Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 389 - 364: Two Old Enemies

"Xiaoruan, All Things Seal."

Xiaoruan fired a multi-colored light sphere, which entered the body of the Time City Monster.

The Time City Monster sensed the crisis and woke up. It tried to unleash its skills but couldn’t; it could only grab rocks to smash.

"Flame White Horse, Swift Shadow."

Many Shadow Horses split from the Flame White Horse and crashed into the Time City Monster. Each collision slowed the monster slightly.

The Time City Monster couldn’t dodge; its body was too cumbersome, and its speed was too slow. Originally, its time acceleration skill could compensate for this weakness, but all skills were sealed.

"Curse Crow, Curse."

Curse Crow shot curses targeting mechanical pets, such as rusting and sluggishness...

Li Cunxu didn’t let the Curse Crow use the Overlord Skill: Time Curse Crow.

The Time City Monster’s time was frozen by the River of Time; it couldn’t be taken away.

The monster couldn’t leave its territory, and its slow speed made it a punching bag.

Even Li Cunxu joined in, releasing the Spirit Blade on it.

The battle went on for a whole day and night.

Only then did the Time City Monster become a flickering candle in the wind.

"Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon, True Blood Dragon Form."

Dragon Blood burned fiercely, and the magnificent blood energy of the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon formed a blood dragon several times larger than itself. The blood dragon’s punch shattered the Time City Monster into pieces.

But, it still wasn’t completely killed.

Ten seconds later, it resurrected, frozen in time again.

The Time City Monster, frozen in time, is a being that only the Crowned Evil God can completely erase with an Evil God’s Divine Split; Li Cunxu couldn’t destroy it, which was normal.

Just because Li Cunxu can’t destroy the Time City Monster now doesn’t mean he won’t be able to in the future.

The grudge of being trapped for thirteen years, Li Cunxu remembered well.

Not only Li Cunxu remembered, but also Jiang Lingyun.

"Found it."

Jiang Lingyun happily waved the pocket watch in her hand.

The pocket watch is the Secret Realm Key for entering and exiting the realm. With it, Li Cunxu can enter the Mechanical Secret Realm anytime to trouble the Time City Monster and experiment with any skills he wants to practice.

By activating the Secret Realm Key, Li Cunxu and Jiang Lingyun returned to the Zhong Monarch’s clock room.

Li Cunxu wasn’t in a hurry to leave; there was a valuable item left by the Zhong Monarch in this room.

The Time Law—Past, protecting this clock room.

This law was hidden on one of the pocket watches hanging suspended from the ceiling.

There were many pocket watches on the ceiling, but the only one hiding the law was the one with the worst craftsmanship—Zhong Monarch’s maiden work.

Li Cunxu searched for a while and picked the pocket watch he thought was the worst.

"Zhong Monarch, don’t blame me. I took your blueprints and law, and in the future, I will definitely avenge you."

Li Cunxu took the pocket watch and pressed it to stop.

If not stopped, the Time Law—Past inside the pocket watch would take effect again, sending the watch back.

Li Cunxu brought the pocket watch out of the clock room, and without the protection of the Time Law—Past, the clock room, already destroyed several times, turned to dust in an instant.

Since it was at night, the disappearance of the room didn’t attract anyone’s attention.

Li Cunxu and Jiang Lingyun cleansed their scent, and the Curse Crow erased time traces so others couldn’t use time skills to retrace them. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Mechanical Emperor, who killed Zhong Monarch, would surely be concerned if his apprentice’s room mysteriously vanished. If the Mechanical Emperor were to notice Li Cunxu, Li Cunxu would be doomed, as he couldn’t rival an emperor.

All traceable marks were cleared, but if the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog got involved, Li Cunxu could still be found.

The dog relies on intuition, defying logic.

As a prominent figure in the alliance, the Mechanical Emperor could summon a few Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dogs to assist.

Fortunately, Li Cunxu was prepared.

Li Cunxu scattered the ashes of Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog fur around. The ashes could impede the dog’s intuition, rendering it useless even if it came.

Li Cunxu and Jiang Lingyun donned an Invisibility Cloak and sneaked out of the city. Once daylight arrived, they swaggered back into Mechanical City.

Now, the Mechanical City no longer had factories billowing black smoke but rather ones emitting white mist. Li Cunxu, with Blood Lotus Eye, saw purifiers attached to the chimneys.

The air quality in the Mechanical City greatly improved.

On the eastern edge of the city, a large area had been expanded and built, easing the congestion problem.

Pedestrians were no longer hurried, and smiles on people’s faces increased.

It seems the report by Little White Spider had an effect, as the alliance intervened.

Li Cunxu arrived at Mechanical City’s largest breeding park; he intended to buy Thunder Birds.

The goal of buying Thunder Birds was to lure out the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird boss version 4.0 and kill it.

There are two reasons for killing it.

One: During his first visit to Mechanical City, while on an airship, he nearly died at its hands; this grudge Li Cunxu still remembers.

Two: A thing that helps Li Cunxu comprehend the Overlord Skill "Lightning Body" is on it.

Lightning Body, a type of exotic lightning, could lead to comprehending a lightning skill related to one’s Overlord Body after refinement.

"Boss, do you have Thunder Birds?"

The breeding park owner said, "No Thunder Birds, young man. Why do you want to buy Thunder Birds?"

"Contract."

"I have a substitute for Thunder Birds; Thunder Shuttle Fighter Jets."

"No, thank you."

"Young man, insist on Thunder Birds?"

"Yes, I particularly like the bold and spirited look of Thunder Birds."

"Then you’re likely out of luck; there’s a Thunder Bird enthusiast in Mechanical City who snaps up all Thunder Birds, offering ten times the price. You should check out the Thunder Shuttle Fighter Jets. They’re superior to Thunder Birds."

Li Cunxu inexplicably associated this Thunder Bird enthusiast with the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird’s love for Thunder Birds.

"Could this person be scheming against the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird too?" Li Cunxu pondered.

Li Cunxu took a teleport to Tongdu once and found that over the years, the small Thunder Birds there had also been bought by a Thunder Bird enthusiast at ten times the price.

He also visited Shendu and found the same situation.

He didn’t go to other cities.

Presumably, they were bought too.

Li Cunxu was now ninety percent certain that the Thunder Bird enthusiast was collecting Thunder Birds targeting the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird.

There were no Thunder Birds for sale on the market, and the luring method wouldn’t work.

Li Cunxu decided to change tactics and sought help from the Ten Thousand Miles Tracking Dog.

Though he didn’t have something of the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird for tracking, he did have Thunder Bird feathers for the dog to sniff and find wild Thunder Birds outside Mechanical City.

Where there are Thunder Birds outside Mechanical City, the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird must exist.

Sure enough, Li Cunxu found it and was pleasantly surprised.

The Thunder-Loving Demon Bird was battling a mechanical pet.

Li Cunxu gazed at the mechanical pet, finding it familiar. Soon, it dawned on him.

It’s the Mechanical Thunder Dragon.

This creature is also a foe of Li Cunxu.

On his last visit to Mechanical City, this creature battled the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird. Though it was a King-level mechanical pet capable of driving off the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, it didn’t. Instead, it deliberately led the bird towards the city, causing battle ripples that killed many, and Li Cunxu nearly perished, only evading disaster by hiding in the Beast Taming Space.
