253 “Suicide” Beast?
He felt that this so-called beast could not be simply described as a “mutant ability”.
If these skeletons also came from beasts, it meant that this was already a system completely independent of abilities.
After all, it could already control the bones of the dead. It was no longer something that could be explained by abilities.
Lin Ye watched as Zha Gu came out of the White Bone Dojo and was about to speak when he heard Zha Gu say in his hoarse voice,
“Great Lord Lin, I sense the aura of the undead in the distance.”
“This is indeed related to me, but I hope you can listen to me explain what happened?”
“Yes, tell me ~”
Seeing Lin Ye nod, Zha Gu said,
“Previously, three humans were brought over by my clerk. After weighing the pros and cons, I think they can be used by me.”
“I instructed them to help me collect the wandering souls in the city.
“In the end, they chose to betray us!”
Hearing Zha Gu’s words, Li Yao, who was standing behind it, immediately widened his eyes.
“Leader, didn’t you say…”
Before Li Yao could finish, Zha Gu turned to look at him.
“Why? Do I have to report to you what I do?”
“This… I don’t dare!”
After being glared at by Zha Gu, Li Yao immediately felt aggrieved.
Looking at Zha Gu under the cloak, Lin Ye’s face was still expressionless.
He no longer believed this skeleton’s words.
It had only been two days since he settled down, but this guy was already unable to hold back and wanted to cause trouble.
If it went on for too long, wouldn’t it cause even more trouble?
Hidden under the cloak, Zha Gu looked at Lin Ye’s expressionless face and suddenly had an ominous feeling.
“Senior Lin, I…”
“I’ll give you two choices—”
Lin Ye waved his hand and interrupted Zha Gu forcefully.
“Follow Li Yao well and don’t play any tricks. I’ll save the White Bone Dojo for you.”
“Or… I can only choose to send you back to your ‘home’.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s threatening words, the soul fire in Zha Gu’s eye sockets jumped crazily.

It showed that at this moment, it was quite anxious.
Lin Ye, who had been watching Zha Gu, slowly shook his head.
“Alright, I already know the outcome.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Zha Gu suddenly waved the staff in his hand at Lin Ye—
It chose to strike first!
The moment Zha Gu attacked, Lin Ye was still waiting quietly for the attack to arrive as if nothing had happened.
In the end, when Tang Tian, the man, and Li Yao were all worried for Lin Ye, Zha Gu’s staff was not used at all. Instead, its body hidden under the cloak seemed to have suddenly died, and the skeletons directly scattered on the ground.
Clang ~
Looking at this sudden change, Li Yao was shocked.
“This… Hall Master Lin, is… is it dead?”
Lin Ye looked at the pile of bones and shook his head with a smile.
“Take out its Beast Taming Card and take a look.”
When Li Yao heard this, he immediately took out Zha Gu’s card from the Beast Taming Index.
Looking at the card that had turned gray but did not have any cracks, Lin Ye reached out and took it.
“Although I don’t know how you hid it, don’t worry. As long as you’re in Jiangzhou City, I’ll definitely find you.
Seeing Lin Ye speak as if he was talking to himself, Li Yao and the others were a little confused.
However, they did not dare to ask.
At the same time, after “talking tough” to Zha Gu’s Beast Taming Card, he asked about Zha Gu in his mind.
“Why can’t I sense it all of a sudden? Moreover, the state on the Beast Taming Card is different from usual.”
After Lin Ye finished asking, the long-awaited system voice sounded in his mind.
[Some beasts can use their abilities to temporarily escape the restraints from the depths of their souls.]
[Skeleton leaders are similar to undead with undying abilities. They can choose to “suicide” to reduce the host’s sense of its soul location.]
Lin Ye did not expect this to happen.
In other words, if there were beasts that could revive from the dead that were determined to moisten it, Lin Ye really could not do anything to them.
“Then can we reestablish contact?”
[Sure, but it will take some time.]
...
Hearing this, Lin Ye heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as he could sense Zha Gu’s location, he could directly kill it.
However, now, he could only let it run for a while.

However, Lin Ye could not figure it out.
Wasn’t it good to stay here obediently?
Could it be that this guy had already given up on attacking the Land of the Undead?
“Dojo Master Lin…”
Hearing Li Yao call him, Lin Ye looked over.
“It’s nothing. Let’s put Zha Gu’s matter aside for now.”
“I’ll keep this card first.”
“As for your beast, in any case, Zha Gu is already level three. You can choose to draw another one or try it in the Beast Taming World yourself.”
...
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Li Yao nodded.
Then, he looked at Monian, whose eye sockets were still flickering with soul flames.
“Then… my teacher…”
Lin Ye shrugged.
“I can only apologize for that.”
“Za Gu can use its body to return at any time. At that time, its remaining soul power will still be devoured.
“So…”
Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Li Yao opened his mouth and really wanted to say something.
However, he realized that he could not say it no matter what.
Seeing Li Yao’s complicated expression, Lin Ye looked at the White Bone Dojo beside him and suggested,
“You can also go to the White Bone Dojo to try your luck.”
“Let’s see if you can get the corresponding White Bone Beast.”
Hearing Lin Ye’s suggestion, Li Yao’s eyes, which had just lost a little light, immediately lit up.
“That’s right!”
“Thank you, Hall Master Lin!”
“Then… then can I go now?”
Lin Ye shook his head.
“Not now. I have to go out immediately.”
“This guy has caused a lot of trouble.”
“Stay here and watch them. If there’s anything unusual, don’t hold back.”
“If you can’t win, go to the dojo and call the Fire Phoenix.”

Li Yao nodded.
After instructing Li Yao, Lin Ye left the dojo with Tang Tian and the others.
After coming out of the academy, Lin Ye and the others hailed a taxi and rushed straight to the location of the old district that Yang Wei had mentioned earlier.
On the way, Tang Tian looked at the street scene that was completely different from the Central Province. Before he could sigh with emotion, he heard the man ask,
“Dojo Master Lin, was that skeleton just now… also a beast?”
“Yeah.”
“Then… I wonder what Hall Master Lin thinks of including beasts as abilities?”
Hearing the man say this, Lin Ye turned to look at him and smiled.
“Why? Has the inspection ended?”
The man nodded.
“Or rather, there shouldn’t be a need to investigate.”
“I represent the Mutant Federation of Zhongzhou City…”
Before the man could finish, Lin Ye smiled and waved his hand.
“There’s no hurry.”
“I don’t think it’s that important.”
After all, this matter was pushed by City Lord Su Hong back then.
Lin Ye only felt that it could be used as an endorsement method to let more people know about beasts.
Since he had already achieved his goal, there was no need for him to join any Mutant Federation.
Beast taming itself was an independent system.
Back then, he had not grown up and was not so famous. He would definitely be willing to agree.
Now…
Sure, but there was no need ~
The man did not expect Lin Ye to directly refuse.
This was a little unexpected.
Before the man could say anything, the chauffeur suddenly stepped on the brakes.
“Squeak ~”
“In front, in front…”
Hearing the chauffeur’s stuttering and trembling words, Lin Ye looked up ahead.
A few skeletons were holding weapons like knives or swords and attacking the pedestrians and shops by the roadside indiscriminately.
“Then stop here!”
With that said, Lin Ye directly pushed open the car door and let Blackie and the others out.
