After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Ghost-backed Crab with Dancing Scythe

 Chen Xing asked Taotie to catch the star-spotted loach.

The star-spotted loach was beaten up by Taotie Fatty and dragged ashore with its tail bitten.

 The star-spotted loach lying on the floor has its gills open and closed on both sides, and its mouth is wide open, contracting and retracting.

 Two small eyes the size of mung beans are bulging and bloodshot.

Chen Xing heard the star-spotted loach roaring crazily.

 So he scooped some water from the side and poured it on it.

The star-spotted loach's eyes turned and looked at Chen Xing, his small eyes narrowed, "Oh, it feels good."

"Huh? What is this slippery mucus on the surface of the body." Zhou Hao squatted down and stroked the transparent liquid on the surface of the star-spotted loach. It felt cold to the touch, soft and elastic, like some kind of jelly.

But after being in contact between fingers for a long time, it turned into a puddle of water.

 Zhou Hao suddenly reacted, "Is this... the lubricant skill of Star-spotted Loach?"

 “Lubricating mucus skill.” Wang Bing corrected.

Zhou Hao was puzzled, "Okay, but can't your medicine produce lubricants manually? The cost of artificial lubricants should not be expensive."

"You have to consider the cost. The lubricating mucus produced by this star-spotted loach has a shock-proof effect and is a special-grade material. It can produce more than 50 liters of lubricating mucus in one skill. As long as you give it some food, it is very labor-intensive. It's of high quality and low price.” Wang Bing sighed.

“Its lubricating mucus has no toxins and is a good raw material. It is said that the ingredient list is relatively clean, it is edible grade, and it can be used for other purposes.”

 Zhou Hao was thoughtful.

Zhao Liang said: "You are lucky. The star-spotted loach that has awakened its talent skill is a small top quality. You can go to the safe zone to sell it. There is a store in the safe zone that specially collects this, but you need to sign an agreement. Each of you can only go to the safe zone. If you take three beast masters out of the secret realm, this star-spotted loach will take up one of your spots."

 Chen Xing understands.

 Then Zhao Liang took Chen Xing and the others to the nearest safe zone and took action on the captured star-spotted loach.

Signed an agreement in the presence of security zone officials, proving that the beast was captured by him and sold to Tianlan Pharmaceutical.

 One hundred thousand yuan was obtained in this way.

 Enough for Taotie to eat intermediate pet food for six days.

As Taotie increases in size, its appetite is also growing. An intermediate pet needs to eat thirty kilograms of food to satisfy its appetite.

  But the effect of intermediate pet food is also very obvious. After the body length exceeds five and a half meters, it can still maintain an average body growth of 23 cm per day and an energy level growth of 0.5 at this stage.

 It is not an exaggeration to say that I am flying upward on a rocket.

This kind of progress only requires 15,000 yuan a day. If you spend money to make such progress, people are willing to spend more than 20,000 yuan, let alone 20,000 yuan.

 Seeing Chen Xing making money, Zhou Hao and Wang Bing were a little envious.

 The main reason was not that he was envious of the money, but that Chen Xing could catch rare monsters.

Wouldn't it be a great way to brag if you could post it on WeChat Moments?

The two of them also expected to catch a monster with extraordinary talents. As a result, they spent the whole afternoon looking for a dozen monsters, but they couldn't find any rare ones.

“There's no need to look for it. It can't be that easy. If it's really easy to find, it won't be worth it.” Zhao Liang was holding his backpack. He may not be a teacher with strong teaching ability, but he is definitely a good and responsible teacher.

 I spent the entire afternoon wandering around Zecheng with the three of them.

Perhaps this is the reason why they did not go to the danger zone. At present, Zecheng is not as dangerous as imagined.

 The four of them found a two-story building on a relatively high ground and simply cleaned up the environment. There are three windows on this floor, but the windows have long been removed. Including the stairs leading to the first floor, there are four ways in total.

Perhaps it's because people come here often, and there are obvious signs of cleaning in several places here.

Four people were resting against the wall in a leeward corner of the corner. Zhou Hao took out a few bags of biscuits from his backpack and shared them with them.

“Come, eat something! There's nothing to eat in this secret realm, I'm starving to death.” Zhou Hao forced biscuits and snacks into Chen Xing's arms.

"Thanks."

Zhou Hao tore open the snack bag in his hand, took out the biscuits, put them in his mouth and ate them loudly, "We're all teammates, you're welcome."

 Chen Xing tore open the packaging bag and chewed slowly and carefully. In the open space next to him, Taotie's head was pressed against Chen Xing's arm, with one eye open and the other closed.

 It is difficult for it to fall asleep completely in the wild environment, but it is very happy to be next to its owner.

Taotie doesn't know what a bed is, it only knows that it can rest its big head on its owner.

 The night passed. Perhaps because Zhao Liang's Burning Hunter Bee was taking a nap nearby, no monster came to attack the four single men in the middle of the night.

The sky was dim, and the three of them were woken up by Zhao Liang, "Okay, you had enough rest last night. Today I will take you to experience the danger zone. We will take this route and rest here tonight." Zhao Liang spread out the map and pointed. Go to the deepest safe point on the map.

This safe point and the entrance are in completely opposite directions, one is at the northernmost side and the other is at the southernmost side.

Judging from the route pointed by Zhao Liang, they need to pass through two danger zones.

"You may encounter a dancing sickle ghost crab, or even a blue king snail."         "Before, Lao Kuang told you that more than a thousand people die in the secret realm every year, and more than 80% of them are accidentally killed by the dancing sickle ghost. The poisonous hand of the ghost crab. And he hasn't finished talking. In addition to the number of deaths, more than 10,000 people are disabled by the ghost crab every year. But even if the hand is broken, it is not a big problem. As long as you pick it up as soon as possible, go It is possible to fully recover with treatment.

If the hand is not found, then you will have to spend more money. Regeneration of amputated limbs in the hospital is not cheap. I think it is 63,000 yuan. "

Wang Bing said shyly: "It's not that expensive. It's just a matter of advanced skills. If you need it, you can contact me. There is no charge." Chen Xing's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he glanced at Wang Bing's back.

At noon, the four of them finally arrived at the area where Zhao Liang said the Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab existed. The number of beast masters in this area increased significantly, and the water was significantly deeper. Even many roads were built on rooftops and many houses were submerged in water.

 You can basically see animal handlers standing at the water's edge at regular intervals, and some of them are fishing with lines in their hands.

Some people went into the water wearing waterproof clothing and walked in and out of some flooded houses.

 It seems that these are all here to catch the dancing sickle ghost-backed crabs, and there are more people than crabs.

Zhou Hao couldn't help complaining, "Brother Zhao, you also said that this place is dangerous. If the dancing sickle ghost-backed crab dares to show its head, he will be beaten into a sieve in the next second."

 “I'm scaring you, lest you disrespect the dancing sickle ghost carrying crab.” Zhao Liang said slowly. "But the death toll didn't lie to you. It's true. Dancing crabs like to hide in deep water areas. You have to get into houses to look for traces of them, or use bait to lure them out by fishing."

Chen Xing wondered, "Have the dancing sickle ghost-backed crabs here been caught for so many years yet not been caught and exterminated?"

There are so many people in Zecheng's secret realm who catch the dancing sickle ghost-backed crab, and the area of ​​Zecheng is not very large.

"The official will release the dancing sickle ghost crabs into the water regularly, otherwise they would have been caught long ago." Zhao Liang said and suddenly made a sound. He glanced at the burning hunter bees above his head, made a gesture, and then said hello a few times. People followed him. "follow me."

Several people crossed a single-plank bridge sandwiched between two buildings.

Step on the roof of another tiled house and jump to the balcony of the building behind.

 Less than half a meter below the balcony is the water.

 In the shadow and backlight of the water, a mess of water plants clings to the corner of the wall.

 The Burnt Hunting Bee stayed above the water and looked quietly at the water below.

 “Is it down there?” Wang Bing whispered.

“Yes, you're here, why don't you get the ticket money back? Look, I'll only perform once.” Zhao Liang grinned at the three of them, and the bald head on his head sparkled in the sun.

 The burnt hunter bee above the water surface moved, and the fine hairs on the surface of its body gradually became hot, hot, and glowing!

Looking from a distance, it looks like it's wrapped in a layer of fiery red bread crumbs.

The bee's mouth opened, and a beam of red flame spurted out from its mouth!

 The water surface evaporated, and thick white mist emerged. The area burned by the flames collapsed, and the surrounding water replenishment rate could not keep up with the evaporation rate.

The three of them couldn't help but cover their cheeks as the scalding heat wave hit their faces from a distance of more than ten meters.

At the same time, when releasing the large fire breath, the steel needle on the tail of the Burning Hunter Bee was raised, glowing with cold light.

 The next second, the steel needle emerged from its tail.

　　It was like a bullet fired from a sniper rifle was instantly submerged in the water.

The Burning Hunter Bee stopped breathing fire and floated in the air again.

“Which of you beast masters should go into the water and fish out the ghost-backed crabs with dancing sickles?”

  “Glutetton.”

 Chen Xing asked Taotie to go down.

Taotie, who was scared back ten meters by the big fire just now, only showed a pair of eyes on the surface of the water. After receiving the order, he quickly dived into the water.

 A moment later, a large blue crab with a diameter of nearly two meters was lifted out of the water.

The big cyan crab has already burped, and in the center of its vest, the steel needle from the tail of the Burning Hunter Bee is firmly inserted into it.

The dark blue back shell, which looked extremely hard, was dented, and spiderweb-like cracks spread around the center of the impact point of the steel needle.

The fatal injury on the body of the Dancing Scythe Ghost Back Crab is this steel needle.

“How about it, handsome or not, I got a dancing sickle ghost carrying crab worth 150,000 yuan.” Zhao Liang said confidently.

Zhou Hao said quietly: "Brother Zhao, it was not harmed by the big fire?"

 “Just be handsome and that's it, don't worry about these details.”

Zhao Liang sighed, Xiao Zhou was still too young to understand.

 Chen Xing's focus is in another direction.

“Brother Zhao, is the body of the dancing sickle ghost-backed crab only worth 150,000?”

Zhao Liang laughed and said, "It's just a corpse. The greatest value is the meat on it. The meat yield rate of crabs is not high. This dancing sickle ghost back crab is estimated to yield about one hundred kilograms of meat. In other words, the monster cub is worth For a little money, after all, you can sign a contract to become a beast tamer. It is difficult to tame an adult individual, and even if it is tamed, it will not be obedient from a young age."

Zhou Hao agreed, "Indeed, my family has three dogs. They were all brought back as puppies. They are affectionate only when they were raised since childhood."

　　Too sleepy, finish writing and call it a day. If there are any typos, I will correct them tomorrow when I wake up.
