Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 405

"Oh no! It's about to unleash its ultimate skill!" Su Yao's exclamation rang in my ears, and my heart sank. The black energy ball condensing in the giant beast's mouth exuded a destructive aura that sent chills down my spine, as if I would be devoured in the next second.

"Iridium Beast Tamers, where are your warriors?" I shouted anxiously, now we can only pin our hopes on the strength of the Iridium clan.

The Beastmaster, Jin Yi, looked grave. He waved his banner, directing the remaining warriors to assemble. The Strategist, Jin Bo, also came to my side, his face filled with worry: "Brother Nong Yu, the situation is very bad. The power of this behemoth has exceeded our expectations."

I gritted my teeth; this wasn't the time for pessimism. I took a deep breath and quickly gave the order: "All beast tamers, change formation! Starlight Beast Taming Formation!"

My commands were transmitted to my beasts via a mental link, and they swiftly sprang into action, arranging themselves according to the formation I had pre-set. The Starlight Beast Taming Formation is a formation I created by combining my own unique beast taming abilities; it can gather the power of all the beasts together, unleashing several times its original strength.

As the tamed beasts adjusted their positions, a dazzling light erupted from the center of the formation, shooting straight into the sky. The light enveloped the entire battlefield, obscuring even the silhouette of the dark behemoth.

"Roar--"

The dark behemoth let out an angry roar, and the black energy ball in its mouth finally shot out, like a black lightning bolt, heading straight for us.

"Hold on!" I shouted, concentrating all my mental energy on the Starlight Beast Taming Array.

The black energy sphere collided with the Starlight Beast Taming Array, producing a deafening explosion. The entire earth trembled, as if it were about to crack open.

I stared intently at the center of the collision, praying that the Starlight Beast Taming Array could withstand this fatal blow. The dazzling light and terrifying dark energy intertwined, creating an apocalyptic scene.

Time seemed to stand still, and I could clearly hear my heartbeat.

Finally, the light gradually faded, revealing the Starlight Beast Taming Array and the silhouette of the dark behemoth.

I saw that although the Starlight Beast Taming Array's light had dimmed somewhat, it still stood firm. And the attack from the dark behemoth had also been successfully repelled.

"We... succeeded?" the golden boy murmured in disbelief.

I breathed a sigh of relief, the weight lifted from my heart. But this was only a temporary victory; the dark behemoth's power remained formidable, and we needed to continue the fight.

Suddenly, I felt a warm hand tightly grasp mine. I turned around and saw Su Yao.

She looked at me with unwavering eyes, her gaze filled with trust and encouragement. She didn't say anything, but simply held my hand tightly, conveying her strength and warmth to me.

I felt a warm current flow through my body, and my tired body seemed to be injected with new strength.

"Prepare for the next attack!" My voice rang out on the battlefield... Su Yao...

Su Yao's hand, slender yet strong, felt like an electric current, infusing me with warmth and courage. Her eyes, firm yet gentle, like the brightest star in the night sky, dispelled all my fear and unease. I grasped her hand in return, feeling her warmth, a powerful surge of strength welling up within me. I knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, as long as she was by my side, I could overcome everything.

"Starlight Beast Taming Array, second charge!" I shouted, my voice echoing across the battlefield. The tamed beasts let out deep roars, their bodies glowing once more, and the Starlight Beast Taming Array's light became even more dazzling.

However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred. Several of the beasts tamed by the Iridium Beastmaster suddenly let out painful roars, their bodies trembling violently, and their eyes flashing with an eerie red light. They began to attack everything around them frantically, including the Iridium Beastmaster's own warriors.

"What's going on? My beast has gone out of control!" the beast tamer shouted in panic, desperately trying to control his beast, but to no avail.

Chaos spread through the ranks of the Jinyi clan, as warriors dodged the out-of-control beasts, and their once orderly formation collapsed instantly.

"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath. This sudden turn of events had disrupted our plans. Now we not only had to face a powerful dark behemoth, but also deal with the internal chaos within the Iridium Clan, making the situation even more difficult.

"Brother Nongyu, this can't go on. We must get the situation under control as soon as possible!" Jinbo, the strategist, said anxiously. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

I took a deep breath, forcing myself to calm down. "Su Yao, you take some people to help the Jin Yi clan control the runaway beasts. I'll deal with the dark behemoth!"

"Be careful!" A hint of worry flashed in Su Yao's eyes, but she didn't say anything more. She turned around and led a group of warriors to charge towards the chaotic Jin Yi clan.

I focused my attention back on the dark behemoth. It seemed to have sensed the chaos on our side, letting out a deafening roar and once again coalescing into a black energy sphere.

My heart sank. I had to end this battle as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just then, the golden-haired boy suddenly ran to my side, a strange light gleaming in his eyes. "Brother Nong Yu, I have a way that might interfere with the giant beast's attack, but..." He hesitated for a moment, then didn't continue.

Upon hearing the young man's words, the strategist's expression changed drastically. "No, this is too dangerous! We absolutely cannot let the young man take this risk!"

“But…” The gold-plated youth wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the platinum-plated strategist.

"No buts! This is an order!" The strategist's tone left no room for argument.

I looked at the gleam in the eyes of the gold-plated boy, and a thought struck me. "Gold-plated boy, do you have a plan?"

The golden-haired youth took a deep breath, his eyes hardening. "My ability can..." He leaned close to my ear and whispered his plan. My expression turned grave after hearing it. "It is indeed very dangerous, but..." My gaze fell on the dark behemoth that was once again coalescing into an energy sphere, "Perhaps, this is our only chance." I looked at the platinum-haired strategist, "Mr. Platinum, please believe me..." The platinum-haired strategist took a deep breath, as if making a difficult decision. "Brother Nong Yu, the golden-haired youth's ability can indeed interfere with the behemoth, but the risk is extremely high. His ability needs to be released at extremely close range, almost touching the behemoth..." He paused, his face growing paler, "Moreover, this interference is only temporary, lasting at most a few breaths."

My heart sank. What could I do in a few breaths? Was it enough time for Su Yao to get back? I was afraid it wouldn't even be enough time to escape the giant beast's attack range.

"Is there no other way?" I looked at the strategist, my tone tinged with despair.

The strategist shook his head, his gaze falling on Su Yao, who was fighting the out-of-control beast in the distance, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "Unless... we can severely injure the giant beast within these few breaths, temporarily rendering it unable to fight."

Severely injuring the behemoth? Easier said than done! This behemoth's defense is astonishing; even the Starlight Beast Taming Array's attacks cannot inflict any real damage on it.

Just as I was lost in thought, the golden-haired boy suddenly spoke up, "Brother Nong Yu, I'm willing to give it a try." His tone was firm, and there was no fear in his eyes, but rather a light that seemed ready to die for him.

I was struck by his presence. Looking at this young yet brave boy, a feeling of admiration welled up within me.

“Golden boy…” I opened my mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

“Brother Nong Yu, for the sake of the Jin Yi clan, for the sake of this world, I am willing to give everything!” The Jin Jin youth interrupted me, his tone unwavering.

The strategist, Jinbo, clenched his fists tightly, his lips trembling, but finally nodded. "Good child... my Jinyi clan owes you a tremendous favor!"

I took a deep breath, suppressing my unease, and began to think about how to make the most of these precious few breaths. "Mr. Jinbo, how long will it take the Jin boy to get close to the behemoth?"

"At his speed, and with the giant beast currently restrained by the Starlight Beast Taming Array, it will probably take him about 15 minutes," Jinbo strategist replied.

Half an hour later... I turned to the Mercury Envoy, "Mercury Envoy, immediately issue the order: all Beast Tamers, attack with all your might! Make sure to draw the giant beast's attention to the center of the Starlight Beast Taming Array within half an hour!"

"Yes!" The mercury envoy accepted the order and left.

I looked at the gold-plated boy again, "Remember, once you've completed your interference, retreat immediately! Thallium Warrior, you're responsible for covering the gold-plated boy's retreat!"

"Understood!" the thallium warrior replied in a deep voice.

I gripped the sword tightly, feeling the cold touch of its blade, and silently prayed.

Half an hour felt exceptionally long in the tense atmosphere. I stared intently at the dark behemoth, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from it, my heart felt like it was being crushed by a boulder, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Finally, the golden-haired youth moved. He moved like lightning, weaving through the chaotic battlefield, rushing towards the dark behemoth. My heart leaped into my throat with each step he took.

He was getting closer and closer, so close that I could clearly see the resolute expression on his face.

Suddenly, the dark behemoth seemed to sense something, its massive head abruptly turning towards the golden-haired youth, and the surrounding dark energy began to surge wildly...

"Golden Boy!" I couldn't help but shout.
