The Western Forest was alive with movement giant ferns swayed unnaturally, shadows flickered, and distant howls echoed like the world itself was warning intruders.
Li Ze adjusted his backpack and looked down at Emberfang, who padded beside him, tail flicking in anticipation.

Li Ze raised an eyebrow. Level 3 That's a step up from you, Emberfang. Ready
Before Emberfang could respond, a massive boar with jagged thorn like protrusions charged from the underbrush. Its hooves smashed into the ground, sending tremors through the forest floor. Li Ze barely had time to react.

Li Ze tapped both. Emberfang growled, flames flickering across his fur, and leapt at the boar. The beast clashed with Emberfang thorns slicing, claws striking. Numbers floated midair as if in a game:
Emberfang Attack: 120 to 150
Thornback Boar HP: 300 to 180
Li Ze clenched his fists Alright, time for the taming function He pressed the Tame button.
A golden binding aura shot out, wrapping the boar. It thrashed violently, but the aura pulsed stronger with Li Ze's intent.

The boar froze mid-charge, then slowly knelt, lowering its thorned head to Li Ze.

Li Ze laughed, adrenaline pumping Two beasts down, one more to go. This forest isn't ready for me yet.
But from above, something massive stirred. A shadow darker than the canopy itself slithered through the treetops, eyes glowing gold. Even the air seemed to grow heavy with its presence.

Li Ze's grin didn't falter. Heh this is going to be fun.
