It was also possible to ensure that the Pet Beasts entering it would, to a certain extent, be unable to resist his commands.

Unless the other party fiercely resisted, even to the extent of involving life-and-death matters, he could, in theory, properly train them.

So, could these wild Pet Beasts be tamed?

At this moment, as Su Ping rode the Dragon and slowly descended towards the valley, pondering how to recruit this vast flock of birds, two shadowy figures were stirring beneath the trees at the valley’s edge.

They resembled two large grey mice, constantly scurrying furtively.

Using their fairly decent concealment techniques, they evaded the perception of the bird-type Pet Beasts in the sky.

If Su Ping were to see their faces, he would definitely be slightly startled.

The reason was simple: he knew both of them.

In fact, these two were of great importance to him.

This was because the Five Elements generation and restriction principles he was currently studying had been obtained from these two brothers.

Indeed, these individuals were none other than the Zhang Family brothers he had encountered in the Magic Capital, who were unofficial tomb raiders.

However, Su Ping probably never imagined that after leaving the Heart of Woods, the brothers hadn’t returned to their hometown but had instead ended up in such a desolate, wild mountain range.

The two brothers were well-disguised; their bodies even emitted an aura resembling that of real plants.

This meant even the bird Pet Beasts flying overhead failed to notice them.

"Bro, it’s really here! Judging by this setup, this tomb is no small find!" an excited and exhilarated voice spoke from one of the figures concealed by the tree trunks.

It was Little Zhang, the younger of the two.

However, the tall and sturdy Da Zhang, unlike his younger brother, wasn’t nearly as excited. His eagle-like eyes were focused intently on the situation within the valley.

While traveling by train on their way home, the two brothers had used their ancestral Secret Technique to discover something amiss.

They disembarked at the nearest city and explored for half a month before finding some peculiarities. Following these observations led them here.

Seeing his elder brother silent, Little Zhang asked with renewed curiosity, "Bro, what level of Secret Realm do you think this is? Could it really be another Saint’s Secret Realm?"

Da Zhang exhaled, shaking his head under the cover of the tree trunks, "Whatever kind of Secret Realm it is, you have to be alive to enjoy it, Little Bro. This situation feels a bit off to me!"

Little Zhang was taken aback.

"What’s wrong?" Little Zhang asked.

Da Zhang, however, did not entertain his brother’s blind optimism.

"Bro, what do you think we should do then?"

Da Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, then let out a long breath. "Let’s wait and see. Regardless, no Monarch-Level or higher beings have appeared yet. If any wild bird Pet Beast of that level appears, we retreat immediately. If it stays like this, we’ll keep waiting until the Secret Realm entrance appears."

Little Zhang, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

He and his brother had been holed up here for a day already.

Little Zhang chuckled, "Bro, if you want to stay and see, just say so. Why bring up Advanced Level Pet Beasts? This is the hinterland, with Beast Master Associations and stationed Beast Tamer Legions in every city. How often do you see a Monarch-Level flying Pet Beast? You might as well say we’ll pack up and leave if a Dragon shows up."

His words had barely faded when a WHIZZING sound of wind passed over their heads.

Neither made a sound; both hid themselves completely.

However, what left them utterly stunned was that as the WHIZZING wind died down, a tremor came from not far in front of them.

They mustered the courage to look ahead.

Its rough, rock-like Dragon Scales; its horns, resembling antlers and distinct from the spiraling horns typical of the Western Giant Dragon Clan; its elongated body floating two meters above the ground.
