Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 89 The Bloodline Metamorphosis of the Phantom-Tailed Fox!

Zhongyi took a glass and placed the gardener's earthworm, which was almost ten centimeters long, into it.

The gardener's earthworms kept wriggling and exploring inside the glass, constantly stretching and shortening their bodies.

It moved only a few centimeters after trying for a long time because there was no soil in the glass.

Once soil is poured into this glass, gardener shrimp worms, which secrete vermicompost, can travel nearly 100 meters through the soil in just two minutes.

Zhong Yi poured the Soul-Breaking Soil directly into the glass.

Zhongyi initially intended to use the Soul Seed to contract the Gardener Earthworm, but at the moment, Zhongyi had too many beasts to contract.

We have to make choices!

The biggest problem with this gardener earthworm is that it uses its Earth Shield skill to create numerous nests after splitting into new individuals.

Zhong Yi believes this problem is not difficult to solve.

Biological control methods were already being used scientifically in Zhongyi's previous life, and they can have amazing effects in the world of beast taming.

Simply placing a basilisk, a type of predator, into the container where gardener's earthworms are kept can effectively limit their nesting.

The soil burrowing beetle is an evolved form of the soil burrowing beetle. As long as the number of soil burrowing beetles and gardener earthworms is kept at a ratio of 1:1.

The gardener worm uses its skill to form a soil shield, which, as soon as it solidifies, is rolled away by the earth beetle with its powerful hind legs, like rolling a dung ball.

Gardener earthworms may have low intelligence, but they are not entirely devoid of intelligence.

After evolving into the Gardener Shrimp-Earthworm, its intelligence will be further enhanced.

When the gardener worm's nest was initially rolled away by the earthworm, it would definitely have thought about rebuilding it.

However, after a while, they discovered that no matter how they built their nests, they would always be raided.

Moreover, when the earth beetle rolls away from its nest, it leaves its scent in the soil.

At the same time, kick away the soil that the gardener's earthworms had painstakingly cultivated and mix it into the uncultivated soil.

When faced with such a situation, the gardener shrimp will choose to move and gradually give up building a nest.

This is the process of using one organism to domesticate another.

The earthworm rolls away the nest of the gardener's worm or the florist's worm in order to build its own nest.

The earth beetle is essentially a porter; as long as you promptly remove the earth beetle's nest, which resembles a small castle, you'll be fine.

In order to reproduce, the earth beetle will repeatedly build its nest.

At this moment, Zhong Yi had already dripped nearly twenty milliliters of Soul Breath Soil into the container through the filaments of the Soul Control Flower.

After absorbing these Soul-Breathing Soils, the Gardener Shrimp and Earthworm showed no signs of bloodline evolution.

I decided to let the Soul-Controlling Flower drip more Soul-Breathing Soil into the container, until I had dripped in nearly eighty milliliters of Soul-Breathing Soil.

The grayish-brown gardener's shrimp worm then stopped absorbing the Soul-Breathing Soil.

The gardener's earthworm's body seemed to be constantly deconstructing and reassembling, expelling a lot of disgusting grayish-green tissue fluid.

The color of this gardener's shrimp gradually lightened over time, eventually turning into a milky green like jadeite.

It is clear that the gardener earthworm has now transformed into a gardener shrimp worm.

Apart from the change in color, there were no obvious changes in body length and size.

Just when Zhongyi thought the evolution was completely complete, he suddenly discovered that two external tissues had grown out of the middle of the gardener shrimp worm's body.

This external tissue kept growing, and soon it swelled to the size of a thumbnail.

Two round, sac-like objects grow on either side of the gardener earthworm's body, and the more you look at them, the more they seem to resemble things that can only be found on male animals.

Zhong Yi used the All Things Detection tool to examine the Gardener Earthworm after its bloodline transformation.

[Beast Name]: Gardener Shrimp-Earthworm [Beast Species]: Lumbriaceae/Lumbricus [Beast Level]: Extraordinary (3/10)

[Beast Taming Type]: Earth [Beast Taming Quality]: Silver Quality Skills:

【Vermiform Oil Movement】: During the crawling process, vermiform oil is secreted in excess, thereby accelerating its movement speed in the soil.

[Earth Shield]: Condenses the earth element in the soil into an earth shield that can cover oneself. In addition to resisting external attacks, the earth shield can also facilitate the building of a nest. The nest has the effect of accelerating seed germination.

Exclusive Features:

[Accelerated Splitting]: When it absorbs enough energy and grows to a sufficient length, it will accelerate the splitting speed of the body and reduce the energy loss after splitting.

[External gastric sacs]: Two external gastric sacs form in the central ring region of the worm's body. These sacs are unidirectionally connected to the stomach, greatly enhancing the worm's ability to digest soil. When sufficient nutrients are available, the gastric sacs store digestive juices secreted by the worm itself. (The gastric sacs can regrow if damaged.)

Upon further investigation, Zhongyi discovered that these two external tissues were specialized organs that grew on the body, representing the unique external gastric sacs that the Gardener Shrimp Earthworm acquired by upgrading to Silver quality.

These two external gastric pouches are unidirectionally connected to the stomach, which can improve the rate at which gardener earthworms digest the soil.

When there are sufficient nutrients, digestive juices will be stored in these two external gastric pouches.

The gardener earthworms cultivate the soil using their own digestive juices.

According to data from the All Things Exploration Center, the gastric sacs that grow on the gardener earthworm can regrow after being destroyed.

This brought a look of surprise to Zhongyi's face!

If that's the case, then as long as you provide the gardener shrimp with enough nutrition, you can collect its stomach sac regularly.

The stomach sacs filled with the digestive fluids of gardener shrimp worms are sold as commodities.

The soil that the gardener's earthworms originally cultivated was not quite enough to satisfy their needs.

The emergence of the unique external gastric sac has greatly increased the productivity of the gardener earthworm.

This allows Zhongyi to sell these stomach sacs as commodities to raise funds.

Those forces that cultivate plant-based beasts would undoubtedly crave the stomachs of gardeners, shrimps, and worms filled with digestive juices.

The surprise that Gardener's Shrimp evolved into Florist's Shrimp for Zhongyi goes far beyond its unique external gastric sac.

Due to the improvement in bloodline, the basic skill of "Earthworm Oil Path" has changed from secreting a large amount of earthworm oil to secreting an excessive amount of earthworm oil.

Once the bloodline is elevated to the level of the gardener earthworm, the effectiveness of worm oil on the soil is many times greater than before.

These earthworm oils have become a valuable resource that can be sold.

However, the change in the skill "Earthworm Oil" is not enough to surprise Zhong Yi.

What truly surprised Zhong Yi was the change that occurred with the skill Earth Shield, which had previously limited the value of the Gardener's Shrimp Worm.

The earthworm nests built by gardeners originally offered no benefit, but now the earthworm nests built by florists have the effect of accelerating seed germination.

It's important to know that the most difficult part of cultivating many plant-based beasts is getting their seeds to germinate successfully.

The germination-accelerating effect of the nests built by the splitting individuals of the gardener earthworm on seed germination can be stacked with the germination-accelerating effect of the soil it cultivates.

Because of the change in the skill Earth Shield, Zhongyi can specifically reserve some of the Gardener Earthworm's offspring.

These offspring build nests to help the seeds of plant-based beast tamers germinate quickly.

Or they could take orders from forces that primarily cultivate plant-based beast tamers, helping those forces to successfully germinate seeds that are difficult to sprout.

In exchange for resources and rewards!

The moment Zhongyi finished cultivating the gardener earthworm, he received a gift-giving emotion from the Soul-Controlling Flower.

This feeling is like a child who gets a perfect score on a test and desperately needs praise from their mother.

Zhong Yi smiled and raised an eyebrow; a new Soul Control Seed had finally condensed.

There are currently four beasts that I want to strengthen with the Soul Control Seed.

By using the Soul Seed to contract and tame beasts, it is not necessary to use materials to induce them, unlike using the Soul Soil to strengthen the beasts.

There is a priority in everything, and Zhongyi secretly pondered which of the four beasts he should contract with first.

The Blood Peony has not yet been cultivated, so even if the Blood Demon Queen Bee is a resource-producing beast of the foundation level, there is no need to form a contract with it first.

Zhongyi doesn't have any strange creatures following her at the moment, so there's no need to prioritize contracting Moon-Eyed Lily of the Valley.

Zhong Yi chose between the Phantom Fox and the Sunlight Thorns, but ultimately decided to prioritize using the Soul Seed to contract the Phantom Fox.

Actually, I traded for that pair of Thorn Hunting Birds in the Destiny Academy's treasury. The Sunlight Thorn should be a higher priority than the Phantom Tail Fox. I plan to move out of the Evolution Shop soon and live in my Destiny Manor in the Central City.

After the contract is signed, to ensure the growth of the Sunthorn, the location for its roots needs to be determined.

As a plant-type beast with a strong sense of territory, it is not only extremely difficult to re-establish itself, but it also needs to readjust to its environment.

Zhong Yi moved to his own Chosen One's Mansion, and waited until the gardener, Shrimp-Earth, had prepared the soil before letting the Sunlight Thorns take root.

In the Daytime Dining Hall, Lin Zhuo gave Zhong Yi a Beast-Controlling Moon Laurel, which was on par with the Sunlight Thorns.

Like Sunlight Thorns, the Moonlit Laurel is a reward given when the exploration progress of the secret realm reaches 95%.

The Moonlit Destiny is an exceptionally excellent healing-type beast tamer. Most healing-type beast tamers who are compatible with it will be unable to resist forming a contract with the Moonlit Destiny.

However, Zhong Yi never had any idea of ​​contracting with Meizawa Yuegui, because Meizawa Yuegui's abilities were an infinitely weakened version of the Resurrection God.

While the healing abilities of the Moon Laurel are similar to those of the Resurrection God, it cannot activate the target's life template like the Resurrection God does.

He simply took a liking to using the Osmanthus of Destiny as a material for his soul base and planted it in his soul base.

The growth rate of soul base materials is much faster inside the soul base than outside.

However, because the Life-Bound Laurel grows extremely slowly, it only sprouted a few tender branches after taking root in Zhongyi's soul base for several days.

The Destiny Laurel was the first Soul Base material Zhong Yi used, and it took root in Zhong Yi's Soul Base.

It did indeed improve the recovery speed of life and healing energy in Zhongyi's soul base.

The resurrected god was very interested in the laurel of the Life-Giving Moon, and every time he left the palace, he would personally bring back a handful of water from the celestial spring that cascaded down from the heavens.

Water the laurel tree in the bonsai garden.

Having decided to form a contract with the Phantom Fox, Zhongyi took out the brown crystal that had been sealing the Phantom Fox.

A phantom-tailed fox, about the size of a kitten, is sleeping peacefully inside the brown crystal.

Zhong Yi placed his hand on the brown crystal and then infused it with his soul power.

The moment the brown crystal came into contact with the soul power, countless cracks immediately appeared from the inside out.

Zhong Yi gently tapped the brown crystal, and it shattered completely, revealing the phantom-tailed fox sealed inside.

Without the restriction of the brown crystal, the phantom-tailed fox, which had been sealed away since birth, immediately showed signs of opening its eyes.

Zhongyi ignored the broken crystal on the ground and carefully held the Phantom Fox in her arms.

Prior to this, Zhong Yi had deliberately made Lan Po leave the room.

When the Phantom Fox opens its eyes, it will mistake the first target it sees for its closest relative.

This target doesn't necessarily have to be humans; other mammals with normal heartbeats and body temperatures can also achieve this.

Although Zhongyi uses the Soul Seed to contract with the Phantom Fox, the contract does not change the Phantom Fox's feelings and attachment to the target it sees at first glance.

Soon, the phantom fox in Zhongyi's arms opened its eyes.

Upon seeing Zhong Yi, her large, wet eyes immediately shrank into his arms.

After opening its eyes, the Phantom Fox needs to replenish its energy most.

Zhongyi took out the animal milk she had prepared in advance.

Zhongyi did not choose to feed the phantom-tailed fox with animal milk drawn from a syringe.

Feeding a newly opened phantom-tailed fox with milk using a syringe can easily cause it to choke.

Zhongyi scooped up some animal milk with a spoon and slowly brought it to the phantom fox's mouth. After tasting the animal milk, the phantom fox's big, wet eyes immediately lit up.

She stretched out her little paws and begged Zhongyi for it in a coquettish manner.

Zhongyi has never been able to resist cute little things, so she quickly started feeding the phantom fox spoonful after spoonful.

After finishing the beast milk in the plate, the phantom fox was noticeably stronger than before.

Nestled in Zhongyi's arms, Genggeng chirped and babbled, as if he regarded Zhongyi as his mother.

The phantom fox's attachment to Zhongyi immediately caused the Soul-Controlling Flower, which was rooted in Zhongyi's soul, to feel jealous. The jealousy was like a child walking with their mother on the street when another child suddenly ran out from the side of the road.

The little boy snuggled into his mother's arms while loudly calling out "Mommy!"

Zhongyi is used to Soul Master's Flower being like a little jealous person, and she is also good at comforting Soul Master.

The transformation of the Illusionary Fox's bloodline can be induced by the Sealed Ice Crystal, either before or after the Soul Control Seed is used to form a contract with it.

However, undergoing bloodline transformation before forming a contract will allow the Phantom Fox to acquire attributes and grow a tail before experiencing a bloodline leap.

This is undoubtedly more beneficial for Phantom Fox!

But as soon as this little guy opened his eyes, he was about to absorb the domineering ice element within the sealed ice crystal.

To force one's own bloodline to transform and grow a tail, one must inevitably suffer greatly.

However, whether it's for the good of the Phantom Fox or because he prefers being a beast tamer, strength must be the priority.

We definitely have to endure hardship!

But for this phantom fox, being able to endure such suffering right after birth is perhaps a kind of luck.
