Beast Taming Star Journey

Upon breaking through the energy barrier, a nauseating, sweet-smelling stench mixed with an evil aura assaulted my senses, almost suffocating me. Something seemed to whisper in the air, like countless tiny insects crawling across my skin, sending shivers down my spine. The core area of ​​the base was shrouded in darkness, with only a few flickering red lights casting eerie glows that made everything around me appear shadowy and ghostly.

"Where exactly is this place?"

A beast tamer's voice trembled, and fear spread among the crowd. I took a deep breath, suppressing my unease.

"Everyone be careful, it's dangerous here."

I whispered, releasing my summoned beasts—the Spirit Monkey, the Howling Wolf, and the Giant Rock Turtle. They are my companions and my greatest reliance.

"Spirit Monkey, Howling Wolf, go and search the surrounding area and see if you find anything."

I instructed, "Giant Rock Turtle, protect everyone."

The agile monkey and the howling wolf quickly disappeared into the darkness, their keen senses able to detect any abnormality.

The giant rock tortoise stood before them like a small mountain, its defenses incredibly strong, capable of withstanding most attacks. The mayor, pale-faced, gripped my arm tightly.

"Nong Yu, what...what exactly happened here?"

I patted him on the shoulder to offer him some comfort.

"Mr. Mayor, don't worry, we will find out the truth."

Before long, the monkey returned, pointing in a direction and making urgent calls. I understood what it meant; it had found its target.

"follow me!"

I gave a shout and led everyone in the direction the monkey had indicated. After passing through a dark corridor, we arrived at a huge metal door.

The door was engraved with intricate runes and exuded an unsettling aura.

"This is it."

I thought to myself. I sent the giant rock turtle forward, and it used its immense strength to smash open the metal door. With a loud "boom," the metal door was sent flying, revealing the scene behind it.

A man dressed in a long black robe stood with his back to us in the center of the room. His shadow was stretched long by the dim light, making him look particularly sinister.

"You finally came."

The man slowly turned around, revealing a pale and cold face. His eyes gleamed with an eerie light that sent chills down one's spine.

I recognized him at a glance; he was Researcher Zhao from the Beast Taming Research Base!

However, his aura was completely different from before, and the powerful pressure made it almost impossible for me to breathe.

"Researcher Zhao, why...why did you do this?"

The mayor asked, trembling. Researcher Zhao, or rather, the mastermind behind it all, let out a chilling laugh.

"Why? Haha... In this world, the strong prey on the weak, and only the strong survive! I simply want to create a new order, an order that I will rule!"

I walked towards him without fear, my eyes resolute.

"You're wrong. Power isn't for controlling and destroying, but for protecting and creating!"

The mastermind behind it all looked at me with mockery, as if I were an overconfident ant.

"You? A mere high-level beast tamer, you dare to challenge me?"

He raised his hand, and a powerful energy wave emanated from his body. "Today, I'll show you what true power is!"

He suddenly waved his hand... and a giant hound engulfed in black flames appeared out of thin air. It had scarlet eyes, sharp fangs, and a chilling growl.

A powerful sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire room, making it difficult to even breathe.

"This is my tamed beast, the hellhound! Boy, prepare to die!"

The mastermind behind the scenes laughed maniacally, and the hellhound let out a deafening roar as it pounced on me.

"Giant Rock Turtle, defend!"

I shouted, and the giant rock tortoise immediately stood in front of me, its thick shell forming a solid barrier.

The hellhound's claws slammed against the tortoise shell, producing a screeching sound and sending sparks flying.

"Howling Wolf, attack from the side!"

I commanded the Howling Wolf, which moved like a gray lightning bolt, circling around to the side of the Hellhound. Its sharp claws tore through the air, aiming for the Hellhound's neck.

"You clever monkey, distract it!"

The nimble monkey leaped nimbly, constantly harassing the hellhound and drawing its attention. The beast tamers also summoned their own beasts and joined the battle.

In an instant, all sorts of tamed beasts filled the room, their roars, collisions, and energy explosions intertwining to create a deafening roar.

I felt a powerful force strike my back, and I staggered a few steps, almost falling over.

Looking back, I saw Su Yao, who was closely following me, brandishing her long sword and deflecting all the dangers that approached me.

I will always be by your side.

She called out to me, her eyes firm yet gentle. A warm feeling welled up inside me, and I clenched my fists, facing the enemy before me with even greater resolve.

I know that this battle is not just for myself, but also for this city and for all those who have been harmed by the mastermind behind it all.

The hellhound's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and cracks began to appear in the giant rock turtle's defenses.

The beast tamers' beasts gradually became outmatched, and some had already fallen to the ground, losing their ability to fight.

"You bunch of trash think you can stop me?"

The mastermind behind it all laughed wildly, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt. I gritted my teeth; I knew I couldn't let things continue like this.

I must find the mastermind's weakness, or we'll all die here. I focused my mind, sensing the energy fluctuations around me, trying to find a flaw in the mastermind's defenses.

Suddenly, I sensed an unusual energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation was hidden within the hellhound's body and was extremely weak. If I hadn't been careful, I wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

This energy fluctuation... could it be? A thought suddenly flashed through my mind. I looked up at the mastermind behind the scenes, whose face had a subtle, smug smile on it.

"It seems you have discovered it."

He spoke slowly, a hint of mockery in his voice, "However, it's too late..." He suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed to the sky, and muttered something.

The sky suddenly darkened, with thick clouds gathering, and streaks of black lightning ripped across the horizon.

A much stronger energy fluctuation emanated from the mastermind, several times stronger than before, even making me feel suffocated.

"Feel the despair!"

The mastermind behind it all laughed maniacally, "This is my true power!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed with a scarlet light... "Come forth, my ultimate weapon..."
