Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Mu lay inside the stone book, helplessly shrugging his shoulders in response to Chu Qinhui's prayers. He truly couldn't help him.

Of course, he sincerely hoped that Chu Jingyu could return safely. It was just a pity that the Chu family didn't have enough time to develop, so Chu Mu only became the Chu family's source weapon for a little over three months.

The Chu family has encountered so many troubles. I just hope that this time, like the Liu family last time, it won't affect the Chu family.

……

When Chu Jingyu arrived at the town mayor's mansion with the two elders, the Shi and Zhang families, who lived in the town, had already arrived.

It was clear that the atmosphere within the group was quite solemn. Even the two groups were standing rather far apart, as if they didn't come from the same family.

Chu Jingyu understood; both families had hired people and didn't want their own family members to take risks.

However, compared to the two older employees Chu Jingyu hired, most of the people he hired were young contract masters. It was unclear what benefits they had been promised to make these young contract masters take such a big risk.

"Everyone's here, let's go."

Tang Cheng waved slightly, and more than twenty heavily armed guards marched out of the town mayor's mansion and stood behind Tang Cheng. Although there were only more than twenty people, they exuded the aura of a thousand troops.

A tiger-like source beast appeared in front of Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng straddled it.

Then he slowly walked towards the street leading out of the boundary.

Tang Cheng was at the front, followed closely by the guards, with the Zhang, Shi, and Chu families at the very back.

This procession of nearly a hundred people marched in a grand procession along the cobblestone road, drawing the attention of the common people and contract masters on the roadside, who whispered among themselves about what important matter this group of contract masters was about to undertake.

Amidst the murmurs, the procession arrived at the street guarded by security personnel.

Upon seeing Tang Cheng at the head of the procession, the guards immediately made way, allowing Tang Cheng to lead the group in.

After walking a distance into the street, Chu Jingyu looked at the magnificent vortex portal leading to the outside world, and his heart became increasingly calm.

As the group slowly crossed the gate, the aura of the outer wilderness instantly enveloped each contractor.

Standing atop the long, seemingly endless city wall, Chu Jingyu could see nearly a hundred figures floating in the void outside the wall.

As everyone knows, only Spirit-Rank Contract Masters possess the ability to levitate. This suggests that most of the Spirit-Rank Contract Masters in Paper Hawk County have gathered here.

On the city walls, standing densely packed were low-level contract masters who had been summoned by order.

Moreover, new contractors are constantly arriving at the city walls from within the vortex portal.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the entire sky above the city wall was covered with brightly colored paint, like an oil painting, instantly resembling a canvas scribbled on by a child unfolding above all the contract masters.

A terrifying and oppressive aura instantly enveloped the hearts of all the contract masters present, replacing the thousands of different colored threads that were slowly dripping from the canvas of the sky.

These threads slowly descended through the air, landing three feet above the heads of each contractor, like divine swords of punishment about to fall, watching each contractor with restless intent.

"This is the Colored Ink Silk, serving as the supervisor for your mission beyond the boundary. If anyone dares to disobey orders, it will only take a gentle fall, and your lives will be utterly destroyed."

It's like some kind of voice transmission relying on a source beast. You can't see where the speaker is, but the voice sounds like it's right next to your ear.

Upon hearing this, a commotion broke out among the ranks standing on the city wall, with some even shouting:

"I'm not going. I'll refund your money."

A voice from the void sighed softly, "It's too late to quit now."

The ink-colored threads that had been above the person who had spoken fell lightly down, and the person tried to dodge to the side.

However, the colorful threads remained close to him, even when his source beast was summoned to provide him with a seemingly sturdy shield.

With a soft "plop" sound, the figure who had just been speaking was now lying silently on the ground with his source beast.

Then, under the watchful eyes of many, he and his source beast slowly melted into a ball of colorful ink, flying backwards into the ink painting in the sky.

"Anyone else who doesn't want to participate? You can say so now, so we don't have to kill them off one by one later, which is quite troublesome."

The voice spoke lightly, but the killing intent within it was not concealed in the slightest.

Silence fell on the city wall. After a moment, the voice rang out again, "Today, you have only one task."

Once you leave the city walls, kill every single source beast you see that is not bound by a human contract.

The ink strands on your heads will guide you on where to go.

Chu Jingyu raised his head and glanced at the ink thread floating above his head. It was about the length of his palm. The one above his head was formed by the intertwining of three colors: blue, green, and gray.

About ten minutes later, the voice sounded again.

"Set off."

Then the ink thread slowly fell down, floating in front of everyone, and then the upper half curved and pointed out of the city.

As expected, it guided the way. Chu Jingyu did not make any special movements, but followed the pace of the group, walking down the gentle slope and landing on a patch of dark, dusty ground.

More than a month ago, the "Three Flames Starfield Bird" still had an impact on this forest outside the city, and there were still no new plants growing on the ground.

The black ash that rises gently with the slightest step makes the area appear lonely and desolate.

After creating a slight distance between himself and the others, Chu Jingyu summoned the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast," allowing it to coat himself with a layer of "Golden Jade Armor."

Then hide it underground, exploring the surrounding environment while remaining vigilant against potential dangers.

Xu Yinghui and Chen Feng, another elder recruited by the Chu family, followed Chu Jingyu at a distance, as if only in this way could they, who had not been to the outside world much, feel a little bit of security.

The initial stretch of the road was quite safe, since the ground was bare with no trees or any obstructions, and there were no source beasts hunting or foraging in this place.

During this time, Chu Jingyu looked up and silently observed the spirit-level contract masters in the sky. They were scattered haphazardly above the heads of all the contract masters on the ground, and they moved slowly forward with the large group.

The group advanced for half an hour, and finally, plants appeared ahead, just a step away. The trees were exceptionally green, without any trace of flames.

There was no transition; it was as if we had directly crossed into another space.

However, it is possible that the human race's mobilization this time was too great, as they still did not encounter any source beasts after entering the Moonlit Forest.

The canvas of the sky spread throughout the entire Moonlit Forest as the human race marched on.

This is an invasion, a provocation against all the source beasts in the entire Moonlit Forest.

Seemingly enraged by the humans' actions, or perhaps merely to defend its territory, a bright moon slowly rose deep within the Moonlit Forest, its radiant light blocking the light that continued to spread into the depths of the forest.

Chu Jingyu squinted, as if he saw a bird spreading its wings in the moonlight.

A shrill voice rang out, "Humans, do you intend to wage war against our Sunken Moon Forest?"
