Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 237 Battle for Immortal-Grade Spirit Eggs

"Shall we leave?"

Bai Ling swallowed hard.

It wasn't that she was scared, but rather that there were simply too many spirit beasts in front of her.

Looking over, Lin Chen suddenly felt a little discouraged.

The opposing force was overwhelmingly powerful; countless spirit beasts were watching them intently, and their eyes lit up the moment they saw Lin Chen and Bai Ling, the two outcasts.
Lin Chen felt ashamed.

This celestial-grade spirit egg is indeed not so easy to obtain.

Bai Ling was right. If they were to fight head-on, even a few more Bai Lings and Lin Chens wouldn't be enough.

Even if all the people who come to Heavenly Beast Island were combined, they would probably be no match for them.

Seeing the beasts preparing to attack, Bai Ling's face turned pale instantly, as the sheer number of them was terrifying. Lin Chen glanced at the little fox, who then roared and leaped onto a high rock. With its eyes fixed ahead, it instantly used its Burning Heart Fire Control technique to condense a true fire nuclear bomb.

The leading beast kings were all level 40. Seeing the little fox's True Fire Nuclear Bomb, they immediately huddled together, protecting the direction of the Immortal-grade Spirit Egg.

Clearly, the little fox was too low-ranking and not within their consideration.

They were even more enraged when they saw that Lin Chen dared to take the initiative to attack, and they gave the herd a kill signal.

Lin Chen was startled by this scene and quickly shouted:

"Everyone, I definitely can't beat you, but there's a new volcano behind you, and there must still be lava inside. If my spirit beast throws a fireball in, you'll all die."

Upon hearing this, the beast horde continued their charge, threatening to engulf them. Lin Chen's pupils constricted sharply, and he gave the little fox the command: "Drop!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the little fox raised the real fire nuclear bomb high.

Just then, a beast's roar rang out:
"Roar!"

Instantly, all the beasts stopped, and Lin Chen immediately stopped the little fox's movements. Looking over, he saw a beast king with extremely dark skin.

Hundred-eyed beast.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast doesn't look good; in fact, it might even make people with trypophobia feel a bit creeped out.

However, it doesn't have a hundred eyes as its name suggests; its head is rather strange, with a full ten eyes.

The strength of these spirit beasts is determined by the number of eyes they have opened.

However, currently, apart from its two normal eyes, all its other eyes are closed, making it impossible to determine its maximum strength.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King looked at Lin Chen with murderous intent. The latter quickly said, "This immortal-grade spirit egg is not your child. You do have an obligation to protect it, but there is no need to sacrifice the entire clan."

The Beast King's pupils turned even more hostile. Was this human threatening and provoking them?

The beast kings are all quite intelligent, and at this moment they can understand that Lin Chen is threatening them.

However, Lin Chen did not intend to deceive them so easily. Instead, he said, "You have lived here for more than just a day or two, and you know that every four years, humans will come in to take the eggs. Even if I don't get them today, others will come to take them tomorrow."

At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Beast roared, meaning that Lin Chen should stop trying to scare people and that even if others took it, it wouldn't be his turn.

"I just want a chance," Lin Chen said with a smile. "If you don't give it to me, then we'll fight to the death."

The Hundred-Eyed Beast also sneered. It roared and mocked Lin Chen, saying that humans are most afraid of death, so how could they be willing to perish together with them?

"I think you've misunderstood me," Lin Chen said. "If I blow up this volcano, all we have to do is shout 'Help me!' and someone will come to our rescue immediately."

"This celestial-grade spirit egg can easily withstand volcanic lava. In the end, only you will die, while we will only lose the opportunity to get the egg."

Lin Chen's words caused the spirit beasts to exchange bewildered glances.

They had indeed lived here for a long time and understood that what Lin Chen said was true.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast could tell from Lin Chen's previous actions that Lin Chen was a ruthless person.

If they fail to reach a deal, Lin Chen might really do that.

As for the little fox's True Fire Nuclear Bomb, igniting a volcano would be an extremely simple matter.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King nodded, and the deal was struck. Then, six level 40 beast kings stepped forward, meaning that as long as Lin Chen defeated them, he would offer up the Immortal-grade Spirit Egg with both hands.

"..." Lin Chen was speechless after hearing this. "Brother Beast King, stop messing with me. Neither of our spirit beasts is level 40. If all six of you attack at once, I might as well just surrender."

The Hundred-Eyed Beast scanned Lin Chen, asking him what he wanted.

"How about this, two of us?" Lin Chen said. "Neither of our third spirit beasts can participate in this kind of battle. Two of our spirit beasts are only level 32, which is much lower. Do you think this is reasonable?"

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King glanced back at the other Beast Kings, then formed a circle and went to hold a small meeting.

A short while later, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King told Lin Chen that two were too few; the minimum was three Beast Kings.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen gave a wry smile, thinking to himself that these beast kings were even more cunning than ghosts.

If it's two heads, Lin Chen and his partner have a pretty high chance of winning. But if it's three heads, the difficulty level increases dramatically.

With Xiaobai's current strength, he can handle a level 40 Beastmaster.

The Devouring Beast's abilities are unknown, but it should be able to hold out for a while.

As for Little Red and Red Velvet Chicken, their levels are quite different.

Seeing that the beast kings refused to reduce their numbers any further, Lin Chen could only nod.

There was nothing we could do; the other party wouldn't budge, so we had no choice but to give it a try.

However, the Hundred-Eyed Beast then looked at Lin Chen and asked how to confirm that humans, who are always cunning and cannot be trusted, would not go back on their word.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it spoke, the three-headed spirit beast Xiaobai immediately stepped forward and told the Beast King that their Beast Masters could be criticized in other ways, but their character could not be criticized.

The three spirit beasts can even swear oaths to their ancestors.

Only then did the beast kings believe it.

"Then it's settled."

As Lin Chen spoke, he pulled over several spirit beasts and began a meeting.

Meanwhile, the beast kings also began to hold a meeting to discuss which three beast kings to send into battle.

"Did he really succeed?"

The three people watching from above were dumbfounded. They had all thought that even if Lin Chen defeated Gu Ning, he would have no chance of getting to the top.

Who would have thought that Lin Chen would actually threaten the Beast Kings and reach a deal with them?

"Do you think they can win?" Guo Hua asked.

Yu Xiu didn't speak. In fact, all three of them knew that if Lin Chen hadn't obtained this immortal-grade spirit egg, it would have been taken back to Tiandu and would most likely have ended up in the hands of the Tian Shu Pavilion. As for which family it would eventually end up with, that was anyone's guess.

"I think there's a chance," Zhang Jin said, looking at Lin Chen.

"Three level 40 Beastmasters, it seems that Lin Chen and his group are indeed at a great disadvantage, but Lin Chen has always been good at creating miracles."

While Zhang Jin and the others were talking, Lin Chen, Bai Ling, and a group of spirit beasts were having a meeting. Several small beasts tried to eavesdrop, but Lin Chen scolded them for being rude.

The beast kings also scolded the lesser beasts for eavesdropping.

"Your task is to buy as much time as possible for Xiaobai," Lin Chen said. "We have no chance in a beast battle. Even if you two team up, Little Fox and Chicken, we probably still won't win."

"Coo~~" the red-haired pheasant crowed, meaning:

Wouldn't it be even more difficult to deal with if the three beast kings joined forces?

“That’s our advantage,” Lin Chen explained. “These three beast kings are here to guard the spirit egg. They haven’t worked together before, but we have been trained and we have Bai Ling and I’m able to coordinate with each other. We have a huge advantage in terms of teamwork.”

Bai Ling and the four spirit beasts all nodded. The unicorn next to them lay on the head of the great white bear, while the two spirit beasts were completely outsiders.

The unicorn is alright; it's always been lazy, and it's a non-combatant anyway.

The great white bear felt extremely guilty. If it were level 30 or higher at this moment, it would have been able to help Lin Chen and the others.

After discussing for about 10 minutes, Lin Chen and the others turned around, and the three beast kings had also reached an agreement.

Of course, the Hundred-Eyed Beast was among those who went into battle. Looking at the other two spirit beasts, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown.

These beast kings even have tactics: two melee fighters and one ranged fighter.

Besides the Hundred-Eyed Beast, the other melee beast king is the Dark Fang Beast, and the remaining ranged spirit beast is the Cloud Rainbow Beast.

The three beast kings standing there gave Lin Chen a tremendous sense of oppression.

If the opponent were three melee spirit beasts, Lin Chen would find it easier.

Because of the chaotic battles between these spirit beasts, if the coordination is not good, friendly forces may be accidentally injured.

Clearly, a configuration of two near and one far is the best.

"Let's begin then," Lin Chen said.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King was very cautious and instructed Lin Chen and the others to avoid the battleground at the volcano's edge. So they moved the battlefield to the mountainside and found a large open space.

Then, the three-headed beast king went into battle, and instantly countless small beasts cheered.

In contrast, when Xiaobai and the others appeared, apart from Lin Chen, Bai Ling, and the polar bear shouting, the lazy unicorn even gave a perfunctory shout.

Sensing the difference in the volume of their shouts, Lin Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Besides their superior strength, they also seem to have the home advantage.

Once both sides were in position, Xiaobai and the others immediately entered their evolved forms. Xiaobai and the Devouring Beast stood in front, while the little fox and the Red Velvet Chicken stood behind them.

The Beast Kings were positioned the same way, with the Hundred-Eyed Beast King and the Dark Fang Beast King facing off against Little White and Devouring Beast respectively. As for the Cloud Rainbow Beast King, it summoned a cloud and sat on a low cloud.

The two sides exchanged only a glance before a fierce battle was about to break out.

First, Xiaobai launched the attack, because Lin Chen's tactical arrangement was very clear, with Xiaobai as the core.

If it can take down a Beastmaster quickly, then the rest will be much easier.

It faced the Hundred-Eyed Beast King, which resembled a large feline in size, with deep dark purple fur and irregular silver stripes that looked like cracks in the starry sky.

It emitted a faint, unsettling glow.

Normally, only five main eyes are visible on the body surface: a normal eye, a vertical pupil (main eye) on the forehead, and a larger horizontal pupil on each shoulder.

The other five eyes were hidden beneath the fur like closed scars.

This kind of spirit beast has very strong combat ability, but it is very rare on Earth because its reproductive ability is very low.

The moment Xiaobai unleashed its fourth-tier Savage Bloodline, turning its entire beast body red, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King's pupils constricted slightly.

Between beasts, strength is judged entirely by their aura.

Even after Xiaobai transformed, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King did not treat Xiaobai any differently.

It wasn't until Xiaobai used his Savage Bloodline that the Hundred-Eyed Beast King understood how Lin Chen and the others had gotten here.

"Iron Horn Impact!"

In this chaotic battle, Lin Chen naturally joined in to take control of the situation. As Xiao Bai ran forward, he left several afterimages behind him.

Lin Chen had a tactical plan, which was to exploit the information gap.

The Hundred-Eyed Beast King is unaware of Little White's moves, which is its advantage.

As Xiaobai's speed increased, it suddenly stopped midway, raising its hooves sharply – the Soul-Suppressing Hoof: Void Spirit.

Xiao Bai naturally understood Lin Chen's meaning. He first feigned weakness with the Iron Horn Impact, and then suddenly used the Soul-Suppressing Hoof - Void Spirit midway through.

If you can successfully hit your opponent, that's a fantastic opportunity to take them down.

The Soul-Suppressing Hoof, a phantom spirit, charged forward, about to strike the Hundred-Eyed Beast King. Little White was also preparing to upgrade Iron Horn Impact to Thousand Shadows Return to One.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King seemed to have activated automatic dodging.

It moved directly to the right, as if it had anticipated the direction the ethereal spirit would take.

Lin Chen sensed that the situation was not good and immediately told Xiao Bai to stop.

The man and the beast looked nervously toward the Hundred-Eyed Beast King. They saw that one of the Hundred-Eyed Beast King's eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened and emitted a strange light.

[Main Eye: The Eye of Insight]

This eye can see through the flow of energy, greatly enhancing dynamic vision and predictive ability.

Xiao Bai knew that the next attack was ineffective, so he immediately stopped all his movements.

In that instant, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King reacted. The horizontal pupil on its left shoulder slowly opened, and unlike its golden main eye, this left eye emitted an eerie green light.

As its left eye opened, the Hundred-Eyed Beast King was enveloped in a dense green light, which surged like a tangible substance and emitted a soft "sizzling" sound.

Immediately afterwards, it stomped its four limbs on the ground, causing the ground to crack instantly. The Hundred-Eyed Beast King leaped towards Lin Chen and Xiao Bai like a green cannonball.

[Left Eye: The Eye of Awakening]

When this eye opened, the previously faint power fluctuations on the Hundred-Eyed Beast King instantly became surging and powerful.

Its body surface flashed with a frantic green light, as if countless electric currents were intertwining.

Immediately afterwards, like a burning green bomb, carrying scorching air currents and powerful impact, it rushed swiftly towards the location where Xiaobai was.

The speed was so great that the airflow it created whistled through the air.

But this speed is nothing for a novice.

Little White moved nimbly, preparing to respond.

But at that very moment, Xiaobai's keen senses detected that danger was approaching from behind.

Its fur stood on end instantly, its ears perked up, and it turned its head sharply.

Then a huge, dark beast appeared out of nowhere. It was enormous and exuded a chilling aura.

Its fangs were sharp and long, gleaming with a chilling light, and it had already appeared behind Little White, ready to launch a fatal attack.

Looking closer, the Hundred-Eyed Beast's fifth eye had already opened:

[Right Eye: Nightmare Eye]
