Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 230: Subduing the Beast with Virtue

"I’d like to ask if there are any Commander Stage undead creatures nearby?"

Through his beast language ability, Chen Mo politely inquired.

No undead creatures paid him any attention.

The intelligence of undead creatures is generally low, and at the moment, they were all immersed in the Soul Smoke.

So Chen Mo put away the Undead Bread and asked again.

"Crack crack..."

"Crack?"

...

Compared to spiritual beasts of other attributes, most undead type spirit beasts appear not very intelligent, acting solely on the obsessions from their previous lives, unable even to comprehend Chen Mo’s words.

Seeing no way to communicate, Chen Mo put away the Undead Bread, grabbed the small skeleton that had started the fire, and headed to the next area to light the Undead Bread again.

"Crack crack..."

Like before, skeletons crawled out of the earth, but unfortunately, Chen Mo’s desired target was still not among them.

Thus—

"Bro, lend me some fire again."

"Crack!!"

"Lend me some fire!"

"Crack."

"Fire."

"Crack..."

...

The little skeleton, from initially being unyielding, gradually laid down flat, and eventually even enjoyed it.

Because every time the Undead Bread was ignited, it got the first inhale.

Finally, after trying more than ten times and changing over a dozen locations, when Chen Mo once again borrowed fire to ignite the Undead Bread,

the earth not far away rumbled, and a ghost horse appeared before Chen Mo, standing nearly two people high, its body formed entirely by ghostly blue flames.

Around the ghost horse, a gray mist condensed from Death Aura spread, causing quite some discomfort.

Chen Mo scanned its information with the Spirit Master Bracelet.

[Spiritual Beast Name: Ghost Horse]

[Attribute: Undead]

[Growth Level: Third-tier Commander]

[Species Level: Commander Ninth Rank]

[Description: A ghostly horse born from the soul of a dead warhorse nurtured in death energy. The gray mist it emits unconsciously absorbs the life force of other living beings. Once the knight’s most loyal friend, even in its undead form, it still hopes to find its destined master. It is the most friendly undead species towards humans.]

"Finally, it’s here!"

Chen Mo was somewhat excited.

This ghost horse in front of him was exactly what he was looking for!

After inhaling the Soul Smoke emitted by the Undead Bread, the ghostly blue flames in the ghost horse’s eye sockets flared up intensely.

The ghost horse even displayed a human-like smile.

"Neigh!"

Having tasted something sweet, the ghost horse let out a sharp neigh, fiercely driving away the surrounding undead creatures, and began to enjoy its feast alone.

Seeing this, Chen Mo leapt onto the ghost horse’s back.

The blue flames beneath him gave off a cold touch, but Chen Mo’s fire resistance was high, and thanks to the effects of his entry, he did not suffer any substantial harm.

The ghost horse was busy inhaling Soul Smoke and did not notice the sudden appearance of a human on its back.

"Come with me! Then you can eat Undead Bread every day from now on!"

Seeing the ghost horse had almost finished eating, Chen Mo used his beast language ability to speak.

"Neigh!" *(muffled sound)*

The ghost horse let out a series of incomprehensible sounds.

Was that agreement or disagreement?

Chen Mo felt a bit perplexed, as it was his first time encountering a situation where his beast language ability was ineffective.

It wasn’t about low intelligence; it was just that communication was impossible...

He glanced at the entry manual and found the entry for [Undead Knight] was still unfulfilled.

"Is the method of taming through food not feasible? Or has it not been tamed yet?"

At this point, the ghost horse beneath him perhaps felt the amount of Soul Smoke was insufficient and the flame not intense enough, so it used its Soul Fire to ignite the Undead Bread.

Once the blue Soul Fire ignited the bread, the Undead Bread started burning vigorously, while emitting a dense black smoke.

Chen Mo found the smell somewhat pungent and covered his nose, while the ghost horse appeared increasingly intoxicated.

However, after intensified burning, the Undead Bread was soon completely consumed.

The ghost horse, on the other hand, seemed full of spirit.

Upon closer observation, the soul fire in the ghost horse’s eye sockets had grown much deeper. One of the effects of the epic-level Undead Bread is to enhance the growth level of undead type spirit beasts.

After taking several inhales, the small skeleton from before had already broken through from Transcendent First Stage to Transcendent Second-stage.

"Neigh!"

After showing off the Undead Bread, the ghost horse beneath Chen Mo grew irritable, turning its horse head 180 degrees and looking at Chen Mo with a gaze that bore a hint of threat.

The meaning was clear—it wouldn’t move without more bread.

Chen Mo suddenly understood why the entry challenge wasn’t completed.

The ghost horse simply didn’t take him seriously.

For most spiritual beasts, delicious food can increase their favorability. Some greedy spiritual beasts can easily be contracted by luring them with delicacies.

However, for undead type spirit beasts with no sense of good or evil and simple minds, delicacies cannot "tame" them; they even take the food as offerings from weaker creatures!

Chen Mo sighed deeply.

Not yielding to soft approaches, it seems?

As expected, in the end, he must conquer beasts with virtue!

"Ooh~"

Xiao Jiu looked eager to give it a try.

With its current strength, dealing with this ghost horse would be a matter of minutes.

However, this challenge was exclusive to the Spirit Master, so Chen Mo’s spiritual beasts should not interfere.

And Chen Mo’s personal strength, even with his entries equipped, at best matched the combat power of a high-level Transcendent beast. It would still be quite difficult to subdue this ghost horse.

Moreover, undead type spirit beasts have stronger battle power. Their greatest feature is fearlessness of death because they are hard to kill.

Unless the Soul Fire is extinguished, they can continue to absorb death energy to "repair" their bodies.

But Chen Mo soon devised a strategy.

He took out the fishing rod used before, tied the Undead Bread to it, borrowed fire from the little skeleton once again, and then dangled it in front of the ghost horse.

"Whoosh~"

Seeing the Undead Bread, the ghost horse instinctively started running to get a bite. However, the Undead Bread was constantly about 20 centimeters out of reach, a tantalizing distance just beyond its grasp.

With generally low intelligence, this ghost horse was no exception. It didn’t notice anything amiss and immediately began a frenzied pursuit.

The Soul Smoke drifted with the wind, further invigorating it, and prompting it to run even harder.

Chen Mo’s strategy was to first exhaust the ghost horse’s energy, then engage it in a fair 1v1 duel!

"Yay!"

"Woo!"

"Ji!"

Xiao Jiu, Tuantuan, and other beasts were all stunned by Chen Mo’s crafty move.

They aren’t human, but Chen Mo truly acts like a dog!

The ghost horse sped across the land, and along the route, undead creatures catching a whiff of the soul scent started crawling out from the earth.

Thus a spectacular scene unfolded—

Under a sky of leaden gray and deathly silence, a ghost horse galloped wildly across the desolate wilderness, followed by a dense horde of undead and necrotic creatures...
