Eternal Beast Taming Family

Only when they were far enough away from the battlefield, leaning against the trunk of a giant tree, did Chu Jingyu and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" stop to rest.

From the brocade pouch in his bosom, Chu Jingyu took out two Source Stones. He threw one into the mouth of the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast," and held the other in his hand, quickly absorbing its energy.

Chu Jingyu sighed inwardly. This outer realm was indeed dangerous; a slight misstep could lead to an attack.

However, the overall situation was much better than he had expected, because the number of source beasts was far less than he had anticipated.

Moreover, since entering the dense forest, he hasn't encountered a single mortal-level source beast, which seems a bit strange.

For some inexplicable reason, Chu Jingyu felt a sense of unease. Could something "big" be about to happen in this dense forest?

After resting for a while, Chu Jingyu once again had the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" explore the surrounding environment.

Thanks to the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast's" excellent perception of the earth's veins, they managed to bypass some terrifying source beasts in the dense forest and collect a considerable amount of mortal-grade spiritual materials.

Chu Jingyu preserved the roots of most of them, hoping to take them back and have even the slightest chance of them surviving.

After all, the family has two source beasts, both of which have the skill to promote the growth of spiritual materials. If they can successfully cultivate them, it will be a long-term and sustainable source of income for the family.

Before we knew it, the sky had gradually darkened.

The 'sun' with its long, red ribbons descended, replaced by a 'full moon' encircled by a ring.

Although Chu Jingyu's physical attributes and eyesight have been greatly improved as a mid-level contract master, he is still not very suitable for moving around in the dark with low light.

Furthermore, outside this realm, the source beasts active in the night are even more troublesome than those in the daytime.

Chu Jingyu and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" chose a relatively open spot where they could see the full moon in the sky through the gaps in the branches.

Compared to other places, the lighting here is noticeably better.

The "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" plunged its pincers into the ground, and after a moment, a huge crater three meters square appeared in front of it. As its energy was consumed, the depth of the crater continued to increase.

When the pit reached a depth of about ten meters, Chu Jingyu and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" jumped into the giant pit together.

Then the soil at the edge of the pit began to recombine, and in just a moment, the ground returned to normal, and the pit could no longer be detected.

The pit, measuring three meters square, had enough space to accommodate Chu Jingyu and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" with plenty of room to spare.

The "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" had its eyes closed, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep. Chu Jingyu placed his hands on its shell, and then the same golden light emanated from both of them. Now their auras merged as if they were one.

This is a fairly obvious difference between a different-tier contract master and a mortal-tier contract master.

The obvious difference between a mortal-level contract master and an ordinary person is that all physical attributes are enhanced, and they can also issue commands to their source beasts through mental connection.

The difference between a higher-level contract master and a lower-level contract master is that a higher-level contract master can establish a deeper spiritual connection with their source beast and can empathize with their source beast when no one interferes.

At this time, the source beast and the contract master can exchange energy. The one with the higher realm will slowly give back to the one with the lower realm, so that the realms of the two will gradually approach each other.

Furthermore, because it is a fusion of the two auras, some non-combat skills that are not intense can also be detected at the same time.

Sometimes, because the source beast receives a boost from the contractor's mental power, some of its skills are positively enhanced.

Chu Jingyu and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" are currently in this state of empathy.

An invisible ripple slowly spread across the ground, and a magical sensation appeared in Chu Jingyu's mind, as if a three-dimensional picture flashed before his eyes.

Chu Jingyu knew that this was information fed back from the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast's" "Heart of the Ground".

In the scene, above the deep pit the two are digging, a giant bear with rocks embedded in its front and back is lying down. The faint moonlight falls on its body, turning into a layer of faint fluorescent particles that merge into its body.

Rock Bears are known for their immense strength and thick hides. When they reach adulthood, they can generally reach the mid-level of the Otherworldly Rank, with some exceptional individuals reaching the high-level of the Otherworldly Rank. They are considered a very troublesome source beast.

Naturally, information about this source beast surfaced in Chu Jingyu's mind.

Seven hundred meters to the northwest, a giant tree with many aerial roots hanging down, standing out from the broad-leaved giant trees next to it, appeared in my mind.

Its aerial roots dangled from the tree branches, constantly weaving through the forest. Before long, it would bring back the corpses of several source beasts. Then, the flesh and blood were slowly absorbed by the aerial roots. In just over ten minutes, a source beast that looked like a deer was sucked down to only a layer of deer skin.

Chu Jingyu had never seen this source beast before and knew nothing about it, but he did know about the fawn that it had slaughtered.

The forest deer is famous for its antlers, which resemble the branches of a green tree. This species can promote the growth of plants and has an excellent jumping ability, which is also the ability it relies on to survive outside the natural world.

However, it has poor combat ability and can only serve as prey here. Although contract masters with the means would not choose to contract it, its flesh is very popular among contract masters and is a great tonic for them.

Sighing inwardly at the poor "Forest Deer," Chu Jingyu then turned his attention to the rest of the feedback he had received.

About one kilometer to the northeast, a magical flower with seven-colored petals quietly blooms in a crevice in the rock.

About three kilometers to the southeast, there is a stream where fish with a certain ethereal glow quietly absorb the moonlight.

Thirty meters underground in the southwest, a strange stone the size of a millstone seems to breathe, its volume fluctuating between expansion and contraction.

Silently noting down this information, just as Chu Jingyu was about to have the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" retract its skill, they witnessed a shocking scene.

An enormous shower of fiery meteorites fell from the sky.

These fiery meteorites crashed onto the giant tree, instantly snapping its trunk. The moisture on its verdant branches evaporated instantly, and then it burst into flames like torches.

Judging from the appearance, this was a meteor shower of fire that could cover an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles. The lush forest just moments ago was instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire and inferno.

Chu Jingyu vaguely saw a large red bird with a long, fiery tail weaving through the rain of meteorites, emitting a high-pitched cry as if calling for more meteorites to fall.

Furthermore, a considerable amount of meteorite rain fell above the giant crater where Chu Jingyu and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" were located.

The "Rock Bear," which had been lying prone on the ground, sensed the approaching danger and roared at the sky. However, upon seeing the meteor shower that covered the sky as far as the eye could see, its momentum instantly weakened.

It quickly raised its hands above its head, and a boulder larger than itself materialized, but then a meteorite with a fiery tail crashed down.

The boulder couldn't withstand the impact for even a second, instantly shattering into tiny powder. The "Rock Bear," known for its thick hide and tough flesh, was instantly smashed into a pulp, then burned into nothingness by a ball of fire.

Upon witnessing the extremely gruesome death of "Rock Bear," Chu Jingyu's brows twitched violently, and the shadow of death instantly descended upon his heart.

"Damn it, it seems today really isn't a good day to go out."
