Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

This mission is led by the combat class teacher, with only the students from the elite class participating.

After several months of cultivation, the students of the elite class have mostly reached the Soul Warrior Level, while the students from the ordinary class are still at the Soul Pupil Level.

Although the difficulty of clearing the sewers is not high, it is not something that students at the Soul Pupil Level can handle.

Sun Ming glanced at the sky and said solemnly, "Let's go. The beast tide might erupt at night, so we need to quickly eliminate the Star Beasts lurking in the sewers."

Upon hearing this, the group naturally had no objections.

Under Sun Ming's leadership, the group traversed streets, finally taking an hour to reach the sewer entrance.

On this journey, Chu Chen truly witnessed what it means for the streets to be deserted.

Sun Ming pointed to the huge passage ahead and said in a deep voice, "This is the main entrance to the sewers, with paths leading in all directions. With so few of us, to clear this place in a short time, we must split up; everyone form teams, with preferably balanced strength."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu was the first to step forward, immediately gathering Zhang Yuyan, Cold Face, Gangzi, Skinny, and Ji Mingyue.

Seeing this, Chu Chen was taken aback; his group's strength was too strong, and Sun Ming would not agree.

Zhang Yuyan and Ji Mingyue naturally noticed something was wrong and didn't hesitate, leaving the group to join others.

Both had looks and strength, and upon hearing their desire to form a team, others naturally flocked to them.

Finally, under Sun Ming's mediation, the teams were formed.

The elite class was divided into six teams, each with five members.

The six team leaders were Chu Chen, Zhang Yuyan, Ji Mingyue, Qian Jiadong, Zhao Peng, and Li Jiajun.

After seeing the teams formed, Sun Ming took out six sewer maps from his pocket, distributing them and assigning tasks to the six teams.

Sun Ming clapped his hands and said, "One last reminder: the situation in the sewers is unknown, don't be greedy or rash. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to withdraw immediately, and definitely call for my help. I will remain here; did everyone understand?"

Everyone nodded seriously upon hearing his words.

Seeing this, Sun Ming nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, let's set off now."

As Sun Ming's voice faded, everyone began heading towards the sewer entrance.

The entrance to the sewer was large, about two zhang in diameter, appearing pitch-black inside from a distance as if it were an entrance to hell.

As they approached the entrance, everyone's faces turned grim as a pungent stench overwhelmed their nostrils, making their eyes tear.

Wang Lu, covering his nose and mouth, said with disgust, "This is unbearably foul."

Chu Chen didn't refute this; it was indeed foul.

He felt his Space Belt at his waist, took out a spare piece of clothing, then a bottle of water to wet it.

With force, he tore the clothing into long strips and used them to cover his nose and mouth.

The unpleasant smell diminished significantly, allowing Chu Chen to breathe a sigh of relief as he distributed the strips to Wang Lu and the other four.

Witnessing this, the surrounding classmates did the same, barely passing the first test of entering the sewer.

Next, everyone summoned their Guardian Beasts.

Upon being summoned, the Guardian Beasts started to retch, as their sense of smell was much more acute than humans, and they were utterly incapable of resisting the stench.

Reluctantly, the group had to make large masks for the Guardian Beasts, using the same method as before.

The group continued forward and soon encountered a fork in the road.

Each group leader identified the direction and led their respective teams to proceed separately.

Chu Chen and his group entered the leftmost passage, where the space was large enough to not feel crowded even with five Guardian Beasts walking together.

Only then did Chu Chen have time to observe the Guardian Beasts of the other four.

Gangzi's Guardian Beast was the Iron Armor Giant Lizard, reaching the Third Rank War General Level, and it had already entered the mature stage, standing two meters tall and five meters long.

Its scale armor appeared extremely rough, with numerous intersecting scars, indicating it had experienced many battles recently.

Wang Lu's Angry Wind Elf had reached the Fourth Rank War General Level, also entering the mature stage, although its size hadn't changed much, standing around one meter tall.

Cold Face's Spring Tree Demon had also broken through to the Sub-Generals Level and was currently at Second Rank War General Level, standing over one zhang tall.

Skinny's Guardian Beast was the Earth Rock Rat, currently at the Third Rank War General Level. Upon entering the mature stage, the Earth Rock Rat saw substantial changes, with a shoulder height of one meter and a body length of three meters, its fur sleek and glossy, likely due to good nutrition recently.

Skinny's talent was originally not weak, but his cultivation progress was slow due to his family situation.

Since entering the elite class, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he diligently devoted almost all his time to cultivation.

Chu Chen patted Skinny on the shoulder and said with a smile, "As usual, let the Earth Rock Rat go ahead and scout."

Everyone laughed at once when they heard this.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and the scene of the actual combat assessment seemed just like yesterday.

The Earth Rock Rat scouted ahead while the five followed at a leisurely pace.

Soon, the sound of splashing water reached them, and the five immediately halted.

Skinny eyed the front and said solemnly, "The Earth Rock Rat is back; there might be something up ahead."

A few breaths later, the Earth Rock Rat appeared in front of the five, stopping not far away and emitting a series of urgent squeaks.

"Ahead, there are Star Beasts, probably about a dozen, not very strong, likely around the First or Second Rank War General Level."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Such Star Beasts were not enough to threaten the five of them but served perfectly for their combat synergy.

The five didn't hesitate and proceeded directly forward.

Soon they sighted their targets.

These were rodent-type Star Beasts, thirteen in number, with a body similar to the Earth Rock Rat but a tail twice their body length and fur of a water-blue color.

For caution's sake, Chu Chen decided to consult the Slaughter Atlas to check their information.
