Chapter 504

Up until now!

This incident, which has already occurred over thirty times, has grown increasingly serious.

If it isn't resolved soon, public panic is inevitable.

As the Bureau Chief, a Beast Tamer himself, he could not sit idly by. "It seems the Illusion Beast has already done this!!"

The two Beast Tamers beside Han Jin nodded and said so.

However!

Hearing their words!

Han Jin shook his head. "Not necessarily!"

"If it were the work of an Illusion Beast, generally speaking it wouldn't dump the bodies!" "This place is not the first scene of the crime!"

"Obviously, ordinary Illusion Beasts couldn't do something like this—when they want to kill, they generally just kill outright!" "Of course!" At this point in his speech—

Han Jin paused.

"Except in cases of exceptionally high spiritual intelligence!" In this world there are many Illusion Beasts!

Some Illusion Beasts even possess spiritual intelligence no lower than that of humans.

They often behave in ways similar to humans.

Some Illusion Beasts are even abnormally clever.

Toying with humans in the palm of their hand.

Extremely terrifying.

Such Illusion Beasts, while possessing the ability to see into people's hearts—

Also wield tremendously powerful strength.

Moreover, such Illusion Beasts are often hostile toward humans.

Precisely because they possess spiritual intelligence beyond that of ordinary people—

They are well aware of the relationship between humans and themselves.

This causes them to often bring calamity upon the human world.

Within the Federation, such incidents frequently occur.

And the existence of their Beast Tamer Bureau—

Is precisely to deal with these Illusion Beasts.

To safeguard humanity.

"Of course, an Illusion Beast with extremely high spiritual intelligence is one possibility!" "But there is another possibility—these murdered young women!" "All of them bore traces of violation before death!" "Clearly, an Illusion Beast could almost never do such a thing!" "Then it was likely the work of humans!"

"But these wounds also indicate a higher probability that an Illusion Beast did it!" "So, combining everything, it's very likely the work of a Beast Tamer!" At this point in his speech—

Han Jin's gaze was already blazing with fury.

Evil Beast Tamers.

Are even more terrifying than ordinary humans.

The hearts of Illusion Beasts are never as filthy and dreadful as those of humans. "Mobilize every Beast Tamer that can be mobilized!"

"And notify the subordinate counties to send over any Beast Tamers they have available!" "We must investigate this matter with everything we have!" Han Jin said coldly. "Yes, Bureau Chief!"

The two subordinates obeyed and then left the place.

"Rumor has it that at the peak of Sharp Sword Mountain, there is a strange iron sword that has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, giving birth to spiritual intelligence. After cutting a pursuing Wind Blood Eagle, it absorbed its blood and evolved into an Illusion Beast with spiritual intelligence—the Bronze Sword Spirit. Acquisition difficulty: moderate. Proceed immediately?"

"Rumor has it that in the Amethyst Salt Lake, a strange seven-colored crystal stone exuding a rich fragrance was born, attracting countless covetous Illusion Beasts. Many Platinum-rank and above, even Diamond-rank Illusion Beasts have already clashed fiercely over it. It is a precious evolution crystal—the Seven-Colored Salt Crystal. Acquisition difficulty: extremely hard. Proceed immediately!"

"Whisper has it that at the peak of the Tianshan mountain range, a floating island has appeared. From it come the roars of strange beasts, the soaring wings of enormous Flying-type Illusion Beasts, and the clashing sounds of terrifying weapons. Countless exotic flowers and rare herbs have appeared within, and no few Diamond-rank and above Illusion Beasts have gone there, only to be met with terrifying slaughter. This is an extremely dangerous place, yet it is also brimming with opportunities and resources. Acquisition difficulty: nine deaths, one life. Proceed immediately!"

"Whisper has it that within the Endless Thunder Domain of the Thunder Prison Forest, a region of lightning has appeared. Many Thunder Illusion Beasts run rampant within it, and many strange resources and peculiar Illusion Beasts have appeared there. What's more, a Heart of Thunder is taking shape deep within the thunder region. Acquisition difficulty: extremely hard. Proceed immediately!"

He was eating with Sayeka and the others at the Holy Dragon Dojo.

The system's messages kept coming in without pause. "Sky City?"

Two of those messages caught Chen Xuan's attention.

One was about the peculiar floating island that had appeared above the peak of Tianshan.

The Tianshan mountain range lay far away in the distant north.

That mountain range, like the Azure Dragon Mountain Range, stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles.

No one knew where exactly it ended.

And Tianshan was the location of its highest peak.

There, it is said, Beast Tamers have witnessed Mythical-rank bloodline Illusion Beasts appear.

Extremely terrifying.

And the system had indicated a difficulty of nine deaths, one life.

Which meant Chen Xuan could not go acquire those resources right now. "I'm afraid that place is full of King-rank Illusion Beasts!" "There might even be higher-rank Illusion Beasts present!" He shook his head. Chen Xuan ignored that message.

Instead, he looked at the other message. "Heart of Thunder!"

Upon seeing this message—

Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

Heart of Thunder!

This was exactly what Chen Xuan needed most!

One of the required items for the evolution of the Nine Heavens Wind Rain Dragon.

Last time, after Long Ying and the others had brought Chen Xuan a Lei Zhihe—

Chen Xuan's Nine Heavens Wind Rain Dragon had already undergone one evolution.

But for the second evolution, it didn't only need the Lei Zhihe.

At the same time, he needed a Thunder Heart.

Only then could the second evolution be carried out.

Previously, Chen Xuan had been searching for information about it.

In the end, he found nothing.

He had also paid attention to related information from the system.

There was no news either.

Originally, Chen Xuan had already given up hope.

He never expected it would just show up like this.

"Sayaka, I'm going out for a bit!"

"You're going out?"

Chen Xuan summoned some of his essential phantom beasts.

He asked Sayaka, who was beside him.

After a period of observation.

He discovered that this Desert Queen was just like a naive little Miss who knew nothing of the world.

She seemed to understand many things.

Yet she had no intention whatsoever of harming humans.

On the contrary, she paid more attention to Chen Xuan, this human who was about the same as her.

In Holy Dragon Village, many legendary-bloodline phantom beasts were restraining her.

Chen Xuan wasn't afraid she would cause any trouble.

In fact!

The Desert Queen now completely regarded herself as a resident of Holy Dragon Village.

Every day from morning till night, she mixed in with the women of Holy Dragon Village.

She even often helped with farming.

Plowing and weaving things.

She even took great delight in it.

"No need, I still have to learn embroidery from Auntie Wang later!"

Sayaka shook her head.

Chen Xuan often went out suddenly.

Then he would find some strange phantom beasts and resources.

Sayaka was already used to this and no longer found it strange.
