Isekai Beast Taming Cheat System: Isekai Beast Taming Cheat System, #10

Chapter 577 Checking into the Inn

Friend, our inn is currently running a promotion where you can stay for a day for free. If you are satisfied, you can continue staying here; otherwise, you are free to choose another inn without any cost. How about it, guest? Come and stay at our inn for a day. After Lu Yang entered the Human Race tribe, he saw many humanoid Dragon Clan Warriors, at least seven to eight meters tall, promoting their cultivation inns to the Human Race Beast Tamers.

Coincidentally, Lu Yang wanted to give it a try and agreed to one of the humanoid Dragon Clan Warriors’ invitation to enter one of the inns.

Each inn here was a large area of interconnected forests forming a single inn, each with dozens of rooms. Lu Yang was assigned to one of the rooms to rest.

By the Earth Rank Beast Tamer level, one no longer needed sleep; cultivation was the best form of rest. However, as Lu Yang entered this cultivation inn, he found dozens of cultivation formations continuously operating inside. From all directions, at least hundreds of natural energies entered the small house through the formations, increasing Lu Yang’s cultivation speed several times over. Additionally, there was a benefit to cultivating inside - it made his cultivation extremely simple and even enjoyable.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but the formation achieving such effects was enough to fascinate many people. Even Lu Yang’s mind lingered when he left the inn the next day.

At that moment, the innkeeper approached Lu Yang and began to speak to him.

To stay in this inn, one needed the currency circulated in the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion, known as Dragon Stones.

Dragon Stones were not Crystal Stones but treasures condensed from the Divine Dragon’s aura, containing energies much more potent than Crystal Stones. However, these items did not appear accidentally in the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion, so on the Human Race continent, such cultivation resources were not available. Even among the Dragon Clan Warriors, larger Dragon Stones were extremely rare.

Furthermore, these Dragon Stones not only play a crucial role for Human Race Beast Tamers but are also the sole way for Dragon Clan Warriors to cultivate and evolve, unlike Human Race Beast Tamers who can absorb natural energy without depending solely on Dragon Stones.

The reason why they are called Dragon Stones is that dragons provide sufficient energy for Dragon Clan Warriors, while Crystal Stones are merely outdated resources for Human Race Beast Tamers’ cultivation.

Of course, knowing the value of these resources alone is not enough; it requires seeking them out, and these resources are found in an underground cave.

However, the underground cave can only accommodate the entry and exit of an ordinary person at most. Dragon Clan Warriors have almost no connection to these underground passages, yet they desire Dragon Stones. They can only trade with their treasures for Human Race Beast Tamers to enter, allowing more Beast Tamers to enter the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion.

Initially, these Human Race Beast Tamers were unconditionally allowed to enter. However, as their desires grew stronger, the benefits they demanded increased. Naturally, restrictions were placed on allowing troublemaking Human Race Beast Tamers to enter; otherwise, if Human Race Beast Tamers were allowed unrestricted access to the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion, it would eventually be destroyed by some crazed individuals.

Even with these current restrictions, it does not mean that these Human Race Beast Tamers will not cause damage to the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion. However, such destruction is now manageable by the Dragon Clan Warriors.

As for the place where they can obtain Dragon Stones, it is within the vast maze beneath their feet.

Originally unrelated to humans, this vast maze is created by a ferocious beast called the Blood Dragon Worm. Wherever dragons exist, these Blood Dragon Worms can be found.

They can gather natural energy from the heavens and the earth, transforming it into Dragon Stones, which are precisely what Dragon Clan Warriors use for cultivation. With more resources, Dragon Clan Warriors can excrete waste to replenish these Blood Dragon Worms, providing them with rich nutrients.

It can be said that the relationship between the Blood Dragon Worms and Dragon Warriors is nearly a perfect symbiosis. The only flaw is that Dragon Warriors cannot capture them with their own strength; they must rely on external forces, with Human Race Beast Tamers being one of the external forces that Dragon Warriors can depend on.

How about it, my guest? If you can find a regular Dragon Stone, you can stay here for a day. If you find a medium-sized Dragon Stone, you can stay for thirty days. If you find a large Dragon Stone, you can stay for a year. If you find an extra-large Dragon Stone, you can stay for ten years. If you find a gigantic Dragon Stone, then this entire inn is yours. However, so far, only two gigantic Dragon Stones have been found in the entire Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion, said the innkeeper encouragingly.

Considering that you have just opened the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion, we can temporarily waive your payment of Dragon Stones and allow you to stay here for a month. You can pay later, the innkeeper’s expression was very calm, as if there were no tricks involved. However, Lu Yang felt that this innkeeper was unreliable, but then again, the other innkeepers were not much better.

Alright, I’ll stay. Please tell me how to find Dragon Stones in the underground maze, although Lu Yang didn’t trust the innkeeper, he agreed readily.

Haha, you are indeed a clever person. Here is a map; you can find hundreds of entrances to the underground maze according to this map! Seeing Lu Yang’s cooperation, the innkeeper immediately chuckled.

However, Lu Yang didn’t see it that way. In his eyes, this innkeeper was at most of Earth Rank Mid-Tier strength, far below him. He must have some ulterior motives. Lu Yang saw no need to waste words with the innkeeper; he could even offer him a little sweetener.

Just as Lu Yang was thinking this, not far away, from another inn, a commotion suddenly erupted.

You scoundrel, you’ve been staying here for a year and only managed to dig up a Dragon Stone now, with even fewer medium-sized Dragon Stones. This is your final chance; I’ll directly kill you! Following the noise, Lu Yang saw four robust humanoid Dragon Warriors relentlessly beating a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer.

Don’t be fooled by being a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer; in front of four Earth Rank Great Perfection Dragon Warriors, his strength was still lacking. In less than ten breaths, this Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer was already breathless, attracting a crowd of Heavenly Tier and Earth Rank Beast Tamers. However, their actions were not excessive, so it did not provoke anger; many could not help but sigh at the scene.

Guest, please don’t panic. This Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer is just an exception. Look at all the guests staying here, and you will understand the situation. So, feel free to stay here; as long as you visit the underground maze every day, you can earn income. When you are not staying here, the room will be charged at half price, the innkeeper once again spoke understandingly.

Alright, since you put it that way, I feel reassured, Lu Yang replied deliberately.

However, Lu Yang was not in the mood to continue staying at the inn; after all, he came here to find a place to rest, but he clearly sensed that this Human Race settlement was somewhat unsettled.

Perhaps Heavenly Tier assassins were already lurking nearby, but he just hadn’t noticed yet.

After chatting with the innkeeper for a while, Lu Yang pretended to stay at the inn for a while, then left to search for the entrance to the underground maze.

Xuankong Yiming hurriedly left as soon as he entered the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion. Could he have also entered the underground cave early? Lu Yang could tell that Xuankong Yiming definitely had many secrets hidden, otherwise, he wouldn’t have parted ways so quickly.

Nevertheless, he didn’t care. With the Beast Taming System providing an overview of the entire underground maze, he could see everything clearly and easily find Dragon Stones.

However, his target was not just ordinary Dragon Stones.

Chapter 578 Killing Lü Tianwang

Following the directions on the map, Lu Yang left the Human Race settlement and encountered a vast expanse of dense forest ahead. Walking through the forest, he soon spotted a massive mound of earth. Beneath the mound, he found an incredibly deep cave, one of the entrances to the underground maze.

As Lu Yang proceeded down this entrance, he noticed several Human Race Beast Tamers seemingly digging something. He glanced at them from a distance, which irritated the leading Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer who gave him a disdainful look. Young man, if you shouldn’t be looking, then don’t. There’s another passage over there. Get lost quickly, or be prepared for a beating!

Oh? Lu Yang felt somewhat annoyed. He didn’t expect to encounter such an unreasonably arrogant person as soon as he entered the underground maze. The man was just an ordinary Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer; why was he acting so superior?

My friend, I’ve just arrived at the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion and was curious to take a look, Lu Yang said, observing them digging what seemed like a kind of ore. Since we are both Human Race Beast Tamers, why can’t we help each other?

Nonsense! Get lost, far away. With someone like you, helping you out would only make me uncomfortable! The Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer was brash, his words filled with arrogance. It was evident from his appearance that his Heavenly Tier Battle Pet was no ordinary creature, and there might even be malicious intentions in his mind.

If that’s the case, I’ll take my leave. Lu Yang found it dull and turned to leave.

At that moment, an Earth Rank Beast Tamer seemed to recognize Lu Yang and hurried over to the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer, saying, Some time ago, didn’t a few people come looking for him, promising a hefty reward regardless of the outcome? Why don’t we kill him instead? The benefits would surely outweigh mining for ore here.

Hmm? That makes sense! Upon hearing the Earth Rank Beast Tamer’s words, the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer’s eyes gleamed with greed. Alright, I trust your judgment. Friend ahead, hold on a moment!

The Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer’s tone suddenly improved as he glanced at Lu Yang and said with a smile, Earlier, we mistook you for someone prying into our secrets, but it seems there was a misunderstanding. How about this, we have plenty of ore here, you can join us in mining together. It’s a good opportunity for us to exchange ideas since we are all Human Race Beast Tamers; there’s no need to be so selfish.

Hehe, then I must truly thank you for your kindness, Lu Yang thought to himself with a cold smile upon hearing the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer’s words.

Lu Yang had already heard the conversation between the Earth Rank Beast Tamer and the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer just now. Even if they were hundreds of meters apart, with the Beast Taming System, Lu Yang could hear everything clearly. So, he was well aware of the conspiracy between these two individuals, although he was uncertain about the methods they would use against him.

Come! The Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer, seeing Lu Yang’s gullibility, felt satisfied, and some poison had already been prepared. This made Lu Yang vaguely see dark shadows behind him, resembling a green giant bug if formed by the Beast Taming System.

Green Specter Bug? Seeing this large bug, Lu Yang roughly understood.

No wonder this Human Race Beast Tamer looked so hideous; it was inevitably linked to the creatures he had subdued.

After becoming a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer, the stronger the Beast Tamer’s strength, the more energy they could absorb from their Battle Pet. Even at critical moments, they could transform completely into the appearance of their Battle Pet to share the pressure.

However, this transformation occurred in different stages. Just like the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamers Lu Yang had previously killed, it was evident they had recently ascended to the Heavenly Tier and had not yet adapted to its various applications.

Generally, such Heavenly Tier Beast Tamers were overly confident and easily looked down on others. The most crucial point was that their Heavenly Art inside their bodies was still very unstable, and their Divine Sense needed time to stabilize. Their strength could even drop to the level of a Great Perfection Earth Rank Beast Tamer. Otherwise, Lu Yang would not have been able to kill them so effortlessly.

Friend, I’m Lü Tianwang. May I know your name? Lü Tianwang called Lu Yang over and asked with a smile.

Hehe, senior, I go by the name Guide. Lu Yang replied with a smile.

Nice name. Guide, take a look at the stone wall here. What do you see? Lü Tianwang pointed to the densely packed black minerals on the walls of the underground cave.

In reality, there was nothing special about it; Lü Tianwang simply wanted to divert Lu Yang’s attention to create an opportunity to kill him.

Moreover, as a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer with exceptional strength, Lü Tianwang was more than fifty percent confident in killing Lu Yang.

However, even so, he understood that if he mishandled the situation, it could lead to strong resistance from the entire Earth Rank Beast Tamer group, posing a deadly threat to him and his team. That’s why he chose this gentle approach, which was also one of the most treacherous tactics.

Huff, huff, huff...

Though the sound was very faint, it was evident that a considerable amount of poison was continuously entering Lu Yang’s body through the gaps in Lü Tianwang’s fingers, giving Lü Tianwang more confidence in killing Lu Yang.

In about twenty breaths’ time, Lü Tianwang began to relax his vigilance gradually because Lu Yang was showing symptoms of being poisoned all over his body, indicating that his time was running out.

Hahaha, friend, I don’t know why you offended those two Heavenly Tier Beast Tamers, but you’re in for a rough time with me. One hundred pieces of Earth Rank Crystal Stones, just the thought excites me. Now, you can happily go and die. After a while, Lü Tianwang looked at Lu Yang, who was already deeply poisoned, feeling extremely excited.

About to die? Lu Yang coldly smiled inwardly but didn’t show it.

However, she didn’t deny that the poison released by the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer indeed had a significant killing effect on him. Still, due to the potent toxic Rune power he possessed and the recent absorption of a large amount of vitality within his body, forming numerous Life Rune powers, he had developed a strong resistance to detoxification and wouldn’t easily fall victim.

The reason why he was still showing signs of being poisoned was similar to Lü Tianwang’s intention—to conserve his physical strength as much as possible to achieve the greatest result.

Yes, tell me, what secrets do you have on you? Why did those two War Emperors want to hunt you down? I can sense that the combat power of those two War Emperors is far superior to the usual ones. If you explain well, I will give you a chance to live; otherwise, I will make it so you can’t beg for life or death! Lü Tianwang awaited Lu Yang, with a strange smile on his face.

I..., Lu Yang heard Lü Tianwang’s words, her eyes constantly moving, finally uttered a word.

This greatly excited Lü Tianwang, who quickly approached Lu Yang and pressed his body against hers, as such secrets absolutely could not be known by more people.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of life and death crisis emanating from his entire body. Just as he was about to resist, a stream of vitality and death energy entered his body from under his feet. Subsequently, a sword emitting a dragon’s roar pierced out of Lu Yang’s hand. His current movement was akin to hitting the sword himself, a clear gesture of self-destruction.

Am I going to die? A moment of realization flashed through Lü Tianwang’s mind, filling him with immense fear.

Life and Death Finger! As the vitality and death energy continuously merged within Lü Tianwang’s body, Lu Yang suddenly shot out the Life and Death Finger, the powers of Life Rune and Death Rune instantly combining, forming a black-and-white swirling column of light that pierced into Lü Tianwang’s body, directly shredding him to pieces.

Chapter 579 Concealing Underground

Creak, creak...

As seven or eight shadowy Battle Pets appeared, a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer was devoured in no time. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yang’s cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of Earth Rank, even hinting at the possibility of advancing to a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer.

However, ascending from Earth Rank to Heavenly Tier was no easy feat; it required going through a series of dangers and even encountering unforeseen circumstances.

For instance, after Lu Yang killed this Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer, the other Earth Rank Beast Tamers might flee, potentially bringing him a series of troubles. Thus, when he slew the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer, his Earth Rank Battle Pets also swarmed out of his body.

Following Lu Yang’s slaying of the Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer, these Earth Rank Ferocious Beasts tore the other Earth Rank Beast Tamers into pieces simultaneously. The underground passage was filled with blood and rolling killing intent, as tortured souls emitted painful howls, a mixture of their inner pain and anger forming into malevolent thoughts.

Even Lu Yang felt uncomfortable just hearing those voices from within here.

It was evident how deep the grudges in these people’s minds were.

However, once the Heavenly Demon appeared, all these grudges dissipated, absorbed into its body, transforming into pure energy. Throughout this process, the Beast Taming System constantly monitored the Heavenly Demon to prevent any malevolent intentions towards Lu Yang, ensuring timely cleansing if needed.

Are these all Obsidian? Lu Yang sighed inwardly and started mining.

Because he mastered all the basic Rune powers, even alone, he could easily extract all the Obsidian.

Then he opened a small booklet that recorded most of the information about underground mazes, including the value of these Obsidian stones.

Lu Yang had mined over a thousand Obsidian stones, equivalent in value to a thousand Profound Rank Crystal Stones. The Crystal Stones could only be communicated with by Human Race Beast Tamers here, not by the local Dragon Clan.

However, Obsidian was entirely different. It could be effectively communicated with the native Dragon Clan here, and the value of each piece of Obsidian was not low, roughly equivalent to one percent of a Dragon Stone.

With the thousand Obsidian stones he had mined, Lu Yang had essentially obtained the equivalent of ten Dragon Stones. Because Obsidian could be used by Earth Rank Dragon Clan warriors, it was more welcomed by them than Dragon Stones for some purposes.

By acquiring a thousand Obsidian stones, Lu Yang now possessed the right to stay in the inn for ten days.

In addition, he searched the storage bags of Heavenly Tier Beast Tamers and other Earth Rank Beast Tamers, finding fifteen Dragon Stones and two thousand Obsidian stones.

As a result, his stay in the inn increased by at least another month.

No wonder so many people enjoy looting and killing; compared to my own digging, it’s just too easy, Lu Yang chuckled wryly as he looked at the storage bag in his hand.

However, Lu Yang’s entry into the underground maze this time was not to search for the so-called Dragon Stones but to recover from his injuries here and lay a solid foundation for ascending to a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer.

After Lu Yang entered the underground maze, he finally found a convenient hiding spot based on the map inside the maze. He then dug a cave there that could accommodate him and began practicing inside.

Although he had absorbed some vitality from the body of a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer before, time was limited. He couldn’t digest all the vitality completely. Now, with this hidden place and conditions in place, importantly, the location he chose was quite cunning. Even if a Heavenly Tier Beast Tamer wanted to approach, it would come at a considerable cost.

Once the cave was excavated, Lu Yang disguised himself as a Blood Dragon Worm, prepared to reside here long-term. This way, the surrounding Blood Dragon Worms would not see him as a threat and might even come out to protect him in times of danger.

Exhales...

As Lu Yang practiced in the cave, a large amount of vitality flowed out from the Beast Taming System’s pet space, entering his body.

With the influx of vitality, various Runes within Lu Yang’s body seemed to be stimulated by this vitality, starting to react. As a result, these Runes could interact more with Lu Yang’s body. With enough interaction, not only his mind but even his body could serve as a space to store Rune power. Over time, this Rune power might even evolve into magical power.

However, this process was quite lengthy. For Lu Yang, it could last for ten days or twenty days, but definitely not exceeding thirty days. This was already the limit for him to refine this vitality. Moreover, this vitality was not just for his own use; it also needed to be shared with the battle pets in his pet space to quickly elevate their strength to higher levels.

While Lu Yang was diligently practicing, in a certain area of the Dragon Emperor’s Cave Mansion, the tokens in the pockets of five Heavenly Tier assassins all vibrated simultaneously, as if sensing something. They then converged towards the location where Lü Tianwang had died.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the five Heavenly Tier assassins had already arrived at the spot where Lu Yang had just killed Lü Tianwang. They examined the bloodstains on the ground and found that the blood had just begun to coagulate less than an hour ago, indicating that Lu Yang had left this place just an hour ago. Even if he was currently in hiding, he should still be nearby.

Black Night Battle Emperor, this Lu Yang might have already killed three ordinary Emperor Killer assassins. Perhaps he has some precious treasures on him, and maybe the employer wants to obtain those treasures and have him killed? Blood-soaked Battle Emperor speculated as he looked at the bloodstains on the ground.

Blood-soaked Battle Emperor, you are acting a bit out of line. As assassins, we absolutely cannot speculate on the employer’s intentions casually. Otherwise, the next moment could be our day of burial. However, what you said doesn’t make sense either. Now, the two of you search for Lu Yang’s trail nearby as a team, while I will act alone. Let’s split into three areas and conduct our search separately. Black Night Battle Emperor divided the surrounding areas into three directions, choosing one for himself and assigning the other two areas to the remaining teams before turning and leaving.

Pah, I don’t respect you. Call you Black Night Battle Emperor, look down on you, you’re just a pile of crap! Blood-soaked Battle Emperor sneered slyly as he watched Black Night Battle Emperor’s figure walk away.

Although these five Heavenly Tier assassins were all Battle Emperors, there may have been power discrepancies among them, but the differences between them didn’t seem significant. Otherwise, Blood-soaked Battle Emperor wouldn’t disdain Black Night Battle Emperor’s autocratic behavior.

He is in charge of our group. Let’s try to follow his lead. Let’s go! Bloody Battle Emperor also glanced in the direction Black Night Battle Emperor had disappeared, snorted, and then left with Blood-soaked Battle Emperor.

The remaining Lonely Ghost Battle Emperor and Dead Infant Battle Emperor each sneered and headed towards their assigned directions.

The five Battle Emperors thus went their separate ways, searching in five different directions, while Lu Yang continued his intense cultivation in the underground cave.

After a day or two passed, these five Battle Emperors not only failed to locate Lu Yang but also expanded their search range several times over. This made Black Night Battle Emperor increasingly frustrated because continuing the search in this manner would likely yield no results.

Could it be that their search method was flawed from the start? Black Night Battle Emperor pondered and finally had some new ideas.

In this underground maze, if they only kept searching horizontally, they would undoubtedly overlook many vertically extending caves. Even the place where the Blood Dragon Worms resided could be Lu Yang’s hiding spot. Consequently, their search task was now broadened to include the gathering place of the Blood Dragon Worms.

Chapter 580: Locating Lu Yang’s Position

Of course, they were not so foolish. With the strength of the five of them, attempting to single-handedly challenge the Blood Dragon Worm’s nest was simply a pipe dream. Not to mention them, even a King Rank Beast Tamer would need to carefully consider before taking on the Blood Dragon Worm’s nest alone.

However, they had their own way, which was to gather even more people to go together, and slowly clear inwards from the edges of the Blood Dragon Worm nest.

It should be noted that although the Blood Dragon Worms were social creatures, they were not as united as they appeared on the surface. Even within their ranks, there were many disagreements, leading to their division into dozens of tribes. The distances between these tribes were quite far apart. Unless they encountered issues that must be resolved, they would not truly gather together to face a common enemy. Otherwise, these tribes were like scattered sand.

There were also certain level of conflicts of interest among the Blood Dragon Worms, providing an opportunity for these Earth Rank assassins to take advantage. This allowed them to organize a large group of Human Race Beast Tamers to enter the Blood Dragon Worm’s nest for search.

Of course, the most significant characteristic of this temporarily organized group was its focus solely on profit. Once faced with danger, it could easily collapse, and various problems could arise due to lack of trust among themselves.

However, none of these were issues for the five Heavenly Tier assassins. As long as they could successfully locate Lu Yang and kill him, not only would they have no qualms about deceiving these Human Race Beast Tamers, even if many people died, it would have no impact on them.

Thus, under their substantial temptation, a Beast Tamer Army composed of hundreds of people began advancing mightily towards the underground maze.

Despite the various flatteries and deceptions among the Human Race Beast Tamers, with some even being opportunists, their desire for profit couldn’t be suppressed. So, as soon as these Human Race Beast Tamers entered the Blood Dragon Worm’s nest, they engaged in fierce battles with a Blood Dragon Worm tribe’s army.

In this battle, both armies had their victories and losses, but overall, the Human Race Beast Tamer army gained a slight advantage and even captured some Dragon Stones.

At this time, the five Heavenly Tier assassins infiltrated the Blood Dragon Worm tribe from within the Human Race Beast Tamer army to search for Lu Yang. If they didn’t find their target, they would immediately lead the Human army to retreat. They only requested a small portion of the spoils from the war, appearing generous and even selfless on the surface. However, in reality, they harbored ulterior motives and didn’t truly care about the life or death of
