Chapter 313

Chapter 313

Although Lorant is somewhat of a looks-oriented person, he doesn’t truly dislike ugly beast pets to the point of aversion.

But now, the things quietly wriggling at Lorant’s feet are hard to describe as ‘living creatures’ based on their appearance.

Right away, Lorant realized that Robert was right; the path he had discovered was indeed correct.

It was a truly correct breeding path, one that could be used immediately without further study.

It was a complete beast pet breeding path!

Even Lorant couldn’t help but shake his head in wonder, looking at Robert, who was grinning foolishly. The guy’s luck was so strong that it was enviable.

However, the behavior of these beasts bred by Robert when they saw humans made Lorant somewhat puzzled.

Normal beast pets, when they see humans, especially higher-level ones, often show a lot of affection, like the Glassy Ice Flame Dog, which starts wagging its tail and acting coquettishly with people as soon as it hatches.

The lower the level, the less lively the beast pets appear. For example, the beast pet Slime—those little ones don’t particularly seek out human contact after birth, nor do they show any emotional expressions.

When it comes to E-level beast pets like the Bamboo Lantern Ghost, forget about acting coquettishly with people, their reactions to the outside world are very slow, doing whatever they please, and aside from not attacking humans easily, they lack the liveliness of other beast pets.

To put it nicely, they are independent; to put it bluntly, they are a bit dumb, giving the impression of not being very intelligent.

The same command, a high-level beast pet only needs to hear it once and can understand most of it by matching the owner’s actions and expressions, but for the Spitroot and Bamboo Lantern, these little ones might not understand a single command even after five or six years.

In Lorant’s eyes, apart from strength, the most obvious difference among beast pet levels is intelligence. The lowest E-level beast pets have almost no intelligence; they survive purely on instinct, not even as intelligent as most beasts.

However, as beast pets, they do not attack humans without reason, so even if they are weak in ability, they can still play the role of a family companion pet in Lorant’s heart.

The presence or absence of unprovoked aggression is an important distinction between beast pets and beasts.

When Lorant walked into Robert’s beast pen and saw the beast pets inside without being attacked immediately, he knew Robert had really struck gold with his luck.

These little things, whose appearance is hard to describe, seemed completely unaware that two living people had entered, still wriggling on their own, but they indeed showed no aggressive tendencies towards the two.

Based on this alone, Lorant dared to say these were beast pets and not secondary beasts.

However...

"Forgive me for saying so, Robert, but these little ones look really..." Lorant’s face showed a complex mix of disdain and horror: "This is the first time I’ve seen little ones with such an appearance..."

As he spoke, Lorant noticed one little one slowly but surely wriggling towards him, but this was definitely not a sign of affection between a beast pet and a human. The little one was just aimlessly crawling forward, completely indifferent to whether it was moving towards a rock or something else.

Watching the gradually approaching beast pet, Lorant couldn’t help but take half a step back. He was really worried about touching the oddly shaped little one, and just the thought of it made him tremble uncontrollably.

Too scary!

Robert twitched his mouth. Although the beast pets bred by a breeder should be as important as their own children, or even more so, he couldn’t in good conscience say that these children looked, well, ordinary.

No matter how much he might favor his own children, Robert could never praise his beast pets for being cute in appearance.

Because these beast pets looked too strange.

Each of them had a completely different appearance, but that wasn’t enough to surprise Lorant; he had seen many such beast pets.

What horrified him was that the bodies of these beast pets looked like they were made up of large chunks of minced meat...

As they moved, they looked like chunks of minced meat taking small steps on the ground, with the minced meat on their bodies trembling and shaking with each step, as if it might fall off at any moment.

Although these beast pets are not very large now, each only the size of a fist, that is enough to give Lorant goosebumps all over his body.

He wanted to touch this new beast pet to check its real information on his bestiary, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it...

Robert was a bit better in this regard, as he had already gotten used to the appearance of his beast pets. He bent down, picked one up, and handed it to Lorant, looking somewhat embarrassed as he said, "Lorant, I know this little guy doesn't look, um, very good, but they are indeed beast pets, right?" Robert looked at Lorant with sparkling eyes, hoping for a positive answer.

In terms of beast pets, Lorant was undoubtedly the sole standard and true authority. Only his affirmation could truly confirm Robert's success.

Lorant looked at the beast pet that Robert had lifted up, its belly exposed and facing upwards, which actually made it look a bit better, and silently sighed in relief.

From above, this creature looked like a pile of meat chunks, but it appeared much more normal when flipped over.

Its belly was unexpectedly clean and looked quite soft, with six tiny legs flailing vigorously, clearly not enjoying the weightless state. At the same time, Lorant finally discovered where the little creature's facial features were located.

The facial features of this strange little creature were actually on the underside of its body, which meant they could hardly see what was in front of them, explaining their behavior of bumping around aimlessly.

Lorant reached out, following Robert's lead, and poked at the little creature's belly and claws. He then quickly clapped his hands, signaling the end of his inspection.

"Congratulations, Robert, you are really a lucky guy to be envied. This is indeed a new type of beast pet, you've succeeded!" Lorant said, spreading his hands to Robert.

Robert's eyes widened. Although he had already concluded in his heart, he was still overjoyed upon finally receiving Lorant's affirmation!

"Ahhh! Great! Great! I've succeeded!" Robert suddenly started running wildly around the laboratory, vividly acting out a scene of someone who had just achieved a long-sought success.

Lorant didn't disturb him; this was an important moment in Robert's life, and he needed to vent his emotions properly.

However, seeing Robert pick up the beast pet he was holding and give it a hard kiss, Lorant leaned back in disgust, finding it hard to imagine the feeling of kissing a piece of raw meat...

In the midst of Robert's excitement, Lorant took a moment to open his bestiary.

The moment he touched this beast pet, the bestiary in his mind had reacted accordingly.

Under the directory of E-level beast pets, following "Firework Sprite," a new line was quickly added.

"Meat Mountain"………………………………..E0005.

Clicking into this directory, the bestiary flipped open along the familiar path to Lorant.

In an expression of sheer horror, a giant beast pet, magnified countless times, clunked out from the depths of the pages to stand before him.

How big was it?

Even the largest beast pet in the shop, the Floating Giant Duck, didn't have such an exaggerated projection when it appeared in the bestiary.

Lorant even faintly felt his bestiary tremble slightly from the heavy footsteps of this enormous beast.

The adult Meat Mountain looked almost like a scaled-up version of its current juvenile form, and magnified countless times, Lorant could clearly see the irregular chunks of bloody meat on the creature's body!

This was absolutely terrifying! It was a brutal assault on the psyche.

Lorant tried to avert his gaze, waiting for the Meat Mountain to slowly turn around and leave before he began to focus on the abilities of this beast pet.

Although Robert was the one who discovered the breeding method for these beast pets, he didn't understand the abilities of the mutant beasts he had bred.

On the way, Robert mentioned that the main reason he considered this a strange beast pet was that he hadn't detected any energy fluctuations from them so far.

This frustrated him greatly, as in Robert's understanding, even the Bamboo Lantern had its own abilities—at least that little guy could float!

Yet, his beast pets hadn't displayed any special abilities at all.

When Lorant saw the skills of this pet, he immediately understood why this Robert had been so clueless.

"Skills":

"Meat Mountain": Meat Mountain has a huge body but moves slowly, making it hard to defend itself. It grows thick chunks of meat that fall off when threatened, distracting predators and helping it escape safely.

After noticing the skill shared the pet's name and giving it some thought, Lorant's eyes widened in surprise. This realization hit him hard.

He realized this pet could revolutionize the world as we know it!
