The night...
Chu Tian, dragging his exhausted body, arrived at the council hall on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion.
Accompanying girls on shopping trips was no easy feat.
It was more tiring than fighting a powerful opponent.
Not to mention four lively and active young girls.
By the end of the day, Chu Tian learned that the four sisters had been picked up by the old City Lord, Wei, from outside the city.
Therefore, they had no idea who was the eldest sister.
"Yo... the busy man is back!"
It was Ding Ding who spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Nie Yun and Qian Qian were also present, and their gazes towards Chu Tian held a trace of resentment.
He understood clearly that they must have looked for him during the day.
"Sister Yun! Qian Qian, why are you here too? And Dian Dian?"
Chu Tian was curious, the people in this room were all familiar faces.
"Squeak, squeak..." Suddenly, Xiao Kong Kong hopped onto his shoulder.
Making dissatisfied sounds.
"Got it, got it, and you too!"
Chu Tian patted its head, then lifted it down.
"By the way, where is Inu Gorō? Did he return to his clan?"
Seeing so many people present, but Inu Gorō missing, he asked.
Suddenly, the cheerful atmosphere among the group fell silent.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Tian immediately had a bad premonition.
His expression shifted from a smile to a look of inquiry.
No one spoke for a long time, and finally, Hao spoke, his voice muffled.
"Gorō... is dead! He died saving me..."
Boom...
Chu Tian's body trembled, and a killing intent erupted towards the sky.
A chilling aura permeated the air, causing everyone's bodies to shiver.
Even Old Yang, a peak Battle God realm expert, couldn't help but his eyes lit up as he looked at the solid killing intent surrounding Chu Tian.
With a wave of his hand, a barrier appeared, enveloping the trembling Nie Yun and Dian Dian.
In this room, only Nie Yun was an ordinary person.
Dian Dian had already begun learning the art of spirit communication with Ding Ding.
This girl had eaten the seeds of an ancient spiritual herb in that ancient city underground.
She had indeed comprehended the essence of heaven and earth, and combined with her innate understanding of animal languages, she naturally awakened the constitution of a spirit communicator.
Even Qian Qian was learning the art of beast taming with Ding Ding.
Although Ding Ding was not a beast tamer, one needed to learn beast taming first to learn the art of spirit communication.
Therefore, teaching her was more than sufficient.
"Who killed Gorō?" Chu Tian saw Old Yang's action.
Suppressing himself, he retracted his killing intent and squeezed out the words through his teeth.
"Yin Yiran, the Golden Falcon... the one we saw when we entered the city.
During the trial, it attacked me, and I was no match!
Gorō blocked the fatal blow for me, but he was still seriously injured.
Because of this, I also withdrew from the trial!"
Hao said, opening his collar to reveal a bowl-sized scar on his chest.
"If it weren't for Gorō, I would be dead!
Its attack was blocked by Gorō's body.
It almost injured my heart meridian!"
Hao's sturdy body trembled as he spoke, his nose stinging, and he almost shed tears.
"The Golden Falcon Yin Yiran, is it female? The one who won first place in the Myriad Beasts Trial three years ago?"
Chu Tian looked at Wei Jin, he had mentioned it when he spoke last night.
Wei Jin nodded, a wry smile on his face. "It's her. She is also on the list for the Four Cities Grand Assembly in the beast race."
"En..." Chu Tian let out a nasal sound.
"Have the Central Army Guards all gone out of the city?" Chu Tian asked again.
"They've all gone out. Normally, the Central Army Guards stay in their barracks and don't leave unless there's a mission, so they won't be discovered for a short period!
However, if it's for a long time, and the barracks are quiet without training, someone with intent will definitely notice."
"Then let's set off too!"
Chu Tian didn't intend to keep it a secret for long, he just didn't want to be discovered now.
"Old Yang, Hao, Ding Ding, Wei Jin, the four of you come with me. The rest can go rest!"
Just as Chu Tian was about to turn, Dong Dong suddenly stepped forward. "I'm going too!"
Chu Tian frowned. He was not in a good mood at the moment.
"No!"
Without considering Wei Jin's feelings, he refused directly with a cold tone and turned to leave.
This Dong Dong, with no apparent cultivation, seemed like an ordinary person.
"Chu Tian, let her come along. She won't be a burden, and might even be helpful!"
Ding Ding caught up a few steps and whispered in Chu Tian's ear.
Here, only she knew that the bomb Gou De'er mentioned when he cursed Wei Du referred to Dong Dong.
As for why, she didn't know.
She only knew that Gou De'er would go out of his way to avoid Dong Dong.
Chu Tian was stunned and looked back at Wei Jin.
He nodded.
The group stealthily left Myriad Beasts City without alerting anyone.
It wasn't until ten li outside the city that they met up with the Central Army Guards, and Chu Tian spoke.
"Set off, target: the Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast tribe."
Everyone was stunned. They had thought that by gathering so many people, they would be going after the Golden Falcon tribe.
However, thinking about it, he didn't know about Gorō's death yesterday.
Secretly summoning the Central Army Guards out of the city to gather outside seemed to be his arrangement from yesterday.
Along the way, seeing his cold expression, no one dared to ask.
Now, he suddenly announced they were going to the Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast tribe.
What did he intend to do?
The Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast was a mid-tier beast tribe.
Their combat power was average, but their speed was extremely fast.
Otherwise, they wouldn't live up to their name of Purple Lightning.
However, their greatest skill was not speed, but illusion.
It was just that the illusion cast by a single Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast was not very impressive.
Therefore, they were gregarious creatures, and only when their numbers reached a certain level.
Could their spitting mist create illusions like super mirages.
Because of this move alone, even beast tribes with royal bloodlines couldn't do anything about them.
If they didn't have such weak individual combat abilities, they could rival super large tribes.
Chu Tian, when he saw Wei Jin's sand table yesterday.
The system gave a prompt.
[Ding... System prompt: Detected detailed monster distribution area in the Southwest Region. Do you want to scan and update the map?]
Chu Tian naturally chose to update.
On the map, the Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast was the closest flying beast tribe to Myriad Beasts City.
Therefore, Chu Tian set his sights on them.
As for illusions...
Facing a soul master, it would only be a mirage.
Chu Tian was their nemesis.
After a night of forced march, there were very few wild demonic beasts around Myriad Beasts City.
Those solitary demonic beasts, seeing a human team of twenty thousand, those with any sense knew to avoid them.
As dawn approached, Chu Tian checked the map.
There were still two hundred kilometers to the marked location.
He believed that this distance meant they had entered the sentry range of the Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast tribe.
"Hao... descend!"
"En!"
The giant white tiger figure made a turn in the air and landed on the ground.
Wei Jin saw this and quickly pulled on the Wind-Chasing Swift Plum Blossom Beast he was riding.
Old Yang and the others also stopped.
Everyone looked enviously at the man standing on the head of the white tiger.
So cool, it was their first time seeing someone riding a pure-blooded beast.
And such a majestic white tiger that could also fly.
Even Old Yang, after leaving the city, had secretly told Chu Tian that he wanted a beast as a mount.
Hao had been by Old Yang's side for the past three years.
Suddenly making him ride a chicken-legged mountain climbing beast on the ground was indeed a bit unaccustomed.
But Hao belonged to Chu Tian, and he couldn't shamelessly ask to ride.
Chu Tian looked at the Central Army Guards below, satisfied in his heart.
After running all night, riding Hao and flaunting over them all night, he wanted this effect.
He patted Hao's ear and said with a smile, "Are you envious?"
Those below looked at each other, not knowing what Chu Tian meant.
"Answer me..."
Chu Tian's divine sense moved, stirring their heartstrings.
"Envious..."
A uniform, thunderous reply.
"Then you can only be envious... because Hao is my brother, not my mount!"
Chu Tian's voice was not loud, but it struck a chord.
The biggest reaction to this statement came from the giant white tiger.
Its body trembled, and an inexplicable emotion sprouted in its heart.
"You... are also my brothers! Today, I will take you to catch mounts.
Each of you... will get a Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast, what do you say?"
His words stunned everyone.
Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast? As mounts?
An adult Purple Lightning Cloud-Spitting Beast, although its individual combat power was weak, it still possessed the strength of a peak Celestial Soul realm.
How could they, a group of Earth Soul realm warriors, tame a Celestial Soul realm beast?
That was a pure-blooded beast, not a demonic beast!
Beasts were proud at their core, and they would not allow humans to ride them.
And to equip each person with one...
Wasn't he dreaming?
Even Old Yang, this peak Battle God realm expert, was taken aback.
