Beast Tamer: The evolution path I made up has come true!

Suddenly, a weak current shot out from the Thunder Vine below, bounced up from the gap, and struck Number Eighteen's body segment.

"grumble!"

Number 18 was jolted by the electric shock, and his elongated body suddenly shrank back, returning to its original shape.

At the same time, the traction device made a hissing sound, and the leaves that were not far away from it were pushed back a distance.

Seeing this scene, Number Eighteen's eyes widened to the size of sesame seeds, and the insect froze on the spot.

Upon seeing this, the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

[Hahaha, look at Number 18's incredulous little eyes.]

[Number 18: Where's my leaf? How come it's so far away after I got an electric shock?]

[Su Mo: Surprised? Unexpected?]

This machine is absolutely ingenious; I have no idea what Su Mo was thinking.

[Su Mo: It's just basic stuff.]

Chapter 72 The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix

For a velvet caterpillar, the cruelest thing in the world is having the leaves of the evergreen tree right in front of it, but being unable to eat them.

Smelling the fresh scent of leaves wafting through the air, Number Eighteen swallowed hard; her intense urge to eat instantly overwhelmed her fear of clicking.

"grumble!"

Number 18 let out a screech, and its body, which had been curled up, stretched out again, crawling along the tracks toward the leaves.

This time, having learned its lesson, Number 18 was clearly more cautious, keeping an eye on the leaves in front of him while also watching the tracks beneath him.

Snapped!

Before the number 18 had taken two steps, the thunder rattle under the tracks started beeping again.

This time, Number 18 was clearly well prepared. Just as the purple lightning was about to strike him, he exerted force at both ends of his body, causing his body to arch upwards like a longbow, thus dodging the lightning strike from the Thunder Vine.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the laboratory showed expressions of utter astonishment.

They originally thought that Qinglong was already excellent enough, but they did not expect that number eighteen was equally remarkable, dodging the electric shock in just one attempt.

"I'm not seeing things, am I...? It was a success on the first try?"

Upon seeing this, He Ya spoke in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Lu Junfeng, who was standing nearby, said, "You're not mistaken, but... I feel like it's just a lucky guess, pure chance."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo said, "Whether it's luck or not, we'll find out after another test."

Upon seeing this, viewers in the live stream flooded the chat with comments like: "Holy crap, he dodged the electric shock!"

This learning ability is simply amazing!

I feel that this number 18 could already form a formidable duo with Qinglong (Azure Dragon) and Fengchu (Phoenix Chick)!

[The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix? Indeed, quite impressive!]

Indeed, I think number 18 is quite talented!

Having successfully avoided the obstacle, the traction device extended forward on its own.

Seeing the leaves getting even closer, Number Eighteen was overjoyed and began to wriggle forward even more vigorously.

And before Number 18 could be happy for long, the Thunder Vine under the tracks attacked again.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Two electric arcs shot out alternately from the gap under the tracks, striking the neck and tail of No. 18 respectively.

However, having learned from her previous success, Number 18 seemed to have unlocked her full potential, her slender body undulating and twisting like ripples in water.

It twisted itself into an S-shaped arc on the tracks, thus avoiding both electric shocks.

"drop!"

"drop!"

With two beeps, the green light on the traction device flashed, and the leaf it was holding was moved forward again.

Witnessing Number 18's smooth and effortless evasion, He Ya and Lu Junfeng couldn't help but gasp.

"This...this learning speed is just too amazing!"

Lu Junfeng's eyes were filled with shock as he said, "You've only suffered one loss, yet you've gone this far?"

He Ya nodded repeatedly, saying, "Look, its dodging movements are getting smoother and smoother, as if it doesn't think at all, it just dodges by conditioned reflex!"

Not only them, but the viewers in the live stream who had been glued to their screens were also stunned:

Holy crap! That positioning, that movement!

[Awesome! It twists like a green spring, that reaction speed is insane!]

[Su Shen is awesome! The training results are immediate!]

[As it turns out, even a worm can become a micro-management master when faced with the temptation of a good meal!]

Seeing the boiling barrage of comments and Number 18's reaction, Su Mo's face was full of a satisfied smile.

After three perfect dodges, the traction device finally delivered the leaf to Number Eighteen's mouth.

Seeing the unparalleled delicacy so close at hand, Number Eighteen's antennae trembled with excitement. It suddenly stretched out its body again and took a bite out of the leaf.

The moment the leaf entered her mouth, the unprecedented taste instantly won over No. 18. She was so excited that she chewed several times faster and swallowed the entire leaf with a series of crunching sounds.

Seeing that Number 18 had successfully eaten and drunk his fill, Su Mo turned to He Ya and Lu Junfeng and said, "It seems that the test was a great success!"

"Senior, go and inform the equipment room to expedite the order of forty-nine more of the same machine for me."

Su Mo glanced at the green worms that were still carefree munching on leaves beside him and continued, "Tomorrow morning, I want all the green worms to be tested."

Hearing Su Mo's words, He Ya and Lu Junfeng immediately shuddered.

Upon hearing this, viewers in the live stream typed: "[My condolences to the other green-haired caterpillars.]"

[Other Blue Velvets: Number 18, you're such a jerk! Couldn't you have acted a little less impressive? You made us get electrocuted too!]

[Other blue mittens: Curly dogs deserve to die!]

The netizens' teasing obviously couldn't change Su Mo's mind.

He glanced at Number 18, who was stuffed full of leaves and burping, smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the incubation box next to him: "Number 18's performance was indeed a pleasant surprise. But next, let's see how Azure Dragon's test results are."

After saying that, Su Mo waved to Fu Gui, who was standing to the side.

"Wang."

Fu Gui understood immediately, and the starlight in his eyes flickered slightly.

An invisible spiritual force descended instantly.

After eating and drinking to its heart's content, Number 18 felt a lightness in its body and then floated back into the incubator.

Next, the Azure Dragon, whose body was significantly longer and more slender than others of its kind, was lifted out by Fugui and gently placed on the experimental table.

As the Azure Dragon that shocked everyone yesterday, its appearance immediately drew gasps from the viewers in the live stream.

[Here he comes, here he comes, Zhuge Liang is on the field!]

This is going to be interesting; let's see if the Phoenix Chick or the Crouching Dragon is more powerful.

I'm betting 100 coins on Wolong!

I'm betting two hundred on the Phoenix Chick!

Looking at the Azure Dragon on the experimental table, He Ya placed the freshest Evergreen Tree leaf on the traction device.

Qinglong looked at the unparalleled delicacy before him, but his reaction was completely different from that of Number Eighteen.

It did not show any impatience or recklessness, but instead slightly raised the front half of its body, its two tentacles swaying gently, its slender body stretched to its limit on the tracks, as if it were observing the situation in front of it.

At this moment, the tracks started moving, carrying the Azure Dragon's body forward.

Feeling the tracks beneath him, the Azure Dragon crawled toward the leaves in front of him.

Snapped!

Just then, a purple arc of electricity shot out from the Thunder Vine, heading straight for the Azure Dragon's abdomen.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Azure Dragon's body swayed gently like water, dodging the electric shock with a smooth yet perfectly timed motion.

Seeing Qinglong's seemingly precognitive and composed dodge, everyone in the laboratory was stunned for a moment, then rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

As you can see, this book will be available for purchase today. During this time, many people have been asking if I am someone's alternate account. I can tell you that this author account is indeed an alternate account. However, my last book was a novel about urban fiction plagiarism, which was completed after a million words. This book is my first novel about beast taming, so I am not one of the authors that you are talking about.

Because of a lot of things going on at home lately, I've had to take care of my family in addition to work, as you can probably tell from my increasingly late update times... So I can only update twice a day for the next few days. Once things ease up a bit, I'll try to update more frequently. Please subscribe and support me! Thank you everyone.
