Chapter 76: Tame Magic Beasts (1/2)

Translator: Soldier

The front of the valley was a training square, but the rear of it was separated into several parts by high walls. Soldiers lived in the front. Magic beasts were imprisoned at the back.

She could see that it had taken quite some time to build this base.

The hills at the rear of the valley were the steepest. Maybe those magic beasts were imprisoned here so that they would not be able to flee, which was why there was no guard here.

With Heavenly Silk, Yun Wu directly descended from the steep cliff towards the valley. The Heavenly Silk was long enough, so she had shot it several times before she managed to land on the ground of the valley.

”Roar–Roar–”

The position Yun Wu landed was not far away from an imprisoned Tier IV Iron Lion. Seeing this human, the Iron Lion roared repeatedly.

”Ring... ”

The Iron Lion strained at the iron chains and clanked them, roaring angrily.

There were several scars on the body of that Iron Lion. It revealed its hideous fangs with ferocious eyes ablaze with anger. Clearly it hadn't been tamed yet.

The training had aroused its beast nature and it had gone out of control, so someone had chained its limbs.

Yun Wu lifted her eyebrows and curved her lips in a cruel smile.

These people had spared her a lot of trouble.

With a flip of her hand, she drew a dagger and closed in on the lion step by step.

”Roar– Roar...” the Iron Lion roared angrily while straining at the iron chains more violently, as if it wanted to tear Yun Wu into pieces.

However, right at the moment when Yun Wu was about to pounce on the target, sounds of measured and sure-footed tramps were heard and quickly getting closer.

”Captain, since the Iron Lion is roaring so loudly, it must be trying to free itself from the chains,” a soldier said to the leader of the team.

A dozen trained Tier-V soldiers were marching towards the back of the valley in a column.

”Keep your eyes peeled. We can't afford to let any accidents happen in the next few days,” the captain said solemnly with a cold look.

More than ten soldiers answered in unison, ”Yes, Sir!”

Their voice displayed the tacit agreement between them and their consciousness of obeying orders.

The biggest difference between soldiers and guards was that there was better tacit teamwork among soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of an army was not loose but cohesive.

Once someone engaged an army, this person would be besieged and the enemies would never stop coming, unless this person was capable of wiping out the whole army.

Yun Wu had no intention to engage this army. Otherwise, it might be rather difficult for her to retreat unharmed, so she flashed into a passage nearby and hid herself before those people arrived.

But after entering that passage, she found that she seemed to have intruded into the territory of some other magic beasts.

When Yun Wu walked out of that passage and saw those flying beasts locked in iron cages, a wave of amazement rose inside her.

Those flying beasts were exceptionally calm. When they saw her, they merely raised their eyes and looked at her without any other reaction.

Apparently they had been tamed, but she could still see their beast nature in their eyes, so it could be seen that these flying beasts had retained their beast nature though they had been tamed.

What was going on?

Yun Wu didn't know, but she must get some beast blood as soon as possible.

But...

What Yun Wu didn't know was that from the moment she walked into this area, someone had been watching her all along with a pair of black eyes.

And the reason why these magic beasts had been so quiet was because that person had been controlling them.

...

After walking around this area, Yun Wu became even more surprised. There were far more tame magic beasts than she had imagined, and a lot of them were at Tier-IV.

Once these magic beasts were sent to a battleground, their combat effectiveness would be immeasurable.

Astonished as she was, Yun Wu had finally found a suitable target – a Snow Leopard in peak stage of Tier IV. It was separately imprisoned in a corner, chained as well.

Given her current physical condition, she should save energy whenever she could.

But when she was about to make her move, a cold look suddenly flashed across her purple eyes and she shot some silver needles towards a target behind her. With a swish of her figure, she stabbed a dagger at the person who was hiding in concealment.

The man hiding in the dark sidestepped in a weird manner and quickly dodged her strike.

Right at this moment, with a gleam of cold light, the edge of a sword was pressed against Yun Wu's neck, and the tip of Yun Wu's dagger was also against his chest where the heart was.

The circumstance was exactly the same as the one in the forest that day.

There was a ghost of a smile on Zhou Feiyu's solemn face. He lowered his head and watched this little woman before him, a distinctly amused look in his eyes.

”We met again! This time you came to me yourself.”

Seeing Zhou Feiyu, Yun Wu frowned and recollected that he had been the man she had met in the forest, ”It's you!”

Since this man appeared in this place, he should be a member of that army. But how had he discovered her?

”The way we met each other was always so special, which made my impression of you deeper and deeper,” Zhou Feiyu watched her and mumbled in a deep voice.
