Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 671: Chapter 236 Ten Thousand Sword Forest (3 days left in the month, seeking monthly passes)

The windborne sand, like a divine hand in painting, carved countless patterns over the vast desert, drawing ridges that mimicked the crescent moon, while the windward slopes were gentle and sun-facing, and the leeward sides were especially steep, casting densely packed shadows in corners untouched by sunlight.

In the shadow of a leeward dune, a black light flickered slightly, followed abruptly by the appearance of three figures.

“We’ve arrived!”

After taking a careful look around, Lu Ziye, with an eager smile on his face, gazed toward an ancient city shining with silvery brilliance under the light not far away.

Next to him, Lin Su and Yan Susen wore equally expectant expressions.

They had left Holy Light City, and it had been three days.

The actions of Lin Su and his companions in Holy Light City had, unsurprisingly, spread throughout the entire western elite battleground.

Over the past two days, they had passed through two Silver Cities along their predetermined route, causing the forces guarding the cities, who recognized the trio, to tremble with fear, careful not to offend them and invite disaster.

These forces had even offered up the Secret Realm Cores from within the cities right away, allowing Lin Su and his friends to use them as a gesture of goodwill.

This smooth progress was something Lin Su was not yet used to.

Unfortunately, those two Secret Realm Cores did not match their needs and were of no help to the trio, so Lin Su did not waste any time there.

After each stop, once the night of the blood moon had passed, they would set out the next day toward their next destination.

Now, they had finally arrived at the last ancient city on their route to the ice-element domain.

After this place, their next stop would be the ice-element domain.

However, Lin Su and his companions did not plan to simply stay overnight in this city as they had in the previous two.

Because within this Silver City, known as Sharp Sword City, there was a metal-element Secret Realm Core named Ten Thousand Sword Forest.

This Secret Realm Core was quite useful to them and worth visiting.

“Meow! (｡òωó｡)” (“We’re almost at the ice-element domain!”)

Qiuqiu, as usual, lay on Lin Su’s head, its eyes gleaming with anticipation.

The ice-element domain had been on its mind for nearly a month now.

In recent days, each time they reached a new ancient city, getting one step closer to the ice-element domain, the little creature’s anticipation intensified a little more.

“Qiuqiu, don’t be anxious, let’s first visit Ten Thousand Sword Forest,” Lin Su said softly as he stretched out a hand to rub Qiuqiu’s head, soothing its slightly restless mood, “It might be helpful for Youyou.”

“Meow! (ฅ´ω`)ฅ” (“Then let’s wait a bit longer!”)

Thinking of the opportunity that could help their youngest member in this Silver City, Qiuqiu suddenly felt less hurried.

Currently, the weakest member of their team was their youngest, who was still at the elite rank and hadn’t even reached the leader rank, so he needed to enhance his strength more than Qiuqiu did.

Qiuqiu’s tail swayed slightly, then gently coiled around the barrel of Youyou’s gun from behind Lin Su’s head.

Feeling Qiuqiu’s closeness and goodwill, Youyou’s body trembled lightly.

“Buzz~” (“Happy~”)

Feeling Youyou’s closeness and obedience, a look of contentment spread across Qiuqiu’s face.

This was its junior sibling Number Two, and it hoped that after Youyou gained full consciousness, it would address him as ‘big brother’.

Junior sibling Number One thought every day about overthrowing him, so it was time to cultivate junior sibling Number Two.

Thinking this, Qiuqiu turned its head to look at the junior sibling Number One standing next to Lin Su, its nose adorably crinkled.

Just wait!

Once it emerged from the ice-element domain, it would definitely need to reassert its dominance over Gui Gui!

Every time Lin Su needed to go all out, it involved Guardian Beast Co-operation with Gui Gui, and deep down, Qiuqiu harbored a relentless spirit of rivalry.

The time for it to turn the tables wasn’t far off!

Seeing that Qiuqiu had quickly calmed down with his soothing, Lin Su smiled and turned to the others, “Let’s enter the city and see if Ten Thousand Sword Forest can help my third beast advance to the leader rank.”

It had been a month since Youyou had advanced to the elite rank.

In that long stretch of time, Youyou had frequently joined Lin Su in action, fully adapting to and controlling its power, and its basic energy level had also reached a peak after absorbing various low-rank resources during this period.

Everything was ready, and it was time to break through to the leader rank.

As an elite rank, Youyou’s energy level wasn’t particularly high, and for Lin Su, who had reached the master Beast Tamer level, the additional support it brought was almost negligible.

But once Youyou advanced to the leader rank, the extra support it could provide during joint battles would become significant.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.” Lu Ziye chuckled, “I’m really curious to see what it looks like when your third beast advances from the elite rank to the leader rank.”

Interestingly, although Lu Ziye had been traveling with Lin Su and Yan Susen for a while, he had only learned of Youyou’s circumstances a couple of days ago.

Lu Ziye had sensed something unusual about Youyou before, but hadn’t thought much of it.

It was only after a chance discovery two days ago that he realized how unique Youyou’s existence was, and he was so shocked upon learning the truth from Lin Su that he was momentarily speechless.

Normally, spiritual soldiers required reforging and other special methods to improve their grade and spiritual intelligence, but the creature in Lin Su’s possession, a weapon class beast, could evolve and break through by simply absorbing resources like other beasts and could contract with a Beast Tamer like a pet beast.
