Chapter 1300: Chapter 1300: Methods of the Beast Taming Institute

The Firelight Beasts and Zhongshan Wolves, doused with powders by the disciples of the Beast Taming Institute, fell into a final frenzy after a brief struggle. The beasts, with bloodshot eyes, attacked their kind indiscriminately, while some Firelight Beasts collapsed after a violent attack, bleeding from their mouths and noses with a mournful cry.

In the chaos, these maddened beasts inadvertently parted to create a path for the very enemies they were supposed to attack, allowing them to swiftly rush past and dash out of the valley.

"Hmph, they’re just taking advantage of the low-level Spirit Beasts’ lack of intelligence, using drugs to disrupt their minds and trigger their instinctive nature. But these people won’t find it so easy next," Jin He Xuan snorted coldly with disdain, watching as the first two waves of attacks from his side were easily defused by the opponents.

No sooner had he finished speaking than, at his signal, the true highlight of the night made its entrance. Pei Yan felt the ground beneath him starting to tremble violently, more intensely than when the Firelight Rats passed by earlier. As the earth shook, massive stones began to slide downhill, and a gigantic figure burst through the cliff walls, cutting right through the mountain gorge.

"Oh!" Floating mid-air, Pei Yan watched the massive creature cross the gorge, a trace of excitement flashing across his face. The first time he saw such a creature was back on the foundational plane when he was lurking at the Divine Desire Base to rescue his sister, and he still remembered his shocked expression upon seeing the colossal beast back then. However, now the creature only piqued his curiosity, as Pei Yan no longer considered it a threat in terms of strength.

"Heaven-Devouring Python! How can such a thing appear here?" The disciples of the Beast Taming Institute, seeing the giant python blocking their escape route, paled and voiced their despairing question.

Tier Eight! An Asura Dao-level Heaven-Devouring Python! Such a Spirit Beast is already considered a lower-level member of the Dragon Race, and in an era where most Spirit Beasts have migrated to the Daoist Realm of the Spirit Monster Plane, it is one of the extremely rare top-notch Spirit Beasts now appearing here. Normally, the disciples of the Beast Taming Institute would probably be overjoyed, attempting to tame it under the guidance of their masters. However, now caught between a rock and a hard place, they were scared out of their wits, not knowing what to do.

"Don’t stop! Keep moving forward!" Leng Shuyi’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, invigorating the disciples. As they looked up, they saw Elder Qiao charging ahead, waving his hand as a massive figure descended from the sky, shaking the earth before stably landing in front of the Heaven-Devouring Python to face it.

"What is that thing? It looks like a giant crocodile, but why does it have a shell?" Pei Yan asked curiously as he watched the battle in the valley with interest. "It looks like it’s not at the same level as the Heaven-Devouring Python!"

"Hu Lu! That shell is not its own but was taken from killing a Spirit Beast of a similar rank. It can spray venom, and in terms of power and rank, it’s slightly lower than the Heaven-Devouring Python. However, under the control of a Beast Tamer, its combat power will be enhanced, allowing it to put up a fight against the python," Long Jin explained before looking at Jin He Xuan with a smile. "Uncle, this Beast Taming line has truly declined. Compared to the legendary power of the Dragon Breeding Institute, it is far inferior, yet we still prepared so many fallback measures."

"Beast Taming! Beast Taming! Without the Spirit Beasts, the power of this Beast Taming line is naturally greatly diminished. It’s getting late, and we can’t continue to waste time with them like this. Let’s put more pressure on them, make them reveal their true colors, and we won’t have come in vain," Jin He Xuan said, flicking his sleeves, sending two red lights from his sleeves into the valley.

The two red lights tore through the night sky, growing larger as they flew, and by the time they reached over the valley, they had already turned into two gigantic fireballs. The disciples in the valley looked foolishly at the sky, murmuring the name of the one-legged Divine Bird they had only read about in books.

"Bi Fang!"

How is this possible! The Heaven-Devouring Python was surprising enough! Although rare, it’s occasionally found in the Daoist Plane, but Bi Fang is a high-level Divine Beast. Weren’t such Divine Beasts supposed to have migrated to the Spirit Monster Plane? How are there two of them here?

The disciples were shocked and confused, but the elders of the Beast Taming Institute had already understood what was going on the moment the Heaven-Devouring Python appeared. The appearance of Bi Fang further confirmed their suspicions: the Dragon Realm had discovered their sect’s secret! This was an act of vengeance!

But who leaked this information to them? How much do they know? Have they informed others, like the Immortal Palace? How many people have the Dragon Realm sent? On these points, the elders knew nothing. Helplessly, Leng Shuyi had to brace himself, stepping forward to the air to bow respectfully to the two Divine Beasts. "I am Leng Shuyi, the Vegetarian Leader of the Beast Taming Institute, a branch of the White Deer Institute. May I ask if you two seniors hail from the Dragon Realm?"

The two Bi Fang, hearing this, exchanged glances but did not reply. Although they remained silent, anyone could see the look of disdain in the eyes of these two Divine Beasts. With such realms and bloodlines, Tier Nine Celestial Divine Beasts could even transform into human form. The reason they didn’t answer was not that they couldn’t speak, but that they disdained to answer.

Leng Shuyi, naturally understanding this, could only suppress his rage and continue patiently and respectfully, "Why do you two seniors lead the crowd to attack our Daoist Plane sect? Could there be some misunderstanding? Might a villain have caused a rift between us? Although we are a Beast Taming sect, we have never overstepped into your plane capturing Spirit Beasts. Do you not fear instigating a conflict between the two major planes by initiating an unwarranted attack on our sect? The Dragon Realm and Immortal Palace have always been on good terms, I’d hope...."

Hoo!

Before Leng Shuyi could finish his words, one of the Bi Fang, seemingly growing impatient, flapped its wings, sending a giant fireball hurtling towards the disciples of the Beast Taming Institute.

Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone an elder of the institute. Seeing that their words fell on deaf ears, Elder Han, who had arrived after driving away the Profound Bees, could hold back no longer, shouting decisively, "You wicked beast, cease your arrogance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small turtle was tossed out from Elder Han’s sleeve. The turtle expanded in the wind, soon reaching the size of a small house, perfectly intercepting the fireball launched by Bi Fang. The scorching flames collided with the Spirit Turtle’s water vapor, neutralizing each other and creating a large mist. Within the fog, a muffled thud was heard, presumably the sound of the Spirit Turtle being slammed to the ground.

The accusation of "wicked beast" thoroughly enraged the two Bi Fang. The two Divine Beasts took to the skies, with fireballs like a meteor shower raining down on the disciples of the Beast Taming Institute. To protect their disciples, over ten elders of the Beast Taming Institute had no choice but to summon their Spirit Beasts to ward off the attack.

"How rare! We underestimated this Beast Taming Institute! I didn’t expect them to have captured a Ba Xia as a Spirit Beast in such an environment!" Long Jin glanced at the small turtle summoned by Elder Han, speaking in a resentful tone.
