Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 1084: Chapter 518: Penetrating Silk Spider and Corrosion Mother Gu!_2
 

Lin Wei and Hu Xu had been putting their utmost effort in nurturing Hu Tao, yet their expectations for Hu Tao were not particularly high.

They did not wish for Hu Tao to become the Cream of the Crop, only hoping that Hu Tao would grow up healthy and happy.

When Hu Tao saw Gedong nodding to her, she also smiled and waved to Gedong.

She then summoned both the Barrier Silver Phoenix and the Retrace Sparrow Demon.

Hu Tao lacked the ability of Fang Mu’s Destiny Beast, Fool’s Shadow, which could directly see through the opponents’ Guardian Beasts’ skills and exclusive features.

Hu Tao could only rely on her keen combat experience and battlefield instincts to respond wholeheartedly to every opponent.

As soon as Hu Tao summoned her Guardian Beasts, the cheers from the crowd were a few degrees louder than before.

This was enough to show that Hu Tao’s popularity outstripped that of Gedong’s.

The Barrier Silver Phoenix spread its wings, assisting Hu Tao with the Skill [City Wing].

The Retrace Sparrow Demon perched on Hu Tao’s shoulder.

The arrival of Hu Tao’s signature Guardian Beasts made it difficult to hear Gedong’s fans’ cheers in the entire Silver Palace.

Seeing this one-sided cheering situation, Fu Yang, the head coach of the Jinhai Club sitting in the audience, did not show any negative expressions on his face; on the contrary, he was particularly happy.

Gedong was merely leeching off of Hu Tao’s popularity.

The higher Hu Tao’s popularity, the more he would gain once Gedong defeated her.

Highly popular stars on the Battle Network often faced backlash in the event of a loss.

Fu Yang’s confidence in Gedong was not only due to the two Guardian Beasts Gedong had summoned.

It also had a lot to do with Gedong’s own Destiny Guardian Beast as well as the Will Rune he had comprehended.

Whether it was the Destiny Guardian Beast or the Will Rune, Gedong had never revealed them in public even if he had lost before.

This duel was the perfect opportunity for Gedong to showcase his talent!

Fu Yang’s calculations were precise, but Gedong in the Arena had not thought so much about it.

He had already fully entered the combat state.

Gedong obtained the resources he had now thanks to the Jinhai Club.

But it mainly depended on his own family.

Otherwise, why would the Jinhai Club invest so many resources in a newcomer like him?

A Grade B Club Guild could easily recruit a genius, and even those with higher potential than him wouldn’t be able to get the club to nurture their Guardian Beasts to the level that he had achieved without a good reason.

Gedong was a fighting fanatic with a fixation, enjoying the pleasure that the act of fighting itself brought him.

The cheers from the crowd and fame were merely side dishes to his enjoyment of the battle for Gedong.

Gedong had already put all his thoughts into the battle itself.

As the Barrier Silver Phoenix spread its wings to protect Hu Tao, Gedong loudly issued commands to the Penetrating Silk Spider.

“Penetrating Silk Spider, activate Multiplication Dominant Body!”

“Corrosion Mother Gu, fuse with the Penetrating Silk Spider, then breed a large number of soldier gu!”

As a streamer, Gedong was in the habit of calling out skills and exclusive features for the sake of the live stream while fighting.”

The originally not-so-large Penetrating Silk Spider dissolved the abdomen crystals stored within its body, swelling like an inflating balloon.

It grew from the size of a soccer ball to be even bigger than a sedan!

A three-meter body length among Golden Stage spider Guardian Beasts was enough to describe it as colossal.

An intense, pale red energy surged on the surface of the Penetrating Silk Spider’s body.

This energy contained violent blood energy fluctuations, making the Penetrating Silk Spider look extremely menacing.

The Corrosion Mother Gu directly rushed onto the Penetrating Silk Spider.

It swiftly built a nest on the Penetrating Silk Spider’s back, which was covered with stinging hairs.

A multitude of larvae crawled out of the nest, which was large enough to cover the Corrosion Mother Gu.

These larvae kept growing, eventually reaching the size that the Penetrating Silk Spider was before it multiplied its size.

A yellow-green, sticky insect fluid gushed out from the temporary superstructure built by the Corrosion Mother Gu.

Soon this insect fluid formed a thick carapace on the most vulnerable part of the Penetrating Silk Spider’s abdomen, fundamentally enhancing the Penetrating Silk Spider’s Defense Capability.

Gedong’s commands, alongside the actions of the Corrosion Mother Gu and the Penetrating Silk Spider, were exceptionally fluid and visually spectacular.

Gedong’s series of operations finally allowed cheers for him to be heard in the crowd again.

Hearing the audience’s praise for Gedong, Fang Mu first nodded and then shook his head

Fang Mu’s nod was in recognition of Gedong’s combat quality.

Facing Hu Tao’s display of strongest form right from the start was a sensible choice.

Fang Mu shook his head because there were issues with the combination of skills and exclusive features of Gedong’s Penetrating Silk Spider, as well as in its cultivation.

If there were a Master-level Creator to help Gedong strengthen this Penetrating Silk Spider,

they could have avoided these issues.

To put it plainly, the Abdomen Crystal within the Penetrating Silk Spider is an energy compression body formed by the daily accumulation of energy, and there’s only one of it.

Therefore, the Penetrating Silk Spider’s skill “Abdomen Crystal Spray” and its exclusive feature “Multiplication Dominant Body” could only be used one at a time.

The Penetrating Silk Spider would usually consume Metal Spiritual Materials, which amplify the effects of its skills and features.

However, the Metal Attribute of the Penetrating Silk Spider is not very pronounced.

The Penetrating Silk Spider inherently has Armor Break effects.

Thus, during the breeding process, it would be best to maximize the Penetrating Silk Spider’s Armor Break effect.

Gedong’s line-up of Guardian Beasts revealed his depth of resources.

He had depth but not abundance.

Fang Mu was now capable of discerning a Beast Conqueror’s depth of resources through their Guardian Beasts.

Members of the major powers likely also used this method to distinguish among themselves.

Unlike Gedong’s side, which was making a big show.

On the other hand, Hu Tao didn’t make many moves, just quickly moved towards the middle of the field under the coordinated defense of the Barrier Silver Phoenix.

Hu Tao’s actions caused Gedong’s eyebrows to furrow deeply.

Gedong had watched Hu Tao’s duels and knew his Destiny Guardian Beast had spiritual defense capabilities.

Yet Gedong still didn’t want Hu Tao to get close.

Because Gedong didn’t know how powerful the mental attack unleashed by Hu Tao’s Bird demon was.

After all, Fairies are known for their spiritual power.

Defensive Beast Conquerors in battle indeed lack any fancy tricks.

After the Barrier Silver Phoenix grew ‘City Wing’, it applied the Skill [Solid Guard] to both Hu Tao and itself.

The Exclusive Features ‘Thorny Feather Crown’ and ‘Suffering Siphon’, two passive abilities, were always active.

Because Gedong’s Gold Rank, Epic Quality Corrosion Mother Gu had the Exclusive Feature [Accelerated Breeding], the soldier bugs quickly filled the gaps in the Insect Armor of the Penetrating Silk Spider’s abdomen.

A massive number of soldier bugs emerged, swarming around the Penetrating Silk Spider.

These bugs moved extremely fast and had strong leaping abilities.

In just a few moments, they had jumped onto the Barrier Silver Phoenix and continuously attacked it.

On the side, Hu Tao stealthily applied the Skill [Retrospective Attention] and [Backtracking Double].

The rank of these soldier bugs was almost the same as the mother bug’s, strong enough to breach the Barrier Silver Phoenix’s defenses.

But they couldn’t inflict any significant actual damage to the Barrier Silver Phoenix.

The shield provided by [Retrospective Attention] didn’t have any defensive functions as such; it was more like a layer of stance-loaded energy around the body, making it very difficult to detect.

The incessant attacks by the soldier bugs made the movements of the Barrier Silver Phoenix seem somewhat sluggish.

Fang Mu knew this was the effect of the Corrosion Mother Gu’s Gold Level Skill [Paralysis Cut].

At this moment, the Penetrating Silk Spider came close and sprayed a [Silver Thread Liquid Bomb] onto the Barrier Silver Phoenix.

The high-strength sticky spider silk restrained the Barrier Silver Phoenix’s movements.

A Defensive Beast of Perfect Quality at Gold Rank Eight was strong enough to wrestle with a Legendary Quality Guardian Beast at Gold Rank One.

Despite a series of attacks, the Barrier Silver Phoenix relied on its Exclusive Feature [Thorny Feather Crown] and [Suffering Siphon] to still stand in front of Hu Tao.

Retrace Sparrow Demon let out a cry, its Skill [Sparrow’s Call] speeding up the energy recovery within the Barrier Silver Phoenix.

Gedong didn’t want to be at a stalemate with Hu Tao; he wanted to seize this opportunity to kill the Barrier Silver Phoenix.

If the Barrier Silver Phoenix were killed, Hu Tao would no longer be a match for him.

Thinking this, Gedong shouted forcefully,

“Penetrating Silk Spider, suppress the Phoenix in front of you!”

“Then bleed this Phoenix good!”

As he gave the command, two identical mystic runes appeared at Gedong’s fingertips, eliciting astonishment from the audience.

If Gedong had just comprehended two mystic runes, that would have been fine.

But the two mystic runes Gedong comprehended were identical!
