Chapter 264 Traces of the Night Beast

“However, it is not easy to send a demon beast into the Demon Beast Scroll, and it is even more difficult to tame it after the matter.”

Xu Ning said to Gray, “You have to spend more energy to plant the Demon Beast Scroll mark on the Rock Rolling Lizard.” Before the Demon Beast Scroll was damaged, it was a top-notch treasure.

In its undamaged state, when ordinary demon beasts were caught, they would immediately be imprinted.

But now, the controller had to spend more time and effort to plant a mark on the demon beast they captured “It’s just a little more effort, no worries.”

Gray responded. For Gray, it had long wanted to expand the dao realm combat power in the Demon Beast Scroll, but it had never had the opportunity. And now the opportunity to do so came to it. “The demon beasts here should have never come into contact with human powerhouses.”

Xu Ning said, “When the lizard fought with me just now, it had no combat experience at all. Moreover, it doesn’t speak human language, so it obviously hasn’t come into contact with the human world.”

“That’s right…”

Gray nodded.

“You have to thank me.”

Cyan leaned forward at this moment. “If it weren’t for me, Xu Ning wouldn’t have been able to subdue that Rock Rolling Lizard so easily.”

Gray sneered and said casually, “In that case, thank you very much.”

Cyan rolled its eyes. “It’s useless to thank me verbally. Instead, give me the entire Jade Scar Blood Tempering Fruit.” Gray listened and ignored it.

Cyan gritted its teeth.

“Come, let’s continue walking around and see if we can find anything else.”

Xu Ning also wanted to obtain more resources here.

Advancing from the dao realm fourth stage to the dao realm fifth stage required 8.5 million units of energy, which was a huge amount for Xu Ning

Xu Ning wanted to accumulate more energy by coming to this resource-rich island.

Xu Ning continued to explore the island with Cyan and Gray.

Three months went by in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, the search fleet of Harmony King Mansion had searched three islands, and they were reaching the fourth island.

Before going there, they left a portion of their manpower on the already searched island.

If the Night Beast touched the trap set by the Master Tamers, they would be triggered and alert their people. During this period of time, Duan Chaofeng’s people and Mo Lan’s people had also noticed each other.

However, since their search area was different, the two sides had not officially fought yet.

However, both sides knew that as the search continued, it was only a matter of time before the two sides ran into each other.

Over the past three months, Xu Ning brought Gray and Cyan along to search for traces of the Night Beast on the three islands, whilst capturing demon beasts for resources.

During this period of time, the dao realm combat power in the Demon Beast Scroll was expanded.

One more mid level dao realm demon beast and three elementary level dao realm demon beasts were added.

If he brought this back to the Swallow Heron Sect, the overall combat power of the Swallow Heron Sect would greatly increase. Moreover, this amount was deliberately controlled.

Gray only chose to continue capturing new demon beasts after planting a Demon Beast Scroll mark on the captured demon beasts.

Otherwise, a demon beast that had not been imprinted and was uncontrollable would cause chaos in the Demon Beast Scroll.

In addition to the expansion of the Demon Beast Scroll, Gray and Cyan also discovered many spirit medicines that could promote the growth of demon beasts.

This caused their strength to increase by a lot.

Although there was still a clear distance from the mid level dao realm, it helped narrow the gap between the realms. As for Xu Ning, he had also gained a lot. He had obtained nearly 1.7 million units of energy, causing his energy reserves to be close to 2 million units.

Although it was still far from 8.5 million units of energy, it was still considered very fast.

On one certain day three months later, Duan Chaofeng and Mo Lan, who were both afraid of each other, finally landed on the same island.

This island was the last unexplored island in this archipelago.

This island was in the center of the nearby islands. Moreover, it was also the largest, almost the size of three normal islands combined.

Both sides arrived at the island at the same time, but when they chose to set up camp, both sides deliberately avoided each other.

Inside the Harmony Prince’s camp.

Inside the construction type spatial secret treasure.

The internal construction was similar to the insides of a mansion.

In a hall, Duan Chaofeng gathered his trusted aides, Masters Tamers, and guard leaders.

Duan Chaofeng sat on the seat next to Dong Ji.

Xu Ning, Zhang He, Zhuo Weisong, and the others sat below.

“Everyone, if there are no special circumstances, the search for the Night Beast has almost come to a conclusion.”

Duan Chaofeng glanced at everyone with a serious expression. “Whether it is us or Mo Lan’s men, we have obviously not found any traces of the Night Beast. Demon beasts like the Night Beast, who are extremely picky about their living environment, are unlikely to leave the nearby archipelago, much less dive into the deep sea. Therefore, the Night Beast is likely to be hiding on this last island.”

The people below were also listening to Duan Chaofeng’s speech seriously. “When searching on this island, not only do we have to be careful of the environment, but we also have to be wary of Mo Lan’s men.”

Duan Chaofeng said, “Although I belong to the same clan as Mo Lan, the Night Beast is too tempting, so we have to be cautious of their ambushes when searching for it.”

“Yes.”

Everyone responded at the same time.

“If we really encounter someone from Mo Lan’s group, we should avoid conflict if possible. But if we really can’t avoid it, we should attack.”

Duan Chaofeng continued, “Next, please try your best, let’s not waste our efforts at the last moment.”

“If anyone discovers the traces of the Night Beast, even if it is just a trace, I will reward them heavily afterwards.”

“Yes!”

Everyone obeyed. After Duan Chaofeng finished speaking, everyone dispersed, walked out of the independent space, and began to search.

In addition to Duan Chaofeng and Dong Ji, Zhang He, who had been protecting Duan Chaofeng, was also searching for the Night Beast on the island with two Master Tamers.

Xu Ning still brought along Gray and Cyan, just like before.

On the island.

‘This island feels different from the previous one.’

As they walked on the island, Gray suddenly said.

“Hmm?”

Xu Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Gray. “I also feel weird.”

Cyan added, “Walking on this island gives me an inexplicable sense of comfort.”

“Why do you feel this way?”

Xu Ning asked.

“I can’t say.”

Gray shook its head. “It’s like an instinctive feeling coming from my bloodline.” “That’s right.”

It was rare for Cyan to express the same opinion as Gray.

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning muttered, “If you can sense the uniqueness of this island, then the Night Beast must also be able to sense the uniqueness of this island. It seems that the Night Beast is highly likely to be on this island.” “Let’s be careful this time…”

Xu Ning reminded. “Okay.”

Gray and Cyan became cautious.

On the island.

Another team was searching.

There were a total of seven people in this team, two of whom were Master Tamers.

The leader of this team was one of Duan Chaofeng’s trusted aides, Zhuo Weisong.

Zhuo Weisong’s current expression was tense. He seemed to be in a bad mood.

‘Xu Ning, that outsider, is actually favored by the prince…’ Zhuo Weisong thought, ‘He hasn’t made any contributions to the mansion and yet, he is already receiving this kind of treatment. The prince is too foolish.’ Zhuo Weisong became more and more dissatisfied with Xu Ning the more he spent time with him.

He was originally the closest confidant besides Zhang He by the prince’s side due to the status of his father.

But now that Xu Ning was here, Zhuo Weisong felt like he was being ostracized.

Even Zhang He, who had kept a distance from him, began to provoke him.

At the same time, the other trusted aides of the prince got closer to Xu Ning and distanced themselves from him too.

Although Zhuo Weisong knew that this was related to his attitude towards others, he still blamed everything on Xu Ning.

‘This island is full of dangers. There have been many guards and even Master Tamers who accidentally died while searching for the Night Beast. If Xu Ning can also die here, it will be great.’

Zhuo Weisong was very petty as he thought to himself.

Of course, Zhuo Weisong also knew that the probability of this happening was low. Xu Ning was extremely cautious and strong. It was not easy for him to fall here. ‘Even if I can’t make Xu Ning suffer, if I can find traces of the Night Beast and make a huge contribution, then Xu Ning is nothing in front of me.’

Zhuo Weisong thought to himself.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, in the middle of the team, the liquid in a transparent bottle held by a Master Tamer in the elementary level of the dao realm turned into a faint black color.

“What’s wrong?”

Zhuo Weisong’s heart stirred and quickly leaned over.

“Not long ago, a demon beast with an extremely high-tier bloodline appeared nearby!”

The Master Tamer looked a little excited.

“Could it be the Night Beast?”

Zhuo Weisong asked anxiously.

“Probably!”

The Master Tamer responded as the liquid turned darker and darker.

Seeing this, everyone in the team was extremely excited.

Discovering the tracks of the Night Beast was a huge contribution!

Their team would be rewarded by the prince.

“Search the vicinity and see if we can find any clues!”

Zhuo Weisong quickly said, the unhappiness on his face earlier had been wiped clean.

“Be careful.”

Zhuo Weisong added, “Although this Night Beast is not yet mature and is only in the mid level of the dao realm, as an apex demon beast, it has extremely special methods and is extremely dangerous!”

“Yes!”

Hearing this, the guards quickly suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.
