Beast Taming Patrol

This…

Is this the place for the Oath Ceremony?

Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Throughout their walk, the crowd had been oblivious to any oddities, but now, the scene that revealed itself clearly was no longer any location within the Beast Association.

How magical…

Lin Su couldn't help but look around, and finally his gaze settled on the alloy pillars evenly spaced apart.

A quick count revealed there seemed to be exactly two hundred of these alloy pillars.

Such a corresponding number couldn't possibly be a coincidence.

So, did their upcoming Cooperation Oath have something to do with these alloy pillars, as well as the splendid crystal orbs atop them?

After delivering everyone to this place, the staff members quietly left.

On the quiet Oath Square, a calm voice emerged, drowning out all the whispers among the crowd.

It belonged to a man who had already been standing on a platform at the front of Oath Square, who, compared to the vast and resplendent square, seemed so minute that nobody had noticed his presence before.

"Welcome to Oath Square," the man began calmly, "Next, I shall serve as the guide for the Cooperation Oath, and lead you through it."

"Before we begin the Cooperation Oath, a reminder."

"There is a 1% to 2% chance of sustaining injuries during this Cooperation Oath. If anyone objects, you may withdraw now."

Despite these words, nobody showed any sign of backing down.

Those who made it to the Cooperation Oath were all newcomers who had experienced battles and combat on the frontier.

They hadn't been deterred by the 5% mortality rate of the preparatory camp for cooperation, so such a small chance of injury wouldn't faze them either.

"Since no one objects, please stand in front of an alloy pillar, one person to each, and place one hand over the crystal orb."

Without the man's prompting, the crowd had already guessed that the Cooperation Oath was related to these alloy pillars, so they had previously scattered and taken their places. Now, following the instruction, they quickly placed their hands over the crystal orbs.

On their faces, they wore intense looks of anticipation.

They were eager to see what this mysterious Cooperation Oath was all about.

"Next, no matter what happens, don't be surprised, don't create an uproar, stay quiet!"

"Now, close your eyes, and follow me in the Cooperation Oath!"

"I'll say a line, and you repeat after me!" Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

The man's gaze swept over everyone, and only after confirming that all had closed their eyes, he began in a deep voice.

"I swear!"

"I swear…" a uniform voice came from the square.

Then, a slight stir began to emanate from the space.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the man's prior warning not to make any noise regardless of what happened, some would likely have cried out in shock by now.

Lin Su, with his eyes tightly shut, didn't make a sound, but his facial expression was one of extreme astonishment.

Despite having his eyes closed and seeing nothing but darkness, when he uttered the words "I swear," a light suddenly appeared before him.

It was a colorful glow as resplendent as the one from the crystal orb in his hand.

The glow, at first a small dot, expanded at a terrifying speed, quickly filling Lin Su's entire field of vision, banishing all darkness.

Then, as the light gradually dimmed, Lin Su saw everything clearly.

It was an eye.

An impossibly huge eye, sparkling with a resplendent luster!

Just that one eye was as large as a small hill, inspiring awe and terror.

As the eye's owner slowly withdrew its protruding head, Lin Su finally saw the entire creature.

It was a colossal beast with slender limbs, a body like a cat or a tiger, a head with antlers, and a long tail. Its body was covered with cloud-like, fabulous long fur. Apart from the especially beautiful, bright eyes, the most eye-catching feature was the faintly visible unicorn on its forehead.

It was a horn that shimmered between illusion and reality, like a crystal, like a gemstone glowing; each shift of light brought with it a majestic and ethereal mist.

Seeing that the form of the beast stretched for thousands of meters, Lin Su felt nothing but shock.

Immortal-tier!

This was an Immortal-tier mystical creature!!!

Moreover, it was an entirely new Immortal-tier that wasn't part of any known to Lin Su!!!

This Immortal-tier creature bore no malice, looking at him with curiosity and goodwill, and it had appeared in the midst of the Cooperation Oath ceremony...

Could it be... It was an Immortal-tier of the Yanhuang Alliance?

The Yanhuang Alliance has an Immortal-tier creature?!

"I shall wield great power to protect the weak!"

The man leading the oath in the front continued, his voice breaking Lin Su's train of thought.

"I shall…"

The responses from below were sparse at first but soon regained uniformity.

The crowd realized they were still in the middle of the Cooperation Oath and quickly gathered their senses.

While experiencing the beast that had suddenly appeared before them, beyond description in words, they followed the man's lead, trembling as they made their pledges.

The words of the oath proceeded line by line.

"…"

"I shall guard all the secrets of the Alliance!"

"I shall be ready to fight for the Alliance at all times!"

"I shall never betray the human camp!"

"If I break this oath, I am willing to relinquish my identity as a Beast Tamer!"

"The Oath is established!" Finally, the man shouted.

As his voice fell, the image of the giant beast in Lin Su's vision began to slowly fade away.

It could have been an illusion, but Lin Su felt the beast had deeply looked at him for a moment before disappearing.

The so-called Cooperation Oath seemed not much different from a normal pledge.

Except for the last line, which was somewhat special, the rest was just a normal oath.

If I break this oath, I am willing to relinquish my identity as a Beast Tamer…

How so? In what way would one relinquish it?

While Lin Su was still silently contemplating the meaning of the last sentence, he suddenly heard screams and cries of surprise nearby.

He opened his eyes abruptly and, in astonishment, saw two of the newcomers in different parts of the area collapsing to the ground in agony, bleeding from their orifices, and their pets also became violently agitated at the same time.

Lin Su's pupils contracted sharply.

This condition was...
