Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 183 - 158: Island (Part 5)

Chapter 183: Chapter 158: Island (Part 5)
All sorts of attribute skills had been used thoroughly, and the amplification effect of the Land of Myriad Phenomena reached its peak.
Xiaoruan spat out clusters of small black clouds.
The small black clouds gathered into a large black cloud, and the large black cloud devoured the raindrops falling from above, growing larger and larger.
Rainy weather not only gave the Poisonous Sea Urchin King an advantage but also benefitted Xiaoruan.
The thunder roared, electric snakes danced wildly, and the black cloud loomed over the city.
The Poisonous Sea Urchin King wanted to retreat, the imposing thundercloud was overwhelming, giving it a sense of unease.
But being scared away by a thundercloud before a lightning strike would be too unkingly, after all, its many subordinates were watching.
There’s a strange rule in beast groups: once the tribesmen believe the king cannot protect them, soon, a second king will be born within the group.
The Poisonous Sea Urchin King did not want its subordinates to think it couldn’t protect them.
However, the threat of the thunderclouds was growing.
After much deliberation, the Poisonous Sea Urchin King decided to flee.
If it were any other king in a beast group, they might fight to the death and not retreat, but not the Poisonous Sea Urchin King, because it was of poison type.
Poison types are very sly, fighting to the death is not the way of a poison type beast.
The Poisonous Sea Urchin King roared, and its minions scurried towards the sea.
"Xiaoruan, don’t let the Poisonous Sea Urchin King escape, intercept it."
Once the Poisonous Sea Urchin King escaped into the sea, Li Cunxu would be helpless against it, as the sea was its true domain.
But letting the Poisonous Sea Urchin King escape would cause too much trouble since it was a poison-type beast.
Li Cunxu, specializing in poison types, knew all too well how dangerous they could be, especially one at the level of Gold Rank 2.
In the wild, if you provoke a poison-type beast and don’t take it down, you should immediately end your journey, head home, and stay vigilant the whole way back.
Poison-type beasts have a strong sense of revenge; if you provoke them, they’ll poison the water sources on your path, the air you breathe, and in places you can’t even imagine. A single careless moment, and you’re poisoned to death.
What about taking antidote pills?
Antidote pills can neutralize a wide range of poisons, but not all poisons; there are always some outside the scope of antidote pills.
Besides, you can run out of antidote pills.
The more potent the poison, the higher the level of antidote pill required, and the higher the level of antidote pill, the more expensive it is.
Antidote pills above the Gold rank are exorbitantly priced. Even a relatively wealthy lord-level Beast Master would feel the pinch purchasing them.
Xiaoruan charged with the Golden Shield.
Its charge skill had broken its limit twenty-one times, reaching an uncanny level. Xiaoruan charged after the rolling Poisonous Sea Urchin King heading towards the sea.
Why didn’t the Poisonous Sea Urchin King use Water Escape to fly in the rain?
It couldn’t fly.
No rainwater.
The rainwater was being absorbed by the black cloud overhead that was crackling with lightning.
The Poisonous Sea Urchin King had to leave the range of the black cloud and touch the rain technique to fly.
Xiaoruan knocked over the Poisonous Sea Urchin King and entangled with it in battle.
Feeling the growing threat above it, the Poisonous Sea Urchin King became increasingly anxious. It recklessly rolled and charged toward the sea, but each of its charges was blocked by Xiaoruan.
As a result, Xiaoruan took significant damage.
Li Cunxu suddenly looked up at the sky.
The rain was diminishing.
Li Cunxu smiled subtly.
"Interesting, when the rain disadvantages Xiaoruan, it pours heavily. When it’s advantageous, the rain starts to dwindle."
The Poisonous Sea Urchin King was busy escaping and had no time to cancel the weather skill, Rainy Day.
The Silver-grade Poisonous Sea Urchins fled into the sea but, realizing the king hadn’t followed, immediately returned to aid the Poisonous Sea Urchin King.
As they returned, they saw a lightning bolt descend from the thundercloud like a raging dragon, striking the Poisonous Sea Urchin King. Instantly, the world was illuminated by the lightning, as bright as day.
The Poisonous Sea Urchin King, with its strong life force, wasn’t killed by a single lightning bolt.
But that’s okay; if one bolt didn’t kill, then two, three...
After four lightning bolts, the Poisonous Sea Urchin King’s presence vanished.
Seeing their king gone, the first reaction of the Poisonous Sea Urchins was to flee, not to avenge the king.
This was quite understandable, considering they were poison-type beasts.
Only half of the Poisonous Sea Urchins managed to escape. While striking the Poisonous Sea Urchin King, Xiaoruan had stealthily moved the thundercloud above them.
The audience erupted.
Silver against Gold is not unheard of, but what’s rare is that the one doing it was a Slime, something everyone always looked down upon.
"What a magical world! I actually witnessed a Silver-grade Slime taking down a Gold-grade Poisonous Sea Urchin King, and succeeding."
"It truly is magical. If it weren’t officially broadcast by the league, I would’ve thought it was some fantasy drama shot by a top-tier director."
"This Slime is so ferocious. The Poisonous Sea Urchin King wasn’t challenging it solo; it came with a group of Silver Poisonous Sea Urchins, and still, it got killed."
"That’s nothing; what I saw was even scarier. I’m an internal staff of the show, and I saw the registration info of contestant Li Cunxu. His Slime just recently became a Silver One, not a Silver Nine. A Silver Nine defeating a Gold Two, I could understand, but a Silver One defeating a Gold Two, I truly can’t believe it."
"The Slime is only Silver One? You’re not kidding, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? The show is about to reveal contestant Li Cunxu’s profile card."
Soon, the live feed switched to host Lin Miaomiao, who incredulously introduced Li Cunxu’s profile card.
It was only then that people believed the previous barrage message.
Slime Little Soft really was just a Silver One.
The chat went silent for a moment.
"Whoa, whoa..."
"Amazing, a Silver One defeated a Gold Two, crossing an entire major rank, and it was the Slime I always underestimated. How did Li Cunxu do it? It’s simply unbelievable."
Lin Miaomiao’s subsequent words explained the reason Xiaoruan was so strong.
"Everyone is curious why Xiaoruan, a Slime, is so powerful. Let me explain it to you today!"
"Did anyone notice contestant Li Cunxu’s eyes?"
At this moment, the camera gave a close-up of Li Cunxu’s Blood Lotus Eye.
"Doesn’t everyone find these eyes familiar, just with a change in color?"
People from other cities might not recognize them, but the Tongdu People were very familiar; how could they not recognize eyes similar to the Holy Lotus Eye?
The Holy Lotus Eye is often seen on TV.
Even if you’ve never seen it on TV, you’d encounter it frequently in daily life.
The Holy Lotus Group’s logo is the Holy Lotus Eye, and the products of the Holy Lotus Group are integrated into every aspect of the Tongdu Citizens’ lives.
Holy Lotus branded pastries, Holy Lotus branded soaps and shampoos, Holy Lotus branded bicycles and motorcycles...
With an exaggerated tone, Lin Miaomiao said, "Yes, it’s just as everyone thinks, a mutated Holy Lotus Eye."
"Contestant Li Cunxu’s mutated Holy Lotus Eye is named the [Blood Lotus Eye]. His Pupil Technique can release a flame that burns the enemy’s blood and convert the burning flame into holy blood to create a Blood Banquet Holy Meal better than the Holy Meal."
The explanation clarified the reason, but soon after, malicious speculations about Li Cunxu spread online.
For Slime Little Soft to be so strong, Li Cunxu must have burned the blood of many innocent people to convert into holy blood to enhance the Slime.
With so many people disappearing in Tongdu each year, perhaps it was Li Cunxu’s doing.
But soon, Lin Miaomiao presented evidence to refute such claims.
