The Gold Rank beasts temporarily retreated because Jiang Ziliu's attacks were too unpredictable and terrifying.

Moreover, the underground environment here is not conducive to them launching a collective attack.

Most importantly, for some special reasons, no beast dared to cause a super earthquake in the Great Broken Ridge Region to force out the hidden figures below.

On the one hand, the earthquake might directly bury the Dragonblood Beast; on the other hand, doing so would alert the terrifying beings in the Great Broken Ridge.

The longer a beast has lived in the Great Broken Ridge, the more aware it is of this.

Moreover, they didn't want to benefit the Gold Rank beast tamers of other Wisdom races.

For their beast tamers, dragon blood represents the best bloodline evolution, and they couldn't possibly remain inactive.

The strange beasts had temporarily retreated, which relieved Jiang Ziliu.

What he needs now is to stall for time.

Although the powerful members of those Gold Rank beasts had retreated, they hadn't gone far, so he still had to be careful.

This time, Jiang Ziliu was truly grateful to the beast tamers of the Wisdom race who acted as the sixth in command.

They used the alien beasts as cannon fodder, and now they have finally aroused the beasts' vigilance and fear, making Jiang Ziliu's situation better than ever before.

The longer the time drags on, the better the situation will be for the Lightning Dragon Lady White, who is receiving the blessing of the dragon's source.

But now, for those beast tamers who are lurking outside, the situation has changed.

The beast tamer Jiang Ziliu behind the dragon-transformation life was exceptionally powerful, causing even those powerful Gold Rank alien beasts to retreat.

This left the Gold Rank beast tamers of various races, who had originally planned to appear last and seize the dragon's blood at the lowest possible cost, completely dumbfounded.

They want their beasts to evolve, and seizing the current dragon blood is one of the few ways to do so.

Now that the beasts have retreated, if they don't advance, it will only allow Jiang Ziliu's tamed beasts to complete their transformation.

Some people are still lying in wait, hoping that someone else will break the deadlock.

Some people, however, couldn't contain themselves.

After all, there are some young people among the Gold Rank Beast Tamers who are very confident in their skills and abilities.

For example, at this moment, a figure like a shadow quietly crept up to Jiang Ziliu's location.

This is a unique beast of the Wisdom alien race, the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan, and also Gold Rank beast, the Shadow-Lurking Nether Serpent.

The highest growth potential for this type of shadowy, serpentine beast is only at the Gold Rank.

If it wants to improve, it must devour high-level bloodlines such as dragon blood, which can transform snakes, and only after completing the evolution of its bloodline can it break through to the Diamond level or even higher.

Otherwise, the Shadow Nether Serpent, whose potential has reached its limit, will become a shackle for the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan, the beastmaster behind it.

The relationship between beast tamers and their beasts is a special kind of mutually beneficial symbiotic one.

The growth of the beast will, in turn, improve the growth of the beast tamer.

Similarly, if the beast tamers all reach a growth limit and cannot progress further, then the beast tamer's growth will also hit a bottleneck and they will be unable to improve further.

If a beast tamer stops at the Gold Rank, then his lifespan will also stop at the lifespan limit corresponding to the Gold Rank.

However, the SS Grade beasts corresponding to the Diamond Rank, and even the SSS Grade beasts at the higher level, are not so easy to contract.

Beastmasters inevitably hit a bottleneck once they reach a certain level of mastery.

To break through this barrier, one must encounter an opportunity similar to evolving by consuming dragon blood, allowing their tamed beast to evolve.

The Shadow-Lurking Nether Serpent lurked in. Although it was in the Shadow Dimension, it still couldn't escape Jiang Ziliu's powerful soul force perception.

If it weren't for needing to ascertain the true identity of the beast tamer behind it, Jiang Ziliu would have already killed this Gold Rank shadow beast!

Although the Shadow-Lurking Nether Serpent can lurk in the shadows, it is really bad at Aura Concealment.

Jiang Ziliu not only detected its own aura on it, but also the aura of its beast tamer.

Jiang Ziliu is now fully activating his soul, searching for the hiding place of the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan by following this aura.

The Shadow-Lurking Nether Serpent wanted to attack Jiang Ziliu. Only by eliminating Jiang Ziliu could the beast behind it have a chance to break the protective power of the Lady White and seize the dragon blood.

However, Jiang Ziliu started spinning around erratically, and the Azurite Rock Man A Kun recovered in place, making it unable to find an opportunity to attack.

Because every time it attacks, Jiang Ziliu will move to a place where a single, fatal blow won't be effective.

By maneuvering around in this chaotic manner, Jiang Ziliu was constantly toying with the Shadow Nether Serpent, making it continuously seek opportunities to attack Jiang Ziliu.

However, Jiang Ziliu also knew that given enough time, the Shadow Nether Serpent and the Beastmaster behind it would realize what was happening.

But they were destined never to discover this.

Jiang Ziliu had already used his soul power to search and found the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan behind the Shadow Nether Serpent.

This is a strange race with a snake's tail and a human body.

However, he was less than two feet tall, and his upper body was only similar to a human's. His whole body was covered in scales, his ears were very large, and his skin was pure black.

As Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan, it has many gray-black lines on its snake-like tail.

These lines are the mark of their affinity with shadow-type beast tamers, and the reason they are called the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan.

This Wisdom alien race has the best compatibility with shadow-type beast tamers, and is highly compatible with shadow-type snakes.

This little guy is young and arrogant.

Instead of lurking in the shadows, he hid in the canopy of a tree directly above Jiang Ziliu.

Furthermore, he also possesses a unique beast with a purely eye-like structure called the Shadow Demonic Eye.

This strange beast is only of the Silver Rank, but it can see through the earth.

It is precisely through its perspective that this Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan is so confident, and acts in a way that does not involve its true form hiding in the shadows.

Jiang Ziliu's flying knife moved silently through the earth's space to its back, thus launching an attack from a spatial perspective.

With a flash of light, the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan was sliced into five pieces.

Meanwhile, on the other side, under Jiang Ziliu's covert command, A Kun suddenly launched an attack from the Earth-space level to the Shadow level.

A Kun possesses extraordinary power at the Earth Space level, which allows him to strike the center of the Shadow Layer.

Jiang Ziliu's attack failed to kill this Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan, because his vitality was extremely strong, and with the support of shadow power, this guy was able to regenerate from severed body.

The Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan Beastmaster's body seemed to rapidly reassemble as if it had been severed and was now a shadow.

Although he recovered, he was severely injured!

As for the Shadow Nether Serpent, it was directly knocked out of the Shadow Realm by A Kun, and then Jiang Ziliu finished it off with a single move, using electromagnetic power and gravity to grind it into mincemeat, making it beyond dead.

The death of the beast caused the already severely injured Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan member to suffer a further backlash.

But this guy was no ordinary person either; at the last moment, he used a shadow escape technique similar to the Heavenly Demon Disintegration to make his escape.

If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by wolves and his focus was on protecting Lady White, who had evolved into Lightning Dragon, Jiang Ziliu would never have left this hidden danger, allowing this Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan to escape.

However, the scene of a Gold Rank beast tamer being severely injured or even nearly killed by Jiang Ziliu was extremely frightening.

This scene successfully served as a warning to the other Gold Rank beast tamers who were itching to try something similar.

The aura of the severely injured Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan did not escape their notice.

Everyone is watching closely what's happening around them.

Everyone wanted to obtain the dragon's blood, but no one wanted to be the one facing the powerful attack from the mysterious beast tamer, and no one wanted to be the first to stand out.

Because they could see that the beast tamer below was far more powerful than an ordinary Nine-Star Gold Rank beast tamer.

Their intelligence gathering capabilities, skill level, and skill application are all extremely strong, and they definitely have powerful hidden trump cards that no one knows about.

As for how many cards the opponent has up their sleeve, no one knows.

So far in the battle, the opponent has only deployed one summoned beast, and has only made moves that have been somewhat concealed.

Such a powerful beast tamer, by making a move at this moment, is destined to be the one Jiang Ziliu focuses his attacks on, and is also destined to be eliminated.

In this situation, no one wants to be the first to act; everyone is waiting for someone else to make the first move.

With everyone being from the Alliance, the situation was actually more favorable to Jiang Ziliu. This was precisely why he went all out to attack the Thread-Tailed Shadow Clan, and even exposed his spatial abilities.

Jiang Ziliu's decisive ambush this time forced the lying-in-place followers to hide again. The time he had been waiting for for Lady White's transformation to end was drawing ever closer!
