Species: Swift Dragon Beast
Bloodline Talent: Extraordinary
Defensive Talent: Basic
Strength Talent: Basic
Observing the talents of this Beast King, Ye Tian finally understood the origins of the creature they were facing.
It was undeniably a juvenile king beast!
Before arriving, Ye Tian had studied many types of ferocious beasts, including the Swift Dragon Beast. This was a creature with an extraordinary level bloodline talent. Once it fully matured, there was a high probability it would become a king beast, comparable to human king-level fighters.
The Swift Dragon Beast they faced had only recently ascended to the pinnacle of fierce beasts, but with its basic-level talents in defense, strength, and speed, it wasn't going to be easy to deal with.
Ye Tian could handle the Swift Dragon Beast himself, but the five Grandmasters would have to pay a certain price to deal with it.
"No wonder these five people have gathered so many martial artists. They probably can't afford to be distracted if they have to face the Swift Dragon Beast. Moreover, the other high-level beasts are not weak; some even possess special talents. If all attack them at once, they would be in trouble," Ye Tian thought to himself.
The five Grandmasters clashed with the Swift Dragon Beast, and neither side gained an upper hand.
The other martial artists fended off the remaining high-level beasts while Ye Tian fought one but chose not to kill it.
097 At this moment, Ye Tian was looking for a Diamond Beast!
There were no fewer than a hundred high-level beasts.
Quickly, Ye Tian identified three Diamond Beasts from the talent information he'd replicated. These three were so formidable that they pushed back three martial artists who possessed special talents.
The Diamond Beasts had incredibly durable bones. Even attacks comparable to a Grandmaster's could only pierce their flesh and couldn't penetrate their bodies.
Their palms were also extremely hard, comparable to powerful elemental weapons, easily shattering the weapons of the martial artists.
Such high-level Diamond Bone Talent was terrifying indeed!
Ye Tian covertly copied the high-level Diamond Bone Talent from two of the Diamond Beasts and then lost interest in them.
Before long, martial artists began to die off, dramatically reducing their numbers.
"These martial artists are doomed," Ye Tian silently shook his head.
However, the five Grandmasters didn't care about the lives of the martial artists. As long as they could kill the Swift Dragon Beast in time, the other high-level beasts wouldn't pose a threat.
And if all the martial artists died?
That was exactly what they hoped for; they couldn't be happier!
"Quickly use that thing; these small fry can't hold on much longer. If they all die, we'll have to face a large number of high-level beasts," one of the Grandmasters transmitted through his consciousness.
Another Grandmaster understood and quickly took out something resembling a syringe.
In the next instant, he collided with the Swift Dragon Beast and, at the cost of being knocked away, successfully injected the syringe into the creature, piercing its skin.
The defense of the Swift Dragon Beast was remarkably strong, endowed with basic defensive talent. However, the needle was made of a special metal and, amplified by elemental forces, had powerful penetrating ability, breaking through the beast's defenses.
Inside the syringe was a very special anesthetic made from a mixture of numerous natural treasures. It could virtually anesthetize most high-level beasts unless they had a poison-resistant talent.
The five Grandmasters exclaimed in excitement.
They had actually prepared several syringes, all carried by the Grandmaster with low speed talent. They didn't expect to succeed on the first try, but the Swift Dragon Beast had let down its guard and was successfully injected.
Ye Tian witnessed the entire scene, a realization dawning on him: "So they're not aiming to kill the Swift Dragon Beast, but rather to capture it. Many grandmasters capture top-tier ferocious beasts to sell, and that's how the Demon Sea Base gets a lot of its beasts. A young King Beast is unimaginably valuable; no wonder they're here to capture it!"
If the capture of a young King Beast were successful, sacrificing 100 or even 1000 elite warriors would be worth it. Once they controlled this young King Beast, they'd essentially hold the reigns to a future King Beast, sufficient to rejuvenate a major clan. Even Ye Tian might not be able to afford such a young King Beast.
However, Ye Tian had no interest in capturing the young King Beast. First, he currently had no need for money, and second, capturing a young King Beast would undoubtedly offend not only the young King Beast itself but also the true King Beast behind it. Capturing a young King Beast could easily provoke a swarm of beasts.
It was said that forty years ago, the capture of a young King Beast enraged a terrifying King Beast, which nearly led an army of King Beasts and top-tier ferocious beasts to break through the Demon Sea Base. That battle resulted in the death of Typhoon King and more than five other powerful King-level warriors, not to mention countless grandmasters.
A Swift Dragon Beast might be on the weaker side among King Beasts, but angering one was not a good idea. He might sell the young King Beast only to be betrayed later. If a swarm of beasts did emerge, he could be scapegoated.
Therefore, even if he killed the young King Beast, he couldn't take it back to the Demon Sea Base.
It had to be said, the five grandmasters were daring, willing to capture a young King Beast. Maybe they planned to make their fortunes and then flee to other major bases.
Soon enough, the Swift Dragon Beast could no longer resist the effects of the anesthesia and collapsed. The five grandmasters were overjoyed.
"Let's finish off the other ferocious beasts!" They immediately began slaughtering the remaining high-level beasts. In a short time, nearly all were killed, with only a few managing to escape.
"We survived!" A one-handed elite warrior rejoiced. But before he could catch his breath, a sword slit his throat. In his dying moments, he saw a familiar figure: one of the five grandmasters. Alas, he was dead and had no chance to ask why they had killed him.
The remaining elite warriors were terrified, already guessing what was to come.
"I'll give up the 50 billion, just let me go!"
"I'm from the Hong family of Demon Sea Base; you'll not get away with killing me!"
"I don't want to die, I'll serve you, please let me go!"
No matter how the few elite warriors begged, threatened, or compromised, they couldn't change the decision of the five grandmasters.
"Doesn't matter who you are, our business with the Swift Dragon Beast must remain a secret; you all must die!" One grandmaster spoke somberly.
In an instant, the remaining elite warriors tried to flee in different directions. However, a grandmaster with a low speed talent easily and swiftly killed them.
Finally, only Ye Tian remained.
"Kid, you have a basic speed talent. You might have a slim chance of escaping. Why aren't you running?" The five grandmasters curiously looked at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian opened his mouth, revealing his pearly white teeth, and said innocently, "Because I can kill you all."
