After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tame - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: Chapter 59 Cangwu
Each year, the opportunity for free entry into the Secret Realm allowed the capture or hunting of up to three monsters.
It was a rare chance to enter, one that shouldn’t be wasted.
On the last day, Zhao Liang helped the three of them hunt a Scythe-Ghost Crab each.
The staff member looked at the three corpses of the Scythe-Ghost Crabs, then glanced at the three youngsters who still had a hint of childishness, “You hunted these?”
“We hunted them.”
“Let’s see your Beast Taming.”
One, two, three.
The staff member first glanced at Taotie, didn’t say anything, just bowed his head to write a few strokes on the paper, then tore off a slip and handed it to Chen Xing.
Then he shifted his gaze to the two little ones beside Taotie.
“…”
“They hunted these?”
Zhou Hao felt a bit guilty, “Yes… Yeah.”
The staff member twitched the corner of his mouth, “Don’t let it happen again, we don’t allow proxy hunting in principle.”
He still tore off two receipts and handed them to Zhou Hao and Wang Bing.
Once they left the safe area, Zhao Liang smiled smugly, “How about that, listening to Brother Zhao was the right call, wasn’t it? In principle, proxy hunting isn’t allowed, but that’s just in principle. As long as it’s not excessive, they generally turn a blind eye.”
Chen Xing took the receipt and sincerely expressed his thanks to Zhao Liang, “Thanks, Brother Zhao. After we get out, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
One trip into the Secret Realm, and from selling monsters alone he made four hundred thousand.
For him, it was undoubtedly a hefty sum.
Especially since the two most valuable monsters were hunted with the help of Brother Zhao.
“That’s what you said, but you cannot just thank me, you also have to thank it,” Zhao Liang said as he patted the Burn-Hunting Wasp.
The Burn-Hunting Wasp arrogantly lifted its head.
“Get it a can of honey when we get out. This guy is about to go mad craving something sweet.”
The Burn-Hunting Wasp was extremely sensitive to the word ‘sweet.’ Upon hearing it, its eyes lit up, the red compound eyes glowing like two tiny light bulbs.
It flew in front of Chen Xing, rubbing its hands together like a “fly.”
“Alright, we’ll have honey when we get out,” Chen Xing promised with a smile, extending his hand to pet the Burn-Hunting Wasp.
The Burn-Hunting Wasp had a layer of warm red fuzz on its body, which appeared very smooth to the eye, but upon touching it felt harder than it looked.
“Aoo aoo,” Taotie nudged Chen Xing’s leg with its head, and when it saw its master look back, it begged eagerly with a cry.
“I want to eat too, I want to eat too.”
Taotie didn’t know what honey was, but seeing someone else eating it made it unable to resist wanting some too.
“Alright, you can have honey too,” Chen Xing chuckled.
With his master’s promise, Taotie was delighted like a baby weighing over six hundred pounds.
The rest of the time was mainly spent accompanying Zhou Hao and Wang Bing on their hunts. They had already “hunted” a Scythe-Ghost Crab and taken lots of photos, so they were already over the moon.
Now they had only one goal — to hunt two monsters themselves.
That was also the greatest pleasure, wasn’t the aim of raising Beast Taming to hunt personally?
If one couldn’t hunt personally, what would be the fun in that? Besides, they weren’t lacking tens of thousands.
Since both of their Beast Taming creatures had just barely surpassed Energy Level ten, picking any monster at random in the Secret Realm would have a higher Energy Level than their creatures.
Therefore, they decided to team up for hunting.
A rhino and a crocodile teamed up to corner monsters in the shallow waters, fighting to their heart’s delight.
Meanwhile, Chen Xing was beside them, playing in the water with Taotie.
Perhaps knowing that they were about to leave this place, Taotie splashed around energetically in the swamp. They were now in the peripheral zone, where they could mostly encounter three major species of fish and Giant Belly Shrimp.
Taotie became the little overlord of the water, stirring up this patch of water so much that many monsters stayed far away, not daring to come near.
Sitting on a stone stool by the bank, he watched Taotie frolicking joyously in the swamp, his face involuntarily breaking into a smile.
Perhaps this kind of environment was Taotie’s favorite place.
The Taotie not far away glanced at its master, then dove into the water.
Whoosh!
Splashing through the surface, Chen Xing’s clothes were dampened by the water.
In Taotie’s mouth was a panic-stricken red silkfish, still juvenile at only one and a half meters long. Chen Xing took a look, Energy Level twelve.
Not bad, perfect for a sparring session with Zhou Hao and the others.
He had just asked Taotie to find a smaller fish. Although the relationship between size and Energy Level isn’t always accurate, generally speaking, it’s still valid.
“Amazing,” Chen Xing praised generously.
Taotie’s eyes narrowed into slits, and its mouth stretched into a grin, like a little dog being complimented.
No sooner had its mouth opened wide than the struggling red silkfish found an opportunity to break free and escape without looking back.
Taotie’s eyes widened, oh no!
It quickly turned around to chase.
Zhou Hao and Wang Bing watched as the Beast Taming creature Taotie was carrying came over. The two exchanged glances and remained silent.
An opponent they would need to work hard with their Beast Taming creatures to deal with was so easily brought over?
Would it be just as easy to carry off their Beast Taming creatures?
It must be the flying advantage that Zheng Weixin’s Iron Feather Fighting Hawk had that allowed it to fight Chen Xing’s Beast Taming creature for so long.
If it were in the water or on land, the battle would have ended much sooner.
…
In the afternoon, everyone reconvened at the Secret Realm’s exit.
Dinner was at a barbecue restaurant outside. During the meal, Chen Xing said he was going to the restroom. Midway, he went ahead and settled the bill, which came to over three thousand, mainly because they drank quite a bit of beer.
The Beast Taming creatures drank more than the people, but Taotie did not like the alcohol. It tried a few sips of beer and lost interest.
On the other hand, Teacher Kuang’s Blaze Hunter Bee seemed quite fond of beer, hugging a bottle and guzzling it against the wall.
After the third round of drinks, Chen Xing handed a black bag to Zhao Liang, “Brother Zhao, we’re off, let’s get together again when there’s a chance.”
Having had a few drinks, Zhao Liang’s cheeks were flush with a tipsy red hue as he belched, “Why so formal with your brother.” He took the bag and patted Chen Xing’s shoulder, “I’ll accept your gift, brother. I’ve hosted quite a few high school students, but you’re sharp and smart, with good Beast Taming talent. I’m looking forward to your performance at the Shu State Cup!”
Kuang Shiyi sighed helplessly, “Old Zhao, you’ve had too much to drink. Chen is only in his first year of high school, and even if he were to participate in the Shu State Cup, it’d still have to wait until next year.”
It was only after Chen Xing and his group had left in their car that Zhao Liang opened the bag to see what was inside.
Five bottles of Tianlan Pharmaceuticals’ premium cap bee honey.
“This kid,” Zhao Liang chuckled.
Although cap bees are only N11, they are genuine Beast Taming creatures, and a bottle of cap bee honey would cost at least a thousand yuan.
The kid was thoughtful.
The Blaze Hunter Bee next to him couldn’t wait to take the honey out of the plastic bag, unscrew the lid by itself, and then lifted the large bottle to drink heartily.
…
In the car, Chen Xing cradled the warm, foil-wrapped, securely tied white fluffy striped spider leg in his lap, with an additional double layer of plastic bags around it.
Looking at the scenery retreating past the window, Chen Xing’s mind couldn’t help but drift back to the joyful scene of Taotie in the Secret Realm.
At this rate, it might not be long before Taotie needs to start preparing for evolution.
The school could procure materials for two common evolution pathways, but knowing that there was another seemingly stronger path at the Qiu family’s, it felt somewhat dissatisfying not to check it out…
If that was the case…
Chen Xing took out his phone, his finger sliding over the newly added name in the contacts list.
Qiu Qiuyu.
After hesitating for a moment, he dialed the number.
“Hello, Uncle Qiu?”
The voice on the other end recognized Chen Xing.
“Hahaha, I knew you’d agree. I’m just about done with my things here. If it’s convenient for you, come back with me to Cangwu tomorrow. The old man at home has been asking about you these past couple of days, wanting to see your Beast Taming creature.”
