Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 208 - 183: Exceptional Talent, But a Pitiful Origin

Chapter 208: Chapter 183: Exceptional Talent, But a Pitiful Origin
Actually, the name "Fish-Repelling Pearl" wasn’t well chosen. The pearl doesn’t just repel fish-like pet beasts; it also has a repelling effect on the vast majority of ocean creatures.
Li Cunxu said, "I’ve got your dragon egg for sure. Even if Jesus comes, it won’t help. That’s what I said."
The Crystal Shrimp General’s eyes turned sharp, picking up the crystal long spear and swinging it fiercely a few times.
"Then, let’s show our true skills, right here!"
The Crystal Shrimp General had never seen Xiaoruan’s unlimited-firepower Spiritual Energy, thinking he could wear Xiaoruan down.
Li Cunxu smiled and took a few steps back.
"I won’t fight you. As long as you dare to come at me, I’ll run. Once I run, I’ll call for backup to deal with you. Not even a king-level helper is needed, just a lord-level one, and you won’t be able to handle it."
Li Cunxu waved the ring on his finger in front of the Crystal Shrimp General.
The Crystal Shrimp General’s face darkened noticeably.
Li Cunxu said, "You can’t do anything to me, but I can do something to you..."
Originally, he wanted to say, "Just come with me obediently!"
But Li Cunxu felt it was inappropriate; his speech sounded too much like a villain’s. Expressing it this way could cause issues.
The Crystal Shrimp General wasn’t without means against Li Cunxu; it still had the treasure of the overlord-level Crystal Dragon. The treasure likely contained offensive treasures.
Li Cunxu deduced that the owner of this Crystal Palace, the Crystal Dragon, was of overlord level.
Evidenced by the Crystal Shrimp General, who was lord level nine before losing rank. As the owner of the Crystal Shrimp General, the Crystal Dragon couldn’t be weaker, and since the specs of the Crystal Palace weren’t king-level, the Crystal Dragon’s level could only be between lord and king, at overlord level.
"Just come with me. Don’t worry, I mean no harm (I just want you to seal the Spiritual Energy Crystal for me). Before you come with me, I can sign a contract with you to ensure the safety of your kind and the dragon egg."
Li Cunxu added, "Besides, the dragon egg hasn’t hatched for so long; something must be seriously wrong. Show it to me; I might be able to solve it. If I can’t, there are still many renowned human doctors outside; surely someone can fix it. Don’t you want the dragon egg to hatch?"
The first sentence didn’t change the Crystal Shrimp General’s expression, but the second one showed a hint of interest.
Li Cunxu seized the opportunity and added, "Moreover, you don’t have much choice. Next time I bring people, there won’t be a contract guarantee."
The Crystal Shrimp General retorted stubbornly, "I can move away. If I can’t win, I can hide."
Li Cunxu’s smile grew wider, "I don’t believe you can move the Crystal Palace somewhere in just a day or two, making it impossible for me to find."
The Crystal Shrimp General was silent for a long time.
"Wait a moment."
The Crystal Shrimp General turned and walked into the palace treasury, returning with a carefully cradled dragon egg. The eggshell was covered with a thick crystal shell.
"Why did you put a layer of crystal shell over the dragon egg? Don’t you know that makes it harder for the Little Crystal Dragon to hatch?"
Li Cunxu frowned.
The Crystal Shrimp General replied, "I didn’t add the shell; it was formed by condensed crystal fluid."
Li Cunxu was stunned, "Don’t tell me this egg has been soaked in crystal fluid all along?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Big problem, no wonder the egg won’t hatch. I’m speechless. Didn’t the Crystal Dragon teach you that a dragon egg should only soak for an hour a day?"
The crystal fluid is made from the Crystal Dragon’s essence blood mixed with various herbs, a secret known only to the Crystal Dragon and not shared. It’s a lord-level resource. Putting a pet beast egg in it for an hour can enhance the potential of the beast inside.
However, soaking too much will significantly enhance potential while causing a thick crystal shell to form on the eggshell, making hatching more difficult.
The crystal shell cannot be broken by external force. It is integrated with the egg, and breaking it would cause irreparable damage to the beast inside. However, there’s no need to worry about the crystal shell being easily chipped; it’s three to four times harder than diamond.
The Crystal Shrimp General said, "Lord Crystal Dragon taught us to keep the egg in the crystal fluid continuously."
Li Cunxu frowned. Either the Crystal Dragon hadn’t inherited the memory for hatching dragon eggs, or it was a malicious mother, unwilling to let its child hatch.
Li Cunxu looked at the panel of the dragon egg.
[Pet Beast]: ???
[Attribute]: Light, Dark, Water
[Level]: Iron Zero
[Talent]: Crystal Maker (Purple), Darkness of Disregard (Purple)
[Status]: Over-nourished, Difficult to hatch, Bloodline conflict.
[Skills]: Destructive Dark Extreme Wave, Crystal Making
[Potential]: High-level Monarch
[Introduction]: This is a pet beast with extraordinary potential, provided it can be born.
Li Cunxu was stunned when he saw the name section.
It was a question mark, indicating it’s a new pet beast species.
The Crystal Dragon is a dual-type pet beast of water and light, yet it also has a dark attribute.
This attribute might be a mutation or an inherited attribute from its father; there is a rare evolutionary form of the Crystal Dragon called the Dark Crystal Dragon.
Li Cunxu asked, "What type of pet beast is the Crystal Dragon’s mate?"
The Crystal Shrimp General said, "The Crystal Dragon was very averse to its mate and never mentioned it in our presence, nor did it allow us to."
As he read further, the talents astonished Li Cunxu.
A rare and extraordinary dual talent, even stronger than Little White Spider’s dual talent.
Little White Spider had one white talent and one purple.
And this one had dual purple talents.
The Crystal Maker is a fixed talent in the Crystal Dragon family.
Darkness of Disregard is a fearsome assassination talent, allowing one to hide in shadows or darkness, making people around automatically ignore it. If it assassinates someone in front of others, no one notices, even if the blood splatters in someone’s eye—they’ll still ignore it.
The disregard effect only lifts when the talent user leaves.
Seeing the skill slot [Destructive Dark Extreme Wave], Li Cunxu formed a new guess about the dragon egg’s father.
The father should be the Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon; only it possesses the Destructive Dark Extreme Wave skill.
The Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon is an extremely terrifying forbidden beast, with incredibly formidable combat power and insanely abnormal talents. Its territory is considered a forbidden zone.
The Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon only goes into heat once in its lifetime, transforming into a seed-sowing machine when it does, usually achieving a perfect hit.
However, the survival rate of the Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon’s offspring is not high.
The chances of the offspring dying within the egg are nine out of ten, all because of the overwhelming strength of the Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon’s bloodline.
Even the offspring that miraculously survive to become a young Dark Extreme Dragon will face hostility from the mother dragon.
After all, the relationship between the mother dragon and the Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon wasn’t voluntary.
No wonder the Crystal Dragon would soak the egg in crystal fluid for so long; it didn’t want it to hatch!
However, the Crystal Dragon wasn’t entirely unloving towards the egg. If it truly didn’t care, it could have just smashed it instead of painstakingly preparing the crystal fluid.
Would the Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon care for the offspring?
It wouldn’t.
If the offspring dared appear before it, the Destruction Dark Extreme Dragon would consider it a territorial rival and bite it to death.
"Mom doesn’t love it, dad abandoned it, how pitiable!"
Li Cunxu gently touched the crystallized dragon egg with compassion.
