Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 110 Bizarre Magic Array, Conspiracy in the Nightmare Court?

The possibility that there are experts or monsters hiding in the cave is not very high.

If there really were people or monsters, there's no reason why they wouldn't have appeared during the previous great battle.

But it's better to be safe than sorry...

Chen Fan positioned the Golden Feather Sea Eagle and the Death Spider King, one in front and one behind, to protect everyone.

Chu Xuan also had the Darkblood Stone Golem equip everyone with "Obsidian Armor".

Then, Chen Fan turned his head and winked at the old ape hidden in the "Shadow Sky".

The old ape immediately crept quietly into the cave.

Chen Fan gripped the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt of the sword with his right, ready for battle!

A moment later, the old ape emerged silently: "There are no people or monsters, only a pile of skeletons, a huge magic circle, and a large number of monster corpses."

Chen Fan straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Chen Fan relax, Ye Hao asked softly, "Brother Fan, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Everyone turned to look at Chen Fan.

Before they knew it, everyone regarded Chen Fan as their pillar of support.

Chen Fan said softly, "I had the old ape go in and check it out. It said there were no people or monsters inside, only a pile of skeletons, a huge magic circle, and a large number of monster corpses."

"That being said, we still need to be careful."

"Xiao Hei, you stay outside and keep watch. Let me know immediately if there are any problems."

"Let's go in and take a look!"

After leaving Xiao Hei behind, Chen Fan led Xiao Bai and the others slowly to the cave outside where the Holy Moon Morning Glory had sensed something amiss.

Chu Xuan and Shen Hongxiu, along with their tamed beasts, also followed.

The cave is enormous...

Even a creature of the size of a golden-feathered gyrfalcon, standing at the cave entrance, would appear as if an insect were placed on a gaping maw.

A pungent, hot odor wafted from the cave, causing everyone to cover their mouths and noses.

And this smell was mixed with a strong stench of blood!

Shen Daodao frowned, her eyes darting around, and whispered, "You guys go in, I'll keep watch outside for you."

Ye Hao sneered, "Brother Fan, this kid's a coward. He's so scared he won't even go into the cave. Besides, he's planning to steal the monsters' cores while we're inside... He might even go and drain the Blood Petal Flower King's blood!"

Shen Daodao's face paled, and she said angrily, "How dare you slander me out of thin air? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Everyone nodded.

Shen Daodao: "..."

There's a sense of loneliness, like being abandoned by everyone.

Chen Fan nudged Shen Daodao in the stomach with the hilt of his knife: "You go first and scout ahead for us."

Shen Daodao was furious: "Why should I?!"

Walking at the very front is definitely the most dangerous.

If you encounter a monster, the one at the very front will naturally be the most unlucky.

Shen Daodao refused to do it.

But everyone stared at him silently, without saying a word.

Feeling guilty, Shen Daodao looked at Shen Hongxiu with pleading eyes.

Shen Hongxiu smiled sweetly: "I'll listen to your brother-in-law."

"..." A vein throbbed on Chen Fan's forehead.

This woman is too much for most people to handle.

Helpless, Shen Daodao gripped his longsword tightly and walked to the front with a mournful face.

Ye Hao followed behind, occasionally tossing a moonstone to him.

Under the soft glow of the moonstone, even though the cave was scorching hot, Shen Daodao felt a chill run through her body.

After walking slowly for more than ten minutes...

The space ahead suddenly opened up.

A spacious open space, like a large hall, appeared before everyone.

As everyone saw the scene before them through the light of the moonstone, they all gasped in shock...

In the very center of the "hall" ahead, piles of white bones were stacked like a mountain, surrounding a strange obelisk that was more than three meters tall and completely black!

Those skeletons were of all shapes and sizes, and some were even larger than others.

There are the skeletons of ferocious beasts, the bodies of alien races, and many human skulls.

On the ground, trenches were dug out by sharp tools, forming a strange magic circle.

Blood was still gushing out of the trench!

And that strange obelisk is located right in the middle of the magic circle!

The completely black obelisk was surrounded by eerie black mist, and countless tadpole-like runes were engraved on it, flickering with a ghostly light, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

To the right of the group, hundreds of monster corpses were piled up like a mountain!

A chilling wind blew, as if someone was weeping, murmuring, or a monster was howling...

Despite being clad in protective armor against the cold, everyone felt a chill that seeped into their bones!

This "hall" feels like a demonic gate leading to hell!

It is terrifying, it makes one's soul tremble!

"Chen...Chen Fan, let's...let's...go out..."

Shen Daodao, with a long face, lowered his voice and said, "That's fucking terrifying!"

"I felt... something just touched my ear!"

Ye Hao was startled. He picked up his axe and looked around, like a frightened bird.

Chu Xuan and Shen Hongxiu, on the other hand, remained unusually calm.

Chen Fan didn't speak, but gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and slowly walked to the edge of the magic circle.

That's so strange...

Faced with such a bizarre and terrifying scene, he actually felt a little excited!

He couldn't explain what that feeling was like.

But there was a strange sense of familiarity, just like when I killed someone in the black ant forest...

Having never killed anyone before, he acted swiftly and decisively, and even felt a strange sense of excitement!

What exactly is going on?

Suddenly, Shen Hongxiu stepped forward and said, "This magic array seems incomplete..."

Ye Hao said, "It's normal that it's incomplete. We arrived while those two men in black robes were making things up, so they probably stopped."

"That's not what I meant." Shen Hongxiu shook her head and said, "This magic array alone is actually quite complete. What I mean is... this magic array seems to be only a part of a huge magic array."

Chu Xuan's expression shifted: "You mean, there might be similar magic arrays in other areas of this first secret realm, and many of these arrays with obelisks could be combined to form a large array?"

"Not bad!" Shen Hongxiu nodded slightly.

Ye Hao was taken aback: "They...do they intend to overturn this entire First Secret Realm? The First Secret Realm is so vast. Although it's now designated as a secret realm, Donghai City has explored it for so many years and still hasn't fully explored it!"

"What exactly are they trying to do?"

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly: "I think I've found a reason for the Wind Wolves' attack on us in the Wind Riding Canyon..."

Everyone looked at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan said quietly, "Back then, the Wind Wolf King of the Wind Riding Canyon was corrupted by demonic power and then attacked us with his wind wolves. We were all baffled by it."

"Later, Chu Xuan guessed that the mastermind behind it all was trying to delay our entry into the first secret realm."

"But we are also completely baffled as to why they are delaying our entry into the first secret realm."

"Why would a group of students who are just undergoing trials on the outskirts of the secret realm be targeted?"

"What's the point of delaying the trial for a group of students?"

"Now, connecting the events of Wind Riding Canyon with this magic array makes sense..."

Chu Xuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "What are they planning in this secret realm? They want to set up this kind of large formation in many places within the secret realm."

"Some of these locations are very likely within the trial area!"

"So, after learning that students from the War God Academy were coming for the trials, they sent people to cause some trouble in the Wind Riding Canyon!"

"The teachers discovered that the Wind Wolf King had been corrupted by a demon, so they made us wait in the Wind Riding Canyon for over half an hour until powerful experts from East Sea City arrived before we could set off again!"

The group exchanged glances, all of them taken aback.

If Chu Xuan and Chen Fan's guesses are true, wouldn't that mean there are people from the Nightmare Court in many places within this first secret realm?

This group of people not only had a level 16 Golden Feather Sea Eagle, but also a level 12 Death Spider King. They had narrowly escaped death in their previous battle.

If the other students of the War God Academy were to encounter people from the Nightmare Court, wouldn't they be doomed?

Shen Hongxiu comforted them, "The desert eagles are extremely fast. Hopefully, they can react immediately after receiving the information and take appropriate measures..."

Ye Hao looked at Chen Fan and said, "Whatever they're planning, it can't be anything good."

"Brother Fan, should we destroy this magic array first?"

Shen Daodao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what if this great formation is fully activated? Wouldn't we be completely enveloped within it, at their mercy?"

Chu Xuan reached out to stop him, saying, "This magic array is not yet fully completed, nor has it been truly activated. There's no need to rush."

"The best solution is to wait for the powerful experts sent from Donghai City!"

Chen Fan nodded: "Let's wait a little longer."

It only took Shen Hongxiu and her group half an hour to get to the ring mountain via the shortcut.

The group from Class 5 returned via the shortcut given by Shen Daodao, and now Li Sheng and the others must also know about that shortcut.

The experts from Donghai City are definitely much faster than Shen Hongxiu and her group.

If you have a flying beast, the speed will be even faster.

There's no need to wait too long.

Chen Fan told his tamed beasts to step back, and then walked to the place where there was a pile of monster corpses.

Shen Hongxiu and the others followed.

After glancing at them a few times, Chu Xuan said, "These monsters include Blood Petal Flower Demons, Flame Demons, Demon Tyrannosaurus Rex, and various other monsters that are not found in the crater."

"They likely transported monsters they killed elsewhere to this location."

Shen Hongxiu nodded and said, "Magic arrays basically require monster crystal cores. They probably want to use all the monster crystal cores and blood on the magic array... Look, some of the monsters' heads have already been dug out."

"And on that magic array, a few crystal cores have already been sparsely nested inside!"

Chen Fan touched the corpses of several monsters, his hands stained with a lot of blood: "Many of the monster corpses are still warm, with fresh blood still flowing. They haven't been dead for long."

Shen Daodao, who had just been panicking, became excited again upon seeing the mountain of monster corpses: "Have you noticed something... these monster corpses seem to be enormous!"

"Look at the corpse of that Blood Petal Flower Demon in front of Chu Xuan. It's the same size as the level 9 Blood Petal Flower Demon we killed on the way here!"

"Could it be that all these monsters are level 8 or 9 or higher?"

陈凡扫了一眼这些怪物尸体，微微点了点头：「确实很多8级9级的怪物，10级11级的也有，但多数都是6、7级。」

As he spoke, Chen Fan grabbed one of the monster's legs and pulled it out of the pile of corpses.

It was a monster that was pure white, with a head like a lion's head, but with a pair of sharp horns.

"Lightblade Blood Lion?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the monster's corpse that Chen Fan had pulled out.

Ye Hao said with a somewhat strange expression, "The Lightblade Blood Lion should live in the Eversong Forest, right? The Eversong Forest is quite far from here... and it's an extremely dangerous area, with many level 15 and 16 monsters!"

"Could it be that this Light Blade Blood Lion...?"

Shen Daodao stepped forward, his hands forming a sword shape to cover his eyes, then he coldly shouted, "Heaven's way is Qian, Earth's law is Kun, Humanity and Demon are separated into two realms. Open your eyes and see the true form!"

"..." Chu Xuan and Ye Hao glanced at Shen Daodao speechlessly.

For the past few years, they have regarded Shen Daodao as their rival.

Now, both of them feel like they've been blind to the truth.

What's most infuriating is that both of their beast taming skills are still at level 5.

But Shen Daodao already has a level 6 Dragonblood Lion!

"Sigh!" Shen Hongxiu rolled her eyes and sighed.

Chen Fan grinned and said, "That's right, practice makes perfect... Can you tell what level of monster this is?"

Shen Daodao was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I can tell, level 16!"

Chu Xuan and Ye Hao: "..."

"..." Chen Fan was also taken aback.

The Blood Lion Blade he just summoned was indeed level 16!

Are you kidding me? A spell I learned from TV actually made Shen Daodao see the light?

Seeing Chen Fan's expression, Ye Hao leaned closer and whispered, "Brother Fan, is it really level 16? This spell... really works?"

"Hehe, hahahahaha!" Shen Daodao burst into laughter. "I didn't see it at all, I just made it up on the spot, and you actually believed me?"

"A bunch of idiots!"

Chen Fan and Ye Hao stepped forward, grabbing Shen Daodao from either side and giving him a thorough beating, leaving Shen Daodao with tears in his eyes: "I just thought the atmosphere here was too scary, can't I even ease the tension a little?"

Shen Hongxiu leaned closer again, her hair brushing against Chen Fan's face twice, and murmured, "Fan, if you've figured it out, just say it, okay?"

"What level of monster is this?"

Chen Fan put on a stern face.

This woman is getting more and more demanding!

I used to call him Xiao Fan.

Now they don't even use small print anymore!

Chen Fan coldly shouted, "The Heavenly Way is Qian, the Earthly Law is Kun, and the Human and Demonic Realms are separated. Open your eyes and see the true form!"

As he spoke, he plunged the dagger in his hand into the head of the Blood Lion with the Light Blade on the ground and dug out the crystal core.

He then examined the patterns on the crystal core carefully, nodded, and said, "Hmm, the incantation has taken effect, my Heavenly Eye is open, I see clearly, this is a level 16 Light Blade Blood Lion!"

Everyone: "..."

Shen Daodao said with a dark face, "After digging out the crystal core, I know it's level 16... Holy crap! Level 16? There really is a level 16 monster here?!"

The others immediately widened their eyes as well!

Among this group of monsters, there are actually level 16 monsters?

I've struck it rich...

Even Chu Xuan, who had been expressionless the whole time, couldn't help but be moved at this moment.

Shen Daodao grabbed Chen Fan's arm: "Chen Fan, didn't you promise to give me the corpses and cores of two level 9 monsters?"

"How about this? I don't want the level 9 monster corpse and its core anymore. Just give me this level 16 core, okay?"

"Get out!" Chen Fan pushed Shen Daodao away: "Let's all work together and dig out the crystal cores of these monsters first."

"As for these monster corpses... drag the corpses of monsters level 8 and above outside."

"Check the corpses of monsters below level 8 for any valuable parts. If you find any, cut them off and bring them back."

"Let's get the statistics sorted out when we get back, then we can talk about the distribution... Shen Daodao, don't you dare hide anything! If I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Xiao Bai, keep an eye on him for me. If he dares to hide anything, shock him with electricity! Shock him until he's half-dead!"

Xiao Bai immediately ran over and grinned at Shen Daodao.

Gangzi also ran over and stared at Shen Daodao's thighs.

Shen Daodao felt a chill down her groin and was startled. She remembered the time when Gangzi bit Ji Polong's thigh and wouldn't let go at the War God Academy, and how Gangzi used the "Amethyst Thrust" to deliver a Thousand Years of Kill to that black-robed woman...

Honey badger is much scarier than Ragdoll cat.

Shen Daodao was very sad: "Why don't you talk about them, only about me? You even had the beasts watch over me... What about the trust between people? Do you think I, Shen Daodao, am that kind of person?!"

"You are." Everyone nodded in unison.

Shen Daodao felt wronged: "You guys just know how to bully honest people!"

A group of people immediately got to work and dug out the crystal cores from the heads of the monsters.

There were at least a hundred monster corpses piled up like a small mountain!

There are a total of 5 level 16 monsters!

There were as many as 12 level 15 monsters!

As everyone was taking stock of the monster crystals, Chen Fan couldn't help but take out the "Beast-Catching Ring" from his pocket.

The beasts tamed by those two men in black robes were only level 10.

If those two people killed all those level 15 and 16 monsters, then they must have used this "beast trap"!

Even a powerful gyrfalcon like the Golden Feather Sea Eagle was powerless to resist and was immediately imprisoned...

I need to take this back and study it carefully!

Just then, Xiao Hei's voice rang in Chen Fan's mind: "People from Donghai City have arrived, a lot of them. I recognize two of them as your homeroom teachers, and the little fat guy Xiao Hei is the dean of students."

Li Sheng and the Dean of Students both came?
