The team had just reached the city gate of St. Paul City when someone finally mustered his courage and suddenly said, “I want to leave the team!”

Captain Alice, who was walking at the front, slowly stopped and asked in confusion, “Why?”

That young man looked like a victim who had just realized that he had been deceived. He said very angrily, “Other beast-catching teams have at least ten members, and there are at least two Beast Tamers with contractual spiritual beasts leading those teams.”

“However, we only have these few people. Furthermore, the Captain is still an incompetent Beast Tamer who has just signed a contract with a spiritual beast. How can I leave the city at ease? You’d better return my Silver Coins to me quickly! Otherwise, I’ll have to find the city guards!”

This young man deliberately expressed his dissatisfaction when they were about to leave the city. He wanted to take the opportunity to ask the city guard to help him return his 10 pitiful Silver Coins.

After all, to be able to join such an amateur beast-catching team, one’s family must be very poor.

These 10 Silver Coins did not sound like much, but it was enough for an ordinary person to spend on half a month’s worth of food.

Thus, the others, including Adrian, were all delighted after hearing the young man’s words.

Perhaps they could really make a fuss here and attract the attention of the city guards. Then, they could take the opportunity to get Alice to return their money.

At the thought of this, the rest of them quickly started to cheer and said, “Alice, quickly return the money to us. Otherwise, you are cheating us!”

“After all, when we joined the team, you said that there would be a powerful Beast Tamer leading the team!”

“However, I still haven’t seen any skilled Beast Tamers. You have to give us a reasonable explanation immediately!”

Apart from Adrian, who was not interested, the others in the team all pretended to be miserable and pitiful as they criticized Alice. It was obvious that they wanted to gain sympathy from the passers-by.

After listening to her teammates patiently, Alice couldn’t help but grin and confidently say, “Don’t worry, I’m that very strong Beast Tamer.”

“I swear that I will capture spiritual beasts that will belong to you and do my best to protect you. All you have to do is listen to me, your Captain.”

“However, if anyone wants to leave the team, they can leave now. The fee for joining the team will not be refunded.”

“As for the others, if you don’t want to sleep out in the wilderness at night, we’d better leave immediately.”

After she finished speaking, Alice did not have the time to bother with these whining people. She directly got into the carriage, looking as if she was not afraid of the city guards finding trouble with her.

And those city guards really didn’t find trouble with Alice. After all, they were so busy every day that they didn’t have the time to get involved in such trivial matters.

Seeing that his teammates were unable to get back their Silver Coins, Adrian knew that there was no way he could do so either. Thus, he could only smile bitterly and get into the carriage.

Alice looked at the handsome man beside her and remembered that Adrian did not kick up a fuss to leave the team. She could not help but show an appreciative look and asked, “What’s your name?”

Adrian laughed dryly and honestly told her his name.

“It’s a very nice name.” Alice praised him. Then, she stopped talking.

When the other team members saw that the city guards did not care about this matter, they could only bear with the pain and return to St. Paul City, partly because they did not trust Alice, and partly because they cared about their lives.

As for the remaining people, they were mainly reluctant to part with their 10 Silver Coins. Thus, they got onto the carriage and left their fate to luck.

In the end, this team, which originally had seven people, now only had four people left. Thus was almost half of the number of people in professional beast-catching teams. It could be said to be a very risky team.

However, Alice did not care about this result at all. She simply closed her eyes and rested, obviously too lazy to ask the other two members for their names. It seemed as if only Adrian could pique her interest slightly.

At this moment, Adrian was feeling hesitant and worried. He didn’t expect himself to leave the city so foolishly at all.

However, Adrian soon became excited again.

This was the outside world! The world outside the city!

Along the way, Adrian kept admiring the view outside the window.

He looked like a newborn baby, greedily mobilizing all his senses and immersing himself in this wonderful and amazing new world.



The carriage traveled from day to night. Finally, it stopped in Syr Town, which was their destination.

The spiritual beasts mainly appeared in deep mountains and dense forests. There were a large number of strange spiritual beasts that would attack humans there. If one were to rashly barge in, they might be torn into pieces by those extremely powerful spiritual beasts!

Meanwhile, Syr Town was the most suitable place to enter the Spiritual Beast Forest within a few hundred miles of the forest.

Firstly, this small town had all kinds of supplies and resources that the beast-catching teams needed. Secondly, since there were beast-catching teams constantly entering the Spiritual Beast Forest through a fixed route, it was safer to take the route that the previous people had taken as compared to other unfamiliar passages.

At this moment, Alice seemed to have sensed that the carriage had stopped. She quickly opened her eyes and nimbly jumped off the carriage. Then, she stretched comfortably as the bones in her body made crisp cracking sounds.

“You didn’t sleep the entire journey, did you?” Alice looked at Adrian and suddenly asked.

Adrian shook his head and smiled. “I’m not sleepy, but I can see that you were sleeping soundly.”

Alice yawned. “It’s because I haven’t had a good sleep these past few days, I’m really too tired, so I can only take a short nap in the carriage.”

The other two team members also seemed to have sensed that the carriage had stopped. They woke up one after another.

Alice went straight to the point and said, “Guys, we’re going to enter the Spiritual Beast Forest tomorrow to capture spiritual beasts, so we have to set off immediately to purchase some necessary supplies.”

After the delicate young woman gave her first order, the team members had no choice but to move.

As the four of them walked down the street, Adrian looked around at the new things in his surroundings. He realized that quite a few people were actually treating spiritual beasts as mounts. This was absolutely impossible in the extremely safe St. Paul City.

This was because even if a Beast Tamer tamed a spiritual beast, there would still be a certain degree of danger. If the beasts were to go crazy, the small body of a human would not be able to withstand them.

Adrian looked at the huge spiritual beasts in front of him and was very shocked. How could he not like such a majestic and powerful appearance?

“I must find my own spiritual beast!” Adrian clenched his fists and silently made up his mind.

He wondered what the attribute of his first spiritual beast would be and what it would look like…
