Chapter 411: Chapter 411
The snow-covered mountains, perpetually blanketed in ice and snow.
Due to the presence of a grand existence, numerous Frost Spirit Beasts thrive here: Little Snowball, Emperor Penguin, Snow Leopard, among others. Fortunate Beast Tamers might encounter rare Pet Beasts such as the Three-Tailed Frost Flame Fox, Dream Elf, and Phantom.
However, opportunity and danger coexist, and the ruins also entomb countless greedy and innocent souls.
According to Federation statistics, since the birth of these ruins two hundred years ago, the known casualties have reached one thousand two hundred Beast Tamers, including ten at the Dawn Star level.
A sweet girl stepped onto the snow mountain, pointed towards the snow-covered peaks reaching into the clouds, and greeted the viewers on her screen.
"Hello everyone, I'm Honey. For this session of the Ice Dragon Ruins, I'll be livestreaming the whole journey for you."
With the opening of the Ice Dragon Ruins bringing in massive traffic, hosts, reporters, vloggers, bloggers, and the like have set up camp at the base of the snowy mountains, eagerly capturing a wave of traffic.
Soon, Beast Tamers participating in the ruins exploration arrived via Star Orbit vehicles, quickly forming more than twenty teams.
Each team was led by a Dawn Star level powerhouse, representing forces from major cities' Beast Taming Families, Starfire Sequence students, private mercenaries hired by financial groups, and more.
Because with the opening of the ruins, apart from super rare Pet Beasts, there are technological heritages of ancient civilizations, life-extending Spirit Pills and Treasure Medicines, forbidden knowledge of the divine era, Spiritual refinement treasures, almost extinct materials…
At this time. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✦fire.net
Over twenty armored vehicles arrived, equipped with machine guns and cannons, and seven individuals disembarked.
The one leading appeared to be about thirty years old, with a masculine and handsome demeanor, handing a ruins access permit to the guarding Federation army.
Diving into the ruins requires an application to the Federation, followed by exchanging for a spot, and a portion of the discovered resources must be handed over.
"Wow, it's the Warhammer Squad, who were active at the border battlefield. All seven members are dragon-type Beast Tamers, all at Gold rank, and the captain, Luo Yuhao, is at the mid-Dawn Star level! Their trip to the ruins will definitely secure a top-five spot!"
"You're out of the loop. Luo Yuhao made a significant contribution and was mentored by a senior, bathed in dragon blood. It has a great deterrent effect on sub-dragon species. He might find a mutated dragon species in the ruins."
"Dragon-type Beast Tamers, with the feedback from beast taming, have an all-attribute boost far superior to regular Beast Tamers. Even with individual combat strength alone, he is no less than late Dawn Star level."
Those familiar with the inside story released big news, voraciously soaking up traffic.
Meanwhile, another team arrived, all cloaked in black robes, riding skeletal warhorses, totaling ten people.
"What the hell, Undead Beast Tamers? Even such sinister ones have arrived?"
"Just hearing 'undead' triggers me. My ex-boyfriend was from the Undead Academy. I'm not badmouthing, but these guys are really not normal, feeding pet beasts with parents' ashes, chanting about resurrection. It freaked me out, and I took my mint cat and bolted overnight."
"Sis, you must have stumbled upon an Evil Gods ritual! There's a reward for reporting it—don't let your ex-boyfriend be instantly refined!"
Seeing the livestream room grow to 5,000 viewers, Honey couldn't help but feel delighted. Indeed, hiring a few trolls to stir up the rhythm and tell small stories indeed captured traffic.
Undead Beast Tamers, although not universally despised, were highly respected for reducing casualties by commanding hordes of corpses on the border battlefield.
However, those who pursue this branch of beast taming also suffer from Netherworld curses, unknown to the world.
A cuboid fortress descended from the sky, from which emerged a youthful team, led by a middle-aged man in knightly armor.
Under his command were handsome men and women.
Among them was a mature woman with long legs in slick black stockings, adorned with sexy red lips and lightly red-shadowed beautiful eyes that gazed around.
As she walked, her slender waist swayed, and three fluffy white-and-red fox tails peeked out from her perky hips, exuding natural allure that instantly attracted the gazes of the men present, stirring a seductive desire.
"Tang Zimo, put away your Illusion Technique."
Baili Xuan Gate turned back to see the Illusion Technique genius at it again, angrily knocking a fist on her head.
"Many forces converge on the ruins, a mix of all kinds—you shouldn't make yourself so conspicuous. It doesn't benefit our training."
Tang Zimo stuck out her tongue, retracting the Illusion Technique. "I'm just looking for Chu Yi. With my Illusion Technique, I believe he'll fall under my influence in no time and act as my dog."
A nearby purple-haired youth said indifferently, "The ruins are a great training opportunity. If the Six-Tailed Flame Emperor wants to grow, it won't miss this chance."
Baili Xuan Gate nodded, "Jiang Zhe, as the team captain entering the ruins, you need to protect your teammates and unite them. I may not always be by your side."
The group responded, heading to the military base at the foot of the snow mountain, opening their Star Bracelets to scan the ruins exploration qualification they've applied for.
As Jiang Zhe made his appearance, with his reputation, someone immediately revealed this prodigy.
"He's Jiang Zhe, the top of Jiangling Academy, son of the dean!"
"Three years ago, he was already at Gold rank. Who knows how much his strength has expanded since then?"
"Not just him, the surrounding teammates are all well-known talents."
"Obviously—this is a star-studded lineup created by the city's full effort. Jiangling City aims to break into the Imperial Capital this Beast Pet Contest! Very ambitious!"
"If they break into the Imperial Capital, there's hope for Dawn Star!"
Not only Jiang Zhe, Tang Zimo's group, but also other cities' star lineups debuted one after another, triggering waves of traffic.
This is not only a training session but also a chance to draw in popularity and create Beast Taming stars, attracting many sponsors.
A highly talented Beast Tamer, limited by family financial conditions, stalled in Beast Taming. If you have fame, you'll immediately be approved an interest-free loan, which is simply a blessing.
Beast Taming is a costly path, and loan amounts reflect your potential in Beast Taming.
Even Tang Zimo had opened an account, relying on her alluring Illusion Technique and a slight investment in buying followers, gathering a million fans, earning Beast Taming resources through gigs.
And participating in this ruins training are all-star lineups, broadcast by major cities to witness the star battles of more than a dozen cities, igniting discussions.
And as the atmosphere heated up, a shadow appeared, expanding at an alarming speed, gradually engulfing the silhouettes of many teams.
The crowd looked up, staring intently, everyone gaping in astonishment.
On the horizon, a massive dark cloud, like an impending storm, approached. The cloud rolled with skeletal remains, pulling at scarlet threads of blood.
The eerie corpse cloud blocked the sun, the sky engulfed by the sea of clouds, a shriek echoing, spreading an icy, confounding, sinister aura, causing trembling from within everyone's Soul.
This is the unique domain oppression of King-level!
The crowd's hair stood on end, their Pet Beasts curled up on the ground, not daring to move, a flood of fear overwhelming them.
Terror-stricken sobs ensued.
