209: Chapter 128, The Aftermath_1 209: Chapter 128, The Aftermath_1 Suddenly, Belsden’s eyes lit up and with an abrupt push from his four legs, he sprang forward.

Hudson, who was caught off guard, nearly got thrown off if not for the bear fur he clenched just in time.

If the cart had flipped at such a speed, he would have been severely injured if not dead.

If he got injured by his own mount, the uninformed would think he tried to impose a forced contract with a magical beast and suffered the consequences.

There was no time for him to bicker with Belsden.

The strong air friction forced Hudson to be careful.

Thankfully, he was a magician and promptly encased himself in a magic shield.

The too-high charging speed greatly exceeded the speed of falling locusts.

If Hudson were a little slower in his reaction, contact with the locusts would be inevitable.

It wasn’t the same for their bear with his thick skin and meat.

The tiny creatures didn’t affect him at all.

But the idea of his own face getting into close contact with a locust was too much for Hudson to imagine.

The distance of several miles was covered in the blink of an eye; the bear’s speed was practically flying.

In truth, saying it was flying was rather apt.

Apart from the initial four-legged leap, Belsden’s short legs barely touched the ground at all.

They even ran down several large, leafless trees.

The branches almost broke through Hudson’s magic shield.

Belsden was indeed a professional at ditching his owner.

He didn’t act out on purpose, just by his own instinct, he added further danger to his owner’s situation.

Perhaps this was why everyone on the Continent of Aslante owning a magic beast mount was a strongman.

Those of inferior abilities could hardly withstand their own magic beast’s nature to muck things up.

Before Hudson could adjust to the speeding “bear”, Belsden suddenly veered to the left.

The sudden turn gave Hudson a scare; he almost vomited on the spot.

Hudson never suffered from motion sickness before being teleported, but who would have thought his mount would move too fast causing him to go “bear”-sick, which angered Hudson to no end.

If it weren’t for the giant locust he could barely make out with his vision at the far end, he was fleeing in a rush, he…

would have…

Forget it!

This wasn’t the time or place, there was no asserting his dominance on top of a bear.

As expected, after the high-speed “bear” race and the sudden turn, what greeted Hudson was a sudden brake.

The enormous inertial force caused Hudson to cling tightly to the bear fur, pressing his body onto the bear’s back.

Before he could understand what happened, Belsden had the unconscious Insect King clutched in his paw, flaunting his achievement to Hudson.

Only one slap was needed and the arrogant Insect King immediately hit the ground.

At this moment, Hudson suddenly realised why there had never been a locust disaster in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Even an underage Earth Bear, could easily handle the Insect King.

There were countless higher-order magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, who could easily kill all the Insect Kings and Insect Emperors.

If a locust army ever covered a magical beast habitat, they’d basically be providing extra meals.

The poisonous locust army would only endanger ordinary people.

Given the constitution of magical beasts, they would hardly feel the poison at all.

“Belsden, what the hell were you doing?

Why didn’t you warn me?

Do you have any idea how dangerous it was just now, we were so close to…”

Before Hudson could finish, the young bear imitated his usual tone and retorted, “Chill out!

If such a small thing sets you off, what great things can you achieve?

You can’t even handle a small setback and yet you’re complaining here, you’re a disgrace to us bears.

Talking about danger?

You’ve got a thick face.

From beginning to end, you’ve only been a bystander.

While others are teaming up with their magic beasts to fight, you ride behind me, taking credit for my achievements, I even have to shield you – you’re simply hopeless.

If it wasn’t for my need to look after you, I would’ve finished this long ago.

Forget it, it’s my bad luck to be paired with a battle partner like you.

As long as…”

Thrust upon by a lecture from a bear, Hudson fell silent, questioning his life choices.

This fool was always sleeping; how had he absorbed all these tactics?

Reason told him he must avoid dealing with this guy when it came to official duties in the future.

Otherwise, if he breeds a bear who understands politics, who knows what will happen in the future.

“Enough, Belsden!

You did it on purpose!

The Earth Bear Tribe has always been known for being simple and honest.

How could a ruffian bear like you appear?”

Hudson spoke irritably.

The thing that happened just now, if it was on purpose, made little sense.

If he really wanted to put Hudson in trouble, a single magic shield wouldn’t suffice.

But looking at Belsden’s proud face, Hudson was filled with rage.

Seeing him, the master, become a laughing stock was just…

Forget it, it wasn’t worth fussing over a bear that much.

Most importantly, he couldn’t get picky as after chucking the Insect King to Hudson, Belsden had again set his eyes on a new target.

As a Bearman Knight, Hudson’s heart was shattered.

The speed of a fully-powered Earth Bear was too high, akin to riding a supersonic motorbike gone mad – it was a stomach-churning, vomit-inducing wild ride.

Fortunately, this time the young bear learned his lesson and, before taking action, gave Hudson the magic of Earth Guardian.

Fortunately, it had stabilized things.

Hudson no longer needs to worry about being thrown off or vomiting due to the extreme “bear” speed, at last, he was able to enjoy the thrill of the “bear ride”.

Moving within a swarm of billions of locusts as if he was in an empty place, the sense of thrill was pure exhilaration.

The whirring speed, once Hudson got used to it, was truly an ecstasy.
