace of Calivia, Genosha, Miles was quickly finishing his dinner. He didn't want to waste precious time on something as trivial as eating.
"Your Majesty, take your time. Charles and Luna are making great progress. One of Kingston's genius Beast Masters is already dead. They won't be having any conflict with Charles for a while," a minister said slowly.
Despite this, Miles didn't slow down in his eating. He wanted to continue watching Charles's progress.
It had to be said that all the advantages had been created by Charles alone. Whether it was chasing down Miles Carter and Skylar, or killing one of Kingston's genius Beast Masters, only Charles could pull off such feats.
No other genius could do what Charles had done.
Suddenly, Miles thought of something, and his expression became somewhat forlorn. He immediately felt that the food in his mouth had no taste.
Miles sighed and said with some concern, "Now, it's not just Genosha and Kingston's people who are watching this contest. The Seven Kingdoms of the Abyssal Depths are all tuned into the live broadcast."
"The better Charles performs, the more attention he'll attract. What will happen if other powerful nations want him to join them?"
"Compared to other nations, Genosha is indeed somewhat weak. We don't have much to offer Charles. What should we do?"
The thought of Charles being poached by another country made Miles feel like the ground beneath him was collapsing.
Thankfully, a minister reassured him, "Your Majesty, that won't happen. Charles is a person who values loyalty and bonds. He will remember everyone who has treated him well and won't easily choose another country."
Miles took a deep breath and said decisively, "Tomorrow morning, contact Celestial City. Tell them that once the contest is over, I will personally go to Celestial City to welcome Charles!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire palace fell silent. For an emperor of one nation to personally go to another country to welcome a genius was something that had never happened in Genosha's history!
Genosha had been established for many years, and the highest form of honor had been the emperor personally waiting at the gates of Calivia for the return of national heroes. To go to another country to welcome someone, however, was an even higher level of respect!
Some ministers were about to speak up, but they were immediately silenced by Miles's sharp gaze. Miles spoke seriously, "Anyone who opposes this is hindering the development of Genosha, and they are traitors!"
The next day, as the sky began to lighten, Charles was already ready to set off. He had Mia fly in the air, keeping an eye on the road ahead.
Before the contest had started, Charles had made an agreement with Luna and the others about where they would meet up. At the time, he had thought that Miles Carter and Skylar would continue to delay him, so they had planned to meet on the fifth day, at a certain location in the central canyon region.
But now, they had to meet a few days earlier, and he had no idea where Luna and the others were.
Luckily, Charles's speed was much faster than Luna's team, and with Mia flying overhead, observing, he was able to quickly avoid some ferocious beasts, saving him a lot of time.
By evening, he had already found traces left by Luna and the others.
That night, the moon hung high in the sky. By the campfire, Zachary absentmindedly poked at the flames with a stick.
Luma lay on the ground, staring at the moon and stars, lost in thought.
The atmosphere was quiet, as everyone wondered about Charles's current situation. Was he in danger? Had something unexpected happened? Or had he been chased by Miles Carter and Skylar, putting him in a dangerous position?
Zachary, a bit irritated, threw the stick into the fire and suddenly spoke up:
"Luna, how about you and Finn go ahead tomorrow? I'm much slower than you guys, and there aren't many ferocious beasts around here. If we keep dragging things out like this, we'll only be wasting the time Charles fought hard to buy for us."
Luma sat up abruptly, looking at Luna and Finn, and said, "Yeah, Zachary and I are fine. If we encounter any ferocious beasts, we'll hunt them if we can, and run if we can't."
Finn, who had been keeping watch around them, furrowed his brow and said directly, "Actually, we're not that slow. We're even faster than we thought. If we split up, you two will be too vulnerable."
Luna nodded in agreement.
The red zone still had some incredibly powerful ferocious beasts. If Zachary and Luma ran into one, they would likely have no chance of resisting.
Some ferocious beasts were so dangerous that even the four of them would have to find a way to escape.
Zachary sighed, feeling a bit frustrated. "I know our speed is a bit faster than we thought, but... our time is all thanks to the effort Charles put in. I don't want to waste it like this."
Like Luma, Zachary felt a deep sense of guilt and responsibility. If they were stronger, Charles wouldn't have to face such powerful enemies alone.
Finn didn't know what else to say. He could only quietly murmur, "I wonder how Charles is doing right now. His situation probably isn't good."
Silence fell, broken only by the crackling of the campfire.
As the group was thinking about Charles's current situation, a piercing bell rang out—Finn's warning trap had been triggered.
The trap being set off meant something was approaching.
Instantly, everyone tensed up, standing and preparing for battle.
The next moment, a huge figure slowly emerged from the darkness. Finn only took one look, and immediately, a feeling of dread filled his heart.
It was a ferocious beast known as the Giant Lion-Tiger Beast, one of the most powerful ferocious beasts in the red zone!
Its strength was so overwhelming that even the four of them together were no match for it!
Luna, acting as the temporary leader, wasted no time. She immediately gave the order: "Run! Scatter and run!"
However, before they could retreat, a few pairs of green eyes appeared in the night, and despair immediately gripped their hearts.
Another threat had appeared!
In the moonlight, Finn clearly saw the new mystical beasts that had appeared—Shadow Warwolves, a group of them from the red zone! These were also beings they couldn't defeat!
They were incredibly unlucky, caught between the Shadow Warwolves and the Giant Lion-Tiger Beast.
The expressions on their faces were filled with hopelessness. It seemed they had been caught in the middle of a conflict between the Giant Lion-Tiger Beast and the Shadow Warwolves. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Zachary clenched his lips tightly, holding still and trying to avoid drawing the attention of the ferocious beasts. In a low voice, he said, "Luna, you guys go ahead first. I'll try to draw their attention."
Luma's voice followed, "You can't handle it alone. Let me come with you. Luna, if you see Charles later, tell him I'm sorry. I've let him down."
