Target: Lord-Level Monster!
"There are still a few High-Level Beast General monsters on the streets. I'll collect them all first."
Qin Ming flipped onto a rooftop and carefully searched from above. Before long, he found suitable targets.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After several rapid flashes, Qin Ming landed heavily on the ground. The Tiger Cat followed close behind, shielding him from the rear.
Without needing a word, Qin Ming sent out a mental command, and the Tiger Cat lunged directly at a pack of Lion Mastiff Dogs lurking in the street.
Flying knives tore through the air as souls howled.
With just those two moves, even High-Level Beast General monsters were no match for him.
With a High-Level Beast General Tiger Cat at his side, the monsters drawn in by the blood and screams could not even get close to Qin Ming.
Before long, the entire street had fallen deathly silent.
Half a day later, Qin Ming had five Advanced Beast Generals following him.
They were the Fire-scaled Trident Boar, Iron-armored Ox, Purple Lightning Python, Tiger Cat, and Green-scaled Eagle. All five monsters had been carefully selected by Qin Ming, each with its own strengths.
The Fire-scaled Trident Boar and Iron-armored Ox were massive and possessed extremely strong defenses, making them suitable for the front line to absorb damage.
The Purple Lightning Python, meanwhile, possessed a particularly unique ability—long-range electrical attacks!
It had electric organs within its body. Even if the high-voltage currents it released could not kill an enemy in one strike, they could still cause severe paralysis.
As for the Green-scaled Eagle, it was a flying monster with a wingspan exceeding twelve meters, its entire body covered in blue-black scales.
Such a massive flying monster could not only monitor the battlefield from the sky and participate in combat, but also serve as a flying mount.
Qin Ming had put considerable effort into hunting that Green-scaled Eagle, because flying Advanced Beast Generals could already break the sound barrier.
One moment of carelessness, and it would have escaped.
"The Blood Essence consumed to refine a Flesh Puppet is closely related to its size. Both are Advanced Beast Generals, but refining a Fire-scaled Trident Boar consumes more than ten times the Blood Essence needed for a Tiger Cat!
"If the corpse is badly damaged, it consumes even more Blood Essence.
"I just never expected Blood Essence to have the effect of regenerating severed limbs."
Leaning against the balcony, Qin Ming watched the five Advanced Beast Generals slaughtering monsters below.
After monsters died, their souls were collected into the Myriad Souls Banner. They could retain their consciousness from before death and communicate.
Naturally, he could have them hunt on their own.
Although their efficiency could not compare to him doing it personally, if their numbers were large enough, they would definitely form an immensely powerful force.
It would also free him from slaughter so that he could focus on training himself.
The effect of regenerating severed limbs was a new function discovered during the monsters' hunts.
Qin Ming had never been injured before, so naturally, he had never noticed it.
Earlier, the Tiger Cat had been wounded by other monsters while hunting. When Qin Ming used Blood Essence to repair it, he was delighted to discover that as long as it was fed enough Blood Essence, it could recover no matter how severe its injuries were.
Regenerating severed limbs was only a minor matter.
Qin Ming had reached that conclusion after personally capturing several monsters and repeatedly experimenting on them.
"Still, this Mind Communication Method is really too useless."
Qin Ming frowned and turned to look at a Primary General Level Tiger Howl Dog lying beside him with all four limbs broken.
Besides controlling mental weapons, Spiritual Force User Basics also contained some Illusionist techniques, as well as the Beast Tamer's Mind Communication Method.
Qin Ming had studied all of them.
Perhaps because his soul was powerful, he had mastered Illusionist techniques extremely quickly.
He had learned attacks and bewildering techniques such as Spiritual Spike, Illusion Demon Eye, and Dream Maze in less than half a day.
He had even used them while sparring with Zhang Yan and Qian Ye.
However, Qin Ming rarely used them in actual combat.
After all, why spend so much effort when he could simply control a monster soul and send it directly into the opponent's Sea of Consciousness? This kind of Soul Attack was far simpler and more efficient.
Moreover, when multiple monster souls attacked a single target at once, their power could stack.
As for the Beast Taming Chapter—
It contained only the Mind Communication Method.
With so many Flesh Puppets, Qin Ming naturally intended to try playing the role of a Beast Tamer.
Yet even with his powerful Mental Force, he had been unable to make even a Primary General Level monster submit.
Because this so-called Mind Communication Method was, plainly speaking, just using Mental Force to communicate with monsters.
Monsters possessed intelligence as well.
And once they reached the Beast General Level, their intelligence was already quite high.
Of course, Qin Ming had no intention of slowly communicating with them and becoming friends. There was only one word for it.
Fight!
Beat them until they submitted.
Wasn't that how beast taming worked?
Yet after spending half the day at it, he still had not achieved any good results.
And even if it succeeded, the risks would still be great.
Because Beast Tamers did not truly possess any powerful means of controlling monsters.
"Forget it. I'll just practice casually. It's only a cover anyway. Maybe I can try using the Myriad Souls Banner. It can enslave the souls of dead monsters, but can it do the same to living ones?"
After trying for a while, a thought emerged in Qin Ming's mind.
He acted as soon as he thought of it. His powerful Mental Force wrapped around the Tiger Howl Dog with its four broken limbs and sent it into the Myriad Souls Banner.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tens of thousands of monster souls roared within the Myriad Souls Banner as endless black energy churned.
The instant the Tiger Howl Dog entered the Myriad Souls Banner, its entire body stiffened, its aura turned cold, and its soul flew out of its body.
"Dead?"
Qin Ming watched the scene with some regret, though he was not too surprised.
After all, this was the Myriad Souls Banner, not the Beast Taming Banner.
"Forget it. With the three Lord Level monster souls in the Myriad Souls Banner, along with five Advanced Beast Generals, perhaps I can try hunting a Primary Lord Level monster."
Qin Ming took a deep breath and looked at the tens of thousands of roaring monster souls within the Myriad Souls Banner.
[Banner Master: Qin Ming (Junior General Level Martial Warrior, Advanced General Level Spiritual Force User)] [Living Souls: 72928/100000 (3 Lord Level)] [Main Soul: 0/1] [Blood Essence: 3218 /100000]
After the continuous hunts, the Living Souls within the Myriad Souls Banner had already surpassed seventy thousand. They were very close to the threshold of one hundred thousand.
But there was still not much Blood Essence.
After all, half of it had been used to repair the Myriad Souls Banner itself.
"After consuming roughly two thousand monster corpses, the activity range of the souls within the Myriad Souls Banner has increased somewhat, reaching one hundred and twenty meters.
"With five Advanced Beast Generals absorbing damage in front, and three Lord Level monster souls possessing flying knives to attack, I can already try hunting a Lord Level monster."
A hint of eagerness gleamed in Qin Ming's eyes.
Although the souls within the Myriad Souls Banner could only move within a range of one hundred and twenty meters, that did not mean they lost all attacking ability beyond that distance. It was merely that the farther they got from the Myriad Souls Banner, the weaker their soul bodies became and the more their power declined.
It was the same as the effective range of a firearm.
An effective range of eight hundred meters did not mean you could catch bullets barehanded beyond eight hundred meters.
"There's a Primary Lord Level Giant Rock Black Bear over there. Its strength is great, but its movement speed is slow. I can give it a try!"
Qin Ming rose to his feet, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
If he could hunt a Lord Level monster and turn it into a Flesh Puppet, the benefits would be immense.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Just as Qin Ming was about to act, however, the Communicator on his wrist began to ring.
The moment he saw the name displayed on it, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
