"Current level: Titan Spider - Machine Level 10 (1100/10,000)"
Zerg Five finally broke through to Level 10, the small hurdle was considered over.
However, this was obviously not a good time to evolve. Li Song instantly kept Zerg Five who was breaking through into the Tamed Beast Space.
On the other hand, Bull Two did not level up. It needed too much experience. After distributing the experience points, it actually did not receive much and was still short of close to 5000 EXP to level up. Fortunately, the experience points of monsters in the wilderness were more abundant, so the speed of leveling up was faster.
There were still two Rock Armored Beasts that had not been dealt with yet, and they were still chasing after the Rock Tossing Lizard. Although the Rock Tossing Lizard would not be able to hold on for long, it was still a Level 20 Elite.
But if it were to die, it would be a huge loss for Li Song.
He stored all the corpses of the Rolling Stone Armors into the warehouse, including the pile of beast cores that dropped on the ground.
This time, nothing else dropped. Li Song did not know what was going on either.
He hurriedly followed Bull Two towards the direction of the Rock Armored Beast Beasts.
On the other side, the Rock Tossing Lizard had stopped running.
Although its brain was not very smart, it roughly knew that if it ran too far, its master probably would not be able to catch up. At that time, it would have to deal with these two fellows with thorns all over their bodies.
In that situation, even if it did not die, it would still suffer significant injuries. Against these creatures that were completely wrapped in huge rocks, there were not many usable methods.
Previously, its rock cannonball had been able to affect them, but now that its speed had increased, the rock cannonball had no effect on it at all. It was shattered in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Rock Tossing Lizard fired a few huge rock bullets. However, its attack was not aimed at the Rock Armor, but at the ground it was about to pass.
The ground rumbled and exploded in an instant. As gravel flew, there were not many smooth areas left on the ground.
Bang!
The Rock Armored Beast's body did not stop. The rocks on the ground were directly smashed apart again, but the unevenness on the ground still caused a certain effect.
The leader of the Rock Armored Beast slowed down a little, while the Level 18 Rock Armored Beast on the other side smashed the huge rock with great difficulty.
Swoosh!
The Rock Tossing Lizard's long and narrow eyes moved, and its body suddenly twisted. Its thick tail whipped through the air, making a loud sound as it hit the Rock Armored Beast Leader.
Bam!
The sound of flesh colliding with rock rang out, and the Rock Armored Beast Leader's body suddenly froze. It then turned around and stopped, revealing its lower body.
On the other hand, the Rock Tossing Lizard was not having a good time either. Its thick tail was also a blur of flesh and blood. The spikes on the Rock Armored Beast's body were still very useful. Even if the Rock Tossing Lizard had scales on its tail, it would not be of much use.
"Roar!"
The Rock Tossing Lizard let out a roar, and in the blink of an eye, another huge rock cannonball was shot out. However, it was dodged by the body of the Rock Armored Beast Leader, hitting the rock on its back instead, instantly shattering while its body trembled.
On the other side, the Level 18 Rock Armored Beast started rolling again, charging towards the Rock Tossing Lizard like a brute.
Bang!
The Rock Tossing Lizard swung its tail again, and the two-meter-long Rock Armored Beast was sent flying like a ball.
Many of the spikes on its body were broken, and even the rock that looked like its main body was cracked.
The difference between Ordinary and Elite was not just a few levels. There was almost a complete suppression due to the difference in genes.
Not all Tamed Beasts could reach the Mythical-rank, and not all Tamed Beasts had the ability to fight above their levels.
Even so, it still managed to wound the lizard's tail.
Almost at the same time, the leader of the Rock Armored Beasts suddenly moved. Its body instantly turned into a rolling rock at the top of the mountain and charged towards the Rock Tossing Lizard.
Meanwhile, Li Song and Bull Two had already arrived.
"Moo!"
Bull Two let out an excited roar as it stomped on the ground with its hooves. The rocky ground exploded like a bomb, and Bull Two charged towards the Level 18 Rock Armored Beast.
Swoosh!
A huge fist punched out. In Bull Two's eyes, it was as if the sharp barbs on its back did not exist!
A punch landed on it, and blood splattered everywhere. However, Bull Two did not seem to feel anything. It threw another punch, and each punch was like a storm!
The Rock Armored Beast's body finally stopped. That huge momentum was actually forcefully stopped!
However, it seemed to understand what was going on outside. It did not reveal its figure and continued to hide within the rocky shell that was filled with spikes.
"Moo!"
Bull Two's eyes were red, and its nose spurted out air. The pain on its hands seemed to have stimulated the power in its body further, and its arms seemed to have become thicker. The madness of the abyss fused with the blood energy in its body, and the bloodlust and madness in the Abyssal Tauren genes had practically developed to the extreme.
"This idiot." Li Song wanted to roll his eyes. Bull Two had always liked to fight, but it never liked to use its brain in battle.
He instantly stopped using Borrow on his feet and activated it again in the blink of an eye!
His energy was instantly drained.
Crack! Crack!
His spine crackled and in the next moment, an incomparably thick tail suddenly grew out from Li Song's tailbone. It was more than three meters long and had a brownish-yellow color. It was the Rock Tossing Lizard's tail!
However, there seemed to be a metallic glow on it.
The next moment.
Li Song's figure was like a bow as he gathered all the strength in his body at his waist. With a swish, his thick tail swung from the top and bottom like a huge steel whip.
Crack!
The instant the two collided, the Rock Armored Beast was actually pushed back!
The flesh underneath was revealed. There was still some doubt in its eyes, but in the next instant, Bull Two's fist had already struck out!
Crack!
How could that fragile flesh and blood defend against it? Its head was instantly smashed into meat paste, and its aura disappeared without a trace, dying on the spot.
[Rock Armored Beast Level 17 killed.]
[Level Difference Bonus!]
[EXP +2000!]
A cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
"Go deal with that leader."
Li Song gave the order, and Bull Two turned around and rushed over without looking back.
On the other hand, Li Song bent down and picked up the beast core of the Rock Armored Beast beneath his feet. But other than that, something else actually dropped out of the Rock Armored Beast.
It was a thumb-sized fragment.
[Rock Essence Fragment]
[This is the rock essence formed after a long period of polishing and colliding. It has yet to take shape and has limited uses. Feed it to an earth attribute Tamed Beast and there might be some unexpected effects.]
"Finally…"
Li Song himself could not help but feel a little touched. After killing Rock Tossing Lizards for so long, he almost thought that the only use of the so-called "loot dropping" and "corpse looting" were to save people the trouble of dissecting it.
Now it seemed, clearly, that was not the case. It could only be said that the levels of the Rock Tossing Lizards were too low and could not provide him with any other items.
This [Rock Essence Fragment] was the best proof.
These things were not very useful to Li Song at the moment. However, when Bull Two and Zerg Five were about to break through to the Elite-rank, these materials, or rather, natural treasures, would be very necessary.
Some of the more advanced materials could even increase the strength of a Tamed Beast by a level. However, he wondered if someone had consumed them already.
However, it was likely that someone did. At the very least, Chen Cheng had fed his Tamed Beast with such things before. Although its level was not high, Li Song could sense that it was not weak.
"So… the country should have a lot of such things."
"No wonder they formed the Night Suppression Division so quickly. Just relying on the experience points alone is still not enough."
Amongst the common people, this matter was probably still a secret. Only a small portion of people knew about it.
After all, Li Song had not joined the Night Suppression Division, so it was normal for Zhao Chengfeng to not tell Li Song.
On the other end, Bull Two and the other two beasts were already fighting. Li Song was not worried. The Rock Tossing Lizard's strength was comparable to the leader of the Rock Armored Beasts. At this moment, with Bull Two, who was stronger, he was not worried at all.
If the leader still managed to escape, Bull Two would probably go crazy.
After storing the corpse of the Rock Armored Beast, Li Song turned around.
They arrived at a relatively flat area. The Tamed Beast Space opened and Zerg Five's figure flashed out.
At this moment, its breakthrough had also reached a crucial moment. Its entire body was trembling non-stop, as if it was enduring immense pain. Black smoke was constantly emitting from its head, almost like an eruption. In the blink of an eye, it had completely filled this place.
Li Song did not stop. He took out pieces of metal continuously from the warehouse and fed Zerg Five.
Crack! Crack!
Zerg Five's mouthparts did not stop. The pieces of metal were chewed up like biscuits before getting swallowed into its massive body.
Its entire body was emitting a massive amount of heat energy. The silver metal in front of its chest was like a cabin lid, and it was glowing red.
In just a short time, Li Song estimated that he had taken out at least seven to eight tons of metal!
Zerg Five was like a bottomless pit. It seemed like no matter how much metal he took out, it would be swallowed by Zerg Five!
After devouring a large amount of metal, all the energy was integrated into Zerg Five's genes. Under the crazy effect of the Titan Spider gene, Zerg Five's body expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Its body continued to expand, and its head rapidly grew larger. The red, mechanical eyes that flickered with a red glow could intimidate one's soul. The smoke-filled holes on its head also expanded a little, and the speed at which they emitted smoke became even faster. On its body, there were a few more pieces of silver metal, and the eight thick and long mechanical limbs became even thicker, their tips shining with a sharp light.
In just a short period of time, an enormous change occurred!
Previously, Zerg Five was barely the size of a small car, but now it was like a small truck.
Its body was nearly six meters in diameter, and its thick eight limbs allowed it to reach nearly four meters in height. It was like an incomparably ferocious war machine!
Li Song was not surprised by this change. Bull Two's appearance had also changed greatly back then. It was just that it was not as obvious as Zerg Five. After all, this was a creature with the "Titan" bloodline. This body size was basically the most obvious change.
The Titan Spider was a descendant of the legendary creature Titan and the legendary creature Ancient Spider. Legend had it that when this creature grew to its peak, it would nest in the mountain range to rest. After a long time, the soil and rocks on its back would grow. There was even a saying that it was a creature carrying forests and mountains.
Level 10 meant that the Tamed Beast had completely broken away from the "infant stage" and reached the stage of rapid growth. This was the case for any Tamed Beast, it was just that the extent of their change varied.
Zerg Five's body would only become larger after this. Fortunately, Li Song had modified its data. When it grew to a certain extent, Zerg Five would be able to control its size.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Zerg Five sang out happily. A row of red compound eyes looked at its small owner. Its thick forelimbs rubbed against Li Song's body like a spoiled child.
Although it could not make any expression, the curvature of its compound eyes and the black smoke that did not smell of gas on its head showed that it was in an extremely good mood.
"Alright, alright, alright. You've caught up with me too…"
Li Song reached out and touched Zerg Five's forelimbs with a smile on his face. Although Zerg Five was huge, it was still the tiny fellow from back then in Li Song's eyes.
This time, this guy was the second to return to the team. It was obviously very happy to be able to catch up to Bull Two's strength so quickly. It could finally help its master.
Some other abilities seemed to have been unlocked too.
However, it would not be easy to touch this guy's smooth head again.
In the next instant, the life force conversion came as expected. In an instant, a huge amount of energy surged into his body. Li Song felt as if a layer of membrane had appeared on the surface of his skin. It was incomparably tough and shone with the light of steel.
The bones in his body were strengthened once again, and the metallic radiance on his bones condensed even more.
His strength had also increased a little, but it was not by much. Most of the power was added to his bones and skin.
At this time, the defensive power of Li Song's body was so strong that even a weaker Tamed Beast would find it difficult to injure him. However, this did not mean that he was too strong. His internal organs were still within the category of human, so the power of vibration was enough to heavily injure him.
"Moo!"
On the other side, Bull Two's furious roar sounded.
Li Song turned around.
