Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 645: Chapter 296: My Poison, There Is No Antidote!_2

”Brother, will cousin be alright?”

Rong Mang didn’t speak. He knew the power discrepancy was simply too vast. So vast that he couldn’t even offer his sister a word of comfort.

”Cousin, you need to be careful. Bloodthirst’s poison has no antidote. When the time comes, only Life Series resources can be used for a blood transfusion to detoxify... But don’t worry, cousin, I will show mercy!” Rong Cheng said, watching Su Ping’s mutated Forest Wolf with a smirk of disdain.

Su Ping didn’t mind the comment, but Xiao Qing, in front of him, slowly opened its wolf muzzle and let out an unhappy, threatening growl. Clearly, Xiao Qing was very dissatisfied with the enemy’s contempt.

Rong Cheng didn’t care in the slightest, waving his hand, ”Bloodthirst, attack!”

This was an informal battle, with no referees or the like. The fight had begun the moment both sides summoned their Pet Beasts.

WHOOSH...

A ferocious sound of cutting through the air reverberated. Through the air, a streak of blood light sped furiously. It left a blood-red arc in the sky. It was the Blood Mosquito’s skill, ’Layered Blood Shadows.’ Its speed increased explosively, faster than thunder.

Rong Cheng was very satisfied with his Pet Beast’s performance but still slightly worried, so he hurriedly instructed through the Soul Contract, ”Bloodthirst, don’t be too harsh!”

Su Ping wasn’t some poor relative from outside; no matter what, life-threatening situations couldn’t be allowed to occur.

”SCREECH~”

A piercing noise emanated from the erupting Blood Mosquito. At the same time, dark red lines surprisingly spread out from Xiao Qing’s body, as if they were spider webs, slowly enveloping Xiao Qing.

Blood Corrupting Technique!

This was the source of Rong Cheng’s confidence. The Blood Corrupting Technique was a Poison Type Skill aimed at the blood of Living Beings. Its most formidable aspect was its silent initiation—it could act regardless of distance. The high Cultivation difficulty and value of the Blood Mosquito were largely due to this Blood Corrupting Technique, which could be developed through Cultivation. Once activated, a Pet Beast’s blood would be contaminated. Most Pet Beasts, once their blood was tainted, would suffer reduced strength and could even die. More often than not, the targets wouldn’t even know why they had become food for the Blood Mosquito. This Skill was both wicked and mysterious.

Rong Mang pursed his lips. Was this the end?

Earlier, his cousin had been so full of confidence. If he were now defeated in an instant by Rong Cheng, it would not only greatly damage his cousin’s confidence but also cause significant dissatisfaction among the Rong Family’s many juniors towards their grandfather. With such a huge power gap, how could the Egg of the Five Saints be given so rashly to such a person?

But just as many people, including Rong Cheng, were convinced that the matter was settled, Xiao Qing didn’t show any reaction, seemingly oblivious to the blood-red lines spreading over its body. It calmly watched the Blood Mosquito flying above, its emerald pupils revealing a hint of mockery. Yes, mockery.

Xiao Qing’s Level was indeed not high, and it was quite inferior to this Blood Mosquito. If it faced attacks from other Attributes or Skills, it wouldn’t just stand by; it would resist and dodge. But Poison Type attacks? That was a different story.

This was not to mention the recent enhancement from absorbing Biyao Chunshen—the source of Biyao Chunshen’s supreme toxicity. The mere fact that Xiao Qing’s mutated Skill, Heart of the Poison Wood, had now reached the peak of Proficiency, allowing it to absorb many Poison Type abilities, combined with Xiao Qing’s own inherent resistance, was enough to grant it significant immunity to such so-called Poison Type abilities.
Then, to everyone’s astonishment, the dark red lines that encased Xiao Qing slowly disappeared, assimilating into its body.

What the hell was this? Even Rong Cheng asked the Blood Mosquito over the Soul Contract, ”Bloodthirst, I only told you not to go for the kill. Why did you stop when the Blood Corrupting Technique hasn’t taken effect?”

Looking at its master aggrievedly, the Blood Mosquito wondered, Was it the one that stopped?
