After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Lubricating Mucus

 “I'll teach you how to identify the traces of monsters first.”

"Before I teach you, I need to tell you that when you are going to track monsters, the first thing you need to realize is that they are not evenly distributed throughout the wild. They tend to be where they can get food and water sources. and move between their sites. Water, light, and food, no living thing can do without these three elements.”

 Zhao Liang taught very carefully.

“After determining the approximate range, we can distinguish them based on footprints, feces, signs of eating grass and leaves, and hair and scales left in resting and sleeping areas.”

"In addition to such obvious signals, there are also more subtle clues such as the smell lingering in the air, the heat that has existed, and the wind that has been breathed. But these latter ones have little to do with us beast masters. Some special masters The beast will master this ability, for example, your beast master has a saltwater crocodile, and the saltwater crocodile has a sense of smell for the smell of blood, good eyesight, and a keen sense of fluctuations in the water."

“When we find the traces of the target we need to track, we can rely on the sharp five senses of the beast to help us further track the prey.”

 Chen Xing thought thoughtfully, this statement is a bit like a hunter going up the mountain with a hound.

 After finding the target's footprints or feces, let the hound follow the scent.

“Actually, I think Zecheng Secret Realm is not very reasonable. There are no snakes or crocodiles in such a large swamp.”

 “Now there is.”

 “That's right, let me teach you how to hunt.”

"There are three types of fish in the secret realm, the red silk fish, the star-spotted loach, and the thorn crown fish. The thorn crown fish generally live in shallow water areas, and with the crowns on their heads disguised as dead branches, they are generally more common in shallow water areas or indoors. Red silk fish Fish and star-spotted loaches like deeper water. They are all carnivorous fish. The common method is to use fish hooks, and another method is to use bait to seduce them." Zhao Liang took out two bags from the backpack behind him as he spoke.

Chen Xing took it, which contained red muddy fishing bait and eight large red characters - Fangcun Brand Red Silk Fish Bait.

Chen Xing couldn't help but look at the other bag.

Zhao Liang grinned and showed the front packaging bag, "Yes, it is also the bait for star-spotted loach."

 Fangcun brand star-spotted loach bait.

 Chen Xing was stunned. As expected, high-end hunters often use the simplest and crudest methods.

"Isn't this a bit..." Zhou Hao struggled for a long time, not knowing how to describe it.

"Technology changes life. If there is a simple method, of course use simple methods." Zhao Liang spread his hands, "If there is technology, of course we should use technology. We are not primitive people. We still use wireless walkie-talkies in foreign lands. We can't be in the flames of war and flying. Let the dove pass on the message."

"If you can use technology, of course you should use technology. The main reason is that the characteristics of the red silk fish and the star-spotted loach are not obvious, and they are monsters in the water. They have no footprints or smells. Unless you have the skills to track the beasts, you can still be honest. Use technology. People's thinking must be flexible and not rigid.”

As he spoke, Zhao Liang grabbed a large handful of red silk fish bait from the bag and sprinkled it toward the water not far away.

 Scattered bait fell into the water.

After a while, Zhao Liang suddenly grabbed another handful and threw it down.

The water surface was still calm. Zhao Liang looked back at Chen Xing, "You crocodile is in the water, and the red silk fish doesn't dare to come over."

 “Wait a minute, I'll change the bait.”

After speaking, Zhao Liang grabbed another handful of star-spotted loach bait and threw it away.

After a while, Taotie let out a low roar in the water, telling Chen Xing that a piece of food was approaching it quickly.

　　Bang!

The water surface exploded, and Taotie's huge body flashed out of the water, and started fighting with the approaching star-spotted loach. During the fight, the body of the star-spotted loach is also exposed from the water. There are four pairs of whiskers on the face, the body is slender, the mouth is small and the eyes are small. The back of the body is gray-black with small white spots on it.

【Skill】

Talent Skill: Lubricating Mucus (Mastery)

 Chen Xing was a little surprised that this was actually a monster that had awakened its innate skills.

  There are statistics that show that for wild monsters and beast masters, the combined probability of awakening talent skills and passive skills is about 1%.

 'This star-spotted loach is actually an outstanding individual who has awakened his innate skills, but the upper limit of his racial energy level is not high. ' Chen Xing looked thoughtfully at the star-spotted loach fighting with Taotie.

Zhao Liang noticed Chen Xing's expression and thought that Chen Xing was wondering why the red silk fish could not be attracted, but instead attracted the star-spotted loach.

Zhao Liang said: "Because the red silk fish has good eyesight, it must have dared not come over when it saw that you are such a big beast. The star-spotted loach has poor eyesight, and it rushed over when it smelled the bait."

“You are indeed reckless. Brother Zhao, is a monster like the Star-spotted Loach worth anything?”

 Chen Xing made an insinuation.

"It's worth a little money, but not much." Zhao Liang said with a smile, "Many big hotels outside are charging it."

“.No one accepts it as a beast?”

Zhao Liang was stunned and laughed, "Who would accept this thing as a beast? The market for beast control is so big now. An N19 monster has no competitiveness at all. It is also a purely aquatic monster. It will stop eating as soon as it lands on land. You If you really want to take a few monsters out, I recommend the Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab, which has the highest purchase price of the same level.

The star-spotted loach has one advantage. It tastes good and is better than the red silk fish, especially when stewed in soup. When I get out, I'll take you to a store. That store's signature star-spotted loach soup is amazing. "

 “What if the passive skill is awakened? Is the loach with the passive skill worth awakening?”

“That's worth a bit. The loach's passive skill is to dispel cold. After eating it, it can aphrodisiac. An adult star-spotted loach with its passive skill awakened costs about 20,000 yuan.” Brother Zhao gave an expression that every man would understand.

"But really speaking, the star-spotted loaches that have awakened their innate skills are the most valuable. Some pharmaceutical companies outside specialize in purchasing star-spotted loaches that have awakened their innate skills. Ordinary star-spotted loaches are only worth five thousand each, while those with awakened innate skills are only worth 5,000. It can be sold for 100,000.”

Wang Bing continued, “I know this.”

Seeing several people looking over, Wang Bing continued: "My family is in the pharmaceutical business. The star-spotted loach's innate skill is called lubricating mucus. It can generate a layer of mucus on the surface of the body. This mucus has a certain defensive effect. After research by some pharmaceutical companies, It was found that this mucus is colorless and odorless, harmless to the skin, and mainly has some shock and impact resistance, so it is specially used for those large animals."

A few people looked shocked, including Zhao Liang. He only knew that someone had collected the star-spotted loach that had awakened its talent, but this was the first time he heard about what it was used for.

 “Is this for controlling animals?” Zhou Hao looked in disbelief.

Wang Bing coughed and said, "Some pharmaceutical companies will privately cross breed tamers of different races to see if they can breed new cost-effective breeds. Many pet dogs were bred this way in the past, and many tamers have quite different body sizes. This is to prevent the female animal from being injured."
