Chapter 38

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The more the two demonic beasts fought, the fiercer they became. It was as if they were fighting to the death. In the end, both sides were heavily injured.

The Sun-devouring Leopard’s fur was soaked in fresh blood, and there wasn’t a single piece of good skin on its body. As for the Burning Red Falcon, it was about to be scratched into a bald chicken.

Even so, the momentum of both sides didn’t slow down. They could still send the other demonic beasts flying as they fought.

Yu Guang crossed his arms and looked at the two demonic beasts. He frowned and thought, “Are these two the strongest ones around here?”

Just as he was expressing his disappointment, he suddenly felt someone staring at him from the top of the mountain. After Yu Guang entered the blazing mystic realm, he felt goosebumps on his back for the first time.

As his gaze shifted, a green-furred demonic beast that looked like a lion and a tiger sat on the top of the mountain. It looked like a king looking down on all the demonic beasts. Its eyes were wide open, as if it had walked out from a mural in a temple.

Prairie Fire Liger Beast!

The moment Yu Guang saw it, a smile appeared on his face. Only then was he slightly satisfied!

The Prairie Fire Liger Beast looked at the two beasts that were tearing their heads apart and bleeding. They let out a disdainful sigh. Then, they swung their tails and stood up. They leaped into the air, their gray-green mane swaying in the wind.

Roar!

After the lion’s roar, flames that covered the sky and earth came pouring down from the mountain slope. The demonic beasts below couldn’t avoid it in time. They were directly washed into the lava, then became as silent as dumplings in a pot.

Everything was taken care of in one move!

As the flames passed by, not a blade of grass grew. The Prairie Fire Liger Beast just happened to land on the clean ground. It elegantly walked around the stone pillar twice. Its scarlet tongue licked away the remaining god-tier bait on it, but because it was too dry from the lava, it could no longer be pulled back.

The Prairie Fire Liger Beast retracted its tongue in boredom, leisurely licking its paws, as if it was a king.

Yu Guang admired its beautiful green mane. Demon beasts tended to seek advantages while avoiding disadvantages. Most of the demon beasts in the blazing mystic realm were red, which could be considered a kind of disguise. Only the Prairie Fire Liger Beast was covered in green and gray, like the only green grass in the desert. Just its appearance was too ostentatious.

Yu Guang couldn’t help but wonder, “Is it the king of the mystic realm?”

Just as he was thinking if he should use the god-tier bait on it, the leisurely Prairie Fire Liger Beast suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Guang, licking its lips.

It noticed me!

Yu Guang looked straight into the eyes of the Prairie Fire Liger Beast, and he actually saw the coldness in the beast’s eyes, as well as the greed that would devour any delicacy it encountered.

“Alright.” Yu Guang stretched his fingers and laughed. “Let’s see if you have what it takes to become my subdued beast!”

A new group of demon beasts gathered nearby, but because of the Prairie Fire Liger Beast’s presence, they did not dare to get close. They surrounded the man and the beast like a spectator.

The Prairie Fire Liger Beast stepped forward, raised its four paws, and flew toward Yu Guang!

Yu Guang dodged to the side at lightning speed. The Prairie Fire Liger Beast licked its nose excitedly, as if it was enjoying a game of cat catching a mouse. To it, it might not be able to understand the complex facial expression system of humans.

If it understood a little bit, it would have been on guard when it saw Yu Guang smiling with his hands behind his back. Unfortunately, the Prairie Fire Liger Beast did not know this. Not only did it not know, but it was also preparing for the next round of attack. It did not even notice the blue light on its four legs.

“Roar!” The Prairie Fire Liger Beast roared into the sky and began the second round of attack on Yu Guang.

Suddenly, its extended neck stopped moving. It just fell on the ground in a daze like a dog gnawing on mud. The other demon beasts that were watching were so scared that their ears drooped and their necks shrank.

The four limbs of the Prairie Fire Liger Beast were wrapped in a thick layer of ice, like a pair of fat boots. It was firmly nailed to the ground and couldn’t move.

“Roar… Roar…”

A heavy breath came out from the nostrils of the Prairie Fire Liger Beast. Its black eyes reflected Yu Guang’s calm and composed figure.

Yu Guang silently watched the state of the Prairie Fire Liger Beast. If even this little attack of his could not break it, the title of king of all beasts would be ridiculous.

He reached out his hand and made a gesture to tease the puppy. “Come here!”

Crack!

The ice boots cracked and hit the head of the demon beast that was watching the show, letting out a few whines of grievance.

The Prairie Fire Liger Beast was completely enraged. Its sharp claws dug into the ground, gathering strength, and its throat let out a threatening growl.

At the critical moment, the stone pillar coated with familiar bait suddenly let out a faint cry, like a newborn puppy. The little one was almost drowned out by the sound of the prairie beast grinding the ground.

However, it was just such a faint sound that all the demonic beasts who heard it seemed to be petrified in an instant. They stood still on the spot, not moving at all. The Prairie Fire Liger Beast was not spared either.

Yu Guang looked up and saw a little golden fox jumping down from the top of the stone pillar. A little white fur on the tip of its tail jumped with it in the wind, like a carefree dandelion.

The little fox’s figure was light, and its posture was ghostly. It landed on the head of the Prairie Fire Liger Beast and lightly tapped it before landing in front of Yu Guang.

The Prairie Fire Liger Beast, which was furious because of Yu Guang’s provocation, did not even dare to snort, allowing the little fox to use itself as a stepping stone. Yu Guang looked at its expression and felt that if the Prairie Fire Liger Beast was a human, it might come up and fawn over the little fox.

The food chain between demon beasts was very strict. A demon beast that could make the Prairie Fire Liger Beast submit was definitely the king of all demon beasts!

“Eye of Identification!” Yu Guang narrowed his eyes and secretly activated the system skill.

[ Name: None ]

[ Race: Nine-tailed fox ]

[ Level: S ]

[ Potential: S ]

It was indeed extraordinary. The Little Fox’s level was quite overbearing. It was the highest that Yu Guang had seen so far! And its potential was still on the verge of leveling up!

“Hello,” Yu Guang said in a deep voice. He changed his tone and used the language of beasts.

Beastmasters would learn the basic language of beasts in school, making it convenient for them to use it when they were taming demon beasts. After all, if they could solve things with words, they definitely shouldn’t make a move.

The little fox’s eyes widened slightly, clearly a little surprised.

“Hello,” the Little Fox replied softly, then continued, “Are you willing to sign a contract with me?”

Hmm?

So proactive?

Yu Guang was a little surprised. This king of demon beasts was too unique. He was actually willing to sign a contract with a human?

It must be known that beastmasters looked for their subdued beasts to fight demon beasts on the battlefield. The contract required their subdued beasts to be absolutely loyal to the beastmaster, which was a form of indentured servitude.

No living creature was willing to give up their freedom to be commanded by another living creature. That was why the little fox’s initiative made Yu Guang worry instead.

“Human, there’s no need to doubt me,” the little fox noticed Yu Guang’s hesitation and took the initiative to explain, “There’s naturally another reason why I’m willing to sign a contract with you. If you want my help, of course you have to promise me one thing first. If you can do it, I can tell you the reason behind it.”
