Beast Taming Star Journey

The blinding sunlight struck me hard, and I instinctively shielded my eyes with my hand. Once my vision cleared, I could see everything before me. The valley was tranquil, the grass lush and green, a stark contrast to the dark, damp passage I had passed through. And in the center of the valley stood the ancient temple, like a giant magnet, drawing my complete attention. Golden light enveloped it, solemn and sacred, as if it held endless secrets.

“That is the area protected by the divine artifact…” The bismuth beast tamer repeated it again with a hint of awe in his tone.

My gaze fell upon the man standing at the temple entrance. He wore a silver robe, held a golden staff, and stood motionless like a statue. His face was expressionless, his eyes calm as still water, yet seemingly capable of piercing through everything. A powerful aura emanated from him, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. The Tin Messenger…

“His strength is unfathomable…” the lead-faced boy said in a low voice, his tone filled with worry.

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. I knew that to obtain the artifact, I had to get past him first.

“The Bismuth Beastmaster, do you know his weakness?” I asked in a low voice.

The Bismuth Beastmaster pondered for a moment and said, "According to ancient records, the Tin Envoy's weakness may lie in his left-side defense. His dominant hand is his right hand, so his right-side defense is relatively stronger."

This was crucial intelligence! A plan immediately formed in my mind. I turned to my tamed beast and whispered the command. It let out a low growl and charged towards the Tin Messenger.

"You're courting death!" The Tin Envoy sneered, waving his golden staff, and a beam of golden light shot towards my beast.

My beast skillfully dodged the attacks and continued its onslaught towards the Tin Messenger's right flank. The Tin Messenger wielded his long staff, deflecting attack after attack. Just as the Bismuth Beastmaster had said, his right-side defense was impenetrable.

Just as the Tin Messenger focused all his attention on the right side of my beast, I let out a low shout: "Now!" My beast suddenly turned and launched an attack on the Tin Messenger's left side with lightning speed.

The tin messenger was clearly caught off guard by this turn of events and was struck by my beast. He groaned and swayed slightly.

"A great opportunity!" I thought with delight, and once again commanded my beasts to launch a fierce attack.

Although the tin messenger quickly regained his footing, he had already lost the initiative. My beast, in coordination with my tactics, relentlessly attacked his left flank, keeping him constantly on the defensive.

The battle continued, and I felt Su Yao closely following beside me. I glanced at her; her hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were full of trust in me… I…

Su Yao suddenly grabbed my sleeve, "Watch out!"

I felt Su Yao close beside me, her beautiful hair swaying in the wind, her eyes filled with trust in me. This trust flowed into my heart like a warm current, dispelling the tension and pressure of the battle. Looking at her resolute expression, a surge of tenderness welled up within me, and I couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair. She tilted her head slightly, revealing a shy smile, a smile as warm as the spring sunshine, illuminating my entire world.

"Watch out!" Su Yao suddenly grabbed my sleeve, her voice urgent.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a powerful sense of oppression came from the side. I turned my head sharply and saw the Mercury Beastmaster charging towards me with a sinister grin, his gleaming blade aimed straight at my heart.

"A lowly commoner dares to covet a divine artifact? Dream on!" He laughed arrogantly, his voice filled with disdain.

Damn it! I cursed under my breath, forced to abandon my attack on the Tin Messenger and turn my attention to the Mercury Beastmaster's attack. This guy's strength was indeed not to be underestimated; every move he made was filled with a sharp killing intent, forcing me to retreat repeatedly.

"Thallium Beastmaster, go and distract that kid!" Mercury Beastmaster shouted into the distance while attacking me.

I glanced over and, sure enough, saw the thallium beast tamer commanding his beasts to attack the lead boy and the bismuth beast tamer. Although the two of them fought back fiercely, they were clearly at a disadvantage.

Damn it! I was anxious; the situation was extremely unfavorable for me. Although the Tin Envoy was being held back by my beast tamer, his strength was still unfathomable, and he could launch a counterattack at any moment. Meanwhile, the Mercury Beast Tamer was pressing closer and closer, leaving me no time to support the Lead Boy and the others.

While dodging the Mercury Beastmaster's attacks, I desperately searched for an opportunity to counterattack. His offensive was as fierce as a storm, leaving me almost breathless. I could feel my strength rapidly depleting; if this continued, I would eventually give up.

No, I have to find a way to break this deadlock! My gaze fell on the Tin Messenger, and a bold idea surfaced in my mind. I took a deep breath and decided to take the plunge.

I pretended to be no match for the Mercury Beastmaster's attack, deliberately creating an opening. The Mercury Beastmaster fell for it as expected; a smug glint flashed in his eyes, and the blade in his hand, imbued with an even more ferocious killing intent, thrust towards me.

At that critical moment, I suddenly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding his attack. At the same time, I poured all the spiritual power in my body into my beast, commanding it to launch another fierce attack on the Tin Messenger.

Caught off guard by my beast's sudden attack, the Tin Messenger let out a muffled groan and staggered a few steps. Seizing the opportunity, I again commanded my beast to attack the Tin Messenger's weak left side.

"You're courting death!" The Mercury Beastmaster was enraged that I dared to ignore him. He attacked me again, this time with even greater ferocity.

While fending off the attacks of the Mercury Beastmaster, I kept an eye on the Tin Messenger's condition. His breathing was beginning to become erratic, so it seemed my tactics were working.

"You bastard..." The Mercury Beastmaster's attacks were fierce. I didn't know how many more tricks he had up his sleeve, so I could only proceed with caution. His eyes... were like those of a venomous snake...
