Chapter 534: Cloud Giant Population (Second Update, requesting all)

At the speed of the Bright Pupil Bird, it is expected to reach Luo City in just two or three hours.

In the sky, one can often see some flying Spirit Beasts, primarily common ones such as skylarks, fire crows, and blue-patterned swallows, which likewise do not have much value for cultivation.

During the flight, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power was constantly in a state of projection, encompassing a radius of over two thousand meters.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng discovered the first High Quality Fairy.

"A Spotted Vulture, forget it then!"

Li Zhangsheng's current standards are very high; as long as it is not a High Quality Fairy that meets his requirements, he has no intention of taming it.

There is no help for it; Li Zhangsheng has long since passed the stage of resource scarcity, and he will not waste time on a High Quality Fairy like this, which is worth only a few dozen Soul Crystals.

He is not lacking in resources now; what he lacks is time.

"Huh!"

After more than an hour, Li Zhangsheng suddenly let out a sound of surprise, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his face.

Hmm. He had encountered a Spirit Beast worth spending time to capture.

No, rather than calling it a Spirit Beast, it would be more accurate to call it a Spirit Beast population.

Ning Bizhen's heart stirred, and she subconsciously projected her Mental Power; the scene within range appeared entirely in her mind.

"So it's a Cloud Giant population!"

In the sky several miles away, four Cloud Giants were hiding in white clouds; there were two large and two small, clearly a family.

An adult Cloud Giant is about seven meters tall, a High-level Leader Species, a high-level Exotic Beast, born with Medium Grade quality, and worth equivalent to a Komodo Behemoth.

Unlike ordinary giants, the appearance of Cloud Giants is quite unique; their lower bodies are like clouds, lacking feet, while their upper bodies have knotted muscles, distinct curves, and are sturdy and powerful.

Their quality is all Medium Grade; among them, the two adult Cloud Giants have naturally reached the Leader level, while the two underage Cloud Giants are still at the Elite level.

Although Cloud Giants are powerful, due to the burden of their weight, their speed in the sky is not fast, and because they lack feet, they are also not good at hunting on land, but they have their own set of survival rules.

Just as a Red Sparrow passed by this white cloud, an adult Cloud Giant finally moved.

Before the Red Sparrow could react, it was tightly grabbed by a large hand; no matter how it struggled, it was to no avail, and it was finally bitten to death by the Cloud Giant and swallowed whole.

Cloud Giants are naturally skilled at Breath Concealment and are extremely patient; they like to drink blood and eat raw meat, often hiding in clouds to hunt passing Spirit Beasts and humans.

After hunting the Red Sparrow, the Cloud Giant hid in the clouds again, continuing the process of waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree.

At this moment, the Bright Pupil Bird stopped in the air dozens of meters away from the Cloud Giants.

Li Zhangsheng flicked his Monster Pet Bag and summoned the Juvenile Red Dragon and the Venom Wyvern.

Roar—

The Juvenile Red Dragon's voice was like thunder, emitting an astonishing Dragon Might, and together with the Venom Wyvern, it pounced toward the cloud where the Cloud Giants were hiding.

Seeing this, the Cloud Giants hiding in the clouds immediately understood that their hiding place had been exposed; they rushed out of the clouds in Anger and began to fight with the Juvenile Red Dragon and the Venom Wyvern.

Looking at the history of various planes, dragons and giants can be said to be mortal enemies; the hatred between them is even inscribed in their bloodline inheritance, and once they encounter each other, it is often a fight to the death.

During this process, the Juvenile Red Dragon opened its dragon mouth, countless fire-red light spots gathered, and it spat out a stream of Flame Dragon Breath as thick as a water vat.

Not far away, the Venom Wyvern spat out Acid Breath, and a black-blue liquid surged out.

Given their slow flight speed, the two adult Cloud Giants roared in anger, their bodies covered by a cyan light screen, and they forcefully charged up against the two streams of dragon breath.

Because their parents blocked the offensive, the two underage Cloud Giants were not affected and followed closely behind their parents.

In the blink of an eye, the two adult Cloud Giants finally rushed in front of their respective opponents; the cyan light screens on their bodies had shattered, one revealing many scorched wounds, and the other having a pitted surface, clearly having suffered no light injuries.

The two Cloud Giants waved their giant fists, which were far larger than sand pots and covered in Wind Element energy; wherever the fist wind passed, it made a harsh sound of breaking through the air.

The Juvenile Red Dragon and the Venom Wyvern did not flinch, using their claws, teeth, and tails to engage in close combat with the Cloud Giants.

In the sky, several behemoths began a fierce battle; as they traded blows, an invisible shockwave spread, and the nearby white clouds were affected and scattered one after another.

Within a few breaths, the two underage Cloud Giants lost their ability to fight; because Cloud Giants possess the levitation characteristic, they did not fall from the sky.

Even though they hated giants in their hearts, the Juvenile Red Dragon and the Venom Wyvern still remembered their mission and had no intention of killing them at all.

Soon, the battle entered its final stages.

Dragon Tail!

In the sky, while dodging the Cloud Giant's offensive, the Juvenile Red Dragon quickly completed a turn in the air; accompanied by a harsh sound of breaking through the air, its thick Dragon Tail smashed heavily onto the Cloud Giant.

Boom—

Under the tremendous force, the Cloud Giant let out a miserable scream and was involuntarily sent flying dozens of meters away; a wound deep enough to see bone appeared on its back, its head tilted, and it directly lost its ability to fight.

Roar—

The Juvenile Red Dragon let out an excited Dragon Roar and glanced sideways at the Venom Wyvern, which had not yet taken down its opponent, as if saying it was stronger than the other.

The Juvenile Red Dragon's gaze clearly stimulated the Venom Wyvern; it charged directly against the Cloud Giant's offensive, opened its mouth, and bit the Cloud Giant's neck, causing a large amount of blood to spray out.

The Cloud Giant struggled, its hands and feet kicking the Venom Wyvern continuously, wanting to break free; unfortunately, the Venom Wyvern never let go, enduring the Cloud Giant's counterattack head-on.

The massive loss of blood caused the Cloud Giant to fall into a weakened state; its strength was clearly affected, and its blows on the Venom Wyvern were no different from scratching an itch.

Soon, the Cloud Giant fell into a coma.

Li Zhangsheng immediately stepped forward, quickly stopped the bleeding, and then began to contract these four Cloud Giants.

It did not take much time for Li Zhangsheng to complete the contracts and collect all four Cloud Giants into his Monster Pet Bag.

Even the least valuable adult Cloud Giant is worth at least several thousand Soul Crystals; according to market prices, Li Zhangsheng earned more than twenty thousand Soul Crystals this time, which can be considered an unexpected joy.

Who would complain about having too much money!

After contracting the Cloud Giants, the two continued to advance in the direction of Luo City.

In the suburbs of Luo City, the Li Family Manor!

Near noon, the Bright Pupil Bird circled and landed at the main gate of the Li Family Manor.

The guards stationed at the manor gate bowed and saluted immediately upon seeing Li Zhangsheng, their tone filled with respect.

In less than a year, Li Zhangsheng has become the Monster Tamer with the highest prestige and strongest power in the entire family; the key is that he is only 17 years old.

The guards know very well that as long as Li Zhangsheng is here, the Li Family will become even more prosperous, perhaps even becoming a King Family, and as guards of the Li Family, their status will also rise with the tide.

As the saying goes, a seventh-rank official at the prime minister's gate is still an official, and the status of a king in the Langya Kingdom clearly exceeds that of a prime minister, let alone anything else.

Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen entered the Manor together; ever since the clan was promoted to a County Gentry, the Li Family Manor had undergone expansion, and its area was now no worse than that of an ordinary County-level Clan.

Due to the approaching wedding of Li Haoqiong and He Yan, the Manor could be described as being decked out in lanterns and colorful banners.

Along the way, busy clansmen and Servants could be seen everywhere, decorating the Manor and making preparations for the wedding three days later.

If it were an ordinary wedding, there would naturally be no need for such trouble, but Li Haoqiong was the clan's first Fifth-tier Beastmaster and also Li Changsheng's second uncle, while He Yan's strength was not inferior to Li Haoqiong's, and she was also an Instructor at the Yuanling Academy.

The strength and status of the two determined that their wedding could not be simple, especially since they would be hosting a grand banquet for guests from all sides, and they could not let the Li Clan be looked down upon.

Ever since swallowing a portion of the Cai Clan's industries, the Li Clan could be described as flourishing, developing in a positive direction almost every day; due to Li Changsheng's connection, their foundation was no worse than that of a veteran County Gentry.

More than two months ago, Li Changsheng came to the clan once and bestowed Emperor Flowing Plasma; at that time, the clan only had two Fifth-tier experts, Li Haoqiong and Li Xinming, but now Li Wenbo and Li Changsheng had also stepped into the Fifth-tier ranks, and if one added He Yan, who was about to marry in, that made a total of five Fifth-tier experts.

Compared to a year ago, the clan's strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Thanks to the Emperor Flowing Plasma, the number of Third Rank and Fourth Rank experts in the clan had also risen; following a recent clan resolution, only those who reached the Fourth Rank could become Clan Elders.

The pitiful former Internal Affairs Hall Elder Li Wenhan, because he "missed" the opportunity of the Emperor Flowing Plasma last time, was still lingering at the Third Rank; not only had he been surpassed by many latecomers, but he had also lost his position as Internal Affairs Hall Elder and become a clan Deacon.

As for the Beast Taming Garden Elder, the External Affairs Hall Elder, and Elder Li Ming, who were familiar to Li Changsheng, as well as Li Xinfu, who had been recruited as the captain of the Starry Sky Auction House guard, they had all become Fourth-rank Demon Tamers.

Among them, Elder Li Ming became the Treasure Pavilion Elder, while the original Treasure Pavilion Elder became the Internal Affairs Hall Elder.

Li Changsheng greeted the clansmen as he walked, while Ning Bizhen kept a smile on her face, following her husband's lead and showing no signs of being a stranger.

Ning Bizhen had lived in the Li Family Manor for a month and was already familiar with everything here, so naturally, she would not feel constrained.

Soon, Clan Leader Li Wenbo, who had heard the news, came over specifically to greet them, then hurriedly left again to coordinate affairs within the clan.

If one had to say who was the busiest in the clan, it was undoubtedly Li Wenbo.

Among the clan's several Fifth-tier experts, Li Changsheng spent most of his time at the Yuanling Academy; Li Haoqiong had a lazy personality and could not be counted on too much, as his handling of matters in Liyang City last time was purely an accident; Li Xinming was in a state of retirement and would only help out occasionally, so he could not be counted on too much either.

Not long after, the two arrived together at the small courtyard where Li Changsheng lived, and they would live here for the next few days.
