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

"I know what you want to ask. As for the treatment, you can start now if you have rested."

Having felt the chaotic energy in the Gu insect master's beast-controlling space, Russell naturally knew what she was most concerned about.

After Lu Dahu and the others walked away, Russell closed the door of the reception room, and then motioned for He Xia to sit in front of him.

It has to be said that the energy backlash problem derived from the parasitic Gu is indeed quite serious.

From this distance, he could directly feel the chaotic and awkward aura on He Xia's body.

One can imagine what kind of living conditions the Gu Insect Masters with low talent live like on a daily basis.

It's no wonder that they would rather work with the Fire Thieves, perform some gray area tasks all day long, and even become wanted criminals, in exchange for ancient potions that can suppress energy disorders.

Russell once asked He Qiu'er why the Gu Insect Master clan had to force all clan members to contract parasitic Gu instead of just choosing talented juniors like her to become a new generation of Gu Insect Masters.

In this regard, He Qiuer gave a simple and crude explanation.

Although the parasitic Gu has serious side effects, it is a powerful purple-gold pet beast after all, and its overall strength ranks high in the entire world of beast control.

Moreover, among the many purple-gold pet beasts, the parasitic Gu, which is small in size and has low energy requirements, can be regarded as one of the easiest species to breed.

The breeding methods for purple-gold-level pet beasts that can be mass-produced in small quantities are still firmly in the hands of the clan. The health problems of some clan members are not a reason to give up.

What's more, the so-called talented Gu masters themselves come from the symbiosis between humans and parasitic Gu for thousands of years, and do not appear out of thin air.

Without the trial and error of a large number of tribesmen from generation to generation, there would not be a beast-controlling talent such as "Venom Violence" that must be used together with parasitic voodoo.

This highly bundled survival model is not only a fatal flaw, but also their confidence.

Even a Gu insect master with mediocre talent like He Xia would be stronger than most beast control masters of the same level before the backlash takes effect.

Relying on the strong clan strength, even the Fire Stealing Group, which originated from the Divine Court of Hope, can only take advantage of resources and take the blame, but does not dare to truly enslave the Gu Insect Master clan.

Because they also know that if they really fall out, they may not be able to bear the anger of the Gu Insect Masters.

Therefore, if the contract parasitic Gu is stopped rashly, the Gu insect master clan will soon be out of business, and the danger they will face will only be more serious than the Gu insect backlash.

"I need to prepare some special potions. You should calm down first and try to calm down the energy in your beast control space."

After briefly checking He Xia's condition, Russell asked him to sit on the sofa and meditate, while he turned and walked to the tea room nearby.

In order to prevent the He siblings from seeing that he could directly draw energy from other people's bodies, he had to be a little bit mysterious.

It took Russell about 15 minutes to prepare a cup of green drink according to the scary healthy fruit tea recipe left by Lu Yinning.

In Lu Yinning's words, this drink, made from a variety of fruits and vegetables such as bitter melon, mint, and Houttuynia cordata, has a "refreshing and refreshing smell" and is perfect for staying up late to restore energy.

Although, Russell always felt that he and Liang Kun were awakened by the pungent smell and taste...

He Xia was convinced of Russell's words. After taking the drink, he immediately drank it without saying a word.

But he obviously didn't expect the taste of this stuff to be so weird. After drinking it, his face immediately turned green and he couldn't help but retched a few times.

"It may taste a bit unpleasant. Continue to meditate and be sure not to spit it out..."

With a trace of guilt, Russell continued to make an inscrutable expression, and patted He Xia on the back with his hand.

It was during these two inconspicuous contacts that he activated his "Cocoon of Evolution" talent and guided some of the chaotic energy in He Xia's body to flow outward.

Thanks to He Qiu'er, a powerful sister, He Xia has almost been in a state of not fighting with others since the onset of the disease.

Therefore, the chaotic energy in his body has not increased during this period. After Russell's guidance twice, it has been reduced by nearly a quarter.

Although most of the chaotic energy still remained in his beast control space, this was equivalent to letting out a quarter of the air from a balloon that was about to burst, and it brought about more than a quarter improvement in his condition.

Feeling the long-lost relaxation, and confirming that his beast control space showed no signs of collapse, He Xia took a deep breath, and his eyes even turned red.

After all, he was only in his twenties and faced the threat of death all day long. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't uncomfortable and anxious.

"Axia, be good, it's okay..."

He Qiu'er obviously loved this younger brother very much. Seeing that some color finally returned to his pale face, He Qiu'er almost cried with joy.

"Your condition is not completely cured yet. The special medicine is slightly toxic and you cannot drink it every day. Remember to take it with you."

After the two siblings wiped away the tears from their eyes, Russell took out a talent token that he had prepared in advance.

According to the talent description of his own Lord's Pose, the evolution aura can now act on beast masters to help the environment in their beast master space.

Then, an environment filled with chaotic energy cannot be considered a benign environment and needs to be transformed.

In the past few days, Russell visited the He siblings in the dormitory several times on the grounds of seeing if they were getting used to living there.

Through careful observation, he could confirm that under the cover of the evolutionary halo, the chaotic energy in He Xia's beast-controlling space was indeed dissipating at an extremely slow speed.

Probably the long-term exposure to backlash has trained the Gu insect master's tolerance. In the process of dissipating the chaotic energy, the toughness of He Xia's beast-controlling space has also improved.

Considering that as long as the Gu Masters fight and transform parasitic targets, the chaotic energy will increase, Russell concentrated all his efforts on this beast-controlling token so that it can fully share the effect of the evolutionary halo.

As for the potion that was used to fool people just now, he simply said it was poisonous, so that He Qiuer would not worry about asking He Xia to drink more every day.

After all, the ingredients of this product are too simple. It would be too embarrassing if He Qiuer discovered that the so-called special medicine was actually just vegetable juice after drinking it too many times.

"What is this? The breath above makes me feel very comfortable..."

Holding the yellow-green moth-shaped token in his hand, He Xia's face was full of surprise.

Touching this small object that looked like resin or spar, he instinctively felt that his condition was continuing to improve.

Although this speed is very slow, over time, at least he no longer has to bear the severe pain in his abdomen, and he no longer has to be frightened to summon his pet beast.

"This is the badge of the Chongwu House. Just take it. I promised to treat you, but I didn't promise to tell you all the details."

Hearing this, Russell suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his kind expression became a little colder.

Having already received a lot of benefits, you still want to inquire about other people's methods. This is quite impolite behavior in the world of beast control.If it weren't for the fact that He Xia was young and the Gu insect master clan did possess many abilities that he needed, he might have turned around and left.

"Sorry, sorry...my brother is still young, he doesn't mean any harm..."

Seeing that Russell's expression was wrong, He Qiuer reacted quickly. She quickly slapped her brother on the head hard, and then apologized repeatedly.

He Xia was happy and spoke freely. If she, the sister, didn't make her attitude clear quickly, and if Russell fell out, the light that the Gu masters had finally seen would be extinguished again.

Thinking of the faces of those in the Fire Stealing Group, and looking at Russell's behavior during this period, one can figure out the trade-offs with a little bit of brainpower.

In the face of family interests and survival foundation, face is the least important thing.

"You just said that the security pets of the Royal Insect House are going to be added with gray plague mosquitoes. I can provide a toxin."

Seeing Russell's expression gradually softening, He Qiuer quickly turned the topic to the security issues they had discussed before.

In the relationship between adults, being taken advantage of is not terrible, but having no use value is the most terrible thing.

First, he was pardoned by the alliance, and now he really saw the hope that the cured bug would bite back. Russell had done his best, and he had to quickly show his corresponding value.

As for the way to show value to the Imperial Insect House, He Qiuer chose to start with the Gu Insects that he was best at.

According to Russell's plan, he would choose to use pink velvet spiders to weave webs as an early warning, and then use gray plague mosquitoes, whose whereabouts are not easily detected and can easily be ignored even if they are discovered, as attackers.

As the lowest-level black iron-level pet beast, the Gray Plague Mosquito's attack method is naturally poisoning rather than attacking by force.

At the same time, the poisoning power of the gray plague mosquito is directly related to the viruses or toxins it stores in the body by relying on its "Bacterial Symbiosis" talent skill.

If the "Gray Plague" virus that once caused tens of millions of casualties still existed, the killing ability of Gray Plague Mosquitoes would not be inferior to that of some high-level pet beasts.

However, the "Gray Plague" virus has long since disappeared in the rain of purifying light from the tenth-level pet beast, Tiamat, the Dragon of Hope.

The current gray plague mosquitoes rely only on some simple influenza and common toxins, and it is difficult for them to pose a threat to a moderately powerful beast master.

"This is a poison specially made by our Gu Master clan. It is more lethal than ordinary viruses, and it can be well adapted to insect-type pets and will not directly poison gray plague mosquitoes."

With that said, He Qiuer took out a bottle of thick black-purple liquid from his sleeve.

Her consideration was quite sound. After all, the plague mosquito's innate ability is mainly to carry pathogenic bacteria. If it drinks the toxin directly, there is indeed a certain risk of being poisoned to death.

The Gu Master clan is proficient in all kinds of secret medicines related to parasitic Gu. Although it is easy to overdraw the vitality of pet animals, it usually does not cause death directly.

Anyway, the lifespan of mosquito pets is very short, and replacements are calculated on a monthly basis, so it doesn't matter if they are overdrawn.

After taking the bottle and looking at it for a moment, Russell, who was a little dizzy from the fishy-sweet smell, quickly tightened the bottle cap.

"Can you make this poison with different effects?"

Shaking his head, trying to dispel the dizzy feeling, he immediately asked He Qiuer.

Russell had previously been worried about the poisoning ability of gray plague mosquitoes, but suddenly he got the poison provided by He Qiuer, which was really a big help to the Royal Insect House.

"It's possible, but if you want to see blood sealing your throat, the yield will be very low, and the gray plague mosquito may not be able to withstand it..."

Hearing this, He Qiuer thought that Russell wanted to increase the lethality of the toxin as much as possible, and looked a little embarrassed.

If you are simply pursuing high toxicity, this is not difficult, as long as you continue to add various toxic substances and ensure that the various toxins do not cancel each other out.

However, it is somewhat contradictory for the pet animal to be able to withstand it, but also to be highly toxic.

Even though gray plague mosquitoes have high poison resistance, in the end they are just black iron-level pet beasts. It is almost impossible to withstand toxins made of mid-to-high-level materials without damage.

But Russell, the nobleman of the Gu Insect Master clan, rarely spoke once, and He Qiuer didn't want to refuse directly, so he hesitated for a while and didn't know what to say.

Unexpectedly, Russell waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that she might have misunderstood.

"No, no, no, the killing ability can be as low as possible, and the function can be mainly focused on effects such as paralysis and drowsiness."

Seeing He Qiuer's troubled expression, Russell explained to her.

Although He Qiuer has rich practical experience, she has never run any industry, and her use of poison is still at the level of fighting alone and killing her opponent as quickly as possible.

In fact, as a security pet in a pet store, too strong attack power is a negative attribute.

First, with the expansion of the insect house breeding ground and transportation lines, it is inevitable that some public areas will be covered.

The intelligence of gray plague mosquitoes is too low. Even with the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent to communicate without barriers, it is difficult to ensure that they will not accidentally injure passers-by who are moving around.

If the poison is too strong and someone is poisoned to death within a few minutes, then even if they see it on the surveillance camera, it will be too late to rescue them.

As a good young man in the new era, even though he is now powerful, Russell still values ​​the lives of other people and does not want to be involved in human life lawsuits.

What's more, even when facing the infiltrators of the Fire Stealing Group, he didn't want to silence them directly. It was better to control them and hand them over to the professionals of the Beast Control Alliance to slowly interrogate them for their evil purposes.

Secondly, Russell also comprehensively considered the upper limit of breeding of the gray plague mosquito population.

Although with the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, he doesn't have many bottlenecks in cultivating ordinary pet beasts, the starting point of the Black Iron level is really too low.

Besides, Russell also didn’t want to raise the level of plague mosquitoes too high. This was completely contrary to the two advantages of choosing them: “inconspicuous and non-threatening”.

If the bloodline level reaches bronze and silver, the energy fluctuations emitted will become stronger, which can easily attract the attention of infiltrators.

But if they maintain the Black Iron bloodline level of Plague Mosquitoes, their potential will inevitably be limited.

Russell estimated that even if the poisonous route was forcibly adopted, the poisonousness of the gray plague mosquito would probably end up being in an embarrassing situation where it would not be enough to poison mid-level beast masters, but it would be more than enough to poison ordinary workers.

In contrast, toxins such as paralysis and lethargy are more universally adaptable. As long as they are reproduced and adapted in one or two generations, they can achieve a high degree of immunity.

One bite can paralyze the mid-level beast master for several minutes, buying time for other security forces to arrive, and at the same time, it is not easy to cause death. This is Russell's ideal security pet beast.

"That's no problem. Give me two days and I'll make sure I give you a satisfying poison."

After understanding what Russell meant, He Qiuer breathed a sigh of relief, then patted her chest and promised. (End of chapter)
