Eternal Beast Taming Family

The journey back to the border was not peaceful either. Halfway there, for some unknown reason, the journey ended.

Chu Jingyu was being watched by a giant eagle circling in the sky, even though its cultivation level was only at the mid-level of the Otherworldly Rank.

However, due to the lack of cover and the giant eagle's ability to fly, it took quite a while to drive it away, and Chu Jingyu's arm was even injured by the wind blades.

Outside the realm of power, realm of skill often does not determine the outcome of a battle. Temporary reaction ability, the timing of skill execution, and the surrounding environment can all have a fatal impact.

Because of the giant eagle's interference, it was already afternoon when they returned to the border.

As they got closer to the border, the number of people around them gradually increased. Although Chu Jingyu seemed to have gained a lot, few people paid any attention to him.

Because at this time, the original giant forest at the edge of the city wall had turned into ashes and dust, and even the city wall marked with special runes had many uneven pits.

Chu Jingyu carefully circled around a meteorite crater in front of him, wondering if the giant bird had also unleashed a wave of skills here.

Fortunately, the city walls still stand, and it seems that the human realm has not been greatly affected.

Chu Jingyu touched the three eggs in front of and behind him and quickened his pace toward the city wall.

He quickly climbed the bumpy, gentle slope back into the realm, with the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" leisurely following behind him. The aura it released without reservation suppressed the strange thoughts that arose in the hearts of those around it.

Near the entrance, a long queue had formed. Chu Jingyu turned his questioning gaze to the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" beside him.

After a moment, a scene entered Chu Jingyu's mind.

At each entrance to the city wall, the number of guards increased to eight, and a strange sheep with wide, curved horns and four horizontal pupils carefully observed each contractor entering the city.

Every now and then, at the strange sheep's direction, someone would be led into a building on the city wall, seemingly for a more thorough inspection.

Chu Jingyu frowned. When he left the boundary, he had looked towards the entrance but had not seen this scene before.

Could all of this be due to the influence of that giant bird that can only cause a rain of meteorites and fire?

Anyway, he had nothing to do with that giant bird. Once he figured that out, Chu Jingyu calmed down and lined up properly.

Perhaps it was the overwhelming aura of the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" that caused the person in front of Chu Jingyu to push forward desperately, trying to increase the distance between them.

The same was true behind him; a burly man with a monkey slung over his shoulder stood at least ten meters away from Chu Jingyu.

Despite the long distance, not a single person tried to cut in line.

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Jingyu chuckled and stood silently for a while until the person in front of him had walked a considerable distance with the group before maintaining that distance and silently following the group forward.

At the front of the line was a somewhat thin-looking young man who gave Chu Jingyu a grateful smile.

The procession moved quickly, and soon it was Chu Jingyu's turn.

The guards on both sides saw the unfamiliar source beast beside Chu Jingyu. Although they had never seen it before, they could sense from its overflowing aura that it was at least a mid-level alien beast.

Therefore, their attitude was far better than that of other mortal-level contract masters.

The strange sheep with its coiled horns and four pupils saw the three snake eggs in front of and behind Chu Jingyu, and its eyes clearly revealed a different kind of light.

Its hooves lightly tapped the ground twice, indicating that Chu Jingyu needed to enter the adjacent building for a thorough inspection. This action instantly caused the guards nearby to turn bitter, and they exchanged glances.

A man stepped out from the far right and bowed to Chu Jingyu, saying, "I apologize for the intrusion. The county is conducting a thorough investigation of every contract practitioner with questionable practices. I would appreciate your cooperation, sir."

When Chu Jingyu saw the strange sheep's movements, his heart sank. Now that the guard had said this, a thought flashed through his eyes, wondering what was wrong with him.

He showed no emotion on his face, simply replying gently, "Of course."

Then, following one of the guards, they walked into a building on the side.

Seeing that he cooperated obediently, the remaining guards breathed a sigh of relief. Although if someone broke the rules, a higher-ranking guard would deal with it, who would they complain to if they died in the conflict?

Upon entering the adjacent building, the light dimmed instantly, and the room was not decorated in any particular way.

There was only one long table for each person, and some strangely shaped source beast eggs that were not recognizable.

Chu Jingyu's heart sank to the bottom; it turned out they were after the egg.

The person sitting behind the table was also an old man. When he saw Chu Jingyu walk in, he was first surprised that the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" beside him was actually of the upper-level of the different rank.

His stern face relaxed slightly, and he bowed slightly to Chu Jingyu, saying, "I am Chen Kesong, a guest of the Huo family, a seventh-rank noble family in Zhiyao County."

While the old man was sizing up Chu Jingyu, Chu Jingyu was also sizing him up, and could tell at a glance that his cultivation level was in the middle of the different ranks.

Chu Jingyu also cupped his hands in return, "Chu Jingyu, from the Chu family, a ninth-rank humble family in Heyu Town."

Chen Kesong's expression changed slightly. He was also from a prominent family, but only from a lowly ninth-rank family. Hearing the name of a seventh-rank prestigious family, he should not be ungrateful.

After all, a seventh-rank aristocratic family is like a king in a county town.

"I am also conducting this investigation under orders from my family. May I take a look at those source beast eggs in Mr. Chu's possession?"

As Chu Jingyu untied his bundle, he asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly checking the source beast eggs?"

Perhaps it was Chu Jingyu's cooperative attitude that made Chen Kesong willing to talk more, or perhaps it was just his personality all along; Chen Kesong answered naturally:

"Last night, didn't the Three Flame Star Domain Birds attack the border of our Paper Hawk County? I heard they lost some kind of bird egg, which is the egg of a Domain-level Source Beast, priceless. So the main family is very concerned and wants to find this egg."

So that's how it is. Chu Jingyu now understood why the giant bird, no, the "Three Flame Starfield Bird," had gone berserk and even attacked the borders of human territory.

Chu Jingyu placed the bundle containing the snake eggs on the table, then gently unwrapped the cloth, revealing three snake eggs covered with a layer of pink crystal powder.

"Then take a look, these three eggs of mine shouldn't be the eggs of that Three-Flame Starfield Bird, right?"
