Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 1650 - Fierce Tigers of Violethorn

“Yin Chen, you haven’t found the other two and their astralis yet?” Tianming was cutting through a mountainous area filled with green fog by himself.

“Not yet. Don’t worry… too anxious.”

The Astralium Battlefield was huge. Using invisible cockroaches to cover it wasn’t a very fast process with all the mountains and seas it had. The astralises didn’t have fixed locations. Sometimes, it would be obvious. Other times it would be hidden deep underground or in the sea. Thus, Yin Chen had to do a deep dive before an area could be considered checked.

This time, Team Rou’s astralis was located in a ravine deep underground. Green fog filled the area, and it was very dark as well. It was an advantage for them.

According to Yin Chen, the violethorn draconians were quite close to him. action

Tianming hid and stealthily approached them. “Check in all directions with me as the center.” He wanted to avoid having the other two drawn over when he started the fight. He had the confidence to give challenging the three violethorn draconians a shot, but all five of the opposing team would be a questionable choice, however. Yin Chen needed to guarantee that Yanwu Ming and Ying weren’t around to quickly give backup before Tianming would dare to take action.

“The five of them are all strong. Fortunately, they don’t have my scouting abilities, so I can reduce their numbers before they find my astralis!” It was risky, but it was his only chance. Yin Chen’s specialties were the most important part of this, or else he would have been another headless fly. As for the audience, he just needed to give a performance that convinced them it was all one big coincidence.

An hour later, Yin Chen was sure that the last two weren’t anywhere nearby. These three violethorn draconians had no backup.

“Very good.” Tianming didn’t know their plan, but he knew they dared to split up because they were a strong team. These three had clearly been tasked with finding their opponent’s astralis.

If Tianming did nothing or had no vision, after finding the target, they could either directly attack or return to bring Yanwu Ming and Ying over. That was the safest method for strong teams. After all, the most important thing was defense. They would never lose as long as they held their astralis; winning would just be a matter of time.

However, they never could have expected that Tianming would have such a reliable lifebound beast that had been tracking them from the start.

“The enemy’s astralis and other two members?” Tianming continued asking while he stealthily moved onward.

“Very soon.”

Tianming had released all the Yin Chens to grant him map vision. It wouldn’t take very long before every nook and cranny in the Astralium Battlefield had been searched.

“Let’s do this.” Tianming finished his preparations.

He crossed a valley, heading in the direction Yin Chen directed him. He quickly heard chatter up ahead. The three violethorn draconians were all relaxed, laughing and joking as they searched. Their confidence in their team was plain to see.

“We had good luck the previous two rounds. There really aren’t any decent opponents outside of the mysterians.”

“I expect the same this round. With Yanwu Ming and Ying, we three brothers have a free ticket to the Astralium Seeking.”

“This’ll bring glory to our race!”

“Don’t get careless at the last few steps.”

Tianming’s gaze pierced through the fog and landed on three stalwart figures that looked similar to each other. As Yin Chen had said, their most distinctive feature was a large horn on their foreheads, as well as triangular dragon scales. Purple electricity crackled on the scales, a hint they had lightning-based skills.

“Three specters, and they all have manna imperius.” Tianming frowned. This would be trickier than he had predicted.

There was a dense field of stars in their eyes. They weren’t faceless specters, so their eyes were particularly radiant, seeing as how there were over eight thousand stars inside.

Normally, specters had lower requirements for universal manna than beastmasters, which was why the triplets could all have one. Still, it showed the depth of their backing. The Violethorn Star really was a favored servant of the faceless specters.

They were different from the chalk draconians. These violethorn draconians were even bolder and more rough. They breathed out purple air as well, and were accompanied by the crackling of electricity. Specters sometimes seemed more like humanoid beasts than anything else.

Specters like Lingfeng, who didn’t have any special physical characteristics, were on the rarer side.

Their breathing filled the air like thunder.

“I’ll finish this fast!” A cold light flashed in Tianming’s eyes.

“He’s made his move!” Exclamations rang out through the Mysterium Cluster.

Tianming’s four lifebound beasts other than Yin Chen appeared in the area. Xian Xian rooted itself in the ground before rising up next to the ancient trees around the area. Radiant Daffodil. Scarlet Lily. Evernight Rose. Fiendsong Mare. Demise Greenlotus…. Its attacks filled the sky, crashing down onto the three targets.

“Who!” The three violethorn draconians were given a fright when they found there was a hidden enemy in their midst. The three had simple names from the text shown above their heads: Big Dragon, Second Dragon, and Little Dragon.

“How dare some rando pop up from nowhere and ambush your three granddaddies!” Big Dragon gave a furious roar that made the forest shake as a dark purple guillotine appeared in his hand. Its blade was enormous and weighty, with lighting dancing on it. The sharp edge was more than capable of bisecting lifebound beasts in its path.

“Where are you! He’s here, some Violetglory’s Li Tianming!” Second Dragon quickly found Tianming. His weapon was a long spear that also had purple lightning twined around it.

“Sounds familiar. Isn’t this the guy that beat Xiao? It has to be!” Little Dragon was momentarily hesitant before gaining confidence. Killing intent poured out of him as he drew a giant, purple sword that somewhat resembled the Grand-Orient Sword and slashed at Tianming!”
