Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 571 - 515: Purple Star Bamboo Shoot

An uneventful night passed, and the three of them left the hotel early the next day.

Having already found out the location of the Teleportation Array the previous day, the three did not take any detours and arrived at the Teleportation Array within fifteen minutes.

Chu Chen looked at the several City Defense Army soldiers guarding the Teleportation Array, and with a flip of his hand, produced a "Dragon" emblem token from his Spatial Ring.

The leading soldier, a burly man with a full beard, saw the token and his expression suddenly changed. He quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Greetings, sir. I will activate the Teleportation Array for you immediately."

Without any pretension, Chu Chen tossed out a King Level Star Core and headed towards the Teleportation Array.

The bearded man took the Star Core and, after a quick glance, his eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Seeing this, Chu Chen simply stated, "Keep it."

"Yes... yes, thank you, sir, for the reward," the bearded man replied, full of excitement.

With a nod, Chu Chen stepped directly into the Teleportation Array.

As a white light flashed, Chu Chen and the other two disappeared from Xuemei City.

The City Defense Army soldiers hurriedly gathered around the bearded man and asked, "Captain, those people just now didn’t have any soul power fluctuations. Why did you treat them with such respect?"

The bearded man did not explain but opened his palm for them to see.

"This... this Star Core is so large, and the Star Power inside is incredibly rich. What level is this Star Core?"

"I guess this Star Core is at least Lord Level."

"I think it’s more likely a Soul Master’s Star Core."

After some discussion, they were unable to reach a definitive conclusion and turned to the bearded man for answers.

"Captain, what level is this Star Core really?"

"King Level."

"What, King Level?"

"Shh! Keep it down."

"Who are these people that they can casually produce a King Level Star Core?"

"Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked. I’ll treat you all to a night out at Baihua Tower tonight."

"Captain, you’re amazing!"

"Long live the captain!"

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. During this time, the three traveled through ten teleportations to reach Cyan Wood City, the nearest city to Purple Bamboo Valley.

As they were about to reach their destination, Chu Chen was in no rush and decided to stroll around the city.

The scenery here was in stark contrast to Xuemei City.

Xuemei City was snowy, while Cyan Wood City was lush and green, with greenery everywhere, even vines climbing the surrounding city walls.

The three walked along, admiring the scenery, meeting many Beast Masters with plant-based Guardian Beasts, which greatly broadened their horizons.

Continuing a little further, Chu Chen turned his attention to Shi Feng.

Over the past five days, as they passed through more than a dozen cities, Shi Feng’s behavior became increasingly normal, and it seemed he would soon fully adapt to city life.

An hour later, as night began to fall, the three found a hotel to stay in and enjoyed a sumptuous meal.

This time, while eating, Chu Chen and the others finally returned to their usual selves.

The next day, the three left Cyan Wood City early and headed towards Purple Bamboo Valley.

Purple Bamboo Valley was quite far from Cyan Wood City, and despite Shadow Kill’s speed, it took half a day to reach it.

Looking at the mist-covered mountain pass, Chu Chen couldn’t help but sigh. This was indeed a very hidden place; even with the exact location, finding Long Batian and the others was no easy task.

At that moment, the swirling mist seemed to be stirred by some creature.

Chu Chen, on alert, immediately summoned Lei Yao.

"No need to worry, it’s me." A familiar voice came from the mist.

Chu Chen relaxed instantly, respectfully saying, "Teacher, you’ve come in person."

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a huge cyan dragon head emerged from the mist, with a middle-aged man standing atop it—none other than Long Batian.

"Gather your Guardian Beasts and follow me," Long Batian’s voice slowly commanded.

Without hesitation, Chu Chen retrieved Lei Yao and his other beasts into his Soul Sea, then leaped to Long Batian’s side.

Seeing this, Shi Feng and Su Zixuan quickly followed. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Long Batian patted Chu Chen on the shoulder, examining him for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "You’ve lost weight, but you’re sturdier."

Chu Chen replied with a smile, "No need to worry, teacher. I’m doing well. By the way, this Purple Bamboo Valley seems quite mysterious. Would you show us around?"

"Haha, come on. I’ll give you a good tour. Although Purple Bamboo Valley is a valley, it’s very vast, with many Star Beasts living within, and they are quite powerful."

Chu Chen couldn’t hide his surprise, not expecting Purple Bamboo Valley to hold such secrets.

At this moment, the Cyan Dragon had already set off, its massive body floating slowly above the bamboo sea.

"Hey, what’s that?" Chu Chen pointed to a white bamboo spewing mist.

Long Batian chuckled as he explained, "That’s the Purple Bamboo Demon, of perfect level quality. Its attack means are very weak, but the mist it emits has quite a remarkable effect for entrapment."

"Is this mist in Purple Bamboo Valley all its doing?"

"Indeed, they use the mist to conceal themselves and disorient their enemies, trapping them in the fog."

The mist at the valley entrance was extremely dense, making things invisible, but with the Cyan Dragon being at the Peak of Monarch Level, this bit of mist posed no hindrance to its power.

Chu Chen carefully expanded his soul power to sense the situation within the valley.

Near the entrance were mainly the Purple Bamboo Demons, with the occasional sighting of some bamboo rats and insect-type Star Beasts, though their strength was quite weak, and Chu Chen had no interest in disturbing them.

As they delved deeper, the number of Purple Bamboo Demons decreased, and the mist lightened considerably.

With Chu Chen’s eyesight, he could see things clearly within ten meters.

"Is that the Purple Bamboo Demon?" Chu Chen pointed to a bamboo that was entirely purple.

"Yes, the Purple Bamboo Demon’s disposition is gentle. It won’t attack unless provoked."

Chu Chen nodded but continued to gaze at the Purple Bamboo Demon.

This particular Purple Bamboo Demon’s aura had reached Monarch Level, standing around ten meters tall.

Chu Chen immediately summoned the Slaughter Atlas to check its information.

The Purple Bamboo Demon, a wood-element star plant, had average attack and defense means, without any particularly dazzling features.

Long Batian, as if reading Chu Chen’s thoughts, explained, "The Purple Bamboo Demon isn’t very powerful, but do you know why this valley is named after it?"

Chu Chen, pondering briefly, hesitantly replied, "Is it because of their numbers?"

Long Batian laughed and shook his head: "The Purple Bamboo Demon is a unique treasure plant. Once mature, each one produces a Purple Star Shoot. These shoots are not only delicious but also rich in Star Power, making them a rare treasure."

Chu Chen, surprised, quickly looked at the base of the Purple Bamboo Demon, only to find it empty, with no sign of a Purple Star Shoot.

Seeing this, Long Batian laughed out loud, "Haha, don’t bother looking. We’ve already harvested the Purple Star Shoots here. I’ll have someone prepare them for you to taste when we return."

Chu Chen couldn’t help but laugh with him.
