Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent

Chapter 112: Third Phase Experiment [Evolution into Iron Shell Insect] Complete!


Looking at the LV1 [Mutant Cockroaches], Mo Qingchen released a Unihorn Insect.

Even though it had just broken out of its shell, for exotic beasts, fighting was basically instinct.

This Unihorn Insect faced ten [Mutant Cockroaches] without showing any fear, almost instinctively using the Poison Needle skill.

A poison needle accurately pierced through the cockroach's carapace, directly penetrating it.

Afterward, the Unihorn Insect flicked its tail against the ground, launching itself, and pierced a mutant cockroach with its horn, shaking its head slightly to fling the dead cockroach away.

In just 1 minute, this Unihorn Insect killed ten mutant cockroaches.

As the golden light on its body briefly flashed and disappeared, Mo Qingchen activated the [Eye of Truth], immediately seeing that this Unihorn Insect had leveled up to LV2.

"Damn Abyssal Rules, definitely no good. Targeting Beastmasters, right? Why can exotic beasts gain experience and level up after killing enemies, but Beastmasters cannot gain experience from killing enemies themselves?!"

Cursing the Abyssal Rules countless times in his heart, he raised his hand and released 20 more [Mutant Cockroaches] into the battlefield.

...

Time flew by quickly, and seven days passed swiftly.

The changes in B1 and B2 became extremely noticeable.

These two Unihorn Insects rapidly grew in size under the consumption of abundant Great Needle Bee Queen Honey and insect Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones.

However, B1, which had the same Lord Bloodline as Mo Jin, grew rapidly in length to 1 meter in seven days.

In contrast, B2, a variant of the Elite Giant Needle Bee individual, also grew rapidly but only reached a length of 0.6 meters.

As for the other Unihorn Insects, their lengths remained between 0.3~0.4 meters, with no special occurrences.

"The second stage of meticulous feeding is complete. Next comes the third stage of evolution."

This time, the arrangement for the evolution plan was somewhat different from the first hatching.

B1 and B2 remained unchanged, still following Mo Jin's breeding method.

Their strength level reached Tier One LV10, using 3 Tier Three insect Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones each for evolution.

Accompanied by countless golden threads extending from B1 and B2's bodies, they quickly wrapped around their bodies, forming a giant cocoon.

The intense golden light was not blinding, but rather exuded a sacred and gentle aura.

As the golden cocoon gradually solidified, the two Unihorn Insects began to change bit by bit until finally transforming into a golden chrysalis!

Evolution, successful!

The [Eye of Truth] immediately revealed the attributes of the two [Iron Shell Insects].

Talent had upgraded from A-level to S-level, and it also provided a new plan for further upgrading talent to SS-level.

Overall, the changes were not significant, merely involving the amount of Bee King Honey used.

B2, the elite mutant individual, needed to absorb 1.5 times the Bee King Honey compared to B1.

One absorbed 10 pounds daily, while the other absorbed 15 pounds daily.

However, the quantity was not an issue; as long as they could successfully advance to SS-level Great Needle Bee, Mo Qingchen was extremely satisfied.

After meticulously recording various data on the two S-level Iron Shell Insects, he looked at the other Unihorn Insects with different talents.

"Little Dummy, list out the absorption status of Bee King Honey nutrients for the experimental subjects C1~C10."

"Happy to serve you... projecting screen..."

C1~C6 (Talent C-level), residual 14.0%~16.0%;

C7~C9 (Talent B-level), residual 12.1%~13.7%;

C10 (Talent B-level), residual 15.8%;

D1~D6 (Talent D-level), residual 25.2%~28.7%;

D7~D10 (Talent C-level), residual 18.5%~20.1%.

Any eggs using Tier Three insect Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones during hatching had their talent upgraded by one grade.

However, from this recorded chart, we can also see that those with lower innate talent can't compare to their high innate counterparts after upgrading talent.

"Next, we'll use different Energy Crystal Stones to evolve them into [Iron Shell Insects]."

Mo Qingchen naturally had a purpose for making the data so comprehensive, which was just for the Dragon Science Institute researcher status.

At that time, this detailed report would naturally be divided into various levels, and what is free for civilians would surely be just the guaranteed minimum portion.

As for the plan to breed S-level Great Needle Bees, Mo Qingchen certainly wouldn't publicize it—it would be his exclusive secret.

And the [Great Needle Bee Breeding Base] he intended to set up would only cultivate B, A, and S-level Great Needle Bees, making money from the wealthy to quickly recover large funds for him to squander.

As for the C and D-quality ones, these were meant for sale to civilians and impoverished people, considered thin margins but mass sales. The Dragon Coins earned wouldn't be few, but Mo Qingchen didn't have the energy to handle them.

At that time, he could authorize experimental data to others and wait for dividends.

C1 (Talent: C-level), used 1 Tier One insect Poison Element Energy Crystal Stones each for evolution, evolution failed!

C2 (Talent: C-level), used Tier Two Crystal Stones for evolution, evolution succeeded! Talent unchanged.

C3~C6 (Talent: C-level), used Tier Three Crystal Stones for evolution, evolution succeeded! Talent upgraded to B-level!

C7 (Talent: B-level), used Tier One Crystal Stones for evolution, evolution failed!

C8 (Talent: B-level), used Tier Two Crystal Stones for evolution, evolution succeeded! Talent unchanged.

C9~C10 (Talent: B-level), used Tier Three Crystal Stones for evolution, evolution succeeded! Talent unchanged!

The same method was used for the D1~D10 evolution experiments, producing results similar to those of C1~C10.

"Little Dummy, record various experimental data and then initiate the fourth stage of the experiment—Iron Shell Insect feeding."

"Injecting 10 pounds of [Great Needle Bee Queen Honey] into the container for each [Iron Shell Insect]!"

Watching 22 Unihorn Insects evolve at once, especially with a few failures among them, left a strong impression on Mo Qingchen.

If it weren't for his golden finger [Eye of Truth], which provided a plan for upgrading their talent, those failed evolving Unihorn Insects might have been a true portrayal of Mo Jin.

With the arrival of the Beast Taming Era, regardless of those large groups, major financial conglomerates, great families, or even the official agencies like the Dragon Science Institute of the Divine Xia Empire.

Their research focuses were on those powerful, numerous exotic beasts.

Instead, innate weaker exotic beast species were less studied.

This was unavoidable; the appearance of the Abyss threatened the survival of all humans.

Therefore, it was necessary to enhance combat power to guard various places, especially Abyssal Rifts.

Only exotic beasts that were powerful from the start could rapidly enhance their strength and quickly augment the strength of Guardian Beasts.

If Mo Qingchen's research is handled well this time, it would bring the best welfare to the vast majority of civilians and impoverished people.

It could greatly increase the number of Beastmasters.
