Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 201 - 176: The Frustrated Battle of the Red Lotus Fire Jiao

Chapter 201: Chapter 176: The Frustrated Battle of the Red Lotus Fire Jiao
"The skills you wanted, I’ve gathered some. Here, take them first."
Li Shiji handed another pouch filled with skill seeds to Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu glanced at it, quite pleased, spotting the [Curse Feather] among a pile of curse skill seeds.
Curse Feather is the core skill for constructing the archer system of the Dark Crossing Ravens.
[Curse Feather], belonging to the curse category, is a bronze skill that condenses feathers with curse power.
Curse Feather seems unimpressive; it just creates some feathers with curse power. What’s so special about that?
Curse Feather is indeed quite ordinary, but when combined with other skills, the result is different.
For instance, with the previously learned skill [Feather Shot] of the Dark Crossing Ravens, each feather shot is plucked from their own body.
When Curse Feather is used with Feather Shot, the cost of plucking feathers for Feather Shot can be eliminated.
Curse Feather can also be used with other curse skills.
For example, with the Slow Curse skill.
Feathers condensed with the power of the Slow Curse will inflict the Slow Curse on anyone who touches them, slowing their speed down.
Combine Slow Curse, Curse Feather, and Feather Shot together, and there you have it.
The Dark Crossing Ravens can shoot feathers that deal damage like arrows, and each time they hit an enemy, the Slow Curse deepens, further slowing the enemy’s movements.
After Li Cunxu left, Li Shiji rubbed his temples.
He was angry yet helpless.
The anger stemmed from his fourth son getting into a car accident, clinging to life, at risk of passing before him at any moment...
The perpetrator was highly likely to have done it on purpose.
Helplessness came from the fact that he could do nothing about the perpetrator, who was his eldest son.
Li Shiji clenched his right hand into a fist and heavily pounded his temple, regretting.
"How was I bewitched back then, to think of using internal strife to cultivate an heir."
"Now look, brothers killing each other without any attempt to hide it."
The more Li Shiji thought, the more he regretted, and the more he found it odd. Given his love for his family, how could he allow his offspring to be raised through internal conflict?
"Was I bewitched back then? Or was my mind influenced by someone?"
Li Shiji was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
In reality, the idea of nurturing successors through internal strife was secretly influenced by Li Shiyin using the Demon Lotus Eye Technique: Demon Lotus.
But the truth was something Li Shiji would never know unless Li Shiyin could rise from the dead and tell everything.
...
After playing and relaxing for several days with Li Anle, Li Cunxu prepared to explore Celestial Sea Island.
People can’t be tightly strung like bows all the time; they need to unwind a little, otherwise, they might snap.
Feeling bored, Li Anle and Li Cunxu had a few pet battles.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao clashed with the Dark Crossing Raven.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao felt frustrated.
Since being hit by the Curse Feather, the torment had begun.
Slow Curse, Blindness Curse, Deafness Curse, Hypoxia Curse...
A bunch of curses piled onto it, weakening the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao further the longer the battle went on.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao fought against the Little White Spider.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao had no battle experience.
The gap between them was enormous.
Though the Little White Spider was just at the entry level of silver, it showcased peak silver combat power.
With a simple thread of spider silk, it tied it up like binding a pig.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao battled the Blood Lotus Carp.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao felt inferior.
When the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao unleashed its most potent fire attack, the Blood Lotus Carp relished it like soaking in a hot spring, displaying an enjoying expression.
Both born as Lotus Carps, with barely discernible color differences, why did you grow so fast? So outrageously strong?
Could it be the Scarlet Lotus Carp is inferior to the Blood Lotus Carp?
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao took on the Mechanical Pupil.
In this match, the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao actually won, but it wasn’t pleased.
Right from the start, the Mechanical Pupil entered a mode of relentless bombardment, so intense with its firepower that the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao was suppressed for three minutes.
The Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao found it hard to believe.
Could a bronze level three exert such pressure on a silver level, especially against a dual-identity sacred beast like the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao?
The more the suppressed Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao thought, the angrier it became, intending to pummel the Mechanical Pupil and reclaim its lost honor.
But just as the three minutes of firepower suppression ended, the Mechanical Pupil simply said, ’Out of ammo,’ and surrendered.
Li Cunxu also had a pet, the Radiant Foal, which engaged in a thrilling battle.
However, the foal didn’t battle the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao.
Being an iron level, the foal and the Scarlet Lotus Fire Jiao were not of the same tier.
The foal’s opponent was a pure white cub of black iron level alike.
Li Anle’s pure white cub was being nurtured for half a year, yet remained iron level despite copious resources being fed into it.
This was typical; with a species like the pure white cub possessing immense potential, early-stage elevation was extremely difficult, but this wasn’t a bad thing—the slower the initial growth, the faster it would develop later on.
The pure white cub essentially kicked into gear later on, exponentially growing stronger.
The pure white cub’s fight with the foal was more of a playful affair; the foal would kick the white cub, and the white cub would smack the foal.
Li Cunxu turned and spoke quietly to Li Anle: "Why does the pure white cub seem so ferocious? Is that the evil persona disguising itself? Has she become so cunning now?"
The pure white cub’s original soul was whitewashed by its uncontrollable legendary talent [Pure White], and then the evil persona born from the power of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Evil God revived it.
Therefore, the soul of the pure white cub belonged to the evil persona, Li Xiao’e.
It should have the demeanor of a person, not the demeanor of a beast.
Li Anle replied softly: "The power of the Pure White talent is too strong; it assimilated part of Xiao’e’s soul. But don’t worry, Xiao’e is gradually mastering the Pure White talent."
...
Li Cunxu packed essential survival gear and an inflatable speedboat.
He took out the Void Turtle from his pocket, which resembled a lifeless object, palm-sized.
Despite being an Overlord-tier pet, it was extremely lazy, usually posing as a dead thing and dozing in Li Cunxu’s pocket.
Li Cunxu tapped the turtle shell three times, and the Void Turtle slowly extended its head and opened its eyes.
The startup time for the Void Turtle, from the time it opened its eyes, was a full minute, slower than the boot-up of a knock-off phone.
In normal situations, tapping the shell three times activated it. In emergencies, squeezing the tail would instantly awaken the Void Turtle, ready to flee.
This was the agreed awakening method between Li Cunxu and the Void Turtle.
Li Cunxu asked, "Senior, are you awake?"
The Void Turtle replied slowly, "Boy... you don’t... need... to be courteous... with me... wasting my... resting time. Speak... directly... about your need."
The speed of the Void Turtle’s speech was so slow that it took over a minute to finish these few words.
"Senior, I need to go here."
Li Cunxu pointed to the location of Bengma Island on the map.
"Fine."
The Void Turtle glanced at the space coordinates of Bengma Island on the map, and a silver haloed Space Transmission Array quickly unfolded beneath Li Cunxu’s feet. With a blink, the transmission began.
After another blink, Li Cunxu had returned to Bengma Island.
