Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 418 - 403: Explosion

Over the past seven days, the Little White Spider used the Destiny Spider to thoroughly explore the base’s roads, identifying where traps and alert systems were located, having them all at its fingertips.

Laboratory.

The Life Energy Gathering Array filled the entire laboratory with green patterns, with a butterfly egg placed at each node. Their life energy was extracted bit by bit, eventually converging on the butterfly egg at the center of the array.

The life energy was a vibrant green, dyeing the multicolored, dreamlike butterfly egg a vibrant green, resembling a piece of green jade goose egg.

A transparent protective shield, like glass, was installed around the Life Energy Butterfly Egg to prevent theft.

The butterfly egg, illuminated green by life energy, coupled with the glass-like cover, looked very much like a green light bulb.

The Little White Spider said, "According to their internal personnel’s chatter, this protective shield can withstand a King’s attack for half an hour."

If a King were to come, the King wouldn’t have broken the protective shield before the base leader Zhen Xia arrived.

This Truth Company is quite cautious, but it was of no use against Li Cunxu.

"Chi Xiaoxiong, use Stealing God."

Chi Xiaoxiong’s small black paw became ethereal, extending towards the protective shield, which became as non-existent as air. The black bear claw grabbed the Life Energy Butterfly Egg, which was also rendered ethereal, and pulled it out.

Perhaps due to their confidence in the protective shield, the people at Truth Company did not install an alarm device to sound an alert the moment the Life Energy Butterfly Egg was taken away.

Chi Xiaoxiong handed it to Li Cunxu. The moment he let go, the Life Energy Butterfly Egg immediately returned to its corporeal state.

The instant Li Cunxu got it in his hands, he was shocked, feeling that something was amiss.

The Life Energy Butterfly Egg gave him a feeling of impending doom.

This feeling was indeed the feeling of a Disaster Beast Egg.

He had experienced it in a game.

But why did this Life Energy Butterfly Egg also give him a feeling of an ancient formidable beast?

This feeling should have appeared with a Formidable Beast Egg.

Formidable beasts were not as terrifying as Disaster Beasts, much like the taboo beasts of the Forbidden Zone, they were also embodiments of disaster.

Formidable beasts, unlike taboo beasts, were generally restricted to the Forbidden Zone, whereas formidable beasts could move freely and were extremely ruthless, killing anyone, including their own kind and offspring.

"This ferocious feeling indeed only exists on a Formidable Beast Egg."

Li Cunxu tightly clasped his hands, carefully experiencing it, and once again confirmed.

"Could it be that in addition to increasing life energy, the people at Truth Company also added formidable beast essence to the butterfly egg?"

From within a formidable beast, a substance called formidable beast essence could be extracted and if injected into a pet beast, there was a probability that the pet beast would be transformed into a formidable beast. If the transformation failed, the pet beast would either die or go insane.

However, the probability of a pet beast transforming into a formidable beast could be influenced; as long as enough formidable beast essence was injected, the probability could be increased to one hundred percent.

The Truth Company wouldn’t want the butterfly egg to die from a failed transformation into a formidable beast after putting in so much effort to provide it with life energy and inject formidable beast essence, so it’s likely that the butterfly egg was infused with a sufficient amount of formidable beast essence.

After contemplating for a while, Li Cunxu became more convinced of this possibility; otherwise, there was no way to explain the ferocious feeling brought by the Life Energy Butterfly Egg.

Li Cunxu originally intended to take this Life Energy Butterfly Egg as his contractual pet beast, but now he hesitated.

Formidable beasts were not suitable as Beast Master’s pet beasts.

Demon pets might kill their masters, but formidable beasts would kill their masters even more mercilessly than demon pets; they would kill all your family members, all the people around you, and, if possible, everyone in the city you reside in.

"Let’s get out of here before worrying about this."

Li Cunxu quickly ran out of the base.

After running ten kilometers from the base, Li Cunxu spoke to the Little White Spider.

"Do it!"

The Little White Spider activated the skill "Destiny Command."

It forcibly controlled a person to do something. The Little White Spider used this command on a Silver-level Beast Master in the base, who had no resistance against the Little White Spider’s Destiny Command.

This person was more than just a Silver Beast Master; he was also one of the base’s three doctors and knew the self-destruct code for the base.

[Destiny Command: Trigger the base self-destruct, as quickly as possible]

The doctor looked at his hands in despair as they uncontrollably initiated the base’s self-destruct program and input the confirmation code.

The base’s self-destruct originally had a thirty-second escape window, but the doctor input a code that canceled the thirty-second countdown, triggering an instant self-destruct.

The base exploded without warning.

Other than the doctor, everyone else was bewildered. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But they only remained bewildered for a moment before being incinerated to ashes by the intense heat from the self-destruct.

Zhen Xia was bewildered, but fortunately, being a King, his reaction was extremely swift. Before the explosion completely engulfed him, he summoned his pet beast, the Earth Shield Beetle.

"Protect me."

The Earth Shield Beetle embraced Zhen Xia, then curled into a ball.

The explosion was cataclysmic, shaking the ground and mountains.

The Myriad God-devouring Butterflies floating above the base were also affected by the explosion, disintegrating into dust.

A few Godless Celestial Abyss Snakes came to check the situation, found nothing unusual, and turned back.

Li Cunxu did not leave but waited patiently.

Did the explosion kill Zhen Xia? Li Cunxu thought it likely hadn’t.

King Beastmasters had numerous life-saving methods; they were not easy to kill.

A charcoal-like object was lifted by spiritual power, squeezing out from the ruins, and a tattered-clothed man emerged from the charcoal.

He was indeed the base leader, Zhen Xia.

Zhen Xia looked at the charcoal that wrapped around him, faintly able to see the outline of the Earth Shield Beetle, a trace of anger flickering in his eyes.

The resource-consuming pet beast he had cultivated was now gone, just like that.

What on earth had happened?

How could the base just disappear in an instant?

Could a powerful individual have discovered the base and destroyed it with a single strike?

Zhen Xia surveyed his surroundings, noticing the base appeared more like it had activated its self-destruct procedure rather than being destroyed by a powerful entity.

"Who? Who did this?"

In anger, Zhen Xia spun in place, roaring, when suddenly a wave of excruciating pain was transmitted to his spiritual body.

It was the backlash of a Beast Master.

At that moment, when Zhen Xia was at his weakest, Xiaoruan attacked.

All Things Seal, Slime Transformation Technique, Extinction Bomb.

Zhen Xia gritted his teeth, suddenly lifting his head, his eyes bloodshot, staring in the direction where the skills were launched.

"Golden Armored Celestial General Insect, eliminate all incoming enemies for me."

Li Cunxu found it somewhat troublesome; this Golden Armored Celestial General Insect was of King Five.

The Golden Armored Celestial General Insect, clad in golden armor with a unicorn-like helmet atop its head, resembled a heavenly soldier or general.

Before the Golden Armored Celestial General Insect could attack, All Things Seal blocked its skills, followed by the Slime Transformation Technique.

The once majestically fierce Golden Armored Celestial General Insect instantaneously transformed into a horned, golden slime, resembling a Golden Slime but with an even brighter luster.

Finally, the Extinction Bomb followed up.

A small mushroom cloud rose.

The Golden Armored Celestial General Insect... didn’t die.

It was severely injured.

Should Li Cunxu have added a new wound to the Golden Armored Celestial General Insect? Instead, he had Xiaoruan continue attacking Zhen Xia; Zhen Xia was the key to breaking the situation.

The Golden Armored Celestial General Insect seemed near its end, but in reality, it was resilient; even another twenty Extinction Bombs wouldn’t kill it.
