Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 407

The roar of the dark behemoth was deafening, as if it were tearing the heavens and earth apart. The powerful sound waves made my blood surge, my vision went black, and I almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Su Yao reacted quickly and caught me.

"Nong Yu, are you alright?" she asked with concern, her voice trembling slightly.

I shook my head, suppressing the surging blood within me, and looked up at the dark behemoth. In its gaping maw, a black energy was gathering, like a bomb about to explode.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!" I shouted, pulling Su Yao and rolling on the ground to barely avoid the impact of the black energy.

boom!

The black energy blasted the ground, creating a huge crater, and the surrounding trees were instantly leveled.

The dark behemoth's attacks became even more frenzied and chaotic. It wildly swung its enormous claws, each strike carrying earth-shattering power. Su Yao and I could only desperately run for our lives, barely managing to dodge its attacks.

"This can't go on, we have to find a way to stop it!" I thought anxiously as I dodged the attacks of the dark behemoth.

The Beastmaster with the metal and iridium complexion observed the battle with a grave expression. The strategist with the metal and platinum complexion beside him whispered, "It seems our plan has failed. This dark behemoth is even more powerful than we imagined."

The golden-haired boy clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with worry: "Brother Nong Yu, Sister Su Yao, you must hold on!"

The mercury envoy was sweating profusely as he continuously relayed messages to his other allies, trying to find a new breakthrough.

"No, we'll all die here if this continues!" I gritted my teeth, a strong will to survive welling up inside me.

Suddenly, I remembered my special beast-taming ability. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and focused all my mental energy.

The scene of me signing the contract with the beasts flashed through my mind. I felt their power merging with mine, and my body was filled with powerful energy.

I suddenly opened my eyes, which flashed with golden light. I stretched out my hands, feeling the surging power within me.

"Come on, let me see where your limits are!" I shouted at my tamed beasts.

Fire Qilin, Ice Phoenix, Thunder Eagle... all my tamed beasts sensed my summons, letting out earth-shaking roars, their bodies shining even brighter.

My power merged with that of the beasts, and their strength instantly rose to a new level.

The fire qilin's flames burned even hotter, the ice phoenix's ice spikes became even sharper, and the thunder eagle's lightning bolts grew even more swift...

I felt an unprecedentedly powerful force, as if I had transformed into a war god, fearless.

"Come on, dark behemoth, let's fight to the death!" I roared and charged towards the dark behemoth...

Su Yao watched my retreating figure, her eyes filled with surprise and...

Su Yao cheered excitedly, tears welling in her eyes, proud of my strength. "Nong Yu! You're amazing!" she shouted, her voice trembling slightly. I smiled at her, a warm feeling welling up inside me. I knew that everything I had done was to protect her, to protect our shared home.

The fire qilin spewed scorching flames, forcing back the dark beast's claws; the ice phoenix flapped its wings, and countless ice spikes poured down like a torrential rain, enveloping the dark beast in a blanket of ice and snow; the thunder eagle circled in the air, waiting for its chance to strike, and bolts of lightning slashed at the dark beast like sharp swords.

My tamed beasts are of one mind with me; their every movement is perfectly synchronized with mine. We are as one, firmly suppressing the dark behemoth.

However, just when we thought victory was in sight, an unexpected event occurred.

"There's a weakness in the flank defense formation! Repeat, there's a weakness in the flank defense formation!" The Mercury Messenger's voice was filled with anxiety and panic.

My heart sank, and I quickly looked to the flank. There was a gap in the previously tight defensive formation, and several small dark creatures were pouring in through the gap, rushing towards the support personnel behind them.

"What's going on?" I asked sternly.

"Report! The Mercury Messenger made a mistake in transmitting combat orders, and some allies failed to cooperate in time!" A soldier rushed over to report.

Damn!

I cursed under my breath and quickly ordered some of my beasts to go and provide support. However, the dark behemoth's attacks were becoming increasingly fierce, and my beasts were already exhausted and unable to spare any resources to support the flanks.

"Nong Yu, what should we do?" Su Yao's face also showed worry.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. Now is not the time to panic; I must find a way to turn the situation around.

My gaze fell upon the thallium warrior. He was burly and powerful, one of the strongest warriors among our allies.

"Thallium warriors!" I shouted.

"Here!" the thallium warrior responded immediately.

"Lead a portion of the force to attack the behemoth from the side and distract it!" I decisively issued the order.

"Yes!" The thallium warrior accepted the order without hesitation and went off to carry it out.

I know this is a risky move. The thallium warrior is powerful, but he's only one person, and the Dark Beast's strength far exceeds our imagination. If he fails, we'll be in even greater danger.

However, I had no other choice.

I have to take a gamble!

The thallium warriors led several elite soldiers, charging towards the side of the dark behemoth. Their figures appeared exceptionally small in the darkness, as if they might be swallowed up by the behemoth at any moment.

“They…” Su Yao’s voice trembled slightly.

I held her hand tightly without saying a word.

My eyes were fixed on the battlefield, and I prayed silently in my heart: We must succeed!

Suddenly, the dark behemoth let out a deafening roar, and its body trembled violently...

"Not good!" The beast tamer's expression changed drastically, and he pointed behind the dark behemoth, saying, "Look!"

The dark behemoth let out a deafening roar, its body trembling violently. My heart tightened; had the thallium warrior failed? But the next second, I saw the massive body of the dark behemoth stagger a few steps, one claw clutching its side, dark green blood gushing from between its fingers. It was a success! The thallium warrior had succeeded! He had actually managed to leave a wound on the dark behemoth!

Overjoyed, I immediately seized the opportunity and commanded the Fire Qilin, Ice Phoenix, and Thunder Eagle to launch a simultaneous attack. The Fire Qilin spewed out a massive pillar of fire, engulfing the dark beast in a sea of ​​flames; the Ice Phoenix's ice spikes rained down like a storm, freezing the flames into ice and forming an indestructible wall of ice; while the Thunder Eagle circled in the air, its bolts of lightning striking the dark beast like sharp swords.

The dark behemoth roared in agony, its body trembling uncontrollably, as if it were about to collapse.

"Keep attacking! Don't stop!" I shouted, my voice filled with excitement and anticipation.

I know that victory is just around the corner!

However, just when I thought we were about to achieve final victory, the dark behemoth suddenly stopped struggling. It raised its head, its blood-red eyes fixed on me, filled with hatred and rage.

An ominous premonition came over me.

Then, I saw the dark behemoth's body begin to change. Its skin became harder and its color deepened, like a piece of black steel. Its claws became sharper, gleaming with a cold light, as if capable of tearing anything apart.

Even more shockingly, the dark behemoth's attack methods have changed. It no longer attacks blindly, but has begun to consciously target the weak points of our beast-taming formation.

"Oh no! It seems to have become smarter!" Su Yao exclaimed.

My heart sank, and I quickly adjusted our tactics, ordering the beasts to strengthen our defenses. However, the dark behemoth's attacks grew increasingly fierce and precise, and cracks began to appear in our defensive formation.

"The flank! The flank is about to collapse!" the Mercury Messenger cried out in terror.

I quickly looked to the flank and saw that several smaller dark creatures had broken through our defenses and were rushing towards the support personnel behind us.

I cursed inwardly and quickly commanded some of my tamed beasts to go and provide support. However, the dark behemoth's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and my tamed beasts were already exhausted and unable to spare any resources to support the flanks.

"Nong Yu, what should we do?" Su Yao asked anxiously.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. The situation was extremely critical, and I had to come up with a way to turn things around.

My gaze fell upon the Iridium Beastmaster. Although he had always been skeptical of us unexpected allies, he had also demonstrated considerable strength in the previous battles.

“Iridium Beastmaster,” I said in a deep voice, “your beast taming is skilled in defense. I want you to lead your team to support the flanks and hold back those dark creatures!”

The Beast Tamer hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Okay, I'll go!"

After saying that, he led his team to charge towards the flank.

As I watched his retreating figure, I silently prayed in my heart: He must succeed!

Just then, Strategist Jinbo walked up to me, his expression somewhat grave.

“Nong Yu,” he said in a deep voice, “I…”
