Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 261 - 175: Earth Core World, Seven-colored Forest (3000 words)
Chapter 261: Chapter 175: Earth Core World, Seven-colored Forest (3000 words)
Then, Qin Shou opened the gene repository and searched for the monster genes that the "Workers" had prepared for him over the past period.
Sitting at home, monster genes fall from the sky.
No wonder so many people strive their entire lives just to become the boss.
However, who knew that what he saw would leave him utterly shocked?
[Monkey-faced Spider, Earth Green Bull Python, Deep Sea Giant Demon, Deep Sea Giant Crab, Ogre Worm, Double-bladed Amber Mantis, Demon Hunting Conch, Mongolian Giant Worm, Komodo Dragon, Jungle Giant Elephant, Destructive Ant-eater, Giant Tree Sloth...]
Aside from monster genes, the repository also contained many human genes.
After all, human warfare sometimes has nothing to do with monsters.
Then, Qin Shou checked the death reports of the synthetic monsters and discovered that over ten had died!
No wonder the number of synthesis points coming in recently had plummeted.
About half of the casualties were synthetic monsters, while the other half were parasitic monsters created using Spine-eating Gu, essentially battle armors.
This won’t do. If this continues, the Workers will decrease, and who will earn synthesis points for him?
After some thought, Qin Shou decided that he would stop slacking off once he returned.
As a Beast Breeding Improvement Master, he must fully dedicate himself to his clients.
Additionally, he needed to prepare more "tombs" for different synthesized belts, awaiting destined users.
But for now, he needed to focus on the task at hand.
He swiped his fingers across the interface, creating a virtual model of the Monkey-faced Spider.
[Monkey-faced Spider] + [Demon Hunting Conch] + [Deep Sea Giant Demon] + [Second-level Exoskeleton Device] + [Second-level Frozen Energy Weapon]
After some tweaking, a grotesque and peculiar spider monster appeared on the interface.
The head resembled an octopus, with soft, sinister tentacles transformed into mouth-like organs. Its body bore a massive, resilient shell akin to a conch. Its six colossal, thin spider legs were covered in jagged spikes, with spear-like sharp tips that gleamed menacingly.

Qin Shou nodded in mild contemplation before continuing.
[Giant Tree Sloth] + [Jungle Giant Elephant] + [Level 2 Fur Enhancement] + [Level 2 Claw and Teeth Enhancement]
The sloth and elephant’s forms merged, with the forelimbs growing longer while the hind legs shrank.
The trunk was removed, and the tusks reshaped into mammoth-like behemoths. The spine rose and hardened into rocky ridges.

Name: Titan Giant Beast, Behemoth!

Qin Shou swiped his fingers again, proceeding with more synthesis.
[Heavenly Eye Divine Race (multiple)] + [Second-level Energy Absorption and Transformation Device] + [Level 2 Eye Enhancement] + [Space Stone]
The resulting figure had a humanoid single-eyed appearance, with its arms morphing into tentacles.
Its enhanced eye was gigantic, and its body was covered with clusters of eerie eyes. With the Space Stone integrated, it could absorb enemies into its internal space, where the energy absorption device could siphon their attacks and turn them into power, akin to the Flower God Space effect.

Ultraman Monster Series +1.
After synthesizing four consecutive monsters, Qin Shou paused to catch his breath before moving on to enhancing the greedy snake and other synthetic monsters.
Typically, as long as beasts obtained sufficient energy, their growth speed exceeded that of Beast Tamers by a significant margin.
Of course, this only applied if their potential was adequate.
Exceptionally powerful monsters, such as Titan Giant Beasts, were treated differently.
Therefore, before Beast Tamers upgraded their rank, they would deliberately suppress their beasts’ growth, waiting until after advancement to pour resources into them for rapid upgrades.
This process was neither too fast nor too slow.
With enough synthesis points available, Qin Shou never hesitated to enhance his synthetic monsters fully.
Having completed all this, a significant chunk of his synthesis points was gone, and the night passed into early dawn.
Qin Shou stood, tidied himself, and left his quarters, heading toward the square’s transmission array.
"Buzz..."
Space shimmered, and a white light gradually faded. Qin Shou returned to West City and began walking toward Beast Breeding High School.
This past month, Yu Shusheng had sent people to investigate the Space Gate discovered within West City’s underground fault. There must have been noteworthy findings.
Before long, Qin Shou arrived at Yu Shusheng’s office.
"Principal."
"Oh? Qin Shou, what brings you here?"
"I’ve taken the mission to enter the Nian Beast Space, so I came by..."
Before Qin Shou could finish his sentence, Yu Shusheng suddenly shot up. "What?! You little rascal... do you even know how dangerous it is in there?"
"Hehe, I don’t know, that’s why I came to consult with you, Principal."
Seeing Qin Shou’s mischievous grin, Yu Shusheng shook his head in exasperation.
"I’m not entirely sure what lies within the Nian Beast Space. Several of those I sent didn’t make it back.
And it’s not just West City; other places have faced the same scenario."
Qin Shou pressed on, "Are you saying there’s absolutely no intel on it?"
"Well... we do have a little."
"Then let me hear it." Qin Shou looked intrigued.
...
Moments later, Qin Shou left the principal’s office and, under the guidance of his "brilliant" class advisor, reached West City’s underground fault.
"Qin Shou, that’s the Space Gate."
The class advisor pointed to the Space Gate draped in red cloth not far away, smiling kindly—nothing like the fierce, scolding teacher of yore.
Seeing this smile, Qin Shou couldn’t help but sigh at the rapid passage of time...
Wait, it had only been about a year and a half.
In less than two years, the class advisor remained the same "Vajra Three-star," as harmless as ever.
But Qin Shou was no longer the bullied boy who trembled under his teacher’s tirades.
Pushing aside stray thoughts, Qin Shou suppressed certain "inappropriate" impulses, thanked his teacher, and crossed the guard checkpoint to approach the Space Gate.
Lifting the red cloth, Qin Shou triggered a single Gold-eating Insect to fly through the Space Gate.
A moment later, the insect returned, and only then did Qin Shou don a red cape and step boldly through the gate.
The surrounding guards, watching, exchanged knowing nods.
"See? As expected of the West City Light—cautious and methodical—no wonder he’s the top talent from Beast Cultivation Main City."
"Yeah, impressive. But where can we get one of those golden insect beasts?"
"..."
...
Upon stepping through the Space Gate, a brief wave of dizziness hit Qin Shou before quickly subsiding.
Looking ahead, darkness engulfed his vision. Qin Shou released a wave of Gold-eating Insects to illuminate the surroundings.
Just as Yu Shusheng had said, this was the lair of Nian Beasts—a network of sprawling underground tunnels.
As he walked forward, Qin Shou pulled out a device crafted by Big Big Wolf and started scanning.
The oxygen levels in the air were normal, and no unusual substances were detected.
No peculiar magnetic fields either...
"Nian..."
As he reached a fork in the tunnel, several eerie roars echoed, followed by a gust of ominous wind charging at him from the side. freewebnøvel_com
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
Countless Gold-eating Insects gathered above Qin Shou, lighting the tunnel. The moment the Nian Beasts appeared, the insects surged, transforming into a golden mist that enveloped the monsters.
Ignoring their cries and struggles, Qin Shou continued walking forward.
Before long, yet another wave of Nian Beasts attacked him, some among them powerful Horror Nine-star entities.
Retrieving the scanning device, Qin Shou pulled out a "retro" boombox, slinging it onto his shoulder.
Boomboxes always set the right vibe!
"Whistle~ Bang!"
Instantly, the sound of fireworks ignited and exploded through the tunnel.
"Nian..."
Chaos erupted among the Nian Beasts, scattering them as they fled in terror.
A wicked grin spread across Qin Shou’s face—an excellent grinding spot!
But there was no rush; he’d come back to this gaming ground another day.
This time, his mission was to gather data on underground creatures; the Nian Beasts had already been well-documented and wouldn’t add value to his logs.
According to the mission details, the more unique and undiscovered the collected monster data, the higher the evaluation score.
A high evaluation would reduce the number of tasks required for the next assessment and grant additional rewards.
Recording previously unknown monster data would earn points, which could be exchanged for items like Cosmic Meteorite Gold, Earth Core Energy Crystals, mecha crafting materials, and Beast Breeding Genes.
Among all of those, Qin Shou highly valued Cosmic Meteorite Gold.
The more, the better.
He summoned his waist-mounted belt screen, pulling out a retro flip phone and casually inserting it onto the holder.
"Buzz..."
Scarlet photonic blood spread across Qin Shou’s body, forming a battle armor.
"Let’s go!"
Qin Shou leapt atop the swarm of Gold-eating Insects, carrying the boombox and driving off the Nian Beasts as he sped toward the end of the tunnel.
Before long, the insect swarm exited the Nian Beast lair, and Qin Shou’s vision brightened, revealing a stunning sight of vibrant, colorful light.
Stretching before him was a forest teeming with brilliantly glowing plants, radiating a dazzling spectrum of hues.
Towering trees over a hundred meters in height were scattered throughout, each exhibiting leaves of different colors.
The dense and abundant seven-colored canopy seemed to embrace the land below as if attempting to wrap the entire world in its arms.
The breathtaking spectacle left Qin Shou momentarily stunned, but he quickly snapped back to attention, his expression growing vigilant.
Behind this façade of beauty lurked countless hidden dangers and skeletons of the dead.
It was just as Zhang Wuji’s mother said—the more beautiful something is, the more deceptive it often is.
The majority of Yu Shusheng’s dispatched team had been captivated by this very illusion, only to perish mysteriously, many without leaving behind intact remains.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Shou summoned Rein Jia’er and Kazek, who dashed out of the Space Gate and swiftly became invisible.
"Tap, tap..."
The Seven-colored Forest canopy trembled as Kazek leapt onto it, transmitting video footage to Qin Shou’s communicator.
The endless expanse of the Seven-colored Forest stretched into the distance. The sky overhead was a pale blue, devoid of any sun or clouds.
Beyond some faintly visible flying monsters and towering trees, nothing else stood out in the landscape.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Qin Shou muttered, "So this is the Earth’s Core World?"
Placing the boombox into his system space for safekeeping, Qin Shou stepped onto the vibrant, multicolored grasslands.
As he walked, his gaze roamed curiously over the unfamiliar and extraordinary flowers and plants.
"Sizzle..."
Suddenly, a small Gold-eating Insect landed on a seven-colored petal, devouring it in an instant.
"Flap, flap..."
Out of nowhere, a swarm of colorful moths burst from the flower clusters, scattering shimmering powder as they furiously charged at the Gold-eating Insects.
However, Qin Shou remained calm, as if their appearance was entirely expected.
"Roar..."
The Space Gate opened wide again, and with a sound resembling a dragon’s roar, a flame-beast stepped through the gate, soaring into the air and confronting the moth swarm.
"Tap, tap... Tap, tap..."
In midair, the flame-beast’s steps emitted red, rippling waves, descending like an infernal divine creature intent on burning away all the world’s sins...
