The flashbang exploded, illuminating the area in an instant, a vast field of white. Li Cunxu and Xiaoruan quickly buried their heads and closed their eyes, avoiding the blinding light, while the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion was not so lucky.

It was hit by the flash.

"Now, Xiaoruan, use the grass blade to slice its tail."

Before speaking, Li Cunxu had already picked up the Forbidden Spirit Ram's Horn Hammer and smashed it against the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion's head, which instinctively resisted, its scorpion pincers sending the hammer flying with immense force.

At that moment, a grass blade, formed by condensed green light, slashed at the weak point of the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion's tail, at the area where black and red intersected.

There was an old wound at the connecting point of the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion's tail, and Xiaoruan's strike succeeded.

The most crucial red scorpion tail was severed, causing the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion's aura to drastically plummet, as if its vital point had been cut.

"Continue with the grass blade."

Several consecutive grass blades severed the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion's pincers and opened a gash on its head.

The Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion remained motionless, as if dead.

"Who are you trying to deceive with such a trick?"

Li Cunxu sneered.

Evilized creatures possess extremely tenacious vitality; unless their head is severed, they won't die.

In the game, Li Cunxu had been deceived; the health bar seemed empty, but as soon as he approached, it would suddenly lash out and bite him.

"Xiaoruan, use the grass blade to slice it in two across the waist."

Unable to keep up the act, the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion dashed towards Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu knocked it back under the grass blade with a water ball, splitting the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion from head to tail.

"Finally dealt with it."

Li Cunxu breathed a sigh of relief; though he had defeated it many times in the game, this was real life, where you only have one life and no second chances.

He stored the corpse of the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion in his backpack, retrieved the Forbidden Spirit Ram's Horn Hammer that had been knocked away, and hurriedly left the sewers.

Although he had taken detoxifying pills and Scorpion Poison Treatment Pills, this was the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion, whose venom is incredibly potent; the detoxifying pill could only suppress it, not fully eradicate.

By the time Li Cunxu climbed out of the sewers, his left hand struck by the Scorpion Venom Needle was already numb and devoid of sensation.

Li Cunxu had no choice but to take another detoxifying pill, rushing to the police station.

"I took down the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion."

He handed over the corpse of the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion to a police officer for verification, left his identification, and hurriedly went to the hospital to remove the residual poison.

An underling reported, "A young man just delivered a corpse of the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion to the Holy Lotus District Police Station, and upon inspection, the venom killing the sludge monster came from that Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion."

"That's great, problem solved!"

The investigation team leader was overjoyed; these days, the mayor and high-level figures had been calling to urge him to quickly find the culprit, stretching him under immense pressure to the point of hair loss.

The team leader immediately went to the Holy Lotus District Police Station to verify once more.

"If the sludge monsters haven't died on a large scale, this incident is over."

"By the way, where's the young man?"

"He went to the hospital, for detoxification."

After detoxifying, Li Cunxu didn't return to the police station, instead heading straight back to the ranch.

He's already made his statements; there's nothing more to say, only waiting for the reward.

"Not too shabby."

Li Cunxu turned his backpack upside down, shaking out its contents.

The Crystal Core of the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion at Black Iron level 9, Mimicry skill seed, Scorpion Venom skill seed, Scorpion Venom Needle skill seed, Poison Wave skill seed.

Mimicry and Poison Wave were both Gold-level skills, Scorpion Venom was Black Iron-level skill, and Scorpion Venom Needle was Bronze-level skill.

"These three poison-type skills can be kept to cultivate the next pet beast, but this Mimicry?"

Mimicry suits Xiaoruan quite well, but Li Cunxu plans to sell it.

Because there's a better choice; in the mythical ancient ice field secret realm, there exists a type of Slime called Mimic Slime, able to transform into various pet beasts.

When the time comes to tame it, the Mimicry can be learned through taxation.

Li Cunxu waited a long time without receiving a reward for defeating the Evilized Red-tailed Poison Scorpion, but instead, he received a reward for lending out Garbage Slime.

A reward of three million cash.

It seems like a lot of money, but in reality, it isn't much, practically spent when buying resources for two or three Beast Masters.

The game "God Royalty" is famous for being pay-to-win.

But just lending out Garbage Slime yielded such a reward, which Li Cunxu found quite satisfactory.

Compared to the reward, what delighted Li Cunxu more was that an environmental organization wanted to rent his Garbage Slime.

Renting out Garbage Slime meant earning money while lying back.

The environmental organization valued Garbage Slime; although it cleansed garbage slower than the sludge monster, it was much cleaner than the sludge monster itself and easier to clean.

When the sludge monster died, its body turned into putrid sludge, which was foul-smelling and, if not artificially treated, the stench would grow increasingly unbearable, enveloping the entire street in the smell of rotten eggs, and would generate large amounts of flammable and explosive toxic marsh gas, endangering the city.

The Garbage Slime was different; upon death, it leaves behind a blob of toxic Garbage Slime gel, sticky but manageable, and useful as poison-type resources for sale.

The putrid sludge from the sludge monster is also a poison-type resource, but specialized poison-type Beast Masters avoid using it; anyone who has used it knows.

A poison-type pet beast that uses putrid sludge would be infused with a supreme stench, impossible to cleanse.

A well-bred poison-type pet beast turning into a stench-filled creature; who could tolerate it unless the Beast Master has a flawed nose?

The quarterfinals commenced.

Li Cunxu's opponent was a familiar face, Chen Lu.

Upon meeting, Chen Lu praised, "You're amazing, defeating so many opponents with just a Water Slime."

Li Cunxu, who had yet to summon Xiaoruan, asked in confusion:

"How did you know my pet beast is a Water Slime?"

Chen Lu stuck out her tongue, "Of course, I watched your match videos."

"Match videos?"

"Don't you know? You're really popular, defeating many with just a Water Slime."

"However, I'm strong too, don't underestimate me!" Chen Lu raised her small fist, softly asserting.

Who would dare underestimate a double-purple talent holder?

"Come out! My little deer."

Bearing fur as green as grass, majestic antlers, a sleek figure, the Little Medicine Deer joyfully circled around Chen Lu.

"It's actually a Little Medicine Deer." Li Cunxu was somewhat surprised.

Little Medicine Deer is a unique pet beast from Shandu Medicine King Valley, sparingly available.

Little Medicine Deer is as rare as pure-blooded Dragon Race; its ultimate evolutionary form, Medicine King Cauldron Deer, rivals pure-blooded Dragon Race in power and potential.

Its value is exceptionally high; consuming the antlers cures hundreds of diseases and detoxifies poisons, including some incurable conditions and untreatable poisons.

Its research value is particularly high too.

Antlers are often sold by the gram, but generally unavailable, even in black markets where anything is available, Little Medicine Deer antlers make rare appearances.

Isn't this pet beast's use in battle a waste?

Not at all.

Little Medicine Deer's antlers grow faster when it experiences pain.

Deliberately tormenting the Little Medicine Deer? Doesn't work; its mood will plummet, reducing antler quality.

Only happiness enhances antler quality.

Thus, combat is the best method to raise a Little Medicine Deer, allowing it to feel pain while keeping its spirits high.
