93: Blue Winged Dragon Beast, strange human

“Alright then, how about I take you, Uncle Li, around Jianghai City for the next two days?”

“Sounds good, I’ve been wanting to see some of your Human Race’s unique characteristics.”

...

Yuan Yi Mountain Secret Realm.

Zhang Quandan and his group successfully rendezvoused with the team led by Steward Zhang.

Since they were divided into three teams, and all three teams had now gathered, it was time to rest.

Outside, it was already night.

However, within the Secret Realm, there was no distinction between day and night; the Secret Realm was illuminated by the light from the barrier above.

A group of twelve people gathered around a bonfire.

They had only prepared the necessary water and cooking tools; ingredients were sourced locally.

“Zhou Da, your Beast Master strength still needs improvement.”

“Zhang Cang, your command abilities are not yet proficient enough.”

...

During dinner, Steward Zhang began to summarize the training results he had observed today.

This included Zhang Quandan and the other two as well.

Zhang Quandan and his companions also became aware of their current shortcomings.

They hoped to address these shortcomings by tomorrow, or at least devise coping strategies if they couldn't.

“Alright, that’s all for the summary. I hope you all continue to work hard.”

“Don’t disappoint the Young Master.”

Then, Steward Zhang planned to summon his Beast to guard the surroundings.

As the Beast Master Watch was pressed, an Azure Winged Dragon Beast crawled out from the summoning array.

It resembled a large lizard but had a pair of azure wings on its back.

“Azure Winged Dragon Beast, I’m entrusting the safety of the perimeter to you.”

The Azure Winged Dragon Beast nodded, then began to vigilantly patrol the surroundings.

As for Zhang Quandan and his group, they rested on the spot, set up their tents, and went to sleep.

The long period of training had left their minds and bodies exhausted.

So, they needed rest to relieve their stress.

Watching everyone begin to rest, Steward Zhang also walked to his tent to rest.

After all, he had been watching them all day; it would be strange if he wasn't tired.

Not far away.

A person with a somewhat wobbly gait happened to walk into the area guarded by the Azure Winged Dragon Beast.

The Azure Winged Dragon Beast silently observed this person from the shadows.

It seemed as if it would strike immediately if the person did anything suspicious.

Suddenly, the person stopped in place, their eyes darting around continuously.

Their stomach kept bulging, as if something was moving inside.

The next second, the person opened their mouth, and a tentacle-like object emerged from it.

Seeing this, the Azure Winged Dragon Beast was almost scared out of its wits.

What in the world is that?

Why is this human so strange?

Why does it have such peculiar things in its mouth?

No! I must report this to my master!

Just as the Azure Winged Dragon Beast was about to leave, the strange person seemed to notice something.

All the tentacles extending from the person’s mouth retracted.

At the same time, their eyes kept darting around. Three seconds later, their eyes focused on the direction where the Azure Winged Dragon Beast was located.

“There’s a Beast here! It seems there are people nearby!”

“This Beast definitely discovered me!”

“I must eliminate it!”

The Azure Winged Dragon Beast’s strength was Marquis-level Rank Nine, which normally shouldn't appear in this place.

If it were a wild beast, it would be in the inner area.

Its presence in the outer area indicated that it was definitely a Beast!

Beasts also have ways to transmit information to their masters.

So, to avoid exposing himself, he could only kill the Beast he found!

They were all from the Soul Devouring Demon Clan, belonging to the Lord of Wrath.

Because several Devil Kings of their clan had died at the hands of a human, to seek revenge, they decided to kidnap that human’s friends!

To use them to threaten that human!

Even if that human didn’t fall for it, they could still kill his friends to sicken that human!

So they were dispatched.

There were ten Soul-Devouring Demons in total, and he was the strongest, reaching Marquis-level Rank Nine.

His strength was the same as that Beast’s, but he could summon Beasts and also fight alongside wild beasts.

A mere human would never be his opponent!

However, to be safe, he still gathered a few of his companions.

At this moment, Steward Zhang, who was resting, seemed to sense something.

After unzipping his tent, he found the Azure Winged Dragon Beast.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is something happening?”

The Azure Winged Dragon Beast nodded, then began their unspoken communication.

Although to outsiders, Steward Zhang looked like a fool talking to himself.

But this method was truly effective.

“You mean there’s a strange human nearby, and that human has some special things coming out of their mouth?”

The Azure Winged Dragon Beast nodded; that’s exactly what it meant.

It was a pity; if it could speak, it wouldn’t be so difficult.

If it weren’t for its Origin being damaged in a battle back then.

With its Epic Grade quality, it would have already been able to advance to King-Rank Beast strength.

It wouldn’t be stuck at just Marquis-level Rank Nine, as it was now.

Unable to Breakthrough to the King-Rank level.

It’s important to know that for Beast Masters, the King-Rank is the second major transformation of strength.

Every subsequent rank can be considered a transformation of strength.

“Something special coming out, a bit like a rope.”

As Steward Zhang pondered, he seemed to recall something.

“Oh no!”

“Quick! We need to evacuate this place immediately!”

“Those with Secret Keys, quickly use them to leave the Secret Realm! Those without Secret Keys, come with me! Head to the safe zone!”

As he spoke, Steward Zhang quickly summoned another one of his flying Beasts.

It was a Cat-Eye Tiger Eagle!

Its strength was Marquis-level Rank One.

The quality of this Cat-Eye Tiger Eagle was only Rare Grade, but it had broken through its own shackles and successfully advanced to Marquis-level strength.

Unfortunately, it could only break through one stage.

But this also proved the Cat-Eye Tiger Eagle’s power.

When Li Zun returned, he had originally intended to ask Yang Qian for help to see if they could research the Cat-Eye Tiger Eagle’s evolution Dao.

However, due to delays, he was now in the Netherworld.

The people undergoing training, though unaware of what exactly was happening, still obeyed Steward Zhang’s command to evacuate the scene.

The drop rate for Secret Keys was very low, so none of them had ever obtained one.

Therefore, there was no choice but to return to the safe zone the way they came.

“Steward Zhang, is something happening?”

Because Zhang Quandan was Li Yao’s brother, Steward Zhang naturally knew Zhang Quandan.

Moreover, Wang Xiaomei, Zhang Quandan, and Li Yao had all been watched growing up by Steward Zhang.
