Chapter 410: This Is How the Beast Taming Ring Is Used

Wu Yue's face instantly turned pale: "I fuck, Dog System, what is this feral beast going to do? It wouldn't be planning to drag me back as reserve food, would it?"

She really died before achieving anything—she hasn't even found Yuan Lang and the others, yet she's about to be killed.

But before the system could speak, she felt her feet touch the ground, and couldn't help but look down.

It wasn't the ground, but she had already stepped onto the big tree where Tongzi had been hiding.

The next moment she felt a push on the back of her neck; Wu Yue blinked, wondering what was happening.

"Host, look at you being timid—turn around and have a look."

Tongzi's teasing voice sounded in her mind.

At this moment, Wu Yue finally noticed something different; as Tongzi's words faded, she turned to look behind her.

"I... I fuck!"

A wholly white feral beast, its four claws appearing as if stepping on clouds, was flapping its wings and hovering in midair, its scarlet eyes fixed on her.

Ignoring the pair of wings on its back, it was basically a carbon copy of a Slaughter Hall hound demon, just lacking that domineering aura, and even its scarlet eyes had a touch of cute clumsiness.

Wu Yue couldn't help feeling a bit regretful; it's such a waste of this body.

As she was sizing up the beast before her, the white feral beast opened its mouth and let out a very familiar "woof woof" sound.

Wu Yue glanced at the white feral beast, then at Lan Pangzi squatting on its back, and disbelievingly tugged at her ears.

"It's not what I'm thinking, is it?"

Tongzi spread his paws: "Exactly what you're thinking."

Tongzi's words completely confirmed her earlier thought, and Wu Yue reached out to pat the white feral beast's head.

Sure enough, the beast offered no resistance, and even nuzzled her affectionately.

Wu Yue let out a foolish, hehe laugh; she actually had a beast that looked like a Slaughter Hall creature—this feeling was simply amazing.

"What kind of spring dream are you having, host? The Slaughter Hall beings have human forms, but this beast doesn't."

After saying that, she gave a sour look at her host who had run into dog-shit luck: "But I have to admit, dog host, your luck is truly great—this beast's combat power could rank among the top ten in the deep forest, and it can fly; at the very least, our safety is guaranteed."

Wu Yue's face, which had darkened from being accused of having a spring dream, brightened up after hearing Tongzi's following words.

Thinking about how she had just wasted a Beast Taming Ring on a small beast, she never expected that this little beast would bring her such a great surprise.

She hurriedly hugged the beast's big head and kissed it repeatedly "mwah mwah mwah": "You're truly my treasure; our safety for this period will depend on you."

Perhaps because of the Beast Taming Ring's connection, the beast could actually understand Wu Yue's words; it proudly lifted its head, almost flinging her off the tree.

While the person and two beasts were communicating, the feral beast that had been ignored for a long time rushed over with red eyes, beginning to ram the tree they were on.

Fortunately, Wu Yue clung to the white feral beast's neck, preventing her from being thrown off.

The white feral beast seemed angered by the clueless feral beast, let out a low growl, tossed Tongzi off its back, and charged down.

Wu Yue, rare in her kindness, caught the falling Tongzi from the sky: "What's this beast's name?"

Still shaken, Tongzi licked his fur, curled up obediently in his dog host's arms, and said: "It seems to be called a Cloud-Treading Beast, because its four paws look like they're stepping on clouds."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Yue: "Host, do you want to give it a new name?"

Wu Yue nodded: "Yeah, Cloud-Treading Beast—so lacking in distinctive flair."

Tongzi sat up from her embrace: "Then let me help you think, host—I have plenty of nice names stored in my memory."

"No need, no need, I've already thought of one."

Wu Yue raised her chin arrogantly: "Let's just call it Cloud Treading. Mighty and domineering, yet it doesn't lose its own character."

Tongzi: "..."

Hehe, I actually believed your nonsense, you face‑obsessed naming failure.

"Roar roar!"

"Woof!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Remembering what Yuan Lang had said before—that high‑level feral beasts all have their own innate abilities—I wondered whether this Cloud‑Treading Beast also had an innate ability, and how awesome it might be.

The person and beast stared intently at the battlefield when, suddenly, a white little figure shot out and rushed straight toward Wu Yue.

Upon getting close, it directly kicked the Tongzi who had been curled up in Wu Yue's arms into the air, then shook out its fur and lay down.

It also lifted its big, shiny, watery eyes and looked at Wu Yue, letting out two "woof woof" calls; its pink little tongue licked her fingers, and its fluffy little head kept rubbing against her—it was utterly adorable.

Wu Yue's health bar instantly emptied.

Ahhh!!!

Just what kind of peerless cutie is this—how can it be so adorable?

It made her unable to resist reaching out to rub it over and over.

"Roar!"

But the next moment, the affection and indulgence on her face froze instantly, for as the dust ahead settled, a huge figure slowly rose to its feet.

"I... I fuck! Tongzi, why is this feral beast still alive?"

Wu Yue felt her hairs stand on end—hadn't the Cloud‑Treading Beast in her arms just taken care of that big guy?

She stiffly turned her neck to look at the cute little beast in her arms; the little guy still gazed at her with its round, watery eyes.

Seeing her look over, it tilted its head in confusion and said, "Woof woof?"

After being kicked far away, Tongzi finally crawled back: "Dog host, don't be fooled by this scheming beast—this guy is basically a juvenile, so that powerful combat state can't be sustained for long."

"So why didn't you say so earlier?"

Tongzi snorted: "I missed the later data, who knew that although the Cloud‑Treading Beast is strong in combat, growing up is extremely difficult and requires a lot of energy."

Wu Yue looked at the little fluffball in her arms and instantly felt she had signed up for a bottomless pit.

"Boom boom boom!"

That feral beast from before had already charged at them again; seeing its fierce momentum, Wu Yue instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Tongzi let out an "ao" and leapt onto her back: "Dog host, we're on the pill rhythm."

"Roar!"

The ferocious beast let out an angry roar and lunged again at the tree where the person and two beasts had planted their feet; the gust that hit them blew so hard Wu Yue's cheek skin trembled.

She quickly lay down and clung to a relatively thin branch nearby.

A strong vibration came again, but perhaps because they now had a place to brace themselves, although their posture was a little unsteady, they didn't fall from the tree as before.

"Host, we need to figure something out—this big tree can't withstand several more blows from that huge creature below."

This big tree is far less sturdy than the one Wu Yue hid in; it's already been knocked with a huge hole by the beast, and a few more hits will likely topple it.

Wu Yue also felt numb-handed now; the two of them were weaklings, utterly unable to match the beast's fast crawling speed and fierce combat power—if they fell from the tree, they'd surely become excrement.

She gritted her teeth, reached into her side satchel; if all else failed, she could only try using poison.

But poison must contact a wound or be swallowed by the beast to work, making it relatively dangerous.

Suddenly, a hard feeling came from within the satchel, and Wu Yue recalled that when they had split up earlier, the Flying Eagle Shaman seemed to have given her a ferocious beast's crystal core.

Her eyes lit up; she glanced at the white little beast in her arms: "Tongzi, you said the little beast can't maintain a strong battle state for long because it's not yet adult—would feeding it a crystal core work?"

The crystal core contains the full energy of a ferocious beast.

Tongzi dug all four claws into the dog host's thigh, and upon hearing this, his bean‑like salt crystals shone brightly: "Surely it will work—at the very least, carrying us away won't be a problem, even if we don't knock out that beast."

Just then, the beast below launched another ferocious impact; Wu Yue clung tightly to the remaining trunk, Tongzi clung tightly to her host's thigh, and the person and beast almost got knocked off.

"Damn! It hurts like hell!"

Although the two clung to the trunk and weren't flung off, his arm was scraped raw by the bark—there wasn't a single spot of good skin on the whole forearm.

There was no more hesitation; Wu Yue took the crystal core from her satchel and held it before the little beast: "Can you eat this?"

Cloudtreader was clinging to its master to avoid falling, when suddenly it felt a surge of energy that made it drool; lifting its little head, it saw its master actually holding a crystal core.

Its watery little eyes lit up instantly; it sprang from its master's embrace, paws scratching, looking utterly anxious: "Ao ao!"

Seeing its state, Wu Yue also relaxed a little; beasts sense danger far more keenly than humans.

So if the crystal core were dangerous, the little beast would know.

She brought the crystal core to the little beast's mouth, and it gulped it down with an "ao wu".

In the next moment, its formerly dull fur seemed to be plated with a halo of light; Wu Yue knew the crystal core was useful for Cloudtreader.

Sure enough, in the next moment Cloudtreader's body began to emit a white halo, and it leapt down from Wu Yue's embrace.

Its little body gave a bounce and jumped toward the outside of the trunk.

Wu Yue's heart tightened; she reached out to scoop the little beast back, but in the next moment, the mighty white ferocious beast appeared in her sight.

"Host, we're saved—Cloudtreader has indeed transformed again."

Cloudtreader let out two "ao" calls, approached the trunk, and gestured for Wu Yue to sit on its back.

Seeing the distant beast gathering strength for another charge, Wu Yue didn't hesitate, stepping up onto Cloudtreader's back in one move.

Along the way, Tongzi, who had been scratching her thigh, also scrambled up.

"Cloudtreader, don't dally with that beast—fly straight into the deep forest; we have something important to do."

Cloudtreader, which had been preparing to take advantage of the moment to deal with the beast below, heard its master's command, let out a gruff "ao", and shot straight up into the deep forest.

Left behind, the beast emitted a series of unwilling roars.

Wu Yue listened to the earth‑shaking howl behind her, clenched her fists fiercely: "You just wait—once my Cloudtreader grows strong, we'll come back and settle the score."

Tongzi, sitting up front with its cheeks trembling from the forest wind, chuckled at those words: "The dog host knows all about borrowing the tiger's might."

The sun rose high, and the flight of the person and two beasts remained very pleasant, for the forest breeze was cool and comfortable.

"Dog host, ahead lies the mid‑level ferocious beast's territory; we should descend—continuing to fly would be dangerous."

The distant pressure was unmistakable; Tongzi couldn't help but speak up.

Wu Yue nodded at those words, reached out and patted Cloudtreader's back: "Cloudtreader, find a safe spot; we're getting down."

"Ao ao!"

After happily flying, Cloudtreader reluctantly let out two "ao" calls before circling to find a place to land.

The person and two beasts descended in an open area and began searching for traces of Yuan Lang and the others.

Meanwhile, in the area where the mid‑level ferocious beast's territory borders the high‑level one, a dozen or so Beastman Warriors were cautiously huddled in a cave.

"Yuan Lang, Teng Qian's injuries have improved greatly; a few more days of rest and they'll be about right."

The tall, handsome Beastfolk at the cave entrance, hearing this, turned and entered the cave, inspected Teng Qian's wounds as he lay in the grass nest, nodded, and said: "Yue's medicinal powder carries shamanic healing power; it works very well on such wounds—we'll rest here for a while."

"You all split up to patrol; if you spot any danger, warn us immediately—our location should already be near the high‑level ferocious beast's territory."

The Beastman Warriors all nodded, their faces growing much graver.

"I never expected that making these bows would require the sinew of a horned flood dragon."

"The horned flood dragon is a ferocious beast that lies between mid‑level and high‑level."

"Most of the horned flood dragon's clan are mid‑level beasts, but their top‑tier warriors can match high‑level beasts, especially the clan's leader—he must be a high‑level ferocious beast."

"That is why the horned flood dragon beasts can hold a cross‑region territory spanning the mid‑ and high‑level zones."

"They also encountered this during a hunt, when they stumbled upon two ferocious beasts fighting—one of them was a horned flood dragon."

"After the horned flood dragon lost the fight, most of its flesh and blood were devoured by another beast; fortunately, its sinew remained."

"They brought it back as usual to test it—who would have thought the horned flood dragon's sinew is perfect for making bows for the Beastman Warriors?"

"Even untreated, it won't snap; even a slight draw sends an arrow that can pierce a large tree—its power is tremendous."

"Such a mighty weapon made everyone's eyes gleam; their gazes at Yuan Lang's bow were blazing hot."

"Winter is still some time away; before then, we should hunt as many horned flood dragons as we can and bring them back."

"Yuan Lang stroked the bow in his hand; with this bow, the winter beast tide won't be so terrifying, and combined with the earlier preparations of the young female, it can greatly reduce casualties among the tribe."
