Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder

Chapter 498 - 483: Blood Diamond Worm

Method for evolving digestive talent: Eat ten pounds of acid grass seeds every day, keep it up for a hundred days.

If you do this, digestive talent (green) can evolve into fast digestive talent (blue).

Acid grass seeds aren’t rare, you can buy them in ordinary stores. However, on the Four Gods Continent, it’s impossible to buy acid grass seeds.

There’s no acid grass growing on the Four Gods Continent, let alone its seeds. Acid grass only exists on the Divine Guard Continent.

Can the alliance’s base on the Four Gods Continent have them for sale?

They can’t be bought there either.

The alliance has set up a war base on the Four Gods Continent to be ready at any time for attacks from the Four Evil Gods Sects. As a result, even the weakest workers in the war base are experts at the lord level, because if they were any weaker, they’d easily be killed in an attack.

And acid grass seeds? They’re considered a black iron-level resource.

The Beast Masters here basically have no use for it. With no demand, naturally, there is none.

Even if there were, Li Cunxu couldn’t buy it.

Because he can’t even get through the door of the war base.

The war base has very strict entry and exit controls; people of unknown identity cannot enter. This is to prevent the Four Evil Gods Sects from infiltrating the base and causing havoc.

To enter the war base, Li Cunxu would have to reveal the title of ’Cang King’ and confirm his true identity to be allowed in.

However, if he did so, the spies of the Four Evil Gods Sects inside the base would report back to their sect that night, and he would face monarchs or Divine Sons by dawn.

"It’s a little troublesome to get a small amount of acid grass seeds."

Return to the Divine Guard Continent to buy acid grass seeds?

For acid grass seeds, going back and forth to the Divine Guard Continent is too troublesome.

After all, he came to the Four Gods Continent originally, which means if he returned to the Divine Guard Continent, he’d have to come back to the Four Gods Continent again.

Moreover, the Divine Guard Continent isn’t particularly easy to get to; he can’t use the teleportation array at the war base to return to the alliance, so he would have to cross the sea.

But the sea isn’t easy to cross.

Off the coast of the Four Gods Continent, there’s a mad shark ring line surrounding it. To return to the Divine Guard Continent from the Four Gods Continent, you must pass through this ring line.

The mad shark ring line is home to the Calamity Beast·Mad Devouring Demon Shark, which is just as dangerous as the Myriad God-devouring Butterflies.

This mad shark ring line was orchestrated by the old chairman, driving the Mad Devouring Demon Sharks to encircle the Four Gods Continent, to prevent the Four Divine Races from crossing the sea.

Li Cunxu thought about it and realized he could only buy acid grass seeds through the wealth bank sub-branch as a Crystal Merchant.

Acid grass seeds are particularly easy to buy on the Divine Guard Continent, yet he has to buy them through the wealth bank sub-branch, which will make the alliance speculate.

They would guess whether the Crystal Merchant is trapped somewhere, unable to make purchases on the Divine Guard Continent.

"Whatever, let them speculate as they please, as long as I can evolve Xiaoruan’s talent quickly."

Li Cunxu bought over a thousand pounds of acid grass seeds.

As expected by Li Cunxu, this action aroused much speculation among the alliance.

A group of experts analyzed Li Cunxu’s purchase of more than a thousand pounds of acid grass seeds.

"Acid grass seeds are easily available on the Divine Guard Continent, yet he buys through us. I suspect he’s trapped somewhere like a secret realm, a forbidden zone, the Four Gods Continent..."

"Why does he need acid grass seeds? Is it just to help his pet beast’s digestion?"

Acid grass seeds are a black iron-level resource; after consumption, they increase stomach acid and enhance its acidity, helping pet beasts with digestion.

To put it plainly, they’re a stronger version of digestive tablets.

"I guess he’s trying to evolve his pet beast’s talent. I remember the digestive (green) talent evolving into fast digestive (blue) requires around a thousand pounds of acid grass seeds."

The analysis by the experts laid bare the reasons behind Li Cunxu’s purchase of acid grass seeds.

With many spies in the alliance, the information quickly reached the Four Evil Gods Sects.

The Four Evil Gods Sects began exploring dangerous secret realms and forbidden zones, targeting the Four Gods Continent to find the Crystal Merchant who provides purification crystals.

The acid grass seeds arrived shortly after.

Xiaoruan embarked on its journey of talent evolution.

Originally, Li Cunxu intended to wait the full hundred days for Xiaoruan’s talent to evolve into fast digestion before leaving the underground cave.

But fate didn’t want Li Cunxu to be at peace, forcing him to leave his underground safehouse five kilometers deep.

The little white spider, always observing fate, suddenly reported: "Master, your calamity fate is rapidly increasing."

Li Cunxu immediately summoned all his pet beasts to be on full alert.

Before being discovered, the calamity fate has the power to obscure people, making them fall into calamity unknowingly. But once found out, its function changes. It no longer obscures, but draws calamities to come seeking you actively.

Sure enough, before long, the underground safe house began to tremble.

Li Cunxu secretly wondered, "Could it be an earthquake? Is the calamity fate trying to bury me underground?"

Suddenly, a crimson drill pierced through the wall on the side of the safe house, drilling towards Li Cunxu.

Endless Golden Barrier.

Xiaoruan unleashed a long-held defensive skill, blocking the blood drill.

The rotating blood drill collided with the Endless Golden Barrier, sparking bright red embers.

The drill, feeling it couldn’t penetrate, retreated a hundred meters, then accelerated like a train to crash into the Endless Golden Barrier.

Li Cunxu used his status panel to uncover the origin of the blood drill.

This blood drill is the head of a Blood Diamond Worm.

Blood Diamond Worm, a blood beast, has abilities similar to a tunnel boring machine, capable of drilling tunnels underground that people can use to communicate.

Li Cunxu said: "It’s a Blood Diamond Worm, an underground creature. Fighting it underground doesn’t give us the advantage. Let’s go."

Li Cunxu rode the Black Flame Horse, immediately heading back to the surface.

The Black Flame Horse’s hooves cast shadows, racing along a straight path with a ninety-degree angle dug out by Xiaoruan to the surface.

The Blood Diamond Worm set its sights on Li Cunxu, closely pursuing him.

As it chased, the Blood Diamond Worm emitted a piercing explosive sound, summoning its companions.

Once the explosive sound was released, several similar explosive sounds echoed through the surrounding underground, responding to it.

The speed of the ninth Venerable King’s Blood Diamond Worms underground was swift; they moved like fish in water, birds in the sky, horses on land, rapidly gaining on Li Cunxu and rotating their head drills to crash into him.

Just as it was about to hit, Li Cunxu struck the spiritual body of the Blood Diamond Worm with a World-Ending Black Thunder, causing it to pause for a moment.

Taking advantage of the pause, the Black Flame Horse dashed out of the ground.

Li Cunxu constructed a pathway in the sky using his Spiritual Power, allowing the Black Flame Horse to step on it and soar.

Not long after reaching the surface, five Blood Diamond Worms burst out of the ground, lunging at Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu chuckled; he really didn’t expect the Blood Diamond Worms to dare leave the ground to attack him.

"Once you’ve left the ground, there’s no going back."

After evading the Blood Diamond Worms’ attack, the train-like massive creatures fell to the ground; once they touched the ground again, they’d disappear into the earth like fish diving into water.

With an immense storm-like surge, Li Cunxu’s enormous Spiritual Power formed gigantic lifting platforms, holding the five Blood Diamond Worms suspended in the sky.
