Beast Taming Star Journey

The biting wind tore at my robes, and the Lin family's fierce attacks surged wave after wave, threatening to crumble the clan's defenses. I hoarsely commanded my people, but my heart grew heavier with each passing moment. This wasn't just because of the enemy's strength, but also because I realized our defenses were like a sieve, riddled with holes. I quickly scanned the defenses, trying to find the root cause of these weaknesses.

A gap in the terrain caught my attention. This area should have been a key defensive zone, but it was only manned by a small number of people and a few low-level beasts.

I immediately summoned the clansmen in charge of this area to inquire, but the answers I received were vague and evasive.

An uneasy feeling spread through my heart. I always felt that there was a pair of eyes hiding in the shadows, watching my every move.

He turned sharply, only to see the panicked faces of his clansmen and the ferocious figure of the Lin family's beast tamer in the distance. Who was it? Who was behind this?

"Chief, I think there's a problem with the defense deployment!"

I approached the clan chief, my voice urgent, "The defenses at some key locations are severely inadequate and must be adjusted immediately!"

The clan chief hesitated, glancing at the elder of the farming clan beside him. The latter immediately spoke sarcastically, "Nong Yu, are you questioning the clan chief's decision? The defensive deployment was decided after discussion among all of us. What do you, a mere brat, know?"

I suppressed my anger and explained, "Elder, I'm not questioning the clan leader's decision, but the situation is urgent and adjustments must be made based on the actual circumstances. Look, over there..."

Before I could finish speaking, the elder of the peasant clan interrupted me, shouting, "Enough! I think you just want to seize power under the pretext of adjusting defenses, but actually you want to take control of the clan's military power!"

His words exploded like thunder in the crowd, and the tribespeople began to murmur among themselves, their gazes towards me filled with suspicion and distrust.

A chill ran through me. This old guy was clearly trying to smear me and undermine my prestige!

"I don't!"

I gritted my teeth, trying hard to control my emotions. "I just want to protect my family!"

"Hmph, who knows what you're up to!"

The elder of the farming family snorted coldly, ignoring me, and turned to the clan chief, saying, "Clan chief, I think this kid has ulterior motives. We can't let him continue to command us!"

The clan chief looked at me, then at the elders of the farming clan, and finally chose to remain silent.

I know that within the clan, the elder of the farming family has a high reputation, and his words have a great influence on the clan head.

My situation is becoming increasingly difficult. I not only have to face the Lin family's aggressive attacks, but also deal with the suspicion and exclusion within my own family. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Now is not the time for internal strife. We must find the weak points in our defenses as soon as possible, or the family will be finished!

I closed my eyes and sensed the aura of the beasts around me. A strange feeling welled up in my heart. This was my unique beast-taming ability, which allowed me to perceive the power and location of the beasts around me.

Gradually, several faint energy fluctuations caught my attention... Their locations corresponded exactly to the defense vulnerabilities I had previously discovered!

I suddenly opened my eyes, and a bold plan took shape in my mind.

“Su Yao…”

I said in a low voice.

Su Yao appeared beside me like a ghost. She glanced at my serious expression and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

I told her about the few defensive weaknesses I had discovered and briefly explained my plan.

Su Yao didn't ask any further questions, simply nodding, a glint of excitement flashing in her eyes. She loved fighting, and even more so, she loved these challenging missions.

"give it to me."

Su Yao smiled slightly, her figure flashed, and she disappeared into the night. I took a deep breath, turned around, and walked towards my beast companion—a snow wolf with a pure white coat.

It lay quietly on the ground, its massive body radiating a reassuring aura.

“Little White,” I gently stroked its fur, “we need your help.”

The snow wolf raised its head and looked at me with its icy blue eyes, as if it understood what I was saying.

I explained my plan to it in detail and pointed out several locations where defenses needed to be strengthened. The snow wolf growled, indicating that it understood.

It was agile and swift, moving swiftly through the night, silently deploying the few defensive beasts I had carefully selected to those key positions.

I continued to patrol along the defensive line, directing the clansmen to strengthen their vigilance and be ready to deal with any attacks from the Lin family.

Time ticked by, and my unease grew stronger. The Lin family's delay in launching an attack was highly unusual. They must be plotting something.

Just then, the clan chief came over with the elders of the farming family.

The clan chief's face was grim, and his tone was extremely stern: "Nong Yu, what exactly are you up to? Why have you arbitrarily mobilized your beasts and altered our defensive deployment?"

My heart sank, knowing that the elders of the farming family must have spoken ill of me to the clan chief again.

I suppressed my anger and explained, "Chief, I have discovered several serious flaws in our defenses. If we do not fix them in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Nonsense!"

The elder of the farming family shouted sternly, "The defense deployment was decided after we all discussed it. What right do you have to change it without my permission?"

“Elder, now is not the time to argue about these things,” I said, trying to control my emotions. “The Lin family could launch an attack at any time, and we must be fully prepared.”

"Prepare? I think you're sabotaging our defenses!" The peasant elder pointed at me, furious. "You're colluding with the enemy!"

"enough!"

I couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Everything I've done is to protect the family, yet you're here making baseless accusations and twisting the truth!"

The clan chief looked at me, then at the elder of the farming family, and ultimately chose to believe the latter.

He said in a deep voice, "Nong Yu, I order you to immediately cease your actions and restore the original defensive deployment."

My heart sank completely. At this critical moment, the clan chief actually listened to the slander of the village elders and prevented me from strengthening the clan's defenses. This was tantamount to courting death!

“Chief, you…”

I was about to say something more when Su Yao interrupted me. She had appeared beside me at some point, and her face looked extremely grim.

"Nong Yu, no need to waste words with them. Let's go!"

I gave the clan chief and the elders of the farming family a long look, then turned and followed Su Yao away. I knew that the rift between me and them was irreparable.

Just then, a deafening roar of a beast echoed from afar. My heart sank; I knew the Lin family's attack had finally begun.

I looked up into the distance and saw several enormous beasts charging towards our defenses. They were incredibly fast and menacing, like several moving mountains.

I observed the actions of these beasts, and I felt something was off about them... Their target didn't seem to be our defenses... but rather...

"Su Yao, watch out!"

I shouted suddenly.
