Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 254 A trusted confidant intercepts the journey; the fierce battle begins.

A powerful aura suddenly appeared at the end of the passage. The aura was strong and oppressive, like a mountain blocking our way, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

I stopped abruptly, gripped the dagger tightly, and whispered to Su Yao, "Be careful, someone's there..."

Before the words were finished, a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

He was dressed in a long black robe, with a cold and stern face and eyes as sharp as a hawk's. He exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

He wore a jade pendant with intricate carvings at his waist, clearly indicating his distinguished status.

“Gadolin Beast Tamer!” I recognized him at a glance—the Dark Lord’s confidant, the infamous Beast Tamer Master!

My heart sank, and a chill ran from my feet to the top of my head. We've been discovered! Almost the instant I recognized him, the Beastmaster moved.

His speed was astonishing; he was almost a blur, appearing before us in the blink of an eye. A longsword gleamed coldly in his hand, its blade pointed directly at my throat.

I didn't have time to react; I could only instinctively hold the dagger across my chest.

With a loud clang, a tremendous force struck, making my hand go numb and nearly causing me to drop the dagger.

Su Yao reacted extremely quickly. The moment I was knocked back, she flashed and stood in front of me.

Her spear moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying a sharp gust of wind, and thrust straight at the beast tamer's chest.

"Overestimating yourself!" Gadgetzan sneered, flicking his wrist as his longsword drew an arc, easily blocking Su Yao's attack.

I staggered back a few steps, regaining my balance, and was secretly shocked. The strength of the Beast Tamer far exceeded my expectations; with just one move, he had driven Su Yao and me into a desperate situation.

We were completely suppressed!

The Beastmaster gave us no chance to breathe. His figure was as elusive as a ghost, and his longsword was wielded with impenetrable speed. Every attack was filled with a sharp killing intent, as if he wanted to tear us to pieces.

Su Yao and I stood back to back, desperately trying to fend off the attacks of the Gadolin Beastmaster.

I directed the Star Spirit Sable and Treasure Rat to harass him from the side, hoping to distract him, but the effect was minimal.

The Gadolin Beastmaster's offensive was like a storm, wave after wave, showing no signs of stopping.

"This can't go on!" I was extremely anxious. My wounds were multiplying and my strength was gradually failing.

Su Yao's condition wasn't much better; her breathing became rapid, and her face gradually turned pale.

Gadgetzan looked at our disheveled state and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"You think you can oppose the Dark Lord? You're delusional!" he said, as the longsword in his hand shone brightly, and an even more powerful aura erupted from his body.

"Prepare to die!" He raised his longsword high, the blade pointing directly at us...

I gripped Su Yao's hand tightly, feeling her trembling body, and whispered, "It seems... we have no choice but to fight to the death..."

The shadow of death loomed over us, but the instinct for survival made me even more alert.

I took a deep breath, staring intently at the Beastmaster, my mind racing, searching for a glimmer of hope. Su Yao gripped my hand tightly, her eyes resolute, silently conveying her strength.

"We can't fight head-on, we have to outsmart them," I quickly said to Su Yao, while summoning the Star Spirit Sable and Treasure-Seeking Rat back to my side.

Su Yao nodded, indicating that she understood. She suppressed her aura, held the spear horizontally in front of her, and assumed a defensive stance.

The Beast Tamer was somewhat surprised to see that we were no longer panicked but had instead calmed down.

He smiled contemptuously: "What? Giving up the fight? If you knew this would happen, why did you..."

Before he could finish speaking, I activated my cheat ability, and a strange power surged into the Star Spirit Sable and the Treasure-Seeking Rat.

They let out excited cries, their bodies swelled up, and their speed increased several times over.

"Go!" I commanded, and the Star Spirit Sable and Treasure-Seeking Rat pounced on the Beastmaster from the left and right sides like arrows released from a bow.

The Star Spirit Sable brandished its sharp claws, creating gusts of wind, while the Treasure-Seeking Rat emitted a shrill cry, interfering with the Beast Tamer's mental energy.

Caught off guard, the beast tamer was thrown off his rhythm by the two beasts. He swung his sword to defend, but was unable to defend against both.

Just then, Su Yao seized the opportunity, her spear moving like a dragon, piercing the air with a whooshing sound, and thrusting straight at the Beastmaster's chest.

"Pfft!" The spear pierced through the beast tamer's protective aura, leaving a deep bloody gash on his chest. The beast tamer roared, a flicker of panic in his eyes.

He didn't expect that we would have such a powerful counterattack.

He clutched his wound, roaring in fury, "Damn it! How dare you hurt me! I'll make you pay!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and a huge black python darted out from behind him, opening its blood-red maw and lunging at Su Yao.

Undeterred, Su Yao brandished her spear and clashed head-on with the giant black python. The spear's edge collided with the python's body, producing a deafening roar.

Taking this opportunity, I commanded the Star Spirit Sable and Treasure-Seeking Rat to continue harassing the Gadget Beastmaster, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

At the same time, I quietly circled around behind the Beastmaster, the dagger in my hand gleaming coldly.

"Die!" I roared, and plunged the dagger into the back of the beast tamer.

The Beastmaster sensed the danger behind him, turned around abruptly, and blocked my attack with his longsword. "Clang!" Sparks flew, and I was knocked back several steps.

The strength of the Gadolin Beastmaster is indeed formidable; even injured, he is not so easy to deal with.

He grinned maliciously at me, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Kid, you've got some nerve! But do you think you can defeat me like this? You're too naive!"

As he spoke, he brandished his longsword once more, his attacks becoming even more ferocious. I could barely parry, my heart filled with anxiety. The battle between Su Yao and the black giant python had also reached a stalemate.

Although Su Yao's attacks were fierce, the black python's defense was extremely high, making it difficult to break through in a short time. This won't do; we must find a breakthrough as soon as possible!

While fending off the attacks of the Gadolin Beastmaster, I observed my surroundings, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, I noticed a tightly closed stone door behind the Beast Tamer.

That stone door... could it be...? A thought suddenly struck me, and a bold plan formed in my mind.

"Su Yao, cover me!" I shouted, and in a flash, I rushed towards the stone gate.

The Beast Tamer seemed to realize my intention. His expression changed, and he shouted sharply, "Stop him!" The black python immediately abandoned its entanglement with Su Yao and turned to chase after me.

I gritted my teeth and increased my speed to the maximum. Before the black python could catch up with me, I pushed open the stone door... A chilling aura rushed out. I stepped inside, and the stone door slammed shut behind me.

"Nong Yu!" Su Yao's exclamation came from outside the door, followed by the sounds of fierce fighting.

I stood in the darkness, sensing the eerie atmosphere around me, and thought to myself: I hope my gamble was right... I groped my way along the wall, slowly moving forward... There seemed to be something carved on the cold stone wall...
