Chapter 593: Chapter 27 Survival_2
At the sa ti,
a Stone Lizard hatchling, its head covered with unsightly tumors, struggled out of its eggshell.
It seed as if they had negotiated in advance.
The remaining six beast eggs, one after another, started to hatch almost simultaneously.
One of them had five forelimbs and four hind limbs.
One had its heart exposed but was moving agilely.
...
One was extrely colorful, almost like an entirely different species from the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard, and so on.
“What…what kinds of oddities are these?”
Wang Ba, looking at nine little creatures of all different appearances before him, felt as if he had learned sothing new.
He carefully examined the nine oddball hatchlings one by one.
Soon, he made another discovery.
“Their classification is all Class II upper grade, but their lifespan varies greatly.”
The Double-headed Stone Lizard had an estimated lifespan of around two hundred years.
Next was the extrely colorful one, with a lifespan of about 180 years.
Then, the one with two wings on its back, about 120 years.
As for the other six, their lifespan was all under fifty years, which appeared exceedingly short.
In comparison to these mutated offspring, the lifespan of the mother Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard was nearly three hundred years.
“The mutated individuals have a lower lifespan… How strange. Is there so kind of deficiency that I’m not aware of? Or is it because of unstable bloodlines?”
Wang Ba placed the nine hatchlings down, his mind filled with a myriad of questions eager for answers.
“Take it slow. Let’s raise them first.”
Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard hatchlings could feed themselves right after they were born. After Wang Ba provided them with a batch of cockroaches he had prepared in advance, he didn’t pay much more attention to them.
…
Earth Division, Beast Departnt.
Wang Ba descended from the sky.
He saw a breeding ground that was so vast that he couldn’t see the end at first glance.
The breeding ground encompassed various terrains and even climates.
There was a deep water lake that seed small on the surface but was actually tens of thousands of feet deep.
There were broad-leafed tropical jungles and freezing-cold wastelands.
Even lava pools gurgling with intense heat…
The Spirit Beasts living in these environnts were all quite unusual. The nine offsprings hatched from the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard’s eggs seed commonplace in comparison.
The reason he was here had to do with the Azure Spirit Turtle and the Essence recipe he had previously contributed to the Sect.
Since the Essence of the Spirit Turtle contributed by Wang Ba successfully passed Cui Daqi’s test and beca a regulated recipe processed by the Spirit Food Departnt, the Sect had a trendous demand for Azure Spirit Turtles. This naturally required the cooperation of the Beast Departnt.
As the contributor of the Azure Spirit Turtle and also a student of Qi Yan, the Minister of the Beast Departnt, learning The Way of Beast Tar, Wang Ba was specially requested by Qi Yan to co to the Beast Departnt to oversee the expansion plan for the Azure Spirit Turtle breeding.
Of course, there was a reward for this. The Beast Departnt generously offered him one hundred rit points, equivalent to more than three years of a Deacon’s salary.
While Wang Ba didn’t care that much about the rit points, what he really wanted was to learn the more advanced skills of creature breeding within the Sect at the Beast Departnt.
Although the Beast Departnt and Shou Peak were both related to beast control, they had distinct differences.
Shou Peak mainly focused on a few Spirit Beasts, even linking them to themselves as Destined Spirit Beasts, and continuously tried to upgrade their class to indirectly enhance their own cultivation base.
On the other hand, the Beast Departnt focused on the entire Sect. Their primary responsibilities were to provide vast quantities of Spirit food materials for the Sect and Spirit Beasts of various stages and uses for the Sect disciples.
Of course, a part of it was also sold externally.
However, whether it was the Beast Departnt or Shou Peak, both were important to Wang Ba.
“Deacon Yang, these are the male and female breeding materials for the Azure Spirit Turtle.”
Descending from the sky,
Deacon Yang from the Beast Departnt who ca to greet him quickly took over the Spirit Beast Bag from Wang Ba.
“Deacon Wang, you’ve worked hard!”
“Hehe, don’t ntion it. There are ten groups of male and female breeding materials in there as well as so mature adults. In half a year at most, they should be able to start breeding.”
Wang Ba briefly explained.
From the ti when the Spirit Food recipe was officially established in the Spirit Food Departnt, until the Beast Departnt could provide enough Spirit Beasts, it would take a long cycle.
That was also the reason why Qi Yan had specifically asked Wang Ba to co.
As the breeder of the Azure Spirit Turtle, Wang Ba was undoubtedly the person who understood the Azure Spirit Turtle best. The design of their breeding environnt, feeding content, etc., while they were all very experienced, they still needed to learn from Wang Ba first.
“Deacon Wang, over here.”
Deacon Yang pointed to an empty field in the distance.
Both of them started walking and chatting.
Both were experts in beast control, so the topic of their conversation naturally fell to the breeding of Spirit Beasts.
Even though he had a solid foundation in the field of beast control, he didn’t have as much exposure to higher-level concepts as a Ten Thousand Images Sect Deacon would, who were incredibly experienced and world-wise. Many tis, it was Wang Ba listening while Deacon Yang spoke.
This exchange was quite beneficial to Wang Ba.
He gained deeper insights into how to create environnts suitable for Spirit Beast breeding.
After the conversation, he realized that when he used to breed Spirit Chickens and Spirit Turtles, his thods seed quite crude.
The environnt for raising Spirit Beasts was very important.
For example, many Spirit Beasts that were difficult to breed could often increase their reproduction rate after being placed in an appropriate environnt.
