Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 94 Devouring the Beast of Misfortune
Looking down from above, Lin Chen was indeed holding a jigsaw puzzle. Although it was poorly drawn, it was still vaguely recognizable as a complete puzzle.

"How could it be so fast?" Tang Xuehai asked, puzzled.

“Pushing the puzzle pieces up, down, left, and right on the stone gate will definitely be slow, probably taking half a day. But on the blueprint, you can just draw it in the correct order. What’s so difficult about that?” Li Zhen said.

"Then why did you design a level with such a huge loophole?"

"."

Li Zhen and the other man remained silent until Huang Xiaotian finally said, "This is the correct answer."

"."

This time, it was Tang Xuehai's turn to remain silent.

Lin Chen smoothly destroyed the first obstacle and fully understood the design intentions of Li Zhen and the other person.

Simply put, it's a series of interconnected steps.

The patterns on the stone gate look like a jigsaw puzzle, but they are actually clues.

Lin Chen was able to see through it at a glance because he knew that most people couldn't put together thirty-one pieces in a short time.

This is a giveaway, so why would they set such difficult questions?

The only possibility is...
Brute force solution.

But he cleverly left clues on the door, so that those who relied solely on brute force would not be able to obtain the clues.

Lin Chen could tell that Li Zhen was deliberately setting a trap for him.
Because Li Zhen always thought Lin Chen was too clever for his own good, he would stay put and quietly work on the puzzle.

There are ten clues in total, corresponding to three different routes.

This is also to prevent one company from dominating the game and leaving others with no gaming experience.

Of course, there are not just ten treasures here, but these ten are the most expensive.

"Which one is the Supreme Bone?" Lin Chen hesitated.

After pondering for a long time, he finally ruled out the middle route, because he already knew that this scheme was somewhat aimed at him, so the middle route could be eliminated.

This clue is the simplest and doesn't fit Li Zhen's line of thinking when setting the question.

In the end, Lin Chen chose the most difficult route, since the Supreme Bone was the most expensive.

The moment they saw Lin Chen set off, Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian were both alarmed. The latter said, "It's over. Lin Chen has really been fooled by us this time."

"."

Li Zhen was speechless.

He admitted that he was indeed somewhat targeting Lin Chen.

However, he wanted to give Lin Chen special treatment on the Supreme Bone.

Who would have thought that by doing nothing, he had actually fooled Lin Chen.

what is this?
Is not making a move the best move?

Although Li Zhen won once, it was more painful than losing.

Lin Chen is not a god after all, and it is impossible for him to know all of Li Zhen's thoughts.

However, Lin Chen gained a lot on the most difficult part of the journey ahead.

The first hurdle he encountered was watching the ground fox.

There are a hundred holes in a piece of land, from which a hundred fox heads emerge. The task is to find the one and only goddess fox.

Lin Chen skipped it without even thinking.

"This isn't some kind of historical site; we've just come to an amusement park," Lin Chen said, shaking his head helplessly.

This isn't a newbie's forte; let's leave it to those information-based beast tamers.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen wanted to curse.

The challenge they had set up was primarily adventure-oriented, but Lin Chen had seen it, so they had to forcibly change the direction.

When he headed to the second checkpoint, Lin Chen officially began his violent journey to clear the level.

This level is a bit more interesting:
There are five Flame Foxes on each side of a road, and they intermittently release huge fireballs towards both sides.

Explorers must navigate the path to the location where the stone box is placed without being hit by a giant fireball.

As you can see, several of the beast tamers' spirit beasts have already been hit and are being put out by "firefighters".

Upon seeing this, Xiaobai immediately became eager to try it out and prepared to sprint past at "fourth" speed.

"Don't worry."

Lin Chen watched the fireball fly back and forth and began to ponder.

The fireballs appeared to be random, but that wasn't actually the case.
Okay, there really isn't any pattern.

However, these divine foxes vary in strength, resulting in vastly different speeds at which they release fireballs.

Finally, after observing for a while, Lin Chen drew a curve on the ground.

"Do you understand?" Lin Chen asked.

Xiao Bai read it again and memorized it.

"rush!"

Lin Chen shouted.

The beast tamers and staff nearby also paid attention, but little Bai didn't remember at all. He activated One Breath Transforms into Four Oxen, stunning everyone, and arrived at his destination in one straight line.

"Moo!"

Xiao Bai turned to look at Lin Chen and asked him if they had taken the right path.

"."

Lin Chen was speechless. It couldn't be said that they were completely different; it could only be said that they were completely unrelated.

He ultimately underestimated Xiaobai's speed.
However, the reward was obtained amidst the envy of the beast tamers nearby. Upon opening it, it turned out to be quite good: two high-grade tranquility pills.

"Great, I like this kind of game."

Lin Chen put it away and quickly headed forward.

Man-made ruins

Along the middle path, a girl dressed in plain white clothes walked and stopped intermittently. Finally, exhausted, she sat down on a rock to rest and said to the spirit beast beside her:
"Xiuxiu, why don't we give up? We're not suited for this."

The girl's name was Bai Ling, and she was not from Nine Star City. The spirit beast next to her, named Xiu Xiu, had a rather peculiar appearance, with a large belly and its most distinctive feature being its mouth.

While not exactly ugly, it's not exactly cute either; in any case, it doesn't fit the aesthetic standards of a young girl.

This mythical beast is called:

【Devouring Beast】

[Skill: Death Devour]

Although the skill name sounds impressive, it's actually just eating.
It can eat anything; even the hardest metal can be digested if thrown in.

This spirit beast is listed as a battle pet, but its combat power is extremely poor. Moreover, it is unknown whether it is due to the break in the ancestral bloodline. The Devouring Beast's evolution is the same as not evolving at all, with little change in skills and no other skills.

When the Beast Tamer industry was just emerging, many passionate young people were skeptical and thought it was an uncharted path, so many people contracted Devouring Beasts.

As you can imagine, raising it was like raising a glutton.

Later, all of them grumbled and chose other spirit beasts.

However, someone discovered a new ability of its. A poor child who couldn't afford a spirit beast made a contract with the Devouring Beast, and the child's frail health actually improved.

Therefore, the merchants who sold the Devouring Beast changed its original name, "Gold-devouring Beast," to "Devouring Beast" and began to promote it extensively.

However, people didn't buy it, which led to a significant decrease in the number of Devouring Beasts, and they were even rarely heard of for a long time.

Bai Ling's family wasn't poor, but she was born sickly. From birth, she would fall ill every three days and then fall seriously ill every five days. She struggled to live to the age of eighteen, when her parents finally decided to let her contract with the Devouring Beast.

Bai Ling didn't mind its ugliness at all. In fact, when they made the contract, she smiled and said to it, "If you don't mind that I'm sickly, we'll be partners fighting side by side from now on."

However, whether it was truly effective or not, Bai Ling's health improved after that, going from getting a minor illness every three days to getting one minor illness every month.

Some doctors say it's because Bai Ling became a Beast Tamer, and her body started to become "stronger," which has nothing to do with the Devouring Beast.

But Bai Ling didn't care about any of that; she was determined to defeat the Devouring Beast, even if it couldn't fight or evolve.

Bai Ling's life was simple; she simply tried to live a good life, free from illness and disaster, which was the best thing for her.

At that moment, Bai Ling, accompanied by the Devouring Beast, sat on a nearby rock, panting heavily, when suddenly the ground caved in.
"Oh my god, help!"

Bai Ling shouted, but her body was already out of control, and she fell in with a whoosh.

Fortunately, the Devouring Beast reacted quickly and used its huge belly as a cushion to support her.

Otherwise, given Bai Ling's frail health, she would have had to stay in the clinic for at least a month.

"Thank you, Xiu Xiu, you saved me again."

"Huh~"

"Why am I having such bad luck today?"

Bai Ling stood up and looked around.
This was a small cave. Just as she was about to call for help, she suddenly saw a glittering box on the rock in front of her.

Bai Ling walked over, opened it, and took a look.
There, in astonishment, lay a piece of white bone.

"."

Li Zhen was speechless.

Huang Xiaotian was speechless.

Tang Xuehai was speechless.

What Bai Ling is holding is the Supreme Bone of a Sacred Beast. Li Zhen imitated Lin Chen's solution for cracking the cave within a cave in Black Mountain City and created this small challenge.

Outside, there's another hole with an identical box placed there.

However, that bone was fake.

If you don't carefully distinguish between them, you might be fooled.

"Didn't you look around when you were digging the hole?" Li Zhen asked.

“How would I know the geology here was so loose? I’m not a gopher,” Tang Xuehai said.

Huang Xiaotian then said, "Is it possible that the ground collapsed because you were digging a hole?"

"."

The three remained silent, but it was too late to say anything now.

The Supreme Bone was actually taken away like this, and outside the cave of the Supreme Bone's barrier, a group of people were still frantically digging a hole.

Inside, Bai Ling had already picked up the Supreme Bone.

"Could this be the Supreme Bone?"

Because of her poor health, Bai Ling rarely left home and knew very little about the outside world. But she wasn't stupid. She picked it up and smelled it, and finally bit it with her teeth. When she found that she couldn't bite it, she chuckled and quickly hid it.

However, getting into the cave is easy, but getting out is difficult.

She was too short to climb that high hole, and the Devouring Beast was too small to help her.

She was hardworking and resilient. She picked up stones from the side and slowly piled them up. Her hands and clothes were covered in mud, but she didn't mind.

After a full hour, she finally touched the ground.

"Push me up!" She stepped onto the Devouring Beast, which pushed her hard, and Bai Ling finally reached the ground. She was panting, but she immediately untied the ribbon around her waist and leaned over the cave entrance, calling out:
“Xiuxiu, bite the ribbon, I’ll pull you up.”

After finishing all this, Bai Ling didn't clean up the mud. Instead, she quickly left the place, put the Supreme Bone into her Beast Taming Space, and then lay down on the ground, saying, "I'm exhausted."

Li Zhen and his two companions in the air, along with other staff members, were all sweating bullets.

What a weak beast tamer!
As for Lin Chen here, he has already overcome five obstacles and defeated six generals.

The rewards in my hands are also accumulating:
"Psychotropic drugs"

"Firewood (one of the evolution materials)"

"100,000 Divine Fox Vouchers"

Every time Lin Chen cleared a level, he hoped that the Supreme Bone would be inside.

But each expectation turned into a disappointment.

Seeing that the road was about to end, Lin Chen finally fell into deep thought again.

"No, you're overthinking it."

Lin Chen pondered for a full five minutes before finally waking up.

He took out the puzzle pieces again, patted his head one last time, determined the direction, and headed straight for the middle road.

"I hope it's not too late."

He kept increasing his speed, but he already had a bad feeling.

By the time Lin Chen arrived, a full three hours had passed. He reached the entrance of the Supreme Bone cave.

They discovered that the tunnel had been dug open, the checkpoints had been deciphered, and a major battle was taking place here.

Li Zhen and the others, who were monitoring everything from the air, also spotted Lin Chen's trail, but they didn't say anything and just watched quietly.

Rules are rules. They want Lin Chen to obtain the Bone of Self-Respect, but not through cheating.

It seemed a victor had been decided. The beast tamer, holding the fake Supreme Bone, roared to the sky and said, "Hahaha, I got it! I got it!"

Lin Chen rushed forward quickly, and the beast tamer immediately became alert, saying, "Do you also want to fight?"

Lin Chen ignored him and went straight into the cave. After surveying the area, he pointed to a spot and said to Xiao Bai:
"Break into here."

Little White immediately activated its horns and rammed into the bull with all its might.

Under the watchful eyes of the other beast tamers, another cave suddenly appeared.

Lin Chen rushed in, opened the box, and found it empty.

Looking up again, that's where the cave entrance is.
sunny.

"Oh no, we've run into a tomb raider."

He turned to leave, but unexpectedly, the spirit beast of the man who had just held the Supreme Bone outside the cave also collapsed.

In its place was someone else.
Despite its ordinary appearance, the spirit beast is quite eye-catching.

Although, like Cai Yuanji, he is also a Shadow Tiger.

But its level is as high as 18.

That's right.

He was the beast tamer who had previously specialized in clearing out people in the northwest, and his name was Zhao Liang.

Along the way, he had already eliminated more than twenty people, each time lying in wait for the level to be deciphered before launching a direct attack.

Although this was within the rules, Zhao Liang was clearly a dark-hearted person. Regardless of whether others had obtained treasures or not, as long as he didn't like them, he would beat them up first.

Lin Chen ignored him, but Zhao Liang had already seen the hole inside and said, "Hand it over."

"The Supreme Bone has already been taken." Lin Chen didn't want to fight this pointless battle.

Moreover, I really don't have much confidence in getting to level 18.

Although Xiaobai had previously defeated a level 15 Thunderbeast, that was in a team battle, and the Thunderbeast had been weakened.

Xiaobai is only level 14 now, so it's obviously difficult for him to fight against opponents 4 levels higher.

"Hand it over." As Zhao Liang repeated, he waved his hand, signaling Shadow Tiger to block Lin Chen's path.

Seeing this scene from the sky, Li Zhen also became interested and said:
"Looks like we've reached the final round."

Tang Xuehai nodded, but added, "He's going to suffer a bit."

Li Zhen and Huang Xiaotian also didn't think highly of Lin Chen.

Although Lin Chen is incredibly powerful, it would be extremely difficult for him to surpass four levels.

"I'll repeat myself, the contents have already been taken," Lin Chen said.

"Even so, you must have taken quite a few other treasures, judging from how skillfully you handled them just now." Zhao Liang sneered.

Lin Chen remained silent.

He knew that this battle was inevitable.

He nodded to Xiaobai, and Niu Niu immediately stepped forward to face the Shadow Tiger.

"Zhao Liang is here to beat people up again."

"The beast tamer of this plow-horned beast is quite strong, having collected quite a few rewards along the way. It seems we'll have to hand them over as well."

"Pity."

Many spectators in the sky shook their heads.

They watched the whole thing; Zhao Liang's rampage attracted a lot of attention.

Lin Chen was the same.

However, no one believed that Lin Chen could defeat Zhao Liang.

After all, the suppression of hierarchy is a given.

Amidst the uproar, the battle below had already begun.

Xiao Bai took the initiative from the start, using Iron Horn Charge to run.

However, the Shadow Tiger is also very experienced in combat, and when it activates its second skill, Night Hunt Frenzy, its speed is also extremely fast.

Immediately afterward, it pounced upward, and Little White seized the opportunity to activate its Soul-Suppressing Hoof.

Lin Chen said that it has no chance in a protracted war; only a quick victory will give it a chance.

Xiao Bai's Soul-Suppressing Hoof was quite effective, hitting the Shadow Tiger from a distance.

The Shadow Tiger immediately covered its head, its spirits waning.

"Now, Xiaobai."

Lin Chen shouted.

The little white calf bellowed and started running again, unleashing its strongest combo attack!

"This cow."

Countless people in the sky watched this scene, and they were all amazed.

Xiao Bai's speed increased, and when the Four Oxen appeared, everyone saw hope.

Could it be
Is this plough-horned beast truly capable of overcoming four levels and winning the final victory?

Lin Chen also clenched his fists, but the change in the battlefield began with the roar of a tiger.

The Shadow Tiger roared, dispelling the mental fatigue that Xiao Bai had inflicted.

"The might of the Tiger King?"

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, realizing that something was wrong.

Zhao Liang, standing some distance away, also sneered and said:
"You don't really think you can win, do you?"
