Fear of High-Level Beasts

Bai Youyun came forward, and after a round of scolding, the security guard let Li Yi into the museum.

Li Yi carried Garfield into the beautifully-decorated museum.

Although it was a museum, it looked very modern.

It did not have that stale atmosphere you would normally expect from a museum.

Butler Liu took the lead and went to the front desk.

"We are here to register this gentleman as a VIP," Butler Liu said.

Hearing that, the front desk lady looked at Li Yi and nodded slightly. "No problem."

After a short while, the lady had completed Li Yi's registration, making Li Yi a VIP of the Shangguan family museum.

"Greetings, Mr. Li. Your VIP status has been completed. You can now enter our museum freely."

Li Yi nodded slightly and then looked at Butler Liu. "Let's go in and take a look. We're already here."

"No problem. Let's all look around together."

Butler Liu took the lead and walked forward. He turned around and asked, "Mr. Li, which area would you like to visit first?"

Li Yi Thought for a moment, then said, "I want to see the monster pet section. The monster pets they can house here must have extraordinary strength."

"Then I'll take the lead. Let's go and see. However, I need to remind you that the Shangguan family has a considerable collection of high-level Beasts. Each of them is ferocious and frightening. Moreover, the strong pressure they give off is very intimidating."

"I remember that you don't seem to have contracted any Beasts, right?" Lin Ya looked at Li Yi and asked.

Li Yi nodded, "That's right, I haven't."

Lin Ya continued to explain, "Without your own monster pet, you'll be just like an ordinary person without much strength. If you go in there, you have to be careful. Don't scare yourself to death."

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll take note."

Although it was risky for Li Yi to be close to these high-level Beasts, he still wanted to go in and take a look. As a Beast veterinarian, it would be a pity if he never got to see a high-level Beast.

The four of them walked into the monster pet exhibition area.

Pushing open the door, which was seven to eight meters tall, the four of them walked into the large, luxuriously-decorated exhibition hall.

In this spacious and quiet space, the four of them were the only ones there.

On both sides of the room, there were two rows of transparent glass walls.

The monster pets resided behind these glass walls.

After Li Yi walked in, he went straight to one of the glass walls.

Behind each glass wall was a spacious room. The layout of each room was suited to the residing Beast's characteristics.

For example, a river flowed through the middle of the Blacktail Crocodile's room. Around it, tons of weeds were growing. This was a typical swamp-like environment.

Or, take the Golden Python's room. It had countless tangled branches to climb.

The four of them walked along the length of the glass walls. Seeing all these strange creatures filled them with curiosity.

"Wow, the Shangguan family sure has collected a lot of new Beasts since the last time I came here," Bai Youyun sighed.

The Shangguan family was involved in the monster pet trade, so it was normal for their pets to change hands frequently.

Li Yi stared at the Beasts inside the glass wall. He had never seen any of these kinds before.

At most, he may have seen pictures in textbooks, but he never had a chance to meet them in person.

"I'm glad we came here. It was worth it to see all these rare Beasts."

Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, Butler Liu froze and turned back to look at Li Yi.

"Up ahead is the high-level monster pet section. Are you sure you want to go there?"

Li Yi said matter-of-factly, "Well, I'm already here aren't I? Of course I want to. Otherwise, this whole trip will have been for nothing!"

Butler Liu reminded him, "Then you'd better prepare yourself. Those powerful Beasts are extremely intimidating..."

After giving his instructions, Butler Liu went forward once again. Li Yi and the others also continued to follow.

Soon, they arrived in front of the room of the first high-level pet beast. Through the glass, they could see a tiger covered from head to toe in red fur.

An identification plaque was hanging on the wall. On it was written all kinds of information related to the tiger.

"Redwing Tiger, 70 years of cultivation, fire-type Beast."

Li Yi read silently, then looked at the Redwing Tiger on the other side of the glass.

He saw that it had a pair of small wings on its back.

A tiger with wings…its strength had to be out of this world.

At this moment, the Redwing Tiger slowly opened its eyes. As soon as it saw a few humans standing in front of its territory, it let out a low, angry roar.

"Roar!!"

The Redwing Tiger's voice sounded like a car engine. The very next moment, it charged towards Li Yi and the others.

With a thud, it smacked into the glass wall.

The four of them heaved a sigh of relief. If this big tiger had burst out of the room, they would be goners.

Next, they looked at the Redwing Tiger and realized that something was wrong.

After the tiger crashed into the glass wall, it quickly retreated into a corner, where it began to tremble all over.

The four of them were puzzled when they saw this. The Redwing Tiger was extremely angry just a moment ago, but now it was actually cowardly?

"What's going on? What's it so scared of?"

Butler Liu was very puzzled. It was so big that Li Yi or any other one of them would not even fill in the space between two of its teeth.

Bai Youyun also revealed a puzzled expression when she saw this.

"Is it afraid of me?"

Lin Ya sneered and rubbed her head, "Why would the tiger be afraid of a dainty little girl like you?"

"Then who is it afraid of? Is it you?"

Lin Ya shrugged and said nothing.

Butler Liu did not care too much and continued to move forward.

The next room was home of a Dark Golden Python. Its dark, golden scales gleamed metallic under the dim light.

The four of them looked through the glass wall. Though they looked for a long time, they still couldn't find the python's exact location.

Li Yi pointed to a corner and said, "Look, the Dark Golden Python is lying over there."

The three of them looked over and found that the Dark Golden Python was, sure enough, curled up in the corner, as if it was afraid of something.

"So boring. All of them are hiding in the corner," Bai Youyun pouted. Her face was full of dissatisfaction.

The four of them continued through a few more rooms. In the end, they found that all the high-level pet beasts–which used to be awe-inspiring–were now hiding away in the corners or behind rocks.

They were almost speechless. Why were these high-level pet beasts acting so timidly today? They were not intimidating in the slightest!

At that time, Li Yi seemed to have realized, whatever the Beasts were afraid of, it was not them.

The four of them had average combat strength and were not worth the fear of these high-level monster pets.

There was one thing that Li Yi noticed. Although these pet beasts were hiding in the corner, all of their eyes had been trained on Garfield.

Garfield, who had been perched on Li Yi's shoulder, had been scanning the Beasts of each room with wide eyes.

Even if it were a Beast ten times its size, it wouldn't faze him in the slightest, let alone cause him to feel anything akin to fear.

All these ferocious monster pets had been looking up at Garfield with an extremely subservient gaze.

The fear in their eyes was so deep, it must have been etched into their very souls.
