Chapter Eighty-two: Beast Taming Ring

  Old Liu's finger passed through the beast ring, slightly shaking, and turned this magical artifact like a hula hoop. He looked at the Tibetan mastiff that was still mutilating the corpse with great interest, and coughed: "Cough, enough, he's already dead and can't die again."

  The dog called Silver Nose slightly raised its head, calmly looking at Old Liu standing not far away. Of course, his gaze was still fixed on the ring on Old Liu's index finger, and even the muscles around his eyes twitched involuntarily as he counted down.

  "Don't be nervous~. As you can see, I'm also a beastman. Are you afraid of this thing? I've heard it can summon and control you guys." Old Liu pinched the Beast Ring, sneering as he spoke. Feeling the other's physique, he suddenly had an inexplicable stiff feeling, and his tone changed again as he laughed: "Unfortunately, I still don't know how to use it."

  Look at this obviously transformable dog between beast and humanoid, dressed in a deep and solemn attire, who has not spoken a word all along. The boring old Liu spoke again: "By the way, what's going on with these guys? Why are you different from them?" While speaking, he pointed to those several Dolcra giants with dull expressions, who had not moved from start to finish.

  His silver nose pupil slightly contracted, and he finally spoke up, saying: "Because they are all too ordinary, their value is limited to only one use. That's why, after being controlled by the Water You, most of their souls were taken away, losing themselves, becoming like puppets."

  Lao Liu exclaimed "oh" and suddenly became interested, asking again: "You said they are too ordinary, not much use value, so they become idiots. What's special about you?"

  "They call me Silver Nose because during my transformation, I accidentally activated a bloodline that belonged to my ancient ancestors. Shortly after, a special ability awakened, giving me exceptionally keen senses, allowing me to lock onto the aura of a living being from hundreds of miles away, making it impossible for them to hide. If I had smelled their scent before and wanted to find them again, this distance could be extended by twice as much."

  The silver nose lowered its head, and the paws trembled slightly. Suddenly, a paw slapped into the thick ice layer, saying with sarcasm: "And yet, my ability can also be used to excavate treasures buried deep underground. The Water Demon of Panbai seems to value my ability very much, so it didn't deprive me of my consciousness. It even separated me from other slaves and raised me alone, not letting me participate in battles. I'm only allowed to search for valuable mineral veins and treasures near the Panbai River every day, just to supply them with pleasure."

  It sounds like the howling of a celestial dog, chasing after the infinite and boundless. Old Liu felt a pang of melancholy in his heart, but then thought: This should be similar to Nigel's natural power, both belonging to the ancient era, the strong abilities passed down from those beastly lineages. So, it seems that under the command of Panbai Shuixie, there should still be many people with various mysterious abilities? However, speaking of which, these guys' resentment is really not ordinary, and I don't know what kind of abuse they suffered at the hands of Panbai Shuixie... ...I wonder if there will be any **plot twists.

  Although he was thinking of extremely impure thoughts in his heart, Old Liu still had a serious expression on his face and said calmly "Then what is this beast ring?"

  "This is the secret treasure of the Water You refining, used to imprison and transport beastmen slaves like us. However, as for the specifics, I'm not entirely clear." Silver nose's eyes flickered, obviously lying.

  It seems to be the same principle as space equipment, but it can carry living things, and it looks like a portable troop carrier. Old Liu held the beast ring in his hand, turning it over and over, suddenly inserting his own spirit into it, only to feel that the scene in front of him had changed suddenly, and he seemed to have arrived in a huge space, but everywhere was filled with a layer of dark fog, as if blocking his line of sight, making him unable to see clearly what was inside.

  It seems that the owner of this thing had also thought of the possibility of the beast ring being stolen beforehand, and set up a very special ban in it. Except for himself, others want to open it need to rely on some kind of spell. Otherwise, even if it was robbed, there is no way to open it, and it's just a useless piece of scrap iron. However, can this ban stop me?

  Lao Liu let out a cold laugh, the dormant evil god's power within him slightly stirred, as if it had received some kind of guidance. Suddenly, like a swift and fierce lightning bolt, it burst out violently, making a loud whooshing sound in the Beast-Taming Ring!

  The power of the evil god, unrivaled in its dominance, is essentially a form of energy with extremely strong destructive power, almost capable of erasing everything. Although the simplified version of the evil god's power that Old Liu cultivated was incomplete and lacked a clear beginning or end, it was already vastly different from the path taken by the barbarians, who passed down the Six Laws as One through generations, ultimately transforming into the Supreme Evil God. At this moment, once unleashed, although only flashing through the layer of restrictions in the Beast-Taming Ring for an instant, it directly tore apart that layer of dark mist, even causing a part of the space within the Beast-Taming Ring to explode, terrifying to the extreme!

  Lao Liu was still experimenting with the power of the evil god for the first time, and even he didn't expect that the power of the evil god would have such a terrifying effect in breaking through the ban. For a moment, his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the beast ring. After all, the power of the evil god belonged to the divine technique, and its power was too strong. Even if he found the key to cultivation and could guide it simply, it was only initial control, and it was far from being used. Moreover, at this stage, Lao Liu's control over this lazy energy couldn't be put into battle at all, and even he felt that the power of the evil god was too slow to mobilize, far behind his own high-frequency combat rhythm. So he could only try out the effect in this aspect. Of course, the experimental result was beyond Lao Liu's expectations.

  "It's okay, I just wanted to try it out, didn't think of increasing the power. If I had really poured all of it in just now, I estimate that this beast ring would have exploded directly, and I would have lost big time!" Old Liu's face turned slightly pale as he thought about it, his spirit once again entering the beast ring, but the scene was now vastly different from before.

  In the Beast Taming Ring, although most of the area was still shrouded in a layer of gray mist, a very wide gap appeared in the middle, which actually isolated the surrounding mist, like a deep and bottomless gorge, all the way to the bottom of the Beast Taming Ring.

  As Old Liu's divine sense extended, he saw countless tiny beast soldiers neatly lined up at the bottom of the Beast Ring, with a minimum of 100,000! They all had a dull expression on their faces, as if they were neither asleep nor awake. The more Old Liu looked, the more horrified he became, feeling that these densely packed beast soldiers were actually soulless corpses, squeezed in like sardines in a narrow can. Although he could still feel their weak breathing and heartbeat, these normal bodily functions seemed to have been forcibly suppressed by someone using secret techniques. As a result, they were only able to remain in a deep sleep, like hibernating animals.

  "How terrible, really terrible! The so-called black slave trade back then was probably just as cruel. Good heavens, fortunately I slipped away quickly at the time and didn't listen to that Holker's nonsense, otherwise I would have ended up with them!" Old Liu still felt a lingering fear when he thought about it now.

  Yin Bi was somewhat perplexed, because the guy in front of him who had been discussing life with him and whose depth he couldn't fathom suddenly seemed to have become stupid, just staring blankly while pinching the beast ring, his facial expression constantly changing, extremely comical.

  "Is there some kind of conspiracy? This beastman's origins are unknown, I must be more careful." Yinbi's heart tightened, thinking with some suspicion. Just as he was about to take some measures, Old Liu suddenly burst out laughing and recalled the several Dolklar giant beasts that looked like sculptures into the Beast Ring, then released a few stone-white petrified lizards, only to recall them again, playing happily without a care.

  "You can actually use the Beast Taming Ring!? This is impossible!!!" Yin Bi's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Old Liu using the Beast Taming Ring, unable to help but exclaim, his tone filled with incredulity!

  "Oh, this thing has a predestined relationship with me. As soon as I touch it, it automatically recognizes its owner." Old Liu said matter-of-factly, speaking as if it were true, and exclaimed loudly: "Just now, I saw a stone tablet inside, black and murky, do you know what it's for?"

  His face muscles twitched violently, knowing he had just left the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth. Facing Old Liu's strong momentum, he could only lower his head and honestly said: "That is, it's the Bi Shui Divine Altar."

  Lao Liu stopped his actions and said suspiciously, "I heard that the Bi Shui Shen Tan and the Shui Shen Temple are far apart, both in the main city of the Pan Bai Shui Yao. How can it appear in this Yu Shou Ring?"

  Yin nose tooth bite way: "Bishi Shentan is not just one. The main city of Tongbai has a main altar, which controls the soul fire of all slaves to prevent us from rebelling. However, in order to facilitate scheduling and control, they built 72 secondary altars under the main altar, which can take out part of the beast's soul from the main altar and reside in it, making it convenient for the holder to control."

  "So that means all the beastmen in here are under my control now?" Old Liu swallowed his saliva, asking incredulously.

  "That's right! This includes me." Silvernose pressed his head, saying somewhat numbly: "Falling into the hands of a beastman is better than continuing to work under those hybrids. So, my master, what do you have to command? Silvernose is willing to serve you."

  "Is it smashing that blue water altar that you can be liberated?" Old Liu suddenly asked.

  "What!" Yin Bi looked at Old Liu in surprise and suspicion, clearly not daring to believe what he had just heard.

  "Is it that as long as you shatter that black stone, you can break free and no longer be controlled?" Old Liu said again, stroking his chin.

  "Why? Why?! Don't you have any ambition, don't you want to possess the 150,000 elite beastmen?! Although they are not conscious, it is precisely because of this that they fear neither death nor danger, and are all first-rate warriors. This is a 150,000-strong high-level beastman army! Are you not moved at all?!" Yinbi suddenly became agitated, staring fixedly at Old Liu, looking into his eyes, and shouting loudly.

  "I'm certainly tempted." Lao Liu, being a straightforward person, expressed his thoughts honestly, "However, look at their foolish appearance, what can they accomplish? One-time consumable goods? I'm not as wealthy as the Water Spirit, nor do I want to learn from their reckless behavior. If we do this, it will only lead to more severe backlash in the end. Just like you, you seem pretty honest normally, but once you find an opportunity, you'll turn against your original master and tear him apart. That way, I'd have to be constantly on guard against all of you. Isn't that exhausting? And besides, will you really work diligently?"

  Yin nose stared blankly at Old Liu, suddenly trembling all over and excitedly said: "Is what you said true?"

  "He's hooked." Old Liu was secretly delighted, but his words were righteous and proper: "Do I need to cheat you?"

  Yin Bi's entire body muscles swelled, his spine stretched out like someone had twisted it straight, and in just two or three seconds, he transformed into a sturdy big man. He quickly rushed to Old Liu's side, fell to the ground, knocked his head on the ice, and excitedly said: "If you can really help us, liberate these poor beastmen! I'm willing to follow you! Whether it's purgatory or the abyss, I'll follow you to death!!!"
