After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer - Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 71 Inheritance Tower (Part 2)

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

The first level was filled with monsters of the eighteenth energy level, which made Chen Xing suddenly look forward to what was to come.

Instinctively, he licked his lips and couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth curl into a smile.

“Oh!”

Taotie suddenly realized that the prey in front of him was gradually fading away and disappearing!

A crocodile lunged at a mountain pig.

But it lunged into thin air.

Green light flowed around inside the Inheritance Tower, and Taotie was enveloped by the warm green glow, feeling a warm and cozy sensation wash over his body.

Chen Xing was also covered by the green light, and his eyes, which were somewhat dry from staying up late, were once again bright, and his sour shoulders felt much more comfortable.

So there’s healing after every level… It seems this Inheritance Tower is one of the gentler ones.

As the first level was cleared, a platform rose from inside the Inheritance Tower, with three items placed upon it; each item was covered by a glass dome.

There was a line of text in an exotic language written on the grey platform. Chen Xing had crammed before coming and memorized some of the possible foreign languages he might encounter.

The writing in these Inheritance Towers was indeed repetitive, and Chen Xing recognized the familiar sentence.

The gist was that you could only choose one out of three, and to confirm your choice you need only touch the glass dome covering the item you want.

From left to right, there was a pink crystal, a skill orb, and a green, oily plant.

Under these three items, there were descriptions of the items, but unfortunately, he could not recognize any of them.

With no other option, he took out his mobile phone to take a picture and then translated the text in the image.

Thank heavens for technology!

The item to the far left was a Fantasy Crystal, a specialty from the Illusion Caves, and classified as Illusion Element Beast Taming treasure material.

The middle skill orb was for the Water Element advanced skill: Great Flood.

The item on the right was a coral emerald grass, also classified as Water Element Beast Taming treasure material.

Currently, the only Beast Taming pet that Chen Xing needed to evolve was Taotie, and it seemed that the treasure materials required for its evolution didn’t need him to go out of his way to search for them.

So, Chen Xing’s attention was immediately drawn to the advanced skill Great Flood.

This skill… seemed like a terrain skill that could instantaneously change the terrain, turning the nearby area into a body of water.

For Taotie, who was at energy level 22.3, an advanced skill might be a bit premature; even if it exhausted all its magic power, it might not be able to release the skill completely even once.

But… when Taotie was at level 10 energy level, hadn’t it started training in intermediate skills?

Normally, a keeper would need a Beast Taming with energy level 20 to attempt mastering intermediate skills.

And the improvement of proficiency level doesn’t necessarily require training, right? If the mini-games were suitable, proficiency could still rise steadily even without activating the skills.

Thus, Chen Xing decisively placed his hand on the glass dome covering the Great Flood skill orb.

The glass dome gradually faded and disappeared.

A dove-egg-sized transparent bead fell into Chen Xing’s palm.

…

In the center of the hall, a little further away from where they had been before, a phantom slowly appeared out of thin air.

At last, the phantom gradually solidified.

The monster that appeared this time looked familiar.

It was a large white snail; it was essentially a Little Wo that had been enlarged by many times.

[Species] Bonemarrow Good Snail

[State] Hallucination, Rage

[Attribute] Illusion, Water

[Energy Level] 23

[Energy Level Limit] 44

[Skills]

Primary Skills: Water Edge Blade (Master), Hallucinogenic Powder (Master), Water Vortex Shield (Adept)

Intermediate Skill: Heavy Water Prison (Adept)

The Bonemarrow Good Snail would mix Hallucinogenic Powder into Water Edge Blade for long-range attacks, use Heavy Water Prison to limit enemy movement, and protect itself with Water Vortex Shield.

It must be said that the skill combination of this Bonemarrow Good Snail posed a much greater threat than the mountain pig just before.

“Taotie, go tear it apart.”

Chen Xing issued the command to Taotie.

Taotie immediately began to scuttle towards the Bonemarrow Good Snail on its short legs.

The Bonemarrow Good Snail had four tentacles atop its head, two long and two short, with the long ones ending in a pair of small black eyes that swiveled to focus on the extremely active Taotie.

The two short tentacles below shook slightly, analyzing the scent of Taotie in the air.

The Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm moved quickly, with magical fluctuations emanating from its body.

The next second, the air around Taotie distorted, and strands of blue-black water formed out of nowhere, crisscrossing to form a huge prison that trapped Taotie inside.

Due to Taotie’s large size, the prison only confined most of his body, leaving the long tail exposed.

Taotie tried to twist its body, but because it was in the prison with no room to exert force, it couldn’t muster any strength.

“Taotie, use the Great Vortex,”

Chen Xing’s command came from behind.

Taotie slapped its paws on the ground, and a flash of blue light followed.

The surrounding air became humid.

Using the Great Vortex in a pure land environment with no water brings about one consequence…

The effect of the Great Vortex skill is to draw nearby water elements, but if there is water, the water source itself becomes the top priority.

And inside the Inheritance Tower, the dry ground originally had no water.

But after the Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm released the Heavy Water Prison, there was water.

The Heavy Water Prison trembled slightly, twisted…and became stalemated for a moment.

“Keep using it,”

Chen Xing’s command came from behind again.

Taotie continued to use the Great Vortex a second time.

Opposite, the Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm had launched its second round of attack.

Summoning a large amount of green powder, it quickly followed up with another release of the Water Edge Blade before the green powder had a chance to hit the ground.

The water elements in the air swirled and gathered together the powder that had just spread out.

The crescent-shaped water blade had a rapid current within it, with a hint of greenness faintly visible.

After a momentary standstill in the air, it shot out the next second!

It struck Taotie precisely on its forehead.

The blade cut a slender slit on the top of Taotie’s head.

About the length of a palm and three centimeters deep, it didn’t penetrate Taotie’s thick armor but just caused some of the escaping green water to spread around.

Taotie inhaled some of the scent that had dispersed in the air, which did not make it confused; instead, it made it even more excited and intensified its desire to fight.

Taotie slapped the ground with its paws twice in succession.

The second Great Vortex, the third Great Vortex!

The Heavy Water Prison could no longer maintain its shape and shattered under the powerful suction of the Great Vortex. As the Great Vortex collapsed, Taotie burst out with extremely fast speed for a short time.

It charged towards the Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm!

The Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm tried to retreat, but speed was its greatest weakness.

Although crocodiles aren’t known for their speed on land, it’s all relative.

The Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm released the Heavy Water Prison again.

“Taotie!”

Chen Xing took out a bag of spicy dried fish from his waist and tossed it to Taotie.

Taotie opened its mouth and swallowed it whole.

The magic power that had significantly dropped due to frequent use of intermediate skills instantly recovered to full.

Back and forth, in the process of countering each other’s skills, Taotie managed to reach the Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm upfront.

Taotie bit towards its head, and the Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm skillfully hid its exposed body back inside its shell.

The big mouth gripped the Muscle-Eating Sluggish Worm’s hard shell, as white as jade.

The dense white teeth biting the shell made a creaking sound, and cracks spread through it.

Taotie stamped its right foot heavily, spinning 360 degrees on the spot with its weighty body on the land.

The jade-like shell exploded with a loud bang! It transformed into a rain of blood in the sky.

Innate Skill: Death Roll!

Outside the Inheritance Tower, the clerk responsible for registration was signing in the students eliminated from the second round.

“One at a time, there’s enough for everyone in line.”

Twenty minutes later, “Sir, all registrations are complete, 15 students have been eliminated in the second round. There are currently three remaining inside the tower, continuing the challenge.”

“Only three students from Jincheng have passed the second round?” the officer mused, “It seems that this Inheritance Tower is not easy.”
