Chapter 1014: The Strongest Scavenger

The last two batches of ferocious beasts brought into the arena were all injured or sick beasts, or especially hard to tame, so their prices were especially low.

Ye Liuyun still bought without delay, picking three ferocious beasts from the first batch. Among them was an untamed Black Python that had already reached the Ninth Layer of Zao Hua Qi Chong.

The Black Python was placed in a cage, chained, and delivered to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun first gave the other two ferocious beasts different Healing Elixirs, then put them away.

Finally, with the Black Python, Ye Liuyun first used Divine Soul Power to suppress it, then directly applied a Slave Seal.

"Open the cage and the chains; I don't need those," Ye Liuyun told the attendant beside him.

The attendant was startled: "Young master, this Black Python hasn't been tamed!"

"I know," Ye Liuyun said calmly.

The attendant glanced at the Black Python in the cage, thinking Ye Liuyun intended to tame it on the spot. He also wanted to see what method Ye Liuyun had to tame a Black Python that even their beast tamers couldn't.

So he signaled the Steward carrying the cage to remove the cage and the chains.

When the Black Python was released, it immediately enlarged its body and stretched out.

Its oppressive aura instantly rose to the first rank of the Respectful Tier, forcefully pressing down on the two disciples who had just lifted it.

It seemed those two disciples hadn't spared it any hardship; once freed, it wanted to take revenge on them.

Those two disciples were only at the Seventh Layer of Zao Hua Qi Chong, unable to withstand the Respectful Tier's pressure.

"Damn! This beast has hidden its realm!"

The attendant panicked as well, hurriedly calling an Elder of the Respectful Tier over to help.

Ye Liuyun simply waved his hand and directly sucked the Black Python into the Storage Ring, giving it no chance to act.

"Huh? It's already subdued?" The attendant and the two disciples were all stunned.

A few Respectful Tier Elders sprinting from afar also halted, standing dumbfounded.

They had rushed over fearing the Black Python might hurt people, but unexpectedly, the Black Python was instantly subdued by Ye Liuyun.

Only a subdued ferocious beast can be smoothly stored in a Martial Cultivator's storage space; otherwise, Ye Liuyun couldn't have placed it inside.

Ye Liuyun considered this a real find.

He had managed to pick up a ferocious beast that concealed its realm. In fact, his Golden Pupil had long detected the Black Python's anomaly.

The price of these three ferocious beasts wasn't even as high as that of the previous single one!

The onlookers around, even the arena Stewards, were filled with envy toward Ye Liuyun.

And with this, no one dared to scheme against him any longer.

Immediately after, the arena began selling the final batch of ferocious beasts.

These ferocious beasts were almost all carried up, all old, weak, sick, and crippled!

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil scanned, and he promptly bought a dying one-horned giant rhinoceros and a nearly breathless Huo Hu.

That rhinoceros was at the fifth rank of the Respectful Tier, but was enveloped in Demon Qi and seemed poisoned, its horn even turned black.

Several wounds on its Physical Body emitted Demon Qi, oozing black poison. It was virtually certain to die.

As for the Huo Hu, it seemed already dead. Those with weak Divine Sense couldn't detect its breath, nor sense its realm.

Its fiery red fur had turned grayish, exuding a decaying aura.

"Are you sure you want to buy them?" Xia Tianqiong couldn't help asking.

Not only Xia Tianqiong was doubtful; everyone else was also watching Ye Liuyun.

They all wanted to see what Ye Liuyun would gain this time, and whether he could revive these two ferocious beasts.

Ye Liuyun ignored their doubts, spent a thousand Spirit Stones to purchase both beasts, placed a Slave Seal on them, then directly stored them in the Storage Ring and handed them to his clone for handling.

This left the others greatly disappointed, having not seen how Ye Liuyun would restore the two beasts to their original state.

If Ye Liuyun truly had the skill, he had snagged a great bargain. Yet most people thought he was merely putting on a show.

Anyway, having spent hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones, spending another thousand to buy two near-dead beasts as food for other beasts wasn't bad.

Then Ye Liuyun actually bought a few more near-dead ferocious beasts, killed them, extracted their True Essence pills, and tossed the corpses into the Storage Ring to feed other beasts.

The beasts here were extremely cheap, more cost-effective than him buying meat or True Essence pills on his own.

With this, everyone further confirmed that Ye Liuyun was merely buying old, weak, sick beasts as food for other beasts.

After the crowd stopped paying attention to Ye Liuyun, he transmitted to Xia Tianqiong: "Didn't you ask me to pick a beast for you? That Huo Hu looks quite suitable for you!"

"The one that's already dead?" Xia Tianqiong widened her eyes, incredulously asking back.

"Don't worry! That Huo Hu isn't dead! It's quite clever!" Ye Liuyun transmitted to Xia Tianqiong: "We've gotten a great bargain this time!"

"It can still live? What realm is it at?" Xia Tianqiong pressed.

"It's just playing dead! It's at the Fifth Layer of Life and Death, and we snagged a huge find!"

"Playing dead! Fifth Layer of Life and Death!" Xia Tianqiong was somewhat shocked.

She then asked Ye Liuyun: "What about the one-horned rhinoceros?"

"The one-horned rhinoceros is truly injured, but I can heal it," Ye Liuyun said with a smile, transmitting to Xia Tianqiong.

At this moment his clone had already absorbed all the Demon Qi and poison from the rhinoceros, and gave it a few drops of Life Spring Water.

Now the rhinoceros's Physical Body wounds were healing, and it had spirit again, already standing up.

As for the Huo Hu, it now stayed beside the clone, lively and vigorous, its fiery red fur exceptionally beautiful.

This Huo Hu, despite its high realm, possessed fire-aligned True Essence and could perform illusion arts.

It tried to feign death to escape being enslaved, but Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw through it.

It has now been marked with a Slave Seal by Ye Liuyun, so feigning death is useless.

If it hadn't been afraid of being discovered and thus didn't dare resist, Ye Liuyun would have found it hard to place a Slave Seal on it; its Divine Soul Power was even a notch stronger than Ye Liuyun's.

Seeing Ye Liuyun discover its feigned death showed it had some skill. Had it resisted then, it likely still would have been enslaved, so it simply endured, giving Ye Liuyun a cheap win.

Moreover, after its recovery, Ye Liuyun gave it a Transformation Demon Fruit, which can help it turn into a Monster Beast.

So it has no trace of resentment toward Ye Liuyun at all; instead it obediently stays aside, watching Ye Liuyun treat the unicorn rhino's wounds.

And when it saw Ye Liuyun easily revive the unicorn rhino, it admired Ye Liuyun even more.
