Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 390 - 365: Mutual Destruction

"Big bird, bow down to me! From now on, I’ll buy you thunderbirds every day to eat."

Lei Xieming shouted from atop the Mechanical Thunder Dragon’s head.

Li Cunxu activated his Blood Lotus Eye and discerned Lei Xieming’s appearance.

"No wonder this Mechanical Thunder Dragon treats human lives as nothing; it is his pet beast."

Lei Xieming, the youngest disciple of the Mechanical Emperor, is no good himself. After the Mechanical Emperor was exposed, Lei Xieming didn’t hesitate for a moment, following his master’s footsteps, killed two traitorous kings in the alliance, and detonated his laboratory at Mechanical City University, causing a massive explosion that led to the death of five hundred researchers and three thousand students, nearly crippling Mechanical City University.

As Li Cunxu observed Lei Xieming, the intuition of a king-level strongman was quite sharp; he sensed the gaze, looked toward Li Cunxu’s location, but saw no one.

Lei Xieming was somewhat puzzled.

"Is it just an illusion? Never mind, the most important thing is to subdue the big bird."

Lei Xieming had been coveting the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird for ten years, but it was too wild and carried various alien lightning, causing his attempts to end fruitlessly each time. Yet, he persisted.

Because he believed that all these efforts were worth it; his master, the Mechanical Emperor, had once said that this Thunder-Loving Demon Bird has no problem being crowned a monarch, and even becoming emperor is not impossible. Had it not been for his master’s exclusive contracts with mechanical pets, he would certainly have been tempted to contract it.

A pet beast even the Mechanical Emperor wanted; spending ten or twenty years is worth it.

On the other side, Li Cunxu, cloaked and hiding behind a tree, summoned the little white spider.

"Eat up all their good fortune."

The little white spider released the Destiny Spider, which crawled atop Lei Xieming’s head and leisurely began consuming his luck.

Lei Xieming felt a wave of discomfort but couldn’t pinpoint the source, becoming increasingly irritable.

The Destiny Spider, having consumed all of Lei Xieming’s luck, went to the Mechanical Thunder Dragon’s head to eat, then to the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird’s head.

Even a ninth peak Overlord and two kings remained completely unaware.

"The fate system is truly bizarre!" Li Cunxu couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

With all good fortune consumed, only misfortune remained.

Under the influence of this bad luck, the irritated Thunder-Loving Demon Bird and the equally irritated Mechanical Thunder Dragon became somewhat irrational, gradually fighting.

The Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, unable to gain the upper hand, hasn’t yet broken through to king status, but the Mechanical Thunder Dragon isn’t faring well either because the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird carries twenty-four kinds of alien lightning, the combined power heavily injuring the Mechanical Thunder Dragon.

The Thunder-Loving Demon Bird master twenty-four types of alien lightning, six more than the eighteen types remembered, which didn’t surprise Li Cunxu.

The Thunder-Loving Demon Bird was the 4.0 version BOSS, resolved by players in the fourth year since launch. At that time, it mastered eighteen types of alien lightning. Now, at twenty-five years old, Li Cunxu acknowledged nine years since launch, making an increase of six types is not entirely unreasonable.

Fighting between the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird and Mechanical Thunder Dragon grew fiercer.

Apocalyptic black clouds flashed with various colors of alien lightning, Mechanical Dragons fighting amidst the lightning clouds.

Thunderbolts fell one after another, flattening mountain tops, resembling a natural disaster.

Li Cunxu hoped to see the scene and realized it with the aid of their bad luck, leading to mutual damage.

Seeing the Mechanical Thunder Dragon almost killing the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, Lei Xieming’s eyes regained some clarity.

"Don’t kill the big bird."

The Mechanical Thunder Dragon paused, and the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird didn’t attack, its eyes also resumed clarity, turning into a purple lightning bolt escaping.

"Let’s go, as usual."

Lei Xieming said with a displeased tone.

Li Cunxu quietly followed along.

Both parties ended up mutually wounded but retained king-level combat power. If faced simultaneously, Li Cunxu might not win.

A prudent approach is to eliminate one at a time.

The Mechanical Thunder Dragon aimlessly wandered in the wild, searching for beast masters exploring outside.

Lei Xieming’s temperament was erratic, pleasure unstable, and each time he failed to subdue the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird, he needed someone to vent his frustration and anger.

...

On a cliff, a grandfather and granddaughter climbed with reluctance. Surrounding them were two drones, one gold-grade, one bronze-grade, with a jade heart orchid adorning above their heads.

Grandfather Tang Tianxiang said to granddaughter Tang Yao, "In the wild, gathering resources is an important skill."

Tang Yao replied, "Grandpa, actually we can use a simpler method; my mechanical pet X6 drone is equipped with a collection module, it can gather herbs autonomously, lessening my worry."

Tang Tianxiang said, "I knew you’d say that. Ask your pet if it can help pick the jade heart orchid."

"Go help me pick the jade heart orchid."

The X6 drone’s electronic voice sounded, "Sorry my master, I cannot help you pick it. I am equipped with mechanical claws, and contact with metal would cause the jade heart orchid to wither immediately."

Suddenly, a massive shadow swept the grandfather and granddaughter away from the cliff.

Tang Tianxiang was terrified, wasn’t this the safe golden area? Weren’t only golden pet beasts supposed to be active here? When a pet beast of above golden grade encroaches, alarms are supposed to go off, yet this pet beast snatched me away without even alerting my gold-grade drone; this must be beyond golden grade. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

In the blink of an eye, the grandfather and granddaughter appeared atop the cliff.

Tang Tianxiang saw a domineering Mechanical Dragon that had picked them up, although its body bore many scars, appearing somewhat disheveled, he exhaled slightly.

It’s not a wild pet beast, it’s a mechanician’s mechanical pet.

Lei Xieming jumped off the dragon’s head, and celebrity-chasing Tang Yao grabbed Tang Tianxiang’s clothes, excitedly shouting.

"Grandpa, it’s Lei Xieming, the most junior disciple of the Mechanical Emperor."

Tang Tianxiang completely relaxed his guard, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you for the rescue, but we weren’t falling from the cliff; I specifically climbed it to train this child’s ability to gather resources in the wild."

Lei Xieming punched Tang Tianxiang’s stomach, and upon receiving the heavy blow, he curled up his body, about to fall, while Lei Xieming yanked his short white hair to prevent him from collapsing.

"Old fool, who the hell saved you, talking so damn much."

Lei Xieming said while swinging his fists on Tang Tianxiang’s belly, speaking and hitting with increasing intensity.

"Big bird, why did you run? Why can’t you just obediently bow to me? I’ve fed you hundreds of thunderbirds, why don’t you remain close to me?"

Tang Yao was stunned for a moment. Seeing her grandfather spitting blood, she instantly shed her idol burden towards Lei Xieming.

"Bastard, let go of my grandpa."

Lei Xieming backhandedly slapped Tang Yao flying, nearly sending her tumbling off the cliff.

"Get lost, I’ll deal with you once I’ve handled this old man."

Tang Tianxiang saw flickering images as he was pummeled by fists; he didn’t understand why Lei Xieming randomly attacked him, a nearly eighty-year-old man, without apparent cause.

"Void Turtle senior, spatial displacement."

The grandfather and granddaughter were swapped, their original positions replaced with a stone.

"Who?"

Lei Xieming sharply looked up, alert.
