587: Taming Monster Beasts?

Taming Monster Beasts?

Hearing him say that, Xie Wuji could only force himself to be patient as the carriage was quickly  prepared.2

Seeing the steed drawing the carriage, Ling Chuxi's eyes lit up. The steed was jet black, its body strong and fit with slender and powerful limbs. Its mane was blood red, like a flame fluttering in the wind. It raised its head and neighed loudly, revealing a ferocious set of fangs.

A Blood Mane Beast! Ling Chuxi instantly recognized the monster beast. How was this Level 5 monster beast a steed? These beasts were not known for their attacks, but their rapid speed. Even those violent Wind Owl Beasts could only try to keep up if they encountered a Blood Mane Beast.

Ling Chuxi was secretly surprised. She never would have thought that Wu Feng Hall had such good things! Matured monster beasts were usually violent in nature and there was practically no possibility of taming them. Furthermore, Blood Mane Beasts were extremely rare and monster beasts' eggs were even harder to find. If Ding Lin Country ever decided to use Blood Mane Beasts in the military, the other countries would definitely be at a loss.

Taming monster beasts! Ling Chuxi suddenly caught on to something.

"Let's go." Chu Fengyun's words interrupted Ling Chuxi's train of thought.

"Chuxi, you don't have to go. Return to Nan Xia Country first," Mo Kongyuan said to Ling Chuxi.

"Mister Mo, I have just been promoted to the realm of True Essence and would also like to temper my new abilities for a bit." The matter was related to the safety of the Ling family, so naturally Ling Chuxi would not stay out of it.

"Alright then, but you must be careful. Don't take action unless absolutely necessary." Mo Kongyuan thought for a bit and then nodded. Ling Chuxi had just been promoted to the realm of True Essence and was totally new to the usage of the Qi of True Essence, and he also did not know if he would be able to retreat in one piece this time. It would be good to take this opportunity to guide her for a bit.

The dark beast lunged forward and the carriage shot out of the city. It was indeed a Level 5 monster beast that was famous for its speed. Even when dragging such a long carriage, it was still so much faster than even the best thoroughbred race horses. It bolted down the path, so swift that it looked like a black cloud floating past. Even after a few hours of galloping, it showed no signs of fatigue.

No wonder Chu Fengyun wanted to use the carriage! Such a long journey, even at the realm of True Essence, would have made them lose a layer of skin on their feet if they were running. When the time came, what would they use to deal with the monster beasts?

With the Blood Mane Beast pulling their carriage, besides eating and resting shortly at the posthouses along the way, there were no moments of delay. A journey that usually took more than half a month to complete ended up taking only a few days. It was a good thing that the Blood Mane Beasts' galloping was stable, so the carriage did not move much and they could sit comfortably in it.

Before them was a small village that looked like it could accommodate a few hundred people. At the village entrance, there was a big tree that looked like a large umbrella. A few long benches made of bluestone cast an image of a group of villagers idly talking and chatting happily under the tree after dinner.

However, the entire village was silent now.

On the ground, there were a few trails of dried bloodstains. The deeper they went into the village, the more bloodstains there were. They were everywhere - on the ground, the walls, and even the trees.

Even though the corpses had long been buried by Wu Feng Hall members who had arrived earlier, the stench of blood was thick in the air, and they could only imagine the terrible situation back then.

No living thing in the village, be it human or animal, had been spared.

"These prints indicate there are actually more than a hundred monster beasts. The lowest is at Level 5 and the highest is at Level 8," Lin Cangbo said heavily as he studied the markings on the ground.
