Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code
Chapter 498 Digestion
This is no longer a matter of how fast or slow the digestive system is.
As Qin Ming watched Qing Chen's satisfied expression, the scene from just now kept replaying in his mind—the enormous blue eel corpse was decomposed and absorbed in just a few dozen breaths, leaving not a trace behind.
This is not ordinary eating; it is a kind of near-perfect digestion, with an absurdly high utilization rate of the ingredients.
However, this perspective explains the information on the panel that the Azure Emperor Python would wreak havoc in the seas after reaching adulthood.
He had initially thought this description referred to the ferocity of adult combatants, but now it seems there's another interpretation.
After all, regardless of its nature, if it were so easy to gain something and improve, wouldn't that be cultivating a ruthless and cold-blooded killer snake?
No need for deliberate cultivation or seeking opportunities; simply by hunting, eating, and absorbing, one can steadily climb the ranks. This growth model, placed in any ecosystem, is destined to give rise to a terrifying existence that all creatures would avoid at all costs.
Qin Ming took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The plan has changed. We can now search for electric eels, or perhaps ringed octopuses or highly venomous jellyfish."
Since Qingchen's "digestion" can absorb the characteristics of its prey, it should target prey with clearly defined skills.
The former is electrified, and the latter is poisonous; their advantages are distinct. If Qingchen could obtain them, it would be a great benefit.
Moreover, they each have distinct attributes and stable abilities, making it easier to observe their effects compared to hunting indiscriminately.
As for even rarer skills, Qin Ming was not without envy, but he also knew that such sea beasts were extremely rare and hard to come by.
Not only is it difficult to find quickly, but also, given Qingchen's current strength, rashly making contact could very likely lead to uncontrollable changes.
Furthermore, he always suspected that Qingchen's ability might have some limitations or special features, so it would be better to do some preliminary research first.
"Okay, got it!"
He was equally excited about his partner's advancement. He raised his wings and placed them on his forehead, looking just like a veteran on a reconnaissance mission.
He nimbly spun around in the seawater, sensing the various scents carried by the current.
This body of water may indeed be rich in ecology, because within minutes, Keda found a suitable experimental subject.
A cute little rainbow octopus of level three has appeared!
It was an octopus not much bigger than the palm of your hand, with a translucent pale pink body and eight rings on its tentacles, but its color was dull at this moment.
Furthermore, its size is not particularly noticeable in the deep sea, which makes it hard to believe that Dagen found it so quickly.
Upon noticing the approaching Keda with ill intentions, the other party quickly flashed neon lights, using bright and dazzling warning signals to indicate that it was not to be trifled with.
Many predatory beasts that hunt in the deep sea dislike these creatures because they have little meat and are poisonous.
But Keda and Qin Ming remained calm.
Lan Yuanjun's gift gave Keda a profound understanding of the power of purification.
Its resistance to toxins and negative status effects is more than enough to deal with the toxins of a Tier 3 Rainbow Ring Octopus.
As for Qin Ming himself, he doesn't engage in close combat, so what does it matter to him whether it's poisonous or not?
Keda suddenly appeared in front of the rainbow octopus at an extremely high speed, so fast that the rainbow octopus didn't even have time to activate its venom.
It panicked and tried to escape, its tentacles flailing wildly, but the ball of silvery-white water had already surged towards it.
With a flap of its wings, the surging silvery-white water swirled around the struggling octopus, leaving it disoriented. Its small body spun in the water, its eight tentacles tangled together in a chaotic mess, unable to discern its direction.
Then, the hard beak is aimed at the central nervous system of the ringed octopus, delivering a precise and fatal blow.
The rainbow octopus's body trembled violently before going limp, and the flashing neon lights went out, slowly turning into a dark patch on the seabed.
The battle ended without any suspense.
The whole process was clean and efficient, taking no more than three or four breaths from observation to attack and the end.
Keda gently carried the carcass of the rainbow octopus back with its beak and placed it steadily on the reef in front of Qingchen.
Then he quietly stepped aside, leaving the space to Qingchen. Despite his young age and build, he possessed the air of an older brother—composed, reliable, and reassuring.
Qin Ming stepped forward and used the venom he had collected in the past to add to the carcass of the rainbow octopus, eliminating as many unstable factors as possible.
Qingchen bowed her head and nodded slightly in thanks, her posture elegant and composed, like a nobleman waiting to dine.
Perhaps because the prey was small, this feeding was not as savage as when it swallowed the blue eel.
After afternoon tea, Qingchen's posture remained as elegant as ever. His physique was unchanged, still slender and graceful, neither expanding nor contracting, as if nothing had happened.
But Qin Ming frowned slowly as he stared at the unchanged information on the panel.
What went wrong?
The octopus's venomous abilities were not "absorbed," and there wasn't even a trace of it left.
This was completely different from when he swallowed the blue eel before, when he clearly saw the new skill attribute appear on the panel.
Qin Ming's gaze swept over Qing Chen again and again, trying to find some pattern.
Is it a problem with the prey's strength? Or the type of skill? Or—
"Black Hole, do you still have any Lucky Scale Powder in stock?" Qin Ming suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the dark shadow floating quietly not far away.
The black hole trembled at the sound, causing small ripples to spread across the surrounding seawater.
It wasn't that he was unwilling; Qin Ming and his teammates treated him very well, and he was willing to make some contributions to the team.
But, now that the big fan of face powder, Little Fatty, has finally fallen asleep, he's still thinking about stocking up on some powder these days to ease future inventory pressure...
Although the spirit plants that Xiaopang and Cangxuan jointly cultivated had an excellent pollen scent, the fact that they had to collect the goods after eating their fill put a lot of pressure on Die.
Black Hole had hoped to take advantage of the rare lull during Little Fatty's slumber to build up a reserve.
But before he could even warm up the inventory, the boss's gaze fell on him again.
