After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

And the Titan's Heart that had been swallowed by Taotie was now exposed to the air, but at that moment it had undergone some subtle changes.

The black patterns on its surface had spread out without anyone noticing, and the heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

Could it be that Taotie's physical body was about to hatch again from the Titan's Heart?

Witnessing this scene, Chen Xing speculated in his mind.

The fifth wave of attacks arrived.

It was countless shadows clad in tattered cloaks, under which were transparent, pale blue contours.

Just as these shadows were about to launch their attack, a deafening thunderclap suddenly burst through the void.

This thunderclap reverberated through the heavens, spreading for miles around.

The dark clouds above were scattered by the shock, leaving behind a vast emptiness.

Under the startling thunder, the myriad shadows in the void trembled for a moment.

Suddenly, those pale blue bodies burst apart, like balloons popped, and the tattered cloaks fell like autumn leaves, scattering across the valley and vanishing upon touching the ground.

About three minutes later, a crisp bell sound suddenly broke the silence from afar. The sound was melodious, echoing over the empty plains, sticking out strikingly.

In the light of the blood-red moon, at the end of the plain, a peculiar figure appeared.

It was a groundhog, but it stood upright like a human, carrying a bundle several times bigger than itself on its back, covered with a red cloth that seemed to house something alive, something wriggling inside it.

With the movement, silhouettes occasionally emerged on the surface of the red cloth.

The groundhog's movements appeared slow and clumsy, yet its speed was astonishingly fast. It approached the group steadily and swiftly like a gust of wind.

"I think I've heard of this thing," Qiu Shangqing squinted his eyes upon seeing the humanoid groundhog.

"In an old legend from the Exotic Region, after a person dies, they are said to encounter the Netherworld Rat, which takes the deceased away in the bundle it carries on its back, then transports them to the Netherworld."

A legend?

The first thing that came to Chen Xing's mind was the Path of Legends.

Could this groundhog be the Netherworld Rat?

It was at that moment that the Domain Stele shone brightly.

It emitted dazzling golden light, which shone upon the groundhog's body.

Holes appeared on its surface, emitting green smoke.

Seeing this, it stopped, raising its head to look at the Domain Stele ahead.

It made no sound, nor did it continue its advance.

Chen Xing sensed something strange, this sixth wave of monsters was different from the previous five waves, it actually stopped.

Could it possess intelligence?

The groundhog stood in place for a moment, then raised its head to look at the red moon overhead.

After a moment of silence, it took off the red cloth bundle it carried on its back.

Gently lifting a corner, the contents inside, desperate to escape, surged out, a multitude of dark shadows rushed toward Taotie. Upon closer inspection, these shadows were clearly soul bodies of monsters, all of them menacing, with crimson eyes.

After releasing some of the dead souls, the groundhog tied up the red cloth again tightly and slung it back onto its back.

Without looking at the outcome, it turned around and departed the way it had come.

The intermittent ringing of the bell echoed across the plains, growing fainter in the distance...

"These are undead creatures," Qiu Shangqing said gravely.

Undead creatures were quite rare in the Exotic Region, mainly because it lacked the environment necessary for them to exist; without a habitat, it was difficult for them to grow and thrive.

The Domain Stele shone brightly once again, and as the undead creatures entered the range of the light, they all turned to ash, leaving behind only some transparent, pale-blue crystalline powder on the ground.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, anticipating the seventh wave of attacks.

But the seventh wave took a long time to come.

Suddenly, a beam of red light shot down from the red moon in the sky, enveloping the place where Taotie was located!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As time progressed, the Titan's Heart began to show a dense network of cracks, like the fine patterns that bloom on the surface of a shattered porcelain...
