Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 343 - 318: Return

The tax collection day of the month arrived, and Xiaoruan found the tax from the evolution of Demon Fire Slime into Little Flame Demon out of trillions in Slime taxes.

"It seems this is precisely the nature I was hoping for; it belongs to both the Slime and the Little Flame Demon."

Li Cunxu was ecstatic.

What does it mean to collect taxes from the Demon Fire Slime evolving into the Little Flame Demon?

It means that Xiaoruan’s power will soar rapidly. Even when it reaches the level of an Overlord, a King, or even higher realms, its power-up speed won’t slow down due to a decrease in taxes collected.

This is all because the Little Flame Demon has infinite potential and can become a significant taxpayer in the future.

There are two reasons for the Little Flame Demon’s unlimited potential.

First, it is a demon pet.

Demon pets have a bug-level passive ability, the more they kill, the more they grow.

As long as the killings are numerous, even if your potential is poor, your level will still increase rapidly.

This is a reward from the will of Hell. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Second, the Little Flame Demon’s evolutionary potential as a species is extraordinary.

At the Lord level, it can evolve into a Flame Demon, at the King level into a Great Flame Demon, at the Venerable King level into a Flame Demon King, at the Monarch level into a Flame Demon Emperor, and there is even a one in a billion chance of breaking through to the Emperor level and evolving into a Flame Demon Lord that governs a layer of Hell.

Of course, the premise for unlimited potential is that the Little Flame Demon has to kill a lot, and especially a lot, to stand out among thousands of Little Flame Demons.

Xiaobai Spider, holding a data report, said to Li Cunxu: "These Little Flame Demons evolved from Slimes have completely inherited the chaotic nature of authentic Little Flame Demons. Except for Xiaoruan, no one else can command them. Thus, your idea of having Little Flame Demons join the Slime army to enhance its combat effectiveness has fallen through."

"Moreover, since the Little Flame Demons are too belligerent and often injure other Slimes, it is not advisable to place these Little Flame Demons in the Slime army."

If these Little Flame Demons aren’t put in the Slime army, where should they be placed?

Should they be placed outside to collude with authentic Little Flame Demons and attack the Slime army together?

Li Cunxu had not tried putting the Slime version of Little Flame Demons out, but once released, they didn’t venture far before turning back to join the authentic Little Flame Demons upon hearing sounds of battle with the Slime army, fighting against the Slime army together.

"These Little Flame Demons are difficult to manage!"

Li Cunxu pondered for a long time and came up with a good way to handle the Slime version of the Little Flame Demon.

"To carry out this method, I still lack the most crucial item, which exists in this world. However, this world is so vast that finding it might be a bit difficult, luckily, I have a secret weapon."

Li Cunxu’s secret weapon for finding that item was to send Jiang Lingyun to search, with Xiaobai Spider’s golden clone acting as her bodyguard.

He believed that with her good fortune, she would find it soon.

In fact, it was as expected, it only took Jiang Lingyun three days to find what Li Cunxu wanted.

The Hell Altar.

The Hell Altar has two functions: sacrifice and return.

Sacrifice, by offering souls to the Hell Altar, will summon demon pets. The larger the soul offered, the stronger the demon pet summoned.

Return, demon pets can return to Hell through the Hell Altar.

Li Cunxu’s method of dealing with the Slime version of Little Flame Demons was to use the return function of the Hell Altar to send the Slime version of Little Flame Demons into Hell, allowing them to develop independently, live or die at their own will.

Before implementing this method, Li Cunxu collected some blood from the Little Flame Demons and used it to modify the hell runes on the Hell Altar, changing the return function so it no longer specifically targeted a single layer of Hell but randomly targeted any layer of Hell.

With this change, when the Slime version of Little Flame Demons used the Hell Altar to return, the layer of Hell they returned to would be completely random and uncertain. This would allow them to be distributed across various parts of Hell, preventing them from all staying on one layer and engaging in mutual slaughter and consuming each other.

After doing all this, Li Cunxu used his mimicry skill to change his face to someone else, then used the Divine Concealment Compass to find the right way out and left with Jiang Lingyun.

Having exited the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land, Jiang Lingyun leaned against the trunk of a big tree, her head slightly raised, staring at the bright moon and starry sky in a daze.

"Is this the main world that the villagers have always yearned for? The moon and stars here seem no different from those I’ve seen before."

Li Cunxu said, "Of course there is no difference. The sun and moon of your small world are just projections of the sun and moon of the main world."

The first thing to do after going out was to select the Pet Beast Golden Brocade Mouse for Jiang Lingyun.

In the pet shop.

Jiang Lingyun saw the Golden Brocade Mouse’s snowy fur like satin, with a circle of golden fuzz around its neck, resembling a tiny hamster, very cute, and she immediately liked it.

Li Cunxu looked through every Golden Brocade Mouse in the store, shook his head, and took Jiang Lingyun to the next shop.

After viewing Golden Brocade Mice in numerous pet shops, totaling over twelve hundred, Li Cunxu selected only one.

Watching as Jiang Lingyun held the box containing the Golden Brocade Mouse, she asked perplexedly.

"Aren’t all Golden Brocade Mice the same? Why go to such trouble in selecting one?"

"Examine it closely. How is it different from other Golden Brocade Mice?"

Jiang Lingyun lowered her head and scrutinized carefully for a long time.

"There’s no difference!"

"Look closer."

"I still don’t see any difference?"

"Look at the whiskers."

Jiang Lingyun examined the whiskers and discovered that this Golden Brocade Mouse indeed had different whiskers from others.

The whiskers of other Golden Brocade Mice were all white, but the whiskers of this one were pale gold.

Li Cunxu said, "In the future, when you buy a Golden Brocade Mouse, buy one with golden whiskers, because only Golden Brocade Mice with golden whiskers can evolve into Treasure-Seeking Mice."

After Jiang Lingyun contracted the Golden Brocade Mouse, Li Cunxu took her to the alliance to select a Holy Beast Egg.

The pet beast egg reward for the gold championship.

Li Cunxu already had an idea of which type of Holy Beast Egg he wanted, but whether that type of Holy Beast Egg could be encountered was a problem, so he wanted to borrow Jiang Lingyun’s good fortune.

Especially since Jiang Lingyun’s good fortune was now doubled after contracting with the Golden Brocade Mouse, as its unparalleled good fortune talent was shared with the Golden Brocade Mouse.

The person receiving Li Cunxu was the secretary of the Golden King.

"Where’s the senior?"

Li Cunxu asked upon not seeing the Golden King.

With a worried expression, the secretary said, "His Highness the Golden King went to the Black City and was caught in a plot by the Evil God forces there, causing him to fall into the Black Abyss Forbidden Land."

The Black Abyss Forbidden Land is far more dangerous than the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land.

A King Beastmaster falling into the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land would at most be unable to leave, but a King Beastmaster falling into the Black Abyss Forbidden Land has only a nine percent chance of survival.

A Monarch-level expert perished in the Black Abyss Forbidden Land once before.

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu pondered, glanced at the secretary, and then at Jiang Lingyun.

Li Cunxu quietly said to the secretary, "I have a way to increase the senior’s chance of survival, though it requires a small price. I don’t know if you are willing."

The secretary said, "Of course, I am willing."
