Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Beneath the cyan sky, a ten-thousand-foot ice mountain stood majestically, appearing to pierce the heavens and connect the earth when viewed from its base to its summit.

At the foot of this ten-thousand-foot ice mountain, there was another astonishing spectacle: an ice horse, a hundred meters tall, circling the mountain.

Li Cunxu, upon escaping and seeing the slowly moving ice horse, couldn't help but rejoice; he had reached his destination.

At that moment, a corner of the clouds in the sky parted, and the sun's rays shone down like a pillar, reflecting upon the ten-thousand-foot ice mountain. Under the reflection of the ice, the mountain transformed into a dazzling golden mountain, and the ice horse became a radiant golden steed.

Jiang Lingyun anxiously said, "There's an unknown pet beast ahead, it looks very strong, we should turn back quickly."

Li Cunxu said, "Don't be afraid, it won't attack you, and it's precisely our target for this trip."

"Didn't you say we were coming here to find something?"

"Yes, the key to the Blue Seed Gourd is on it."

Li Cunxu glanced again at the small black dots gradually approaching in the sky behind them.

"Moreover, we need it to evade the powerful enemies behind us."

The closer they got to the ice horse, the more they felt its immensity, especially when its enormous ice hooves slowly came down.

"What kind of pet beast is this ice horse?"

"The Glacial Giant Horse is the dedicated warhorse of the Frost Giant race from ancient times. They are born with Lord-level strength, over ten meters tall. Upon adulthood, they are guaranteed to be Overlords, with their size reaching at least fifty meters. This one is over a hundred meters tall; it was a King-level pet beast in its lifetime."

"Lifetime? What do you mean? Is it dead? Like the Ice Wraith Mammoth, which died and was resurrected into an undead pet?"

"It's different. This one was made into a puppet out of someone's twisted sense of humor, and it's been pacing around here ever since."

Sima Jing caught up, and he also saw the excessively tall Glacial Giant Horse. He felt immense dread in his heart, but the intense unease brought by the continuously burning black ominous flames above his head forced him to grit his teeth and chase after them.

When he saw Li Cunxu approaching the Glacial Giant Horse and noticed that the horse didn't attack him, Sima Jing immediately realized that there was something strange about this Glacial Giant Horse.

Glacial Giant Horses are known for their extremely brutal nature and strong aggression. In ancient times, only the Frost Giant race, who were even more cold-blooded and cruel than them, could tame them. Seeing Li Cunxu approach without being attacked was truly illogical, but for Sima Jing, it was a good thing.

If Li Cunxu were kicked to death by the Glacial Giant Horse, who would he find to dispel this damned black fire?

Sima Jing saw that Li Cunxu wasn't running anymore and assumed he had given up resisting, but as he approached, he saw Li Cunxu wave goodbye to him before leading Jiang Lingyun headfirst into the Glacial Giant Horse's just-landed hoof.

The next second, Li Cunxu and Jiang Lingyun disappeared.

"Another spatial teleportation technique? Tracking Hound, continue searching."

The Tracking Hound shook its head and pointed at the Glacial Giant Horse.

What does it mean? Sima Jing didn't understand.

The Tracking Hound wasn't Sima Jing's pet beast; he had stolen it from a murdered Alliance police officer, so he couldn't communicate with it seamlessly.

As for why the Tracking Hound listened to him so obediently?

It was because the Tracking Hound was controlled by his pink-haired three-headed dog.

The pink-haired three-headed dog was a bizarre offspring of a Hellhound and a succubus, extremely skilled in charm and control, especially towards canine and wolf-type pet beasts, where the charm effect was multiplied tenfold.

Sima Jing immediately summoned the pink-haired three-headed dog to translate.

"This time, it's not a spatial teleportation trace, but a trace of entering a secret realm. Are you saying they entered a secret realm?"

"Where is the entrance to the secret realm?"

The Tracking Hound pointed at the Glacial Giant Horse and barked a few times.

The pink-haired three-headed dog translated, "It says the entrance to the secret realm is on that big ice horse."

The entrance to the secret realm is on a Glacial Giant Horse that seems to have been refined into a puppet. Sima Jing hesitated whether to enter. A secret realm entrance set on a King-level Glacial Giant Horse; without a doubt, this secret realm must be very special.

Going in might expose him to some kind of danger.

But not going in, this strange black fire above his head was truly irritating.

While Sima Jing was hesitating, the Sky巡逻 Eagle began to strike at the ice and snow again, attempting to extinguish the black fire, but the black fire was incredibly strange and unaffected by anything. No matter what he did, it wouldn't go out.

After hesitating for a long time, Sima Jing still gritted his teeth and entered.

Both he and the Sky巡逻 Eagle had a premonition that if this fire didn't go out, they would die.

...

Upon entering the secret realm, what greeted them was a Colosseum in the style of ancient Rome.

Inside the Colosseum, a giant lion and a giant tiger were fighting.

"Where is this place?" Jiang Lingyun looked around.

"A secret realm."

"Like the ones in the old man's stories at the village entrance, a world much smaller than a small world."

"Yes."

"If we can come in, can that person come in too?"

"Yes, this secret realm doesn't have any barriers. Anyone can enter."

Jiang Lingyun looked towards the entrance, anxiously saying, "Then let's quickly find a place to hide."

Li Cunxu grabbed Jiang Lingyun, "The outside is a spatial wall, you can't get out. This secret realm is only as big as this Colosseum."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean they can see us as soon as they come in? Aren't we doomed?"

"Don't worry, we're very safe here. This is the Phantasmal Beast Fighting Secret Realm, built by an Emperor-level big shot who loved watching pet beasts fight. Within this secret realm, private fights are forbidden. If you want to fight, you can only go to the Colosseum for a life-or-death duel. If you fight privately, you'll be punished by the secret realm's rules."

"Come, let's sit down and watch the beast fight."

Li Cunxu enthusiastically pulled Jiang Lingyun and began introducing the rules of the Phantasmal Beast Fighting Secret Realm.

"The most important thing in the Phantasmal Beast Fighting Secret Realm is this Beast Fighting Coin."

Li Cunxu took out a Beast Fighting Coin with an image of the Colosseum from his pocket.

"Feel your pocket."

Jiang Lingyun took out a Beast Fighting Coin identical to Li Cunxu's from her pocket.

"When did you put it in my pocket?"

"I didn't put it there, the secret realm did. Everyone who enters the Phantasmal Beast Fighting Secret Realm for the first time will be given a Beast Fighting Coin."

Jiang Lingyun asked, "What's the use of this Beast Fighting Coin?"

"Beast Fighting Coins can be exchanged for treasures stored in the secret realm's treasure vault. There are many, many good treasures in its treasure vault. There was even a Godhood that appeared inside once, but unfortunately, it was exchanged by the ancients."

Li Cunxu's purpose for this trip to Ice Capital was to obtain the Blue Seed Gourd from the Ice Flame White Dragon King's treasure. Li Cunxu knew the location of the treasure, but opening it required a key.

Initially, the key to the treasure was on a Beast Master. That Beast Master was very unlucky. While searching for the treasure, he accidentally entered the Phantasmal Beast Fighting Secret Realm and, because he didn't know the rules of the Colosseum, he participated in a beast fight and accidentally died in the Colosseum. The treasure key was therefore collected into the Colosseum's treasure vault.

Fortunately, the Colosseum doesn't understand the true value of the treasure key and it can be exchanged for just one Beast Fighting Coin.

However, Li Cunxu wouldn't use his Beast Fighting Coin to exchange it, because there are hidden pitfalls in the Colosseum. Those who don't understand and rashly use the free Beast Fighting Coin won't be able to leave.
