Destiny Beast Taming

Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling's exploration of the Horned Demon's Secret Realm has been going very smoothly so far, and the two have already reached a preliminary understanding in battle.

When encountering a few lone horned demons, Hong Ji will directly use the slender bone sword she conjured to pierce the horned demon's vulnerable eyes.

After the bone swords pierced the horned demon's head, Hong Ji didn't need to do anything. The bone swords would change shape inside the horned demon's brain and kill it instantly.

Although these bone swords have separated from Benihime's body, they are still considered part of her body because they were materials absorbed by her.

For a brief period of ten seconds or so, Benihime was still able to control the materials that had detached from her body.

This represents the development of Benihime's abilities as she refines her skills in battle.

When encountering a horned demon horn consisting of dozens of horned demons, Hong Ji will take the lead in the attack, while Zhong Ling will command nineteen Shattered Blade Butterflies to cooperate with Hong Ji in launching the attack.

Whenever facing a horned demon horde, Zhong Yi would decisively summon the Order Beast to revive the Celestial Lord.

They showed no regard for the Resurrected Celestial as a noble healing-type Order Beast, and commanded the Resurrected Celestial to unleash the Resurrection and Enlightenment skills one after another as if they were free.

With the blessing of resurrection, Benihime and the nineteen Shattered Blade Butterflies can recover from injuries sustained in battle by consuming their own energy.

Otherwise, during the battle with the horned demon horde, let alone the fact that these nineteen Blade-Shattering Butterflies would be easily killed by the horned demons after using their skills to dispel their blades.

Even Hong Ji would find it difficult to persevere!

After a full day of intense fighting, both Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling improved in terms of strength and temperament.

With the deaths of many horned demons, the strength of Hong Ji and the nineteen Shattered Blade Butterflies all increased to the tenth level of mortal beasts.

A horned demon horde is usually led by a larger horned demon, which is the elite unit in the horned demon horde.

Killing these elite units allowed Zhong Yi to gain a total of thirty to forty energy cores.

After obtaining these energy cores, Zhong Yi directly fed them to his natal beast, Su Sheng Tian Zhu.

This allowed the Lord of Resurrection to level up, reaching level ten of the Mortal Beast realm without killing any Horned Demons.

Zhong Yi gave the remaining energy cores to Zhong Ling, and Zhong Ling's natal beast, the Death Whisper Butterfly, also received a level increase.

However, compared to the improvement in strength, the biggest improvement was in Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling's character.

Along the way, Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling witnessed firsthand the wickedness of human nature in dangerous environments.

Some adventurers, when being chased by horned demons, will deliberately lure the demons towards other adventurers in order to escape.

In order to ensure that other adventurers could hold back the Horned Demon, he even commanded his beast tamers to attack other adventurers.

Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling had encountered such a situation before. For adventurers who wanted to use themselves as shields, Hong Ji would excitedly kill them without Zhong Yi having to say a word.

Although killing humans and horned demons both involve taking lives, the psychological pressure they cause is completely different.

Originally, Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling needed some time to adjust to this feeling, but because they were holding a pot of bronze-quality ice flowers...

Even without the horned demons pursuing them, many adventurers and even adventurer teams still had designs on Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling.

Encountering such situations repeatedly allowed Zhongyi and Zhongling to mature rapidly.

Even when facing the attacking adventurers, Zhong Ling would decisively command the Shattered Blade Butterfly to engage in battle.

Although the unregulated environment of the secret realm will maximize the incitement of evil thoughts in people's hearts.

However, when faced with adventurers who wanted to seize the Ice Spirit Flower from the two, there were still adventurer teams who would chivalrously step in and help them without asking for anything in return.

Overall, the two encountered more kindness than malice.

Although these acts of kindness were not helpful to Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling, they prevented them from viewing all the adventurers they encountered in the secret realm as enemies.

Fortunately, most adventurers enter the Horned Demon Realm not simply to hunt Horned Demons, but more to find resource points and exploit the resources within.

This led most adventurers to avoid the horned demon horde, while Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling did the exact opposite, following the trails to chase after the moving horned demon horde.

During their search for the Horned Demon horde, the two encountered several groups that nearly perished due to encounters with the horned demon horde, including a new recruit team from the Thorn Guild.

Zhong Yihui directed Hong Ji to clear out the horned demon horde and rescue the distressed adventurer team.

In just one day, the pair of Zhong Yi and Zhong Ling became the biggest topic of conversation in the Horned Demon Realm.

The two's message was taken outside the secret realm as the adventurers left.

......

"Old Liu, I'm not bragging, but those two don't even look as old as my son and daughter."

"The two of them commanded a humanoid beast that was even more bizarre than the Bizarre Beast and a dozen or so Shattered Blade Butterflies, and rescued me and Old Xu from the horned demon horde."

"Old Xu's kneecap was pierced by the horned demon's horn, and half of his foot was bitten off. Guess what happened?"

"That boy summoned a healing beast, which instantly healed Old Xu's injuries!"

"Not only did the punctured knee heal, but half of the foot also grew back."

"It's just a pity that Old Xu's shield-armored bull was eaten by the horned demon and only half of its body is left. I'm afraid Old Xu won't be able to team up with me to explore the secret realm anymore."

Just as the person next to him was about to speak, he saw that the entrance to the secret realm was heavily guarded by the Star Army, and two figures stood prominently in front of the entrance.

An elderly man wearing frameless glasses was standing next to the two of them.

The adventurers who emerged from the Horned Demon Realm did not recognize the two people standing in front of them, but the old man surprised them greatly.

Why would the guild leader of the Beastmaster Guild grace a small, level-one secret realm with his presence?!

Could it be that the Horned Demon Realm is about to erupt in chaos?

That's impossible. If the secret realm was about to erupt, it's impossible that we wouldn't have sensed it when we were exploring it.

Even if a level one secret realm were to riot, the Starlight Army squads assigned to routine patrols there would be able to handle it.

Why would it be necessary for the president of the Beast Tamer Guild to come here?

Just as the group was about to step forward to pay their respects, a woman with short, crimson hair, who looked to be no more than 20 years old and had extremely delicate features, anxiously stepped forward.

"I am the head of the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts, and I hope you can cooperate with me to understand what is happening in the secret realm."

Lin Zhuo was never one to remain calm in the face of adversity, and at this moment, he was completely frantic.

For an entire day, the little guy who had just awakened as a chosen one still hadn't come out of the Horned Demon Secret Realm.

During the day he waited at the entrance, Lin Zhuo had heard countless stories of adventurers dying in the secret realm.

If it weren't for the strength restrictions for entering the Level 1 Secret Realm, Lin Zhuo would have already been eager to go in and find someone the moment he arrived.
