Beast Taming Star Journey

Zhao Laoda's chilling laughter echoed in the hall. I clenched my fists. Little Jin growled beside me, its golden fur standing on end. Sensing my tension, it too went into battle alert. The air around us seemed to freeze, oppressively thick with tension. I warily scanned Zhao Laoda and his men; they all wore eerie smiles, as if victory was assured.

"Boy, suffer death!"

Suddenly, Zhao Laoda shouted, put his hands together, and muttered some incantations.

A black aura emanated from him, spreading rapidly and shrouding the entire hall in darkness.

I felt an immense pressure bearing down on me, making it hard to breathe. What... what kind of evil magic is this?

I was secretly alarmed and quickly mobilized my spiritual power to prepare to resist the invasion of this dark power.

Little Gold also sensed the danger and let out a deafening roar. Golden light burst forth from its body, forming a protective shield that enveloped both of us.

The black aura surged in like a tide, crashing against the golden light shield and making a hissing sound. I felt the light shield tremble violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.

"Haha, it's useless! This is my Dark Beast Taming Technique, which I've practiced for many years. No one can withstand it!"

Boss Zhao laughed wildly, his face contorted and twisted, like a demon from hell. Dark Beast Taming Technique?

A thought struck me: I remembered seeing a record of this kind of evil magic in an ancient book.

This sorcery is said to absorb negative energy from the surrounding environment, thereby enhancing its own power. However, this power is extremely unstable and can easily backfire on the user.

I gritted my teeth, struggling to maintain the stability of the light shield. I couldn't panic! I had to find a way to break this evil spell! I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

Suddenly, I remembered my special beast-taming ability. I can share power with Xiao Jin and absorb and transform various kinds of energy!

"Xiao Jin, get ready!"

I growled at Little Gold. Little Gold seemed to understand what I meant; it closed its eyes, and the golden light on its body shone even brighter.

I concentrated my mind and poured all the spiritual energy in my body into Xiao Jin's body.

Little Gold let out a low growl, its body began to swell, and the golden light became even more dazzling.

"absorb!"

I shouted. Little Gold opened its mouth wide, and a powerful suction force emanated from it, drawing all the surrounding black energy into its body.

"what?!"

Boss Zhao's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that I could absorb his Dark Beast Taming Technique. As the black aura was continuously absorbed, the golden light on Little Gold's body grew increasingly dazzling.

I felt a powerful force surging within me.

"Fight back!"

I shouted again. Little Gold let out a deafening roar, opened its mouth wide, and a golden energy wave shot out from its mouth, heading straight for Boss Zhao.

Zhao Laoda was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the golden energy wave. He let out a scream and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Boss!"

Liu Lao Er exclaimed in shock, "He...he actually..." When Liu Lao Er saw Zhao Lao Da lying on the ground, his eyes instantly turned blood red, and he roared as he charged towards me like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

"I want you to pay with your life!"

He shouted hoarsely, a gleaming dagger appearing in his hand without his noticing. Before I could react, a figure blocked my way. It was Su Yao!

She drew her longsword and met Liu Lao Er's attack. A flurry of swordplay ensued, the two locked in a fierce battle, their movements so fast they were almost invisible.

All I heard was the piercing sound of metal clashing and Su Yao's occasional low growls. I clenched my fists, my heart pounding in my chest.

Although Su Yao was powerful, Liu Lao Er was also a desperate man, ruthless and merciless in every move.

I was worried that Su Yao would get hurt, but I didn't dare to intervene rashly, for fear of disrupting her rhythm. Suddenly, I saw Su Yao groan and stagger back a few steps.

Bright red blood dripped down her arm, staining her sleeve. My heart clenched, and a surge of anger welled up inside me.

"Su Yao!"

I shouted and rushed forward to help her.

"I'm fine..."

Su Yao forced a smile at me despite the pain.

"It's just a minor injury..."

"You still say you're fine!"

I held her in my arms tenderly and gently stroked her face.

"You're always like this, disregarding your own safety..."

Su Yao leaned on my shoulder, her breathing was a little rapid, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"As long as I can be with you, this injury is nothing..."

I looked at her, my heart filled with emotion and love. I lowered my head and gently kissed her forehead. In that moment, I felt like I possessed the whole world.

However, we didn't have much time for tenderness. Although Zhao Laoda was injured, he hadn't lost his fighting ability. He struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes flashing with resentment.

"You...all must die!"

His voice was hoarse as he once again mobilized the dark energy within him. I helped Su Yao to her feet, keeping a wary eye on Boss Zhao.

I know that this battle is not over yet, and we will face even more severe tests.

The ownership of the treasure is still undetermined. Can we completely defeat the enemy and leave the ruins safely? I took a deep breath, shielded Su Yao behind me, and looked at Boss Zhao with a determined gaze.

"Xiao Jin, get ready..."

I whispered, feeling Xiao Jin's power surging within me, an unprecedented sense of power filling my entire body.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, the ruins began to collapse, and rocks kept falling from above. I realized I had to leave this place as soon as possible.

I grabbed Su Yao's hand and ran towards the exit. Behind us, Boss Zhao's frantic shouts and the deafening crash of the collapsing ruins mingled together, like a symphony of death.

Finally, we escaped the ruins. Standing in the sunlight, I looked back at the ruins that had been reduced to rubble, and my heart was filled with mixed feelings.

This is just the beginning... I stand on the town's walls, watching the surging tide of beasts approaching from afar, the wind ruffling the hem of my clothes...

"coming……"

I murmured.
