  “Alright.” Meng Qi smiled sweetly at Long Chen. She didn’t know what seasoning he had used, but its flavor was irresistible. She sighed, “If only Wan-er was here.”

  “You two are such good sisters. Even when you eat something good, you think of her. No wonder she treats you so well.” Long Chen smiled.

  “Because Wan-er will also think of me whenever there’s anything good.” Meng Qi smiled back, her eyes turning into crescent moons that were exceptionally moving.

  Long Chen and Meng Qi ate and chatted for a long time in a relaxed manner. They didn’t treat this dangerous region as anything serious.

  Once the two of them were full, they had still only consumed less than one ten-thousandth of the scorpion’s meat.

  Long Chen kept the meat from the two pincers for later, and he also kept its tail.

  There was a poison sack in its tail that was even bigger than a house. Long Chen tested the toxicity of its venom and found that if he just injected a fist-sized amount into a ninth rank Magical Beast, it would definitely die. So this poison sack was definitely a treasure.

  As for the rest of its body, he tossed it into the primal chaos space. Its powerful armored defenses were useless against the black soil, and it quickly dissolved into life energy.

  The Iron Spruce Oaks in the primal chaos space rapidly grew. In just a few breaths, they went from thirty meters to fifteen hundred meters. The entire primal chaos space became flourishing with life.

  “The difference is actually this great? Could it be that there is also a big difference in the bodies of Magical Beasts and sea demons?” Long Chen was startled. The lifeforce of this ninth rank Magical Beast’s body far surpassed his expectations.

  After tidying up, Long Chen and Meng Qi continued onward. Long Chen asked, “What kind of housepets do you want?”

  “I need at least one flying Magical Beast. As for the rest, I like furry ones the most. I like the feeling of their fur, and I feel like they’re cuter,” said Meng Qi, smiling.

  “Oh, how coincidental, we’ve immediately run into a furry fellow!” Long Chen suddenly cried out, because he saw an extremely furry fellow.

  “Scoundrel, I don’t want that one!”

  Meng Qi let out a startled cry when she saw the huge spider Long Chen was looking at. It was also a ninth rank Magical Beast, and it was covered in hair. It was truly furry, but it wasn’t cute at all. It was so malevolent that it gave one goosebumps.

  The huge spider jumped, and its webbing shot toward the two of them. Although the spider was huge, its movements were very nimble and quick. Even Long Chen had no chance to dodge.

  “Flame Barrier.” Long Chen formed hand seals, conjuring a huge shield in front of them. The spider’s webbing was instantly incinerated on contact, and it emitted white smoke.

  “Not good, the smoke is poisonous.” Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed, and he immediately pushed Meng Qi out of the range of the smoke. Her weak body could not block the poison.

  Meng Qi had only just flown out when she unleashed a spiritual net that landed on the spider’s head. It immediately became still, unable to move.

  Seeing that, Long Chen raised his hand. A flame spear pierced the spider’s head, killing it.

  When he tossed the spider into the primal chaos space, Long Chen involuntarily paled and felt a wave of nausea.

  “Are you alright, Long Chen?” Meng Qi hastily came to support him.

  “That spider really was nauseating.” Long Chen took a deep breath before he felt a little better. The poisonous gas contained a smell that made him want to vomit.

  “Let’s keep going.”

  Long Chen and Meng Qi acted more cautiously this time. After an hour’s travel, they encountered a huge leopard. When it saw them, it flashed into motion, arriving in front of them instantly like a phantom.

  “What speed!” Long Chen was shocked. They had only just seen this leopard a hundred miles away, but in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of them, slashing down with its paw.

  “Long Chen, this is the Phantom Storm Leopard! Block it, and I’ll bind it with a slave mark!” shouted Meng Qi. She flew into the air, slowly forming hand seals. A rune gradually formed in front of her.

  Long Chen knew that it would take Meng Qi a certain amount of time to form a slave mark that was effective against a ninth rank Magical Beast.

  BOOM! The land beneath Long Chen exploded as he blocked the Phantom Storm Leopard’s claw with his fist. In terms of power, it wasn’t Long Chen’s match.

  Suddenly, it opened its mouth, and huge wind blades pierced toward them. Each one of them was dozens of meters long, like huge sickles.

  Long Chen hastily shot away, thunder rumbling around him. The wind blades just narrowly missed him.

  They easily tore through the ground, turning any trees or boulders in their path to dust.

  What startled Long Chen was that its wind blades were extremely condensed. Huge gorges hundreds of miles long appeared, and they were all the same width all the way to the end.

  Normally, this kind of wind attack would definitely begin scattering toward the end. Once the wind energy left the body, it couldn’t be controlled.

  But seeing that the Phantom Storm Leopard’s attack could create such a long and straight line, Long Chen smacked his lips. He would definitely have suffered if he had been struck.

  Seeing it once more open its mouth, a light flashed around Long Chen’s body, and he appeared right in front of it, sending a kick into its jaw.

  The Phantom Storm Leopard was kicked high into the air. Long Chen caught its tail. Just this tail was thicker than a house, and he found it difficult to hold.

  Lightning chains grew out of Long Chen’s hands, binding the tail. With a furious roar, he smashed the leopard into the ground.

  BOOM!

  A huge crater appeared on the ground. But the Phantom Storm Leopard’s skin was thick, and it wasn’t injured at all.

  Long Chen had an urge to have Huo Long handle it, but this was to be Meng Qi’s housepet. If he incinerated all its skin and fur, Meng Qi wouldn’t be happy.

  Seeing that it wanted to unleash another attack, Long Chen snorted. His 108,000 original runes shook as he prepared to give it a vicious blow.

  But suddenly, the Phantom Storm Leopard let out a furious roar and fell to the ground, crazily struggling against something.

  Only then did Long Chen see a rune flickering on its head.

  The Phantom Storm Leopard crazily struggled, and it repeatedly rolled along the ground, clawing at the earth.

  There was also a rune shining on Meng Qi’s forehead as she held her hands in a special seal. That rune was the same as the rune on the Phantom Storm Leopard’s head.

  Long Chen knew that she was placing the slave mark. But Meng Qi was only at the Foundation Forging realm. According to reason, she should only be able to subdue eighth rank Magical Beasts.

  Despite her being a rank six Celestial now, subduing a ninth rank Magical Beast was not so easy.

  Suddenly, the Phantom Storm Leopard shot toward Meng Qi. But it was kicked away by Long Chen, and then it continued struggling.

  Only then did Long Chen realize that at the same time as Meng Qi was using her Spiritual Strength to suppress the Phantom Storm Leopard, she also had to maintain the same spiritual frequency with the rune on her own forehead. But the Phantom Storm Leopard was too strong and unwilling to be enslaved. When Meng Qi relaxed her Spiritual Strength by just the slightest, it immediately counterattacked.

  “Ah, how did I forget this?!” Long Chen suddenly clapped his own head. His Blood Qi suddenly erupted and unleashed its pressure.

  Long Chen was activating his dragon blood. Once that bloodline pressure appeared, the Phantom Storm Leopard immediately became motionless. Meng Qi’s slave mark immediately became fully branded.

  “We did it, Long Chen!” Meng Qi was delighted.

  “Sorry, I’m so stupid. I forgot I have true dragon blood. Once activated, t
hese Magical Beasts won’t dare resist. When we run into the next suitable ninth rank Magical Beast, you first put down the slave mark, and then I’ll unleash my pressure. That way, they won’t run,” said Long Chen.

  Meng Qi nodded and jumped onto the Phantom Storm Leopard. It twitched a few times, but it allowed Meng Qi to sit on it.

  “Long Chen, come up as well. We’ll use it to bait out other ninth rank Magical Beasts.”

  Long Chen also jumped onto its back. Meng Qi directed the Phantom Storm Leopard. It was incredibly fast, delighting Meng Qi.

  With its assistance, they quickly obtained another ninth rank Magical Beast, the Blood Pupil White Tiger. Now Meng Qi had two ninth rank Magical Beasts.

  Meng Qi told Long Chen that with her current soul energy, she could maintain eighty-one powerful spiritual spaces. In other words, she could control eighty-one ninth rank Magical Beasts. That made Long Chen absolutely delighted.

  Eighty-one ninth rank Magical Beasts. If they encountered any enemies, they could directly crush them with numbers.

  “Hehe, then let’s get eighty-one ninth rank Magical Beasts, and then you’ll be the Dragonblood Legion’s number one trump card.” Long Chen laughed mischievously. He and Meng Qi continued searching for ninth rank Magical Beasts.

  Chapter 1108 Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow

  Meng Qi and Long Chen continued hunting. The number of ninth rank Magical Beasts in their ranks rapidly increased, and it only became easier. With dozens of ninth rank Magical Beasts surrounding one, there was nowhere for it to run.

  While it was still stunned by the sudden Magical Beasts appearing around it, Meng Qi’s slave mark would descend from the sky. When it started struggling, Long Chen’s bloodline pressure would erupt, making it so frightened that it would piss itself.

  In two days, Meng Qi obtained over fifty nine rank Magical Beasts. Only three of them were flying Magical Beasts, and the rest were ground Magical Beasts. Seven of them had reached the late ninth rank.

  If it weren’t for Long Chen’s bloodline pressure, there would have been no way for Meng Qi to subdue such powerful Magical Beasts. In fact, even with the bloodline pressure, they had still resisted so strongly that one of her new housepets had almost been killed in the fight.

  But after subduing the first one, the next one became easier. Now, Meng Qi’s housepet army could run rampant here.

  However, after two days, Meng Qi’s soul energy was exhausted. Long Chen had her rest a bit as there was no reason to go all-out.

  Taking advantage of this resting period, Long Chen and Meng Qi rode an Azure Scale Barbarian Elephant. That was currently her strongest housepet, and they were slowly advancing.

  The Azure Scale Barbarian Elephant was a late ninth rank Magical Beast. With its azure scales and long tusks, it could easily crush mountains. To subdue it, Long Chen had been forced to fight it with his Green Dragon Battle Armor.

  Now that they were riding it, they easily trampled their way through the territories of other Magical Beasts. Those Magical Beasts would all flee far away upon sensing it.

  At the same time as Meng Qi collected housepets, Long Chen also obtained dozens of corpses. Some were rock snakes, scaled alligators, poisonous centipedes, etc. They were some extremely ugly Magical Beasts. They might be powerful, but Meng Qi decided she didn’t want them, so they were tossed into the primal chaos space.

  The Iron Spruce Oaks had already grown to nine thousand meters. He sensed that their limit would be twelve thousand meters, but the amount of life energy they could offer him already made him much more confident.

  “What are you thinking of, Long Chen?” asked Meng Qi upon seeing him looking around. Even his Spiritual Strength was spread far into the distance.

  “I want to see if I can find a tenth rank Magical Beast,” said Long Chen.

  “Have you gone mad? Even if a tenth rank Magical Beast didn’t resist, with my current power, there’s no way for me to place a slave mark on it!” cried Meng Qi. This thinking was far too crazy and absolutely impossible.

  “I wasn’t thinking of having you put a slave mark on a tenth rank Magical Beast. But if we run into one of its younglings, we can steal one, hehe…” Long Chen raised his brows at her a few times with an evil smile.

  “That’s too dangerous!” said Meng Qi worriedly.

  “Wealth exists in danger. And I was just thinking of trying it. It’s hard to say if we can even encounter a tenth rank Magical Beast,” said Long Chen.

  “What nonsense, do you think I’m as easy to trick as Wan-er? The fact that we can’t sense any Magical Beasts in this region means we’ve already entered the large territory of a tenth rank Magical Beast,” said Meng Qi.

  Long Chen had forgotten that Meng Qi was a Beast Tamer. She was clearer on the traits of Magical Beasts than anyone else.

  “We’re just taking a look. Just a look,” said Long Chen.

  Meng Qi sighed helplessly. Long Chen’s curiosity was too strong, and he never went back on things he had decided. She could only let him have his way.

  “I see it!”

  Meng Qi and Long Chen carefully retracted their auras like thieves. Looking down from a large mountain, they saw a huge lake.

  At the center of this huge lake was a bird nest made from countless withered trees. Looking from a distance, it was like its own island.

  “Heavens, there really are eggs!” exclaimed Meng Qi. She could see two house-sized eggs in the nest. “This luck is heaven-defying!”

  Long Chen couldn’t help but mutter to himself that it was only because he was with her. If he had been by himself, let alone finding an egg, he wouldn’t even find a single hair or feather.

  He found that his bad luck was overflowing, but it didn’t seem to affect others. If he brought someone else along, his luck wouldn’t be so bad.

  “What should we do? They’re out completely in the open. There’s no way for us to sneak our way there. Furthermore, Magical Beasts wouldn’t possibly leave two of their eggs exposed like this. That means the parents are going to return quickly, and if we encounter them…” Meng Qi was worried. There had been no ninth rank Magical Beasts that had dared to intrude in the area around here. That meant the master of this place had to be a tenth rank Magical Beast.

  But if they could obtain two eggs of a tenth rank Magical Beast and then incubate them… Even someone as calm as Meng Qi felt her heart pounding.

  “Let’s risk it. We’ll charge over, grab them, and run.”

  Long Chen wasn’t able to think of any plan. The only thing to do was gamble. In any case, Meng Qi was here, so his bad luck shouldn’t cause anything. It was all up to Meng Qi’s luck.

  They rushed over to the nest. Long Chen had raised his wariness to the max, and he was ready to summon the Green Dragon Battle Armor at any moment. Even he didn’t dare to challenge a tenth rank Magical Beast.

  What surprised the two of them was that they didn’t sense anything even upon reaching the nest. Only once they were in front of the eggs did they sense something shocking.

  They were standing in front of one of the eggs. Strange runes that emitted powerful pressure covered the shells, and just standing near it made it hard for them to breathe.

  “Meng Qi, quick. Take them,” said Long Chen. Now wasn’t the time to appraise them.

  “I… I can’t draw them into my spiritual space,” said Meng Qi, panicked. She was forming hand seals, but the eggs wouldn’t budge.

  These eggs had their own life, and they couldn’t be placed in a spatial ring. They had to be placed in a spiritual space.

  Long Chen also tried and found he couldn’t draw them into his spiritual space. As for using the primal chaos space, he didn’t dare to try it. What if they did get in, and then the primal chaos bead directly killed them? That would be an absolute waste.

  “What should we do?” asked Meng Qi.

  Long Chen was also dumbfounded. There was no way for them to carry them while flying. They were huge, and that
would be too conspicuous.

  “Who knows?”

  Meng Qi blankly looked at Long Chen. Suddenly, Long Chen also looked at her with shock.

  “Who said that?” Meng Qi and Long Chen’s hair stood on end. That voice hadn’t come from either of them.

  “Me.”

  Long Chen and Meng Qi stiffened and then slowly turned around. They saw a fist-sized little bird standing on a dried-up branch, looking at them.

  It was small, but it gave off a feeling like a divine steed. Its tail had multicolored feathers that were very beautiful, but there was no pressure coming from it, nor did they sense its aura.

  “A talking bird? Wow, that was scary. Hey, do you know how we can take away these eggs? If you tell me, I’ll give you something delicious.” Long Chen took out some eighth tier medicinal ingredient fruit. Those were things all birds loved to eat.

  “Long Chen, it…” Meng Qi looked at that beautiful little bird with a hint of terror in her eyes.

  “It’s fine, I won’t harm it. If it’s always been around here, it should know some secrets.” Long Chen didn’t look back to see that terror. He handed the fruit to the bird as he had personally witnessed the principles that money could even make ghosts work.

  The little bird didn’t even look at the fruit in Long Chen’s hands. It stared at Long Chen, not saying a word.

  “Fine, I see you’re a fellow with status. This is too little? Then how about a thousand? Two thousand…?”

  Long Chen was in the midst of haggling, so he didn’t see that Meng Qi was pale as paper. She grabbed him and immediately pulled apart some distance between them and the bird.

  “It… it… it’s a legendary Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow.” Meng Qi’s voice involuntarily trembled.

  “What?!”

  Long Chen looked back, the fruit in his hands tumbling to the ground. A look of shock and terror also appeared in his eyes.

  He didn’t recognize the Cloud Chasing Heaven Swallowing Sparrow, but he had heard of them. The expressions chasing cloud and lightning, as well as devouring heaven and earth, both came from it.
