Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1317: Chapter 540: Appearing Members! An Adapting Voice?

Su Ping sat before the small stele, studying the object in front of him. He had been doing this for over an hour.

Given the current situation, walking out of the gray fog was likely impossible. Even though Qian Yi seemed capable of devouring the gray fog, it needed time to digest after every meal. As for how long that took, he didn’t know yet; he only knew that Qian Yi currently had no interest or appetite for the fog.

Moreover, Su Ping noticed that after Qian Yi devoured it, the gray fog would rapidly replenish itself. If he wanted to rely solely on eating to carve out a path, it would be a pity—Su Ping reckoned he wouldn’t be able to walk out of this gray fog world in his lifetime. Therefore, the stele in front of him was obviously the only key. But what did it mean?

The omnipresent Death Spirit Energy in the surroundings was still eroding his body. Even Su Ping couldn’t completely resist it, let alone anyone else. However, whether it was Energy or attacks, the moment they touched the stele, it would shatter directly like Lego bricks. This was the lesson Su Ping had just learned.

Yet, if his Spirit Power even slightly brushed against it, it felt as if his soul was being frozen directly through his spiritual power. That devouring sensation of Darkness left Su Ping’s body icy cold, filling him with an indescribable, profound terror. And so, the situation had reached a stalemate.

Su Ping sighed. He never expected the situation within this Heavenly Tomb to be so bizarre. If some High Level Undead had actually appeared, he would at least have something to look forward to. Even if they were top-tier, or if a Spirit Saint Level entity showed up, they would at least be visible opponents. What was this current situation supposed to be?

"Damn it! Don’t they know that what I hate the most when playing RPGs is puzzle-solving?"

No sooner had Su Ping voiced his complaint than that familiar sound appeared once more.

CLANG!

CLASH!

CLANG!

...

Su Ping immediately covered his ears. Even after experiencing this noise four times, he still couldn’t adapt to it. Fortunately, the Celestial Tomb Mark activated its Ability once again. After echoing a few times with that piercing volume, the noise slowly faded away.

Su Ping turned his head to take a look. Qian Yi remained the same, showing absolutely no signs of being affected. As for Xiao Qing, it had already been sent into the Beast Taming Space. It couldn’t be helped; Xiao Qing suffered immensely when facing this thing.

The Ferocious Beast Undead that arrived were nothing much, but the piercing strikes that repeatedly rang out at regular intervals were extremely unbearable for Xiao Qing. Leaving it outside wouldn’t be of much help either.

Fortunately, even though the number of Undead Beasts increased with each appearance, Qian Yi’s absolute strength was enough to handle them. However, if this trend continued... Mentally, there was that strange, incessant noise. Physically, the Death Energy constantly permeated his body. In terms of combat, while the continuously emerging Undead weren’t numerous, their numbers were still steadily rising. If he kept dragging things out here, Su Ping couldn’t find any other possibility except certain death.

Could it be that he had to use his last resort?

No matter what, this Heavenly Tomb was merely a Secret Realm, just a small, alternate space. Since such a space had Level restrictions, once high-intensity Energy exceeding the space’s tolerance limit appeared, even if the space didn’t collapse, a fractured exit would likely emerge.

But if that happened, let alone whether he could enter again to completely uncover the Heavenly Tomb’s mysteries, what about the other members of the Heavenly Tomb Army who had already entered? Su Ping frowned deeply, staring motionlessly at the small stele before him.

However, exactly three minutes after the noise appeared, as if governed by the most accurate and precise programming, figures emerged once more from the endless gray fog. There were still over a hundred Undead Series entities. Only this time, the number of Monarch Level ones exceeded twenty—a significant increase compared to when they first entered.

It was precisely this slow, silent change that made Su Ping realize dragging things out any further was entirely useless.

SWISH!

Three sword strikes.

The extra Monarch Level Undead Beasts didn’t help the enemy’s situation at all; at most, they only required Qian Yi to execute a few more sword strikes.

However, Su Ping’s mind began to race. These noises were obviously strange sword hums. In that case, could these sword hums be the sounds emitted by that mysterious existence within the Heavenly Tomb? Since the Dragon Nation’s Heavenly Tomb used a Sword Seal as its mark, the source of this sound was quite understandable.

Based on his deductions, as long as he found that thing and destroyed it, wouldn’t that solve the problem? Su Ping rested his chin in his hand, lost in thought. If so, whenever the sword hum rang out, these Undead would appear. Was there an inevitable connection between the two?

At this thought, Su Ping suddenly felt energized. He wasn’t afraid of any crisis, much less any Advanced Level opponents. If nothing else, he had a special Talent that had lit up after the appearance of the Giant Dragon Catalog: Immortal Dragon Soul. This Talent was Su Ping’s true trump card.
