Beast Taming Star Journey

My sword was drawn, its cold gleam reflecting on my resolute face. "Yao'er, Brother Peng, prepare for battle!" The wind howled, and a tense atmosphere filled the air. In the distance, dust billowed, banners blotted out the sun, and the lithium army surged in like a black tide.

Their attack was more massive and numerous than the last one, and the faint roars of various beasts echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"They came with great force; they probably have something to rely on." The Beastmaster frowned, gripping his spear, his eyes sharp as he warily watched the area ahead.

"When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it!" I took a deep breath, suppressing my unease. We'll soon find out what tricks the lithium forces are up to.

As the enemy drew closer, I finally made out their formation.

Unlike last time, this time they did not rush to attack, but advanced slowly and orderly, with a tight formation and a balance between offense and defense.

At the forefront were rows of shield bearers, their shields gleaming with metallic light; behind them were archers and catapults, ready to launch ranged attacks at any moment.

In the center of their procession, some enormous beasts could be vaguely seen, emanating a chilling aura.

"Watch out! Their formation is strange!" Su Yao's voice rang in my ears. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her sharp gaze swept across the enemy formation, as if she had noticed something unusual.

I also felt a sense of unease. The lithium industry's cautious approach must indicate they have something in mind. But what exactly are they planning?

There was no time for me to think too much; the vanguard of the lithium forces had already entered attack range.

"Beast Tamers, attack!" I commanded. Several streaks of light flashed, and my beast tamers appeared on the battlefield. The wind howled, lightning crackled, and the earth trembled.

My tamed beasts displayed their unique abilities, roaring as they charged towards the enemy lines.

A fiery red flaming bird swooped down from the sky, spewing forth raging flames; a golden-armored rhinoceros charged wildly, unstoppable; a nimble shadow leopard weaved through the enemy ranks, leaving behind afterimages... I closed my eyes, concentrated my mind, and felt the spiritual connection between myself and my beasts.

My cheat code, the Equal Contract, allows me to share power with them and command them to fight together.

"Flaming Bird, attack their archers! Armored Rhinoceros, cover Shadow Leopard's attack on their flank!" My commands were instantly transmitted to my beasts via telepathy.

They understand each other perfectly, cooperate seamlessly, and operate like a unified whole.

The Flaming Bird's flames sent enemy archers flying, while the Armored Rhinoceros stood like an iron wall, blocking the enemy's rain of arrows and stones, creating an opportunity for the Shadow Leopard's surprise attack.

Shadow Leopard seized the opportunity, swiftly charging into the enemy ranks and tearing apart their defenses. The lithium forces' vanguard was caught off guard, and their formation was thrown into chaos.

They clearly did not expect my beasts to be so powerful, nor did they expect me to be able to command them so skillfully in coordinated combat.

"What's going on? How come their beast tamers are so powerful?" A gasp rang out from the lithium faction. A slight smile played on my lips, and a hint of confidence flashed in my eyes.

"This is just the beginning!" I activated my beast-taming power again, preparing to expand my gains.

However, at that moment, I noticed that the lithium leader's face showed no panic whatsoever, but rather a strange smile... He slowly raised his right hand... Upon seeing this, the lithium leader's lips curled into a cold smile, and his slowly raised right hand suddenly fell!

"Elite Beast Taming Team, attack!" At his command, a team of beast tamers dressed in black outfits charged out from behind the army.

Each of them possessed an imposing aura, and the beasts they rode were even more ferocious, radiating a suffocating pressure. The appearance of these elite beast tamers immediately turned the tide of the battle.

Although my beasts fought back with all their might, they gradually began to falter in the face of opponents whose strength far surpassed their own.

The armored rhinoceros had several deep, bone-revealing wounds, the flaming bird's wing was torn apart by a huge falcon, and the shadow leopard was surrounded and attacked by several swift cheetahs, facing imminent danger.

My heart sank; I knew this couldn't go on. "I have to find a way to break their offensive!" I forced myself to calm down and carefully observed the enemy's formation.

These elite beast tamers were indeed powerful, but their formation was too tight, seemingly prioritizing maximum attack power over their own defense.

A daring idea popped into my head. "I'll risk it!" I took a deep breath and issued new commands to my beasts via telepathy.

"Flaming Bird, draw their attention! Armored Rhinoceros, cover Shadow Leopard! Shadow Leopard, target—their center!" The Flaming Bird let out a sharp cry, dragging its injured wing, and swooped down toward the enemy's elite beast tamers.

It spewed out raging flames, attracting the attention of most of its enemies.

The armored rhinoceros bravely stood in front of the shadow leopard, using its hard shell to withstand the enemy's attacks.

Seizing the opportunity, the Shadow Leopard moved swiftly through the enemy ranks like a black lightning bolt. It skillfully evaded enemy attacks, heading straight for their central area.

That was the core of the entire formation, and also its weakest point. "Boom!" With a loud bang, the Shadow Leopard's claws struck the center of the enemy formation.

The powerful impact instantly tore the enemy's formation apart, creating a huge gap in the previously tight formation.

"A great opportunity!" I thought to myself with delight, and immediately commanded the other beasts to give chase.

The Flaming Bird and the Armored Rhinoceros broke free from the enemy's encirclement and charged towards the gap in the enemy's formation.

The enemy's formation completely collapsed, and their elite beast tamers were thrown into disarray. Our beast tamers pressed their advantage, defeating them one by one.

"We won!" the Beastmaster shouted excitedly. I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

This battle was much more difficult than I had imagined, but it also made me realize more deeply the importance of coordinated combat with beast tamers.

"Are you alright?" A gentle voice rang in my ear. I turned my head and saw Su Yao standing beside me, her eyes full of concern.

She handed me a water bottle, her fingers gently tracing the back of my hand, a warm feeling welling up inside me. In her eyes, I saw undisguised adoration.

I took the water bottle, took a sip, and felt all my fatigue dissipate. "I'm fine," I smiled at her.

The lithium leader in the distance had a grim face. He never expected that his carefully selected elite beast-taming team would be defeated by me.

He clenched his fists tightly, a sinister glint in his eyes... He slowly pulled a black token from his pocket...
