บท 26: Imminent Breakthrough!
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Bell spent half a day crossing the periphery and arriving at the C-rank area.
The Black Moon secret realm was divided into six levels: periphery, D-level, C-level, B-level, A-level, and center.
Often, as they explored deeper and deeper into the secret realm, the level of the exotic beasts they could encounter would increase exponentially, and the resources they could gather would become more precious the deeper they went.
Especially in the central area of the secret realm, the exotic beasts that lived there were at least level 60 and above. Basically, no crusade team would go deep into the central area.
Bell had heard that there were max-level exotic beast kings in the center of the Black Moon secret realm. They were extremely terrifying and could be said to be world-destroying beings.
There was even news that the blood of these exotic beasts could directly increase the level of talent of any exotic beast by a major realm!
However, such rumors were good. They were more like urban legends.
According to Bell's understanding, the Beast Tamer Alliance would send a beast taming team to explore the core area of the Black Moon secret realm every once in a while. Extremely high-level exotic beasts would be killed immediately.
It was to prevent exotic beasts that exceeded the ability of the alliance from appearing in the secret realm, causing the entire Black Moon secret realm to change.
As for the second-grade A-rank areas, the exotic beasts there were not too powerful. They were basically maintained between level 40 and 50.
This was often the first target of a powerful crusade team.
The remaining B-rank and C-rank areas were the main activity locations of the factions and crusade teams.
The D-rank area was mainly where the Beast Tamer city was located. There were very few beasts wandering around. There would be organizations regularly cleaning up the beasts around to ensure the safety of the beast tamers.
Generally speaking, exotic beasts not only had valuable crystal cores, but also treasures from head to toe.
The scales or skin of some exotic beasts were very tough and had very strong defensive capabilities. A small number of them could counteract elemental magic and were excellent materials for making armor.
On the other hand, the bones of some exotic beasts could also be used to forge weapons. Due to the energy of their bloodlines, their flesh and blood also contained an effect that could increase the attributes of beast tamers.
If a low-grade bloodline exotic beast ate the flesh and blood of a high-grade bloodline exotic beast for a long time, it had a chance of improving its bloodline quality. In fact, if it was the flesh and blood of an extremely rare species, it could even stimulate the exotic beast to unlock new abilities.
However, everything had to be done properly. If one ate too much of the flesh and blood of exotic beasts, it would also cause the bloodline of the exotic beasts to be completely chaotic, indirectly affecting their evolution path.
And because of that, many areas where exotic beasts gathered in the Black Moon secret realm had already been forcefully occupied by those powerful forces in advance. There were even some who directly seized the resources.
One of the typical examples was the Black Moon Mineral Company. In the name of opening up mining areas, they were actually the first to occupy a high-quality exotic beast gathering area.
Therefore, many suppression teams ignored the risks and directly entered the depths of the secret realm to hunt. Due to the complicated environment, there were many extremely powerful lord-level beasts there.
It was very rare for a faction to go deep into that area, because to protect the depths of the secret realm, they often had to eliminate several beast tamer teams above level 30. The gains didn't make up for the losses.
However, there were also many lone wolf beast tamers wandering around the periphery of the secret realm to try their luck.
As there were not many exotic beasts here, they rarely encountered high-level exotic beasts. In addition, the spiritual herbs in the periphery had basically been harvested, so there was no value in continuing to explore.
Unless they could encounter beasts that had fallen through the cracks, it was basically an area that the major factions did not fancy.
Now, Wangcai had reached level 29 and was only a step away from level 30. His bloodline talent had also reached silver-level rank-1.
As a result, his strength had increased greatly. Even if he encountered a level 30 beast, he would have the strength to fight back. Therefore, it was not a problem for him to directly enter a C-rank area.
The first target for determining the beast tamer level was definitely the strength of the beast he had.
The second reference data was the beast tamer's own strength.
Currently, other than being able to share all of Wangcai's attributes, there was nothing special about Bell's own strength because he had not learned the corresponding beast tamer skills.
The level of a beast tamer was a reference. The existence of such a rating was completely due to the fact that the attributes of the exclusive beast would be fed back to the beast tamer.
Therefore, the level of a beast tamer was related to the level of his exclusive beast.
However, as a weak slime, Wangcai could still completely transform into an isomer at the moment.
Even if he had already reached Level 30, his attributes were still extremely low compared to other types of beasts. The improvement he could give Bell was very limited.
However, in the current situation, Bell did not need to personally take action. Just Wangcai's neurotoxin was enough to deal with an opponent. Even if he could not defeat the opponent, he could still fight.
Even so, Bell still looked forward to Wangcai reaching level 30 and unlocking some beast tamer skills for him.
The true factors that could completely change a beast tamer's strength were the strength of the equipment they wore, and the beast tamer skills they mastered.
On the other hand, there were only two ways to obtain beast tamer skills. One was to use a skill book to learn, or the other was to wait until his exclusive beast reached level 30 and upgraded to a growth body. Then, he would unlock his exclusive skill for the beast tamer.
Bell already had the thought of collecting awakening materials for Wangcai in advance.
However, when a beast advanced to level 30, it was equivalent to a human going from a child to a young adult. Therefore, it required a lot of experience points. Compared to before, advancing was definitely not easy.
…
The place Bell arrived at was close to the mountain range. The surrounding mountains and ravines were connected, like an undulating landscape picture.
The branches and leaves of the towering trees were lush and covered the sky. They followed the river into the hinterland of the valley. A fog that even sunlight could not penetrate shrouded the surroundings. Bell stepped on the rotten leaves and felt the humidity in the air. Wangcai led the way.
"Gu, gu, gu!"
Wangcai stopped bouncing and transformed into a small tentacle that pointed forward. At this moment, its transparent body produced colorful liquid.
Bell felt that Wangcai was lucky. It sensed the existence of a certain creature in front of it. The neurotoxin had already formed in its body and could attack at any time.
The ground ahead was covered in thorns.
Apart from the messy roots of the tree, red and tough vines stretched out, directly covering the path. Coupled with the dense fog around them, it was very difficult to investigate the situation ahead.
Right at this moment, something unexpected happened!
"Roar!"
A black figure shuttled through the vines at an extremely fast speed and kept approaching Bell.
At this moment, the system notification sounded.
[Ding! The system has detected the appearance of an unknown exotic beast. Extracting target information. Please wait a moment!]
