Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

A dozen years are enough, one-tenth of the profit may seem small, but it's not.

The secret realm is vast and can be divided into many areas. Other than labor and some maintenance expenses, there are basically no other places needing investment, so the profit is extremely impressive.

Chu Chen took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

Thinking too much now is meaningless. Acquiring the key to the secret realm is extremely difficult, requiring both strength and luck.

His primary mission is still the Thunder Fruit, after all, the Thunder Daoist School has paid a great price this time.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Bat flew incredibly fast, and in just a few minutes, they arrived at the central area of the West City Forest.

The entrance to the secret realm was at the top of a cliff.

At the entrance, there were still many powerful Star Beasts.

Leading them was a black leopard with wings on its back, its aura had reached Monarch Level, and beside it were some Lord Level Star Beasts and Star Beasts at the Peak of Servant Level.

Seeing this, Chu Chen asked in a low voice, "What's the deal with these Star Beasts, are they here to seize the secret realm?"

Zhou Ying shook her head and said, "To be exact, we are the ones seizing the secret realm. This First-Level Secret Realm happened to appear in the territory of the Two-winged Demon Leopard. After negotiations, we obtained twenty slots."

Chu Chen, hearing this, said puzzledly, "Is there a slot limit to enter the secret realm?"

"Of course, there is. The secret realm doesn't belong to our Blue Star's space, it imposes certain restrictions on us. Depending on the level of the secret realm, the number of entrants varies. As far as I know, this secret realm allows only fifty entries each time, thirty for Star Beasts and twenty for us."

Chu Chen, hearing this, said thoughtfully, "Then why don't we take all the slots for ourselves?"

"Taking all the slots? You must be dreaming. If Celestial Star City had that kind of power, we would have already flattened the forest outside the city."

"Are you saying the Star Beasts in the forest are stronger than Celestial Star City?"

"Naturally, the reproduction and growth rate of Star Beasts far exceed that of humans. If it weren't for our side having more strong warriors, Celestial Star City would have long been overrun."

While the two were chatting, the Bloodthirsty Demon Bat had already started communicating with the Two-winged Demon Leopard.

A moment later, Chen Jianghe shouted, "Once inside the secret realm, it's a random teleportation, everyone be mentally prepared. Additionally, there are thirty Star Beasts. If you encounter them, kill them all."

Everyone shivered at the killing intent in each other's eyes, quickly nodding in agreement.

It seemed the prior discussion between the two parties wasn't pleasant, as it appeared the Two-winged Demon Leopard made some excessive demands, which angered Chen Jianghe.

At this moment, a violent suction force came from the secret realm, and the surrounding Star Power swiftly surged towards it.

In just a few breaths, the surrounding Star Power was completely sucked away.

An oval-shaped entrance appeared before the secret realm, about ten feet high.

Seeing this, Chen Jianghe said in a deep voice, "The secret realm is open, everyone move quickly."

No one dared to delay upon hearing this and rushed towards the entrance.

The Star Beasts on the other side also surged towards the entrance.

Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Chen stepped into the abyss-like entrance.

He felt a dizzying sensation, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself inside the secret realm.

Without time to observe his surroundings, Chu Chen summoned Lei Yao immediately.

"Be on guard,"

The moment Lei Yao appeared, Chu Chen issued the command.

Lei Yao suddenly lifted a palm, aiming it directly at Chu Chen's head.

Chu Chen was shocked by Lei Yao's sudden attack and was completely unable to dodge.

As Chu Chen closed his eyes waiting for the attack, there was a dull thud above his head, followed by the sound of leaves rustling.

Chu Chen quickly opened his eyes and looked around.

He saw Lei Yao dashing behind him.

Turning his head quickly, Chu Chen discovered that a three-zhang long python had appeared behind him at some point. It had two heads, and its scales were emerald green, with a body as thick as a barrel.

Chu Chen quickly jumped a few steps ahead to distance himself from the python.

This was a type of Star Beast he had never seen before, clearly not a species of Blue Star.

Not daring to delay, he quickly summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check the information on this Double-headed Forest Python.

This python was called the Double-headed Forest Python, of Elite Level Middle Grade quality, at the Eighth Rank Slave Level, and a Wood Attribute Star Beast.

Facing a Star Beast of this strength, Chu Chen had no worries, Lei Yao could easily handle it by itself.

Chu Chen glanced around his surroundings; he was in a dense forest, with a giant tree beside him. Its canopy bore several fist-sized red fruits.

Chu Chen was delighted to see this, though he didn't recognize these fruits, he could clearly sense they contained rich Star Power, obviously Star Treasures.

An undeveloped secret realm truly is extraordinary; he had just entered and already discovered Star Treasures.

Thinking back to the practical assessment, they wandered the forest for three days, only to find a Flesh Vine in the Ant Nest; the difference was indeed significant.

It seemed, the Double-headed Forest Python was perched on the tree guarding the Star Treasures, and he happened to appear within its attack range.

Such readily available prey, it would naturally attack, leading to the scene just now.

At this moment, Lei Yao's battle was nearing its end, and the Double-headed Forest Python was already coiled around Lei Yao, its two snake heads biting towards Lei Yao's head from either side.

Lei Yao, seemingly unfazed, grabbed each snake head with its hands, and with a forceful pull, it tore the Double-headed Forest Python into two halves.

The Double-headed Forest Python never expected that it would end up being torn apart like this.

Chu Chen did not rush to pick the Star Treasures; instead, he took out a dagger to gather materials from the Double-headed Forest Python.

Chu Chen was lucky to find two Star Cores in the two snake heads, bringing him double the joy.

Afterward, Chu Chen removed the snake fangs and snake gall, discarding the rest of the materials.

The Space Necklace given by Zhou Ying had only a one-cubic-meter capacity, so he had to choose the valuable ones.

After packing the materials, Chu Chen pointed to the fruits on the tree and said, "Lei Yao, pick all those fruits."

Lei Yao noticed the red fruits and looked at them with joy in its eyes.

"No snacking, these fruits have their uses," Chu Chen reminded promptly upon noticing.

Lei Yao hesitated for a moment, issuing a dissatisfied growl.

A skilled climber, Lei Yao quickly reached the tree crown within a few breaths.

It soon picked all the red fruits, holding them tightly to its chest before jumping down.

Chu Chen examined one of the fruits up close.

There were five fruits in total, shaped like apples, though Chu Chen didn't recognize them or know their effects.

This was why Chu Chen did not allow Lei Yao to eat them.

He had no choice but to summon the Slaughter Atlas to see if it could provide information on the fruits.

What he saw left him astonished; not only did the Slaughter Atlas reveal the fruits' information, but it also showed the cultivation method.

These were Star Power Fruits, as the name implies, their pulp contained extremely rich Star Power, easily absorbable, and several times more effective than Star Power Pills.

The cultivation method was simple. Though similar to apples, the Star Power Fruit's seed was like a peach's. Just place it in a high-concentration Star Power liquid for hydroponics; once it sprouts, plant it in Star Power-rich soil.
