"The first round of the Beast Fighting Tournament is over, and my Xia family has lost! All ten champions who challenged before my Xia family's turn will enter the second round unscathed!"As soon as he...Beneath the boiling sands, black scorpions the size of a human head continuously emerged.

In the blink of an eye, at least a thousand scorpions appeared around Jiang Yun's side, densely packed, making people shudder.

This is a Sand Scorpion. Although it's only a fifth-rank ferocious beast, its temperament is ferocious, appearing in large groups, and with its venom, even a cultivator at the ninth level of Marrow Expansion would not want to tangle with it. Now that Jiang Yun has cornered himself, he is in danger.

Among the onlookers, someone recognized this scorpion's origin, and upon hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

If one could kill them with a strike, it would be easy. But since they can't be killed and only tamed, the best way to deal with so many sand vipers is to flee in terror.

Thousands of sand scorpions, each wielding their two pincers and raising their blade-like, gleaming tails high, surged forward towards Jiang Yun relentlessly.

Seeing Jiang Yun’s calm expression, as the venomous scorpion crawled closer to his feet, a fierce light suddenly erupted in his eyes. He pointed at the blood dripping from his arm and simultaneously exuded a bloody aura.

"Damn it!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the blood on Jiang Yun's arm exploded, transforming into a cloud of crimson mist. It surged and condensed rapidly, forming a colossal bloody hand, as vast as the sky itself, crashing down upon all the Sand Poison Scorpions.

Initially, Ginger Cloud used this very technique to strike down Zheng Yuan who was in mid-air. Now that he has reached the eleventh level of Meridian Opening, the power of this technique has naturally risen dramatically, no longer just a point but transformed into a palm strike.

"Buzz!"

The Blood Palm slammed down, causing the yellow sand beneath to tremble. The Sand Venom Scorpions caught within its grasp were instantly struck dumb, frozen in place as if paralyzed by fear.

Disciples of the Beast Taming Dao, besides carrying a special sachet on their person to ward off ferocious beasts, will learn several beast imprints once they advance to become Outer Gate disciples.

The function of the beast mark is to use spiritual energy to form a seal and imprint it into the body of a ferocious beast, thus attempting to tame it.

Although Ginger Cloud possesses no beast imprints, the bloody aura emanating from him naturally has a deterrent effect on ferocious beasts. Coupled with his Mist-Killing Technique, which focuses primarily on intimidation, he devised this method to subdue the ferocious beasts!

Strictly speaking, this wasn't taming, but Jiang Yun's only purpose was to leave here, so he didn't care either.

As Jiang Yun looked around at the motionless sand vipers, he raised his foot to leave. However, just as his foot was about to land, the sand viper closest to him suddenly raised its tail hook and stabbed fiercely at Jiang Yun's calf.

A sharp, metallic *clink* echoed out. The desert scorpion's tail was not only severed by the direct strike, but its entire body was sent flying backward.

Now that Ginger Cloud's physical body is so powerful, even blades can't harm him. How could he possibly be pierced by a mere fifth-order beast

However, as this sand scorpion was flung back, the rest of the stationary sand scorpions suddenly came to life. From afar, they looked like a black ocean surging towards Jiang Yun.

This sudden scene caused Ginger Cloud's brows to furrow, sensing something amiss. In Mang Mountain, even a ninth-order ferocious beast would tremble before his aura, yet now this poisonous scorpion, under the combined pressure of his aura and the Mist Suppression Technique, was able to resist control.

But at this moment, he had no time to ponder the reasons. Although he wasn't afraid of these Sand Poison Scorpions, the rules of the Spirit Beast Diagram forbade killing a ferocious beast!

Even if he doesn't make a move, given his formidable physical strength, if the Sand Scorpion uses a bit more force, there's a high chance he could be crushed to death.

Unwillingly, Jiang Yun could only begin to dodge!

Fortunately, Ginger Cloud's speed and reflexes were fast enough. Her feet moved continuously, and in an instant, she had already escaped the scorpion swarm.

Looking from afar at the throngs of scorpions that were still constantly swarming, Jiang Yun's brows gradually furrowed.

If one cannot intimidate these ferocious beasts, then the exit to the Phantom Beast Diagram cannot be found. In that case, even if one can endure three hours and reach the end, it will still be a failure to conquer the peak.

Looking at the swarm of scorpions surging towards him again, Jiang Yun was truly helpless. He could only continue to dodge quickly. Just then, Bai Ze's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "What are you doing"

Ginger Cloud simply explained her situation, and after listening, Bai Ze fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's not that your intimidation doesn't work, it's that all the ferocious beasts in this space have been controlled by a demonic beast. No, even this demonic beast is being temporarily controlled by a human!"

"What!"

Hearing Bai Ze's words, Ginger Cloud's face was immediately filled with shock.

Because Dongfang Bo made it very clear, although the Huan Beast Diagram is usually under Wan Hongbo's control, when it is opened, the ferocious beasts and monsters inside are unowned beasts. Otherwise, how could they be tamed

Who controlled that demon beast

"Interesting, she's a little girl! She and the monster aren't far from you. Instead of saying these little beasts were attracted by your blood, it's more likely they were driven here by her!"

Fang Ruolin!

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Yun almost instantly knew the other party's identity. Apart from Fang Ruolin, no one else would proactively attack him within this Phantom Beast Map.

However, a different question arose in Ginger Cloud's mind: why was Fang Ruolin able to control the demonic beasts

You must know, demon beasts are equivalent to cultivators of the Human Blessed Land realm. Even if one encounters them oneself, there's no guarantee of control. Yet, Fang Ruolin is actually able to do so!

Furthermore, why would she know her location After all, everyone's starting point within the Illusory Beast Chart is completely random.

Could it be that the Master of Bai Shou Peak is secretly helping her

The idea was quickly rejected by Jiang Yun, because he knew that countless people must be watching the situation here right now. If Wan Hongbo really dared to make a move in secret, even if he could fool others, he would definitely not be able to fool Gu Bulao.

"Then the only possibility is that before Wan Hongbo opened the Fantasy Beast Diagram, he gave Fang Ruolin some benefits, allowing her to not only control the demon beasts within the diagram but also know my location."

"The purpose of all this, naturally, is to kill me!"

Although Jiang Yun didn't know that Wei Zhengyang had already found Wan Hongbo, his analysis was almost entirely correct. After figuring things out, a cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes as he said: "Can you tell me where she is"

What are you going to do

"I want to kill someone!"

Since this mythical beast diagram allows disciples to die, and between myself and Fang Ruolin, it's already a situation of life or death. Now that she has made her move first, don't blame me for being impolite.

“Murder!” Bai Ze’s voice carried a hint of delight. “Originally, I could have taken your request as a wish! However, I enjoy killing the most, and I haven’t had a kill in quite some time, so I’ll do you a favor. She is about a hundred miles west of you. Additionally, the monster she controls is the demon lord within this space, which means it is the strongest.”

Before Bai Ze could finish speaking, Jiang Yun, with a face full of killing intent, strode westward.
