Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Where did you find it? I’m going too!

“Could it expand its body? True, the sludge monster could change its body according to its surroundings.”
Seeing the Ink Dragon Louse continuously spinning within Gamma’s body unable to escape its control, and slowly being dissolved by the sludge monster, Xiao Yuan’s face did not show the slightest bit of urgency.
“Ink Dragon Louse, use Divide!’1
The Ink Dragon Louse’s movements paused. The shadow spikes that were previously pointing outward suddenly reversed their direction, and it split itself into several parts. Before Bai Qi could register his surprise, a new individual had formed from each piece.
Well, this Xiao Yuan sure knew how to play the game.
Seeing the Ink Dragon Louse multiplying in this way, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up instantly.
The division skill seemed quite suitable for Gamma.
While Bai Qi was pondering where to acquire the division skill from, the Ink Dragon Lice had already launched their new rounds of attack on Gamma. Two even managed to break through Gamma’s blockade and attacked Gamma from outside its body.
However, Gamma didn’t care about those divisions but still firmly trapped the Ink Dragon Louse’s main body. At the same time, a green halo quickly spread around Gamma and stopped only about fifty meters away.
Then, both the main body of the Ink Dragon Louse trapped inside Gamma and the divisions outside began to slowly turn green.
Corrosion + Deadly Poison Aura.
This was a skill that Gamma came with even before it was bound by a contract. It was only of intermediate level, but when combined with Deadly Poison Aura, the effects were surprisingly good.
Corrosion damaged the opponent’s external armor; the Deadly Poison Aura seeped toxins in. Given time, poisoning an opponent to death was not a dream.
“Poison skills?”
Seeing the green halo spreading out from Gamma, Xiao Yuan’ s eyebrows raised.
In just a short time, the originally red-hot magma had been completely dyed green by the Deadly Poison Aura, with a bubble rising from it from time to time, making it extraordinarily eerie.
Forced to level up to the second stage and become a high-grade elite, the effects of the Deadly Poison Aura had far surpassed its original state.
However, despite this, Xiao Yuan was still not in the least bit panicked, he said, “I’m sorry, but this level of poison can’t keep up with the recovery speed of the
Ink Dragon Louse.”
Due to the expansion of its volume, the area of Gamma’s body that was in contact with the magma also expanded correspondingly. At this moment, it was quite clear that Gamma’s body was being burned by the magma.
On the contrary, the Ink Dragon Louse, which was completely corroded by Gamma, as soon as the armor on its body was corroded, it instantly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Skill Name]: Limb Regeneration
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Skill Description]: Can repair injured, broken limbs and even internal organs, restoring them to their original state.
The Berserk skill could cause damage to the pets, but with this Limb Regeneration ability, the damage suffered by the Ink Dragon Louse could almost be quickly recovered.
Even when facing an attack from an enemy, the Ink Dragon Louse could completely give up its defense to attack.
Because there was simply no need to.
“I admit that your sludge monster is well-trained, such strong defense power coupled with this poison skill, it can definitely shine in group battles.”
“Unfortunately, you’re actually protecting my Ink Dragon Louse. On the contrary, your sludge monster will eventually be melted by the magma.”
“If you don’t have any other active attack skills, you won’t be able to defeat my
Ink Dragon Louse.”
Strong sustained fighting power and short-term Berserk talent were not the only reasons Xiao Yuan could overpower Zhou Yan.
Although the Tower of Competition would balance the double level of both pets, things like skill proficiency couldn’t be balanced.
It was clear at a glance that Bai Qi’s sludge monster had just recently mastered poison skills, at most they were at the entry-level proficiency, while his Ink Dragon Louse’s proficiency in limb regeneration was already at perfection.
The moment Bai Qi wanted to engage in a war of attrition with him, the outcome was already predetermined.
“That remains to be seen.”
Bai Qi hooked up the corner of his mouth in a wicked smile. Seeing Xiao Yuan, who was obviously also planning to play a protracted battle, he took out the Rune Rubik’s Cube and started playing with it.
“This guy…”
Seeing Bai Qi’s nonchalance, Xiao Yuan was somewhat speechless, but he didn’t say anything else and just silently watched the battle in the arena.
“Ah… have they finished fighting?”
After a while, an audience member slowly woke up and saw no difference in the screen from when he fell asleep. He couldn’t help but ask the person next to him.
“Um… they seem able to fight for a day.”
By this moment, more than an hour had passed since the duel started. The Ink Dragon Louse’s divisions were completely annihilated by the deadly poison and magma, while the main body was still restrained by Gamma. It occasionally released shadow power within Gamma’s body, but Gamma’s Deadly Poison Aura had not defeated the Ink Dragon Louse’s Limb Regeneration, nor had it been melted by the magma below.
Maybe even Gamma’s spirit was better than at the beginning.
“What is the situation with your sludge monster? How does it have so much energy!”
This Xiaoyuan was no longer the composed and confident person he had been at the beginning, with disbelief filling his eyes.
This was the first time that a peer could match him in a war of attrition.
No, looking at Gamma, which was becoming more and more courageous, it seemed that the Ink Dragon Louse was at a disadvantage.
“Huh? Hasn’t it ended yet?”
Because he was bored, Bai Qi, who was playing with the Rune Rubik’s Cube, suddenly reacted to Xiao Yuan’s words. Looking at his own pet and his opponent’s pet, still at a stalemate, he couldn’t help but yawn.
Indeed, Gamma had a lot of Energy Value, even more so after being strengthened. However, it was able to last this long thanks in large part to its Energy Absorption.
The perfectly refined Energy Absorption ability would draw a portion of the energy value from the Ink Dragon Lice during Limb Regeneration to replenish itself.
In a way, at least half of Gamma’s energy consumption was provided by the Ink Dragon Lice.
[Name]: Poison Devouring Monster (Gamma)
[Nature]: Alien Series (Physical Mutation)
[Growth Level]: First Stage Second Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite
[Racial skills]: Energy Absorption (Perfect), Mimicry (Perfect), Corrosion (Proficient), Toxin Resistance (Proficient), Blazing Resistance (Skilled), Radiation Resistance (Skilled), Current Resistance (Skilled), Frozen Resistance (Beginner), Flame Resistance (Skilled), Shadow Resistance (Skilled), Deadly Poison Aura (Beginner)
Two resistance skills have reached the skilled level, perhaps this can be considered a free practice?
Seeing Bai Qi looking like this, Xiao Yuan kept silent. Due to the suppression of the Bloodline Level, the Ink Dragon Lice could not use its Super Skill at all, and obviously, it couldn’t cause damage to Gamma with the skills it had now.
If there weren’t any unexpected circumstances, this battle was likely going to end in a draw.
Think about it, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and was about to suggest a draw, but suddenly felt a call for help coming from the Ink Dragon Lice. Before he could respond, Gamma had spit out the Ink Dragon Lice.
Ka-pu Ka-pu.
(Master, I cannot eat anymore.)
Gamma belched contentedly and then fell into a deep sleep in the magma. The Ink Dragon Lice on the opposite side wanted to get up, but in the end, it slumped down.
It hadn’t experienced a severe battle, but its energy value had been completely depleted.
To put it simply, it was exhausted.
“Energy absorbed? So that’s it. Was it an Energy Absorption type skill?” Xiao Yuan felt the information transmitted by the Ink Dragon Lice, finally understood, returned the Ink Dragon Lice to the Beast Control Space, and once again recovered his usual smile.
“I lost this match.”
When they heard Xiao Yuan admit his loss, the audience was silent.
Xiao Yuan, who had never lost since becoming a Beast Master, actually admitted defeat?
Is this Bai Qi really that powerful?
“I had an advantage, or else Gamma would never have been a match for Ink
Dragon Lice.”
Even though he won the match, Bai Qi was not proud.
He was well aware that the Ink Dragon Lice’s combat power was definitely not just this.
With such strong endurance, if it could use super skills, with Gamma’s current state, even if it was forcibly promoted, it would not be a match for Ink Dragon
Lice.
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, “A loss is a loss, and you reminded me of something.”
“I pay too much attention to high and even super skills, once I encounter a situation like today, the pet has a lot of energy but can’t show its full combat power.”
“After going back this time, I will train the pet’s low-level skills. Saying this, Xiao Yuan bowed deeply to Bai Qi and said solemnly, “I have learned a lot!”
Huh, is this what a genius is? They can gain insight from everything. Bai Qi scratched his head, but also approved of Xiao Yuan’s words. There are always some limitations to the use of Super Skills, not to mention others, the terrifying energy consumption determines that they cannot be used as regular skills.
That being said, the problem of improving the proficiency of these skills is also a hassle.
It’s okay for Alpha and the Husky, their skills are not many, but the passive skills of this slime monster are somewhat terrifying.
It would be nice to have a Skill Machine, to quickly increase the proficiency. After the match was over, both of them returned to the field one after another, and Zhou Yan and others who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded them.
“Well done, Bai Qi, even though you have just become a Third Stage Beast Master, you have cultivated such a powerful pet. Tell me, did someone give you special treatment?”
Zhou Yan hugged Bai Qi’s neck with an arm, her terrifying arm strength nearly took Bai Qi away until Bai Qiucha reminded her to let go.
“Cough cough cough… Sister Zhou, could you be gentler next time, the crime of attempting to kill a Beast Master is huge.
Bai Qi rubbed his neck, took a few deep breaths, and then began to recover his breath.
“I didn’t even use my strength yet, I don’t know howyou’ve managed to train these pets with your frail body,” Zhou Yan pouted and stopped touching him, but Bai Qi was feeling frustrated.
Speech prevailing over fists, I admit I’m weak!
Bai Qiucha said, “Bai Qi, tell us about this slime monster of yours, is it the Lord Creature given by the special training member?
Bai Qi shookhis head and said, “I haven’t gone to collect that one yet. Gamma was merely a stray creature and I’d just finished training it early.
