Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 127 All Things Spin Like Ants!

Fu Hongning said that this mutated queen ant was submitted by a small chamber of commerce.

A small chamber of commerce simply does not have the capacity to cultivate an ant colony.

Each ant colony is carrying out the personal will of the pregnant queen.

When ant colonies built around different fertile queens meet, war will break out immediately.

Cultivating multiple ant colonies requires a huge investment of space, manpower, and resources.

A small chamber of commerce doesn't even have the capacity to cultivate ant colonies, let alone specifically cultivate pregnancy-devouring queen ants.

Therefore, this mutated queen ant must have appeared by chance.

Zhong Yi immediately used his All-Knowing Detection to examine the mutated Queen Ant that had piqued the Soul-Controlling Flower's interest so much.

[Beast Name]: Queen Ant [Beast Species]: Antidae/Antiformis [Beast Level]: Common Beast (1/10)

[Beast Taming Type]: Mystic [Beast Taming Quality]: No Skills

【All Things Transformed by Ants】: It does not have the ability to reproduce itself. After devouring other living beings, it can refine and modify the genes of other living beings. Without changing the genetic level of the devoured living being, it can give birth to ant offspring with the genes of that living being. The strength of the ant offspring is related to the strength of the target before devouring, and is not related to its own strength.

Upon further investigation, Zhongyi discovered that the fertilizing ant queen had mutated into a creature called the fertile ant queen.

Although Zhongyi compiled all the data for the game, his brain is not a memory.

It's impossible to memorize all the information about beast taming that has been written.

The Queen Ant's basic skills are definitely not that outstanding, otherwise Zhongyi shouldn't have had much of an impression of her.

It seems that no player in the game has raised the Queen Ant to a very high level.

The more Zhongyi pondered the Queen Ant's fundamental skill, "Turning Everything into One," the more alarmed he became.

The Queen of the Feast Ant is different from ordinary queen ants; it is not like the common queen ant that feeds on pregnancy.

Each ant has an extremely strong reproductive capacity and can create a huge ant colony by laying eggs. The queen ant has lost the ability to lay eggs and hatch ants on its own. However, the fertile queen ant is not incapable of building its own ant colony.

The way the queen ant builds her colony is by devouring other living beings to absorb their genes.

By combining the genes of other life forms with their own ant-like genes, the creatures they devour are transformed into ants through rebirth.

Furthermore, the transformed ants possess the strength that the target had in life.

This ability is roughly equivalent to changing the species of the target, allowing it to exist in the world in a completely new way.

Through investigation, I learned that the queen ant of the Feng ant breeds offspring through the reincarnation of countless ants, which has a strict requirement.

That is, the target must be kept alive and not die during the process of being devoured, otherwise even if offspring are born, they will not be able to hatch properly.

If the target being devoured is physically mutilated, the strength of the ant offspring produced will decrease according to the proportion of mutilation.

However, Zhongyi didn't consider these to be major flaws.

If you were to give the corpse of a powerful dead ant to the Queen Bee to devour.

If the Queen Ant can directly hatch such a powerful being, then the Queen Ant is probably even stronger than the Order Beast, which possesses the authority of rules!

In Zhong Yi's view, even with many restrictions, the Queen Ant was like an orderly beast with special reproductive rules. Seeing that Zhong Yi's gaze never left the mutated Queen Ant, he noticed that the Queen Ant was still very much in control.

Fu Hongning continued his introduction.

"The basic skill of the adult queen ant is called Devouring Transformation, which can implant the genes of the devoured target into the offspring ants."

"This skill sounds very powerful, but in reality, the genes consumed by the queen ant have little effect on the offspring."

"Those small ant offspring have fairly sharp teeth, but their elemental resistance is extremely poor."

"When encountering a beast tamer capable of manipulating elements in battle, there is no room for resistance."

Fu Hongning lowered his voice as he said this.

"My lord, I heard that this mutated queen ant had refused to eat for almost half a year before it was brought here."

"Unlike a normal queen ant that is not so interested in flesh and blood, she did not lay a single egg that could hatch."

"This mutated queen ant likely has some defects; the eggs she lays not only fail to hatch, but also rot away in a short time."

"I don't think there's much room for cultivating a queen ant that can't form a colony through reproduction."

"Look at this kind of alien beast that can produce biomes, even at a fixed price of 1700 million, no one is willing to buy it. Most likely, others have heard about it too."

Zhong Yi didn't say anything more upon hearing this, and directly reached out and tore off the label on the Queen Ant.

I was very glad that the news had spread, otherwise I might have missed out on this queen ant!

"It's indeed rare for a queen ant to grow several times larger after mutation. I plan to buy one and have my architects study it."

Based on our understanding of the basic skill of the Queen Bee Ant, "Turning Everything into One," we know that the Queen Bee Ant needs to eat live food to produce offspring.

The queen ant has no interest in being fed the remains of other creatures.

They occasionally swallow corpses, but only to survive.

No wonder this queen ant looks sick; she's too lazy to even move.

Ever since the mutation began, the Queen Ant has suffered a lot.

Zhong Yi tore off the label on the mutated pregnant ant queen and prepared to buy it for a fixed price.

Fu Hongning simply assumed that Zhong Yi was rich and capricious.

After all, with Zhong Yi already tearing off the price tag, saying anything more would be tantamount to questioning Zhong Yi's judgment.

Upon learning that Zhongyi had purchased the Queen Ant, the Soul-Controlling Flower immediately emanated a joyful emotion.

The joy emanating from the Soul-Controlling Flower was like a tidal wave, causing Zhong Yi to involuntarily curl the corners of her mouth into a smile.

Having acquired the Queen Ant, Zhongyi's trip to the Alien Zoo was definitely worthwhile.

There are only eleven strange beasts left, and I haven't seen them yet.

After examining the remaining eleven strange beasts, Zhongyi discovered another one that really piqued her interest.

Upon seeing the strange beast, Xu Anjun, who had been mostly silent, couldn't help but speak.

"There's actually a medicinal lake clam here, mutated from a Qingyu lake clam!"

"I expect someone will be unable to resist and will buy the secret medicine lake clam at a fixed price within the next couple of days."

In front of the tank where the secret medicine lake mussels were being sold, many people were secretly throwing them into the water.

Zhongyi looked at the label on the sink and saw that the price was 120 million federal dollars.

This price is basically equivalent to the value of the potential points that the previous S-level Chosen One would gain each year.

However, in Zhong Yi's opinion, the secret medicine lake clam is indeed worth such a price.

If it weren't for the inherent flaws of the production-type beast, the Secret Medicine Lake Clam, its price would certainly be even higher.

The Qingyu Lake Clam is a top-tier healing-type pet.

Although the Qingyu Lake Mussel does not have the ability to directly treat diseases, it can produce Qingyu Pearls.

The Qingyu Pearl, a product of the Qingyu Lake Mussel, can be used as a powerful healing medicine in battle, allowing the target's external wounds to continue to heal.

The medicinal lake mussels that mutate from the Qingyu Lake Mussel can also produce pearls, but the medicinal pearls they produce no longer have any healing effects.

Instead, they will be made into ornaments and worn by beast tamers.

Despite resembling a blueberry, the pearl, imbued with a rich blue-purple hue, boasts an outstanding appearance.

But its appearance is actually the least praiseworthy aspect of the secret medicine pearl.

It can be said that every beast tamer who has reached the Fantasy level desires to obtain an accessory made of a secret medicine pearl.

Because accessories made from secret medicine pearls can enhance the beast markings on a beast tamer's body.

This allows beast tamers to better utilize the abilities of taming beasts through beast markings.

The rate at which the Secret Medicine Lake Clam produces Secret Medicine Pearls is not slow, but each time it produces Secret Medicine Pearls...

The toxic substances secreted by the secret medicine lake clam will put the clam into a state of severe injury and near death.

Because this toxic substance has a very strong curse effect, the secret medicine clam is very difficult to treat.

This means that even with the best care, a single herb-producing lake mussel can only produce a maximum of two herb-producing pearls per year.

This is even with a significant investment of resources; it would be far better if the secret medicine lake mussels simply produced their own secret medicine pearls.

Without much care, it takes almost two years to produce one.

Moreover, each time the body is severely injured and on the verge of death, it depletes the essence of the secret medicine, the lake clam.

This greatly reduces the lifespan of the secret medicine lake clam!

But in any case, if any force buys this secret medicine lake clam and cultivates it carefully...

In the lifetime of a secret medicine lake clam, it can obtain at least a dozen secret medicine pearls.

This will grant even greater combat power to more than ten powerful individuals above the Fantasy Rank within the faction.

The secret medicine pearl is something that can demonstrate the strength and power of a force. Seeing the eager looks of the members of various forces present, Zhong Yi decisively stepped forward and tore off the label of the secret medicine lake clam.

For others, the secret medicine lake clam is a beast that is difficult to cultivate.

Even for a four-fingered creator like Zhao Kai, cultivating the Secret Medicine Lake Clam and ensuring its stable production of Secret Medicine Pearls is no easy task.

You might be interested in possessing a special beast like the Guardian Dragon Pot!

With the help of his basic skill, the Treasure-Guarding Dragon Pot, he formed a contract with the secret medicine lake clam.

The injuries sustained by the Secret Medicine Lake Clam when producing Secret Medicine Pearls are transferred to the Treasure-Guarding Dragon Pot, which helps to share the burden. This allows the Secret Medicine Lake Clam to continuously produce Secret Medicine Pearls, greatly increasing the yield, and it does not consume the lifespan of the Secret Medicine Lake Clam in the process of producing Secret Medicine Pearls.

The moment Zhongyi tore off the label on the secret medicine lake clam.

The gazes of the various factions, eager to try their luck with the secret medicine lake clam, all fell upon Zhong Yi.

Even if they desperately wanted this secret medicine lake clam, no one dared to say anything.

Firstly, I really liked being the first to tear off the fixed-price label.

Secondly, no one would want to offend a chosen one for the sake of a resource-producing beast.

In the past, at private trade fairs like this, it was common for people to tear off the price tag after a fixed price and then negotiate privately.

Even some smaller forces are subjected to coercion and bribery after tearing off the price tags.

In a world where strength reigns supreme, the competition for resources is brutal.

At this moment, Zhou Yang had already walked up to Zhong Yi with the Drunken Dragon Jade in his hand and said something with a hint of reluctance.

"The material you provided, sir, that can enhance the bloodline of dragon-type beast tamers is valued at 400 million Federal Credits per grain, as it can enhance the bloodline of main dragon-type beast tamers."

"Is this price acceptable to you?"

Zhong Yi nodded secretly upon hearing this.

Zhong Yi's expected price for the Drunken Dragon Jade is over 300 million Federal Credits.

Zhongyi is willing to accept a price as long as it can be sold for 300 million Federal Dollars.

400 million Federal Credits per coin, which exceeded Zhongyi's expectations. "No problem, I've set my sights on three alien beasts. Here are the labels for those three beasts."

After handing the Drunken Dragon Jade back to Zhong Yi, Zhou Yang accepted the label from Zhong Yi with both hands.

"You have selected these three exotic beasts, and the total price is exactly 150 million Federal Credits."

"My personal discount for you is 5%, so the price after the discount is 142.5 million federal dollars."

"If all transactions are conducted using Drunken Dragon Jade, thirty-six Drunken Dragon Jade pieces will be required."

"I will deposit the remaining 1.5 million Federal Credits into your VIP card."

"The VIP card of Senhe Club is universally accepted within the New Xia Federation. You can withdraw the stored value from the card at any time at various merchants."

Zhong Yi had more than sixty pieces of Drunken Dragon Jade in his possession, which he gave to Zhou Yang afterward.

Zhou Yang personally packed the Wind Flash Butterfly, the Queen Ant, and the secret medicine Lake Clam into Zhong Yi's storage bag.

Zhou Yang then took the opportunity to ask for his preferred contact information.

He seriously stated that if there are any other exotic beast resources in the future, he will inform Zhongyi as soon as possible.

Zhong Yi gave Zhou Yang her QQ number without hesitation and accepted his friend request in front of him.

Directors like Zhou Yang of the Senhe Association have access to numerous chamber of commerce resources.

For Chung-Yi, this is more useful than for Fu Hung-Ning, who is the president of the Rare Insect Chamber of Commerce.

After receiving the VIP card from Zhou Yang, Zhong Yi happily embarked on her journey home.

In order to spend more time with Zhong Yi, Fu Hongning did not stay at the Senhe Club, but chose to leave with Zhong Yi and Xu Anjun.

Fu Hongning's beast-riding carriage followed closely behind Xu Anjun's.

As they approached the entrance to the central city area, Xu Anjun felt a pang of anxiety again.

Before Xu Anjun could think any further, the space in front of the beast-taming chariot shattered as if it were a mirror.

A huge, dark corridor stretched out in front of the beast-riding chariot carried by the Frostwater Cold Dragon.

Before Xu Anjun could react, a skeleton-like creature emerged from the corridor and slashed at the three peak-level Frostwater Frostwater Dragons pulling the carriage. The skeleton shredded their bodies.

After letting out several mournful roars, it breathed its last.

After killing the three Frostwater Dragons, the skeleton charged towards Xu Anjun with undiminished momentum.

The beast pattern on Xu Anjun's back suddenly lit up, and a water curtain appeared in front of Xu Anjun to withstand the attack.

As beast patterns lit up on her back, Xu Anjun activated her Soul Foundation and summoned her natal beast.

Even if Xu Anjun was incredibly oblivious, she would realize that the two mythical-level monsters who had recently been causing trouble in Starry City were the ones who had stopped the car.

The two bizarre targets of the mythical rank were clearly Zhong Yi, who was sitting in the carriage.
