Chapter 309: Platinum Ancestry Return
```
"It was just a chance discovery of this vein, and I merely played a minor role in propelling things forward," Ming Junting said nonchalantly. Stay tuned to empire
Looking at Ming Junting, who did not deny it, Chen Xing pondered, "Did you expect so many people to come this time?"
Today, Beast Tamers from Stone City and Jiu Chi City weren't the only ones who came to the Lake of Fire; a great number of Beast Tamers from the entire Fentian Domain, and even from places outside the Fentian Domain, had arrived.
As long as the Teleportation Array remained open, distance was not an issue for the Beast Tamers from other territories.
However, Chen Xing was worried about one thing.
If they stimulated the Lake of Fire, it was likely that most of the Beast Tamers who came would be buried in it.
It was too dangerous, and it would attract great enmity.
Ming Junting shook his head, "Those who are above Transcendence just need to retreat in time and they will be fine. The Lake of Fire targets only those Beast Tamers below Transcendence. At this time, who would dare to compete for the treasures? Would there be any ordinary Beast Tamers? As for those who don't know the times, let them die if they die."
...
Three days later, in the eastern district of the two-thousand-li Lake of Fire.
Looking around, a scarlet expanse rolled endlessly.
The distant setting sun was like blood, and a large area of the forest by the lake had been cut down, leaving an open space.
The Huangshi Mercenary Group and the Ashen Fox Mercenary Corps were located inconspicuously at the edge, with a rumbling tremor coming from the not too distant earth.
Turning to look, they saw a pale giant creature slowly approaching.
Its appearance resembled a pale torch, with its body surrounded by an iron wire-like enclosure, and its chest cavity filled with raging flames.
Fierce flames burned atop the behemoth's head, piercing the firmament, and in front of its chest was an outward extending platform, on which stood quite a few people.
The giant creature moved with seemingly deliberate steps, but they were quick. Each step it took left deep footprints behind, and the movement was accompanied by crackling sounds of burning flames.
"I hadn't expected even the Pale Enforcer from the Golden Metropolis to be drawn here," Ming Junting revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He knew that the event would attract many Beast Tamers, but he hadn't expected such a heavyweight to appear.
Zhao Guangming, standing to the left of Chen Xing, introduced the Pale Enforcer to him.
"The Pale Enforcer is one of the famed powerhouses of the Golden Metropolis. It's said that the species is called the Pale Enforcer, unique of its kind."
"The Golden Metropolis is to the west of the Fentian Domain, quite far from us."
Golden Metropolis... Chen Xing thought of the Fentian Domain and the Bibo Territory, and couldn't help but ask, "Does the Golden Metropolis predominantly have Beast Tamers with the Gold Element Attribute?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangming chuckled and said, "Not at all.
"Many people, upon first hearing the name Golden Metropolis, would think that the territory primarily consists of Gold Element Beasts, but that's not actually the case.
What the Golden Metropolis has the most of are actually Wood Element Beasts! Three thousand years ago, there was a saying that the Golden Metropolis had an immeasurable expanse of verdant waves without end.
In that region, the air is rich in Wood Element Magic Power, with vast forests stretching as far as the eye can see.
Three thousand years ago, the Golden Metropolis was not known by that name; it was called the Jade Divine Territory.
However, some accidents occurred later on, and a group calling themselves the Gold Clan arrived in the Jade Divine Territory, forcefully taking over the Jade Giant City and transforming it into the current Golden Metropolis.
At that time, the several territories around were on alert, but aside from taking over the Jade Giant City, the Gold Clan did nothing else, and they have not left the Golden Metropolis over the years.
The Pale Enforcer is not a beast under the Gold Clan. It is said to be quite special, originally the city lord of White Flame City, and it also didn't look like it does now. Later, when it appeared again, it had become what it is now. Some speculate that the Gold Clan possesses some kind of transformative contaminating ability, which you could understand as an evolution of Beast Taming."
Ming Junting added from the side, "It is said that it induces a certain bloodline in the Beast Tamer's body to mutate."
Chen Xing's gaze settled on the distant Pale Enforcer.
[Species] Skyscraping Bone Tree (Platinum Ancestor Return)
[Attribute] Wood, Fire, Gold
[Quality] Purple Sovereign
[Energy Level] 200
[Energy Level Limit] 200
[Divinity] 1 (Divine Blessing: Hardness Strengthening +1)
[Height] 213.5 meters
Behind the species name was a Platinum Ancestor Return... What is this, Chen Xing's thoughts wandered, bringing to mind Little Void's Platinum Mutation.
Both had the word 'Platinum,' could it really be a coincidence?
"I remember now, it seems I've heard somewhere before that the people of the Golden Metropolis like to search for creatures that are different from ordinary monsters, those whose body colors have undergone certain mutations, like those animals with albinism we used to see," Zhao Guangming mused thoughtfully.
If Chen Xing was only guessing before, now after hearing Zhao Guangming's words, he was nearly certain that what the Golden Metropolis sought was the Platinum Mutation.
Apart from Little Void, Little Void also possessed a mutated bloodline.
However, Little Void's was a deep red mutation.
It was unclear whether that was also one of the mutations sought by the Golden Metropolis.
If such mutations were harmless and could stably improve the strength based on the Beast Tamer's own species, it might be a good method.
But Chen Xing preferred not to assume the best,
He decided to send a message to his sister when he got back, advising her to avoid summoning Little Void in crowded places as much as possible.
When the Pale Enforcer arrived, some knowledgeable Beast Tamers at the scene recognized its identity.
Its massive size made it hard not to notice.
"Boss, the fish have bitten," a Jin Ye Guard came from behind and whispered to Ming Junting.
"Hmm," Ming Junting hummed softly.
His facial expression remained unchanged, still looking pensively in the direction of the Lake of Fire.
Chen Xing, standing beside Ming Junting, also heard it, his ears twitching slightly.
The fish have bitten?
Had the Giant City Guard Army arrived?
