Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Cyan Cloud Wolf Pack

Ye Jingyong was also startled by the shouts of the two, but quickly realized that he had made an assumption.

With an embarrassed smile, he stepped back.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu exchanged glances, then simultaneously turned their gaze to Ye Jingyong.

“Second brother, although the family’s experience tells us that the probability of encountering a High-Tier Demon Beast is low, it’s better for us to be cautious!” Ye Jingyu said.

“Jing Li, let your Cyan-Scaled Snake scout ahead first this time!” Ye Jingyu turned to Ye Jingli.

Although the Flying Cloud Leopard was faster and more suitable for scouting ahead, the Flying Cloud Leopard was much stronger than the Cyan-Scaled Snake. If an accident happened, it would be difficult for the Flying Cloud Leopard in the front to protect them.

Hence, it was safer for the Flying Cloud Leopard to stay in the middle, ensuring both attack and defense were well-balanced.

Ye Jingli had no objections, as his cultivation and Ye Jingcheng’s were the weakest in the group. If he did not act, the benefits he would receive would be less.

The Cyan-Scaled Snake, covered in cyan scales with exceptional defense, slowly crawled into the valley upon receiving the command.

Its head raised high, ready to strike at any moment.

The thick scale armor ground a winding serpentine path at the mouth of the valley.

The two Flying Cloud Leopards blocked the valley entrance on either side, their eyes glowing eerily, their fierceness amplified. It was as if the Flying Cloud Leopards had returned to themselves in the depths of the Demon Valley.

Even the Jade Ring Rat had its fur standing on end, squeaking loudly.

Ye Jingcheng and the other four took out their magical artifacts.

Ye Jingcheng had a cyan Magic Sword, Ye Jingyu an unusual Wind Banner, and Ye Jingyong had an immensely wide Heavy Sword and a Dharma Seal.

Ye Jingli’s magical artifacts were a saber and a Silver Ring, making Ye Jingcheng’s preparations seem the poorest by comparison.

However, Ye Jingcheng had prepared eight Spirit Talismans; after exchanging two on the first occasion, he exchanged for two Wind Movement Talismans at the last moment.

He was ready for attack, defense, and escape.

He held the Cyan Stream Sword in one hand and a Golden Sword Talisman in the other, his body poised in a bow stance.

Suddenly, the howls of wolves echoed, and within the range of their Divine Senses, from deep within the valley, many Cyan Cloud Wolves surged forth.

These wolves were entirely cyan, making them hard to distinguish from the bushes, and as they ran, they emitted a blue Spiritual Light.

Their speed far exceeded that of ordinary wolf beasts!

“Not good, it’s a Cyan Cloud Wolf Pack!” Ye Jingyu’s face changed dramatically.

Though individually, the Cyan Cloud Wolves were only Tier One Middle Grade Demon Beasts, equivalent to a Human Race cultivator of the fifth or sixth Qi Cultivation Layer, their viciousness, decent speed, and pack nature made them formidable.

Late-stage Qi Cultivation Cultivators often found them troublesome!

Not to mention among the four of them, only Ye Jingyu was at the late stage of Qi Cultivation, and Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli were here primarily for support.

The Cyan-Scaled Snake, about to be caught, could only halt and fiercely roar at the Cyan Cloud Wolves, lashing its massive tail!

Yet, despite its scale armor, the leading Cyan Cloud Wolf sent it flying several zhang away with a single strike!

It tumbled several times across the ground!

Its scale armor flipped open, revealing several bloody marks.

Ye Jingyong involuntarily shrank his neck, relieved that he hadn’t charged in earlier, or he would have been the one sent flying.

“Everyone, give it your all! Use the Spirit Talismans to kill the lead wolf!” Ye Jingyu unexpectedly shouted, as he hadn’t anticipated the wolf pack, urgently operating the array with one hand.

It was too late to run; their only option was to use the narrow valley entrance and the array!

In the face of sudden danger, they couldn’t worry about the value of Spirit Talismans; survival was paramount.

Ye Jingyu methodically set up.

With a flash of cyan light, a huge Spirit Shield suddenly appeared in front of them!

The shield blocked the mouth of the valley.

Then, his Wind Banner unleashed a blast of wind, rushing towards the Cyan Cloud Wolf Demon!

The wolves halted, and the Cyan-Scaled Snake rolled into the area covered by the Spirit Shield, attempting to flee towards Ye Jingli!

Ye Jingyu conjured another gust of wind, blocking the Cyan-Scaled Snake’s retreat!

“Let the Cyan-Scaled Snake guard the Spirit Shield; this is just a Tier One Middle Grade Spirit Array, and it won’t hold for long!” Ye Jingyu shouted coldly!

At that moment, the other four wildly attacked!

Ye Jingcheng unleashed a Golden Sword Talisman along with his Cyan Stream Sword.

The talisman shot out dazzling Golden Light, while the Cyan Stream Sword hid behind the giant golden sword.

Several Cyan Cloud Wolves leapt aside, avoiding the Golden Sword Talisman, only to be struck by the Cyan Stream Sword.

One of the wolves, unable to dodge, was gutted on the spot!

Ye Jingyong’s Heavy Sword did not move, but a Small Seal crashed down!

The small seal turned into a gigantic rock in the blink of an eye, crashing down with a roar.

But the Cyan Cloud Wolves were too fast; they only struck empty ground, leaving a big pit and a loud noise.

“Second brother, just make sure you defend against their concentrated attacks!” Ye Jingyu shouted!

Ye Jingyong nodded; his weapon was powerful but inaccurate, yet combined with the array, it was quite advantageous.

At that moment, Ye Jingli released his Flying Knife Spiritual Artifact and a Silver Ring.

The Silver Ring was about to catch up to a Cyan Cloud Wolf when another wolf released a Wind Blade, sending the Silver Ring flying away.

The Flying Knife Spiritual Artifact missed its target.

After a round of attacks, only Ye Jingcheng, the weakest in cultivation, succeeded.

Clearly, after losing the first wolf, the others became wary, and the Wind Blades heightened the tension on the four’s faces.

Four Spirit Beasts charged at the Spirit Shield, and even Ye Jingcheng’s Jade Ring Rat screeched, opening its mouth to reveal sharp teeth, biting at the Cyan Cloud Wolves attacking the Spirit Array.

The difference between the Spirit Beasts was instantly evident. The two Flying Cloud Leopards fiercely gripped a Cyan Cloud Wolf by the neck and forcibly dragged it into the Spirit Shield Array.

Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingli’s Flying Sword and Flying Saber promptly killed two more wolves.

The Jade Ring Rat, however, was swatted away with a single paw, and the Cyan-Scaled Snake was even worse off, losing half its tail and, due to its previous injuries, becoming extremely weak.

Ye Jingli’s eyes turned red in an instant; although he hadn’t had the Spirit Beast long, he had spent two hundred Contribution Points on it.

His hands moved quickly, performing with the Jade Ring.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng began to throw more Spirit Talismans.

Aside from Ye Jingcheng, it was now Ye Jingyu’s turn to take out Spirit Talismans; his talismans were a vivid red, scattered with countless fire dots.

The Spiritual Energy was abundant, much more so than Ye Jingcheng’s talismans.

And he tossed two at once!

“A Tier One High-Grade Fire Rain Talisman!” Ye Jingcheng exclaimed, realizing Ye Jingyu had played his trump card!

The two Fire Rain Talismans unleashed torrents over the heads of the Cyan Cloud Wolves, like a purgatory of flames.

The wolves howled miserably, and despite their speed, found it hard to escape.

The fire poured down, unextinguished on the ground, while Ye Jingyu’s Wind Banner summoned a fierce gale, fanning the flames even more fiercely!

Almost instantly, almost every Cyan Cloud Wolf was engulfed.

The sound of burning and wailing filled the air relentlessly.

Yet, three Mid-stage First Tier Cyan Cloud Wolves did not flee; instead, they lunged at the Spirit Shield.

With their impact, the Spirit Array could no longer hold, dispersing into cyan Spiritual Light.

The flames were extinguished by the impact.

The most crucial moment was that Ye Jingli, unbeknownst to all, had gone to retrieve the Cyan-Scaled Snake.

The three Cyan Cloud Wolves charged on, unabated!

They were too close now; under the pressure of the Wolf Demons, the Silver Ring and Flying Knife Spiritual Artifacts missed entirely.

Ye Jingyu, already suffering backlash from the broken array, could only throw a Tier One Upper Grade Celestial Sword Talisman, killing one of the Cyan Cloud Wolves. Ye Jingyong’s Heavy Sword could not be brought to action in time.

Throwing the Small Seal Spiritual Artifact risked injuring Ye Jingli as well.

Both showed a trace of reluctance in their eyes…
