Eternal Beast Taming Family

Without a doubt, Chu Jingyu was the one who burrowed underground. Long before his blood was absorbed by the ice wall, he had already secretly hidden the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" underground.

While the Huo family patriarch was exchanging bodies and the wisp of ink on his head was being retracted into the scroll, Chu Jingyu was taken underground and rushed back towards the inner realm.

The Huo family patriarch closed his eyes in the air, trying to resolve the sudden discord between his spirit and body, and was temporarily unable to focus on controlling the scattered and fleeing contract masters.

However, he was not flustered. Even if they escaped from here, this outer realm was not a place that a mere Spirit Rank or Extra Rank Contract Master could pass through at will.

About fifteen minutes later, the waters behind the broken ice wall suddenly churned, and a large fish leaped out from beneath the surface.

This fish looks strange; although it leaps out of the water, it has wings on both sides of its body, like those of a bird.

It floated in the air, carrying giant waves that bit towards the Huo family patriarch and the ink painting scroll beside him.

Sensing the approaching danger, the ink scroll unfurled once more, from which gushed forth a swirling mass of ink with a textured, multicolored black.

A bizarre-looking giant fish opened its huge mouth wide, spewing out a column of water carrying ice crystals. The ink and the water column carrying ice crystals collided with each other.

The two forces scatter in all directions from the middle, and the enormous impact caused cracks and collapses in the valley walls on both sides, with clods of earth and boulders pressing down on the inner side of the valley walls.

The ink painting carried the Huo family patriarch out of the fallen boulders, followed closely by a large winged fish with its powerful body, seemingly unwilling to let go of its target easily.

The images transmitted by the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" only went this far; the distance between the two was beyond its ability to perceive.

Chu Jingyu took out the last leaf from the "Ginseng Baby," took a small bite, and felt that his strength had recovered considerably before letting the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" carry him through the underground.

Unfortunately, the "White-browed Eagle" suffered from psychological trauma, and the leaves of the "Ginseng Baby" were of little use. Otherwise, it would have been an extra help on the way home after it was cured.

Beyond this boundary, underground is not entirely safe either. Fortunately, the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" is often able to discover the source beasts living underground in advance.

However, there are also some special source beasts, such as the headless, eyeless "Earthworm" in front of us, which has only a mouth and can contain its own aura and the surrounding land when it is silent.

The detection skills of the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" were basically ineffective against them. Although this source beast was at the same level as Chu Jingyu, they couldn't help the fact that they had encountered a whole group of them.

And so, Chu Jingyu began his journey of escape and hunting in the wild.

……

Heyu Town and Qixia Mountain.

A dozen or so wild boars, each two or three meters long, rampaged across the mountain. They were incredibly strong, and their long tusks could easily pierce through a giant tree that would take two people to encircle.

Their aura, so different from that of wild boars, makes it easy to tell that they are source beasts.

Upon receiving the report from the villagers who had gone into the mountains, Jiang Nian, who was sitting in the central hall, frowned slightly. She looked at the "Pink Rock Crystal Python" coiled around her feet.

Yesterday, she had just advanced to the middle level of the mortal realm.

She stood up and said to Granny Liu beside her, "Go and call Xiao Han and Xiao Yuan here."

Before long, both children appeared in the main hall, and Jiang Nian took their hands.

She earnestly told them about the suspected sighting of a Source Beast. In the innocent eyes of the two children, Jiang Nian asked gently yet firmly,

"Are you willing to face these Source Beasts with your mother?"

Chu Shengyuan raised his head and nodded firmly, "I'm willing."

Although Chu Shenghan didn't say anything, she nodded along with her younger brother, her eyes full of determination.

Jiang Nian nodded in satisfaction at their performance, then took their hands, one on each side, and led them towards the door.

Upon reaching the outer courtyard, Jiang Nian called the two remaining guards in the courtyard to join her as they left the Chu family compound together.

It seemed that they didn't need to go into the mountains to search for them, because as soon as they stepped out, they saw more than a dozen wild boars rushing in an orderly fashion toward the medicinal herb field next to the Chu family's residence.

It seems that the abundant energy contained in the medicinal herbs in the herb field attracted them here.

Jiang Nian's eyes narrowed slightly. There were more than a dozen Origin Beasts: two high-ranking mortal beasts, seven mid-ranking mortal beasts, and four low-ranking mortal beasts.

On their side, the two guards were at the high level of the mortal realm, while they and their two children were at the middle level of the mortal realm. In terms of the number of people at the highest level, they were not much different, but they were struggling to cope with those at the lower levels.

"Stop them first, don't let them get close to the medicinal herb field."

Both guards were handpicked by Chu Qinhui. They did not question Jiang Nian's orders, summoned their respective source beasts, and rushed over to block the wild boar and the medicinal field.

The two guardian beasts are a "Azure Wolf" and a "Stone Monster".

The two guardian beasts also have a certain tacit understanding. The "Stone Monster" acts as a tank to block the way in front, or it wrestles with the "Wild Boar Spirit".

The "Azure Wolf" lurked nearby, occasionally darting up to bite the "Wild Boar Demon's" weakest points.

The two guards were not idle either. They hid behind the "stone monster," took out their weapons, and displayed excellent agility by stabbing or slashing at the "wild boar spirit."

However, the "wild boar spirit" is tough and thick-skinned, and the damage from the two guards only had some effect on the lower-ranking "wild boar spirit" cub.

Chu Shengyuan, watching from the side, was eager to try. He stretched out his finger and shouted at the "Aomori Giant Python," which had appeared behind him at some point and was now half a head taller than him, its body slightly raised:

"Sensen, charge! Defeat those wild boars!"

The "Aomori Giant Boa" nodded obediently, then a bloodthirsty glint flashed in its eyes as it writhed its body and joined the battle.

It did not provoke the two largest "wild boar spirits," but instead set its sights on the medium-sized wild boars.

Under the control of the "Aomori Giant Boar," green vines sprouted from the ground and then, with a certain intelligence, stretched across the path of the boar spirit.

As they were tripped and fell to the ground, the green leaf throwing knives that condensed by the ears of the "Aomori Giant Anaconda" were already slicing towards their most vulnerable abdomens.

The sound of a flying knife piercing flesh rang out.

The wild boars that were cut let out sharp, loud cries of pain, which seemed to indicate that the injury was not too fatal for them.

Chu Shengyuan's gaze was burning with fervor. He leaped forward, ready to join the battle, but Jiang Nian swiftly pulled him back.

"Stay here, the source beasts can handle it. You have no combat experience, be careful not to get hurt."

Chu Shengyuan looked up at his mother, then could only helplessly clench his fist in the air to vent his excitement.

The "Pink Rock Crystal Python" coiled around Jiang Nian's feet and the "Phantom Sound Flower Feather Sparrow" spreading its wings beside Chu Shenghan exchanged a glance and sent them over to help.
