Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 487 - 472: The Secret Behind the Evil Dragon’s Curse
The small magic whale swallowed the Yin Rat Demon in one gulp, activating Swallow Demon to Become Emperor. The small magic whale’s lifespan was burning intensely, forming a strange power that traced the Yin Demon Rat back to its origin, refining it into a pure strand of demonic qi. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
After absorbing that strand of demonic qi, the small magic whale’s eyes became more spirited; previously, its gaze was pure and naive, but now there was a hint of cunning amidst the innocence.
In addition, the small magic whale grew a bit larger and its level broke through to Black Iron Four.
This time, the Swallow Demon to Become Emperor didn’t result in major changes to the small magic whale; the changes were mostly in its increased intelligence.
Li Cunxu asked, "How much lifespan was consumed?"
Small Magic Whale: "Puchi~ (One hundred and thirty years consumed)"
"That’s still okay!"
To refine a Yin Rat Demon, it actually doesn’t require that much lifespan; three to four years would be enough to refine it.
Swallow Demon to Become Emperor, this skill’s refinement of demons can control the amount of lifespan burned; it can be more or less.
The more lifespan burned, the more thorough the refinement, and the more abilities of this demon can be absorbed.
This Yin Rat Demon had the legendary talent of demonic intelligence, worth spending that much lifespan.
In the following days, Li Cunxu kept watching the glowing jellyfish, setting fires and collecting burning Life-Burning Demon Blood.
As there were no demons around, the small magic whale’s Swallow Demon to Become Emperor could not be used temporarily.
After several consecutive days of burning, the glowing jellyfish swarm was completely wiped out under Li Cunxu’s pursuit.
While setting fire to the glowing jellyfish swarm, Li Cunxu was also waiting for Jiang Lingyun to return so they could go to the Fog Sea together. Somehow, Jiang Lingyun was late returning.
Li Cunxu, having nothing else to do, decided to investigate the matter of someone placing an item with the evil dragon curse in Tongdu’s Treasure Vault.
Regarding that matter, Li Cunxu always felt it to be strange.
The evil dragon curse gradually causes a person to lose themselves and become an evil dragon.
And evil dragons are uncontrollable, prone to eating and killing people.
However, after reviewing years of Tongdu’s news, Li Cunxu found no reports of any broken dragon attacks.
Either someone covered up these incidents, or they never happened at all.
Originally planning to check Tongdu’s Treasure Vault for any dragon blood gems with the evil dragon curse as clues for investigation,
But before entering the treasure vault, Li Cunxu was attracted by a high school student wearing Tongdu First Middle School’s black and white uniform, who was riding a bicycle at an extraordinary speed.
Li Cunxu squinted his eyes; his cursed heart sensed the evil dragon curse on the high school student.
The student’s face was filled with happiness and ambitious wild desires, but not a hint of worry. A teenager cursed to transform into a senseless evil dragon shouldn’t react like this.
Could it be that he just got cursed, and the evil dragon curse hadn’t manifested yet, so his mood wasn’t affected?
"He might be the key to the clues."
Li Cunxu instructed the little white spider to release a Destiny Spider on the high school student to monitor him.
Just a hundred meters from the treasure vault, another high school student passing by in a car caught Li Cunxu’s attention.
This high school student was also afflicted by the evil dragon curse.
Li Cunxu again had the little white spider attach a Destiny Spider to monitor him.
Randomly encountering two people cursed by the evil dragon suggests there might be more cursed individuals in Tongdu.
So, Li Cunxu opted not to enter the treasure vault and instead wandered around Tongdu to see if he could find more cursed individuals.
He found fourteen individuals who were cursed.
Li Cunxu released all the remaining two Destiny Spiders from the little white spider to monitor the cursed individuals.
The little white spider’s Law of Causality broke through to the mid-tier, and the skills bound by the law also grew stronger. Now, it can release two more Destiny Spiders, totaling four, including the original two.
With the little white spider’s Destiny Spiders tracking and monitoring, Li Cunxu was free again.
"What to do next?"
Li Cunxu suddenly glanced at the large screen on the tall building, which was broadcasting the Tongdu Alliance’s bounty task: ’Clean up Glowing Jellyfish.’
The second city built along the coast by Tongdu encountered a huge problem, as the waters around the city were flooded with so many glowing jellyfish that it became a catastrophe.
They blocked the second city’s outbound routes, preventing ships from leaving the city’s port.
Additionally, they exterminated the local sea pets, disrupting the marine ecosystem around the city.
The Tongdu Alliance was severely understaffed and now urgently needed help to clear out the glowing jellyfish.
Thus, Li Cunxu returned to the seaside, using Life-Burning Demon Fire to burn the glowing jellyfish swarm and collect Life-Burning Demon Blood.
A month later.
Observing the deep blue sea turning into a luminescent blue at night, as if a huge amount of fluorescent dye had been poured into it, Li Cunxu couldn’t help but lament the harshness of the Evil God Sect’s actions.
All these glowing jellyfish were demonic beasts, so the troublemakers this time, undoubtedly, were the Evil God Sect.
After death, the glowing jellyfish quickly release their luminous toxins into the sea, staining this marine region with the toxins released from so many glowing jellyfish deaths.
This marine area suffers from permanent pollution; it can’t be purified in two or three centuries.
Moreover, an ocean filled with luminescent toxins is highly conducive to the growth and reproduction of the glowing jellyfish. Therefore, if the Tongdu Alliance doesn’t want the massive swarm of glowing jellyfish to revive, they must monitor the ocean continually and periodically clear the jellyfish to prevent their resurgence.
This malicious strategy undermined the marine resource areas near the second city and also occupied the future resources of the Tongdu Alliance.
The little white spider reported: "Master-jang, through the surveillance of four Destiny Spiders, the secret behind the evil dragon curse has been roughly uncovered.
The faction that released the evil dragon curse in Tongdu was the Dragon Worship Sect, and their purpose in randomly spreading the curse was to plant enforcers within the alliance."
Li Cunxu was surprised: "Evil dragon curse? Enforcers?"
The little white spider nodded, "Yes, the evil dragon curse causes people to turn into uncontrollable evil dragons, but the Dragon Worship Sect possesses a special pill, the Dragon Suppression Pill. This pill can temporarily suppress the evil dragon curse, preventing it from taking effect; however, it must be taken continuously.
For those afflicted with the nearly incurable evil dragon curse, the Dragon Suppression Pill is the only life-saving medicine.
Therefore, the cursed individuals inevitably depend on the Dragon Worship Sect and can only walk a dark path.
Moreover, the Dragon Worship Sect is clever and highly skilled at winning hearts. They don’t exploit the recipients by forcing labor for the Dragon Suppression Pill; instead, they provide it for free.
They offer the Dragon Suppression Pills without charge to help the cursed individuals suppress the evil dragon curse, saving their lives, while secretly supporting them with resources to rise within the alliance’s hierarchy.
Consequently, over the years, the Dragon Worship Sect controlled many people with this strategy, leading to high loyalty from the cursed individuals towards the sect.
This plan has been in execution for over a decade, and now even the top ten universities within the alliance have enforcers planted by the Dragon Worship Sect."
