Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Chapter 286: Slaughter Atlas Upgrade


After a conversation, Chu Chen learned that the array in that room is the Star Gathering Array.

This type of array condenses Star Power more efficiently than the usual Star Gathering Array.

After a short while, everyone gradually arrived one after another.

When Liu Hong saw everyone was present, he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, quiet down. I'm going to teach you the first lesson of the training camp."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stopped talking and focused their attention on Liu Hong.

Liu Hong continued, "The first lesson I will teach you is about survival."

Everyone looked curious upon hearing this.

Liu Hong, without keeping them guessing, went on, "Survival can take many forms. I am going to teach you how to survive in combat. As Beast Masters, combat is commonplace for you, and as your strength increases, you will face more dangers. Without survival tactics, the only thing awaiting you is death."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked expectant, fully understanding the significance.

When they first contracted their Guardian Beasts, they could only command battles from treetops or from a distance, fearing being targeted by Star Beasts.

Now, when commanding battles, they either hide or fight while riding their Guardian Beasts. This is highly risky and can affect the battle involving their Guardian Beast.

Liu Hong saw the understanding in everyone's eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and continued, "Survival in battle can generally be divided into three parts. The first is before the battle, which includes many aspects, such as detecting the Star Beasts' positions and numbers, and avoiding being detected by the Star Beasts prematurely.

He paused to give everyone a moment to think about this.

A few breaths later, Liu Hong continued, "The second part is during the battle. Beast Masters need to command the battle and cast Soul Skills for their Guardian Beasts. Hence, we must stay in the center of the battlefield, which is extremely dangerous. In such situations, we must remain calm and constantly monitor our surroundings. Achieving this is incredibly difficult, so we not only need a strong physique but survival tactics as well."

Upon hearing this, the audience fell into deep thought. What he said was insightful and based on experience.

"The third part is after the battle. Do not underestimate this part. Many Guardians Beasts perish because they are caught off guard by Star Beasts looking for food after the fight. Next, I will explain everything in detail and teach you survival tactics for these three parts."

It must be said that Liu Hong's teaching skills were impressive; just a few words had fully engaged everyone.

The first lesson lasted a full three hours, leaving Liu Hong quite parched.

Lunch was provided by the staff here; although the meal was lavish, everyone found it tasteless.

It wasn't because the food was unpleasant, but because they were absorbed in the sea of knowledge.

Liu Hong's lesson seemed to have opened a whole new door for them.

The two most critical points of survival before battle are exploration and concealment.

Exploration can be divided into two types; the first is using the Guardian Beast for reconnaissance. This method has pros and cons. The advantage is it's safe; the Beast Master merely needs to wait.

The downside is the Guardian Beast might expose its presence, alerting the Star Beasts. Moreover, Guardian Beasts differ from Beast Masters; the information they gather is not detailed and only provides a general idea.

The second method is for the Beast Master to investigate personally; this is a skill Chu Chen is quite adept at. Beast Masters determine the Star Beasts' species, strength, and numbers by analyzing the traces and habits left by the Star Beasts.

This method requires a lot from the Beast Master and is hard to master without long-term practice, and it has its pros and cons.

The advantage is that Star Beasts find it difficult to detect the presence of the Beast Master.

The disadvantage is that it is challenging for the Beast Master to deduce accurate information because too many unpredictable factors exist in the wild.

To know oneself and the enemy, both methods must be combined to obtain more accurate information.

In the upcoming time, they need to help their Guardian Beasts and themselves address these two disadvantages.

Regarding concealment, it also includes many knowledge points, but the most important one is how to avoid being detected prematurely by Star Beasts.

The senses of Star Beasts are extremely sharp, and each Star Beast's senses differ. Some have excellent vision, like eagle-type Star Beasts, while others boast strong olfactory senses, like canine and bear-type Star Beasts.

Avoiding early detection by them is no easy feat.

Take Chu Chen's Deodorizing Powder, for example; it indeed masks his scent, but it can't conceal his aura or shape. If he encounters Star Beasts with powerful perception and keen eyesight, he will similarly be detected early.

To address such situations, Liu Hong proposed two solutions.

The first is using Soul Skills, such as the Turtle Breath, which can be used to hide one's aura.

Another example is the Mimicry Soul Skill, allowing a Beast Master to blend into the surroundings, achieving concealment.

However, using Soul Skills for concealment is a severe test of Soul Power, proving disadvantageous in the upcoming battles.

The second solution is using tools, like a Camouflage Combat Uniform, which can conceal one's shape to some degree, or special items like Deodorizing Powder.
