Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!

Actually, the name 'Fish Aversion Pearl' isn't well chosen. It doesn't just repel fish-type pet beasts, but also most marine life.

Li Cunxu said, "I'm taking this dragon egg, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. That's my word."

The Crystal Shrimp General's eyes sharpened, and it brandished its crystal spear with a powerful flourish.

"Then let's see who's stronger in a real fight!"

The Crystal Shrimp General hadn't witnessed Xiaoruan's endless barrage of spirit energy, and thought it could exhaust Xiaoruan to death.

Li Cunxu smiled and took a few steps back.

"I'm not fighting you. If you dare to come at me, I dare to run. If I run, I'll call for backup to deal with you. No need for King-level, just a Lord-level helper will be enough to handle you."

Li Cunxu then waved the ring on his finger in front of the Crystal Shrimp General.

The Crystal Shrimp General's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Li Cunxu said, "You can't do anything to me, but I can do something to you..."

He originally wanted to say, "You should just obediently come with me!"

But Li Cunxu felt it was a bit inappropriate. Why did his words sound like a villain's? Speaking like that could easily lead to trouble.

It wasn't like the Crystal Shrimp General had no way to deal with Li Cunxu. It still had the Overlord-level Crystal Dragon's treasure hoard, which most likely contained offensive treasures.

Li Cunxu speculated that the owner of this Crystal Palace, the Crystal Dragon, was Overlord-level.

The supporting evidence was the Crystal Shrimp General, who was Lord-level nine before losing its level. As the Crystal Shrimp General's master, the Crystal Dragon couldn't be weaker than the Crystal Shrimp General, and the Crystal Palace's specifications weren't King-level, so the Crystal Dragon's level could only be Overlord-level, somewhere between Lord-level and King-level.

Li Cunxu seized the opportunity and added another sentence.

"Besides, you don't have much of a choice. Next time I bring people here, there won't be a contract to guarantee anything."

The Crystal Shrimp General argued stubbornly, "I can move. If I can't afford to provoke you, I can afford to hide."

Li Cunxu's smile grew even wider, "I don't believe you can move the Crystal Palace to another place in just a day or two, so I can't find it."

The Crystal Shrimp General was silent for a long time.

"Wait a moment."

The Crystal Shrimp General turned and walked into the palace treasury. When it came out again, it was carefully holding a dragon egg, with a thick layer of crystal shell on the eggshell.

"Why did you put a layer of crystal shell on the dragon egg? Don't you know that doing so will make it even harder for the little crystal dragon to hatch?"

Li Cunxu frowned.

The Crystal Shrimp General said, "I didn't put it on. It's crystallized crystal liquid."

Li Cunxu was stunned, "Could it be that this egg has been soaking in crystal liquid all this time?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"The problem is huge. No wonder this egg isn't hatching. I'm impressed. Didn't the Crystal Dragon teach you that dragon eggs should only be soaked for an hour each day?"

Crystal liquid is made from the Crystal Dragon's essence blood and various medicinal materials. The secret recipe is only known to the Crystal Dragon and is a secret that is never passed on. Crystal liquid is a Lord-level resource. Putting a pet beast egg in it for an hour can enhance the pet beast's potential inside the egg.

However, it shouldn't be soaked for too long.

Soaking for too long will greatly enhance the potential, but at the same time, it will condense a thick layer of crystal shell on the eggshell surface, increasing the difficulty of hatching.

The crystal shell cannot be broken by external force. The crystal shell is one with the egg. Breaking it by outsiders will cause irreparable damage to the pet beast inside. However, there is no need to worry too much about the crystal shell breaking. The hardness of the crystal shell is three or four times harder than diamond.

The Crystal Shrimp General said, "The Crystal Dragon-sama taught us to keep the egg in the crystal liquid all the time."

Li Cunxu frowned. Either the Crystal Dragon didn't inherit the memory of hatching dragon eggs, or the Crystal Dragon was a vicious mother who didn't want her child to hatch.

Li Cunxu looked at the dragon egg's stats panel.

【Pet Beast】: ???

【Attribute】: Light, Dark, Water

【Level】: Black Iron Level 0

【Talent】: Crystal Creator (Purple), Shadow Negation (Purple)

【State】: Overnourished, difficult to hatch, bloodline conflict.

【Skills】: Annihilation Dark Wave, Crystal Creation

【Potential】: High-level Monarch

【Introduction】: This is a pet beast with extraordinary potential, provided it can be born.

Li Cunxu was stunned when he saw the name. It was a question mark, indicating that this was a new pet beast race.

The Crystal Dragon is a Light and Water dual-attribute pet beast, but this one has an additional Dark attribute.

This attribute is either a mutation or inherited from the father's attribute. The Crystal Dragon has a rare evolved form called the Dark Crystal Dragon.

Li Cunxu asked, "What kind of pet beast is the Crystal Dragon's mate?"

The Crystal Shrimp General said, "The Crystal Dragon is very disgusted with mates and never mentions it in front of us, nor does it allow us to mention it."

Continuing to look down, the talents shocked Li Cunxu.

Rare and uncommon dual talents, and even stronger than Xiaobaizhu's dual talents.

Xiaobaizhu has one white and one purple.

And this one actually has dual purple.

Crystal Creator is the Crystal Dragon clan's fixed talent.

Shadow Negation is a terrifying assassination talent. Hidden in the shadows or darkness, people around it automatically ignore it. If it assassinates someone, even if it kills the person in front of others, they will ignore it, even if the blood splatters in their eyes.

Only when the talent holder leaves will the negation effect be lifted.

When he saw the [Annihilation Dark Wave] skill, Li Cunxu had a new guess about the dragon egg's father.

The dragon egg's father should be the Annihilation Dark Dragon. Only it knows the Annihilation Dark Wave.

The Annihilation Dark Dragon is an extremely terrifying forbidden beast, possessing extremely terrifying combat power and super perverted talents. The place where it is located is a forbidden zone.

The Annihilation Dark Dragon only goes into heat once in its life. When it goes into heat, it transforms into a breeding machine, and it is usually a one-shot deal.

However, the survival rate of the Annihilation Dark Dragon's cubs is not high.

The possibility of cubs dying in the pet beast egg is about nine out of ten, only because the Annihilation Dark Dragon's bloodline is too strong.

Even the cubs who are lucky enough to survive will provoke the Dragon Mother's hostility.

After all, the relationship between the Dragon Mother and the Annihilation Dark Dragon is not voluntary on the Dragon Mother's part.

No wonder the Crystal Dragon wants to soak the dragon egg in crystal liquid for so long. It turns out it doesn't want it to hatch!

However, the Crystal Dragon doesn't completely hate the dragon egg. If it really didn't love it, the Crystal Dragon could have directly smashed the dragon egg, and wouldn't have bothered to concoct crystal liquid.

Does the Annihilation Dark Dragon care about its cubs?

It doesn't care.

If a cub dares to appear in front of it, the Annihilation Dark Dragon will treat it as a competitor for territory and bite it to death.

"Mom doesn't love it, dad abandoned it, how pitiful!"

Li Cunxu stroked the crystallized dragon egg with pity.
