Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 69 Cave within a Cave

Snapped!
Huang Xiaotian slammed his fist on the table. A person's emotional outburst can happen in an instant.

The atmosphere was a bit oppressive, but Lin Chen didn't linger or offer any comfort to Huang Xiaotian.

In fact, this is normal.

I've been searching for so many days, and I've looked for everything I needed to.

Many people have given up in their hearts.
Perhaps Huang Xiaotian himself knew that it would be very difficult to find.

Lin Chen arrived at his workplace from yesterday, took out a piece of paper, and began to write and draw.

Qin Shaoshao didn't even need to look to know that he was drawing a map of the secret realm's terrain.

There is always a possibility of success as long as something has not failed.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Chen wrote a note on the drawing:
A premeditated murder in a locked room.

It was late at night, but Lin Chen was still awake. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong were already fast asleep.

Qin Shaoshao sat by the window, looking outside and counting the petals. This time, she seemed worried about disturbing Lin Chen, so she didn't count aloud.

"Assume they premeditatedly launched a beast tide to attack the city."

"Then lure humans in."

"But what is the purpose of doing this?"

Lin Chen couldn't understand it.

If the other party is a clever monster, it will know that actively luring humans is not a good thing.

Unless the other side has absolute confidence that it can wipe out humanity.

But that's impossible too.

Not being a super powerful demon, it has no leverage to negotiate with humans.

Clearly, the monsters in this secret realm are not some unparalleled demons.

Thinking about this, Lin Chen also became worried.

Too many questions remain unanswered.

"Am I overthinking things?" Lin Chen pondered.

He knew that he was definitely not as good as other information-based beast tamers when it came to gathering information, and this place had probably been searched to death by so many information-based beast tamers, so Lin Chen wanted to think from the perspective of a "criminal".

Just like a line from a detective novel Lin Chen had read:
"If you want to catch a criminal, you have to become a criminal first."

"The Bloodlust Beast isn't as intelligent as I thought."

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Lin Chen also decided to take a short break and try a different approach, perhaps finding a new direction.

Just then, a cow's moo suddenly rang out.

Lin Chen looked over and saw Xiao Bai leap up from the ground, gag, and then repeatedly wipe its nose with its hooves.

The little fox next to him shrugged its head, looking down, not daring to look directly at Little White.

It turns out that the little fox's tail was misbehaving while it was sleeping, and it ended up scraping against the cow's nose.

Being so close, even the sandalwood scent couldn't mask the body odor. Xiaobai, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the smell.

Lin Chen gave a wry smile and didn't interfere.

Let the children handle their own affairs.

Little White didn't blame it. It simply lay down. The little fox knew it was in the wrong and tried to run away to sleep, but Little White pulled it back with a hoof and hugged it onto the cow's belly so that its tail wouldn't brush against its nose.

The little fox's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the two young spirit beasts soon fell fast asleep.

Lin Chen had already guessed this would be the outcome, but when Xiao Bai occasionally opened its eyes and glanced at the little fox's tail, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.

"This little white guy"

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, just about to tidy up and get ready for bed, when a flash of inspiration struck him, freezing his smile in place.

"Blood Spirit Grass?!"

Lin Chen remembered something.

Blood Spirit Grass, a low-grade spiritual herb, has hematopoietic function and is mostly used for treatment.

Because it doesn't taste good, it's not the favorite food of herbivorous spirit beasts.

However, there are exceptions. Because the Blood Spirit Grass contains hormones similar to blood, it is a delicious treat in the eyes of blood-eating beasts.

For example, Ye Yun's Blood Hunter Beast.

or.
"Bloodthirsty Beast!"

Lin Chen remembered that Xiao Bai had found a large patch of lush green Blood Spirit Grass at the scene during the day, and finally realized what was wrong.

Blood-sucking beasts love this kind of spiritual herb. If this spiritual herb existed on a large scale in the secret realm, these blood-sucking beasts would have devoured it all long ago. There wouldn't be so many of them here.

The only possibility is...
This secret realm is not a place where the Blood Beasts live at all.

"That's even stranger. They clearly entered this area, and there are signs of large-scale Blood Beast activity around here."

"A lot of evidence points to the fact that the Bloodlust Beast's hideout is right here."

After pondering for several minutes, Lin Chen muttered to himself, "Is that really possible?"

Then, he stood up and said to Qin Shaoshao, "Senior, I'm going out for a bit."

"go to the scene?"

"No, let's go to the library." Lin Chen said, sweating profusely.

He wouldn't go to the crime scene in the middle of the night.

He then said, "Could you please look after my two spirit beasts?"

Qin Shaoshao didn't nod, and turned her head to continue picking flower petals.

Lin Chen left in a hurry.

About four hours later, Huang Xiaotian arrived at the library. After calming down, he continued to look for Lin Chen, only to be told by Qin Shaoshao that Lin Chen had come to the library.

So, Huang Xiaotian came here.

As he entered, he saw Lin Chen taking notes and went up to him expectantly, asking, "Did you discover something?"

This time, Lin Chen did not disappoint him, and said to him, "Find me a history book and see if any battles have taken place at this location."

"it is good."

Huang Xiaotian perked up.

He understood that Lin Chen must have found a new direction.

Although he didn't understand what this had to do with history.

After browsing for another three hours, Huang Xiaotian finally found a record in a book called "Black Mountain City Search Files" that interested Lin Chen.

The book records:

One hundred years ago, two elders from the Beastmaster Guild of Black Mountain City passed through this area and then disappeared.

In addition, both elders are beast tamers of high rank and are leaders of beast tamers.

Among their spirit beasts, there are cattle, namely the Earth-roaring Ox and the Spirit Water Beast.

“It should be him,” Lin Chen said.

Huang Xiao was puzzled.

Lin Chen continued:

"I roughly estimated the size of the secret realm today, and it's about the same size as a commander-level beast tamer. Their levels are all quite high, meeting the minimum requirements for a beast tamer's space to remain after death."

"You suspect that this secret realm is his beast-taming space after his death?"

“Yes.” Lin Chen said with certainty, “That explains everything.”

Huang Xiaotian swallowed hard, looking at Lin Chen expectantly.

"The secret realm you found is not where they actually live. Their living place is under the beast-taming space of another commander-level beast tamer."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaotian immediately stood up and said, "I'll send someone outside to search right away."

"Let me finish," Lin Chen stopped him and said very seriously:

“I suspect that the entrance isn’t outside at all, but inside this secret realm you’ve found.”

"You mean..." Huang Xiaotian looked at Lin Chen in disbelief and said:

"A cave within a cave?!"
