“Tsk-tsk, pretty stringent with the layout here, but what a pity, this doesn’t affect me at all.”
The blurred figure of the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten, incomparably fast and swift, stayed hidden in the darkness of the shadows. With a light leap, it spanned a distance of ten meters within the woods.
With its agile and alert sense of sight that was very human-like, it looked around at the layout of the Cerulean Planet’s stronghold.
At the same time, at the Cerulean Planet’s stronghold that was about three or four miles away. Moroun stayed hidden in a large tree with dense branches and leaves, motionlessly.
There was not a hint of breath that could be detected from him at all. His eyes were open, but completely void of life.
It seemed as though he no longer had consciousness, as all of it had been transferred over to his beast, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten. At the same time, by his side, there was a Silver Blood youth all dressed in black.
The hands of this youth were holding a translucent worm.
The most transparent end of this worm had taken root in Moroun’s head, deep into his mind.
The other end was like the antenna of an old television, constantly swaying about as it extended far into the distance, as if it was communication with something across space.
In the distance, after a few leaps, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten avoided being caught by a Cerulean Planet’s Beast Tamer on patrol and found Xu Canchan, who was standing in front of a Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone.
After arriving here, it retreated slightly, taking two steps back and looked around with due vigilance.
Then after a moment of contemplation, it left.
It could already tell that this Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone of Xu Canchan had advanced to the Dark Iron level.
But there were too many people around. While it was very confident of being able to kill Xu Canchan if it were to sneak an attack on him, it knew that there was no way not to stir up a commotion.
And the moment there was a commotion breaking out, it would not be easy for it to go about killing others.
Its target was not simply a ‘small fry’ like Xu Canchan.
It was that Beast Tamer who owned the Tyrannosaurus, of whom Morodo had placed such great emphasis on while telling him about it.
Or that Beast Tamer from the Cerulean Planet who had full control over the Thousand Shadows Lightly Breezed Crane.
With this thought in mind, it turned its Marten body and scooted off in other directions in search of its targets.
There were countless rare beasts in this world. In order to prevent the Silver Blood Clan from sending out assassin-type beasts, the Cerulean Planet had actually planted more than one scouting-type beasts in areas outside its stronghold.
However, the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten’s perception was extraordinarily sensitive.
Whenever it encountered such a beast, it would be able to detect it in advance and avoid it when it was still as far as a few hundred meters away.
So much so that for a full ten minutes or so that it spent stealing its way in, no one could even find as much as a trace of its trail at all.
“Mm?”
Suddenly, just as the Shadow Gimlet-Eyed Marten was wandering about in the forest, scouring and probing about the Cerulean Planet’s stronghold in search for Ye Xuan and Gu Qinghe.
After it landed soundlessly from flight on a large tree, its gaze flashed.
It caught sight of a woman dressed in white with a slender figure. She was leading a huge Forest Monitor Lizard, and was heading off in a certain direction.
Its gaze flickered.
The next moment, it was right behind, quietly following this woman.
It was ready to see if it could chance upon any discoveries or gains.
Rumble-rumble!
Ye Xuan stood under a large tree while feeling all the violent tumbling within his Spirit Ocean when amidst the void, countless Spirit Auras converged into a whirlpool and tumbled towards him.
The moment these Spirit Auras penetrated into his body, they surged into his Spirit Ocean.
As soon as they entered the depth of his Spirit Ocean, amidst two strange whirlpools suddenly took form.
And immediately after, Ye Xuan realized that after absorbing a large amount of Spirit Aura, these two whirlpools, under the influence of certain rules, changed abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, these whirlpools actually opened up to reveal two strange voids.
These two voids were immense in size.
In one of the voids, the land was fully composed of colorful amber crystal stones.
Judging by the size, it was a full million square meters big.
There was even an amble mountain with its peak reaching as high as 100 meters inside this void.
The surroundings of this mountain peak were filled with layers of multi-colored fog.
This fog changed shape from time to time. The shapes that it formed were mostly those of various kinds of beasts.
At the foot of the mountain, hundreds of thousands of amber stone forests simply rose from the ground.
Every amber stone pillar found in these amber stone forests was at least five or six meters high. And similarly, they were all very colorful, as well as abnormally thick and stout.
The sight of it was simply fantastical.
Upon comparison with this void, the other one was slightly smaller.
And there were many thousand-year-old trees growing in the other void.
When this void first came into existence, under the influence of unknown rules, seeds of the ancient trees that were borne internally by this void, rapidly sprouted and grew into these thousand-year-old trees.
Lush and verdant, they were dense with vitality.
At the same time, there was a mountain valley right in the center of this void.
Amidst the valley, there was an azure well with a diameter of two or three meters in size.
The well was very shallow, probably only about a meter deep.
But the azure liquid that filled this well could make anyone feel the impulse of wanting to scoop a mouthful of it to drink at just one look.
At the same time, right next to the well, there was an ancient tree that was even more imposing and even denser in vitality.
“Is this the first beast taming talent that I have awakened?”
Ye Xuan looked at these two voids and caught the message that was transmitted into his mind through a meditative channel and was momentarily stunned.
He had not expected the first talent he had awakened to actually be so powerful.
“Beast lair!”
He muttered to himself.
According to the message that he had received in his meditative mind, the beast taming talent that he had awakened was call the Beast Lair.
Just as the name implied, this talent was one that allowed him to open up spaces in his Spirit Ocean for his beasts, and these spaces would be ones with the most suitable conditions for his beasts to live in.
However, this talent was more than just simply allowing his beasts to live in the Beast Lair.
The thought of it struck a chord with Ye Xuan’s heart. He separated his consciousness again and landed on the Attribute Panel within his mind.
[Beast Taming Talent: Beast Lair
The Beast Tamer can open up a number of spaces in his mind that corresponds to the number of beasts he owns, and these lair spaces have the most suitable conditions for his beasts to live in.
In this lair space, the beast’s resilience is greatly increased.
Its perception of the outside world is greatly increased.
When executing its skills, its skill proficiency is greatly increased.
When the beast is in its space lair, it also gets to advance at a faster rate.
At the same time, when the Beast Tamer summons his beast, he can summon the beast from anywhere within a hundred meters of his body.
After the beast enters its beast space, it can leave a trace of imprint of itself in this space. This trace of imprint can allow the beast to draw support from the power of the Beast Lair after its death, and with the help of this power, it can be reborn within a month of its death.
The Beast Lair can develop along with the growth of the beast.
Everything within the lair space of the beast can be restored as before within a certain period of time after being destroyed.]
“The two of you are going to be so blessed in the future!”
After reading the detailed introduction of the Beast Lair that could be found on the Attribute Panel, Ye Xuan felt a burst of incredulity in his heart.
It had never occurred to him that he had actually awakened such a powerful beast taming talent.
This talent, without mentioning anything else, just the ability that could allow his beasts to undergo resurrection upon death alone could become his core beast taming talent in the future.
As he contemplated, Ye Xuan looked at Lil Wan, who was standing on his palm, and his Tyrannosaurus, that was standing guard not far away.
He suddenly had an idea and summoned his two beasts into their respective Beast Lair.
Just like summoning the beasts from their Beast Lairs, so long as his beasts were within a hundred meters of him, he was able to summon them into their beast lairs.
The only difference was that when summoning his beasts into their Beast Lairs, the beasts had to be fully attuned to his consciousness, be it in mind or body, and cooperate with him wholeheartedly.
Otherwise, there was no way he could summon them back into their Beast Lairs.
In other words, this meant that basically, there was no way he could summon his beasts into their Beast Lairs when in combat state.
This same condition was likewise, applicable to the summoning of beasts back into beast rings.
“Ye Xuan.”
Ye Xuan had just summoned Lil Wan and his Tyrannosaurus back into their beasts’ lair space when a nice voice suddenly sounded from not too far away.
Ye Xuan raised his head and immediately laid eyes on Song Jia, who was clothed in a white dress, with a smile on her face.
To his surprise, she was emerging from the forest and walking towards him with her beast, the Toxic Emerald Tree Monitor King.
“Mm?”
