Lord of the Magical Beasts

Within the Amazon Forest that spanned tens of thousands of miles, a group of people were walking quickly outward. There were warriors wielding giant axes, Spellcasters carrying magical staffs, archers equipped with bows…

Even though all of them looked grimy, their clothes stained with blood, all of them were extremely excited. This time, they took the risk and launched a surprise attack on a group of Violent Earth Bears, reaping generous rewards.

“We can sell a Violent Earth Bear Essence Crystal for over a thousand Purple Crystal Coins, hehe, this time we would finally have the money to buy a set of armor!”

“Haha you rascal, always harping on the beautiful but impractical set of armor. You might as well use the money on a heavy crossbow!”

…

The people were incredibly relieved as they touched the Essence Crystals and the corpses of the Violent Earth Bears on their backs.

The town would receive a large sum of money as long as they sold the Essence Crystals to the merchant that was offering a high price for Violent Earth Bear Essence Crystals. They would be able to buy a batch of premium weapons, or even a large ship. This way, the people would be able to move their valuables to the large ship and temporarily avoid the crisis should the Magical Beasts within the Amazon Forest got into a frenzy and charged out.

“Leader Gurt, is the wound on your chest alright, do you want to rest for a moment?” Seeing the leader Gurt knit his brows and filled with worry, one of his guards had thought that his injuries had worsened.

“It’s alright, it’s just a minor injury, the bleeding had stopped long ago, however…” Looking at the boundless forest, the leader Gurt was overcome with worry, “For some reason, I feel as though something is off!”

“Don’t worry, our pals have been very thorough this time around. They had applied a layer of sandalwood ash on their bodies and clothes that masks their scents. The Violent Earth Bears that were fortunate enough to survive would definitely not follow us!”

“No, I’m worrying if Jaboli had met with any problems. I keep having the feeling that there’s something wrong with the merchant offering a high price for the Violent Earth Bear Essence Crystals. Let’s move, we travel overnight. We have to reach Jaboli before daybreak!”

…

Gurt became more and more uneasy the closer he got to Jaboli Town. As a rare Dragon Blood Warrior, he had powerful abilities; As a troop that had once set foot all around the Tailun Continent, he was highly experienced and had come across countless plots and schemes.

Back then, he had already felt that something was off when the foreign merchant offered a high price for Violent Earth Bear Essence Crystals. Because of how crazy the pirates here were, most of the merchants would arrive to Jaboli Town under the protection of a large group of troops. However, this foreign merchant had arrived at Jaboli alone, and had claimed that he was going to buy a large quantity of expensive Violent Earth Bear Essence Crystals.

How could a foreign merchant come to Jaboli alone without fear, and how would he have that many crystals so as to allow him to purchase a large number of Violent Earth Bear Essence Crystals at a high price?

Gurt felt that something was off the more he thought about it, frequently turning around and ordering to group to pick up their pace, wishing desperately that he could instantly arrive at the faraway Jaboli, back to the side of his family.

Even though winter has passed, most of the families in the town could not make it much longer as they did not have rations. In order to gather enough crystal coins and purchase a sufficient amount of rations from the merchants, he had no choice but to take the risk this time and lead a large portion of the elites into the Amazon Forest to hunt. All that was left in the town were a few elderly and handicapped, as well as a small number of brave warriors. If they coincidentally encountered a large group of pirates, the outcome would be disastrous!

After instructing Ashnamov to keep an eye on Tanzimat’s actions in secret, Yang Ling allowed the Dogman to get busy, prepared to witness his true abilities. Yang Ling took a back seat, going to a cliff by the side to train silently.

Having trained in the underwater mine at the Dark Sand Island for some time, not only did he achieve a visible improvement in his Ice-sealing Domain, his Wizard Power and mental energy had also improved drastically. He might be able to advance and become a high-level Divine Wizard with a little more effort.

According to the explanation on the stele, after advancing to become a high-level Divine Wizard, not only would he gain a further mastery over Wizard Techniques that allowed him to control souls, he could even use the souls to create Wizard Weapons.

The Blood Elf Dagger was extremely sharp, and the Ice-sealing Throne is hailed as the most powerful Divine Weapon in the entire continent; However, according to the explanation on the stele, Wizard Weapons that were personally created were a Wizard’s most powerful weapon.

What the stele in the third level of the Wizard’s Pagoda recorded was not a new Wizard Mantra, but the secret techniques to create various Wizard Treasures and overlap restrictions. Amongst those was a way to build a Soul Tampering Tower.

According to the explanation on the stele, the Soul Tampering Tower was one of the most powerful Wizard Treasures, and it complemented the Soul Tampering Technique. He could imprison the soul of his enemy within the Soul Tampering Tower, as well as make use of the massive energy in the heavens through the Soul Tampering Tower to tamper with the powerful soul his enemy might have.

After having advanced to become a mid-level Divine Wizard, Yang Ling had already gained the ability to set up multiple restrictions, and could layer on multiple Illusory Formations and Killing Formations within the Imprisonment Space. However, only by becoming a high-level Divine Wizard would he be able to create powerful Wizard Treasures like the Soul Tampering Tower and Invisible Cloak.

Three days passed in a flash as he was training silently.

Opening his eyes to look at the vast ocean, Yang Ling took a deep breath. He had just wanted to stand up and test out his abilities when Orlando rushed over in a hurry, “Sir, there’s bad news. A group of powerful townspeople had captured Sir Tanzimat!”

“Where’s the Twin-headed Ogre Braska, why isn’t he by Tanzimat’s side?” Yang Ling stood up with an unchanging expression. There shouldn’t have been a problem if the Twin-headed Ogre was by Tanzimat’s side.

“Sir Braska had been… He was severely injured by the leader of the other party, and we do not know where Sir Roke went!” Orlando was covered in sweat, perhaps because he had ran here too fast or that he was nervous. He caught his breath before continuing, “Now, Sir Ashnamov and the army are engaged in a deadlock with the other party!”

Even the Twin-headed Ogre Braska was not a match for them?

Yang Ling’s heart shook when he heard Orlando say this. He got Orlando to lead the way after letting out a cold grunt, quickly heading toward the scene. Other people might not understand how powerful the Twin-headed Ogre Braska was, but Yang Ling was clear. An enemy who could severely injure him should have the abilities of at least a sage-level fighter.

After taking a few steps, seeing that Orlando was too slow, Yang Ling decided to summon the Unicorn and get him to ride it.

The Unicorn was extremely fast, but Yang Ling was not slow either. Soon, the two of them arrived at the scene, and Yang Ling saw a large group of people even from far away. There were two-meter-tall warriors wielding heavy axes, archers that had a cold expression, Spellcasters surrounded in a magical barrier, all of them resisting Sofia and the rest, not allowing them to proceed.

“Hmph, Jaboli welcomes fearless warriors, but we definitely do not welcome anyone brazen!”

“Building a city here would only bring about endless disasters. If you cannot even defeat us, how are you going to deal with the tidal wave of Magical Beasts!”

…

The townspeople spoke one after the other, becoming more and more agitated, gripping tightly on the detestable Tanzimat. After silently arriving at the scene, Yang Ling quickly understood what was going on with Anna’s explanation.

As it turned out, after Anna released news that Yang Ling was going to build a city in Jaboli, they had quickly met with the opposition of the townspeople. However, Tanzimat had done something, and in just a day, the merchants that had a permanent outpost in Jaboli had taken the lead and agreed to the proposal of building a city here. After that, more and more people started to agree, and they obtained the approval of the majority of the townspeople in just two days.

However, just as the group was inspecting the land and prepared to build a city here, a team leader by the name of Gurt had rushed back with a team of elites. He posed a strong opposition to the idea of building a city here after he understood the situation, then captured Tanzimat who was responsible for this, engaging in an intense conflict with the soldiers. He was also the one who defeated the Twin-headed Ogre alone.

“Where’s Roke, where did he run off to?” Yang Ling had an icy expression as he looked at the Dogman Tanzimat not far away, his face pale with fear.

“No idea, I heard that he brought Miss Annie into the Amazon Forest early in the morning!” Anna felt a wave of unease as she saw Yang Ling’s ice-cold expression, deliberating for a moment before saying, “Brother Yang, let’s build a city somewhere else if we really cannot do it here, don’t get all of them…”

The defense team of Jaboli were strong, especially the leader by the name of Gurt. His abilities were far stronger than what Anna had anticipated. In terms of combat, even the Twin-headed Ogre Braska was not his match, but if Ashnamov commanded all of his soldiers to fight, the other party would not last very long against the Horned Eagle Knights and the terrifying Pear Blossom Catapults. If they added Yang Ling’s Magical Beast Army, the tiny Jaboli would be turned to dust in an instant!

Even though the other party posed a strong opposition to building a city in Jaboli and had severely injured the Twin-headed Ogre Braska, as well as captured Tanzimat; Anna definitely did not want to see Yang Ling go on a killing spree.

Someone else might not understand Yang Ling’s true abilities, but she knew them better than anyone. Even if Yang Ling did not personally take action, he might be able to tear the leader of the other party into pieces just my sending out a few high-level Magical Beasts.

“Release him!” After glancing at the kind Anna without giving a comment, Yang Ling stepped forward and shot a cold glance at the fierce Gurt.

“Sir, unless you order your troops to retreat out of Jaboli and leave this area; Otherwise, we would definitely not release him.

Seeing the soldiers to the other side of him heave sighs of relief after Yang Ling step out, all of them putting on a respectful expression, Gurt’s expression turned grim. Even though he had defeated the ferocious Twin-headed Ogre, Gurt had not felt any excitement. His scalp crawled as he looked at the black Pear Blossom Crossbows as well as the arrows faintly visible within.

The strength of the other party was too great!

Be it the Horned Eagle Knights circling in the air, or the Ogres and Bullmen who were raring to go, all of them were bloodthirsty, releasing a heavy pressure.

Ice-cold gazes, premium weapons, lethal triangular offensive formation…

All of this showed that this was an elite team of soldiers. Unless he absolutely had to, and that it concerned the survival of his loved ones, he was unwilling to make an enemy out of such a powerful killing machine.

Even though there were three powerful Dragon Blood Warriors in town, including himself, they might have to pay a heavy price if they engaged in a full-on battle with the other party, even if they emerged victorious in the end.

Unless… I forcefully transform without considering if I would expose my identity or not!

Gurt’s expression became grim as he saw Yang Ling slowly walking toward him, one step at a time!
