Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 299 Demonic Beast Conspiracy
Lin Chen traveled almost day and night, and the two of them were now at the foot of Liucheng, not far from the Spirit Academy.

When Lin Chen mentioned Liucheng, he thought of Xu Feng, the fat tomb raider. Ever since he took that ancient book, there had been no news of him, and he wondered how the search was going.

This Liucheng is his hometown.

Lin Chen naturally didn't know where Xu Feng's home was, but he did remember that Liucheng had long been out of human control because it had been occupied by the demon race and used as a restricted area.

"You want to go in and take a look?" Qin Shaoshao saw through Lin Chen's thoughts.

Lin Chen did not deny it, saying, "I won't go in, I'll just look around from the outside."

Qin Shao Shao possesses powerful mental strength, which allows him to shield himself from the surrounding aura. Even if there are demon kings in this forbidden zone, they should not be able to sense their presence.

Even if he sensed it, Qin Shao Shao would protect him and help him leave, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

With an idea in mind, the two set off from the hill behind the town, gradually approaching the edge of Liucheng.

From afar, one could see that the houses in Liucheng had long been demolished by the demon race. The demon beasts were large and did not like to live in houses, so this was within Lin Chen's expectations.

What surprised Lin Chen was that several hill-like structures had appeared in the center of Liucheng.

"Why does he look so familiar?"

Looking down from a distance, Lin Chen had a sense of déjà vu.

But I can't remember it right now.

The hills of Liucheng looked messy and disorderly, and remained silent.

At this moment, Qin Shaoshao said, "In the demon race, this should be called an altar."

"altar?!"

Lin Chen was taken aback.

"After a demon dies, its soul and body return to heaven, so its altars are often naturally exposed," Qin Shaoshao said.

"That's even stranger," Lin Chen said. "Could this place have been specifically built as a mass burial ground?"

Although Lin Chen felt puzzled, he ultimately found no clues and had to leave. However, he silently memorized the locations of these hills.

After leaving Liucheng, they continued their journey towards Lingyuan, only to find the road blocked halfway through.

Tap tap tap~~~
Lin Chen and Qin Shaoshao lay on the rocks on the mountain, watching the billowing dust ahead, which was the dust kicked up by the demon race as they traveled.

"Where are the demons preparing to attack?" Lin Chen wondered. Then he saw the demon king leading the group, who was none other than the Dragon Scorpion King.

Generally speaking, demon kings rarely make a move, especially those of the Dragon Scorpion King's level.

During the battle in the South City, the Undying Phoenix made very few moves.

After all, no king would make a move lightly in the early stages of a war.

unless
They determined their ultimate goal.

"Spiritual Academy!"

Lin Chen quickly realized something.

But then I thought about it and realized that something was wrong. The Spirit Academy had already called on its former students to return, so the Spirit Academy should be strong and well-equipped now, with the Tree Ancestor in charge. The demon race should not dare to make any rash moves.

"Could it be that the demon race is going to fight to the death?"

After pondering for a while, Lin Chen decided to observe it again.

They searched along the path the monster had taken, but still couldn't figure it out.

"The Spirit Academy is backed by the Spirit Mountain, and the rear is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Lin Chen recalled that he had climbed to the top of the Spirit Mountain before. If he wanted to break into the Spirit Academy from the rear, he would have to cross the huge mountain.

"The Dragon Scorpion King would never do that."

Upon further observation, Lin Chen soon discovered something suspicious: these demonic beasts were all very cautious when they went out.

This doesn't fit the characteristics of the demon race when they travel, because most demons are short-tempered and they almost shout when they walk.

"Could this be a feint?" Lin Chen immediately had a guess.

It's not that he's a diviner, but rather that both of these behavioral characteristics of the demon race are on the surface; they intend to launch a sneak attack on the Spirit Academy.

For the sneak attack to succeed, the Spirit Academy army must not be here.

"broken."

Lin Chen clenched his fist and said to Qin Shaoshao, "We need to figure out our purpose as soon as possible." They followed the path the demon race had taken, but they went further and further away.

Lin Chen looked worriedly in the direction of the Spirit Academy and said, "It's too late. We need to split into two groups."

Qin Shaoshao immediately said, "I'll go support the Spirit Academy. You go and see if you can find the main force."

"No, I'm going to support the Spirit Academy," Lin Chen refused.

"you?"

Qin Shao Shao was taken aback.

Lin Chen also told Qin Shaoshao about the Dragon Transformation Technique. Qin Shaoshao didn't say much after hearing it, but looked at Lin Chen with suspicion.

"Would I lie to you? I'm terrified of dying," Lin Chen said.

"Alright." Before leaving, Qin Shaoshao handed the Soul-Devouring Vine to him and said, "Wait for me."

After saying that, Qin Shaoshao left.

Lin Chen looked around with the Soul-Devouring Vine and said, "This way."

In a place called Jun County, the Grand Elder was leading a group of people to lie in wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump.

According to reliable information, this is where the monsters gather.

"Those wounded demons are still there; we just found out," an elder reported.

The Grand Elder was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Even if they can't resolve the chaos in the central region in one go, being able to eliminate a few powerful demons would still be a good thing for them.

"Shall we make our move now?" the elder asked.

The Grand Elder nodded, then waved his hand, and all the beast tamers behind him summoned their spirit beasts, instantly launching an attack on Jun County.

Sure enough, when the battle began, the Grand Elder saw the wounded demon beasts.

However, one of the elders soon noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" the elder asked.

“I didn’t injure this great demon this badly before,” the elder said.

The elder was taken aback, but quickly realized something was wrong.

However, the students of the Spirit Academy were fierce. Several students who had graduated decades ago unleashed their spirit beasts and directly killed the injured great demon.

At the same time, they successfully captured Jun County.

Just then, a clear and melodious zither tune drifted from the sky.

The pause lasted less than a second before another blare sounded, followed by a continuous barrage.

"broken!"

The Grand Elder realized that they had fallen into a trap.

But it was too late to say anything then; all they could see was the surrounding trees growing wildly, covering them in an instant.

The elder quickly shouted, "This is an illusion, everyone, don't be afraid, meditate carefully."

The Grand Elder knew very well that this kind of mental illusion that could trap such a huge number of people inside was not very lethal.

But why would they do that?

"Spiritual Academy!"

The elder quickly realized what was happening.

This is a feint, using those powerful demons as bait to lure the enemy away from their mountain stronghold.

The injuries to these powerful demons must have been inflicted by the Dragon Scorpion King, rendering them immobile and waiting for them to take the bait.

The elder was anxious, but at this moment he was somewhat helpless.

He could see through the illusion, but he couldn't break it at all.

Because this monster's level is at least level 90 or higher.
