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

Chapter 97 Dead Leaf Clothes Insect

With the Fang Young Dragon as a good start, this batch of pet beasts that were nominally leaked from the underground colosseum, but were actually seized from the Fire Pirates camp were quickly sold out, and some of them even sold for millions. .

With Lindsay's wave, the black cloth covering the last animal cage was slowly unveiled.

Under the bright spotlight, Russell saw a pet beast cub that was very small, about the size of two adult fists.

It was a small pet beast covered with leaves and sawdust. It was completely different from the previous pet beasts with different shapes but all majestic. The people in the audience could not even see clearly its body inside the leaves. They could only see to two small black eyes.

However, according to the convention of auctions, the last auction item is usually the highlight, so everyone is very interested in the origin of this small pet beast.

"The next one for sale is a platinum-level protective pet, a dead leaf cloakworm!"

And Lindsay's introduction to it did not disappoint. Upon hearing that it was a platinum-level pet, the audience immediately started chattering.

For a second-tier city, seeing a platinum-level pet beast cub in an auction is a rare opportunity.

Hearing that this platinum-level pet beast also had a worm in its name, Russell's interest suddenly increased, and he stared at the information introduction that appeared on the big screen without blinking.

In the internal database of the Senluo City Beast Control Research Institute, he only saw a dozen platinum-level pet beasts and a handful of purple-gold-level pet beasts from thousands of insect-type pet beasts. .

They are naturally platinum-level insect beasts, and they are considered to be among the top ones among the entire insect family.

No wonder Dr. Natsuki highly recommended it and personally accompanied him to the auction. It turned out that there really was a pet cub for sale that was very suitable for him.

The dead leaf cloakworm is a platinum-level pet of insect and plant types. Its innate skill is called "miracle slime". It can bind leaves, sawdust and other plant-based materials to turn it into a protective shell.

When necessary, the dead leaf cloakworm can also shoot mucus outwards, absorbing any surrounding substances, and instantly forming a shield to help its companions resist attacks.

The upper limit of the defense power of this skill not only depends on the pet beast itself that uses the skill, but also has a lot to do with the surrounding materials that can be used. It is a skill with large fluctuations in the upper and lower limits.

Therefore, beast masters who cultivate dead leaf cloakworms often carry some iron sand and the like with them to ensure that they can successfully perform the miracle slime skill when attacked.

When the proficiency of a dead leaf cloakworm's miraculous slime reaches a high level, the release of this skill will become instinctive. Even if it and the beast master do not foresee the attack in advance, it can passively spray slime to form a shield, which is able to A rare defensive skill that takes passive effect.

In addition, the dead leaf cloakworm also has a "disclosure" skill. As long as it eats some ordinary plants, it can secrete insect dew with healing effects. It can be said that it eats grass and produces milk, and it is extremely cost-effective.

"The starting price is 100 million credit points, and each increase starts from [-]. Please don't miss the opportunity!"

After introducing the information about the dead leaf cloakworm, Lindsay quoted its starting price.

The value of such a platinum-level protective pet that is not high to raise, is small and easy to hide, and can be carried anywhere is self-evident.

According to his estimate, the final transaction price of this dead leaf cloakworm should be around 200 million credit points.

After all, if you can nurture it well into adulthood, even if you go out to work as a bodyguard for others, your monthly salary will be at least tens of thousands.

However, before the first bidder could bid, the scene that happened next made everyone, including Lindsay, look strange.

When the auction officially begins, the light above the animal cage will flash a few times, but this extremely routine operation causes the dead leaf cloakworm in the cage to let out an extremely frightened cry.

chirp...

jiji-!
A lot of mucus was spit out immediately, but since there was no other scattered matter in the cage, the wet mucus just hung around the cage, forming a ragged yellowish film, making the whole scene look very embarrassing.Jiji…………

Even though most of the cage was covered with mucus, the dead leaf cloakworms that were frightened by the light kept screaming and trying to escape in the animal cage with little room to move.

"This...maybe it's because I haven't adapted to the environment..."

Seeing the strange behavior of the dead leaf cloakworm, even Lindsay, who is always good at stirring up the atmosphere, was speechless for a moment, but it took a long time to get things right.

For a protective pet beast to be so timid, that is a huge flaw.

The most important attribute of a protective pet is to remain calm in times of danger and to perform its protective function stably. If it is more insufferable than the master of the beast when it encounters danger, and is frightened and behaves abnormally at the slightest movement, then it has lost its ability to do so. The basic qualifications for a qualified protective pet.

"Is there any mistake? This kind of goods are also put up for auction. Is the Senluo City Beast Taming Alliance a big shop bullying customers, thinking that we don't know how to do it?"

"That's right, with a pet beast like Contract, should it protect me, or should I protect it?"

Seeing this situation, the auctioneers in the audience began to complain.

It's no wonder they feel unhappy. After all, buying such a platinum-level pet beast basically requires you or a close relative to make a contract in person.

Fortunately, it showed abnormalities on the stand, otherwise if the flaws were to be exposed later in the contract, the price the contractor would have to pay would be too high.

Faced with the unexpected situation, this dead leaf cloakworm was ultimately rejected as expected.

"This……"

Until everyone left the auction house cursing, Dr. Xiamu sat in a chair and was still unable to recover.

Before coming to participate in this auction, he was even prepared to lend money to Russell, but Dr. Xiamu never expected that the finale product that he was particularly optimistic about would directly fail to auction...

"It doesn't matter...there are still many opportunities. I will introduce them to you next time."

After all the dead leaf cloakworms on the stage were removed by the staff, Dr. Natsuki said to Russell with some embarrassment.

However, Russell could not see any disappointed look on his face, and instead asked him:
"I would like to ask, what will happen to a pet beast that has defects like this and has not been auctioned?"

"This is not necessarily true. There are many situations. If it is a pet beast that can produce breeding materials, it may be put into the alliance stable and raised. If it can be beaten, it may be bought by some people at a low price and flow into underground beast fighting. On occasions like the field, but this is the first time I have encountered such a timid and protective pet..."

Regarding this issue, Dr. Xiamu knew the inside story, but he still couldn't figure out what Russell was thinking.

"Buy it at a low price? Can I buy it?"

Upon hearing Dr. Xiamu's answer, Russell's eyes lit up and he quickly asked.

"Yes, yes, if I help you contact me, you can get a very favorable price, but why are you buying it... It might not be good if you resell it..."

After a few words of conversation, Dr. Natsuki's expression became strange.

In his mind, Russell's image has always been relatively shrewd. Dr. Xiamu was a little worried that this boy might have discovered some business opportunities in this kind of defective insect beast...
