Beast Taming Star Journey

"What is this..." Before I could finish speaking, the giant python shot out like an arrow, several times faster than before.

I was startled and quickly urged the spirit fox to dodge. The giant python's attack carried a powerful gust of wind; even just brushing past it caused me a sharp pain. What was even more terrifying was that the python's scales seemed to be coated with a strange energy; when the spirit fox's claws struck them, they only produced sparks, failing to cause any real damage.

"Its scales have been strengthened!" Su Yao's voice rang in my ears, tinged with seriousness. "Be careful, this energy seems to be corrosive!"

As soon as Su Yao finished speaking, the giant python's tail swept down fiercely.

I hurriedly pulled Su Yao to dodge, but I was still a step too slow. Su Yao's arm was grazed by the giant python's tail, and her sleeve was instantly corroded into a large hole, revealing her fair skin, with a bloody mark clearly visible.

"Su Yao!" My heart tightened, and I quickly checked Su Yao's injuries.

Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep; it was just being eroded by that energy, causing a dull ache.

"I'm fine," Su Yao said through gritted teeth, "but the giant python's attack was indeed troublesome."

I was anxious. If this continued, we would be worn down sooner or later. We had to find a way to exploit the giant python's weakness.

The giant python's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Su Yao and I could only dodge, with no chance to retaliate. Although my spirit fox was agile, it was also unable to break through the python's defenses.

"Damn it!" I cursed inwardly. Was there really no way out?

Just then, I suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation emanating from the giant python. This fluctuation... seemed somewhat familiar.

I carefully sensed this fluctuation, and suddenly a thought struck me. This fluctuation was very similar to the energy fluctuation emanating from the Beast Tamer!

Could it be...? I looked at the Beast Tamer and saw that he was completely focused on controlling the giant python, chanting incantations and constantly changing complex hand seals.

A surge of black energy erupted from his body, continuously flowing into the giant python's. Sure enough! The python's power originated from the Beast Tamer!

I was overjoyed. If I could sever the connection between the Gadolinite Beastmaster and the giant python, I might be able to turn the tide of the battle! But how could I do that?

As I dodged the giant python's attacks, I racked my brains for a solution. Suddenly, I sensed a violent fluctuation in the spirit fox's emotions. It seemed... to be trying to tell me something?

"A spirit fox?" A thought struck me. Had it discovered something?

I focused my mind and established a deeper connection with the spirit fox, trying to perceive what it wanted to express.

"Master..." A faint voice echoed in my mind...

"Master... his power is connected to the giant python's vital point..." The spirit fox's voice was intermittent, yet it clearly reached my mind.

Seven inches! My heart skipped a beat. The seven inches of a snake's body is its fatal weakness. Although this giant python has been strengthened, its fundamental weakness should not have changed!

"Well done, Spirit Fox!" I was overjoyed and quickly told Su Yao about my discovery.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Su Yao's beautiful eyes: "Seven inches... I understand!"

The way she looked at me was full of trust and love, and her gaze seemed to contain endless power, filling me with fighting spirit.

"Cover me!" I shouted in a low voice, frantically pouring my spiritual power into the spirit fox's body.

The fox let out a clear cry, its movements instantly becoming more agile, and its speed reaching its peak.

It darted around the python, constantly harassing it and trying to attract its attention.

Enraged by the spirit fox, the giant python thrashed its massive body wildly, but it could not catch a glimpse of the spirit fox.

"Now's the time!" I seized the opportunity, flashed forward, and rushed towards the giant python's vital spot.

The giant python's seven-inch mark was now shimmering with a faint black light; that was where the power of the Beastmaster was connected.

I took a deep breath, concentrated all my spiritual power into my right fist, and threw a punch! "Boom!" With a loud bang, my fist slammed into the giant python's vital spot.

The black light instantly dissipated, and the giant python let out a shrill roar, its massive body trembling violently. Gadgetzan's expression changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

I forcibly severed his connection with the giant python, which resulted in a huge backlash.

“You…” Gadgetzan pointed at me, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

I stared at him coldly, without saying a word. Seeing this, Su Yao flashed and appeared beside me.

She held a long sword, its tip pointed directly at the Beastmaster, her eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

"Now, it's our turn." Su Yao's voice was as cold as ice, sending chills down everyone's spine.

Su Yao and I exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly.

Su Yao's figure flashed, turning into a blur as she rushed towards the Beast Tamer... Su Yao's speed was astonishing, like a silver lightning bolt, and she instantly closed in on the Beast Tamer.

The longsword in her hand unleashed a series of sharp sword energies, aiming straight for the vital points of the beast tamer.

Although the Beast Tamer was powerful, he was temporarily suppressed by Su Yao's offensive and could only barely parry. I took a deep breath and circulated my spiritual energy to its maximum.

The fox spirit was beside me, its bright eyes fixed on the battle, ready to cooperate with my actions at any time.

"Now!" Su Yao's voice suddenly rang out, and her attack rhythm changed abruptly, becoming even more ferocious, forcing the Beast Tamer to retreat repeatedly.

I seized the opportunity, flashed around, and circled behind the Beast Tamer. The spirit fox transformed into a white light and merged into my body, instantly boosting my power and speed to their maximum.

"Thunderbolt Fist!" I shouted, concentrating all my power into my right fist and unleashing a punch.

The golden fist strike, like a bolt of lightning, slammed into the back of the Beastmaster.

Gadolin Beastmaster groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

He whirled around, his eyes filled with shock and anger: "You..."

Su Yao and I gave him no chance to catch his breath and launched another fierce attack together.

Although the Beastmaster was powerful, he gradually showed signs of defeat under our combined attack. Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

The giant python, which was originally controlled by the Beast Tamer, suddenly let out a shrill roar, and its massive body trembled violently.

Its black light flickered erratically, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"What's going on?" Ga's beast tamer's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in terror.

The giant python suddenly turned its head, its scarlet eyes fixed on the beast tamer, and let out a low roar.

The black light on its body suddenly surged, transforming into streaks of black lightning that struck towards the Beast Tamer.

"Ah!" Gadgetzan let out a scream as he was struck by black lightning. He was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.

After attacking the Beastmaster, the black light on the giant python gradually dissipated, and its massive body slowly collapsed with a dull thud.

Su Yao and I exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. We hadn't expected that the beast tamer's beast would suddenly go out of control and turn against its master.

"It seems that this dark power is not so easy to control," Su Yao said softly.

I nodded, but a vague unease lingered in my heart. The Beastmaster had been defeated, but this was only the beginning. Deep within this dark castle, even more powerful enemies awaited us.

Su Yao walked to my side and took my hand. Her hand was a little cold, but it gave me great strength.

“Let’s go,” Su Yao looked at me with a determined gaze. “We still have a long way to go.”

I held Su Yao's hand tightly, and together we walked deeper into the castle.

At the end of the corridor, a heavy iron door was tightly closed, engraved with eerie runes and exuding a chilling aura.

Su Yao reached out and slowly pushed open the door... In the darkness, something seemed to be stirring restlessly.
