Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 384 - 359: The Time Pet Beast’s Bizarre Schemes
The time reset ability of the Clock Monster couldn’t revert the Power of the Time Domain absorbed by the Curse Crow, so with each absorption, the Clock Monster weakened a bit more.
This particular Clock Monster was rather lucky, surviving five consecutive time resets without dying. However, by the fifth revival, the Curse Crow had drained its entire Time Domain, causing its level to drop to Gold nine.
Jiang Lingyun nudged Li Cunxu from behind, glancing around.
"Boss, I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but it feels like there are many pairs of eyes secretly watching us."
"Your feeling is correct; there are indeed many eyes on us."
Li Cunxu followed the sensation to a prying gaze and saw the Watch Monster peeking at them from the attic window of a house.
Actually, in this secret realm, for those unfamiliar with its intelligence, the Watch Monster is the most dangerous. Their levels are relatively low, they’re small and can become invisible, and they don’t initiate attacks, seeming quite friendly. But that’s all an illusion.
If you ignore them, you’ll suffer greatly.
If you fail to notice them in time, you might even die.
The Watch Monsters are influenced by the Time City Monster’s law of killing, similar in murderous intent to the Clock Monster. The reason they appear not to attack is that, in reality, they’ve already secretly gone for the kill on you.
The Watch Monster has a time-stealing skill: as long as they come within ten meters of you, they can steal one minute of your life each time they activate it.
This skill has a disgusting aspect: after a Watch Monster uses it to steal time a hundred times, the effect doubles, stealing two minutes at once and expanding the range to a hundred meters.
Meaning, anyone within a hundred-meter radius can have their life stolen by a Watch Monster.
Once it steals a thousand times, it steals four minutes at once, expanding the range to a thousand meters.
When it steals a million times, it steals eight minutes at once, with the range expanding to ten thousand meters.
...
Who can endure such a thieving method?
Li Cunxu said, "Xiaoruan, expand the All Things Domain by a hundred meters, suppress everything indiscriminately."
In an instant, everything around—buildings, Watch Monsters, Brass Mechanical Horse Carriage, and bionic robots—was flattened.
The bionic robots are another easy trap in this secret realm. Bionic robots without a mechanical soul aren’t mechanical pets. Their behavior is pre-set and poses no threat to people.
If you overlook them, you’ll pay a heavy price.
With careful observation, one can actually discover that the majority of bionic robots wear watches and timepieces.
Those seemingly different watches and timepieces are all disguises of the Watch Monsters.
Don’t think the bionic robots without watches and timepieces are safe; they’re robots and can conceal more than one watch.
Therefore, it’s correct to deal with all the bionic robots in sight.
Pieces of gears and small nuts the size of sand grains fell from where each Watch Monster died, reflecting yellow or silver-white light.
Gears and nuts are time-attribute materials, and no time-attribute material comes cheap.
Li Cunxu waved his hand, using the Celestial Pavilion Ring to collect the small gears and nuts.
The Clock Monster also dropped quite a few items—a palm-sized gear, a fist-sized nut, and that Hourglass Long Spear.
The battlefield hadn’t been cleared yet when disturbances arose from afar, coming from all directions.
Upon a closer look, many Clock Monsters were leaping over rooftops, rushing towards them.
The commotion from earlier must have startled them.
While jumping, the Clock Monsters used time acceleration on their feet, exerting maximum effort as they hurriedly raced to reach Li Cunxu before the others.
Many Clock Monsters threw their Hourglass Long Spears even before they arrived.
One by one, the Hourglass Long Spears flew towards them like missiles, but upon entering the airspace of the All Things Domain, they all landed in vain.
The gap in strength was too vast.
Xiaoruan’s All Things Domain fought evenly with the pet beast of Overlord Three, easily handling this group of lord-level pet beasts.
"Xiaoruan, expand the All Things Domain to five hundred meters."
All the Clock Monsters within the five-hundred-meter radius were flattened; those entering the area afterward also collapsed.
Xiaoruan began marking targets for a kill, waiting for the Curse Crow to absorb the Time Domain from one Clock Monster before killing another.
Though Jiang Lingyun had witnessed this scene many times, she was still awestruck.
Even Li Cunxu couldn’t help but sigh.
"A domain truly is a divine tool for crushing weaklings."
With Xiaoruan’s help, the Curse Crow’s Time Domain rapidly expanded.
Two thousand meters.
Three thousand meters.
Four thousand meters.
When it reached four thousand meters, Li Cunxu called a halt.
"Prepare for battle and retreat."
Li Cunxu looked towards the marching Clock Tower Monster, his expression slightly serious.
The Clock Monster’s evolved form—Clock Tower Monster.
Every Clock Tower Monster exists at the Overlord level and possesses a skill Li Cunxu fears immensely.
Upon seeing this Clock Tower Monster’s level, Overlord Seven.
Li Cunxu decisively decided to retreat. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Why fight when you cannot win?
Though a Clock Tower Monster is only at Overlord Seven, it’s a super rare time-attribute mechanical pet, and its true combat power nears Overlord Nine.
The Clock Tower Monster is strong, but it has a fatal weakness: its speed is too slow.
This is a trait of the Clock Tower Monster race.
The more they evolve, the slower they move.
Watch Monsters, within the low-level pet beast category, are considered particularly fast; it’s one of their advantages.
Once evolved into a Clock Monster, that advantage disappears. Their speed appears rather mediocre among those of the same level.
A Clock Tower Monster, even an Overlord Nine Clock Tower Monster, isn’t as fast as a Lord Nine Clock Monster.
The ultimate evolution, the Time City Monster, resembles a castle, and its cumbersome weight makes its speed at the King level comparable to that of a tortoise.
Li Cunxu mounted the Flame White Horse, and within three minutes, they’d left the Clock Tower Monster far behind.
Continuing to mark and kill Clock Monsters, enhancing the Curse Crow’s Time Domain.
Five days later, the Curse Crow’s Time Domain reached the lord-level limit of ten thousand meters.
Fifteen days later, Xiaoruan’s All Things Domain expanded to fifty thousand meters.
A fifty-thousand-meter All Things Domain marks a qualitative leap.
Xiaoruan said, "I have a vague intuition that my All Things Domain can decompose the Overlord pet’s Dominator Body, absorbing Domain Power from it."
"Decomposing the Dominator Body to absorb Domain Power from it? Is a fifty-thousand-meter All Things Domain really that strong?" Li Cunxu exclaimed in disbelief.
To test Xiaoruan’s intuition, Li Cunxu hunted an Overlord Four Clock Tower Monster.
The hunt for the Clock Tower Monster involved Xiaoruan and the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon.
The Blood Dragon Domain and the All Things Domain both spread out.
The All Things Domain merged into the Blood Dragon Domain, initiating Domain Transformation of the Dragon.
Integrated with the All Things Domain, the Blood Dragon Domain transformed directly into a Blood Dragon with the strength of Overlord Five.
The Blood Dragon and Clock Tower Monster grappled and twisted together.
Jiang Lingyun said, "Aren’t we a bit too far away?"
The two’s positions were a ten-thousand-meter distance away from the battlefield.
"To guard against the Clock Tower Monster’s special time-attribute ultimate move, it’s necessary to be this far."
