Beast Taming Star Journey

The runes on the stone gate flickered with an eerie light, and a powerful force repelled me. I rubbed my aching chest, secretly marveling at the strength of this force.

Su Yao quickly helped me up, "Are you alright, Nong Yu?"

I shook my head, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

"It seems this door won't be so easy to open..."

I said in a low voice, my eyes fixed on the runes on the stone door.

These runes are complex and ancient, exuding a mysterious aura; I feel they seem to contain some kind of special energy.

Wu Gang and Lin Wan'er also came over. Wu Gang carefully examined the runes and said, "These runes should be some kind of ancient seal, which can only be broken by a specific method."

I took a deep breath and tried to touch the rune with my hand again. This time, I concentrated and slowly infused my beast-taming ability into the rune.

My beast-taming ability allows me to communicate with beasts, and perhaps it can also resonate with these runes.

Sure enough, when I infused the beast-taming ability into the rune, I felt a strange energy fluctuation emanating from the rune, resonating with my beast-taming ability.

I closed my eyes, carefully sensing the flow of this energy, trying to understand the meaning behind the runes. Time passed second by second, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.

Su Yao waited anxiously by my side. She knew I was at a crucial moment and didn't dare to disturb me.

Suddenly, I felt a flash of inspiration, as if I had captured some kind of pattern in the runes.

I opened my eyes and looked at the runes again. This time, I saw details I hadn't seen before.

There seems to be some kind of connection between the runes; they are like musical notes, forming a mysterious melody.

I took a deep breath and, according to my understanding of the rules, infused my beast-taming abilities into different runes.

As I moved, the runes on the stone gate began to emit a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave spread outwards.

"Kakaka..."

A muffled sound rang out, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage. A chilling aura emanated from the passage, sending a shiver down one's spine.

"Success!"

"Su Yao shouted excitedly. I nodded, my heart also filled with joy."

We have finally opened the door to the treasure chamber. Next, we will face unknown challenges and treasures.

"and many more!"

Wu Gang suddenly said, "There seems to be something in this passage..."

He had barely finished speaking when a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar. We turned around and saw Zhao Laoda and Liu Laoer leading a group of men toward us menacingly.

When Zhao Laoda saw the open stone door, a greedy smile appeared on his face. "It seems you have found the entrance to the treasure chamber."

My heart sank; it seemed a fierce battle was inevitable… Boss Zhao grinned maliciously and waved his hand, “Charge in and seize the treasure!”

At Zhao Laoda's command, his rabble rushed into the secret room like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

I cursed under my breath. This old guy is really impatient. Doesn't he care if there's a trap inside?

Su Yao drew her longsword, her gaze icy. "Let's go in too, but be careful."

Wu Gang and Lin Wan'er nodded and followed us into the dark passage.

As soon as I stepped into the secret room, a cold and damp atmosphere hit me, accompanied by a strange fishy smell.

Strange patterns were carved on the walls on both sides of the passage, which looked particularly eerie in the dim light.

Before we could observe carefully, a sharp cry shattered the tranquility of the secret room.

From the depths of the passage, countless dark figures surged forth like a tide, so densely packed that it sent chills down one's spine.

By the light of the torch, I finally saw the true form of these shadowy figures—they were a group of small guardian beasts, lizard-like in shape, covered in hard scales that shimmered with a metallic luster.

Although these guardian beasts were not large, they were extremely aggressive. They opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, let out a piercing screech, and pounced on us.

"careful!"

I shouted and channeled my beast-taming power into my fists, unleashing a punch that sent a guardian beast that was lunging at me flying.

Su Yao wielded her longsword with impenetrable speed, the sword light flashing as she slew the guardian beasts that approached her one by one.

Wu Gang also summoned his tamed beast, a giant raptor, and engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian beast.

Although Lin Wan'er did not have the ability to control beasts, she did not back down and followed closely behind us, dodging the attacks of the guardian beasts.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the secret chamber was filled with the roars of the guardian beasts and the clash of weapons.

Just then, I heard Su Yao groan. I turned around and saw her clutching her arm, her face pale.

A guardian beast took advantage of her momentary lapse in attention and left a deep wound on her arm.

"Su Yao!"

My heart tightened, and I quickly pulled her behind me. While fending off the guardian beast's attacks, I asked with concern, "How are you? Are you badly hurt?"

Su Yao looked at me with eyes full of love, "With you here, this little injury is nothing."

Her words warmed my heart and strengthened my resolve to protect her.

I pushed my beast-taming power to its limit, forcing back the surrounding guardian beasts. Then I took out a bottle of healing medicine from my pocket and carefully applied it to Su Yao's wounds.

“We need to find the treasure and get out of here as soon as possible,” I whispered. “It’s too dangerous here.”

Su Yao nodded; she knew this wasn't the time for sentimentality. We continued deeper into the secret chamber, constantly encountering attacks from guardian beasts along the way, but we managed to overcome them all.

Boss Zhao and his men were also engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian beast. Although they were powerful, they appeared somewhat disheveled. Finally, we arrived at the center of the secret chamber.

There, a treasure chest emitting a faint glow sat quietly on a stone platform. As we drew closer to the chest, my heart pounded faster and faster.

Closer, closer... Just as we were about to touch the treasure chest, it suddenly released a dazzling white light... Immediately afterwards, the surrounding air began to fluctuate violently, and a huge energy shield appeared out of thin air, enveloping the treasure chest.

"what happened……"

I muttered to myself, a sense of foreboding rising in my heart.
