Eternal Beast Taming Family

This attack seemed to have hit a nerve with "Nine Abyss Lord," as five of its nine heads turned back in resentment.

The swamp beneath their bodies carried a foul miasma that filled the entire space. In an instant, the two people and the four source beasts felt their bodies become heavy, and they felt as if they were about to fall downwards.

The spatial passage opened again below them, and they reappeared in a void not far away.

This time, however, it seemed that "Nine Abyss Lord" had locked onto the location in advance. Just as they emerged from the spatial rift, a snake head with a terrifyingly large mouth lunged at them.

A blinding flash of light appeared, and the "Yang Fire Battle Body" of the "Three-Headed Yuechen Mastiff" materialized.

Its enormous, fiery body, with its two claws bracing against the upper and lower jaws of the snake's mouth, forcefully pushed it back.

With its wings spread wide, the "Sky-Splitting Electric Bird" grew larger as it faced the wind, instantly reaching a wingspan of nearly 100 meters, and the surrounding void also became distorted in an instant.

With a thunderous roar, the cloud of lightning condensed from the void appeared in a large area, and the constantly flashing lightning seemed to become the only bright light in the world, illuminating the entire battlefield.

As the domain expanded, large balls of lightning swept across the snake swamp, calming the swarms of snakes that clung to it.

Seeing that these annoying insects were finally willing to fight him head-on, "Nine Abyss Lord" revealed a fierce glint in his eyes.

Some snakes have sharp, scale-like spikes growing on their heads; some have gray balls in their mouths; and some spew out miasma and poisonous gas.

Some even emitted strange cries, and streaks of runes fell from the sky into the snake swamp. After a painful struggle, the snakes seemed to have evolved, becoming even more ferocious and terrifying.

These Earth-rank snakes did not participate in the battles between the Domain-rank snakes; instead, they ferociously surrounded the surrounding villages and towns.

The battlefields of the Domain-level and lower-level forces intersected in one place. The aftershocks of a Domain-level battle were still terrifying; even a slight spill of energy could kill a large swarm of snakes.

Or perhaps remnants of skills fall into the town, and ordinary people and contract masters are unable to resist them, turning into ashes silently.

People and snakes are dying in large numbers, except for one town that seems rather strange.

Above Qixia Town and Qixia Mountain, a somewhat transparent dome appeared. This dome effectively prevented the fog from seeping in and blocked the aftershocks of the battle that had escaped from the aerial battlefield.

It seems that the town has a large number of contract masters, making it the place that attracts the most snake-type source beasts from the Snake Swamp, besides Paper Hawk County.

Large and small snake-like creatures were piled up outside the town's walls, some of them climbing towards Qixia Mountain.

The contract masters guarding the walls of Qixia Town suppressed their fear and nausea as they launched their attacks on the endless swarm of snakes stretching below the walls.

Chu family servants walked back and forth on the city wall, placing a box every so often containing a large amount of "Source Pattern Stones" and "Source Spirit Stones" for free use.

Even with the relentless attacks, only a small number of serpentine source beasts outside the town perished, since most of the contract masters on the city walls were only at the mortal level.

The source beasts outside the city walls are at the Other Rank and the Spirit Rank, a difference of one major rank. It is already difficult for them to cause damage, let alone kill them.

However, the hundreds of guards who had undergone long-term training, as well as the members of three eighth-rank servant families, were able to kill some of the snake-type source beasts.

However, after being killed, the bodies of those serpentine source beasts melted into a pool of black water, exhibiting a terrifying corrosive ability.

The solid, tan land has been transformed into a foul-smelling, muddy swamp.

The "Golden Armor Jade-Eyed Beast" dealt with several more invading snake-type source beasts. Chu Jingyu, who had been carefully observing the environment, noticed this and frowned deeply.

"Pass on my order: halt the attack. Something's wrong with these snakes."

As his command was relayed, the dazzling skills gradually dissipated on the city walls, leaving only various serpentine beasts climbing along the walls and protective barriers.

Fortunately, the "Star Source Guardian" that the Chu family had spent most of their assets to buy in Qianling City was truly effective and could prevent these snakes from entering.

As time passed, town after town perished under the onslaught of the snake horde, and once vibrant towns and villages were transformed into dark and damp snake nests.

In the end, only most of the county town of Paper Kite County and Qixia County, which was protected by a shield, remained.

As more and more people die, or rather, as more and more places turn into snake swamps,

The aura emanating from "Nine Abyss Lord" gradually reached a critical point, as if the limit of his realm would be broken in the next second, and he would successfully advance to the Evolutionary Rank.

On the other hand, Qiao Yinjiao and Wu Yuan, who were fighting against him, were extremely weak, and their four source beasts were covered with various injuries.

Large patches of scales had fallen off the "Scaled Silver Dragon," revealing pink flesh beneath. Its tail was broken off and hung limply.

The "Sea-Mixed Blue Ray" had a blue body that looked as if it had been stained with ink, turning its entire body black.

The "Sky-Splittering Electric Bird" had one wing broken and lay limply on the back of the "Three-Headed Yuechen Mastiff".

The "Three-Headed Yuechen Mastiff" had a bloody hole in its abdomen, and bright red blood was dripping out.

The sheer ferocity of the battle was evident from the injuries sustained by the four source beasts.

However, at this moment, "Nine Abyss Lord" seemed to feel that his promotion was more important and stopped paying attention to these annoying flies.

Instead, he glanced at the places where a large population still lives today: Zhiyao County, which has shrunk by nearly half its original size, and Qixia Town, which is protected by a canopy.

Without much hesitation, it slowly exerted its strength and headed towards the more populated Paper Hawk County.

At the same time, dark light converged from the mouths of the nine snake heads, seemingly intending to wipe out everyone in Paper Kite County in one fell swoop.

Xiao Muchu stood in the Xiao residence, glanced at the obedient child standing to the side, and her eyes showed a look of sorrow.

His palm touched the stone statue.

"Xiao Quan, your father has never had any great ambitions in his life, but by some twist of fate, I have reached the Domain Rank."

I have no interest in power, nor do I enjoy fighting; I only love fortune and treasures. But none of that matters now, because Paper Kite County is doomed.

But your father will do anything to keep you alive.

The child, barely four years old, looked on with bewilderment at his father's words. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Xiao Muchu's clothes.

He awkwardly tried to comfort his father, saying, "Father, don't cry."

Before he knew it, two lines of clear tears had slid down his cheeks.

A faint, seven-colored glow gathered on the stone statue, as if it were about to form a layer of glass to protect Xiao Lingquan.

Xiao Lingquan gripped his father's clothes tightly and said in a childish voice:

"Father, look, it's snowing."
