Chapter 667: Chapter 10: Consecutive Victories, Mountain Cat Slaying the Gods

Jiulong Hall in Tianjing City housed the seventh-ranked large island in the western region.

The rest of the participants were extremely tense and busy at this time, but inside Jiulong Hall, the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Because Jiulong Island had sent out nine Nine-headed Emperor Crocodiles to guard outside the city.

Each one was at the early-stage fourth grade, possessing a divine-level first stage bloodline.

Having a trace of blood from an ancient divine beast, the Emperor Crocodile had no pressure in passing the preliminary selection. The reason for sending out nine was solely to secure some spots for the other Beast Tamers.

"Come, let’s drink," several officials said inside the hall, drinking merrily.

"This preliminary round, besides Dragon Spring Island, Heart Rock Island, and Bear Island, which dispatched Frost Howling Giant Bear, Spirit Rhinoceros, and Hostile Soul Dragon respectively, other large islands didn’t send out powerful combat beasts,"

a fifth-rank Beast Tamer named Kang Jia said, holding his wine glass.

"This trip for official business is quite relaxing indeed,"

"Yes, training is tough most of the time, but this month, we can finally take a rest,"

Bringing the Emperor Crocodile to participate in the preliminaries was akin to taking a rest, wasn’t it?

Although there were also powerful combat beasts like the Frost Howling Giant Bear, Hostile Soul Dragon, and Spirit Rhinoceros on Tianjing Island.

But the top ten powers in the west tacitly understood each other, making it easy to secure spots in the preliminaries without having to fight tooth and nail.

For instance, the number one in the west, Dragon Lion Island, hadn’t even sent a single fourth-grade combat beast this time.

Because in the spring, summer, and autumn preliminaries, Dragon Lion Island had already secured enough spots.

"Kunter, why aren’t you drinking?" Kang Jia asked, looking across.

At the table, a man dressed in a black robe, handsome with a profound gaze, wore a bracelet inlaid with a glittering sapphire on his wrist.

In this gathering of officials taming the Emperor Crocodile, Kunter was the strongest. Holding a delicate Beast Soul Wand, he sat at the banquet, yet seemed quite silent, even occasionally distracted.

"Kunter, you’re too serious, take a break," a colleague advised, "You are constantly connected to the Soul Contract with the Emperor Crocodile, which is also a lot of pressure on it."

Kunter opened his eyes, "Someone has to keep an eye on the situation outside; you go ahead and drink, I won’t disrupt your fun."

After saying this, Kunter stood up from his seat and went outside for some air.

"Come on, let’s drink," Kang Jia and the others, accustomed to Kunter’s personality, continued to drink heartily.

...

The barrier walls of Tianjing City had only four entrances, each barrier gate stretching three thousand meters long and one hundred meters high.

The Nine-headed Emperor Crocodiles lay outside the city gate, completely blocking the eastern entrance.

If you wanted to go in, you had to hand over a flag.

With the Emperor Crocodile guarding, no exotic beasts dared to force their way through.

Zhao Xing controlled Qingluan and Tiger Flood Dragon to fly towards the East City Gate, circling at a distance of a kilometer, observing.

"Swoosh~" A stream of golden light flew from afar, two golden falcons trying to sneak in relying on their speed.

However, the golden flags in their mouths were too conspicuous, and the Nine-headed Emperor Crocodiles instantly spotted them.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~" the golden falcons’ bodies glowed intensely, instantly activating their name-level ninth-rank bloodline, unleashing their innate abilities.

In an instant, multiple shadows of falcons appeared in the sky!

"Such incredible speed, golden falcons are inherently swift, and when they activate the bloodline within them, their speed increases dramatically, resulting in so many afterimages," Zhao Xing observed through three perspectives from the hall.

In the eyes of Qingluan and Tiger Flood Dragon, only a sky full of shadows was visible.

"Meow~" the Mountain Cat cried out, then its pupils dilated, one green, one purple, both eyes appearing quite mystical.

When the Mountain Cat sensed Zhao Xing’s intention to ’see clearly,’ it voluntarily helped.

In its vision, the world appeared in shades of green and purple, with no shadows visible.

The speed of the golden falcons also slowed by tens of times, and in the purple-green visual field, that touch of gold was particularly apparent.

"Ao Tian can see through the flight trajectory of the golden falcons, but can the Emperor Crocodile?"

"Does it have any means to stop them?" Zhao Xing observed.

Being massive, the Emperor Crocodile would logically find it difficult to even turn around.

To prevent the golden falcons from sneaking in would not be easy.

Yet, the moment the golden falcons breached the entrance, two Emperor Crocodiles simultaneously roared skyward.

"Roar!"

The thorns on the backs of the Emperor Crocodiles emitted a burst of earthy yellow halo, rippling through the air and quickly enveloping the entrance.

As the golden falcons flew inside, their speed greatly reduced, as if they had plunged into a mud pit.

At this moment, even the slightly weaker Tiger Flood Dragon could clearly see the trajectory of the golden falcons, and the shadows of the falcons also disappeared.

"Earth Element Domain," Zhao Xing looked ahead. Magic Domain is a collective term for various domains, generally appearing when advanced spells or high-level martial arts are practiced to the Seventh Transition Level.

The domain of the Emperor Crocodile, however, differed from human Magic Domains.

They do not comprehend the way; it is just that due to their innate strength, when their bloodline power resonates with a certain attribute, they can instinctively exhibit it.

"The Emperor Crocodile possesses the bloodline of the ancient divine beast Taowu, hence such a combat beast is referred to as having a divine-level bloodline,"

"Bloodline grade mainly affects the power of the innate mystic skills."

"Even possessing the same Five Elements Domain, the discrepancy in power between a name-level ninth rank bloodline and a divine-level first stage bloodline could be tenfold," Zhao Xing mused to himself.

Due to passing through many generations, only a trace of divine beast bloodline remained in the Emperor Crocodile, but even a trace is still from a divine beast species.

The golden falcons slowed more and more after flying into the Earth Element Domain, and by the time their master realized something was amiss and tried to recall them, it was already too late.

"Chirp chirp~" the falcons spat out the flags to the Emperor Crocodile, repeatedly nodding as if pleading.
