Chapter 265 Dou Family_2
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Authentic, great stuff."
Then, Qin Xuan explained to Chen Xing, "The physical constitution of a Beast Tamer is relatively fragile compared to their beasts, so the Exotic Region has developed Resonant Spirit Armor.
Wearing this kind of armor not only significantly enhances the physical constitution but also effectively defends against various elemental skills. Unfortunately, the materials used to make this armor are too rare, resulting in low production.
In fact, we have it in Great Xia as well, but the production is low, and the quality is hard to guarantee. Most of it is provided to the army. Old Liu, after we finish this job, can we take this Spirit Armor with us?"
Chief Liu, "What do you think?"
"Before wearing it, we need to do some preparations," Chief Liu said, taking out a delicate box from the case.
He gently opened the box, inside which lay a palm-sized ice-blue butterfly, quietly resting.
Qin Xuan took the butterfly and deftly patted it onto his body.
The butterfly instantly shattered into icy debris, but in the void, countless blue light spots began to diffuse.
Qin Xuan, familiar with the process, stepped forward and opened his arms, letting his body be completely enveloped by these blue light spots.
Moments later, his entire body was closely surrounded by blue light spots, as if he had donned a mysterious veil.
Qin Xuan turned to Chen Xing and explained, "This is a Zero Point Ice Butterfly. After special processing, their body fragments can conceal our aura and also form a protective layer on our skin's surface. This film can prevent the natural loss of our body tissues over a short duration, usually used for concealing identities."
"What is the natural loss of body tissues?" Chen Xing asked curiously.
"It means no hair or skin flakes will fall off," Qin Xuan said seriously.
Chen Xing: "..."
"Its main function is to hide the scent. You know how sensitive some beasts' noses are."
Chen Xing followed the procedure, and when he was also surrounded by a layer of faint blue light spots, he felt his body very cool, as if he were carrying a personal air conditioner.
Then he donned a set of full-body armor. The armor from the Grand City Imperial Guards of Fentian Giant City wore a bit large on him and felt stuffy, but due to the fragments of the Zero Point Ice Butterflies, it wasn't too hot.
Chen Xing clenched his fist and knocked on his chest, the dull metallic sound echoing in the secret room.
...
The four came out of the cave and Chen Xing realized they were indeed in the wilderness.
"Let's go. We'll ride the Ghostly Fire Bats over. That way we won't leave any trace," Qin Xuan summoned a Beast the size of a small airliner, which looked like a giant grey bat with fluffy ears burning with blue flames.
Chen Xing and the others stepped onto the thick, rug-like back of the Ghostly Fire Bat, feeling soft and comfortable. Once all four were aboard, the Ghostly Fire Bat took off in place, then flew towards a certain direction.
During the flight, the Ghostly Fire Bat's speed increased, and its body surface gradually blurred, eventually becoming semi-transparent.
Astonishingly, the four riding on its back also turned semi-transparent, as if they had merged with the Ghostly Fire Bat and vanished into thin air.
This must be the Ghostly Fire Bat's Innate Skill.
"You all have Fire Attribute Beasts, right?"
High in the sky, Qin Xuan shouted, his voice barely audible because of the altitude.
Chen Xing gave a thumbs-up.
Sìxiàng naturally possesses Fire Attribute, though its Fire Attribute skills are almost non-existent, but to impersonate a Fire Attribute Beast still posed no problem!
Sìxiàng's main reliance in combat is on Dark Death Nether Flame. Chen Xing casually checked the Proficiency Level of Dark Death Nether Flame.
Hmm? The Proficiency Level of Dark Death Nether Flame had unknowingly reached Transcendence, with a proficiency of 1012, just right for enhancing the skill once.
It seems Master Sì was really working hard when grilling barbecue.
The mini-game for increasing Dark Death Nether Flame Proficiency Levels is the 'Underworld Meat Skewer', which requires using Dark Death Nether Flame for grilling. The skewers produced must earn genuine praise from the tasters, with a satisfaction level over 80.
With that group of greedy pups in the breeding farm, as long as the skewers are genuine, they are very generous when it comes to giving good ratings.
Chen Xing casually clicked to enhance.
Please choose one of the following five optimization directions:
1. Dark Death Nether Flame can be transformed into flames of different colors (Rare)
2. Dark Death Nether Flame reduces magic power consumption (Common)
3. The burning ability of Dark Death Nether Flame is enhanced (Common)
4. The skill to disguise Dark Death Nether Flame as other attributes, while its appearance remains the same, but the attribute changes to Fire Element, and it still possesses all the effects of the Dark Death Nether Flame. (Rule Level)
5. The corrosive ability of Dark Death Nether Flame is strengthened (Rare)
Chen Xing's eyes locked onto the first enhancement path, "Man, who can resist a flame that changes colors like a neon light!
But it's just a rare effect, and there's an even rarer Rule level effect below.
A skill for the Dark Death Nether Flame to mimic other attributes?
Sounds useless, and seems pretty useless in practice too...
But this ability to transform if further researched seems quite nice, if this represents a Power of Laws, would it be considered "imitation," "replication," or even "illusion"?
Chen Xing chose the fourth option, alas, the colorful flames...next time if there's a choice, he'd pick it.
Qin Xuan saw Qiu Shangqing with his hands behind his back, calmly staring ahead.
Thinking Old Master Qiu hadn't heard him, he stepped forward and shouted in his ear, "Old senior, do you have a Fire Element Beast Taming?"
Qiu Shangqing, slightly annoyed, patted his shoulder, "I'm not hard of hearing, young man. If I didn't have a Fire Element Beast Taming, why would I come here with you?"
Qin Xuan felt that what Qiu Shangqing said made sense, but why did it still feel weird...
Who would expect you, an internationally renowned Water Element Beast Tamer, to have a Fire Element Beast Taming!
Qin Xuan secretly muttered, those who idolize old Qiu as a Water Element Beast Tamer would be beating their chests if they found out he secretly cultivated a Fire Element Beast Taming.
With his status, not having heard it before, he could guarantee that very few people in the country would know.
It was indeed deeply hidden.
Qiu Shangqing said slowly, "Don't go around talking about it after we go out."
After more than three hours of flight, Chen Xing and the other three finally arrived at their destination.
From a high altitude, a chain of ramparts appeared in Chen Xing's vision, resembling a small county town.
This was a rare view of an Exotic Region city from this angle, as the cities in Exotic Regions usually had no-fly rules; except for the City Guard Army, ordinary people were strictly banned from flying overhead.
Looking from above, the buildings in the city were generally not tall, appearing ancient and compact.
The population within the city was quite dense, mostly concentrated around several northern streets.
Surrounding the city, several clusters of buildings embellished the outskirts, mostly small in scale, gathered like villages.
Next to these clusters of buildings were vast fields.
Qin Xuan took out a photo from his storage ring, then began delegating tasks after confirming the critical locations against the photo.
"I'll take the Dou family clan ground, Tian Yi, you're responsible for the southern market, Chen Xing, you take the suburban estates, and old Qiu oversees it all, checking for any oversights."
Qiu Shangqing looked at Qin Xuan with a half-smile, but said nothing, "Alright, just as you all said."
"There is the suburban estate, according to the intelligence, it is a Resource Point, where many Water Marsh Purple Lychees are planted, among other things."
Pausing, Qin Xuan continued, "That is a key resource point nurtured by the Dou Family, and its protective forces are sure to be strong. Any problem?"
"No problem," Chen Xing nodded.
During the flight here, Qin Xuan had thoroughly briefed them on the intelligence stating that the strongest Beast Tamer in the Dou Family only possessed a Transcendence Sixth Level beast.
There is a barrier between Transcendence Sixth Level and Transcendence Seventh Level, and the maximum energy level for most beasts is difficult to surpass this threshold.
The Transcendence Sixth-Level old clan member, according to intelligence, likely resides in the Dou family clan ground.
Beyond that, the strongest Beast Tamers stationed elsewhere are merely at Transcendence Fifth Level.
