Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!.

Chapter 416 The Butterfly Forest
After some searching, Li Cunxu understood why so many people wanted to contract and devour slimes.

It all started when Mengjun, one of the Ten Lords, posted a video.

Meng Jun is the strongest monarch-level being, without exception.

In the game, Meng Jun of the Ten Lords once fought against the Mechanical Emperor of the Ten Emperors, and the battle ended in a draw.

This is just one of her many achievements; she has also fought against two other Ten Emperors, and both battles ended in a draw.

Mengjun is the only monarch among the ten who has opened a social media account.

As a result, half the world's population pays attention to her, not only because of her great strength, but also because of her cute and lovable appearance.

Mengjun was cursed by the Four Gods and irreversibly transformed into an adorable little girl.

This curse is not just as simple as it affects a little girl; it also greatly restricts Meng Jun's personal strength, meaning that even with her strength limited, she was unable to fight to a draw against a master at the level of the Mechanical Emperor.

Furthermore, it is as if Mengjun will never be able to break through to the Emperor level.

In the video, Mengjun showed everyone her newly contracted pet.

And the new contracted pet is none other than a slime-devouring creature.

If Mengjun thinks a pet is good, how bad can it be?

This has led many people to want to contract the same slime as Mengjun.

However, due to the extremely limited quantity of Devour Slime available for purchase, there simply weren't enough to go around.

Therefore, many people called on Li Cunxu to lift the purchase restrictions.

"Lifting purchase restrictions? Not advisable."

Li Cunxu shook his head.

Consuming slimes is too much; to ensure long-term development, their numbers must be controlled.

To this end, Li Cunxu also instructed Xiao Ruan to tell each Devouring Slime that it was not allowed to split into smaller Devouring Slimes after it was sold.

The devouring of slimes leads to their proliferation and overpopulation. If too many slimes are devoured, there is a possibility that the world will be consumed, and this possibility will trigger the world's will's defense mechanism.

The World Will's defense mechanism is something that even the Four Gods would find difficult to withstand head-on. In the future, we don't want a targeted natural disaster to wipe out the entire Devouring Slime race.

This is not Li Cunxu being overly pessimistic, but rather based on past experience.

Similar examples have occurred throughout history.

Star-devouring beasts possess the ability to devour stars, and each adult has the combat power of an emperor.

As a result, the Star Devourer proliferated, triggering the World Will's defense mechanism.

The entire massive Star-Devouring Beast clan vanished in the blink of an eye.

"However, this matter has caused quite a stir, so it wouldn't be right not to open up some spots," Li Cunxu murmured.

Ten slots for devouring slimes were released.

The week-long purchase limit of ten items has now increased to twenty.

Li Cunxu said to his counselor, "Teacher, don't try to take it. I'll give you one, but don't tell anyone."

After saying goodbye to his counselor, Li Cunxu returned to his residence.

After walking a few steps, I encountered some younger students who were asking me about devouring slimes.

Junior student: "Senior Cunxu, many people online are begging us to relax the purchase limit."

Junior: "Senior Cunxu, I don't want to fight for it. Can I buy it directly from you? I'll pay ten times the price."

The question from one or two younger students attracted the attention of the surrounding students, and a large group of people gathered around.

Li Cunxu promised, "I will further increase the purchase limit, and I will also provide ten more on the campus network. Everyone is welcome to grab them."

This finally allowed Li Cunxu to escape the entanglement and return to his residence.

After watching the videos for a while, I noticed that even more people were leaving comments on my account.

The reason? Mengjun shared another video of her daily life with Devouring Slimes. From the interactions in the video, it's clear that Mengjun really enjoys Devouring Slimes.

Mengjun's video comment section was flooded by a group of girls.

Which girl could resist a cute and powerful pet?
Many people are calling out that they want to buy a Devouring Slime.

Li Cunxu was willing to call Meng Jun the strongest live-streaming e-commerce host, but he didn't really need her as a host, as he didn't want to sell too many Devouring Slimes.

Li Cunxu thought to himself, "This matter is too hot to handle. We can't stay at school anymore. It's best to hide. Just in time, the tracking dog sent word that they've found the Butterfly Forest, where thousands of God-Eating Butterflies are imprisoned."

Li Cunxu didn't know the exact location of the Butterfly Forest, but he knew that it was roughly in the eastern part of the Wilderness Mountains. So, Li Cunxu entrusted the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Dog to use the aura on the scales of the Godless Heavenly Abyss Serpent to find where the Godless Heavenly Abyss Serpent was in the Wilderness Mountains.

The Godless Abyss Serpent imprisons thousands of God-Devouring Butterflies; wherever the Godless Abyss Serpent is, there must be a Butterfly-Devouring Forest.

Before setting off, Li Cunxu temporarily shut down his research lab.

Ten days later.

Li Cunxu arrived at the eastern part of the Wilderness Mountains by airship.

Looking down from the sky, the Wild Mountains resemble a divine dragon slumbering here.

The Wilderness Mountains are the largest mountain range on the Divine Continent, and are known as the 'backbone of the world'. More than ten imperial beasts, more than ten forbidden zones, and five sealed calamity beasts live here.

Li Cunxu jumped off the airship and reunited with the tracking dog.

Guided by the tracking dog's occasional, unpredictable changes of direction, they avoided the dangerous beasts in the Wild Mountains and arrived directly at the Butterfly-Eating Forest.

The tracking dog suddenly said, "We're almost there."

The deeper you go into the forest, the quieter it becomes, until it becomes eerily quiet.

Li Cunxu suddenly stopped. There was a snake path ahead, and a snake body moving at high speed like a train was blocking the way.

The snake's body was enormous, as big as four heavy trucks.

Looking to either side of the snake's body, you can't see its head in front or its tail behind.

Li Cunxu originally planned to wait for the snake's body to pass before walking over, but after waiting for an hour, he still hadn't seen the snake's tail.

Jiang Lingyun exclaimed, "This snake is so big and long!"

Yes, Li Cunxu brought Jiang Lingyun along again.

With Jiang Lingyun as his lucky star, Li Cunxu hoped this trip would go smoothly.

Furthermore, the Wilderness Mountains are full of treasures, and Jiang Lingyun will find many good things here.

Jiang Lingyun said, "I feel like if I give this snake another half day, its body won't completely move away."

"Then why don't we just step over it?"

The tracking dog, looking at the snake's body which resembled a city wall, seemed eager to try its luck.

"Waiting for ages."

Li Cunxu shook his head. He didn't know much about the Godless Abyss Serpent. He only knew that being touched by its aura would not attract its attack, but he didn't know whether stepping over it would provoke an attack.

To be on the safe side, it's best not to cross that line.

Suddenly, Jiang Lingyun tugged at Li Cunxu's clothes.

"what happened?"

Jiang Lingyun has extraordinary good fortune and can sense some subtle dangers. Li Cunxu looked around warily.

Jiang Lingyun pointed upwards with her slender finger, and Li Cunxu looked up.

I saw golden snake eyes that resembled two blazing suns hanging high in the sky.

The Godless Heavenly Abyss Serpent raised its body like a flying train, hovering high in the air, its enormous head looking down at Li Cunxu.
