Beast Taming Star Journey

The wound on the Howling Moon Wolf's leg was deeper than I had imagined; blood kept seeping out, staining its silvery-white fur red. I was extremely anxious and quickly tore off a corner of my robe to help bandage it.

"Xiaoyue, hold on!"

I whispered words of comfort to it, while trying to calm myself down. Although we won the match, the injuries to Howling Wolf filled me with worry.

The upcoming matches will only be more difficult. If Xiaoyue Tianlang's injuries do not heal in time, we may find it hard to continue.

I carried the Howling Moon Wolf back to my residence and immediately began searching for medicinal herbs to heal my wounds.

I had prepared some commonly used healing medicines, but they probably wouldn't be enough for a spirit beast like the Howling Moon Wolf.

Time ticked by, and Xiaoyue Tianlang's breathing grew more and more rapid, the blood flowing from his wounds increasing. I was frantic with worry, almost to the point of despair.

Is there really no way out? No, I can't give up! I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

I began to recall all the knowledge I had about using beasts to heal wounds, hoping to find a glimmer of hope. Suddenly, an ancient book flashed into my mind—"The Marvelous Formulas of Beast Taming."

It was an ancient book I came across by chance, which contained many lost secret recipes for taming beasts. I quickly rummaged through my belongings and finally found that long-forgotten book.

I quickly flipped through the pages, hoping to find a way to treat Howling Wolf's injuries.

Finally, on a yellowed page, I saw a medicinal herb called "Blood Lingzhi," which is said to be able to quickly heal various external injuries and even has a certain effect on internal injuries.

Blood Ganoderma! I gripped the pages of the book tightly, a glimmer of hope burning in my eyes.

According to the book, the Blood Spirit Mushroom grows deep in the Misty Forest, a place full of dangers, but for the sake of Howling Moon Wolf, I must go!

I quickly packed my bags, took a few essentials, and then resolutely set off. Misty Forest, here I come!

Just as its name suggests, the Misty Forest is shrouded in thick fog year-round, with extremely low visibility. I proceeded cautiously, constantly alert to any movement around me.

The forest was fraught with unknown dangers, and I dared not relax my vigilance for even a moment. After several days of arduous trekking, I finally found the Blood Spirit Mushroom.

It grew under an ancient tree, its entire body bright red, exuding a faint spiritual aura. I carefully picked the blood-red Ganoderma lucidum and then hurried back to my lodgings.

Upon returning to my lodgings, I immediately followed the instructions in "The Marvelous Prescriptions for Taming Beasts," crushing the Blood Spirit Mushroom and applying it to the wounds of the Howling Moon Wolf.

A miraculous thing happened: the effects of the Blood Spirit Mushroom were immediate, and the wounds of the Howling Moon Wolf healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing the Howling Moon Wolf gradually regain its strength, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I gently stroked its fur, my heart filled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, a fragrant aroma wafted over... Someone gently knocked on the door, "Nong Yu, it's me."

I smelled the familiar aroma of food, and my heart warmed. I opened the door, and sure enough, it was Su Yao, carrying a food box and wearing a gentle smile.

"I saw that you've been busy for several days because of Xiaoyue and haven't eaten properly, so I made some of your favorite dishes."

I stepped aside to let her in, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I had indeed been exhausted both physically and mentally these past few days, and Su Yao's appearance was like a clear spring, nourishing my parched heart.

She placed the food box on the table and laid out each dish one by one—all my favorite dishes. The steaming food smelled wonderful and made me feel incredibly warm and cozy.

The Howling Moon Wolf also raised its head, sniffed, and let out a low growl, seemingly attracted by the fragrance as well.

"How is Xiaoyue?"

Su Yao asked with concern, gently stroking the head of the Howling Moon Wolf.

"I'm much better now, thanks to the Blood Spirit Mushroom."

I pointed to the scabbed wound on Xiaoyue Tianlang's leg and said. Su Yao then noticed my slightly haggard face and mud-covered clothes, and sighed with heartache.

"You always act so recklessly. You actually went to such a dangerous place as the Misty Forest for Xiaoyue."

I smiled and said, "Xiaoyue is my partner, and I can't just stand by and watch it get hurt."

Su Yao looked at me tenderly, her eyes full of love. She picked up a piece of pastry and held it to my lips, "Have something to eat first."

I opened my mouth to eat, and Su Yao's fingers accidentally touched my lips. A jolt of electricity instantly spread throughout my body, and my heart started racing.

We ate our meal in silence, occasionally our eyes meeting, a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere filling the air. However, this moment of tranquility was soon shattered.

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door, and a serious voice came from outside: "Nong Yu, the competition organizers are looking for you."

My heart sank, and I had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

As expected, the organizers wanted to disqualify me from the next match, citing that Xiaoyue Tianlang's injury might affect the fairness of the competition.

I argued my case, explaining that Xiaoyue Tianlang's injuries had healed and would not affect the competition. After a heated debate, the organizers finally agreed to let me continue competing.

Although I retained my eligibility to participate, I was filled with unease.

Because my next opponent is very mysterious, no one knows his background, and no one has ever seen his beast.

I didn't even know what type of attack he was good at, which put both Xiaoyue Tianlang and me on the defensive. Back at our lodgings, I told Su Yao about the match.

She looked at me with concern, took my hand, and said, "No matter what, I will support you."

Her hand was warm and strong, giving me immense encouragement. On the day of the competition, I brought Xiaoyue Tianlang to the venue. The stands were packed with people, and the atmosphere was incredibly enthusiastic.

However, my heart was heavy. My opponent had finally appeared. He wore a mask and a long black robe, and was shrouded in an aura of mystery.

His tamed beast was also covered by a black robe, making it impossible to tell what kind it was. He remained silent, simply standing there coldly, like a frozen sculpture.

Suddenly, he moved. He swung his hand sharply, and a dark shadow flew out from his tamed beast...
