Lord of the Magical Beasts

The Purple Rat Monster had already been heavily injured by the combined attacks of the Corpse Wizard King, Flying Dragon King and Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King. Coupled with Yang Ling’s restrictions and the battering it received from the multiple illusory bodies, the outcome of the battle was clear.

After the Purple Rat Monster had thoroughly exhausted its Magical Energy and was so tired that it could not open its eyes, Yang Ling easily tamed it. Through its memories, Yang Ling got to understand a few secrets that not many people knew of.

As it turned out, the Purple Rat Monster was a Chilly Ice Rat, rarely seen in the continent. It fed on various mineral ores. It had been swept to the Dark Sand Island by a tempest during the Land-Sea War and unintentionally discovered the underground mine, discovering a large amount of premium Dark Sand Ores. However, it had not managed to enjoy itself when a few uninvited guests came into the mine, surrounding the Magical Spell Formation at the center of the mine.

Originally, the air in the mine had been very fresh. However, after the many priests wielding magical staffs did something, the Magical Spell Formation started to release waves of weird energy ripples. A few days later, the priests invited over a large group of their tribesmen that were of varying ages. It looks like they were going to teleport out through the Magical Spell Formation.

In its curiosity, the purple rat had approached the Magical Spell Formation for a closer observation. Unexpectedly, it carelessly got discovered by a few of the cautious priests. The other party felt as though it was a great enemy, sending forward a few warriors and priests to launch a strong offensive.

After a chaotic battle, the purple rat managed to turn the other party’s tribesmen into ice sculptures and severely injure the members who attacked it. However, it had also been hit by the dying counter attack of the other party, and was sealed within the Magical Spell Formation. It was only after the Corpse Wizard King had unintentionally touched the Magical Spell Formation that it managed to escape.

That’s weird, to think that the Teleportation Formation had a sealing effect. Just what is this Magical Spell Formation?

Originally, Yang Ling had thought that he would be able to discover the secret to this underwater mine after obtaining the memories of the purple rat. He did not expect that more questions would arise.

According to the historical records of the female leader Margaret’s tribe, her tribesmen had only dove into the underwater mine during the Land-Sea War to seek refuge. However, it now seems like their actions were not as simple as seeking refuge. Just like the Heavenly Fox Tribe, it seems like they were prepared to leave the Tailun Continent through the Teleportation Formation.

The Magical Spell Formation in the Taildon Valley released a large amount of white fog, trapping the terrifying Spider Monster within the divine temple for thousands of years; The Magical Spell Formation here was even stronger, not only able to release fatal Corpse Poison, but also seal such a powerful Magical Beast!

The Magical Spell Formation before Yang Ling gave him a sense of familiarity. Now that he thought about it, both the images on the ground or the streaks of obscure energy ripples had a similar function to the Magical Spell Formation he found in the Taildon Valley. If his guess was correct, the person who built this Magical Spell Formation must be related to the Ancient Wizards he was looking for!

An ancient underwater mine, strange statues made from Dark Sand, mysterious Magical Spell Formation, a faraway Land-Sea War…

Just what was the secret behind all of these?

After walking around the plaza with the Corpse Wizard King for some time and not finding any useful clues, Yang Ling shook his head. Before this, the Corpse Wizard King had unintentionally activated the Magical Spell Formation. However, now that they were about to purposefully activate the formation, they could not succeed no matter how hard they tried. Just like the Teleportation Formation in the Taildon Valley, it seems as though this formation had not been maintained for a long time and had lost its intended effect.

Chitter…

Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King was full of doubt, but the purple rat that was about the same size as an average rat was incredibly excited, wolfing down the rare Dark Sand Ores. The sturdy Dark Sand Ores were like crispy peanuts in front of the sharp teeth of the rat. The wolf-sized stone sculpture got consumed by the rat in the blink of an eye.

After eating its fill, the little creature jumped around together with the Thousand-faced Mink, even shaking around while perched on Yang Ling’s shoulder, chittering loudly. One looked like Mickey Mouse, and the other like a little rabbit. They chased after each other like a cat would chase a rat, making the surroundings incredibly noisy.

“Cry more, cry more and I’ll roast the both of you up and pair you with wine!”

After the purple rat defecated on his head and having a strand of his beard torn off by the Thousand-faced Mink, the Corpse Wizard King who was seizing the time to meditate erupted in fury, shouting as he chased the two creatures around.

The Corpse Poison released by the Magical Spell Formation was extremely powerful. An ordinary person would not dare touch it, as it would harm them for generations to come if they breathed it in. However, to the Corpse Wizard King who used Undead Spells, it was an elixir that was hard to come by. If he trained in a place like this for a long period of time, he would definitely be able to speed up the recovery of his abilities several times.

“These two mischievous creatures!” Yang Ling laughed as he saw the Corpse Wizard King erupting in fury after being pranked, “Forget it, let’s call one Little Ice and the other Little Mink in the future!”

The purple rat Little Ice was hailed as the Ice-sealing Evil Demon by Margaret and her tribesmen, able to freeze a group of people with a breath of frost. Even though its offensive capabilities were not as strong as that of the Dark Dragon King, it was definitely a frontrunner amongst the high-level Magical Beasts. With the help of his Ice-sealing Domain, its alarming speed and powerful ice element magic could be used to the extreme, making it one of Yang Ling’s powerful allies.

The Thousand-faced Mink was extremely fast, and even though its offensive and defensive capabilities were not strong, it had a unique ability. It was already this powerful even as a level nine Magical Beast. If it evolved to become a Level Surpassing Magical Beast and could conjure thousands of Dark Dragons, Yang Ling might not have to do anything to scare his enemies off.

The vast sea had no end in sight, with countless numbers of high-level Magical Beasts. If he managed to tame a large group of high-level oceanic Magical Beasts, would he have to fear the pirates and Sea Tribe?

Looking at the purple rat and Thousand-faced Mink chasing each other around, thinking about the giant pythons and Horned Eagles he had just tamed, Yang Ling further solidified the general direction of his plans. After this, he could definitely exterminate the pirates and hand the task of charting naval paths over to Ashnamov; He would be able to freely explore the foreign islands and search for the relics of the Ancient Wizards, as well as opportunities to tame more Magical Beasts.

The world was his oyster!

Looking at the Flying Dragon King Seylius and the Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King by his side, he was filled with hope for his journey at sea. However, just as he was about to further plan the next course of action, a commotion came from outside. Heading out to have a look, the female leader Margaret and the rest of the pirates were rushing toward him.

“Sir, are you alright!” The female leader heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Ling walk out unscathed.

Even though her scalp would still crawl when she thought about the horde of Eight-clawed Octopuses, even though she did not know what other monsters were lurking deep within the mine, she could not hold it in any longer when she saw that Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King had not come out despite the long time that had past. She thus led the pirates in cautiously walking in.

“The situation is very serious; The interior is filled with a lethal poison!” Looking at the pirates who were looking around curiously, yet afraid to step into the plaza, Yang Ling put on a grim expression and said slowly, “Luckily, I have with me a few antidotes, otherwise, the outcome would be disastrous!”

Both the statues of Dark Sand and mysterious Magical Spell Formation in the plaza hid many secrets that he was still unclear of. If he allowed this bunch of pirates to enter, information of this place might spread like wildfire in the blink of an eye. Thus, Yang Ling decided to intentionally exaggerate the level of danger, scaring these cautious pirates.

Poison?

Because of the restriction, the group of pirates could not see what was happening within the plaza. Hearing Yang Ling say that it was filled with a lethal poison, smelling the strange scent in the air, all of the pirates took a few steps back in fear.

There were many rumors surrounding the underwater mine on the Dark Sand Island. Some said that there were several monsters and a terrifying Evil Demon inside, while others claimed that a large number of corpses were buried there, and that there were the undying souls of the sea roaming around…

Originally, some of the braver pirates were suspicious that the legends were in fact rumors. However, after personally witnessing the horde of Eight-clawed Octopuses, as well as seeing the large number of Long-haired Evil Demon corpses along the way, they realized that the legends were not just unfounded rumors.

After instructing the pirates to stay outside and not barge in no matter what, Yang Ling got the female leader to consume a few antidotes of the Corpse Poison that Alice had made, then led her into the plaza. The next step of the plan had all to do with this female pirate. Before getting her to pledge her loyalty, Yang Ling decided to entice her with a few rewards.

Perhaps it was because she was nervous or worried, the female leader wielded both her blades, following tightly behind Yang Ling, looking around. She did not expect Yang Ling to suddenly stop and turn around while she was taking a big step forward. She could not stop in that instant, her entire body leaning into his embrace.

In that instant, Yang Ling felt a wave of fragrance, a pair of supple breasts pressed tightly on his chest. Looking down, he saw the female leader’s blushing face and her flustered, shy gaze. He could not help but place his hands around her slender waist, gently kissing her sexy red lips.

“En… Sir, I…” After softly freeing herself from Yang Ling’s embrace, Margaret blushed as she saw the Corpse Wizard King quickly approaching.

She was authoritative in front of the pirates, none of them daring to defy her. But for some reason, her heart would slip into a fluster whenever she saw Yang Ling.

“Hehehe, continue, you guys can continue, I didn’t see anything!”

Looking at Margaret’s blushing face and shy gaze, the Corpse Wizard King let out a loud cackle, speaking as he turned to go. He sat beside the Magical Spell Formation and meditated, putting all his effort in absorbing the thick black vapor, seizing the time to recover his abilities.

“Margaret, the Ice-sealing Evil Demon has been eliminated by us!” Looking at the pointed face of the female leader, then looking at the Corpse Wizard King that felt like a third wheel, Yang Ling quickly changed the topic, “We found a large bunch of ice statues inside, let’s go, let’s see if they are your tribesmen!”

“What, you guys… You guys already killed the Ice-sealing Evil Demon?” Margaret shouted in her surprise.

Originally, seeing that there were no injuries on the bodies of Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King, seeing that there were no traces of blood in the plaza, she had thought that the Ice-sealing Evil Demon was trapped within the Magical Spell Formation and was thus worried. She did not expect that not only would the fabled terrifying Ice-sealing Evil Demon to have freed itself from its restraints, but it was also killed by Yang Ling and the Corpse Demon King without shedding any blood!

Just how strong were they, for them to be able to kill the terrifying Ice-sealing Evil Demon this easily?

Margaret followed behind Yang Ling in disbelief. She could not imagine just how terrifying the abilities of Yang Ling and the Corpse Wizard King were!
