Beast Control: Starting from raising silkworms and becoming the King of Insects.

Chapter 169 Information exchange before action
It took Tian Tian about three days to sew two sets of interchangeable cross-country clothes for Russell, as well as a very sturdy rucksack.

Relying on the spindle mother insect's innate skill of "light dense weaving", these cloth equipment are both light and tough, and very comfortable to the touch.

Even a Daolang who has reached the fourth level cannot easily scratch it without opening the alloy claw.

Moreover, Tian Tian, ​​who has aesthetic obsessive-compulsive disorder, also carefully designed the style of this costume.

In her words, "If the clothes I make don't look good when worn, how can I survive in the art world in the future?"

Finally, Tian Tian customized a cross-country suit for Russell based on his identity as an insect beast master, with a pattern on the shoulders and back with a slight insect wing design.

During the production process, Tian Tian also specially asked Russell to bring a bundle of yarn of the night, and made the cross-country clothes into a dark green color with good hiding ability in woodlands and dark places.

Putting on this expensive new clothes, and letting Ayou, who was covered in black mist, rest on his shoulders, Russell felt that he looked like a master.

As for the rucksack, at Russell's insistence Tian Tian woven it into the simplest basic style and expanded the capacity as much as possible.

After putting in another set of cross-country clothes, a tent, and a lot of medicines, there is still room for a small amount of daily necessities.

After thinking for a moment, Russell decided to stuff more energy-rich compressed nutrition bars into his backpack.

This kind of pet food is completely mixed and purified from various lowest-level breeding materials. It has only simple attributes and no breeding effect. It is purely used to replenish energy.

Theoretically speaking, when a pet beast stays in the beast control space, its energy and physical consumption will become very low. It does not matter if it does not eat for a short period of time.

But if you encounter a battle, the situation is completely different.

Every time after experiencing a fierce battle, Ayou and Daolang had to eat double or even triple the daily amount of food in order to effectively replenish the body's losses and return to full condition as soon as possible.

If he relied on ordinary cultivation materials to support combat supplies, Russell would have to carry at least a hundred kilograms. Not to mention that the backpack would not be able to hold it, and he would be exhausted after walking for a long time.

And one or two high-grade compressed nutrition bars can help a fourth-level pet beast recover its exhausted energy.
Russell squeezed the empty space in his backpack and stuffed twenty or thirty nutrition bars into it. As long as he did not encounter high-intensity battles continuously, this amount could last at least ten days and a half.

As for the rations for humans, Russell only used a corner of his backpack to symbolically pack a little bit.

Anyway, the main force in exploring the secret realm is the pet beast, so I only need to walk and ensure my own safety.

Eat some ordinary dry food which is the most hungry thing, and think of it as losing weight...

It's really no longer possible. As long as the energy in Xiao Qi's body is still sufficient, Russell can still drink the honeydew secreted by Xiao Qi to survive.

In addition, Tian Tian also used the remaining fabric to make an exquisite small shoulder bag for Russell to hide Xiao Qi.

The size of this shoulder bag is larger than Xiao Qi's body. By the way, the bottle of Earth Mother Crystal can be placed in it, so that it can condense the earth wall to protect its owner at any time.

"Huh... I still feel like the backpack is not enough."

Russell still said with some regret after stuffing the backpack that was enough to stuff two large watermelons.

As an ignorant girl, Tian Tian didn't know about exploring the secret realm. She thought Russell was tired of staying in the city and wanted to explore the Black Dew Forest.

"If you want to bring more stuff, you don't have to carry it yourself. You can contract or buy a trained pet beast."

Seeing that he was so confused about the use of backpack space, Tian Tian kindly suggested.

"Well...thank you for your suggestion, but I haven't decided what type of mount pet to use yet."

Russell has actually thought about this issue. The three-eyed cat eagle equipped by the Alliance Security Team can carry one person and one or two hundred kilograms of supplies. It is a very good pet beast.

But he is not a peace officer who only patrols urban areas. Using a non-contracted pet beast in the wild is often not a wise thing to do.

For example, non-contracted beasts cannot be brought into the beast-controlling space, and there is basically no bond with the beast-controller. Their whereabouts are easily exposed, and they are likely to defect directly when in danger.

With the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, Russell would definitely only choose an insect-type pet beast even if it was a contract mount.

However, most of the insect beasts are small in size. The few pet beasts such as yak beetles that can bear the weight of an adult plus supplies are extremely bulky and are basically used for transporting goods.

This time to explore the secret place, Russell really had to rely on his own legs to walk.

…………

After getting a complete set of off-road equipment and waiting for a few days, news related to the secret realm finally came from the Beast Control Alliance.

One morning, before Russell had time to wash his hair, he was pulled into a video conference by Dr. Natsuki's fatal serial calls.

"Russell, this is General Mo Lin, whom you met last time."

After the video was connected, Dr. Xiamu first solemnly introduced the serious-looking middle-aged man next to him with a capable temperament.

"Hello Hello……"

Hearing this, Russell quickly tried his best to help his raised chicken coop head and greeted him very politely.

After all, this is the top beast master in the entire southern principality. Even if he has no idea of ​​developing within the beast master alliance, he still has to be given [-]% respect in the face of this strength.

"Russell... I remember you. There are really many talents in Senluo City now."

Seeing Russell's polite appearance, General Mo Lin nodded slightly and gave him a friendly smile.

As the commander of the last operation to capture the Moon Demon Rabbits, while fighting the two Moon Demon Rabbits, he was also always paying attention to the evacuation of other personnel. Naturally, he saw Russell fighting bravely.

The UFO Hawk Moth possesses powerful group attack capabilities, and his body skills are not weaker than those of most fighting beasts. The large sword mantis can enter and leave the beast group seven times...

When he learned that the large secret realm in the Black Dew Forest was an insect trial secret realm, the first candidate that General Mo Lin thought of for exploration was Russell.

In addition to General Mo Lin and Dr. Xia Mu, there were two young men and a woman in the video conference. However, the leader was speaking, so they consciously did not interrupt.

"This is information about the secret realm. I'll share it in my memories. You can take a look first."

After routinely emphasizing the importance of this operation and the huge value it would bring in the future, General Mo Lin sent a confidential document to the shared information column.

"Black Dew Secret Realm Intelligence Data Version 3.0..." Realizing that the long-awaited operation to encircle and suppress the pirate fire group and explore the secret realm was about to be officially launched, Russell immediately started reading it carefully.

Because it is located deep in the Black Dew Forest, and seems to be directly related to the source of Black Dew, a cultivation material, this secret realm is straightforwardly named the "Black Dew Secret Realm."

Like the information Russell had previously obtained, the Black Dew Secret Realm is indeed an insect-type trial secret realm.

According to the characteristics of the trial secret realm, non-insect pet beasts cannot enter. Even if they stay in the beast control space and follow it, they cannot be summoned to fight.

Secondly, this secret trial realm will also repel false insect beast masters.

Dr. Natsuki has said before that there are a large number of fossil beasts living in the secret realm, and they are very sensitive to the breath of life and energy fluctuations.

If the beast master who enters the secret realm only contracts an insect beast temporarily and has not really lived together for a long time, and the insect attribute aura on his body is too weak, he will be attacked by a large number of fossil beasts.

Russell was a little surprised when he saw this information, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was actually reasonable.

After all, the people of the Stealing Fire Group have always done things unscrupulously. If the Black Dew Secret Realm only restricted the entry of insect-type pets, even if they could not gather high-level combat power, they could temporarily contract some mid-level insect-type pets without the need for Came to the city to kidnap someone.

Sacrificing the contract positions of a few people can control a large secret realm. This is definitely a very cost-effective thing for an organization.

The fossil pet beast's exploration ability well explained Russell's doubts.

At the same time, from the shadow priest's mouth, alliance officials also learned a special piece of information: there are some lord-level fossil beasts living in this secret realm.

They retain part of their territorial awareness, but because they have been in a state of silence for too long, this territorial awareness is not very strong.

In other words, the lords in the secret realm generally choose to ignore intruders who are similar in strength to their own younger brothers.

However, once the attention of these lord-level beasts is attracted, the explorers will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

They basically all have the strength of the sixth level, and with the blessing of the internal environment of the secret realm, even the high-level pet beasts of the seventh level and above may not be able to take too much advantage.

Moreover, relying on the strange energy in the secret realm, the fossil lords can continue to resurrect their subordinates. Even if there are high-level insect beast masters taking action, they may not be able to withstand this continuous offensive.

Generally speaking, the best candidate to enter this secret trial realm is an insect-type professional beast master below level four.

At the end of the information, the conditions for opening the Black Dew Secret Realm are stated.

Compared with the resources that come with a large secret realm, the conditions for opening a secret realm are surprisingly simple.

As long as the aura of a true insect master is sensed, the secret realm door will open, allowing up to three people to enter at a time.

Unless all the people in the previous batch die, the secret realm door will not open again until seven days, during which time it is impossible to enter or leave.

At the bottom of this material, there is also a note:
Information such as the distribution of internal pet beasts, opening and closing conditions, etc. were all gathered by the Fire Stealing Group by forcing some pure life-production beast masters who contracted insect-type pet beasts to enter, and summarized them through their lives.

"It's located near Senluo City. It's pure insect type. It's also stuck in levels... Isn't this tailor-made for me? What a great opportunity!"

After reading the information obtained by the Beast Mastering Alliance during their investigation into the Fire Thief Group, Russell felt that this secret realm was like a meat bun delivered to his door.

At the same time, his dislike for the Fire Thief Group increased a lot again.

As the owner of an insect pet house, Russell had personally encountered the kidnapping behavior of the Fire Pirates.

If he hadn't been a strong professional beastmaster, he would have been captured by the shadow priest and taken back to the Fire Stealing Group's camp, and then forcibly thrown into the secret realm to collect intelligence.

"MD, don't let me meet these perverts in the secret realm!"

Russell felt very unhappy when he thought that there were such extremist organizations circulating in the city where he lived from time to time.

Recalling the dark and arrogant face of the Shadow Priest, his mentality has changed from avoiding fighting if he can to avoiding fighting to death when he sees members of the Fire Stealing Group!
After all, this information about the Black Dew Secret Realm says that when a fifth-level beastmaster or above enters the secret realm, it is easy for them to be attacked by lord-level fossil pet beasts.

If he only faced an opponent who was also at the fourth level, even if the pet beast used by the opponent was as powerful as the shadow of death, Russell was now confident that he could defeat them.

"These two are explorers sent by the alliance headquarters. The three of you will form a team to explore the secret realm together. Let's introduce each other now."

Seeing that Russell and the others had almost finished reading the materials, General Mo Lin took the topic to the next stage.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Xue. I am a nurse at Longquan Central Hospital. I currently have two gym badges. I have four years of experience in field medical first aid. I have participated in a pioneering battle. The one I can fight with is a fourth-level gold-level dog. Therapeutic pet "Nurse Spider"."

The first person to speak was a girl who looked polite. In addition to announcing her family status, she also specifically emphasized the number of pet beasts in the battle.

For other beast masters, the price-performance ratio of insect-type pet beasts is ultimately low. Even if the contract is for a race with acceptable individual strength, not all contract slots will be reserved for the insect-type.

When she talks about pet beasts that can be used in battle, she naturally refers to the number of pet beasts that can be used in the secret realm.

"My name is Chen Yuan. I am an instructor in the physical fitness class of the Longquan City Beast Control Academy. I currently have three gym badges. I was a top eight player in the last Longquan City City Annual Competition. The pet beast that can be played is a gold-level late-stage fourth-level beast. The main battle pet "Fighter Unicorn"."

After Jiang Xue, another young man who looked like he was a soldier also briefly introduced himself.

"My name is Russell, and I am the owner of a pet house. I have a badge, and I can fight with two gold-level fourth-level main battle beasts, namely the UFO Hawkmoth and Silver-Winged Mantis, and a third-level platinum beast. Class dead leaf cloakworm."

He would also like to call himself an insect-type professional beast master, but his resume is so gorgeous, and he only has one city quarterly rookie championship title and a gym badge, which really makes him unable to open his mouth...

However, what Russell didn't know was that while he was feeling ashamed because of his record, the two young talents at the other end of the video were also having self-doubt about his words.

"There are three pet beasts that can go into battle, including the gold-level UFO Hawk Moth. Did I hear you correctly? Isn't that a bronze-level pet beast?"

"Silver Wing Knife Mantis, what is this? I have never heard of it from elementary school to doctorate, and it sounds so handsome..."

Since the insect type is generally below the silver level, there are indeed too few professional insect masters in this world.

Even at the Alliance Headquarters in the Southern Principality, it is not easy to find a few capable mid-level insect masters without expanding their knowledge and with very limited preparation time.

An insect breeding genius who can cultivate UFO Hawkmoth from bronze level to gold level is unheard of!
