Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

Chapter 96 The Ten Origin Beasts

What quietly appeared in the room was an ordinary-looking fitting mirror.

It stood beside Zhu Ran, forming a corner with the Broken-winged Frost Butterfly and the Beast-head Chain.

The simple, dark frames were devoid of any sharpness, while the mirrored surface was clean and bright, clearly reflecting the three people and eight beasts present.

"This is?!"

Crocodile Sister was dumbfounded.

As Zhu Ran had mentioned before, he had already used his second life contract to bind and connect with a certain beast.

Furthermore, this beast's past seems to be rather unusual.

Otherwise, Zhu Ran wouldn't have used the word "once" to express that it had once reached the realm of the King of Beasts and had a glorious history.

But but but—

Crocodile Sister was shocked. In her keen eyes, the "fitting mirror" was covered with cracks from top to bottom and from left to right.

This is a bloodline fracture!

This is no ordinary injury!!

Are all the top students at Chung-Chu University this dissolute?

Ahead were the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly and the Little Tiger.

Behind them are mirror-shaped soldiers and beasts.

Is my classmate really going to get completely obsessed with correcting erroneous patterns?

"Where did this human abduct one of our kind?"

"Mirror shape, ordinary design, what kind of organization is this? Humans can't be stupid or incompetent, right?"

In the beast-fighting camp, the Mountain-Shattering Hammer remained as silent and cold as ever, while the Azure Elephant Staff spoke, its "voice" booming loudly, making the air buzz.

No matter how fast her thoughts raced, she could never grasp that vague answer, and all that remained in her heart was a lingering unease.

"Fuer—Fuer's reaction is not quite normal—"

"Once the game starts, Fu'er won't let irrelevant things happen. Chatting or getting distracted, if done too often, is considered a foul by Fu'er—but now—how could this be—"

His robes trembled with the changing seasons, and his mental state fluctuated intermittently.

Cangxianggun suddenly looked at the dice of fate.

The twelve-sided die, now shrunk to the size of a human fist, stopped spinning, as if it were—frozen?

"Fauer himself got distracted?"

"Who is this mirror?"

The elephant-claw was impatient and searched his memory a second time, but still found nothing.

"Demon King—long time no see—"

"We haven't played games together in ages!"

The Dice of Fate actually greeted everyone in full view of them!

The four-season cassock was astonishing.

This is one of the most notorious and monstrous people in the tribe.

Relying on its special attributes, it dominates among its peers.

The number of people harmed by it is countless. When have you ever heard of it remembering someone's name and exchanging pleasantries with them?

The animal head chain was also stunned.

Even now, from being surrounded by a group of beast kings, to escaping, to encountering the Four Seasons Robe—it remains in a daze, as if in a dream.

And this seemingly invincible Dice of Fate actually knows the same thing as the ancient, nearly rotten Magic Mirror that it recognizes.

"Demon King—this mirror is called Demon King—uh—"

As if lightning illuminated his soul, the Azure Elephant Staff suddenly stirred, its spiritual fluctuations rising and falling like the changing seasons.

Intermittently: "One of the originating beasts of the ancient kingdom, Lord Demon King?"

"What?!"

The animal head chain paled in horror.

It learned most of its information about the old magic mirror from its three older brothers.

For example, it is ever-changing, difficult to kill, and failed to reach S-rank.

However, the three elder brothers only regarded the old magic mirror as an antique. It may have been very powerful in the past, but when it was time to eliminate it, it would obediently leave the game without any pity, let alone respect.

result----

As a result, this Azure Elephant Staff actually said that the Ancient Magic Mirror was one of the origins of the Ancient Kingdom of Soldiers, and respectfully called it "Master".

"Don't you know that the ancient kingdom of war has ten origins?"

With the same look one gives to an idiot, Cangxiang Staff swept over the beast-head chain and said, "Three of them have become cursed weapons, nearly invincible in specific areas."

"Fu'e is one of them, because he has done too many heinous and cruel things that have been done to kill his own kind, and he is no longer respected by us."

"Of the remaining seven, some are dead, and some have mysteriously disappeared—one of them is known as the 'Demon King'!"

"If it were any other weapon beast, I would have some doubts, but since it was Fu'er who spoke, there's no mistake, it must be the Origin Weapon Beast 'Demon King,' one of the oldest beings in the Ancient Kingdom of Weapons!"

These words not only stirred the heartstrings of the Beast Head Chain, but also deeply moved Zhu Ran.

The origins of Master Jing have finally been partially revealed.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a thread appeared, connecting the truth that was about to surface.

"—Who are you? Were we acquainted before?"

Without a deafening sound, the old magic mirror seemed to yawn, its transmission flat and uneventful.

Beside him, Cangxiang's heart pounded with fear.

Fearing that a careless word might ignite a conflict between the two Origin Beasts and wipe out the entire space.

"Let's play a game." The Fate Dice remained silent for a moment, then changed the subject: "Should we bet on big or small?"

"Big." The Old Mirror glanced at the dice and said without hesitation.

"Then I—" Crocodile Sister paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'll choose big too!"

Qin Tao tilted her head and tapped the word "big" with her finger.

"Whoosh"

The dice of fate spun at high speed like a top, with each second feeling like a year, and all the humans and beasts present were completely focused.

Finally, the twelve-sided die came to a stop, showing a score of 11, a high.

"If all winners are selected, each person will be awarded a 'Lucky Dice'."

"boom!"

A small, pale gold die appeared above Zhu Ran's head, with four sides, but the number on it was not visible.

"You can use them at any time, or you can choose to get more lucky dice, fuse and upgrade them before using them."

The dice of fate erased the traces of the first round, and a thirty-second countdown appeared in mid-air. The officer calmly announced, "The second round begins now. You must make your choices simultaneously, and communication is not permitted during this time."

"Will the difficulty increase further?"

Zhu Ran clicked his tongue, then whispered, "Elder Jing, please continue. I'm handing over all the decision-making power to you."

The old magic mirror responded with an "oh," its emotions calm, as if casually agreeing to a trivial pastime, "Then let's play."

Tick ​​tock!

With the countdown in its final second, the word "大" (big) shone brightly in front of Zhu Ran.

Crocodile Sister "Little".

The "largeness" of Qin Tao.

Mountain-Shattering Hammer "Small".

The elephant staff is "small".

The four-season kasaya is "large".

Fate's scattering, its spinning, its stillness.

The die is on a 7, which is still a high!

"We won again!"

Zhu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and received the second lucky die.

On the other hand, the Azure Elephant Staff trembled and its luster dimmed. His heart sank, and he murmured in despair, "Just a little bit more—"

"boom"

Above the heads of Crocodile Sister, Azure Elephant Staff, and Mountain-Shattering Hammer, a black die appeared on each of the three figures.

The black dice also have four sides, but Crocodile Sister's numbers are 1 to 4, while Azure Elephant Staff and Mountain Shattering Hammer are 5 to 8.

"This is the 'Doom Dice.' The higher the number rolled, the more terrifying the curse that will befall you."
