Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 290 Returning to Nancheng
"Gulu~~"

Lin Chen watched the little blue fish drink milk heartily, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

This time, the little blue fish played a very important role. Although the little white fish ran fast, it was still quite different from the little blue fish's speed in the air.

This little blue fish doesn't eat much; it only needs to drink three bottles of milk a day.

And now that it's reached a higher level, it still loves to drink milk, which is a bit strange.

However, during the battle in Nine Star City, it leveled up to level 26, and Little White also leveled up to level 48, which was a good thing.

However, compared to the level 90 Soul Devouring Vine, there is still a huge gap.

"If we can get our hands on the Beast Taming Technique of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, Xiao Bai's strength will definitely improve again." Lin Chen had taken the initiative to trigger the Dragon Transformation Technique this time, so he understood its power.

Lin Chen still remembered that the Tian Shu Pavilion had promised to reward him with a beast-taming technique at the Tianjie Mountain Conference.

However, after the conference ended, this disaster struck the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, and Lin Chen knew that the matter had to be postponed.

With the Spirit Academy behind him, Lin Chen wasn't afraid that the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion would go back on its word.

After seven days of travel, Lin Chen was now very close to Nancheng.

At this point, Lin Chen became more cautious and released Xiao Bai.

Although Xiaobai is not an information-type spirit beast, it is naturally very sensitive to smells.
Most of these monsters don't like to bathe, so they have a strong odor.

Lin Chen used Xiao Bai to avoid one monster pit after another, while also recording his route. Soon he discovered something terrifying.

This monster has truly encircled the southern city.

"I hope this launch site will actually work," Lin Chen thought to himself.

Three more days passed, and Lin Chen finally returned to the South City, but the city gates were already closed.

During the time Lin Chen was away, Nancheng encountered multiple waves of beast tides. The Beast Tamer Guild and various forces in the city made it clear that, for safety reasons, no one and no spirit beast was allowed to enter the city again.

So when Lin Chen was about to arrive at the city gate, someone immediately drove him away.

Lin Chen naturally understood that a soft approach wouldn't work, so he had to resort to a hard one. He glanced at the Soul Devouring Vine, and it immediately entered evolution mode, displaying a level as high as 90.

This startled the general guarding the city, who even went out himself and asked, "How should I address you, Your Excellency?"

"I am Lin Chen, the envoy of Qin Shaoshao of Nine Star City, who possesses the Heavenly Spirit Body. I have come here to discuss important matters." Lin Chen knew that he needed to attract the attention of the higher-ups immediately.

The words "Celestial Spirit Body" were enough to attract their attention.

"Alright, I'll report this to the Beastmaster Guild." The general quickly asked, "Does the envoy wish to rest, or..."

"Just have someone go to the Beast Mirror Courtyard to find me then," Lin Chen said.

"Okay." The general nodded quickly.

Lin Chen didn't waste any time and rushed to the Beast Mirror Courtyard. The guards had already left, so it was quite easy for Lin Chen to get in.

"Who's there?" Chen Yun seemed to hear footsteps, and a cold shout rang out.

It is wartime now, and we should be united against external forces, but this closed city is not at peace.

Although the Beastmaster Guild repeatedly emphasized that no one should cause trouble, some people still disregarded the consequences and committed acts of arson, murder, and looting, and some women were even killed.

Such incidents are not uncommon in the southern part of the city.

Chen Yun is a Catalyst, which is not very useful in wartime, so the Beast Mirror Academy is not a protected place, and Chen Yun is naturally afraid.

“It’s me,” Lin Chen said.

Chen Yun saw Lin Chen at that moment and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you back again?"

After saying that, she looked around nervously and said, "Is this Nine Star City?"

"Rest assured, the calamity of Nine Star City has been resolved."

"That's great!" Chen Yun exclaimed with delight, then asked, "Where's Li Zhen?"

"The president is alright," Lin Chen said. "I came here with a plan."

Lin Chen kept it brief, and Chen Yun immediately understood that Lin Chen wanted to know more about Nancheng in order to align with this plan.

“The city lord of the South City is named Chen Ming. He’s not a stubborn person, but as you said, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Chen Yun said.

Lin Chen was overjoyed.

Nancheng was also very efficient; in just one hour, the Beast Tamer Guild sent someone to invite Lin Chen.

Lin Chen soon met Chen Ming. "I don't know who you are, Venerable One." Chen Ming looked back and was quite disappointed to find Qin Shaoshao was not there.

Lin Chen replied, "Venerable Qin is gathering people from various cities, intending to come and support Nancheng. He will arrive on a chosen day."

Chen Ming was overjoyed upon hearing this.

“However, the Venerable One also has a request for you,” Lin Chen said. “In a few days, refugees from Nine Star City or other cities will arrive, and she hopes that you can open the city gates.”

After thinking about it, Chen Ming finally nodded.

If we could gain the assistance of a master like Qin Shaoshao, it would definitely be worthwhile.

"In addition, Venerable One has another plan." Lin Chen then told him about reactivating the Monster Hunter Guild.

But when this matter was brought up, Chen Ming's expression turned sour.

"What is Lord Chen avoiding?" Lin Chen asked.

"The Monster Hunter Guild was officially disbanded by the Tian Shu Pavilion, so if..." Chen Ming was indeed somewhat hesitant.

His position as city lord is directly under the management of the Tian Shu Pavilion.

"Lord City, what time is it now?" Lin Chen said, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."

"How about we wait a little longer? We've already sent out our request for help, and the reinforcements from Tian Shu Pavilion shouldn't be far off," Chen Ming said.

"City Lord, are you truly ignorant or just pretending?" Lin Chen said, "I have been to the South City before, returned to Nine Star City, and then came back again."

"If Tian Shu Pavilion really sent reinforcements, even if they didn't reach Nancheng, there should have been word of it by now."

"I think you can give up this fantasy."

Chen Ming fell silent.

How could he not understand this principle?

The fact that he got to this position doesn't mean he's stupid.

He said, "Give me a moment to think."

He pondered for a full five minutes before finally looking up at Lin Chen and saying, "I agree with your plan, but regarding the launch station, we still need to find the president of the South City Monster Hunter Guild first."

"However, as far as I know, he is not currently in Nancheng."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's face darkened. He asked, "Is he the only one who knows the location?"

"Not really, it's just that to break the activated formation, we have to ask him first," Chen Ming said.

"Oh no." Lin Chen had a bad feeling.

Then Chen Ming led Lin Chen there and found that the place was indeed empty. However, Chen Ming told him that the launch station was located there, but it was shielded by a special formation.

Chen Ming was decisive and passed on the information. Soon, good news came that someone knew the name of the formation.

Lin Chen quickly asked him to invite the person over, but the person looked troubled and said that he did not know how to break the formation, and only knew that the formation was called the Nine Ascension Formation.

"There's no real danger in the nine battles, but finding an opening is extremely difficult," the man added.

Lin Chen's heart stirred slightly. If he activated the Dragon Transformation Technique now and used the energy of the dragon vein, he could surely break the spell.

However, the Dragon Transformation Technique was only used once, and it was Lin Chen's means of survival. He didn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"Nine battles?"

Lin Chen began to ponder.

During this period, Lin Chen also came into contact with many formations on Blue Star. He found that the formations of this era were similar to many formations before his transmigration, such as the Bagua City built by Zhong Nan and the Eight Extremes Return to One Lock.

What exactly is this Nine-Arrival Formation?

Just as Lin Chen was deep in thought, the little blue fish suddenly jumped down and started paddling around on the open ground. Seeing this, Lin Chen felt strange and asked, "Little Blue, what are you doing?"

"Gulu gulu."

The little blue fish blew a bubble and told Lin Chen that it had seen a huge dead tree here.

"You can see inside?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Chen Ming, standing beside him, looked at the little blue fish with utter astonishment. How could the little blue fish do something that even the Soul Devouring Vine couldn't?
