Chapter 76
The Ultimate Attack! The Immortal Journey of the Cursed Moon!!!
Ten minutes ago.
Lin Yueyao scurried back to her room in a disheveled state and collapsed onto her bed, looking utterly dejected.
Unexpectedly, she not only failed to complete the mission, but also lost a bottle of divine beast essence, suffering a double loss.
Humiliation, utter disgrace!
"That wretched Snow Ghost!"
Lin Yueyao was so angry that her teeth itched, and she wished she could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
How could such a despicable person exist in this world?
Not only did he steal her thunder, he also deceived her feelings!
Most importantly, when she accepted the task of persuading Xue Youyou, she solemnly pledged her allegiance to the New Moon Saintess.
"This is terrible! How am I going to explain this to the Holy Maiden of the New Moon?!"
Thinking of the terrible consequences of failing to complete the mission, Lin Yueyao felt like crying.
It's important to know that her superior, the Crescent Moon Saintess, is no pushover. In fact, she is arguably the most ruthless of the four saintesses, having hunted down countless beast tamers throughout her life. She is a notorious murderous witch in the Moon Worship Cult.
Even though Lin Yueyao was terrified just thinking about it, she didn't dare to have the slightest thought of running away.
Because once you're labeled a traitor by the organization, there's no point in running away to the ends of the earth; you'll only face certain death. Begging for mercy might offer a glimmer of hope.
With things having come to this, Lin Yueyao could only grit her teeth, extend her trembling hand, and muster the courage to dial a number marked with a red exclamation mark.
Drip, drip, drip...
Ding--!
The call was connected.
Lin Yueyao nervously swallowed, then cautiously reported, "Saintess New Moon... I failed my mission."
"..."
There was no human voice on the other end of the phone, only the howling of the wind.
Lin Yueyao didn't dare to ask any more questions. She sat obediently on the bed, anxiously awaiting her fate.
About three minutes later, the New Moon Saintess's voice finally came through the communicator: "Useless thing, don't you even realize your identity has been exposed?"
Lin Yueyao was startled upon hearing this and accidentally bit her tongue. She hurriedly defended herself, saying, "Holy...Holy Maiden, she swore to me that she would never reveal the contents of tonight's conversation."
"You useless piece of trash, there are two other people in her room."
On the other end of the phone, the New Moon Saintess sounded somewhat impatient.
Lin Yueyao looked shocked: "Huh? I don't know!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone, as if they were thinking.
After a long silence, the New Moon Saintess's voice rang out again: "And where did you learn this weak persuasive style from? Do you know how we recruited new members when our Moon Worship Cult was just starting out?"
Lin Yueyao, not daring to speak, said, "Please enlighten me, Holy Maiden."
"Listen carefully. When the cult leader recruited me, he only said eight words: 'Submit or die!'"
"This is the foundation of our Moon Worship Cult. Even the toughest beast tamer will kneel before death, just like I did when I first won the championship. Tonight, I'll personally teach you how to take down a tough nut!"
The call ended abruptly as soon as I finished speaking.
Drip, drip...
Before Lin Yueyao could even process what the New Moon Saintess had said, a deafening metallic explosion ripped through the air, shattering the tranquil night sky with its terrifying sonic boom.
Boom! ...
At the same time, Lin Yueyao and the bed were thrown into the air, and under the force of inertia, they slammed hard against the wall, as if the airship had just crashed into a steel plate.
What the hell is that noise?!
Lin Yueyao was dumbfounded.
With great effort, Lin Yueyao moved the bed board that was pressing down on her, walked to the window, opened it, and peeked out. Her pupils dilated in shock.
Under the bright moonlight of the night sky, a silver dragon, more than ten times the size of the airship, was coiled atop it. The dragon's tail alone wrapped around the airship more than a dozen times, forcibly stopping it in mid-air.
Unlike the Western dragons, which are shaped like giant lizards, this silver dragon is more similar to the Eastern dragon in shape. It is extremely slender, and its body can be coiled and stretched like a chain, as flexible as a giant python.
Its entire body is covered in silvery-white scales, each scale edged with a faint emerald green, slightly upturned, like the armor of a dragon. Under the moonlight, the scales gleam with a cold, emerald-like luster.
It spreads three enormous wings from behind, the wing membranes a crystalline, moon-white color, the skeleton like a metal frame, and bony spikes extending from the wingtips. When the three pairs of wings are spread, they resemble six enormous blades, which can be used for flight, as well as for defense or cutting.
Most striking is the terrifying dragon head with a hundred mouths—layers upon layers of interlocking sharp teeth that seem capable of tearing apart any prey.
Above the silver-purple dragon eyes stood a woman with a voluptuous figure, dressed in a black tight-fitting leather outfit.
The woman was wearing a crescent-shaped mask that just covered the area above her nose.
"Lady New Moon Saintess!"
Gazing intently at the graceful woman under the night sky, feeling her unparalleled charm, Lin Yueyao couldn't help but murmur excitedly.
The Beast Tamer has already appeared, so the name of this enormous silver dragon that blots out the sky is also obvious.
The Moonlight-type Mutation Evolution Path of the Four-Phase Pet Aoki—Ultimate Form·Bio Species·Crimson Moon Immortal Journey!!
This scene was naturally witnessed by more than just Lin Yueyao.
In fact, after the intense impact of the airship being intercepted, everyone had woken up and seen the horrifying scene outside the window.
Air raid!
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if a shadow had fallen over them.
However, all the students present were elite beast tamers from Lanzhi Academy.
Even without receiving an emergency assembly order to intercept, they all sprang into action, quickly dressed, ran out of their rooms, and spontaneously gathered on the deck.
As for Lu Yuan, the dean of Lan Zhi Academy who was in charge of leading the team, she had already rushed to the deck ahead of everyone else.
Facing the colossal creature before him, many times larger than an airship, Lu Yuan's face was grim. Her voice trembled as she questioned, "May I ask who you are? Why have you attacked us without provocation?"
Faced with Lu Yuan's terrified question, the New Moon Saintess replied indifferently, "It's alright to tell you. My name is Long Xi. When I was still an academy beast tamer, people called me the Silver-Winged Dragon Maiden."
"However, that was a title from more than 20 years ago, and I guess not many people still remember it now. As for you, all you need to know is that I am the Ultimate Beastmaster."
Although the New Moon Saintess's voice was not loud, it could be clearly heard throughout every corner of the airship.
Ultimate Beastmaster!!
Why would the ultimate Beastmaster attack a bunch of nobodys?!
Those who heard this cruel truth with their own ears felt a chill run down their spines and their scalps tingle.
Although everyone had a vague suspicion the moment they saw Nie Yue Jue Xian You, the New Moon Saintess's admission completely shattered their last glimmer of hope, and the little fighting spirit and courage they had painstakingly accumulated vanished without a trace.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's legs went weak, and she knelt down in front of everyone.
Silverwing Dragon Girl – Long Xi, even if the younger generation of beast tamers don't know her, how could this old thing forget her?
This is a super genius beast tamer from her era, the top ten king of the league more than twenty years ago, and the captain of the double-crown team!
Sure enough, unlike her who gets more useless with age, a genius beast tamer like Long Xi has already achieved ultimate fame.
Lu Yuan pleaded bitterly, "Please... please, Lord Long Xi, let us go. We were just passing by on our way to participate in the Academy League. If we have unintentionally disturbed your rest, I am willing to apologize."
However, neither the Dragon Dawn Bird nor the Deer Kite.
Lu Yuan knew her, but she didn't know Lu Yuan.
Long Xi leaped down from the dragon head of the Nieyue Juexianyou and landed lightly on the deck.
After scanning around, I found that Xue Youyou was not among them.
So, Long Xi beckoned to Su Wanrou, who was hiding behind the crowd, with her finger: "You brown-haired girl over there, come here for a second."
