Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 493 - 478: The Mockery of Fate

Getting lost in the Fog Sea is unavoidable.

Even the local fog beasts that live in the Fog Sea are lost all day long, so they are nomadic by nature.

The gray-white waves of fog move slowly like floating islands, the wind gently brushing past as layers of mist tumble over each other.

Li Cunxu took a deep breath, dove in, and his figure was instantly swallowed by the gray fog.

Upon entering the Fog Sea, Li Cunxu didn’t immediately use the Red Luck Gourd to make a wish. He wanted to first explore it with Xiaoruan and see if they could get lucky and find the Hundred-swallowing Clam.

The Fog-swallowing Clam is a shell-type pet beast that can break through to the Venerable King level once mature. This fog beast is quite unique, with all its attributes focused on defense, and despite being a Venerable King, it has no combat capability.

The Hundred-swallowing Clam is a mutant among Fog-swallowing Clams, and its pearls can grant Xiaoruan an additional ordinary level digestion talent.

Li Cunxu’s attempt to get lucky wasn’t entirely unfounded. The old president mentioned that the mysterious Destiny Emperor had lent Xiaoruan some luck, and Li Cunxu wanted to see if he could trigger the borrowing mechanism.

Obtaining the digestion talent, and then evolving the ordinary level [Digestion] to the legendary level [Devour All], and then comprehending the Devouring Law with this talent, would greatly accelerate Xiaoruan’s growth.

So, obtaining the Hundred-Devouring Pearl would aid Xiaoruan’s growth, and would the borrowed luck help Xiaoruan find the Hundred-swallowing Clam?

This is worth a try.

If the borrowed luck helps Xiaoruan find the Hundred-Devouring Pearl, then Li Cunxu can use the Red Luck Gourd to make a wish and then leave the Fog Sea.

In the Fog Sea, the visibility was only ten meters.

Li Cunxu’s Spiritual Power could only extend to one hundred thirty meters; beyond this distance, the extended Spiritual Power would disconnect.

The strangeness of the Fog Sea is due to the fall of two God of Mist here.

One was the Fog Dragon God from the Dragon Race era, and the other was the Fog God from the Age of Giants. Coincidentally, both fell here, forming such an extraordinary place.

Thump thump thump~

The sound of a heartbeat nearby caught Li Cunxu’s attention.

"Is it the heartbeat of a Fog Giant?"

Without seeing the newcomer, Li Cunxu made a judgment.

The heart of a giant is incredibly large, and thus their heartbeat is very loud. Coupled with the individual’s immense strength, a giant’s heartbeat is also known as the ’drum of danger approaching’.

As for why he determined it was a Fog Giant?

There are at most two types of fog beasts in the Fog Sea: Fog Giants and Fog Dragons.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Li Cunxu, without seeing the Fog Giant, caught sight of a fog spear cutting through the heavy mist, flying towards him.

As a local fog beast, the Fog Giant had a slight advantage, like being able to see much farther than Li Cunxu.

With the fog spear flying at him, Li Cunxu didn’t let Xiaoruan handle it.

The environment of the Fog Sea wasn’t suitable for pet beasts to battle in, as during the fight, there was a possibility of getting separated from the pet beast.

The Fog Sea would attenuate the connection between Beast Masters and their pet beasts over distance.

If Xiaoruan left by thirty meters, Li Cunxu could barely sense her through their bond.

Li Cunxu transformed into the Immortal Star Dragon, and the fog spear struck the incredibly hard dragon scales.

Lowering his dragon head to glance at the dragon scales on his chest that didn’t even have a scratch, Li Cunxu noted this was a spear from a Venerable King level Fog Giant.

"Not even itchy; this defensive capability is truly monstrous."

"With the Immortal Star Dragon’s insane defense, plus the Mechanical Great Wall’s defense field, who can take me down now?!"

Proceeding with caution, Li Cunxu engaged the defense field and charged in the direction the fog spear had come from.

Three hundred meters away, he collided with the Fog Giant and began grappling with it.

Such high-level combat highlighted Li Cunxu’s severe lack of battle experience, and he wasn’t very accustomed to fighting in dragon form.

Li Cunxu fell to a disadvantage, but he wasn’t harmed as his defenses were overwhelmingly strong.

The Fog Giant struck at Li Cunxu, yet Li Cunxu felt nothing at all.

The battle raged on for ten hours. The intense commotion of the fight attracted fog beasts from the Fog Sea.

Four Fog Giants, two Fog Dragons, a Great Mist Celestial Whale, and a Fog Octopus.

These were all drawn in subsequently.

Gradually, the fog beasts realized they couldn’t harm Li Cunxu at all and fled.

However, they could escape because Li Cunxu hadn’t used any skills. If he had, at least half wouldn’t have managed to get away.

"What a thrill."

Li Cunxu reveled in the tactile satisfaction of the battle, even his dragon tail slapping the ground unconsciously.

During the fight, somehow, they ended up at the Fog Sea’s seabed.

The seabed of the Fog Sea was indistinguishable from land, except for the many fog beast remnants, including gigantic dragon bones and giant bones soaring from the ground, an awe-inspiring sight.

Feeling his tail hit a hard object, Li Cunxu turned around joyously, "It’s a clam."

"But, not a Hundred-swallowing Clam, it’s a Fog-swallowing Clam."

The pearl it nurtures is a Fog-Devouring Pearl, which can be used as a tool with the ability to swallow and expel mist, also containing the Fog Law for Xiaoruan to absorb.

When struck by the dragon tail, the Fog-swallowing Clam shut tightly like a sensitive plant.

Li Cunxu gripped the gaps with both dragon claws, struggling to open a palm-wide crack to forcefully extract the fist-sized Fog-Devouring Pearl with Spiritual Power.

When taking a Fog-Devouring Pearl, never use hands; using hands will cause the Fog-swallowing Clam to suddenly exert force, clamping on your hand tightly.

If caught, you’d either have to find a way to pry it open again or lose a hand.

After traversing the seabed of the Fog Sea for over half a month, Li Cunxu grew increasingly adept at fighting using the Immortal Star Dragon’s dragon body.

"If the Hundred-Devouring Pearl isn’t found in another month, I’ll use the Red Luck Gourd!"

While pondering, speeding forward, and looking around, Li Cunxu was in a collision, leaving the other flipped over while he was unharmed.

Looking at the other side, it was a ten meters high, forty meters long turtle.

It was the Misunderstood Turtle.

Li Cunxu was captivated by it.

Not because of the turtle shell that could transport people away but because of the enormous clam on its shell.

Fog-swallowing Clams are gray, but this clam was white.

"Hundred-swallowing Clam?"

Before Li Cunxu could confirm, the Misunderstood Turtle swiftly got up and darted away.

Unlike turtle-type pet beasts, the Misunderstood Turtle had lightning-fast speed, its short legs moving like they were electric motors.

Seeing the Misunderstood Turtle about to escape, Li Cunxu grew anxious.

After all, if the Misunderstood Turtle ran out of sight within the Fog Sea, Li Cunxu would completely lose it and finding it again would be hard.

"Leave the clam behind."

Flapping his wings, Li Cunxu accelerated in a straight line at high speed, aiming for the Misunderstood Turtle.

Due to the excessive speed, he collided with the Misunderstood Turtle again.

Watching the turtle shell patterns start to glow, Li Cunxu thought to himself, "Not good."

This collision killed the Misunderstood Turtle.

Misunderstood Turtles are the opposite of turtle-type pet beasts, which are slow and defensive, whereas the Misunderstood Turtle is fast and fragile.

The Immortal Star Dragon of Venerable King nine, colliding with the Venerable King three Misunderstood Turtle, would certainly result in its death.
