Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Insect Cultivator’s Attack Methods

The dense jungle appears even more lush in the summer.

Their agile figures occasionally dart through the green leaves.

Occasionally, a Black Wood Ant descends from the jungle or the leaves into Ye Xingqun’s hand.

Every time, Ye Xingqun is extremely serious, but once the Black Wood Ant lands in his palm, his gaze relaxes a bit, and he releases the Black Wood Ant back into the jungle.

After about half an hour, they arrived in front of a gigantic mountain peak.

“This is the edge of Xiaochong Mountain. Further in, the probability of encountering Tier Two Demon Beasts is much higher!” Ye Xingqun halted in front of the mountain peak, with a Black Wood Ant also in his hand.

“Distribute them separately, but don’t go too far. Just bury them in the soil without being too deliberate!” Ye Xingqun instructed.

“Seventh Uncle, is the probability of finding Spirit Medicine here high?” Ye Jingli asked.

The Spiritual Energy here is considerable, indicating a strong possibility of Spirit Veins on the mountain ahead.

That’s why Ye Jingli asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingqun’s face changed instantly:

“Don’t create complications, focus on our mission this time!”

After being reprimanded, Ye Jingli couldn’t help but retract his neck.

The three continued spreading the Beast-Repelling Powder.

After making a loop, they returned via the original route, with Ye Jingli not speaking further.

Ye Jingcheng was even more silent, as he was used to watching and listening more than speaking.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and Ye Xingqun didn’t elaborate much.

However, as they passed a patch of low jungle, the ears of the Jade Ring Rat suddenly perked up.

Meanwhile, some Black Wood Ants flew out from Ye Xingqun’s hand.

They spun urgently in the air several times.

“Be careful, we’ve been targeted by a Late Stage Tier One Iron Claw Leopard!” Ye Xingqun’s Black Wood Ants were extraordinary, while his Jade Ring Rat paled in comparison.

The former had already discerned the type and realm of the beast clearly.

Ye Jingcheng released the Golden Scale Beast and took out the Heaven-Trapping Bell and Iron Wood Token.

The Cold Sun Seal was not very effective within this jungle.

He then took out a set of Silver Snow Needle. After breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, he could wield all nine Silver Snow Needles simultaneously without much pressure.

“Keep moving, see if it approaches or not!” Ye Xingqun glanced unexpectedly at the two.

Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Scale Beast was renowned even in the Ye Family’s Spirit Beast list, and Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Scale Beast was exceptional, with dazzling layers of scale armor, appearing more majestic than ordinary Golden Scale Beasts.

Its aura was also Late Stage Tier One, while the Cyan-Scaled Python was only at Mid-stage Tier One, equivalent to Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

But the Cyan-Scaled Python’s thorn armor was impeccable, its mouth concealing a Magical Artifact.

Compared to common Loose Cultivators, it was better armed.

“The Golden Scale Beast can be kept, drop your Jade Ring Rat a bit farther back!” After a while, still no movement, even within the range of their Divine Sense.

Ye Xingqun spoke up.

Ye Jingcheng felt a bit embarrassed hearing this, perhaps they were overly cautious, as an Iron Claw Leopard dared not hunt such a lineup as theirs.

While it ensured safety, being not far from the family base, if anything could be gained, it would obviously align better with the trio’s intentions.

Ye Jingcheng withdrew the Golden Scale Beast, subsequently placing the Jade Ring Rat a little farther back.

Ye Jingli quickly understood, withdrawing the Cyan-Scaled Python.

The trio continued advancing, but Ye Jingcheng sensed through the Soul Contract that the Jade Ring Rat was getting more anxious.

Its ears flapped incessantly, as the Spirit-Blocking Robe they wore rendered them harder to detect by the Iron Claw Leopard.

Finally, as a dark light appeared, a sharp claw lunged at the Jade Ring Rat.

With terrifying speed, it seemed about to smash the rat’s brain, but at this moment, Ye Jingcheng’s Iron Wood Vine wrapped around the Iron Claw Leopard.

The entwined locations were fragile areas like the neck!

However, before his Iron Wood Vine could act, a swifter black spear shot into the Iron Claw Leopard’s iron claws!

Instantly, spiritual light and sparks flew, the sharp metallic clang resounding through the jungle.

From the jungle emerged a black cloud.

Looking closely, it was a swarm of over a thousand Black Wood Ants, forming a small insect cloud, surging toward the Iron Claw Leopard!

Buzzing incisively with grinding fangs.

The bodies of these Black Wood Ants were coated with Hard Armor, even if the Iron Claw Leopard’s claw swatted down, gathering Golden Light Skill on its claw.

It could only disperse the insect cloud formed by the ants, with few killed, while more continued biting the Iron Claw Leopard.

This insect cloud attack was undoubtedly fatal to demon beasts unfamiliar with Fireball Skill or Thunder Magic.

In the blink of an eye, it left many bloody holes across the Iron Claw Leopard, appearing monstrously.

Ye Jingcheng’s Iron Wood Vine then wrapped around the Iron Claw Leopard, which was busy with the insect cloud.

But Ye Jingcheng’s expression changed in the next moment, as the Iron Claw Leopard’s body flickered with spiritual light, suddenly leaping high.

All the thumb-thick Iron Wood Vines were forcibly snapped!

It was evident that the Tier One Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact Iron Wood Token was somewhat weak against Late Stage Tier One Demon Beasts.

As the Iron Claw Leopard sprang up into the air, it faced three flying swords cleaved by Ye Jingli.

And following these three swords were the flying swords of Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingqun.

However, the latter two were in sync, slightly slower than Ye Jingli’s swords.

This Iron Claw Leopard, merely Late Stage Tier One, did not pose much threat to the trio.

Without a leverage point, it could only be beheaded.

However, it left behind a ground full of Black Wood Ant corpses.

Still, Ye Jingcheng was puzzled as Ye Xingqun did not gather the wounded Black Wood Ants, instead taking a piece of flesh from beneath the Iron Claw Leopard for the vigorous Black Wood Ants to devour.

But the delay was only brief.

Ye Xingqun swiftly stored them into the Spirit Beast Bag.

After collecting the corpses, he cast Quicksand Skill to obliterate the traces, and the trio disappeared back into the jungle.

Soon, they returned to the previous cave.

“For Insect Cultivators, the crucial part isn’t ensuring every spirit insect survives, but completely unleashing the ferocity of the spirit insects. Moreover, resources for nurturing insects are fixed, and too many will burden the cultivator, so maintaining quantity is essential!” Ye Xingqun explained seeing Ye Jingcheng still puzzled.

He didn’t shy away, witnessing the insect cloud attack, he didn’t eliminate all on the spot but chose to consume some weaker Black Wood Ants.

His words were cold, perhaps because he had lingered in the Taihang Mountain Range for too long.

Similar to Ye Haiyi.

This indeed made Ye Jingcheng nostalgic for his uncle.

After those words, he glanced at Ye Jingli, evidently perplexed about Ye Jingli equipping a Mid-stage Tier One Cyan-Scaled Python with two Magical Artifacts.

Spare resources, enhancing the cultivator was, in his view, more crucial.

Of course, upon returning to the abode, Ye Xingqun began allocating the Iron Claw Leopard spoils.
