Chu Tian naturally wouldn't let the thing bite him.
He quickly retracted his hand.
But in that instant.
A familiar energy, instantly recognized, burrowed towards Chu Tian's mind.
Soul force?
This dog priest was a soul master?
This thought hadn't even settled before.
Behind his divine platform, quietly floating, [Moon God's Wrath, the Healer's Spear of War].
Trembled violently.
*Ching…*
It transformed into a streak of white light and shot out from the divine platform.
It pulverized the invading soul force like crushing dry rot.
"Ah…" the dog priest clutched his head and fell straight backward.
Then, Moon God's Wrath flew directly out from his forehead.
*Snap…*
The dog priest's head exploded like a watermelon at that moment.
[Moon God's Wrath, the Healer's Spear of War] had just appeared outside.
It paused, circled in the air, unable to find the source of the invasion.
It swayed, seemingly puzzled.
Chu Tian was also stunned. This guy…
Just died like that?
He had many questions for him, but the priest had killed himself.
Why choose soul attack of all things?
Before Chu Tian could react, his weak soul force was destroyed by Moon God's Wrath.
Before Moon God's Wrath could counterattack.
The guy's head exploded from the backlash.
Becoming a headless corpse.
"Squeak squeak squeak…" The mole, cute on the outside but possessing a giant abyss-like mouth.
Suddenly let out a startled cry.
It flicked its backside, dug its front claws into the sand.
And burrowed into the ground.
The event happened in an instant. By the time Chu Tian looked, it had vanished into the ground.
Only a sand hole remained.
His divine sense followed the sand hole down, discovering…
It had already burrowed over a hundred meters deep.
Chu Tian was speechless. That was less than two seconds!
This ability to dig and escape was hundreds of times stronger than the moles on Blue Star.
Chu Tian couldn't be bothered to chase a pet.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
That thing was still digging downwards.
Chu Tian had no ability to burrow.
He looked around and scanned with his divine sense again.
He found no human figures.
He squatted down and searched the headless body.
The dog priest only had a leather pouch on him.
Nothing else.
He took it off and rummaged inside.
Chu Tian's eyes lit up. This fist-sized leather pouch.
It was a spatial equipment, and it contained quite a few things.
However, none of them caught Chu Tian's eye.
They were all unknown herbs, along with food and water.
And some rusty weapons.
Only one item was found: a wooden box.
It was placed neatly in a corner of the space.
With a thought, he took it out.
Then he threw the leather pouch into his own divine sense space.
He opened the wooden box, which contained two books.
Both had leather covers.
The script on them was crooked.
A bit like the ancient script of Dragon Country.
Upon careful examination, he found he didn't recognize a single character.
However, it didn't matter that he didn't recognize them.
The system had already informed him what they were.
[Ding… System Prompt: Obtained Item [Skill Book: Beginner Beast Taming Manual].]
[Ding… System Prompt: Obtained Item [Atlas: Introduction to Myriad Beasts].]
[Ding… System Prompt: Would you like to load [Atlas: Introduction to Myriad Beasts] into the system?]
"Yes…"
Chu Tian's eyes lit up. Since coming here.
He was in the dark, not knowing what the monsters he encountered were.
With this Introduction to Myriad Beasts, he could finally know what the monsters he met were.
[Ding… System Prompt: Loading complete!]
[Ding… System Prompt: Skill: Scrying (Advanced) data updated!]
"Haha…"
Chu Tian laughed heartily. Scrying could finally be used.
This trip was not in vain; it was worth chasing for so long.
Holding the two books, he looked at them, unable to tell which was the Beast Taming Manual and which was the introduction.
From the names, he knew these were skills that only professions like summoners could learn.
And it was beginner level, which Chu Tian felt was useless.
He stuffed them back into the box.
Casually threw them into his divine sense space.
He oriented himself, activated his transformation, and headed back towards the small hill.
He had a feeling that there was something good in that cave.
Otherwise, just for that giant toad.
Why would the Myriad Beasts City send a priest to capture it?
The dog priest had just mentioned he was one of the three beast-taming priests in Myriad Beasts City.
Clearly, his status should have been extraordinary.
Unfortunately, before he could extract any useful information, he had killed himself.
Alas…
He glanced at Moon God's Wrath, which had returned to the divine platform.
This guy actually returned on its own!
This was something Chu Tian hadn't expected.
On the way back, Chu Tian passed the dog priest's previous camp and conveniently collected the siege equipment.
He found that these things took up too much space.
On the island in the lake within the divine platform, there was no longer any open space after their entry.
He returned to the foot of the hill.
Chu Tian saw that the corpses here, and even the chicken-footed mountain beasts, had disappeared.
Only some bloodstains were left on the ground.
This immediately startled him. What was going on?
However, the next second, when he looked up.
He knew what had happened.
It turned out that the giant toad, after they had left.
Had come out to clean up the battlefield.
The soldiers Chu Tian had killed, as well as the chicken-footed mountain beasts, had all become its food.
At this moment, as Chu Tian returned, it once again poked its head out.
It even squinted and looked in the direction of the dog priest and his companions.
More accurately, it seemed to be listening.
Finding no sound.
It turned its gaze back to Chu Tian.
"Squeak squeak squeak…"
Little Kongkong, who had been squatting on Chu Tian's shoulder.
Suddenly made a sound, pointed at the giant toad, and then pointed at himself.
"Hmm… it really is looking at you!"
Chu Tian squinted. This was also something he was curious about, why the giant toad was fixated on Little Kongkong?
It seemed the dog priest knew the reason. Originally, he had intended to find out the reason.
Moreover, he was also very interested in Little Kongkong.
"Croak…"
It jumped down again from the mountainside.
"Scrying…"
Chu Tian waved his hand.
[Fiery Eye Gu Toad]
A very rare fire-elemental magical beast.
Its size was similar to a toad.
Legend has it that it lives by absorbing fire energy.
When adult, it is a Rank Four magical beast.
Its defense is extremely high.
Its offensive capabilities are somewhat weak.
Unlike before, the Scrying feedback only provided a description of the monster.
It did not provide detailed statistics for health, defense, or attack.
However, it was already very good.
Better than a failed scrying attempt!
Having experienced the inability to use it, and now being able to use Scrying again.
Chu Tian was already very satisfied.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know what anything he encountered was.
Extremely high defense…
Seeing this, Chu Tian knew that the opponent was a tank-type creature.
Chu Tian was excited. A fire-elemental magical beast…
So the animals here were called magical beasts…
"Little Kongkong, go behind…"
He sent Little Kongkong away because this was the first time Chu Tian was fighting such a giant magical beast.
He didn't know what kind of strength a so-called Rank Four magical beast possessed.
With Little Kongkong around, he couldn't fight at full power.
This time, Little Kongkong was very well-behaved.
"Squeak squeak…" It squeaked twice, then patted Chu Tian's head.
It pointed at itself, then at the giant toad.
Then, it slowly crawled down from Chu Tian's back.
Its actions made Chu Tian laugh.
It felt like it was saying: I believe in you, I'll hold the fort, you go and take down that toad!
The giant toad did not stop Little Kongkong from leaving.
With its intelligence, it knew.
Without defeating the human in front of it, it wouldn't be able to catch that monkey.
After Little Kongkong ran several hundred meters away.
At this moment, the Fiery Eye Gu Toad suddenly leaped forward and charged at Chu Tian.
"Croak…"
It opened its large mouth and bit at Chu Tian.
Don't let its size fool you, its mouth was filled with fine teeth.
"Grass… when was the last time you brushed your teeth."
An incredibly foul odor assailed Chu Tian, making him nauseous.
He tapped the ground with his toes, and just as the Fiery Eye Gu Toad's mouth was about to reach him, he leaped into the air.
The Fiery Eye Gu Toad couldn't stop its momentum and took a mouthful of sand.
It angrily raised its head.
*Ching…* A bright red tongue shot out towards Chu Tian.
"Leopard Form… Activate!"
"Resonance of Strength…"
Chu Tian, who couldn't change his posture in mid-air.
Changed direction, dodging the tongue it spat out.
Chu Tian's right hand formed into a claw.
Just as he was about to attack, a gust of wind sounded from his side. Without thinking, he swung a claw towards the side.
"Boom!"
Chu Tian felt like he had been whipped.
His body was sent flying sideways.
He crashed into the mountain, which looked like a sword graveyard.
He directly broke off a giant rock, and only stopped when he hit the second one.
