Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 355: Chapter 253: Befriending

"Oh?"

Han Ning’s eyes lit up when he heard Cang Yu’s words.

He hadn’t expected this old geezer to actually know an Insect Master who raised Gray Demon Whales.

"We’ve had some dealings." A nearly fawning smile appeared on Cang Yu’s rugged face, a rather unsettling sight.

"I have a mission for you. Arrange a meeting with that Insect Master. It would be best if you could have him bring a few Gray Demon Whale cubs or adults."

Han Ning considered the matter. If Cyan God Armor were to unilaterally trade for Gray Demon Whales with the Abyssal Rock Ant Tribe, it might attract unwanted attention from other Insect Masters in both tribes. Therefore, the best-case scenario was to also turn the Insect Master handling the exchange into a Child Insect Puppet.

That way, both sides would be his own people, ensuring to the greatest extent that no information would leak and security would be guaranteed.

"Master, what is the approximate timeframe?"

"The sooner, the better. Get some rest first. When you’re about to meet with them, let me know. I need to be there," Han Ning said.

"Yes." The two nodded in unison.

"I’ll be leaving now. Oh... right. Take out the pouches you carry at your waists. And next time we meet, remember to bring all of your possessions."

"We obey your command." Like fanatical believers, the two brothers showed no hesitation. They untied the exquisite pouches from their waists, raised them over their heads, and presented them to Han Ning.

Taking the two pouches and rummaging through them casually, Han Ning was nearly blinded by the dazzling glow of Spiritual Energy emanating from within.

Cang Shi’s collection had been a small mountain of War General Level Crystal Stones.

These two guys’ collection consisted of various Lord Level materials, piled into several small mountains.

There were even a few Crystal Stones that, despite appearing to be sealed under multiple layers, still radiated terrifying fluctuations. They were placed in the deepest part of the pouches.

’Monarch Level... As expected of minor managers from the Ancestor Family. They have way too many precious materials.’

The three Star Cores and various Golems in Night Nether City were too high-end for Han Ning, their construction still a mystery to him. The Crystal Stones shimmering before him with a multicolored Spiritual Energy glow, however, were exactly the treasures he needed most right now.

’Wood, Earth, Wind... A total of six Crystal Stones of at least Monarch I Level. With these materials, I can probably start preparing for Egg Pancake’s evolution ritual.’

There were two branches for Egg Pancake’s evolution. The first was to continue enhancing its bloodline, transforming it completely into a true Giant Dragon.

The second branch was a pure Element form. Han Ning chose not to take this path, as the requirements were too demanding.

Just think about it: transforming a Soul Beast made entirely of flesh and blood into a pure Elemental Spiritual Creature was a task where the effort would far outweigh the reward.

Therefore, he only planned to have Egg Pancake follow the path of the Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon.

The Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon was a Soul Beast with B+ Talent. Gathering the materials for its evolution was extremely difficult, second only to the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm emerging from its cocoon.

But with the help of Insect Masters from the Ancestor Family, Han Ning could see a glimmer of hope.

He suddenly thought of something and began to ask:

"I remember that you people from the Ancestor Family carved up the Burning Fire Race’s legacy. Who ended up with that Golden Flame Rock Dragon?"

He asked this because the Golden Flame Rock Dragon and Egg Pancake’s evolved form, the Red Lotus Earth Flame Dragon, were both Fire and Earth Soul Beasts. The former had a lower Talent of only B Level, but the Golden Flame Rock Dragon’s body parts could surely provide some of the materials needed for Egg Pancake’s evolution. In theory, there would be some overlap.

Moreover, the Golden Flame Rock Dragon was at least a Monarch Level Soul Beast, so the quality of its materials would be good.

"Answering Master, it was also the Abyssal Rock Ant Tribe. The Golden Flame Rock Dragon was not truly killed; it was suppressed deep within the earth’s ley lines to provide them with a constant supply of Fire and Earth Spiritual Energy. If you wish to gather information about it, I can make inquiries," Cang Yu said respectfully.

"Forget it. We need to avoid alerting the enemy. Handle the Gray Demon Whale matter first. After that, remember to secretly gather the following materials for me: a Monarch Level Fire Dragon Heart, a high-pressure environment capable of producing Earth Core Fragments, a Divine Intent Seed from a Red Lotus Mountain Beast..." Han Ning rattled off a list of seven or eight extremely precious materials.

As he spoke, even the Cang Yu and Cang Wu brothers, who were from the Ancestor Family, wore increasingly colorful expressions.

"Master... We will do our utmost to gather the materials you mentioned... but it may take a great deal of time." Cang Yu didn’t dare to refuse Han Ning, so he could only reply in a more tactful manner.

"Just collect what you can. I won’t force you. And as I said before, the Gray Demon Whale matter takes precedence over everything."

"Yes!"

A Soul Beast with B+ Talent, according to Hom, was an incredibly rare existence even within their Witch Spirit Race. The final evolved form of a typical Soul Beast was only B Level.

The tier of a life-form couldn’t be transformed so easily. Han Ning wasn’t in a hurry about this, either. Egg Pancake still had a long way to go before reaching the Lord Limit.

The Lord Level wasn’t like the War General Level. He roughly estimated that even with 300,000 Energy on hand, he could only increase one Lord Soul Beast’s Cultivation Progress by 60%.

At the Lord Level, it took 5 points of Energy to exchange for 1 Attribute Point.

Which of his little guys at home didn’t have a Cultivation Progress cap approaching 100,000, or even more than 100,000?

...

The meeting with the Abyssal Rock Ant Insect Master would probably take a day or two to arrange, so Han Ning decided to first return to the academy with Qingyao.

Afterward, he emptied the contents of the two Insect Masters’ waist pouches and let Qingyao pick whatever it wanted.

This operation, it could be said, would have been impossible without Qingyao’s help. It was the primary contributor, and Han Ning didn’t consider himself the type of person who takes things for free.
