Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 475 - 460: Ambush (Part 3)

Before leaving the storeroom, Li Cunxu used his Spiritual Power to fish out the Yin Rat Demon from the nutrient jar.

The Yin Rat Demon showed a terrified expression on its face, and the fearful rat face unexpectedly invoked a sense of pity.

Its subtly nuanced performance talent left Li Cunxu deeply impressed.

"Truly clever and theatrically inclined."

Li Cunxu grabbed the Yin Rat Demon and tossed it into the beast pouch.

Li Cunxu took the Yin Rat Demon away, not intending to contract it or covet its legendary talent, [Yao Intelligence], but to remove a hidden danger for people.

In fact, a Yin Rat Demon with Yao Intelligence is the least suitable as a contracted pet beast; even if someone gave Li Cunxu a Legendary·Emperor-level resource, he would not contract it.

Anyone who covets its talent and contracts it is bound to suffer a backlash.

Demon pets inherently have the habit of devouring their masters, and those that are exceptionally intelligent are even more prone to plotting against their Beast Masters at all times, until the Beast Master falls to their schemes.

History also proves this point, demon pets with Yao Intelligence should never be contracted, not even by giants, not even by emperors, as they cannot withstand its calculations.

A Giant Beastmaster from the Age of Giants thought his immense power could make a demon pet with Yao Intelligence submit to him, but it backfired; that Yao Intelligence demon killed him and hollowed out his brain, turning him into a puppet.

Yes, giants can also be Beast Masters, but most giants are so powerful in their own right that they disdain raising pet beasts when the resources could be used for themselves, so there was no need to share them with pet beasts.

Therefore, the Beast Taming Dao didn’t flourish in the hands of giants, and Giant Beastmasters were few and far between.

In the late Age of Giants, the Titan Divine King angered the world will, which then imposed a punishment that from then on, the giant race could no longer become Beast Masters and instead became pet beasts contracted by Beast Masters.

Why is removing the Yin Rat Demon with Yao Intelligence considered removing a hidden danger for people?

As long as demon pets kill, they receive rewards from the will of Hell and their potential is enhanced.

The different targets of the killing lead to varying levels of rewards.

The highest rewards are for killing dragons and giants, followed by this era’s Overlords, the Human Race.

Therefore, if this Yin Demon Rat with Yao Intelligence grows, it will undoubtedly take up the butcher’s knife against humans.

Li Cunxu is almost certain that once this Yin Demon Rat grows to its later stages, several cities will be destroyed because of it, with millions dying as a result.

History offers similar experiences as reference.

That Yao Intelligence demon from the Age of Giants, after countering and killing that Emperor Giant Beastmaster, orchestrated a historic giant war by creating conflicts and manipulating wars in secret, leading to a million giant casualties due to its war conspiracy.

How many giants were there back then? Only five million giants.

The giant race lost a fifth of their kind because of a Yao Intelligence demon.

Afterward, relying on its fiendish cunning, the Yao Intelligence demon fooled the giant deities and then retreated back to Hell unharmed while being hunted by the giant pantheon, thus becoming a Demon God.

"The Sima Family is really something, despite the clear lessons of history, they created such a monstrous demon pet and didn’t execute it on the spot."

Guided by a researcher, Li Cunxu came to the storeroom where the failed modified demon pets were kept.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Cunxu’s gaze fixed on a green nutrient tank, not shifting his sight.

Inside the nutrient tank, a small whale the size of a football happily swam in the nutrient solution; upon sensing the door open, the small whale looked at it with curious, large eyes. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

From the eyes of the small whale, Li Cunxu saw pure goodness.

In the eyes of a demon pet, he saw an incredibly clean goodness.

At this moment, Li Cunxu was very certain that this small whale was the tenth pet beast he wanted to contract.

Li Cunxu examined its profile.

[Pet Beast]: Fear Demon Whale

[Attribute]: Light type, Spirit, Demon.

[Level]: Iron III

[Talent]: Heart of Utter Goodness (Purple)

[State]: Severely depleted lifespan (remaining lifespan of three years)

[Skills]: Angel Holy Light, Fear Whale Roar.

[Potential]: Low-grade Silver

[Description]: A demon pet modified with the blood of Good Angels, where the blood of Good Angels and Demon’s Blood conflicted, severely depleting lifespan and potential.

Li Cunxu noticed the first thing was the Heart of Utter Goodness talent.

A pet beast possessing the Heart of Utter Goodness will always have a kind heart, never turning evil, while also bestowing unparalleled affinity when interacting with other beings.

This talent pairs well with the Demon Banquet Eucharist.

Consuming the Demon Banquet Eucharist will increase lifespan, but with drawbacks; consuming it amplifies emotions like pride, wrath... However, with the Heart of Utter Goodness, consuming the Demon Banquet Eucharist comes without drawbacks.

So why does Li Cunxu prefer to choose a demon pet with the Heart of Utter Goodness talent over an entire race of angels who inherently possess this talent?

Angels consuming the Demon Banquet Eucharist experience no drawbacks, don’t they?

Indeed, angels face no drawbacks from it, but increasing their lifespan is pointless for them.

Angels themselves have a very long life, naturally belonging to the long-lived races, with an average lifespan of five thousand years; without the Demon Banquet Eucharist, they could still outlive their Beast Masters.

Moreover, if a good-doing angel dies and performed many good deeds in life, they might reincarnate as the immortal species of Holy Spirit Angels.

Enhancing the lifespan of angels offers no significant benefit; on the contrary, increasing the lifespan of a demon pet is extremely beneficial, as demon pets possess many powerful skills that expend their lifespan, and enhancing their lifespan allows them to exert a thousand percent of their power.

Additionally, Li Cunxu knows a demon-type lifespan-consuming divine skill. Combining that skill with the Demon Banquet Eucharist, he is confident he can cultivate an Emperor-level demon pet in a very short time.

"Only three years left and its potential is just low-grade Silver; no wonder, it’s considered a defective product."

Seeing the three-year lifespan, Li Cunxu directly disregarded it; even if it only had an hour of life left, he could save it with the Demon Banquet Eucharist.

As for its low-grade potential, that’s even less of an issue for Li Cunxu; back when Xiaoruan’s talent was a hundred times worse than this, now there’s hope for empire-level greatness.

What is of little concern to Li Cunxu is a severe issue for the research facility.

In their eyes, the modification of the Fear Demon Whale is a complete and utter failure.

Each mature Fear Demon Whale should naturally have Venerable King-level strength, and now, maturity only reaches Silver; if that isn’t failure, what is?

Regarding the talent, its alteration is also a colossal failure.

The Fear Demon Whale tribe’s innate talent [Fear Colossal Body (Purple)], allows absorption of fear emotions, enlarging its body accordingly, rendering its combat power more terrifying as its body size increases.

With Fear Colossal Body replaced by the Heart of Utter Goodness, which provides no combat bonuses, the researcher responsible for modifying the Fear Demon Whales regrets the transformation.

Li Cunxu removed his invisibility cloak, revealing himself in front of the small demon whale.

The small demon whale was startled by the sudden appearance, recoiling slightly but couldn’t resist its curiosity, approaching and scrutinizing with its large, inquisitive eyes.
