Chapter 340: The Rooms of Samsara (1/2)
Although the Evil Spirit had died, it was not the end of the battle. Luoluo and Bai Tianyi were both bloated. They were filled with the soul power of the Evil Spirit, and this was immensely dominating and overpowering.
Xue Wei and the Scarlet Blood Bats could do nothing now. The rest of the battle depended entirely on Luoluo, and Bai Tianyi's willpower to resist the killing and evil vibes within the soul power.
”Guard them well,” Xue Wei left the task of protecting Luoluo and Bai Tianyi to Xue Fu and the other Scarlet Blood Bats, while he himself headed towards the cave that had belonged to the spirit.
When the Evil Spirit had died, it had not left behind a corpse, as it had dissipated into thin air. Even the clothes it had been wearing were created from Spiritual Energy and had turned to nothing.
Hence, Xue Wei quickly deducted that the beast tag was left within the cave, and within this beast tag should be a destructive beast that could not be belittled.
”Come with me.” Before actually entering the cave, he turned to Lin Xiao and gestured for him to follow. Although Xue Wei could use his bloodline to threaten the beast in the beast tag, it would be much better if they could tame it.
Inside the cave was many wondrous things. Resources of every kind could be found piled into mountains.
There were storage treasures in one corner, all of which had clearly been tossed aside after killing their previous owners.
In another corner were jade boxes and bottles filled with herbs and pills. There were scrolls with formations and inscriptions.
As they walked through the entrance, Xue Wei waved his hand, and everything flew into his own storage treasure.
He had gained many spoils of war throughout the trip to the Thunder Twilight Zone, but so far he had not had the time to look through what items he had gained. It would take a long time for him to look through it all and figure out what he could use and what should be stored to sell.
Xue Wei went through the entire cave, and everything he encountered was scooped up and placed in his storage treasures. When one was filled, he would find another and fill that one as well.
When he reached the inner areas of the cave, he found that this was the residential area of the Evil Spirit. In here were random materials, mainly the furniture which was made out of exotic ore, and was quickly stored by Xue Wei.
When he reached the table, he found the beast tag.
The beast tag seemed as if it was a small emblem. It appeared to have been created from some unknown type of wood, and on top of it was the sign for beasts.
Xue Wei placed his hand on top of it and embedded his spiritual energy mark onto it.
The moment his energy landed on the beast tag, Xue Wei felt resilient energy that tried to fight against him.
Even so, Xue Wei activated his bloodline, and the resilient energy started trembling. It was clearly not willing, but in front of the overwhelming sovereignty, it could do nothing but bend and bow.
”You tame it,” Xue Wei said as he tossed the beast tag to Lin Xiao. It was not that he was not willing to overwhelm the beast with his bloodline. However, it was better to tame it.
When a beast was tamed, it would become a slave of the Diviner who tamed it, not only in body but also in mind. In the mind of a tamed beast, it would be impossible ever to have a rebellious thought towards their master.
Lin Xiao sat down in the middle of the living area within the cave, took out his staff, and began facing off against the beast tag.
Xue Wei glanced at the focused Lin Xiao, but he did not stay around him. He knew that as long as the beast was within the beast tag, it had absolutely no way of fighting back against the taming process. Although the beast was likely of a higher rank, it was currently constrained by the beast tag, and thus unable to put up a fight.
Since Xue Wei knew that Lin Xiao was safe, he did not hesitate to continue his exploration of the cave.
He walked deeper into the cave. Although the living quarters were somewhat big, they were not the end of the cave.
Walking deeper in, he found that there was a stone door. This stone door seemed somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen it before.
Curious, and feeling as if something was pulling him, Xue Wei pushed open the door and looked into the room in the front.
The room was round. It was illuminated by a strange pearl-like orb that was in the very middle, spreading a warm and gentle light over the entire room.
Although the light was warm, Xue Wei felt a shiver run down his spine as he looked at the room he was in.
Bloody scratch marks were embedded in the walls, there was not even a slight space without scratch marks, and while some of the blood seemed ancient, some was fresh.
Although the blood was on the walls, the floor was immaculate. There was not even the slightest bit of blood or spots on the ground; it was spotless and white like marble.
When looking at this room, Xue Wei instantly felt that he had been dragged back to the time when he was on the ninth floor of the Soul Tower.
From size to bloody scratches, light to floor, everything was the exact same.
Xue Wei took a deep breath. He was hesitating to enter the room. Something was calling for him within the room, but at the same time, he felt an almost tangible feeling of danger.
”Well, danger and fortune go hand in hand,” Xue Wei muttered as he made a decision. Steeling his heart, he took one step into the room, and as soon as he did, the door slammed behind him.
