Beast Taming Patrol

The three warriors from the martial academy and seven other martial arts experts weren’t very familiar with each other. At this moment, they volunteered to head to the southern city wall to help the Great Hong Empire repel the rule-bound creatures.

Standing on the western city wall, as the sky grew increasingly dark, everyone’s expression became somewhat somber.

They didn’t wait too long, as nightfall descended.

With the disappearance of the last sliver of light in the sky, a crimson blood moon rose, casting its blood-red light across the land.

What had been a peaceful battlefield for the young talents now seemed to carry a faint scent of blood.

Wisps of blood-colored mist drifted, obscuring everyone’s vision and blurring the horizon.

...

“They are coming!” Yan Hongyu yelled out, “Everyone, be alert!”

At the edge of the horizon, countless dark spots quietly emerged from the blood-red mist, rapidly approaching.

As they got closer, the dark spots enlarged and became more distinct.

It was only when they had fully appeared outside the ancient city that everyone could clearly see what was coming.

They were ferocious, enormous beasts, with the smallest being ten meters and the larger ones measuring tens of meters.

These giant beasts, each of different forms, did not attack each other but instead set their equally crimson eyes towards the direction of the ancient city, quickly locking onto the people on the city walls.

“Are those the illusion beasts?” Lin Su took a deep breath.

These illusion beasts resembled the otherworldly beasts in appearance.

However, they were fundamentally different.

Illusion beasts were products of rule condensation, and when defeated, they would shatter, dissipate, and turn into nothingness, leaving no corpses behind.

Atop the bodies of the illusion beasts, humanoid creatures stood, faceless with only a pair of crimson eyes, their bodies covered in complex runes, looking incredibly eerie.

These humanoid creatures, similar in shape to humans compared to the huge size of the illusion beasts, appeared quite small.

However, the aura they emitted was almost the same as that of the illusion beasts.

These were Yuan puppets, and just like the illusion beasts, they would shatter and dissipate when defeated.

After both shattered, they would respectively leave behind Illusion Dream Stones and Mixed Element Stones.

Lin Su’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Outside the ancient city, the number of rule-bound creatures had already reached thousands and was still increasing.

In this pitch-black night, only pairs of crimson pupils looked towards the ancient city.

This scene, both oppressive and visually striking, made him feel as if he was back on the frontier battlefields.

“Seems like they’re all within the third level,” Yan Susen suddenly sighed in relief not far from Lin Su, “They should be easy to handle.”

“Don’t let your guard down,” Lin Su cautioned immediately, then began to carefully observe the rule-bound creatures gathering in increasing numbers outside the city. ŖᴀΝÓВΕ§

Both illusion beasts and Yuan puppets were classified into twelve strength levels corresponding to the twelve levels of the Nayuan Realm.

Rule-bound creatures equivalent to the first level of the Nayuan Realm had an additional golden stripe on their bodies.

And with each level higher, another stripe would be added.

The locations of these golden stripes were very conspicuous, making it easy to make judgments.

At the moment, most of the rule-bound creatures had only one stripe; those with two stripes accounted for only about one-tenth, and the presence of three stripes was even rarer.

Perhaps it was because the young talents had just entered the battlefield, or it might be because this was just a remote bronze city, the rule-bound creatures gathered here to attack were not very strong.

This was good news.

With such a level of opponents, he wouldn’t even need Guardian Beast Co-operation; Qiuqiu and Gui alone could easily resolve the battle.

After all, needing to battle throughout a night meant that both strength and endurance were equally important.

Just as Lin Su was considering how to act with minimal expenditure of energy, Yan Susen had already made his move.

A silvery-white figure burst forth, smashing a violent punch onto one of the single-stripe illusion beasts.

The illusion beast shattered quickly, dissipating into smoke.

At the same time, in the previously occupied position of this beast, an Illusion Dream Stone floated in the air, taken by the silvery-white warrior.

Immediately after, the silvery-white warrior employed Instant Step again, appearing before a two-stripe illusion beast and dealing with it in the same manner.

Facing a silvery-white warrior whose strength could match the sixth level of the Nayuan Realm, there was little difference between one stripe and two stripes; all were defeated with a single strike.

As this two-stripe illusion beast dissipated, two Illusion Dream Stones appeared in the air.

After collecting the Illusion Dream Stones, the silvery-white warrior struck again, fiercely punching a three-stripe illusion beast, one of the few in the area.

Four Illusion Dream Stones floated in the air, grabbed by the silvery-white warrior.

Having done all this, the silvery-white warrior quickly returned, reappearing behind Yan Susen.

“Lin, I have tested it clearly, each additional stripe doubles the number of stones!” Yan Susen chuckled.

Lin Su: “…”

What a hardcore way to test things.

The commotion caused by Yan Susen made the rule beasts in the area grow more restless, emitting fierce roars toward the direction of the ancient city.

However, they still hadn’t begun their attack.

Because more rule beasts were continuing to emerge from behind, converging toward them.

Though they lacked thinking capability, certain rules controlled the actions of the rule beasts.

“Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)” (I want to act now!)

Seeing the silvery-white warrior so easily obtain the Illusion Dream Stones, Qiuqiu grew eager.

This was a great item!

With more Illusion Dream Stones, it could upgrade a skill to Level IV!

Qiuqiu counted with its little paws.

Just ten thousand Illusion Dream Stones would be enough!

With this realization, its gaze toward the illusion beasts below shifted, as if viewing wandering Illusion Dream Stones.

“Hehe! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (I want, I want too!)

Gui, not to be outdone, raised its paw as well.

“Both of you act together.” Lin Su, watching the increasing number of rule beasts below, nodded slightly, “Qiuqiu, use Snow Explosion to clear the area, and Gui, stay hidden in the shadows to provide support and collect the stones at the same time.”

“Hehe! (≧‿≦)” (Understood!)

“Meow! ฅ(≧ω≦)ฅ” (Blow them all to the sky!)

With Lin Su’s direction, the two pets grew excited, glanced at each other, and swiftly entered the fray, charging at the rule beasts.

In no time, the booming noises filled the air.

Lin Su gently caressed Youyou’s spear, sitting cross-legged on the city wall.

It was unfortunate that Youyou had not reached the commanding stage yet, otherwise he and Youyou could have joined in killing the rule beasts.

But this was not bad either.

Seeing Lin Su take action, the others from the Great Yan also swiftly acted, slaughtering the rule beasts below.

One couldn’t really wait for them to gather before striking; now, while they hadn’t started besieging the city, was the best opportunity to strike.
