Eternal Beast Taming Family

Granny Han took a light step, and the surrounding mist seemed to brighten slightly. The butterfly fish fluttered its wings and came to her side.

A phantom, semi-transparent fish-shaped light and shadow shot up from behind her, its interior containing extremely bright points and lines of light, connected like stars.

A clear, ethereal cry pierced through the mist and carried on.

Almost instantly, the illusory giant fish crashed into the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" that was trying to retreat.

There were no spectacular light effects or any loud noises.

Without a sound, the many terrifying heads on the back of the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" seemed to be corroded by something, turning into layers of powder and falling off its back.

The aura of the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" visibly weakened. Those heads were the greatest reliance of its spiritual tentacles, and now they were all dissolved, and even its realm might fall.

However, the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" has no time to worry about those heads now, as its own life is in danger.

"What level of cultivation are you at?"

"Oh? Still haven't found out?" Granny Han chuckled softly. "It seems you don't have many Rank-Derived Source Beasts in this Serpent Swamp!"

Chu Shengyuan licked his lips. This Granny Han was indeed a contract master of the Derivation Rank. He just didn't know whether her level was higher or lower than his teacher's.

The "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" lowered its body, passed through the fire layer, and stuck to the dried-up swamp ground.

But the illusory giant fish showed no sign of letting it go, closing in closely, and the scales on the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent began to crumble.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent," and its body began to dissipate into a thick mist, attempting to escape the suppression and leave this dangerous place.

However, due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, its plan failed. Instead, the mist that had been released became even more condensed after being swallowed by the large fish.

For the first time, "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" revealed an emotion called despair.

"What do you want here?" The hoarse voice rang out again, seemingly tinged with fear.

With a gentle lift of her hand, Granny Han caused the illusory giant fish, which was gradually descending, to cease its attack.

"Has anything unusual happened in your Misty Snake Swamp lately?" Granny Han did not directly mention the kite.

A thoughtful look appeared in the eyes of the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent".

"A few days ago, a serpent king from our territory led a large army to the outside world, but he died there."

This caused the fog in the snake swamp to dissipate somewhat, but also resulted in the loss of most of the snakes within the swamp.

Chu Shengyuan and the others knew that the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent was referring to the "Nine Abyss Lord" incident from last time, but that was not what they wanted to know.

Granny Han's figure descended slightly, arriving before the snake's head.

"You know that's not what I want to know. How many Rank-Derived Source Beasts are there in this Serpent Swamp?"

"I...I don't know. I only know that I have only seen two of them. I don't know if there are more, but I suppose...I suppose there are. I have never ventured beyond the border of this snake swamp."

Granny Han's expression also revealed a hint of heaviness. If there were many Origin Beasts of the Derivative Rank in this Snake Swamp, she would have to seriously consider whether to continue to venture deeper.

Not taking the princess into danger was the most basic requirement the "True King of the Sea" had for her, and she could not easily take risks.

Just as she was pondering this, Chu Shengyuan let out a soft exclamation.

"Granny Han, look under the 723rd scale on the back of its neck, isn't there something special there?"

Upon hearing Chu Shengyuan's words, Granny Han did not inquire about the reason. Instead, she went to the back of the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent's head, and the large fish released a slight amount of energy.

The scales on its neck fell off like snowflakes, revealing the bright red flesh beneath.

The thing Chu Shengyuan was talking about was revealed in the pink flesh and blood of the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent's nape.

A tiny origami, no bigger than a human palm, was embedded in flesh and blood.

Compared to the enormous size of the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent, the origami was indeed as insignificant as a single strand of hair.

With a slight bend of her fingers, Granny Han pulled the folded paper away from the flesh and blood of the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent.

Only then did the four of them see the full picture of the origami. It was roughly the shape of a paper crane, very small, but folded with exquisite skill.

As it detached itself from the flesh and blood of the Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent, the spiritual light on its body seemed to be no longer suppressed, and it gradually returned to its lively state, as if it had come to life.

"Source Beast: Paper Crane (Paper Kite Clan)"

Equal level: Lower domain level

Qualification: Extraordinary

Status: In recovery phase, undergoing spiritual awakening.

Attribute Tendencies: Paper, Rules

Skill: 1. Spirit of Dao: Allows domain-type skills to generate unique Dao principles, greatly reducing the threshold for domain-level beings to break through to the Dao level.

2. Spirit of Paper: It condenses thousands of origami pieces that resemble its own body and completely hides its aura within them.

3. Paper-like World (Domain): Transforms the surrounding landscape into paper-like form; with prolonged erosion, this state can be permanently solidified.

The legendary paper kite has finally reappeared, but it is very different from what Chu Shengyuan imagined. The paper kite is not a kind of source beast, but a race?

Moreover, this was the first time Chu Shengyuan had ever seen such a special source beast. As a high-level source beast of the domain rank, it only had three skills.

One is the "Spirit of Dao Transformation," coveted by other source beasts or contract masters, which can lower the threshold for breaking through to the Dao Transformation rank.

One is the "Spirit of Paper," which seems to be the fundamental reason for the birth of their species.

One is "Paper World", which seems to be a standard for a Domain-level Source Beast to possess a domain.

In a sense, these source beasts seem to be a race that was created to serve as some kind of auxiliary tool.

Chu Shengyuan didn't know if this idea was right or wrong, but he just couldn't suppress it.

After regaining its sentience, the "paper crane" seemed to sense the strangeness around it. Paper cranes began to condense around it and hide among them. Suddenly, countless paper cranes flew out in different directions.

However, Granny Han was prepared. The butterfly fish once again fluttered its wings slightly, and countless points of light emanated from its body, then accurately hit each of the "paper cranes" that appeared, causing them to quickly disappear.

In the end, only the true form of the "paper crane" remained.

The wings of the "Thousand Paper Crane" trembled slightly, and the surrounding mist, light and shadow, and spirituality seemed to harden, becoming as if they were solidified like paper.

However, before its domain could fully expand, it was suppressed by the surrounding points of light.

These points of light eventually formed a sphere-like cage around the "origami crane," firmly confining it within.

At the same time, a palm-sized iron cage appeared in Granny Han's hand, and her gaze turned eerily towards the "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent."

"Go in, and you'll live; don't go in..."

The "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" was shrewd. Before Granny Han could finish speaking, it lowered its head and crawled into the cage.

The cage must have been inscribed with spatial abilities. The "Thousand-Headed Nightmare Serpent" suddenly shrank by nearly several thousand times before crawling into the cage through the opening.

Seeing it climb inside, Granny Han flipped her hand, and the cage vanished from her grasp.

At this moment, Chu Shengyuan and Nan Li approached and carefully examined the "paper cranes" inside the sphere of light.

As Granny Han watched the "paper cranes" thrashing around inside the sphere of light, she said in a cryptic tone:

"It turns out that the kite clan has never disappeared; they were simply hidden away by someone with great care."
