Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 319 - 294: Slime Ranch?

"Isn’t this the kind of Space Ring with multiple layers of encryption?"

Li Cunxu scrutinized the Pupil Demon’s Space Ring with suspicion.

In the game, Li Cunxu had encountered such multi-encrypted Space Rings before. After erasing the spiritual imprint, there’s a password. Upon entering the correct password, there’s fingerprint verification, followed by iris verification. Li Cunxu had to complete tasks for several months before he could unlock the ring. Of course, the contents in such well-protected rings never disappointed Li Cunxu.

"The more secure the protection, the better the contents inside. However, right now I can’t ask the Pupil Demon for the password, nor can I find him. He’s been teleported somewhere unknown."

A few days passed, and the always-silent Void Seven-Star Ladybug suddenly spoke.

"The Ancient Slumbering Dragon has gone to sleep."

"Great, let’s go quickly!" Li Cunxu said.

"I must remind you, once you leave, coming back will be troublesome. I can’t observe if the Ancient Slumbering Dragon is asleep from outside the small world. If it’s not asleep and I bring you in again, it would be like sending a sheep into a wolf’s den."

"I understand."

"Then are you leaving?"

"Yes."

This small world, populated mostly by ancient dragons, is incredibly resource-rich, but it lacks the pure crystals that Li Cunxu needs the most.

Moreover, this map is too advanced, leaving not much room for Li Cunxu to maneuver.

Li Cunxu said, "By the way, senior, you’ve noted down the spatial coordinates, right?"

"I have."

"Then let’s go!"

The next moment, Li Cunxu vanished from that small world.

During the spatial traversal, Li Cunxu heard an angry dragon’s roar coming from behind.

Returning to the Divine Beast World, the Void Seven-Star Ladybug took Li Cunxu through several spatial jumps before stopping.

"It’s safe now. You’ll have to walk back on your own from here."

Li Cunxu said, "Okay, senior, just now, that dragon’s roar?"

The Void Seven-Star Ladybug said, "Just as you thought, it was the Ancient Slumbering Dragon’s voice. It came out to chase us. But don’t worry, we’ve gone far enough that it can’t catch us.

Next time you return to that small world, be careful. The Ancient Slumbering Dragon might remember your scent."

Li Cunxu spent half a month traversing the wilderness, searching for a human city. During this time, he’d avoid the strong and fight the weak; the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon was the happiest—it benefited greatly from combat and wished for such intense growth every day.

Upon returning to the city, the first thing Li Cunxu did was open a hotel room, enjoy a comfortable hot bath, and then have a good sleep.

Only the next morning did he check his messages on his phone.

There was a message from Li Anle, informing him that Li Shiji had gone missing. The day Li Shiji disappeared was the same day Li Cunxu was attacked by the King Baiyu.

Li Cunxu and Li Shiji had anticipated this outcome.

If their enemies dared to target Li Cunxu, naturally they were confident enough to target Li Shiji as well.

Li Cunxu made a video call to a trusted account—answering the call was a calico cat, its pupils displaying a bizarre Demon Lotus.

Li Shiji was possessed by the calico cat.

Seeing that Li Cunxu was safe, the calico cat visibly relaxed.

"Grandpa, how are you doing?"

"They summoned a Pure White Divine Tiger to purify my original thoughts, preventing any resurrection or escape attempts. They’ve got me under control."

Li Cunxu said, "Li Anle has a pure white cub related to the Pure White Divine Tiger. Their tribe has very few members, so if Li Anle’s cub pleads for you, that Pure White Divine Tiger might show mercy."

"No need, I’m fine, I’ve been caught on purpose. But you, attacked by those Kings—I’ll avenge you once I’m free."

"The Left and Right Pirate Kings and the King Baiyu."

Li Cunxu recounted his encounter with the attack and his abduction by the Pupil Demon, and he reminded Li Shiji to be wary of the Pupil Demon.

Li Shiji’s Demon Lotus Eye was something the Pupil Demon covets deeply. Given the chance, the Pupil Demon would certainly target Li Shiji.

Li Cunxu also shared the spatial coordinates of the small world filled with numerous ancient dragon pets, passing them to Li Shiji.

The small world held little value for Li Cunxu but great value for Li Shiji.

Inside the small world were many excellent ancient dragon pets, and what Li Shiji lacked most were high-quality pets. He could gain a significant boost there.

Li Shiji said, "Give me an address, so I can send you pure crystals."

Li Cunxu replied, "Send them to the Hidden Dragon Temple in Ice City. I’ll be settling down there."

Ice City, a third-rate small city located near the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land, is significantly limited in development.

The Divine Concealment Forbidden Land, formed by a thousand-layered small world, poses the risk of simply walking in and falling into any of numerous worlds, becoming trapped.

Even space-type creatures are useless; spatial skills are heavily suppressed by the unique environment of the thousand-layered world in the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land.

Weaker space creatures, those below the lord level, can’t even use their spatial skills inside the thousand-layered world.

The barriers between worlds are exceedingly tough; space creatures of a King level or higher are required to break through them.

Crossing barriers might offer minor aid in escaping the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land, but not much. Crossing from one small world merely leads to another, arranged in a circular sequence, continuously looping.

Even Kings and Venerable Kings face a high likelihood of getting lost in the thousand-layered world of the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land, while Monarchs can forcibly tear spatial fabric to escape.

The Divine Concealment Forbidden Land imposes huge restrictions on Ice City but also grants some benefits.

For example, the Four Evil Gods Sects considered Ice City might someday be consumed by the expanding Forbidden Land and deemed it worthless, sparing the need for planting spies.

Without the interference of the Four Evil Gods Sects, Ice City has remained stable for a long time, boasting the best public safety in the entire alliance.

Li Cunxu’s intent in settling at Ice City is threefold.

First, to settle down calmly in Ice City.

Secondly, to plot something with a special Space Ring.

This Space Ring can pass through the Divine Ice Storm on the outskirts of Ice City without being damaged by the storm.

Finally, Li Cunxu has his eyes on the thousand-layered small world of the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land.

The thousand-layered small world is perfectly suited for the Slime race to propagate and thrive.

What is a forbidden land to others becomes his Slime Ranch.

Li Cunxu even feels somewhat regretful that he didn’t think of such a suitable place for Slime propagation sooner.

"In reality, going to the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land too early might not be suitable. Native creatures won’t allow the Slime to grow unchecked and squeeze their own living spaces."

But now, it’s different for Li Cunxu.

The Three-Star Slimes have a Bronze-level strength. Native creatures trying to wipe out the Slime must be wary of their retaliation, provided the natives aren’t too strong themselves.
