One time!
Two times…
Seven times!
The breeder finally tamed the progenitor bloodworm after seven times and turned it into his pet.
At that moment, Chen Gou finally knew the specific level of the progenitor bloodworm. It was actually as high as Level 31!
He was secretly glad. Without Quinlan, he and Tony would have been dead in the first place even if they had given it their all.
"Ksitigarbha, what… what are you trying to do?"
When Blackface saw Chen Gou bring the box with the strange progenitor bloodworm over to him, he shouted and started struggling at once.
Chen Gou ignored Blackface. He put his left hand around Blackface's neck and forced him to open his mouth, while his right hand poured the progenitor bloodworm out of the lead box and into his mouth.
"Ah!"
The bloodworm began to take over as soon as it reached his body. The progenitor bloodworm was much more powerful than ordinary white bloodworms and did not need a few days to transform.
Fear crept over Blackface as he wailed incessantly.
The breeder found this unbearable, but only for a moment.
Ten minutes later, the transformation was complete. The progenitor bloodworm had devoured Blackface's consciousness and used its power to heal almost all of his injuries.
When the Master acquired a new body and opened his eyes, he stared at Chen Gou and the breeder with a sinister gaze.
As the Master, he had actually been tamed into a pet at his weakest moment!
"He can't refuse anything you want him to do, right?" Chen Gou glanced at the Master. He didn't like his threatening gaze.
It seemed that the Master had yet to realize the reality he was in.
The breeder nodded and said, "Yes. He is bound by the orders of magic and cannot go against them."
"That's good to hear." Chen Gou smiled slightly and said, "Make him get down on his knees and lick the top of my shoe."
This was the highest courtesy a subordinate or slave could show their master in the Western world.
Furious, the Master stared at Chen Gou. "How dare you insult a progenitor of the vampires like this, you insignificant thing?"
Chen Gou calmly replied, "Who isn't insignificant when God looks down from Heaven? I'm looking at you now."
Bang!
The Master's knees dropped to the ground. Despite his strong resistance and the fact that the veins on his face popped out, he could not go against this command with his soul or control his actions.
The Master could only close his eyes and not look at Chen Gou, who was before him.
When he finished the whole ceremony by kissing the top of his shoe, Chen Gou told the breeder, "I haven't asked what your name is."
"Nobody has called me by my name for more than 10 years, and I've long forgotten it. Doesn't the Blood Umbrella Organization use codenames? Just call me Breeder."
"That'll do," Chen Gou said with a smile. "I should be calling you Uncle based on the customs."
It was undeniable that ever since he had transmigrated to this world alone, Chen Gou had always felt very lonely deep in his heart.
He had no one to talk to and couldn't even find someone of his own kind… The Asians in the Blue Wave World were only similar in appearance.
Although Breeder was Chinese in the Abyssal World, Chen Gou still felt a sense of closeness to him.
"How old are you?"
Chen Gou was wearing a mask, so Breeder couldn't tell how old he was.
"Around 17," Chen Gou answered by sharing the age of his young self in this world.
Breeder mumbled, "17… If my son had still been alive, he would have been six years older than you."
When he returned to the dormitory building, Angeline and the others were shocked to see Chen Gou bring Blackface back in one piece.
"Captain, Blackface…"
"Don't ask. He is impressed with my temperament and talent."
Nobody could see the expression on Chen Gou's face, as he was still wearing a mask when he said that.
Everyone was speechless.
However, the more he behaved like that, the more mysterious he was to them.
This shockingly young captain didn't hide key facts and always looked ordinary. Whenever they encountered any danger or difficulties, he could solve them easily.
The few people in the Wildfire Team suddenly understood that Chen Gou had been able to go through the Abyssal Assessment and become an Abyssal Knight cultivated by the Covenant due to his outstanding abilities.
Kelly broke the silence and pointed at the pile of equipment on the floor as she said, "Captain, these belonged to Broken Tail and Renegade."
Chen Gou took a close look at them. There was a total of three pieces of bronze-grade equipment and some low-level recovery potions, all of which he couldn't use.
Only the silver-grade Cadaveric Plague Skill Crystal, which had been distributed recently, was worth a little.
"I'll take this Skill Crystal. You guys can do what you see fit with the remaining stuff."
Chen Gou still took the biggest share, but the others expressed no opinion. Instead, they had expected it.
After a night's ordeal, Chen Gou no longer thought of hunting zombies outside.
He wanted to return to the Blood Umbrella Organization's final base now and transform Dr. Andric.
This way, he could realize his plan to combine the angel gene and the Progenitor Virus to create a true Heaven Virus as soon as possible.
Since the armored car had been scrapped, they could only walk.
Fortunately, the main road was often cleared up by the Blood Umbrella Organization, so they rarely encountered zombie attacks.
On the way, Breeder even fulfilled Chen Gou's wish and gave him a taste of what it was like to mount a panda.
Even though a panda had a big head and big ears, the zombie panda transformed by the T-Virus was pretty ferocious.
For example, Little Panda was only at Awakened Level 19 and had three magic skills.
The first one was the bronze-grade Necrophilic Virus, a skill common among all zombies.
Next was the gold-grade Nocturnal Skill.
During the day, the panda could go into hibernation and absorb the magic in the void to raise its level by sleeping.
During the night, it could blend into the darkness completely and shield its mind while having enhanced recovery.
Unless its level or attribute was much lower, it would not be discovered at night.
The third skill was the platinum-grade True Iron-Eating Bear!
This skill could increase its primary attributes and physical strength by swallowing metal!
As the name suggested, a panda with this skill was definitely a real bear, not a cat.
However, it needed to devour special and powerful metal and could only devour one kind of metal per 10 levels. Each kind of metal could only be devoured once.
Also, each metal it devoured had to be stronger or more unique than the last, or it would not be as effective as the last one.
Little Panda was now at Level 19, so it could only devour metal once.
Since Breeder didn't have any high-grade magical metals, it usually only devoured an aerospace alloy from a crashed fighter plane.
Nonetheless, devouring those metals had allowed it to strengthen its bones, become as strong as steel, and have extremely strong resistance.
In terms of toughness, the highest-grade aerospace alloy was no worse than most bronze-grade or even silver-grade magical weapons. This alloy just didn't have magic in it.
"It can become stronger by sleeping and eating iron… Is this the life of a national treasure? There's no justice in this world!"
Chen Gou was green with envy, as the zombie panda had to be an epic magical creature.
If it hadn't been weak in the early stage and rare, in combination with the fact that it had a breeder who was not good at combat and management, it would definitely have had the potential to become a dominant creature.
It didn't matter if it could sleep and level up. After all, it wasn't hard to level up most of the time.
The only difficulty was that a precious magical item like the bloodline potion had to be consumed at every level in order for it to progress.
However, Chen Gou envied the True Iron-Eating Bear Skill and couldn't even suppress his greed at this point, which caused him to think about killing Little Panda for the Skill Crystal.
