After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 268 Disaster

This is

 Chen Xing looked at the moon above his head.

 The mist from the distance came like light smoke, slowly and gently covering the moon.

The hazy moonlight penetrated the clouds, dappledly reflecting the bright moon that was slowly being eroded behind the sky.

The covering seemed to be an invisible giant mouth, or like a huge palm, slowly covering up the originally shining moon.

A trace of confusion flashed in Chen Xing's eyes. He vaguely felt that what covered the moon was not pure darkness, but a deep black and red, as if it was the solidified blood of the ages. The black was deep and thick, revealing a mysterious and ancient feeling. breath.

"The total lunar eclipse...is it actually ahead of schedule?" Chen Xing murmured to himself, full of doubts in his heart.

He thought that perhaps due to regional differences, the total lunar eclipse observed in this area came earlier than expected.

He stared at the moon above his head that was gradually being swallowed up by darkness. Ever since he stepped into this foreign land, he had been accompanied by this bright moon every night.

 The moon here is not much different from what he saw in Daxia, but in this world full of extraordinary power, the sun and moon have been given a more mysterious and noble status.

 In the past, Chen Xing found that the moon here was always shrouded in a hazy halo when looking up at the stars from a foreign land, as if a mysterious filter had been added to it, making it impossible for people to glimpse the deep scenery.

Even an extraordinary beast master with extraordinary eyesight cannot see through that hazy halo.

　　It is the moon on the blue star. People have set foot on it over the years. However, apart from the barren land, there is only endless desolation, as if it has died long ago.

"This lunar eclipse seems to be different from previous small lunar eclipses. The last time I saw this kind of red lunar eclipse in a foreign land was fifty years ago." Qiu Shangqing looked at the moon above his head, if there was any refers to.

Chen Xing asked, "Old Qiu, is there any difference between this lunar eclipse and an ordinary lunar eclipse?"

"Of course it's different. Ordinary lunar eclipses usually only cover an area of ​​at most a few territories. This kind of lunar eclipse is quite common and is only helpful to some special races. For example, some wolves who use the moon as their totem and believe in the moon Monsters need to evolve on the day of the lunar eclipse, or be used to perform certain special rituals."

“But this red lunar eclipse covers not only a few territories, but the entire foreign land can be seen, just like the moonlight a few days ago.”

"This kind of vision was almost invisible in the past, but it has become more and more frequent recently." Qiu Shangqing lamented, "There should be a deeper meaning behind every vision of heaven and earth in this foreign land. Unfortunately, for the entire foreign land, my vision is only drop in the ocean.

But what I know is that after the red lunar eclipse that enveloped the entire foreign land fifty years ago, the overall magic tide level in the foreign land increased by a certain amount, and it may be the same this time. " Qiu Shangqing said.

It is precisely because of higher magic tides than before that Daxia can catch up with the established forces in foreign lands as a latecomer.

 After listening to what Qiu Lao said, Chen Xing's heart froze. Is the red lunar eclipse different from the ordinary lunar eclipse? If it evolves, will it affect Taotie?

Chen Xing quickly recalled the knowledge related to evolution and quickly found the relevant precautions.

 The ritual can be performed no matter what the lunar eclipse is, and it will not affect the final result of the evolutionary ritual.

  But if the evolutionary ritual changes due to external factors, it has nothing to do with the ritual.

"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind." Qiu Shangqing noticed the strange look on Chen Xing's expression.

Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old Qiu, I accidentally obtained an evolutionary route for Taotie. The evolution ceremony needs to be held on the day of the lunar eclipse. If you miss this lunar eclipse, you have to wait until the next lunar eclipse. It may take another half a year.”

“Taotie’s new evolutionary route. That of the little crocodile?” Qiu Shangqing murmured.

He looked at Chen Xing thoughtfully. He remembered that Taotie was following his Canghai Emperor Crocodile route. Now he was preparing to change his evolutionary route?

But what made him curious was what evolutionary path would allow Chen Xing to give up the Canghai Emperor Crocodile.

 After all, he knows the strength of the Canghai Emperor Crocodile best, and it has overlord-level potential.

And there is a higher level route above. According to the foreign language, it is the totem level.

Although it is incomplete, it is still a grand road that can be followed.

 What makes him curious is whether he can change to other evolutionary routes after evolving into the Water Mongolian Greedy Crocodile.

Qiu Shangqing pondered, "Waiting for another half a year is indeed a long time. It's okay to wait until we cross the border and find a remote place to evolve."

As he spoke, Qiu Shangqing looked at the Heart of the Giant Spirit dragged under Si Xiang, "These are the items you need for evolution. It's really inconvenient to carry it with you. It's good to use it for evolution."

  Generally speaking, evolution takes between 15-60 minutes.

 As long as you find a suitable place in the wild and complete the evolution quickly enough, it won't cause too much noise.

 Chen Xing also considered this. If you carry the Heart of the Giant Spirit everywhere, accidents may easily occur. It is too big and eye-catching, so it is better to directly convert it into the power of controlling beasts.

 The group crossed the Yanjiang River and flew for half an hour before finding a hidden valley to land.

Qin Xuan said: "I looked at the map and the nearest city here is an hour and a half away from us."

Qiu Shangqing nodded, "I'll help you protect the law, and you can evolve."

 Chen Xing felt warm in his heart and did not talk nonsense.

Now half an hour has passed, and the moon in the sky above has become darker and darker, almost half of it has been eroded.

 Chen Xing couldn't help but recall the steps of evolution.

On the day of the lunar eclipse, dig open the center of your eyebrows, plant the dark thunder **** seed in the center of your eyebrows, swallow the heart of the giant spirit and blow the disaster conch, bear the world-suppressing monument, and withstand the baptism of disasters. If you survive the disaster and hang in the sky for nine days on the day of the lunar eclipse, you can transform into the eye of the giant beast.

 The first step is to open the eyebrows.

 Chen Xing took out the tools from the storage ring.

 Summons Taotie.

The giant beast descended into the valley, and countless snakes, rats, insects and ants fled in all directions, and some scattered monsters also fled.

 The valley is clear.

 Then with the help of Sixiang, it landed on the center of Taotie's eyebrows, and Chen Xing used a chisel to start digging at the center of his eyebrows.

Taotie's eyebrows began to be chiseled off bit by bit, but strangely no blood was left.

This is Chen Xing's ability to correct the pet's posture, which can slightly change the shape of the pet's head to a certain extent without damaging the root.

 Soon, the center of the eyebrow was cut open, leaving a hole the size of a bowl.

 Then Chen Xing took out the Cang Tian Ming Thunder God Seed and placed it between Taotie's eyebrows.

 Zizzizi~

Violent thunder light pulsed, Taotie let out a muffled groan and closed his eyes at the same time.

It felt like the center of its eyebrows was swollen, as if there was a landmine buried inside.

 Then swallow the djinn's heart.

Chen Xing looked at the giant spirit heart next to him and said to Qiu Shangqing, "Mr. Qiu, please help me clean up the giant spirit heart."

The Canghai Emperor Crocodile sitting at the mouth of the valley raised his eyes and waved his claws. Countless water columns surged in the void, cutting along the surface of the Giant Spirit's Heart, and a large amount of soil, sand and gravel attached to the surface were cut off.

The true body inside was finally exposed—a heart that was dark red in color and covered with black lines on its surface.

This heart is still beating, but the frequency is extremely slow, beating once every ten minutes, and the amplitude is extremely small. If Chen Xing's senses were not enhanced, he would not even notice this small beating.

 This Djinn's Heart is very large, nearly sixty meters high.

A normal beast wouldn't even be able to swallow it, and the giant spirit's heart is extremely hard and cannot be destroyed by ordinary means.

 So this can be regarded as an invisible hard condition.

 But fortunately, the Taotie is larger, opening its abyss-like mouth and swallowing the giant spirit's heart in one gulp.

 Then slowly slide it into the stomach pouch.

Taotie felt like her belly was full, and something was beating inside, as if she was pregnant with a baby.

not good! I'm a male crocodile!

Taotie suddenly shuddered and his eyes widened.

 Then he carries the world-suppressing monument and blows the conch of disaster.

 This conch cannot be blown by oneself.

 According to inherited knowledge, whoever blows will be baptized by disaster.

 So I can only brag!

Chen Xing took out the Zhenjie Divine Monument and placed it on Taotie's back.

Comparing to its current size, the World-Suppressing Monument is very small, but as long as everyone looks at it, all their attention will be attracted by the World-Suppressing Monument on its back.

Qiu Shangqing's mind was confused as to what that pale golden stone tablet was.

 It does not look like an ordinary thing.

 Chen Xing took out the conch of disaster and handed it to Taotie's mouth.

 Find a fixed position, and then let Si Xiang pull him back.

“Wait until the moon is completely covered by the lunar eclipse, then blow the conch of disaster in your mouth.” Chen Xing said to Taotie.

  “Dudu~”

Taotie wanted to open its mouth to respond, but the air surged out, and the conch of disaster in its mouth was blown out with two low sounds.

Taotie was startled.

"It's useless to blow it now. Only blowing it after the lunar eclipse can activate its effect." Chen Xing shook his head. This is one of the reasons why many people are unable to study the special purpose of the disaster conch and can only treat it as an ordinary high-level secret treasure. one.

On the day of the lunar eclipse, more wonderful sparks will burst out when paired with the Disaster Conch.

Under the gazes of Qiu Shangqing and Chen Xing, darkness continued to swallow the moon until the last trace of moonlight disappeared, and the whole world seemed to fall into chaos.

The valley where they were located also became more blurry, and the surrounding scenery seemed to be swallowed up by darkness.

In this gloomy night, the world-defying monument on Taotie's back gave off a faint light. Although the light is weak, it is like a bright light in the dark night.

Even the mysterious runes carved on the sacred monument are becoming more and more eye-catching.

Taotie blew the conch of disaster in his mouth.

The voice was deep and deep, completely different from the cheerful and bright beeping sound before.

This voice seemed to come from the abyss.

The sound of the conch echoed in the valley, and gusts of wind blew in the valley.

At the same time, the moon, which was engulfed by the lunar eclipse, also experienced strange changes.

At the same time, outside the mysterious palace above the moon, at some point the entire moon was covered with **** black mist, and a tall and vague figure loomed in the mist.

 In the palace, the white giant beast looked at the figure outside with vigilance.

 Although it knows that the other party cannot come in, it is still extremely vigilant.

 Because the personality of the other person is not inferior to his master in any way. To be precise, he is one and the same twin. Where there is light, there is darkness, and where there is the sun, there is the moon.

 But at this moment, a faint voice came from a distant place.

　　The tall figure in the mist suddenly trembled, as if it did not expect the sudden change.

 “No!! Who is plotting against me!”

 The being in the mist let out an angry roar, like thunder. But now it is not a complete body, let alone a full state. How could it activate the calamity at this time? The bit of origin it finally condensed directly turned into the nutrients of this calamity.

This is not the main thing. What is more important is that the success or failure of the disaster affects the foundation of its authority.

　　Bang!

 The existence in the mist exploded with a bang, and the red mist on the moon became more vivid.

 “The lunar eclipse disappeared!?”

Qin Xuan suddenly noticed that the moon above his head had changed.

“It hasn’t disappeared, it seems that something has changed.” Qiu Shangqing said, while his eyes fell on Taotie.

He would absolutely not believe it if the changes had nothing to do with Taotie.

 Because the moon began to change after the sound of the conch was heard. The timing was too coincidental.

 The darkness shrouding the moon's surface slowly recedes. The moon showed its face again, but this time it was not a pure white moon, but a strange and extremely scarlet moon!

The scarlet moon illuminates the earth, and under the **** color, the entire world is dyed red.

Chen Xing's face was solemn, he needed to survive the disaster with Taotie, but he just didn't know what the disaster was.

"Here it comes." Chen Xing seemed to notice something. He raised his head and saw countless black shadows falling in the sky above his head.

These black images appear out of thin air. They look like some kind of birds and beasts from a distance, but these birds and beasts are all white and composed of white bones.

 The only sound in the sky is the beating of their wings.

Densely packed white-bone birds and beasts fell from the sky, instantly covering Taotie. Looking from the outside, Taotie's figure was instantly covered.

Those white-bone birds and beasts flapped their wings one after another, landing on Taotie's body like messengers of darkness.

They frantically pecked at the gluttonous skin and flesh, as if they wanted to pierce it alive.

Taotie's always tough and thick skin was as fragile as a piece of paper under the sharp beaks of these white-bone birds and beasts.

 Each gentle peck can easily tear off a palm-sized piece of skin.

The severe pain caused Taotie's body to tremble involuntarily, and it let out a low roar.

 “Maelstrom!”

 With it as the center, a huge whirlpool shadow emerged in the surrounding void.

Even though this place is land, the water element in the air was instantly aroused, converging into a majestic wave shadow, sweeping violently in all directions.

However, these white-bone birds and beasts are like rocks standing on the shore. No matter how the huge waves roll, they remain motionless and unaffected at all.

 “Do you need help?” Qiu Shangqing asked Chen Xing.

 Chen Xing shook his head. According to the inherited knowledge of evolution, Taotie could only experience the disaster by himself.

  The intervention of external forces will affect the success or failure of the disaster, and will also greatly affect the evolution process of Taotie.

Three minutes later, all the white-bone birds and beasts dispersed, flapping their wings and disappearing into the night without a trace. It was unclear how they disappeared.

Only the **** flesh body of the Taotie was left in place, with all the skin peeled off.

 The steaming flesh and blood emitted a majestic heat wave, and the scarlet flesh was particularly dazzling under the blood moon.

 Chen Xing frowned, feeling a little unbearable in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed his inner emotions and couldn't interfere, and the materials needed for Taotie's evolution were all ready.

 If you intervene now, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Another sound came from the void. This time, many green flies appeared. These green flies were weird. The tails on their lower bodies were extremely long, like snake tails. There were sharp barbs at the tips. Each green fly had a slap. size.

The strange thing is that Chen Xing can't see the attribute panels of these green flies, just like the previous white-bone birds and beasts.

The invisible property panel can only explain two situations.

 1. These are not entities, but phantoms, just like you cannot see the attributes of the monsters in the photo through the photo.

  2. What you see is not their true form, they exist in another dimension.

These green flies are the same as the previous wave of bone birds and beasts, and Taotie's skills are still unable to cause damage to them.

They swooped over in a swarm, tying their tails on Taotie.

 Then the gluttonous flesh and blood continued to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rotten flesh and blood piled up like hills and fell to the ground.

 Chen Xing's heart trembled and he clenched his fists.

Three minutes later, there was only a white-bone giant beast covered with blood vessels in the valley, with mountains of rotten flesh around it.

　　The stomach of the giant beast was bulging, and there was a huge heart beating slowly inside.

 After corroding all flesh and blood, the greenfly blended into the night and disappeared mysteriously.

Qin Xuan's eyelids jumped when he saw this scene.

 Is this evolution? It’s too scary.

“Are you okay with controlling the beast?” Qin Xuan asked Chen Xing.

 Chen Xing shook his head slightly.

 Through the contract, he could sense that Taotie's vitality was still strong.

There was no sound from the sky this time. At this time, there was movement from the ground beneath our feet.

Countless white maggots burst out of the ground, exploding from the earth like a waterfall, covering Taotie's body.

These maggots attach themselves to the white bones. With a slight drill, the white bones fall straight away like powder.

 The giant white bones standing in the valley were eaten bit by bit, and eventually turned into powder all over the ground, leaving only some internal organs.

 After completing its mission, the maggots merged into the earth and disappeared.

As expected, the fourth wave hit.

 Are they targeting the internal organs this time?

 If all the internal organs disappear, what will be left? soul?

 But what’s amazing is that the Zhenjie Monument is still floating in the air, emitting a faint golden light.

There was another sound overhead, this time of many black bats flying around the guts.

 After a while, it was attached to the remaining internal organs.

 The internal organs withered and withered, turning into pieces of skin.

 The Heart of the Giant Spirit that was previously swallowed by Taotie was also exposed to the air, but at this moment some subtle changes occurred in the Heart of the Giant Spirit.

 The black lines on the surface spread out at some point, and the frequency of the heart beating became higher and higher.

  Could it be that the body of Taotie is to be re-hatched from the heart of the giant spirit?

Seeing this scene, Chen Xing made a guess in his heart.

 The fifth wave of attacks arrives.

These are countless shadows wearing tattered cloaks. Under the cloaks are transparent blue outlines.

Just when these shadows were about to attack, a deafening thunder suddenly came from the void.

This thunder resounded through the sky and spread thousands of miles around.

 The blue clouds overhead were frightened away, leaving a large void.

 Under the thunder, countless shadows in the void trembled for a moment.

 Suddenly, those blue bodies burst one after another, like blown balloons. The tattered cloak was like falling leaves in autumn, scattered in the valley, and disappeared after touching the ground.

About three minutes later, a clear ringing sound suddenly came from the distance, breaking the silence. The ringing sound was melodious, echoing across the empty plain, and seemed particularly abrupt.

 Under the **** moonlight, a strange figure appeared at the end of the plain.

It was a gopher, but it stood upright like a human being, carrying a package several times larger than itself. The package made of red cloth seemed to contain living things, and the things inside were squirming. .

As it squirms, outlines and shadows appear on the surface of the red cloth from time to time.

This gopher may seem slow and clumsy, but its speed is surprisingly fast. Like a gust of wind, it approached everyone quickly and steadily.

"I seem to have heard of this thing." Qiu Shangqing narrowed his eyes after seeing this kind of human gopher.

"There is an ancient legend somewhere in a foreign land. When a person dies, he will see the rat of death. The rat of death will take the deceased away, put it in a package behind it, and then take it to the underworld."

 Legend?

 Chen Xing immediately thought of the legendary road.

Could this gopher be the rat of death?

 At this moment, the Zhenjie Monument shone brightly.

Blooming golden light bloomed, and the infinite golden light shone on the surface of the gopher's body.

 Holes appeared on the surface of its body, and green smoke came out.

　　Seeing this, it stopped, raised its head, and looked at the Zhenjie Monument ahead with its cloudy eyes.

  She said nothing, but she also did not continue to act.

Chen Xing noticed something strange. The monsters attacking in this sixth wave were different from the previous five waves. They actually stopped.

 Could it be that it has intelligence?

The gopher stood there for a moment, then looked up at the red moon above his head.

 After a moment of silence, he took off the red cloth package he was carrying on his back.

He gently opened a corner, and the contents inside rushed out impatiently. Countless black shadows rushed towards Taotie. Looking carefully, these black shadows were clearly the souls of some monsters, but these souls looked ferocious and had red eyes. .

 After releasing some souls, the gopher tied the red cloth tightly and put it on his back again.

Without even looking at the outcome, he turned around and left in the direction he came from.

The intermittent ringing of bells echoed across the plains, getting further and further away.

 “These are undead creatures.” Qiu Shangqing said solemnly.

Undead creatures are quite rare in foreign lands. The main reason is that foreign lands generally do not have an environment to accommodate their survival. Without a living environment, it is difficult to develop and grow.

The town monument shone brightly again, and the undead creatures entered the area shrouded in light and turned into gray smoke and disappeared, leaving only some transparent light blue crystal powder in place.

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, waiting for the seventh wave to attack.

 But the seventh wave of attacks did not arrive for a long time.

Suddenly, from the red moon in the sky, a beam of red light spread all over the sky and covered the place where Taotie was!

　　Bang! Bang! Bang!

As time went by, dense cracks began to appear on the heart of the giant spirit, just like the fine lines blooming on the surface of broken porcelain.
