264: They didn't even leave us any crumbs.

He raised his hand slightly, conjuring a shield.

With a loud bang, the Thunder-Summoning Bomb was blocked.

Wu Xiwei frowned as a trace of blood seeped from his palm. "What a domineering magic attack skill."

He then took out a beast taming card and released another spirit beast, leading everyone far away from the dangerous battlefield.

When they reappeared, they were already atop a high-rise building.

From here, they could clearly see the scene of the two giant spirit beasts slaughtering each other in the distance.

Rumbles echoed as lightning and rocks flew everywhere, devastating building after building.

Before long, the outcome of the battle was suddenly decided.

After another barrage of strikes from the sky, the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage was knocked out of its Sealed Earth Domain state, reverting to its original bamboo shoot-like spirit beast form.

Unlike when it first arrived, the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage was now bruised and battered, its aura withered, and one of its arms was broken.

"The Origin-Grade Spirit Beast won?"

Wu Xiwei's eyes burned as he looked at the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage; this was likely the Legendary-grade spirit beast's weakest moment.

If he charged out now, he might be able to use a beast taming card to subdue it!

That was a Legendary-grade spirit beast!

Every beast taming card sealing an Epic or Legendary-grade spirit beast could be sold for a massive amount of beast taming gold coins and traded for anything one desired.

"Floating Shadow Kingdom—Guardian Demon Lord."

Beside Wu Xiwei, a spirit beast's figure gradually manifested—a tall skeleton in fine robes holding a blood-colored spear, resembling a monarch of the Netherworld.

Not just him, but the other Beast Tamers were all rubbing their hands together, summoning their respective spirit beasts one after another, preparing to snatch the kill.

Even more excited were the various top beast taming Families and business conglomerates of the Ruoxi Region; even the Ruoxi Region General Beast Tamer Association began planning to make a move.

After all, such a Legendary-grade beast taming card was something one could only hope to encounter by chance!

Behind these people lay boundless wealth.

Money and resources were no problem for them at all.

If they could obtain such a powerful spirit beast, it would truly be a wonderful thing!

"Send out the word, mobilize funds, and prepare to bid!"

"Contact all of our Shenglong Group's networks in advance."

Many people issued orders, looking forward to subduing the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage.

However, in the next moment, something happened that left everyone dumbfounded.

Before they could act, the Origin-Grade Spirit Beast suddenly opened its mouth, releasing an irresistible suction that swallowed the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage into its belly.

"What? It... it ate it?"

Seeing this, the Ruoxi Region General Beast Tamer Association, the Beast Tamers on site, the citizens of Shenglan City, and even those watching the live stream almost had their eyes pop out.

Did the Origin-Grade Spirit Beast just casually eat a Legendary spirit beast like that?

This scene was like a first-class protected animal eating a second-class protected animal in his previous life.

Brutal, so brutal.

Heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.

Wu Xiwei and Consort Li beside him were both filled with deep regret.

"The Legendary-grade spirit beast is gone."

"The city reconstruction funds are gone."

But soon, some "geniuses" suddenly realized something—the Legendary-grade spirit beast was gone, but wasn't there still an Origin-Grade Spirit Beast here?

"Luo Zhengtang, do you have any ideas?"

"Madman, get lost, I don't know you."

"Even if you're looking for death, this isn't the way to do it."

Let alone them, even Wu Xiwei, who had the highest beast taming Rank on the scene, didn't dare to harbor any designs on the Origin-Grade Spirit Beast.

After the initial few seconds of fervor, those "geniuses" finally came to their senses.

Just now, they had actually felt covetous toward a "god."

Fortunately, everyone around them was calm, or they really would have gone to their deaths.

"Phew, thank you, everyone. I almost lost my head there."

"Mm-hmm, it's fine."

After those few spoke, the atmosphere cooled down.

Right now, they were waiting—waiting for that Origin-Grade Spirit Beast to leave Shenglan City.

Although the battle between the Origin-Grade and Legendary-grade spirit beasts caused immense destruction, fortunately, Shenglan City had evacuated its citizens in time.

Aside from some West District residents killed by the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage at the start and the Beast Tamers who died in battle, there were no other casualties.

Most importantly, many Heaven And Earth Treasures were left behind after this battle.

These included but were not limited to: the Origin-Grade Spirit Beast's Dragon Breath, scattered arcs of electricity from the Thunder-Summoning Bomb, and severed limbs of the Natural Immortal Spirit Little Mage.

Even if they couldn't catch a Legendary-grade spirit beast, these leftover Heaven And Earth Treasures were still excellent and could be sold for high prices.

However, Li Jinian's body coiled in mid-air, and he took another breath.

Everything in the entire West District filled with spirit beast Spiritual Qi was swallowed into his belly.

Having finished this, Li Jinian didn't linger. He flapped his wings and leapt up, twisting his Dragon body to quickly leave Shenglan City.

He left quite decisively, leaving behind a chorus of wails.

"No!!!"

"He didn't leave a single thing for us. We can't even get a speck?"

"The Heaven And Earth Treasures are gone!"

"Brutal, so brutal!"

"Dammit! Doesn't that mean we came all this way for nothing?"

Many Beast Tamers present were incredibly depressed; they hadn't expected the dignified Origin-Grade Spirit Beast to be so "brutal," not even leaving them a speck.

"Sigh, forget it. To see an Origin-Grade Spirit Beast in one's lifetime is enough to make it worthwhile."

"Yeah, that's enough."

Subsequently, a large number of Beast Tamers entered Shenglan City to repair and rebuild the West District and search for the victims.

As dawn broke, Shenglan City, having endured such suffering, finally welcomed peace and tranquility... On the other side.

Li Jinian flew out of Shenglan City, heading straight toward the southeast.

The massive Dragon-shaped silhouette loomed on the distant horizon; he seemed to be searching for something.

Before long.

Li Jinian dove down, reached a lake, and plunged straight in.

Opening his mouth, he directly ate the lake's original owner—a certain Rank 40 fish spirit beast. Crunchy, tastes like chicken.

The ripples on the lake settled, and when Li Jinian emerged again, he had reverted to his Beholder form.

Sensing his Fellow Countryman Wen Xinyi's location, he immediately set off to return to the Stana Orphanage... "Beep beep beep, beep beep beep."

The alarm clock rang, waking the four girls in room 612 from their dreams.

After turning off the alarm and lingering in bed for a few minutes, the four of them got up one after another, skillfully taking their things to go wash up.

During the process of washing up, the events of last night gradually reached Wen Xinyi's ears.

A great crisis has struck Shenglan City!

A Legendary-grade spirit beast destroyed the city!

An Origin-Grade Spirit Beast appeared!

Such topics were not only hot in the Stana Orphanage, but many instructors on the campus of the Elementary Beast Taming Academy were also discussing them.

This included classmates as well as Meng Junjiang, who was also at the Stana Orphanage; they were all discussing it fervently.

At first, although Wen Xinyi was somewhat curious, she didn't pay too much attention.

As usual, she did what she had to do. After finishing her classes, she prepared to take Dog Thing to the Xinglan Spirit Taming Field to grind levels.

By chance, on the way to the Xinglan Spirit Taming Field, she saw the footage of the two spirit beasts fighting last night on a giant display board of a large shopping mall.

"Slifer the Sky Dragon?!"

Wen Xinyi exclaimed in shock. Beside her, Li Jinian, who was pretending to be a Beholder, was also shocked.

Oh no, this Fellow Countryman actually recognizes Yu-Gi-Oh cards...
