Chapter 1408: Wild Beast Tamer
As the spatial power swept over both of them and swallowed them up the next second, Chu Yang focused his full attention on keeping an eye out for any unexpected situations when he arrived at the other end of the teleportation formation.
After all, no matter how much he might believe that the Domain Lord Realm cultivator wouldn’t attack him, there was still a chance that the two of them would run into a dangerous situation after passing through the teleportation formation. Especially considering that the ruins on the other side were considered dangerous even to someone in the Soul Ascension realm.
Although she had told him that the location they were moving towards wasn’t the same as the one those Soul Ascension Realm cultivators had died at, it didn’t mean that they wouldn’t end up encountering a similarly dangerous situation after getting to the other side of the teleportation formation.
No matter what, to ensure his own safety and nothing ended up happening, he had to be on guard against any kind of unexpected situation that might take place after passing through the ancient teleportation formation-
“Huh?”
However, even after being prepared for all kinds of unexpected and dangerous situations that he might end up encountering on the other side, he was still left completely speechless after he came to and found himself on the other side.
“Wha-!? What is this!?”
Even the Domain Lord Realm cultivator who had been travelling along with him was taken aback and couldn’t stop herself from exclaiming in a somewhat surprised voice, as the two of them both stared directly towards a group of physically active mole like demon beast currently in the process of creating the next generation of mole like demon beast.
If that was just the case, it wouldn’t have been that shocking. Instead, the main thing that caused both Chu Yang and the woman in the Domain Lord Realm to be so taken aback, was the fact that there was another cultivator present intently watching the mole demon beast with an eerie smile on his face while muttering something intangible to himself.
“Huh!? Ah…” Suddenly jumping up in surprise in response to the two voices sounding out behind him, the cultivator watching the two mole-like demon beasts rapidly turned around with a somewhat panicked look like he had been caught doing something he shouldn’t have.
“This… A beast tamer!”
Seeing the person after he turned around, the woman standing beside Chu Yang instantly seemed to recognize the other party as she called out in a both shocked and disgusted voice.
Beast tamer? Don’t tell me… This guy is trying to nurture demon beasts in the wild…?
Hearing the exclamation of the woman next to him along with seeing how the man seemed to be doing something with the two-demon beast mating with each other, Chu Yang quickly put two and two together, as he realized that this person in front of them was a beast tamer currently in the process of trying to nurture some new demon beasts… And after a casual look over the state of the two demon beasts who continued doing what they had been doing when they first passed through the teleportation formation, it was clear that they had been affected by some kind of drug…
All of a sudden, Chu Yang understood the disgusted expression on the face of the woman beside him, as it seemed like the beast tamers outside the Star Shattering Sect also seemed to have some kind of problems. Doing this kind of thing out in the open without any care for who might happen to pass by and witness it.
Although… When compared to the beast tamers of the Star Shattering Sect, this wild beast tamer seemed to be worse, as he even resorted to harming innocent wild demon beasts.
Just looking at the two demon beasts who had been affected by this malicious wild beast tamer, they were only at the Earlier Stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Essentially harmless in the core region of the continent, yet still ended up being targeted by the malicious wild beast tamer.
“This… It’s not what it looks like! These two demon beasts have a rare bloodline, and I just wanted to try and merge it to create a powerful demon beast! I swear, I’m not someone weird!”
“”…””
“Let’s go somewhere different, the area around a thousand meters around the teleportation formation is relatively safe with only weaker demon beasts around.”
“Sure…”
After a short silence and a few weird looks towards the wild demon beast tamer who tried his best to justify what he was doing to the two poor demon beasts, Chu Yang and the female cultivator came to similar conclusion as both of them moved away from the scene together, neither of them wanting to get involved with this wild demon beast tamer.
“This…”
Leaving behind the person in question to stare in the direction that the two of them left with a somewhat nervous expression on his face. Clearly, he did not want anything about what had just happened to leak to the outside world, as his reputation could easily be destroyed by something like that if others learnt about what he had done to those two weak demon beasts.
Although he wasn’t sure that the two people just now had recognized him and might have misunderstood him as some kind of wild beast tamer conducting some sort of malicious demon beast nurturing experiment, he really didn’t want to run the risk of this actually leaking outside.
In the first place, he had chosen to do this little nurturing of his precisely inside the ruins because he understood that there were few people entering the ruins at this moment in time. Making it a relatively safe place for him to conduct his little experiment of trying to merge the bloodline of those two demon beasts together.
The entire thing would only take a few minutes to conclude, but someone had actually shown up just when everything had been about to conclude. Rendering his precious plans of hiding what he was doing completely useless if those two people ended up spreading the information through the Deep Pit City.
At first, it even made him want to kill the two people, as this would be the best way to ensure that the information wouldn’t leak out, but after a quick examination of the two people’s strength, he quickly realized that this would be completely helpless endeavor given that the two people were both in the Middle Stages of the Domain Lord Realm.
Although he himself could be considered to have reached the Late Stage of the Domain Lord Realm and was rather confident in his own strength, he had ultimately only just reached the Seventh Stage of the Domain Lord Realm and was still far from being capable of handling two Domain Lord Realm cultivators at the Middle Stage of the Realm.
This was even more so the case considering that the other party didn’t have to fight him to the death and could simply just escape in case they couldn’t match him. At which point it would almost be guaranteed that he made an enemy of these two and caused them to spread the information of what they had witnessed in the Deep Pit City.
After all, if they became his enemies, they would definitely also end up investigating his background in the Deep Pit City, something he had to try and avoid at all costs in case these two people were still unfamiliar with him!
Whoosh~!
“W-wait up fellow cultivators! I’m sure that both of you have some questions that I’m more than willing to answer! I-I will also give both of you a few gifts if you are willing to listen to this old man!”
In the end, because of this and knowing that he could under no circumstances allow what had just happened to leak outside, the man quickly grabbed the two demon beasts who had finished up their little battle before chasing after Chu Yang and the female cultivator while calling out to the two of them.
Making sure to also mention gifts so the two of them understood that he wanted to have a friendly conversation with the two of them and didn’t have any ill intentions against them.
What does this wild beast tamer want? Is he perhaps embarrassed about being seen nursing demon beast with such a disgusting method…?
Thinking this to themselves upon hearing the wild demon beast cultivator calling out to the two of them, Chu Yang and the female cultivator both looked at each other with a somewhat suspicious expression in their eyes before ultimately deciding to stop and hear out this wild beast tamer.
After all, the other party had already mentioned gifts and none of them had anything against getting things for free just from listening to the words of this wild beast tamer. Especially if that thing involved spirit stones or precious spiritual herbs…
