Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 386 - 361: Time Maze

The clock tower monsters roared in frustration, helpless and enraged.

Should they all chase after the blood dragon? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The clock tower monsters moved, but they were influenced by the law of slaughter. Their senses dulled, incomparable even to a three-year-old child. After half an hour of running, their interest in the chase vanished, and they all returned, like the dull wild monsters in games.

The importance of intelligence was vividly apparent here.

As for the Time City Monster, it was equally brainless.

Even if it had a brain, it was trapped in that period, unable to escape.

After slaughtering all the clock tower monsters and alarm clock monsters, Xiaoruan’s All Things Domain reached one hundred and ten thousand meters.

What about the Watch Monster?

Li Cunxu found it unprofitable to kill them, so he didn’t specifically clear them out. However, if the Watch Monster dared to come within a hundred meters of Li Cunxu, it would be ruthlessly crushed by the domain.

After entering the dungeon, Li Cunxu summoned all his pet beasts.

"Quack~ Where is this place? It’s so comfortable!"

The Curse Crow raised its head and said with great enjoyment.

Having been introduced by the Time City Monster to the River of Time, this place had a large influx of the Water of Time, making it a paradise for Time Pet Beasts.

This is also why this secret realm spawned so many low-intelligence clock tower monsters.

"Everyone, stay alert."

Li Cunxu said.

This secret realm’s dungeon was a place Li Cunxu had only tackled on the surface in his previous life. Due to the high difficulty of the dungeon, he had given up back then, leaving him ignorant of the dangers within, the Time City Monster’s skills, and its combat style, filling him with uncertainty.

If he hadn’t killed the Time City Monster, how did Li Cunxu know the mechanical diagram was inside its belly?

That’s because the mechanical diagram caused a frenzy among all the players.

At that time, the gaming guild that was the first to kill the Time City Monster presented the mechanical diagram to the alliance and traded it for the right to build a city and the position of an alliance mayor.

Back then, no guild had built a city yet.

The diagram was equivalent to the first appearance of a City Building Order, and it came with a high-ranking position in the alliance.

That gaming guild wasn’t very large, a second-tier guild, lacking the ability to construct a city, so the guild leader sold the city-building rights.

It sold for a staggering seventy billion in real-world currency.

Once this happened, how could the players not be excited?

Moreover, a highly dramatic event occurred afterward, pushing this matter into a new wave of frenzy, making every player aware of it.

Since the gaming guild concealed information, other gaming guilds didn’t know how they obtained the city-building permit. With the speculation from several so-called smart players leading them astray, everyone thought they had gotten the City Building Order by killing the Time City Monster.

So, the gaming guilds started collectively farming this instance, aiming for the City Building Order.

Half a month passed, and countless deaths of the Time City Monster resulted in no City Building Order drop.

The gaming guilds didn’t give up, simply believing the drop rate for the City Building Order was exceptionally low. Some guilds even offered bounties to mercenary players, promising seventy billion to whoever got the second City Building Order.

The frenzy to farm the City Building Order was immense, attracting almost every capable solo player.

They farmed for a month.

Still, no City Building Order dropped. With so many players farming the Time City Monster, even if the drop rate were one in a billion, it should have dropped a City Building Order by now, but none appeared. People started doubting whether the Time City Monster could really drop a City Building Order.

The guild leader had to come forward and explain online, finally revealing the truth to the world.

The leader had no choice but to explain; his personal information had been exposed, and he was bombarded daily with questions about how they got the City Building Order, driving him crazy.

Li Cunxu made his way to the Time City Monster’s territory without any surprises or dangers.

A mottled mechanical castle, decorated with many clocks, especially the city gate, which bore a massive round clock face.

Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~

The urgent ticking of clock sounds filled the ears.

"This mechanical castle is the Time City Monster."

Li Cunxu said to Jiang Lingyun.

Li Cunxu didn’t step into the Time City Monster’s territory, for once he did, the Time City Monster would awaken and attack him.

"Chi Xiaoxiong, get ready."

Li Cunxu crushed the life-saving jade prepared by Li Shiji, which sealed one of his control skills.

The plan was to control the Time City Monster, allowing Chi Xiaoxiong to use Stealing God to steal the mechanical diagram, achieving major success.

From the life-saving jade emerged a spiritual hand, growing larger, and seizing the Time City Monster, then squeezing.

To Li Cunxu’s shock, due to the overpowering strength imbued in the life-saving jade, it crushed the Time City Monster to death in one grasp.

"Hurry up, find the mechanical diagram, there’s ten seconds."

Upon the Time City Monster’s death, it would resurrect in ten seconds.

Fortunately, in the seventh second, Jiang Lingyun found the mechanical diagram among the Time City Monster’s scattered remains.

Li Cunxu smiled with satisfaction, knowing it was the right choice to bring Jiang Lingyun along.

"Let’s go, we’re heading back."

The secret realm had two exits, one on the surface, in the replica of Zhong Monarch’s hometown, and the other inside the Time City Monster’s belly.

The exit in Zhong Monarch’s house was a fixed secret realm door, while the one in the Time City Monster’s belly was a freely accessible Secret Realm Key.

With three seconds left before the Time City Monster’s resurrection, there was no time to find the Secret Realm Key.

Kill the Time City Monster again to find the Secret Realm Key?

No need; it would waste the life-saving jade.

Creating a life-saving jade wasn’t easy, and every creation severely weakened the maker.

Even the scions of influential families would carry only one life-saving jade. For Li Cunxu and Li Anle to not lack life-saving jades was solely because their grandfather, Li Shiji, loved them dearly.

Li Shiji gave readily, but Li Cunxu couldn’t afford to use them lightly, for that would waste his grandfather’s sentiments.

Three seconds later, the Time City Monster resurrected.

Riding his Flame White Horse, Li Cunxu hadn’t yet escaped the dungeon.

The Time City Monster roared in fury.

Li Cunxu was unperturbed; the Time City Monster couldn’t exit its territory.

Suddenly, the Time City Monster shot a beam of white light at Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu remained calm, having a life-saving jade imbued with defensive skills. Just as the white light was about to hit him, a flicker of terror crossed his eyes. Why hadn’t the life-saving jade’s defense skill activated?

The life-saving jade’s failure to activate could be due to two possibilities: one, it had malfunctioned, or two, it exceeded the jade’s response range.

Clearly, it was the latter.

Li Cunxu carried more than one life-saving jade imbued with defensive skills; they couldn’t all have failed.

As the white light passed by.

The next moment, Li Cunxu and his party vanished from where they stood, appearing in a strange maze-like environment.

Li Cunxu froze for a moment, realizing what had happened to him.

He had been caught by the Time Maze skill.

Li Cunxu looked around and reconfirmed that he had indeed been caught by the Time Maze skill.

The regret over not wanting to waste an attack life-saving jade to kill the Time City Monster and buy time to escape was also squelched.

Even if he had used the attack life-saving jade just now, he would have still fallen victim to this Time Maze skill.

This skill could start instantly at zero frame.

Once initiated, there was no way to dodge or block it.

Before the life-saving jade killed the Time City Monster, it still managed to drag Li Cunxu into the Time Maze.
