Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 229 The Deal with the Queen Ant: A Celestial Spirit Egg

Turning back along another path, Lin Chen could see their ant nest again, where the fire ant beasts were now organizing a relocation.

Now that the location has been exposed, it's impossible to stay any longer.

For them, rebuilding a home is a very simple thing.

Lin Chen and his group hid in the distance and, sure enough, saw the queen ant being firmly protected in the middle of the group. There was a golden egg on her back, which was completely different from the white egg that Lin Chen had been holding earlier.

The three little white bears looked at Lin Chen with admiration. The big white bear, who never liked to think about problems, simply roared and asked Lin Chen how he had discovered it.

“It’s extremely difficult for the queen ant to lay a beast king egg. She wasn’t injured at the time, so it’s impossible that she didn’t pursue it,” Lin Chen said. “Besides, I thought it was too easy for us to take her down.”

As he spoke, Lin Chen waved his hand, signaling them to repeat their old trick.

The little fox returned to the high place and threw out a demon fire nuclear bomb.

When the demonic fire nuclear bomb appeared, the queen ant immediately became as alert as a startled rabbit. When she saw Little White reappear, she immediately ordered the worker ants to protect the golden eggs.

At the same time, several fire ant leaders rushed up, but they were no match for Little White.

Xiao Bai immediately unleashed his fourth-tier Savage Bloodline, preparing for a swift victory.

Lin Chen also transmitted his voice from behind, saying, "Try not to kill them if possible."

"Moo~"

Xiao Bai responded.

It understood that fire ant beasts were social animals, and if it really angered them, it would be difficult to end the situation.

Almost instantly, several commanders were severely injured by Xiaobai and rushed towards the queen ant.

As the queen ant roared and spat out a mouthful of black flame, she finally transformed, growing from the size of a human to the size of an adult ox.

It opened its mouth and continuously spewed out poisonous mist.

This is its skill:
[Injection of Fire Toxin]

Little White quickly dodged, but the Queen Ant then activated her skill again. As her six legs trembled, two black rays shot out from her eyes at an extremely fast speed toward Little White.

This is the queen ant's exclusive skill:
[Fire Poison Spray]

The black ray pierced through the poisonous fog. Lin Chen's pupils contracted, fearing that Xiao Bai hadn't noticed. By then, it was too late to warn her.

However, Lin Chen soon realized that his worries were unnecessary. Although the poisonous fog obscured the spraying fire poison, making it impossible for Xiao Bai to see it, Xiao Bai knew the danger of the poisonous fog and stayed far away.

Out of caution, it hid far away by relying on Qianying Guiyi before letting out a roar.

In an instant, the scene changed, and a demonic bull appeared out of thin air.

It's Xiaobai's fifth skill: Demon Bull has arrived!

The demon bull broke free of its shackles and pounced. Even though the fire ant queen was three levels higher than Xiaobai, she was still instantly suppressed and fell to the ground severely injured.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiaobai immediately picked up the Beast King Egg.

At this moment, the queen ant began to wail in agony.
The screams were so pitiful that even Lin Chen felt uncomfortable listening to them.

However, Lin Chen was not some saint. He had no relation to the fire ant beast, and the beast king egg, if left here, would only reach a maximum level of forty.

Instead of doing that, why not take it outside?

The queen ant is about to experience the pain of losing her loved ones.

As Lin Chen ran, he looked back at the bleeding and wounded ant queen who was still chasing her, and said, "We will treat it well. You know, the environment here is restricted."

Lin Chen knew very well that the Queen Ant wasn't stupid. Her immediate thought of switching the eggs when something unusual happened meant she must have known that Lin Chen and his group were there to steal the eggs.

Therefore, the queen ant should be aware of many things.

"Drip~~"

The queen ant continued her pursuit as if she were mad.

After chasing for several thousand meters, just as Lin Chen and his companions were running faster and faster, the queen ant suddenly shouted, causing Lin Chen to stop.

"What did it say?" Lin Chen stopped and gestured for the queen ant not to come any closer.

The little fox acted as the translator, and when Lin Chen heard it clearly, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Because the queen ant said she was willing to exchange information for it.

This information is...
On Beast Island, a top-grade spirit egg was born recently, which triggered unusual phenomena.

"Strange phenomenon?"

Lin Chen was startled.

The "Beast Taming Manual" once recorded that if a person is born with unusual phenomena, the probability of them being promoted to a celestial beast in the future is very high.

This type is also known as a Celestial Spirit Egg.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "How can you guarantee that this news is true?"

The queen ant called out a few times, and finally said that she would send fire ants to guide them there.

Lin Chen observed that the queen ant didn't seem to be lying, so he continued:
"Here's what we'll do: once I find this spirit egg, I'll return it to you."

Upon hearing this, the queen ant nodded immediately, her pupils seemingly filled with hope.

Lin Chen sighed upon seeing this.

He knew that what the queen ant said was true.

At this time, the queen ant is just a mother; she won't lie and is only thinking about her children.

Lin Chen had Xiaobai hand over the egg, placed it on the ground, and said, "The deal is done."

The queen ant was also taken aback. She looked at Lin Chen curiously, and he said, "I didn't steal your egg entirely out of malice. Only by taking it out will it have a bright future."

The queen ant wasn't listening to any of this. She immediately dragged her injured leg up, held the beast king egg, and gratefully shouted a few words to Lin Chen and the others.

Then it was very direct, sending a fire ant forward to tell Lin Chen that it could take them there.

Lin Chen nodded, and then the queen ant called out to Lin Chen and the others a few times in gratitude, meaning that they could ask her for help if they needed anything.

Finally, the queen ant left behind only one fire ant and led the other fire ant beasts away in a grand procession.

After they left, Lin Chen immediately had the fire ant beast lead the way.

A Fire Ant Beast King egg was indeed remarkable, but Lin Chen had originally intended to find it for Zhang Suqing.

Now that the queen ant has told him there might be a celestial-grade spirit egg here, Lin Chen naturally wants to snatch it.

After all, they were already here, and there was no danger to their lives, as the Grand Elder and the island's guardian beasts were watching over them.

Lin Chen felt that this deal was still very worthwhile.

Fire Ant led the way, and Lin Chen and the others followed behind. However, they hadn't gone far when they heard the sounds of fighting.

When Lin Chen and the others approached, they were stunned, because they discovered that the people fighting were Wu Gui and Zhao Jin.

These two must have been caught up by the fire ant beasts and are currently engaged in a fierce battle.

It must be said that they were quite capable, managing to fight off forty or fifty fire ant beasts that were chasing them.

"Hey, we meet again."

Lin Chen's sudden words startled Wu Gui and Zhao Jin.

Looking towards the sound, and seeing Lin Chen's figure, their expressions immediately turned as black as charcoal.

But the next second, their expressions became even more panicked.

Because they discovered that Lin Chen had actually emerged from a swarm of fire ant beasts.

"You guys"

Wu Gui and the others looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.

Why isn't the fire ant biting him?!
"Are you curious?" Lin Chen smiled, his eyes narrowing. Wu Gui and Zhao Jin seemed to understand something. The former said, "If you want to help the Queen Ant retrieve the spirit egg, you'll have to be able to defeat us first."

Lin Chen and the others twitched their lips upon hearing this, while the three spirit beasts, including Little White, looked at them with pity.
They still believe that the spirit beast eggs in their hands are real.

The little white creatures felt fortunate and proud.
Compared to them, their beast tamers are far more intelligent, almost like they have cheat codes.

Lin Chen didn't answer their questions, but instead said to the fire ant beast beside him, "I'll teach them a lesson for you. You tell the queen about my achievement."

The fire ant beast was naturally angry to see that the other party had injured so many of its own kind, but at the same time it looked at Lin Chen with gratitude.

Lin Chen then waved his hand, signaling Xiaobai and Xiaohong to step forward.

The polar bear also wanted to participate, but its current strength was too weak to join in.

Seeing this, Wu Gui and Zhao Jin were both angry and amused, and said, "Lin Chen, who do you really think you are? You just defeated a few foreigners by luck, do you really think you're invincible?"

Lin Chen snapped his fingers, signaling Little White and the others to attack immediately, and said at the same time:
"Whether it's based on luck or not, you'll find out soon enough."

As they spoke, Xiaobai and Xiaohong transformed.

The opponent's spirit beasts were even lower in level than Xiaobai and Xiaohong, so Lin Chen didn't think they were any match at all.

The two little guys, Xiaobai and Xiaohong, were also quite direct. One immediately unleashed the Demon Bull technique, while the other went straight into True Fire mode.

Xiao Bai went first, facing off against a level 36 and a level 35 spirit beast. The moment its demonic bull appeared, the two spirit beasts completely lost the will to continue fighting.

But the demonic bull's pounce had already arrived, and its aura and power made the two spirit beasts feel the breath of death.

At the same time, the little fox also launched its True Fire Nuclear Bomb, and the two opposing spirit beasts were directly engulfed in the firestorm.

At that moment, Wu Gui and Zhao Jin sensed the spirit beasts' cries for help and suddenly realized what was happening.

Lin Chen's ability to fight two opponents at once in a place like the Beast Fighting Tournament shows he's no pushover.

Wu Gui reacted quickly and immediately shouted:

"Sir, please save us!"

Almost instantly, a spatial fluctuation appeared, followed by the appearance of the True Fire Nuclear Bomb and the Demon Bull, which were then devoured.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air. He was the leader of the Tian Shu Pavilion team this time, named Guo Hua.

Guo Hua didn't have this ability on his own; he arrived via teleportation from the island's guardian spirit beast.

When Guo Hua appeared, he glanced at Lin Chen a few times and said, "Young friend Lin, that's enough."

Lin Chen didn't speak, but just stared straight at Guo Hua.

He wasn't afraid.
At worst, he can call the Grand Elder over.

Seeing that Guo Hua didn't seem to have much malice, he said, "I was bitten by a dog, so I just wanted to teach him a lesson. I didn't mean to kill him."

Guo Hua was sweating bullets.

If it weren't for the island's guardian spirit beasts intervening, those four spirit beasts would definitely be gone.

The person recognized as the strongest in this year's Beast Fighting Tournament is indeed terrifyingly powerful.

This Spiritual Academy has truly produced a talent; no wonder Yu Xiu has been keeping a close eye on it.

After saying that, Lin Chen dismissed the fire ant beasts, bowed to Guo Hua, and then left.

Guo Hua nodded slightly when he saw that Lin Chen was giving him face.

After Lin Chen left, Wu Gui and Zhao Jin hadn't even started celebrating their narrow escape when they began fighting over the Beast King Egg.

Upon hearing this, Guo Hua sneered:

"Are you two really stupid or just pretending?"

The two were taken aback, and their brows furrowed.

Guo Hua works in the Tian Shu Pavilion. Although his position is not low, the families behind the two of them are not people that Guo Hua can afford to offend.

Just as he was feeling displeased, Guo Hua suddenly said, "Lin Chen didn't ask you for it, so of course this egg is fake. Do you really think Lin Chen is some kind of good person?"

The two then realized what was happening. Looking at the eggs in their hands and recalling the hour they had just been chased, they were overjoyed for an hour as well.

So they've been played all along?
"Lin Chen!" the two shouted angrily, wanting to give chase, but Guo Hua blocked their way and said:

"According to the rules, since you requested rescue, you have lost your eligibility to compete for the Heavenly Beast Island this time."

The two were taken aback, and when they remembered this rule, they became even angrier. Wu Gui, seemingly having been a pampered young master for too long, started to throw a tantrum, saying, "What if I say no?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Hua coldly replied, "I'm not trying to stop you, but rather to warn you."

"I didn't set these rules, nor am I responsible for enforcing them."

Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized what was happening.

The guardian beast that saved them in time was naturally also keeping an eye on them.

They are the ones who enforce the rules.

This Beast Island is an extremely complex place; even combined, their two families couldn't scratch the surface of it.

"Lin Chen, right? I'll remember that!"

Although the two were furious, all they could do was grumble.

In a house on Tian Shou Island, Yu Xiu and Zhang Jin were playing chess and drinking tea. When they saw Guo Hua walk in, Zhang Jin said, "Lord Guo, how come you were summoned away while you were drinking tea?"

"Stop talking." Guo Hua looked at Yu Xiu and recounted the whole story.

Yu Xiu was somewhat smug after hearing this.
Lin Chen has really made him proud again.

Zhang Jin remarked, "These two are incredibly arrogant. Lin Chen's reputation is now legendary. Don't they know their own limitations?"

“It’s understandable that young people like to take on challenges,” Yu Xiu said with a smile.

Guo Hua said approvingly, "Elder, your Spirit Academy has really struck gold this time. Should I go back to the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion to report this and ask him to take a position there after graduation?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu immediately became displeased. He said, "Lin Chen has received the true teachings of the Tree Ancestor and is already an elder of the Spirit Academy. As you know, the Spirit Academy has never interfered in the affairs of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin and Guo Hua secretly sighed that Yu Xiuzhen was a cunning old fox who had come up with this trick so quickly.

Otherwise, given Lin Chen's current reputation, many powerful forces would be vying for him.

"Enough talk, let's play chess, let's play chess."

Zhang Jin knew that Yu Xiu was unhappy, and immediately said something.

Yu Xiu also composed himself and continued playing chess.

But in reality, Yu Xiu didn't want to stop Lin Chen from developing outside. Rather, many forces wanted to get Lin Chen. Some wanted to cultivate him, while others had ulterior motives.

If you can't have it, then you must destroy or suppress it.
There have been geniuses among the common people of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom over the years, but many of them have not had a good ending.

Yu Xiu made Lin Chen the youngest elder in the Spirit Academy in order to protect him.

With the Spirit Academy as his backing, anyone else who wants to touch him will have to think twice.

After playing chess for several rounds, Guo Hua suddenly spoke up again:
"The island's guardian beast says there's a celestial-grade spirit egg on this island. Who do you think can get it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jin smiled and said:
"The National Academy is a place of destiny, so why didn't you ask that question?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Hua seemed to suddenly realize something, while Yu Xiu, holding the chess pieces, directly surrounded and attacked his opponent, saying, "You've lost."

Zhang Jin was taken aback. He looked up at Yu Xiu, but instead of seeing joy in his eyes, he saw only worry and unease.

If the National Academy of Education wins, it's really not a big deal.

This indicates that good fortune still exists.

However, if the National Academy loses this battle for destiny, it means one thing: the misfortune on Zhong Nan's body may have affected the entire National Academy, and even the entire Cangling Ancient Kingdom.
