Beast Taming: I am the Six-Eared Macaque, yet I was abandoned by the Empress.

Chapter 52 Self-taught! From now on, please call me Sixth Brother!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the seventh-tier Xuan Tu Crocodile Turtle King laid seven eggs on the damp sand.

Each egg was as big as a washbasin.

This is normal.

A typical fourth-order alligator snapping turtle has a shell diameter of over eight meters.

The seventh-tier Xuan Tu Crocodile Turtle King has a shell diameter of over twelve meters!

With such a massive tortoise king, the eggs it lays naturally can't be small.

That's why these people can see things so clearly.

They felt no shame whatsoever for spying on alligator snapping turtles laying eggs.

Just as they were getting excited.

An unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, a guard turtle that appeared to be a fifth-tier Xuan Tu Crocodile Turtle, which had been standing next to the Crocodile Turtle King, turned its head.

It swallowed one of the turtle eggs whole!

Due to the blind spot, the seventh-tier Xuan Tu Crocodile Turtle King was not noticed at all.

Lu Zhanming and the others immediately became anxious.

There are only seven eggs in total.

It was just born, still warm, and you swallowed it whole?

Immediately, Lu Zhanming sent out the Golden Light Rabbit to rush forward and seize the six Turtle King Eggs.

That's the lowest it can be!

Seeing Lu Zhanming and the others rushing over, the seventh-tier male mate of the Alligator Snapping Turtle King immediately led the other Alligator Snapping Turtles to rush up and block them.

Just then, a gust of cold wind appeared, accompanied by flying sand and stones, instantly blotting out the sky and the sun.

In the dim light, Lu Zhanming saw several alligator snapping turtles rush toward the turtle king's egg and begin to devour it.

He rushed forward to stop them, but couldn't find the target at all.

When the sandstorm subsided, they discovered that not a single tortoise egg was left!

He glanced around and said in a deep voice:

"Search it out and find out which alligator snapping turtle ate it!"

This situation is too bizarre.

A sudden gust of cold wind, and several alligator snapping turtles frantically devouring the king turtle eggs.

Lu Zhanming's intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

However, he was also unable to deduce exactly what had happened.

Meanwhile, underground, seven alligator snapping turtles, each carrying an egg, were flying away into the distance.

It's impossible to eat it directly.

Lu Zheng doesn't like to eat eggshells!

What just happened was merely a performance for the Lu family to see.

They'll think the alligator snapping turtle went mad and ate the king turtle's eggs, so they won't investigate the matter further in the short term.

In this way, the risk can be minimized.

After stealing the egg, the clone immediately took the turtle king egg to an underground cave two hundred miles away.

Looking at the seven enormous Xuan Tu Crocodile Turtle King Eggs standing before him, Mu Yunlan said excitedly:

"Little Six Ears! I hereby declare that the title of the number one thief in the Thirteen Continents belongs to you from now on!"

"Personally certified by me, Mu Yunlan!"

Lu Zheng immediately shouted:

"I didn't! I didn't! Don't slander me!"

"You ordered me to do all this!"

"I'm just a simple and kind little monkey."

Mu Yunlan gave a thumbs up in praise:

"Good! Excellent! That's it!"

"If you get caught in the future, just say that, and I'll believe you!"

Lu Zheng immediately jumped into her arms and took a bite.

"Don't say such unlucky things!"

"I! I will never be caught!"

Mu Yunlan picked him up and gave him a big kiss.

"Hehehe!"

"Little Six Ears! I like you so much!"

"Come on, have some eggs!"

As he spoke, Mu Yunlan took out a hammer and smashed a hole in the top of the eggshell.

Immediately, a rich spiritual energy, accompanied by a fragrance, was released.

Mu Yunlan urged:

"Drink it all quickly, or you'll attract other ferocious beasts."

Although the entrance to this cave has been guarded by Lu Zheng's clones, the good stuff must be absorbed as soon as possible, and no accidents can be allowed to happen.

The Lu family's downfall was simply due to not seizing the time!

Well, if someone from the Lu family had caught the alligator snapping turtle's eggs with their hands when it laid them, perhaps they wouldn't have been taken away.

Lu Zheng left no ink mark.

He directly used the "Heaven and Earth Transformation" technique to enlarge his body, then held the turtle egg and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.

A tremendous amount of energy swept over his entire body.

"The taste is pretty good! Fresh and delicious!"

Lu Zheng said in surprise.

Mu Yunlan said with a smile:

"The more high-end the food, the more delicious it tastes."

"Because what it contains is very pure, and the feeling it brings is also ultimate."

"Little Six Ears, if you want more delicious food, and even more delicious food, you'd better get stronger quickly!"

This time, Lu Zheng did not refute, but nodded heavily.

Having been given a second chance at life, he never considered becoming a king or conqueror.

I just want to live comfortably.

Enjoying various fine cuisines can undoubtedly increase one's sense of happiness!

This is something worth putting in some effort for.

He hadn't forgotten that Mu Yunlan had told him about a place called Peach Blossom Paradise.

We're going there to pick peaches!

"Keep eating, finish all seven in one go, and see if you can advance directly to the fifth rank."

Mu Yunlan urged.

Lu Zheng snapped out of his reverie and stopped thinking about peaches.

He picked up the turtle eggs and drank the remaining six in one go.

A surge of energy is released within the body.

He easily stepped into the fourth tier, ninth level.

However, when his spiritual power level reached the fourth rank, ninth level, he lacked the strength to break through the barrier of this level.

"The breakthrough failed."

Lu Zheng sighed helplessly.

Food requires considerable strength to compete for.

However, Lu Zheng had long ago realized that he simply couldn't break through his current level.

Despite being at the same third tier, his spiritual power was actually far more condensed than that of other extraordinary spirit pets.

In other words, even though it's the same tube of energy, yours has a much higher energy density!

This means that to obtain a second tube, one needs to accumulate far more energy than other low-quality spirit pets.

As one's rank increases, this density gap widens significantly!

At the second tier, he was actually about the same as the Golden Scaled Flood Dragon.

At the third tier, its density is already twice that of the Golden Scaled Dragon.

Now that we've reached the fourth tier, it's even more so.

Breaking through to the fifth rank becomes extremely difficult.

Mu Yunlan scooped the shrunken monkey back into her arms and comforted it:

"It's alright! This just shows you're really strong!"

"Anyway, I have other ideas. Let's go back first; maybe you'll break through in a few days!"

As she spoke, she was about to have Lu Zheng use his earth-movement technique to leave.

Lu Zheng, however, told her to wait a moment.

It activated its "Gathering Sand to Form a Tower" talent, using the surrounding sand and stones to quickly grind the seven eggshells into powder and merge them with the earth.

Then, the "Turn Soil into a Marsh" skill was activated, turning this place into an underground river.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of fireballs was unleashed, burning away everything in its path.

Mu Yunlan was stunned.

"I didn't teach you this method of disposing of a body."

"You're practically self-taught!"

Lu Zheng chuckled and said:

"Didn't you tell me to find an opportunity to deal with those two guys, Ma Tianlin and Lin Yang? I've been studying related knowledge lately. Did you think I just sleep all the time?"

"Yes, I was sleeping."

"But my incarnations are all in various places learning new knowledge!"

"So, please stop calling me Little Six-Eared from now on. With enough knowledge, I'm not little anymore."

"Please call me Sixth Brother!"
