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

In beastmaster battles, pets can bring one weapon and one tool into the arena.

Tools have a wide range of uses and can effectively enhance a pet's combat power.

The levels of tools are divided into: Tool — Treasure — Imperial Tool.

Imperial Tools not only greatly enhance a pet's strength, but some can even defy fate.

Imperial Tools are rare and their quantity is fixed; there are only forty-nine in the entire world.

Why did the Yellow Seed Gourd cause such a stir throughout the city? Because the Yellow Seed Gourd is not an ordinary Treasure, but a split-off from the Imperial Tool Seven Seed Gourd, making it more powerful than ordinary Treasures.

Rumor has it that as long as you can collect all seven Seed Gourds, you can recreate the original Seven Seed Gourd.

Li Cunxu didn't know if it was true or false.

In his previous life, no one had collected all seven Seed Gourds.

Upon arriving in the city, Li Cunxu didn't immediately head to the sewers; instead, he went to buy a gas mask.

If he could avoid suffering, why should he suffer?

However, Li Cunxu miscalculated one thing: he wasn't the only one who thought of buying a gas mask.

A long queue had formed in front of the store.

Therefore, queuing would only waste time and serve no other purpose.

As for why Li Cunxu didn't buy a gas mask in advance?

The game had only been open for a short time, and not many players were paying attention to this, and they didn't know that the reward for killing the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion was the Yellow Seed Gourd.

Actually, even if they had paid attention, it wouldn't have mattered, because players at this stage couldn't defeat the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion. Players only learned about this because of the dungeon generated by the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion event, which was the first server-wide dungeon.

In fact, even if Li Cunxu knew the reward was the Yellow Seed Gourd, he wouldn't have bought a gas mask in advance.

Think about it. If you killed the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion and others knew you had bought a gas mask in advance, and that your family had obtained a garbage slime that could clean up garbage a month ago, and in large numbers, what would they think?

They would wonder if you knew about this in advance and if you were the one who caused it.

Creating trouble and then cleaning up the mess, deliberately trying to gain favor with the higher-ups.

You, with ulterior motives.

Coincidence?

Smart people never believe in coincidences, unless it's a genuine coincidence.

Li Cunxu put on five layers of masks, feeling a bit breathless, and then took off two.

Even three layers of masks couldn't block the accumulated odor of the sewers.

He took out a flashlight and searched in the sewers.

Along the way, he encountered many beastmasters with flashlights, just like him.

Li Cunxu wasn't particularly worried that someone else would find the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion before him, because he had two informational advantages that others didn't know.

First: The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion was mostly active in the sewers of the Holy Lotus District.

Second: The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion possessed a very rare skill [Mimicry], which allowed it to transform into other pets.

The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion was probably transformed into a sludge monster, lurking somewhere.

However, the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion had a flaw: other sludge monsters were black or dark purple, while the sludge monster it transformed into was blackish-red.

This wasn't because its Mimicry skill wasn't refined enough, but because of its corruption. To achieve perfect mimicry, its Mimicry skill would need to break through its limits several more times.

Li Cunxu searched for three days without finding it, suffering from the stench for three days.

After three days, fewer and fewer people were searching.

First, the sewer environment was too harsh, and the odor was too strong.

Second, the Pupil Capital was too large, and the sewers were also large, with too many places to search.

Third, so many people had searched for so long without finding any trace of the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion, so some people began to suspect that the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion had escaped the city.

Fourth, some people on the internet were spreading rumors that obtaining the Yellow Seed Gourd was useless.

"Do you think the mayor is so kind as to give you a treasure for free? Don't dream, you won't be able to use it even if you get it. The Yellow Seed Gourd you get is in seed form, and you have to plant it to use it. As for what to use to plant it? It varies from person to person. It might be possible to plant it with ordinary soil, or it might require Nine Heavens Heavy Water.

The reason why the mayor used it as a reward is that even he couldn't plant it, and the seed form of the Yellow Seed Gourd cannot be held for long, only for one year. After one year, you either throw it away or give it away, otherwise it will devour your luck."

Seeing these rumors, the desire of the crowd to obtain the Yellow Seed Gourd greatly diminished.

The fourth day.

Li Cunxu's flashlight shone on a sludge monster, blackish-red, in the dim sewer environment. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and other sludge monsters. Even if you noticed the different color, you would only think it was a variant sludge monster.

Variant pets are very precious, but it depends on the type of pet. For example, slimes, sludge monsters, even if they are variants, are not worth much.

Moreover, sludge monsters are not allowed to be bought or sold. Pets that are not allowed to be bought or sold are either worthless or extremely valuable. Sludge monsters are clearly the former.

Li Cunxu pretended to continue walking forward, and without warning, activated the powerful catapult made by the Begging Machine Extermination Hunter, firing a Spirit-Banishing Nail from his sleeve, piercing into the body of the sludge monster mimicked by the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion.

Mimicry can disguise itself as other pets, but it has a drawback: it will mimic the weaknesses of the other pets along with it.

The weakness of the sludge monster is its low defense, which allowed the Spirit-Banishing Nail to easily penetrate the body of the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion.

The Spirit-Banishing Nail can restrict spiritual energy, and the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion's strength was greatly reduced when its spiritual energy was restricted.

At the moment of activating the powerful catapult, Li Cunxu summoned Little Soft.

Little Soft immediately spat out several water balls, directly shattering the mimicked sludge monster form of the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion, revealing its true form.

The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion wasn't a pushover either, and immediately released Poison Scorpion Needles.

"Mud Throw."

Little Soft threw out mud, blocking most of the incoming Poison Scorpion Needles, but some still flew towards him.

The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion was very cunning, not attacking the pet, but focusing on the beastmaster, understanding the principle of capturing the leader first.

Li Cunxu tried to block with water balls, but the water balls were too weak to defend against the Poison Scorpion Needles' point-to-surface attack. The Poison Scorpion Needles pierced into Li Cunxu's arm.

Li Cunxu immediately bit down on the antidote pill and scorpion venom treatment pill he had in his mouth, and then ran backwards, enduring the pain as he pulled out the slender red Poison Scorpion Needles stuck in the bones of his arm.

The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion recklessly charged towards Li Cunxu. Li Cunxu fled in a panic, feigning escape, while Little Soft took the opportunity to continuously attack the Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion with Mud Throw.

The Corrupted Red-Tailed Scorpion was very fast, and in a few breaths, it was about to catch up with Li Cunxu. Li Cunxu suddenly turned around and threw out the flashbang he had prepared on his waist.

Flashbangs are not particularly useful in reality, especially in open spaces during the day, but this place was different. This was a narrow, dark, and lightless sewer.
