Beast Taming Star Journey

Wu Gang's words made me stop abruptly. I followed his gaze and saw the runes on the stone door shimmering with an eerie light under the torchlight, as if they had come to life.

"There seems to be something strange about this door."

Wu Gang pushed up his glasses, his tone grave. I felt a chill run down my spine, sensing something was amiss.

I didn't recognize a single one of the runes on this stone gate, and the aura they emitted made my beast-taming power somewhat restless.

"I can't worry about anything else! The treasure is right in front of me, and nobody can stop me!"

With a roar, Boss Zhao charged towards the stone gate. His men followed suit, scrambling to seize the treasure.

"Let's go too!"

I gave a low shout, and Xiao Jin immediately understood, letting out a low growl and blocking Su Yao and me.

"and many more!"

Su Yao suddenly grabbed my arm, "Look!"

I followed Su Yao's gaze and saw that the runes on the stone door were shining brighter and brighter, and a powerful energy wave was emanating from the stone door, distorting the surrounding air.

The treasure's radiance, like a dazzling star, illuminated the entire hall, seemingly awaiting its true owner.

Zhao Laoda and his men had already rushed to the stone gate. They greedily reached out, wanting to touch the treasure that was radiating light.

"careful!"

A sense of foreboding rose in my heart, and I shouted a warning.

Just then, the runes on the stone gate suddenly burst forth with a blinding light, and a powerful force sent Zhao Laoda and the others flying.

They screamed and fell to the ground, each clutching their chest in pain. I was startled and quickly instructed Xiao Jin to protect Su Yao and me.

Su Yao reacted quickly, brandishing her longsword to create a sword energy barrier that blocked the powerful energy impact.

"what happened?"

Wu Gang and Lin Wan'er hid behind us, asking in alarm. I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know either. This sudden turn of events caught me off guard.

Su Yao and I exchanged a glance, both understanding each other perfectly. We had to be extremely careful to survive this battle for the treasure.

A single glance was enough for them to understand each other's intentions. Su Yao darted about like a nimble swallow, weaving through Zhao Laoda's gang.

The long sword in her hand was like a silver snake, each swing carrying a sharp sword aura, forcing Zhao Laoda's men to retreat step by step.

I directed Xiao Jin to attack the enemy from the side.

Xiao Jin was incredibly fast, like a golden lightning bolt. Every attack he made was powerful and heavy, leaving Zhao Laoda's gang somewhat overwhelmed.

Su Yao and I worked together flawlessly, as if we were one person. We covered for each other and supported each other, keeping Zhao Laoda's gang completely under our control.

"hateful!"

Zhao Laoda roared, a fierce glint in his eyes, "You ignorant fools, how dare you stop me!"

Zhao Laoda suddenly stood up, a huge battle axe appearing in his hand, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.

He glared at me fiercely and said in a deep voice, "Kid, I'll take care of you first!"

Old Zhao brandished his giant axe, bringing it down on me with overwhelming force. I dared not take it head-on and quickly commanded Xiao Jin to dodge.

The giant axe slammed heavily onto the ground with a deafening roar, cracking the ground in numerous fissures.

"Little Jin, fight back!"

I shouted. Little Jin roared, his whole body radiating golden light, and he pounced on Boss Zhao.

The man and the beast instantly clashed, their swords flashing and golden light gleaming, the entire hall echoing with deafening crashes.

Boss Zhao's strength was indeed not to be underestimated; every axe strike carried a sharp gust of wind, leaving Xiao Jin and me struggling to keep up. Beads of sweat appeared on my forehead, and I inwardly groaned.

At this rate, we'll eventually be exhausted by him. Just then, I saw that Su Yao's situation was also not optimistic.

Although Liu Lao Er was not as strong as Zhao Lao Da, his movements were extremely agile, as slippery as an eel, making it difficult for Su Yao's attacks to be effective.

Moreover, he held a peculiar dagger in his hand, which shimmered with an eerie green light, clearly poisoned.

"Yaoyao, watch out for his dagger!"

I called out a warning. Su Yao paused slightly upon hearing my voice, dodging Liu Lao Er's sneak attack. She turned around and gave me a determined look.

"Nong Yu, be careful, I'm right beside you."

Her voice was clear and strong, like a warm current flowing into my heart.

"Yaoyao, we can definitely win."

I looked at her, my heart filled with strength. I took a deep breath, focused again, and directed Xiao Jin to deal with Boss Zhao.

I must deal with Boss Zhao as soon as possible before I can go and support Su Yao. The battle intensified, and the entire hall was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.

Both Zhao Laoda and I used every trick in the book, each move aimed to kill, and we both wanted to end this battle as soon as possible.

Just then, I noticed that the radiant treasure seemed to be affected by our battle; its light began to flicker, and the surrounding energy fluctuations became increasingly intense.

Oh no! My heart sank. This treasure is probably about to undergo a strange change! I must deal with Boss Zhao as soon as possible! I gritted my teeth and commanded Little Gold to launch an even more ferocious attack.

Little Gold sensed my determination and let out a deafening roar, its golden light shining even brighter.

Zhao Laoda seemed to have noticed the changes in the treasure as well. His face became even more gloomy, and his attacks became even more frenzied.

Just as I was locked in a fierce battle with Boss Zhao, the other members of Boss Zhao's gang seemed to have noticed the change in the treasure. They all stopped what they were doing, their eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

They exchanged a glance, then slowly backed away, increasing the distance between us. What... were they doing?

A sense of unease rose within me, and my vigilance was heightened to the highest level.

Boss Zhao suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Kid, you think you can win like this? We haven't even used our real skills yet!"

His words sent a chill down my spine, a coldness shooting straight from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

"True skill..."

I muttered to myself, my eyes fixed on Boss Zhao, gripping the weapon in my hand tightly.
