Chapter 427

Chapter 427

Lorant has always had high hopes for the pair of Dream Jellyfish and Healing Chime currently in breeding.

These two types of beast companions are quite special, having appeared unique from the very moment their breeding paths were discovered.

Lorant never imagined that the same breeding path could equally yield two types of beast companions.

Unlike the relationship between Ghost Spiders and Dream Weavers, these two beast companions are truly symbiotic. The same breeding method produces the same monster eggs, and what hatches from them is entirely a matter of chance.

This was an experience Lorant had never encountered before.

At least in terms of incubation time, the monster eggs of Ghost Spiders are completely different from those of Dream Weavers.

Moreover, he firmly believes that even though the ability chart hasn't shown any information yet, these two beast companions of the same origin must be able to produce unique synergies.

This is not just Lorant's wishful thinking.

There is indeed a subtle connection between beast companions that is hard to pinpoint and cannot be clearly proven but is undeniably there.

Just like the Holy Light Peacock and those priests, both healers, when facing beast companions, the Holy Light Peacock can perform far beyond priests of the same level.

It can even surpass practitioners of the same level by one or two ranks.

But when dealing with ordinary practitioners, the difference between the two becomes far less noticeable.

As for those auxiliary-type beast companions, Lorant has also found that when their abilities are used on other beast companions, though not as obvious as the Holy Light Peacock, they do achieve better results than when used on humans or practitioners of other races.

There must be some connection between beast companions.

Lorant is absolutely certain of this.

In fact, within a week of the Shadowstrike Cats being bred, these two beast companions had taken the final step before birth.

......

Lorant stood solemnly in the vastly transformed breeding room of the beast warehouse, gazing at the two astonishingly large beasts before him.

One of them is the secondary beast 'Savage Giant Elephant,' a name that clearly hints at its impressive size.

It seems to be at least a hundred meters tall.

To house this enormous beast, the entire layout of the beast warehouse had to be changed.

The floor of the breeding room, which originally covered only one level, was opened up to incorporate the five levels below the beast warehouse.

Moreover, the surrounding walls were pushed outward, expanding the entire beast breeding room many times over.

Only this way could this excessively large secondary beast be barely housed.

Lorant could only silently thank himself for considering the need to house such oversized live beasts when he built the beast warehouse, making ample preparations at the time.

Even a hundred-meter-tall giant could be squeezed into the beast warehouse, though this live beast couldn't be confined to a single level like the others.

The height of each level in the beast warehouse, even at its maximum, couldn't possibly reach a hundred meters.

The 'Savage Giant Elephant' is like a massive curtain adorning the most prominent part of the beast warehouse, spanning every level.

Walking beside this giant's cage, no matter which level of the warehouse you're on, you can clearly see its shape.

Just like the massive curtain in a department store that stretches from the first floor to the top, this terrifying beast is showcased by Lorant in a transparent cage here.

Indeed, a spectacle.

Apart from this term, Lorant couldn't think of a better adjective to describe the current state of these live beasts.

It was trapped in a cage not much larger than its own body, with no room to move, only pacing back and forth in place, emitting frustrated wails.

When no humans were in sight, the secondary beasts were relatively quieter compared to normal beasts, making them easier to control.

This isn't to say that Lorant deliberately mistreated these beasts; it was simply that their size was overwhelmingly large, and even the current beast store couldn't provide living conditions that matched their natural habitat.

When dealing with smaller live beasts, Lorant could consider their need for activity, their living conditions, and various other needs, striving to make these cruel beasts live comfortably, even happily, under his care, ensuring they could gain weight and adjust their bodies properly for an important breeding session.

However, when Lorant was powerless to change the living conditions of the beasts, he wasn't someone who stubbornly insisted on considering these aspects.

As long as these big creatures didn't die too quickly and could last until his breeding work was completed, Lorant was quite satisfied.

Besides this seemingly prehistoric Colossal Wild Elephant, there was another beast in the beast breeding room.

"The Emerald Colossus Serpent," this was also an enormous beast.

Its body's cross-section was about the width of a heavy truck, appearing quite terrifying.

It hardly seemed like a creature that could exist in this world.

Not to mention its length was even more astonishing; if it were released into the wild and fully extended, this monstrous beast could wrap around the entire fence of the beast store about five or six times!

However, due to its soft and slender body compared to its overall size, this beast now coiled its massive body in the cage, occupying much less space than the elephant.

Though the space it occupied was still considerable, it took up three floors.

But looking at the densely coiled form in the transparent cage, one could imagine the terrifying image of this giant beast if it fully extended its body.

And now, it was in a frustrating state where its head and tail were indistinguishable.

These two live beasts were the largest Lorant had ever used since he started breeding beasts.

Before this, he had never had the experience of using two such astonishing beasts at once.

This even left Lorant somewhat at a loss.

Honestly, before the Colossal Wild Elephant matured, he hadn't anticipated that this secondary beast he had personally bred would have such a terrifying size.

The enormous size posed challenges; whether it was the dosage of anesthetic or aphrodisiac used, it required precise adjustment and judgment based on the size of these two beasts.

An insufficient dosage would be ineffective.

An excessive dosage could directly result in the death of the two beasts.

And it's easy to imagine that these two massive creatures were not easily captured; at that time, to transport several "Emerald Colossus Serpents" from the edge of the Lopulo Mountains by the inlet to the beast store, Lorant had spent countless manpower and resources.

Now, the number of live beasts he had on hand was limited, and Lorant didn't want any accidents to slow down his progress.

Thus, with the assistance of Fa Meng and several other beasts, the floating octopuses carefully injected two special potions into the bodies of the two live beasts.

It's worth mentioning that the needles of those two barrels were thicker than Lorant's arm, and watching them pierce the beasts' bodies made Lorant wince in phantom pain.

However, wounds of this degree were nothing to the two astonishingly large beasts.

They didn't even feel the needles piercing their bodies and continued to roar angrily as usual.

Soon, the effects of the drugs took hold on the two giant beasts, making them more aggressive than usual, violently ramming against their cages.

Luckily, the massive cages designed specifically for containing high-level beasts were made of materials that could withstand such tests.

Although the cages were being struck with deafening force, shaking and making the fragile transparent glass seem as though it might shatter at any moment, they held strong, enduring the relentless impacts.

Lorant stood in place, calmly gazing up, observing the changes gradually taking place in the two beasts within their cages.

The Emerald Colossus Serpent is a creature that, in appearance, resembles a green bamboo viper magnified countless times.

The reason this beast is referred to as a 'serpent' rather than a 'python' is due to its external features and characteristics, which are entirely those of a 'serpent,' and it also possesses deadly venom within its body.

The venom it can spray can envelop an entire plain.

Each of its scales emits a green glow akin to that of emerald, dazzling and enchanting.

The scales of this beast do not possess any special abilities; they are merely a basic, unremarkable high-grade material, much like the scales of the Black Gold Python that Silem once hunted. These scales can be used to inscribe certain high-level magic arrays, but they are not particularly special magical materials.

Therefore, in theory, their market price should not be too high.

However, the scales of the Emerald Colossus Serpent are simply too dazzling and beautiful.

At times, these scales are even used as jewelry worn by noblewomen or as decorative boxes placed on tables.

At this moment, seeing so many beautiful green scales shimmering with a mesmerizing glow before one's eyes, constantly changing forms, is undoubtedly an extremely enjoyable experience.

The beautiful green scales, under the influence of the drug, started to shine even brighter, and at one point, they began to emit a dazzling yellow light.

When the dark green scales, resembling the most elegant deep emerald, completely transformed into honey-yellow, Lorant knew the time was ripe.

The drug he had just injected into the Emerald Colossus Serpent was specifically formulated for this type of beast.

The change in the color of the scales indicated the subtle changes occurring within the beast's body.

The honey-colored giant serpent writhed impatiently within its cage, the frequency of its scales scraping against the walls increasing rapidly.

Under Lorant's command, Kong Yi pressed several buttons on the control panel in front of him. With a rumbling roar, the two beast cages slowly began to merge together.

The clanking sounds echoed throughout the warehouse as one side of the two beast cages solidly merged into one.
