Beast Taming Star Journey

Su Yao moved with lightning speed, her sword flashing, heading straight for the strategist.

The strategist smiled sinisterly and calmly took a few steps back. Several thugs immediately blocked his way, using their bodies to take the brunt of Su Yao's attack.

I cursed him under my breath for being despicable, and was about to step forward to help Su Yao when I felt a gust of wind coming from behind me.

I turned around abruptly, barely dodging a heavy punch.

The one who ambushed me was a burly thug. He grinned maliciously and swung his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, at me again.

I quickly summoned my tamed beast—an agile shadow leopard—to block the attack.

"Your opponent is me!" The Calcium Strategist's chilling voice rang in my ears.

My heart sank; I knew I was being targeted by this treacherous fellow.

Although he lacks the ability to control beasts, his movements are unpredictable and his moves are cunning. Moreover, he seems to know my fighting style inside and out and can always predict my next move.

While directing the Shadow Leopard to engage the thugs, I also carefully guarded against the Calcium Strategist's sneak attacks, which put me on the defensive for a time.

In the distance, the armored rhinoceros of the Scandium Beastmaster let out a deafening roar, its body shimmering with an earthy yellow light, and the ground began to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, thick earth spikes burst from the ground, tossing the thugs high into the air.

This is the Iron Rhinoceros's ultimate skill—Earthquake!

However, there were simply too many thugs, surging forward like a tidal wave, and even the mighty armored rhinoceros gradually felt overwhelmed.

Its body was covered in wounds, and its breathing became rapid.

The situation of the scandium tamer was also not optimistic. His face was pale, and there was a deep wound on his arm that exposed the bone, from which blood was constantly flowing.

I was extremely anxious and wanted to rush over to help them, but I was held back by the Calcium Strategist.

This guy is like a venomous snake, cold and cunning, always launching an attack the moment I make a mistake.

I was so entangled with him that I could only watch helplessly as the Scandium Beastmaster and his armored rhinoceros engaged in a fierce battle.

"Give up, Nong Yu," the strategist said with a sinister smile, "You're not getting away today!"

He suddenly pulled a black sphere from his pocket and crushed it forcefully.

A pungent cloud of smoke instantly filled the air, and I felt dizzy and everything in front of me became blurry.

Oh no, it's sleeping gas!

I had a bad feeling and quickly held my breath, then commanded the Shadow Leopard to protect my body.

However, the effects of the sleeping gas seemed to be stronger than I had imagined. My consciousness gradually became blurred, and my body began to sway uncontrollably.

Just when I was about to give up, I suddenly felt a slight tremor beneath my feet... The Calcium Strategist grinned maliciously as he approached, saying, "It's over..."

The smoke grew thicker and thicker, and my consciousness became increasingly blurred.

The Calcium Strategist's狰狞 smile flickered before my eyes, like a demon from hell.

I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, as if I were about to fall into an endless abyss.

Just then, the tremors beneath my feet grew stronger and stronger.

A bold idea suddenly came to my mind.

I suppressed the dizziness and used my last bit of strength to issue commands to the Shadow Leopard and the Scandium Beastmaster's Armored Rhinoceros through the contract.

"Shadow Leopard, burrow underground! Armored Rhinoceros, earth split!" Upon receiving the command, the Shadow Leopard immediately transformed into a black shadow and burrowed underground.

The armored rhinoceros also let out a low growl and slammed its massive horn into the ground.

In an instant, huge cracks appeared in the ground, spreading outwards like a spider web.

Caught off guard, the thugs all fell into the crevice in the ground.

Screams rose and fell, and the once dense encirclement was instantly torn apart.

The pressure on the Scandium Beastmaster lessened considerably. He gave me a grateful look, then commanded the Armored Rhinoceros to continue widening the crack, devouring more of the thugs.

In the distance, Su Yao anxiously watched the battle unfold.

When she saw me surrounded by the smoke and then saw me suddenly collapse, her heart jumped into her throat.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with worry and prayer.

She so wished she could rush to my side immediately and rescue me from danger.

As the thugs fell into the crevice one by one, the sleeping gas gradually dissipated.

I took a deep breath and felt my mind clear up considerably.

I struggled to my feet and discovered that the situation on the battlefield had reversed.

Just then, my gaze fell on a huge rock not far away.

The boulder looked ordinary, but it emitted a barely perceptible energy fluctuation.

A thought struck me, and I quickly walked over.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered a small crack at the bottom of the boulder, which appears to be the entrance to a hidden chamber!

I was overjoyed; this secret room might contain crucial evidence that could prove my innocence!

However, my actions seem to have been noticed by the Calcium Strategist.

His expression changed, and he shouted sharply, "Stop him! Don't let him get near that rock!"

He suddenly charged at me, waving his hand continuously, sending black energy balls hurtling towards me like meteors.

My tamed beasts stepped forward and blocked the attacks.

Without hesitation, I rushed towards the entrance to the secret room, and a look of madness appeared on the Calcium Strategist's face...

"Don't even think about it!" he roared, a gleaming dagger suddenly appearing in his hand...
