Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent

Chapter 45: Deceived and Ambushed


[Tip: You opened a supply treasure chest (white) and acquired items: Bottled mineral water (5L) X1, Beef package (1 pound) X2.]

[Tip: You opened a supply treasure chest (white) and acquired items: Flame-roasted lamb chops (2 pounds) X5]

[Tip: You opened a supply treasure chest (white) and acquired items: Refined iron ingot (20 pounds) X5, Refined copper ingot (20 pounds) X5.]

As the three supply treasure chests were opened, water, food, and materials appeared directly in the item bar within the Abyss Pattern on Mo Qingchen's forehead.

"Damn it, I can understand supply treasure chests containing food and water, but what the hell are iron and copper ingots? Are they expecting me to use them as bricks to bash monster skulls?"

凸(艹皿艹)!

Mo Qingchen found that the food from the resource chest wasn't much, but if saved carefully, it could barely last a day.

The main reason is, Mo Jin eats quite a lot.

At Tier Three, it needs to consume a large amount of nutrients and energy daily.

The minimum diet standard requires one Insect Type and one Poison Element Tier One Energy Crystal Stone to ensure normal energy growth in its body.

Nutritionally, it mostly relies on foods made from Exotic Beast Meat, consuming five pounds daily.

Exotic Beast Meat contains energy and various nutrients, which, paired with some leaves from Exotic Beast Tree Spirits, can satisfy Mo Jin's needs.

So, the food from three supply treasure chests isn't enough for one person and one insect for a day.

This is a bit of a headache.

"Jin Jin, fly down and clear out the monsters on floors 31~28, and if they drop any treasure chests, bring them back to me."

The mall on the 32nd floor is something Mo Qingchen has truly seen for the first time. With so many shops, it's perfect for searching around to see if there's anything interesting to find.

The Abyss descends, marking the start of the Beast Taming Era. Much of human social order has collapsed, but technology is advancing rapidly, not regressing; instead, many special technological products have emerged.

For instance, the Space Backpack is related to Beast Taming.

Why do many large conglomerates and powerful factions like to organize people and recruit high-tier Beastmasters to search for wild Abyssal Dungeons, Otherworld Secret Realms, and Dimensional Rifts outdoors?

It's naturally lucrative!

Abyssal Dungeons can produce various resources and provide experience to nurture Guardian Beasts and Beastmasters.

There are even some special Abyssal Dungeons, like the newbie trial dungeons or certain special trial dungeons, which may possess alien technological products!

The space backpack technology was initially obtained by the Divine Xia Empire officially from a relic-type Abyssal Dungeon with detailed information.

And now, this newbie trial dungeon [Civilization's Wound] has a modern post-apocalyptic setting, so there might be some special technological products?

Mo Jin is very fast, especially when flying; it moves like lightning and quickly reached the 31st floor to commence relentless hunting.

These Tier Three dwarf mutant species, despite reaching Tier Three, have very low combat power.

Their low talent leads to extremely low comprehensive attributes, and their attribute growth is very slow.

The Great Needle Bee kills monsters to help the Beastmaster earn points and dominate the leaderboard.

Mo Qingchen searches for special items, wanting to figure out the background of this apocalyptic dungeon.

Quickly, he arrived at a shop filled with various metal products.

The thick dust made the metal products inside look incredibly old.

However, Mo Qingchen was familiar with most of the metal products inside.

Mice, cats, dogs, sheep, pigs, horses, cows—all were metal products with a sci-fi style that made these animals look lifelike, like scaled-down electronic pets.

Mo Qingchen walked into the shop and casually took a palm-sized metal hamster from a display counter.

"Such a sophisticated mechanical hamster, if not for its mechanical exterior, it wouldn't differ much from a real one."

Its clumsy appearance makes one feel affectionate at first sight.

And in this store, there were at least dozens of such mechanical pets in various sizes.

However, those preserved in the display counters were merely a bit worn out; those exposed to the air were rusted all over, and some were directly missing limbs.

Mo Qingchen didn't mind at all, touching each one and packing them all into the item bar of the Abyss Pattern on his forehead.

Just as he was about to reach for a mechanical pet resembling a wild boar, the originally rust-covered mechanical boar's eyes suddenly flickered with red light.

Mo Qingchen only felt a blur before his eyes, as the Eye of Truth automatically activated, and an attribute panel appeared before him.

In that moment of daze, he felt a tremendous force hit his chest as if he were being hit head-on by a speeding locomotive.

His whole body flew backward with a "bang" and then crashed into the wall behind him with a loud "bang," creating a half-person-high indented hole.

Mo Qingchen felt a metallic taste in his throat, almost vomiting blood.

But he couldn't care to check, instantly enveloping his body with telekinesis, lifting himself up and sticking to the ceiling like a spider.

It was only a split second later that a mechanical boar charged past his back, shattering a wall.

The boar's head, with just a thrust and a swing, smashed a large section of wall tiles as if they were made of paper.

"Damn! I just used spiritual probing, and this damned thing played dead to lure me in for a sneak attack!"

Tightly attached to the ceiling, Mo Qingchen observed the raging mechanical boar below, easily destroying walls. He realized what the mechanical beast had just done.

[Exotic Beast Name: Mechanical Boar Mutant]

[Talent: D (Excellent)]

[Attributes: Mechanical System]

[Level: LV39]

[Talent: Mechanical Evolution]

[Skills: Charge, Tearing Bite, Mechanical Fusion]

[PS: Who says deformed mutants can only be flesh and blood beings? I, Old Boar, disagree!]

Mo Qingchen looked at the damned boar with gritted teeth, feeling the searing pain in his chest, wishing he could tear it into pieces and dismantle it into scraps!

Fortunately, his constitution now is 37 points, plus he's wearing a set of abyss-produced [Fine Gold Armor (Blue)] equipment, which can reduce damage below Tier Four by 30% and adds 3 more points to his constitution.

Otherwise, a hard hit from the boar head would've seriously injured him, potentially breaking several ribs.

But now, it's time for revenge!

[Golden Essence Spike] flew out like lightning, piercing straight into the electronic eyes of the mechanical boar glowed with red light.

The distance between them was just over two meters, and the spike reached in a flash, without giving the mechanical boar any time to react, easily piercing through one electronic eye and skewering the head, flying out from the back of its head.

After landing a hit, Mo Qingchen showed no intention to stop, controlling the spike to spin and repeatedly pierce back and forth.
