Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 111 Poison Sac Crispy Wave!

Zhongyi looked at Shen Xuan with a meaningful gaze and patted Shen Xuan's shoulder.

"Shen Xuan, your Purple Erosion isn't best suited for skirmishes."

"As a poison-attribute Order Beast, Purple Eclipse's fighting style is actually not much different from other poison-attribute Taming Beasts."

"In your impression, what is the best fighting style for poison-attribute beast tamers?"

Zhong Yi's words really stumped Xuan, as Shen Xuan had not received much education at the Starry Sky Academy.

I have very little knowledge about beast taming and related combat techniques.

But in the Green Field Tavern in Zhuanyun Alley, Shen Xuan had no shortage of dealings with poisonous snakes, insects, and rodents.

Being bitten by poisonous snakes, insects, and rodents was commonplace for the slaves in the transfer alley.

Because they have to do heavy physical labor on weekdays, they often don't even know they've been bitten by snakes, insects, or rodents.

One night before going to bed, Shen Xuan noticed that his ankle was swollen.

Although my ankle doesn't hurt or itch, my entire left leg is swollen and black.

Even though Shen Xuan's body was covered with purplish-black marks at the time, the swelling and blackening of his left leg was still very obvious.

The slaves tattooed with slave markings at the Green Field Tavern have clearly marked prices.

Hiring a healer with healing abilities to treat poison wounds would cost far more than Shen Xuan's price.

After learning that Shen Xuan had been poisoned, the manager of the Green Field Tavern simply exempted Shen Xuan from his work.

They fed Shen Xuan a few cheap antidote pills, but did not treat him.

Shen Xuan was in and out of consciousness for four or five days, but he managed to fight off the toxins by relying on his immune system.

Otherwise, Shen Xuan would have died when he was bitten by the poisonous creature.

"Young Master's most effective fighting style for his poison-attribute beast tamers is probably sneak attacks."

Zhong Yi smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"That's right. For ordinary poison-attribute beasts, ambushes are indeed the best way to fight."

"But for your Order Beast, the Thousand-Eat Poison Mother, because its venom is strong enough, a successful sneak attack would be tantamount to an assassination."

"As long as we can infect a few Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes with the poison of the Thousand-Corrosion Poison Mother without alerting the Snow Ape King, quietly wait for them to die, and then let the poison chain jump."

"The poison chain alone cannot kill the Snow Ape King, but it should not be a problem to kill those Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes."

"We have the Lampflower to help us withstand the harsh environment, and we have plenty of time to wait here for the poison chain to activate in the Snowstorm Ape group."

Shen Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard Zhong Yi's words. Zhong Yi's words once again opened up new ideas for Shen Xuan, a newbie who was participating in the secret realm exploration for the first time.

Zhong Ling, standing to the side, asked with some confusion.

"Young Master, Shen Xuan's Order Beast has been tested before, and it spreads out all its silken arms and extends them in one direction."

"Currently, we can only use stings on targets within 150 meters at most."

"If Shen Xuan's Order Beast were in an open environment, it could use its silken arms to sting the Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes that were following the leader creature."

"The Thousand Corrosion Poison Mother has become a sitting duck; if we send reinforcements, we'll be exposed too."

"I.

.

At this point, Zhong Ling seemed to remember something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Young Master, although the current low temperature outside is not suitable for the Blade Butterfly to fight and survive, it can fly for about ten minutes without any problem."

"I have two Blade Butterflies whose exclusive trait is Double Disintegration, which disintegrates more units when using the skill to disintegrate blades."

"If we could coat the Blade-Slaying Butterfly with the venom of the Mother of Ten Thousand Corrosions, we could use the Blade-Slaying Butterfly to deliver poison remotely."

"Use a suicidal charge to attack the Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes surrounding the boss creature."

"The Snow Ape King will definitely not discover our presence."

"Monsters like the Snow Ape King, which have a strong sense of territory, generally do not leave their territory unless there is a clear enemy."

After checking the information about the Snow Ape King on the Secret Realm Pass, Zhong Ling began to think of a solution.

Just now, Zhong Ling confirmed by controlling the Blade Butterfly that the leader of this secret realm is the Snow Ape King.

Although Blade Butterfly was unable to meet the Snow Ape King in person.

However, the Snow Ape King had a habit of defecating on the edge of his territory to clearly define its boundaries.

The Blade Butterfly saw the Snow Ape King's signature reddish-black, dry, strip-shaped feces, because in the Ice Cave Secret Realm, only the Snow Ape King could digest the bones he swallowed so thoroughly.

Shen Xuan shook his head inwardly when Zhong Ling first made this suggestion, but he didn't interrupt her.

Now that Zhong Ling had finished speaking, Shen Xuan said decisively.

"The Purple Erosion can actively suppress the exercise of the rule authority in the venom, so even a beast-level Blade Butterfly can be contaminated with the Purple Erosion's venom."

"Even if the authority of the rules is suppressed, the wings will rot due to the corrosive effects of the venom in less than a minute."

"The metallic phosphorus on the wings of the blade butterfly cannot stop the purple venom."

As Zhong Yi listened to Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan's discussion, the smile on her face widened.

The two not only improved their combat skills, but also made progress in their combat philosophy.

Especially during exploration of secret realms, combat strategy can sometimes be more important than combat skills.

Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling's thoughts at this moment can be said to coincide with Zhong Yi's strategy.

Zhongyi also needs Blade Butterfly to launch a suicidal charge, but what Zhongyi needs is not Blade Butterfly carrying poison to injure Snowstorm Ape and Icestorm Ape.

The venom of the Thousand-Corrosion Poison Mother was poured into the cut wound.

I prefer to adopt a more sophisticated and effective approach for the Snowstorm Ape and the Icestorm Ape.

Right under Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan's noses, Zhong Yi took out a large piece of pork belly from a black-backed wild boar from her storage bag.

Black-backed wild boar meat is tender and juicy, making it exceptionally delicious when braised.

Every time I eat braised pork belly made with black-backed wild boar from Da Ling Dang, I can always eat at least an extra bowl of rice.

In the Ice Cave Secret Realm, food is so scarce that Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes have to eat their own kind.

The aroma of this rich, fatty black-backed wild boar meat is an indescribable delicacy for snow blizzard apes and ice blizzard apes.

Just like the allure of a tuna tower at the Green Field Tavern for Shen Xuan, who was eating moldy dry rations all day long.

Zhong Yi said to Hong Ji, who was standing next to him.

"Hong Ji, do you remember the strawberry bubble tea that Zhong Ling bought for you before we entered the Ice Cave Secret Realm?"

"Use the venom sacs of the Swamp Lizard Monster as material to make some Venom Sac Crisps."

"Each one is made smaller than the popping boba in the fruit tea, so that the snowstorm apes and icestorm apes can swallow them directly."

"Don't let their teeth rupture the venom sac of the fragile Poopo!"

Upon hearing Zhongyi's command, Hongji spread out her fair left hand, and a hole immediately appeared in her palm.

"Master, this is simple. I just need to add some fascia and fat to the surface of these venom sacs."

"When you bite down, the fascia will tear your teeth apart, and the supple fat can also protect these venom sacs when under pressure."

"Don't worry, I'm absolutely professional. Actually, I can absorb the ingredients into my body, reorganize them, and then cook them in the big bell. Maybe it will taste even better."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yi thought to herself that biotechnology is also technology, and technology is productivity.

They quickly stopped Hong Ji from having this terrible idea.

Zhong Yi didn't want to pick up a piece of fish and bite into it, only to find it filled with tiny, crunchy bits that tasted like pig's trotters.

Hong Ji felt a little disappointed when she saw that Zhong Yi did not accept her idea of ​​assembling the ingredients.

However, Hong Ji plans to try it herself when she has the chance. She plans to stuff the skull of the Ice Storm Ape into the muscles of the Horned Demon and add some mixed beast-taming eyeballs. It should taste pretty good.

Soon, tiny, mung bean-sized, specially made venom sacs filled with Fang Shi Poison Mother's venom appeared in Hong Ji's palm.

Zhongyi meticulously cut the black-backed wild boar meat on the ground.

Ensure that after the Blade Butterfly is dissected, each individual Blade Butterfly can pass through the suspended silk thread.

Holding onto this specially prepared black-backed wild boar meat won't significantly affect the flight speed.

Zhongyi prepared a full one hundred chunks of black-backed wild boar meat mixed with poisonous sac crispy boba.

Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan both understood what Zhong Yi meant.

Since the Blade Butterfly doesn't need to injure the target, after its blade is removed, it only needs to transport the meat chunks.

Zhongyi selected four Blade Butterflies with unique traits related to Endurance and had them perform the Deblade skill.

These Blade Butterflies are not beasts contracted by Zhong Ling, but rather butterfly weapons controlled by Zhong Ling through her Beast Tamer talent, the Cocoon, after anchoring to the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly.

If we compare the anchored Soul Vein Mother Butterfly to a pistol, then each Blade Butterfly controlled by the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly is equivalent to a bullet in that pistol.

If war requires it, sacrificing bullets is a very normal thing.

After the four Blade Butterflies disintegrated, they split into a total of one hundred and thirty-seven units.

Thirty-seven of these individuals, after being dissected, did not carry any pieces of flesh.

Ice Storm Apes have ranged attack capabilities. If an Ice Storm Ape condenses ice spikes, it can attack the Blade Butterflies that are transporting chunks of meat.

The Blade Butterflies without meat will ram into the ice spikes, ensuring that the other Blade Butterflies carrying meat can scatter the meat, which has been coated with Poison Sac Crispy Poison, everywhere.

Then Zhong Yi and the others just need to wait for the poison to take effect.

Under Zhongyi's instructions, Hongji did not make the venom sacs of these swamp lizard monsters too thick.

In just about an hour, the venom of the Thousand-Corrosion Poison Mother will be able to corrode through the poison sac.

At this time, the bits of flesh were still in the stomachs of the Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes.

For ordinary poison-attribute beasts, the venom enters the digestive tract of other creatures.

Unless the digestive tract of those organisms has ruptures, the venom has no way to penetrate the digestive wall and infect the target.

But this does not apply to the Mother of Ten Thousand Corrosions!

If the Venomous Mother does not actively suppress the authority of the rules, her venom will directly disintegrate the stomachs of the Snowstorm Ape and Icestorm Ape that have swallowed chunks of meat.

This allows toxins to spread throughout the body via the well-developed blood vessels in the stomach.

The airdrop was a great success. Except for a dozen or so Blade Butterflies carrying chunks of meat, which were shot down by Ice Storm Apes with ice spikes in mid-air.

More than eighty individual Blade Butterflies, having shattered their blades, successfully scattered chunks of meat throughout the colony.

As the personal guards of the Snow Ape King, these Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes were required to offer food to the Snow Ape King as soon as they received it.

At this moment, the Snow Ape King was fast asleep on the snow platform, having just eaten five female Snowstorm Apes before going to sleep.

The guards would only eat after the Snow Ape King woke up.

The guards surrounding the Snow Ape King's territory were now starving.

However, a small number of guards, out of fear of the Snow Ape King, chose to put away the pieces of meat.

But after seeing the other guards eat the meat that was full of greasy aroma, the guards who had put the meat away could no longer resist and ate it themselves.

Some of the more astute guards even went to search for the Blade Butterflies that had just been shot down.

They wanted to find pieces of flesh to eat from the blade butterflies.

In terms of intelligence, monsters like the Snowstorm Ape and Icestorm Ape are comparable to those of the Horned Demon.

They can only be considered some of the more intelligent wild beasts.

When wild animals are hungry, they can hardly resist the instinct to eat.

Based on feedback from the Soul Vein Mother Butterfly, Zhong Ling informed Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan of the situation.

Zhong Yi felt somewhat regretful upon hearing Zhong Ling's report.

If these Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes can resist their instinct to eat, they can give a portion of the meat chunks laced with Poison Sac Crispy Popo to the Snow Ape King.

It would be good if the Snow Ape King could eat these chunks of meat.

"Let's go, let's find an ice cave to prepare for battle."

"It's unrealistic to think that poisoning could kill all of the Snow Ape King's personal guards."

"Once the Snow Ape Prince awakens, he will lead the guards who were not poisoned to evacuate."

"Hopefully, this snow ape prince can sleep a little longer."

"However, as long as we can clear out more than 80% of the Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes, even if we face them head-on in the Ice Cave, our chances of winning are still very high."

The previous battle mainly relied on Shen Xuan's Order Beast, the Myriad Corrosive Poison Mother.

The upcoming battle will rely on Benihime.

Faced with thousands of Snowstorm Apes and Icestorm Apes, Red Princess was engaged in a protracted battle, and her energy was indeed running out.

Having consumed so many materials, Hong Ji should have no problem defeating a Snow Ape King at the peak of the Extraordinary Rank.

Moreover, the Snow Ape King at the peak of the Transcendent Rank would also be affected by the poison chain.

Before long, Zhong Yi and the others found an ice cave that was only ten meters wide.

Although this ice cave is not particularly long and narrow, its eight-meter width makes it the narrowest ice cave that can be found.

The Snow Ape King, nearly three meters wide, fought in the ice cave, swinging his arms with a reach of almost seven meters.

It basically blocked the entire passage.

Even if there are guards who can pass through, only one can pass through at a time.

Zhong Yi and his group lay in ambush at the entrance of the ice cave, where they could vaguely see the Snow Ape King on the snow platform in the distance, as well as thousands of guards patrolling below the snow platform.

This snow ape king lay on the snow platform without any regard for appearances, snoring loudly. Only a leader-level creature would dare to make such a sound so brazenly in the secret realm.

The sleeping snow ape was completely unaware that it had become prey.

Even their home is about to be robbed!
