Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

```

Zhou Chun's Divine Sense swept the area and he immediately discovered that the fiery light contained a Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger.

Fortunately, he had also kept a trick up his sleeve.

He raised his hand and a streak of golden light shot out from his sleeve, precisely colliding with the incoming fiery light a few dozen feet behind him.

Upon collision, a Long Nail Talisman in golden color was rapidly knocked away.

The Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger, its force not yet spent, spat out fire and fiercely slammed into the yellow Protective Barrier surrounding Zhou Chun.

In an instant, the Protective Barrier, as if struck by a Thunder Strike, burst into innumerable spiderweb-like fine cracks.

Bang!

With a loud explosion, the Protective Barrier, pushed to its limit, finally shattered and broke apart.

But by then, the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger had exhausted its power and was recalled by its master.

At this moment, the Earth Armored Bear, realizing it had been deceived and after dispersing the whirlwind, let out an angry roar and directly summoned a house-sized boulder to smash down on Wei Tong.

However, Wei Tong simply dodged with a swift movement, easily avoiding the boulder's crashing attack, not taking the Earth Armored Bear's retaliatory method seriously at all.

He then looked at Zhou Chun in surprise and exclaimed, "What a youngster, your age is young, and your cultivation level isn't all that impressive, yet you have quite a few treasures on you!"

After speaking, greed flashed in his eyes as he murmured, "But perhaps this is for the best, after I slaughter you, our gains will be even greater!"

As he spoke, he patted his Storage Pouch at his waist and brought out a black gourd Magic Artifact.

Upon infusing it with Mana, dense dark grey smoke belched from the black gourd, sweeping towards Zhou Chun and the Earth Armored Bear.

At the same time, he once again deployed the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger, concealing it within the smoke as it streaked towards Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun didn't dare let the smoke of unknown function approach and hastily generated a fierce wind to blow against it.

But this smoke was no ordinary matter and remained unaffected by the strong wind he conjured.

With the smoke rolling in and becoming hard to block, Zhou Chun could only do his best to activate the Token Talisman to protect himself while casting the Five Elements Spiritual Armor Technique as an additional layer of protection.

Soon, the billowing black smoke engulfed both the Earth Armored Bear and Zhou Chun below.

Protected by his shield, Zhou Chun initially failed to notice the effects of the black smoke.

On the other hand, the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger, using the smoke as cover, was quickly detected by him, and in response, he hurriedly deployed the Long Nail Talisman given to him by the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde.

Although the Long Nail Talisman was obviously of an inferior quality compared to the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger, it served a significant role in depleting and intercepting the attack.

Just as he managed to again withstand the attack from the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger, a roar of anger suddenly emanated from the Earth Armored Bear, filled with aggression and a sense of discomfort.

This alerted Zhou Chun to something, and he shouted, "Not good, the smoke is poisonous!"

He then quickly patted his Storage Pouch, intending to retrieve Detoxification Pills for the Earth Armored Bear.

But at that moment, Zhou Chun sensed a powerful fluctuation of Spell energy.

It turned out that Wei Tong had activated another second-tier Talisman, which appeared to be a precious mid-grade one at that!

Feeling a sinking sensation in his heart, Zhou Chun hurriedly also activated a second-tier Talisman.

A Fire Dragon, vivid and lifelike, suddenly swooped down from outside the black smoke and then collided with a Golden Light Longsword that surged upwards.

Golden light scattered, and flames flickered.

Soon, the Golden Light Longsword was smothered and scattered by the Fire Dragon.

Then, at that moment, a massive figure leapt up, its palms shining with yellow Spirit Armor light, and forcefully struck on the Fire Dragon.

Boom!

Amidst the roaring explosion, the flames soared high, swiftly eradicating much of the black smoke.

The Earth Armored Bear, its massive body sent flying, smashed into the ground creating a huge crater.

However, after all, the creature was a second-tier Demon Beast, and it quickly climbed up from the ground once again.

But compared to its previous imposing and domineering appearance, it was now singed black, with fresh blood oozing from multiple lacerations across its body, looking somewhat bedraggled.

```

"Damn this beast!"

In the sky, Wei Tong couldn't help but show a look of frustration and fury as he cursed.

His last attack would have either killed Zhou Chun outright or at least injured him, if only it hadn't been for the Earth Armored Bear blocking it, combined with his subsequent offensive moves. Find more to read at empire

But the Earth Armored Bear, rather than allowing Zhou Chun to get hurt, decided to take the injury upon itself.

This enraged Wei Tong.

"Then I'll just slaughter this beast first!"

He shouted angrily, pinching and casting a spell, once again using the Wind Dragon Technique he had used before.

He then merged the black smoke emitted from the gourd magic artifact into the Wind Dragon, turning the originally cyan-white dragon to a shade of dark cyan.

"Go!"

With a low shout, the dark cyan Wind Dragon fiercely pounced toward the Earth Armored Bear.

On the ground, the Earth Armored Bear also gathered mud to re-forge its thick armor.

Then it opened its mouth and spit out a yellow spiritual light that turned into a misty cloud around its neck and above, covering its neck and head like a towel to protect itself from the poisonous smoke.

Sure enough, having been educated by Cultivators for a long time, the Demon Beast had learned to anticipate and defend against such methods.

Next, the colliding forces of the dark cyan Wind Dragon and the Earth Armored Bear's swinging paws clashed together, the powerful shockwave shattering and blowing away the surrounding vegetation.

Even the Earth Armored Bear, with its massive body weighing tens of thousands of pounds, couldn't withstand the powerful impact and was sent rolling on the ground like a giant boulder for twenty or thirty yards before it came to a stop.

And just as the Earth Armored Bear's body came to a halt, the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger that Wei Tong had previously used to attack Zhou Chun suddenly shot towards its eyes.

But how could Zhou Chun allow him to succeed with such a sneak attack?

Once again, he summoned the Long Nail Talisman to block the flying dagger, giving the Earth Armored Bear time to react and swipe away the subsequent flying daggers with its paw.

With this strategic cooperation between Zhou Chun and the Earth Armored Bear, Wei Tong found himself at a loss against them.

This situation quickly caused dissatisfaction from Su Qiang's side.

He bellowed angrily from over ten miles away, "Second Wei, what the hell are you doing? Can't you handle a kid and a beast?"

Su Qiang couldn't help but be furious.

Because he realized that without Wei Tong's help, he would only be able to fight Zhou Daoquan to the point where both would suffer greatly.

The idea of defeating Zhou Daoquan on his own was completely unrealistic.

This was unbearable for someone as proud as him.

Especially since the battle had been going on for fifteen minutes and there was still no sign of victory from Wei Tong's side.

Naturally, his anger found a convenient outlet, and he lashed out with a string of curses.

After being berated, Wei Tong, although resentful of Su Qiang's harsh words, dared not offend him or curse back.

So he could only pour his fury toward Zhou Chun and the Earth Armored Bear.

"Damned beast, damned brat, making me spend so much effort, I'll skin and dismantle you after this to ease my anger!"

He cursed loudly, taking out a second-grade medium-quality talisman from his storage pouch and activating it.

This time, upon activation, the talisman hit the ground, and immediately the earth split open, and a Rock Earth Dragon six or seven zhang long emerged, lunging at the Earth Armored Bear.

The Rock Earth Dragon was not only incredibly hard and immensely strong, but it could also break apart and re-form from the soil.

Although it didn't erupt with as much power as the previous Fire Dragon instantly, it put great pressure and a threat on the Earth Armored Bear, forcing it to fully engage in a struggle.

This shift prompted Wei Tong to sense an opportunity, turning his attention toward Zhou Chun.

His expression then abruptly changed.

He saw that Zhou Chun was now holding a white longbow in his hand, drawing the bow and aiming an arrow straight at him.
