Beast Taming: Becoming a Bug-type Elite Four Member Starting with Silkworm Raising

Chapter 165 Nether RealmChapter 165 Nether Realm
Perhaps because the overloaded energy in the body was difficult to digest, Ayou’s transformation into a cocoon lasted for two full days and nights.

Fortunately, the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent continues to help ease the situation. Although uncomfortable messages will come from the black cocoon from time to time, Ayou’s condition has always been stable.

During the transformation process, the poisonous energy in his body gradually disappeared and was transformed into the proficiency of Nether Poison.

This change is basically in line with the racial situation of Huangquan Moth, which does not have poisonous attributes.

In the world of beast control, poisonous beasts are generally not particularly popular due to factors such as the difficulty of raising them and the risk of accidental injury.

But poison-type skills are a type of skill that basically everyone likes.

If these poison-stacking skills were more widely learned, the combat effectiveness of many tank-type pets might be doubled.

Although Ayou is not a human shield beast that uses its body to resist damage, it has several levels of dodge ability and often enters a state of protracted fighting.

With the Nether Poison skill, Ayou’s combat power module can be further completed.

For clumsy enemies, multiple Netherblast blasts are enough to break through their defenses.

And those enemies who are flexible and difficult to target are also difficult to be immune to the all-pervasive Nether Toxin.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Ayou’s skill set does not change much after that, as long as he steadily improves his hard power, it will be enough to stand on the stage of many large-scale competitive competitions.

Of course, this is just the most conservative assumption.

The most powerful part of the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent is that in addition to providing multiple opportunities for evolution, it also lies in the continuous optimization of the pet’s skills.

During the process of transforming into a cocoon, Ayou not only continued to absorb the accumulated growth progress and improve his basic attributes, but his skill proficiency was also steadily increasing.

As the ghost energy in the body continues to decrease, its ethereal power, nether poison, and advanced conditions for the primary night field have all increased to more than half.

Seeing this soaring, with the total growth exceeding 100% proficiency gain, Russell even came up with a slightly crazy idea:

Should we rely on the energy control effect of the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent and use energy overload as a controllable strengthening method?

On the premise that the excess energy can be drained away in time, it is almost impossible for the pet beast to explode and die.

As long as the amount of energy overload is controlled and not too exaggerated, making slight adjustments during evolution seems to be a feasible method.

Of course, Russell would not do anything purely based on luck.

In addition to relying on the energy screening function of the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent, he also plans to start with the basic attributes of the pet beast itself to reduce the side effects of energy overload as much as possible.

For example, let the pet beasts learn some skills to enhance their own resistance and adaptability, so that they can withstand energy overload to a higher degree.

Just in time, when Ayou also advances to the fourth level, Russell will have the ability to contract the third pet beast.

When the time comes, Xiao Qi will be contracted, and he, Ayou and Dao Lang will be able to communicate in depth through the beast control space.

As a protective pet that is good at recovery, Xiao Qi has practical skills such as a resistant body and rapid recovery.

If it acts as a teacher, Ayou and Daolang should be able to learn some stress-resistance and recovery skills if they spend more time.

Anyway, even if Ayou evolves, both it and Daolang are still at the early stage of the fourth level. It is too early for the next evolution. Learning one or two skills is not a problem at all.

…………

Just like this, another half day passed, and Ayou’s black cocoon finally began to fade away layer by layer, vaguely revealing the moth’s body with folded wings.

”The energy has begun to converge, and it seems that it is almost completing its evolution.”

Through the gradually fading black cocoon, Russell sensed its changes.

The feeling was a bit hazy, but he could vaguely read the general information contained in it:
Ayou is still a UFO Hawkmoth, and his bloodline level is still gold level.

”Last time, it reached the threshold of the gold level. This time, it has completely stabilized its status as the backbone of the gold level. There is a faint trend of rising to the purple and gold level, which is quite reasonable.”

Recalling the energy fluctuations Ayou emitted when she transformed to the gold level last time, Russell nodded and muttered to himself.

Not every evolution can achieve a leap in bloodline level, and Russell is completely prepared for this.

Anyway, it is only the fourth level now, and there are still five opportunities to evolve before reaching the ninth level.

Even if you don’t talk about the legendary crystal level, reaching the purple gold level is basically a certainty.

The excellent skill composition and purple-gold level basic attributes are standard configurations that are not inferior to those of previous kings.

As the evolutionary process gradually came to an end, Ayou’s consciousness that had fallen asleep during the transformation process also began to awaken.

woohoo...

”It’s a strange feeling...”

However, the first message it sent after it regained consciousness was that it seemed to be feeling unwell.

”What’s wrong? Still uncomfortable?”

Hearing this, Russell was startled and quickly asked about its condition.

There is no possibility of failure to break out of an energized cocoon. Logically speaking, at this stage, all evolutionary risks should have ended.

But Ayou said it felt strange. Could it be that evolution had failed...?
Thinking of this possibility, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Russell’s forehead.

However, the next message from Ayou left him speechless.

woohoo...

”No, it feels very comfortable. I have never felt it before.”

This treacherous son didn’t learn it from anyone. He half-said what he said, scaring his old father Russell to the point where he almost had a heart arrhythmia.

”……you this……”

After calming down his frightened mood, Russell was about to severely criticize Ayou for being such a traitor, but at this moment, a warm current suddenly poured into his body from the beast control space.

The familiar energy is exactly the energy feedback provided to the beast master when the contracted pet beast advances.

When Daolang evolved, Russell had already received the fourth level of energy feedback, so he didn’t feel too strongly this time.

However, the feeling of improved physical fitness is still wonderful.

He has been a homebody for more than years and several months, but now he feels that his body is full of energy, and running ten kilometers is no problem.

In order to test this idea, Russell picked up a kilogram weight of insect sand from the shelf and padded it.Although an average adult can lift this weight with no effort at all, he tossed the sandbag several times with ease, as easily as a large bag of potato chips, which shows that the energy backfired has an impact on one’s physical fitness. Huge gain.

And this kind of energy feedback that enhances basic physical fitness is only the most rudimentary form of expression.

It is said that many of those eighth- and ninth-level beastmasters who have contracted multiple pet beasts of the same attribute can already release some mid- to low-level skills through the energy in their bodies.

Since the beastmaster himself always puts self-preservation first in battles, among them, the spirit transformation of the ghost system, the thunderous assault of the thunder system, the flicker of the light system, and the wind wings of the wind system are the most eye-catching.

”I don’t know what skills the contracted insect-type pet beasts can use after reaching a high level...”

Thinking of this, Russell couldn’t help but look forward to the scene where he would unleash his pet beast skills.

However, the combat characteristics of the insect type are not as clear as most attributes. If they have anything in common, it is that they have strong adaptability and reproductive capabilities.

”Could it be that I master spinning silk? Transform into Spider-Man?”

But these two characteristics are not reflected in skills. Russell complained to himself while taking out his mobile phone and searching in major databases.

Probably because there really weren’t many people contracting insect-type pets, he searched around the Internet, but he couldn’t find any information about the human application of insect-type skills.

The way to strengthen the body of a high-level insect beast master may only rely on Russell’s own exploration.

”There’s a power outage? Why are all the phones turning on the night lighting function?”

After reading the webpage for a while, Russell found that the light on the phone screen was getting brighter and brighter, even becoming a bit dazzling.

Raising his head suddenly, he realized that the light in the insect room had dimmed to the point of being close to night at some point.

call……!
”The feeling of energy flowing is so amazing...”

In this moment, Ayou had sucked all the black cocoon back into his body. It stretched its gray-black wings that were so thin that they looked like a layer of mist, floating silently in mid-air.

At first, Russell didn’t pay much attention to the changes in the insect room.

After all, it is very common for a pet beast to try out its new abilities after advancing.

However, the prompt that came out from the beast control space immediately made him pay great attention to Ayou’s condition.

”Your pet has some special insights into the power of the domain and is trying to unlock new domain skills. Do you want to consume the source of evolution to help comprehend it?”

According to the prompts of the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent, in order to help Ayou understand new areas, the forty or fifty points of the source of evolution he had accumulated some time ago had to be invested at once.

The source of evolution is a renewable resource. When Ayou takes those iron chrysalis silkworms under his command, it is not a problem to get dozens of points of income. This investment is not a big deal.

However, domain skills are different from general skills. Russell is somewhat hesitant to give up the existing night domain and enter an unknown new domain.

After all, the impact of domain skills is all-round, not only affecting the opponent, but also affecting the pet beast itself that uses the domain.

If you release a field that is not suitable for you, it is a trivial matter to gain little benefit. It may also increase the enemy’s strength and weaken yourself, which will produce certain side effects.

Please take care of what is known, the final form of the Night Realm should be the Evernight Curtain once used by the purple-gold ferocious beast Moon Demon Rabbit.

This field skill has the effect of directly reversing day and night, and the summoned magic moon can also provide a steady supply of energy for specific pet beasts.

For the energy-based long-range attack beasts of the ghost and fairy types, it is already a very powerful field skill.

However, the Evernight Curtain also has a very important ability, which is that it can provide magical moonlight that can cause a mad state.

However, relying on the magical moonlight to increase strength has many irreversible side effects.

Russell is not a ferocious beast with an overwhelming desire to kill, nor is he an unscrupulous fire stealer. Whether it is a contract beast or a commercial beast in the insect control house, he will not adopt such cruel methods to improve.

Therefore, this ability of the Evernight Curtain is equivalent to a waste for Ayou.

It can even be said that when playing doubles or group fights, Evernight Curtain will cause certain obstacles to teammates like Daolang.

”If I remember correctly, the functions of domain skills are usually related to the existing skill configuration of the pet beast...”

After thinking about it, Russell decided to support Ayou in learning new domain skills.

All the skills that Ayou masters now are carefully selected. No matter what, it is not like he has mastered a completely useless field.

Anyway, with the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent, if the effect of understanding is really not ideal, there will still be opportunities to optimize it in the future.

After making up his mind, Russell raised his hands and injected all the remaining sources of evolution into Ayou’s semi-spiritual body through energy threads.

It has to be said that the effect of the ”Cocoon of Evolution” talent is still so simple and crude. After meeting the conditions listed in it, a completely different aura immediately emerged around Ayou.

At the same time, Russell also received the message that the domain understanding was completed:

”Your pet beast combines various abilities...successfully mastered exclusive domain skills!”

Looking at Ayou’s information bar again, Russell found that several of the skills he had originally comprehended and advanced had disappeared, and instead were combined into a new skill that had been unlocked - the primary netherworld domain.

”Elementary Nether Realm:
When the ghost skill is released, the remaining energy will form a mist. When the mist reaches a certain concentration, it will automatically search for the enemy locked by the releaser, reduce its visibility and energy resistance, and cause ghost toxin poisoning.

When in the Nether Realm, the power of ghost skills and shadow control abilities increase, and energy continues to be restored when the enemy’s vitality is lost. ”

After seeing the effects of this new field, Russell’s breathing began to become rapid.

To put it simply, the so-called Nether Realm directly combines the disappearing ethereal power, Netherworld poison and primary night field skills to achieve the outrageous effect of the trinity.

It affects hit points, weakens energy resistance, and poisons opponents. Incidentally, it can also improve its attributes and continuously restore mana...

Moreover, this is only a ”primary” effect.

Russell recalled all the field skill effects he had seen in the materials, and came to the conclusion that this field could at least rank among the top five.

Even though the records of the Southern Principality are classified as a tidal dragon, which can forcibly turn a space into an ocean in the ”Sea of ​​Parade” field, it does not seem to have such a comprehensive bonus effect in its primary form.

The most perverted thing is that this lethal field also comes with an effect that autonomously locks on the affected target.

In other words, even if the energy participation in the field is already relatively strong, as long as Ayou always targets the opponent’s pet beast, his own side will not be affected at all.

In this way, the Nether Realm is no longer just a supplement to Ayou’s personal show of combat power, but can be regarded as a strategic skill.

Thinking that he would soon be involved in a special operation to round up the fire thieves, and having such a powerful group fighting skill beside him, Russell felt a little more confident.
