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

"Bash," a very ordinary, super easy-to-learn Black Iron skill, provided Xiao Ruan with massive skill proficiency every month because all Slime subjects could learn it, causing Xiao Ruan's Bash skill proficiency to reach a terrifying forty-five times beyond the limit.

Forty-five times beyond the limit, the unremarkable Bash skill became extraordinary in Xiao Ruan's hands.

Xiao Ruan charged out with unmatched momentum, and the Battle Blade Mantis crossed its arms to block.

Xiao Ruan's Bash was strong, but the Battle Blade Mantis was even stronger. The Battle Blade Mantis only retreated three meters before stopping Xiao Ruan's impact.

It's just that the Battle Blade Mantis's injuries were super serious; otherwise, the Battle Blade Mantis could have casually swatted away Xiao Ruan's earth-shattering and tear-inducing Bash.

Little White Spider wasn't idle either, using Fear Demon Spider's Soul-Shaking Roar to interfere with the Battle Blade Mantis while expanding the Domain of Fate.

Li Cunxu shouted, "Little White Spider, don't use the domain; the domain is useless against it."

A Overlord-level Overlord Body can ignore the influence of the domain.

Of course, nothing is absolute. If the domain is strong enough, it can still affect the Overlord Body.

However, it's impossible to affect the Battle Blade Mantis. The Battle Blade Mantis has Overlord Nine Overlord Body. No matter how much stronger Little White Spider's domain becomes, it's useless.

When Xiao Ruan's momentum was gone, the Battle Blade Mantis slightly exerted force forward and knocked Xiao Ruan away.

The Battle Blade Mantis raised its dual blades. Without even looking, everyone knew it was going to unleash blade aura.

Suddenly, a blue light enveloping a weapon entered the Battle Blade Mantis's body, and the Battle Blade Mantis fell into a僵直 (jiang zhi, stiff) state.

Little White Spider used the Sea-Quelling skill, forcibly freezing the Battle Blade Mantis. Before Little White Spider could be happy for a few seconds, its water-type spiritual energy was bottoming out.

Using Sea-Quelling to freeze a powerhouse like the Battle Blade Mantis consumed a massive amount of water-type spiritual energy every second.

With the water-type spiritual energy gone, Little White Spider couldn't maintain Sea-Quelling, and the Battle Blade Mantis regained its freedom.

The Battle Blade Mantis's dual blades fell a little, but were forcibly stopped again by a blue light.

Xiao Ruan's Sea-Quelling followed closely behind.

Ten seconds later, Xiao Ruan's massive water-type spiritual energy also bottomed out.

Sea-Quelling failed. In the end, the Battle Blade Mantis still unleashed a cross-shaped blade aura. Xiao Ruan once again summoned its Golden Shield, which was enhanced tenfold by the Power of Myriad Aspects, to block. The blade aura smoothly split the Golden Shield into four pieces like cutting tofu.

"The gap is still too big, even with serious injuries."

Li Cunxu activated the life-saving jade that Li Shiji had left behind with Overlord-level power. A mental shield stood in front, blocking all the blade aura.

Li Cunxu took Xiao Ruan back into the Beast Taming Space to prevent the Battle Blade Mantis from killing Xiao Ruan if it couldn't kill him.

Little White Spider had been staying on Li Cunxu's shoulder, protected by the mental shield, so there was no need to worry.

After chopping for about three minutes, the Battle Blade Mantis suddenly stopped. Its arms involuntarily drooped, the insect wings on its back stopped flapping, and it plummeted from the sky.

The reason the Battle Blade Mantis stopped was because the Left Pirate King was dead. When a Beast Tamer dies, the contracted pet will suffer a backlash from the Beast Taming Contract. The already severely injured Battle Blade Mantis suffered a contract backlash and couldn't hold on any longer, falling unconscious.

Li Cunxu released Xiao Ruan again and said, "Xiao Ruan, Little White Spider, take its life while it's down."

Little White Spider frantically poisoned the Battle Blade Mantis, but the effect wasn't great. Overlord-level creatures have Overlord Body, and Overlord Body has various resistances, so the effect of the poison wasn't that obvious.

Xiao Ruan used skills to attack, but found it didn't work well. Its attacks couldn't even break the Battle Blade Mantis's insect shell. Xiao Ruan stopped and thought for a few seconds, then had an idea about the Battle Blade Mantis's insect wings. The insect wings were one of the weakest parts of the Battle Blade Mantis's body. Once destroyed, the Battle Blade Mantis wouldn't be able to fly even if it woke up.

While Li Cunxu used Mental Blade to chop at the Battle Blade Mantis's injured spiritual body, he gazed into the distance.

An extremely shocking scene appeared in the distance.

A group of dark clouds flashing with lightning appeared out of nowhere in the clear sky, expanding rapidly like rising dough, gathering quickly like smoke and dust, gradually obscuring the scorching sun, and a low rumble of thunder echoed in the distance.

The tranquility of the desert was broken. A gale swept through, stirring up yellow sand and forming winding sand-dust dragons.

The sky became increasingly dark and oppressive, making all living things beneath the sky feel suffocated.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky, piercing through heaven and earth, like the wrath of a deity bombarding the earth, shaking the entire desert.

Raindrops fell sparsely in large chunks at first, then poured down like a torrential downpour.

The long-parched yellow sand didn't absorb water, and soon, puddles gathered in the low-lying areas.

An ancient and magnificent giant pirate ship descended in the thunderclouds.

"What is that?"

Jiang Lingyun sat on the yellow sand, staring blankly into the distance. She had never seen such a spectacular scene before.

"That is the projection of the Emperor Pet, Endless Plunder," Li Cunxu answered.

Jiang Lingyun turned to look at Li Cunxu, her eyes filled with doubt, wanting to ask what the Emperor Pet, Endless Plunder, was.

Li Cunxu said, "You know about Emperor-level, right?"

"I know. My mother once said that Emperor-level is the pinnacle of the current realm."

"That is the projection of an Emperor-level pet."

Why would the projection of Endless Plunder appear?

Li Cunxu didn't need to guess to know the reason.

It was what the Left Pirate King had done.

In the previous life's dungeon, after finally defeating the joint sneak attack of the Left and Right Pirate Kings, they would sacrifice themselves to summon the projection of Endless Plunder, giving the players a painful blow.

… …

Let's move the time back a little.

The Left Pirate King was brought back by the Sand Pharaoh King's teleportation circle.

The Sand Pharaoh King gently tapped the desert with the Desert Scepter, and the desert rolled like ocean waves. Several sand dragons drilled out and attacked the Left Pirate King.

The Left Pirate King once again summoned his trump card pet, the Ghostwood Three-Masted Ship, and drove the Ghostwood Three-Masted Ship to ram into the Sand Pharaoh King. The Sand Pharaoh King pulled out a sand wall to block it.

Several sand dragons besieged the Ghostwood Three-Masted Ship. The Ghostwood Three-Masted Ship was too badly injured and soon collapsed.

Without the Ghostwood Three-Masted Ship, the Left Pirate King was quickly hit, his body pierced by a sand spear, followed by a second, a third… sand spear piercing through.

The Left Pirate King realized that he had absolutely no hope of survival.

"Just because I trespassed into your territory, you chased after me to kill me. I ran away, but you still brought me back. You deserve to die."

"Endless Plunder, I summon you with my life and soul to avenge me."

"Let's go to hell together!"

… …

Sacrifice doesn't come without a price.

After sacrificing himself, the Left Pirate King's soul belonged to Endless Plunder, forever enslaved until Endless Plunder decayed or was destroyed.

As for why both the Left and Right Pirate Kings could summon the projection of Endless Plunder?

Actually, there's nothing strange about it. Any pirate king can do it.
