Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?
Chapter 1330 - 641

Ever since Fang Mu obtained the Fairy Mushroom, he had been continuously cultivating it.

The growth of the Fairy Mushroom required the watering with a variety of toxins, which the rain brought down by the Sea Flame Twins contained.

With the watering from the Sea Flame Twins, the originally extremely difficult-to-cultivate Fairy Mushroom grew rapidly, sprouting layer upon layer of mycelium.

The cap of the Fairy Mushroom boasted dazzling colors.

It is said that the brighter the color of a mushroom, the more toxic it is, but though the Fairy Mushroom fed on various toxins, it did not contain any poison itself.

Fang Mu had previously tested this with the Flower Spirit of the Blood Exhausted Other Shore.

The difference between the Flower Spirit and the fairy was not significant, as both possessed the same bloodline.

However, the Flower Spirit was a fairy that had transformed from a plant-type beastmaster, and the Blood Exhausted Other Shore was connected to the rate at which Fang Mu produced the Blood Aged Wine and the Covenant Blood Essence.

Although it was not contracted by Fang Mu, its priority ranking was only second to the two Destiny Guardian Beasts and Xi Xi.

The Backtracking Sparrow Demon was now a two-winged fairy and to become a four-winged fairy upon advancing to the Platinum Tier was nearly an impossible feat.

Being able to become a four-winged fairy upon stepping into the Sequence was already fortunate for the Backtracking Sparrow Demon.

Many fairies contracted by powerful beings had reached Sequence Seven or even Sequence Six and remained two-winged.

During the rank advancement of the Backtracking Sparrow Demon while consuming the Fairy Mushroom, Fang Mu fed it some Blood Aged Wine.

The essential foundation certainly needed to be well established!

As the energy and spiritual fluctuations on the Backtracking Sparrow Demon increased, it clearly succeeded in ascending its rank.

Fang Mu used the Eye of Omniscience to inspect the rank-advanced Backtracking Sparrow Demon.

[Beast Name]: Backtracking Sparrow Demon

[Beast Species]: Fairy Spirit/ Sparrow Demon Type

[Beast Level]: Platinum (1/10)

[Beast Element]: Metal

[Beast Potential]: Diamond Rank

[Beast Quality]: Legendary Quality

Skills:

[Sparrow’s Call]: Uses its own call to encourage other bird and mechanical beasts, enhancing the energy recovery rate of bird and mechanical beasts.

[Backtracking Focus]: Stares at the target with both eyes, creating a special shield on the target. This shield offers no defense, but after a certain period, it will cause everything inside to revert to the state they were in when the shield was applied.

[Backtracking Double]: Doubles the backtracking effect during the process, where surplus energy from units with full life energy will form a damage-resistant shield on the target and double the effect on enemies based on the original impact.

[Reverse Retrospection]: Applies retrospection on enemies, whereby all buffs and healing states acquired by the enemy during the process of reverse retrospection will be transferred to our side after the retrogression.

Exclusive Traits:

[Instrumentalization]: Transforms itself into a special weapon for the Contractor to use.

[Backtracking Assassination]: Absorbs damage sustained by the retrospection target during the process, then delivers the damage as a mental shock to a designated target, colliding with the target’s spiritual power.

[Possession]: Merges with the Contractor, allowing the Contractor to inherit its abilities, gaining the same defensive effects and energy.

Evolutionary Path:

①: Backtracking Sparrow Demon (four wings), ②: Origin-Trace Sparrow, ③: Flow Retrospection Sparrow Demon (two wings).

The newly acquired skill [Reverse Retrospection] of the Backtracking Sparrow Demon completely opened up its potential.

It enabled the Backtracking Sparrow Demon to be used not only as a Defensive Beast Conqueror in combat but also gave it strong offensive capabilities.

And such offensive nature often brings supportive and healing effects to our side.

This gives the impression that the Backtracking Bell Sparrow is versatile in defense, healing, assistance, and attack.

The reason it is considered an illusion is because the Backtracking Sparrow Demon needs to be used at the most opportune moment, to create an effect of using the enemy’s force against them.

During team battles, if Fang Mu’s side manages to injure the enemy’s Main Battle Mystic Beast, causing it to be on the brink of death and losing its ability to continue attacking,

if the enemy has a strong healing or assistance unit, they could very likely cast their abilities to recover the injured Main Battle unit.

If at this moment, under Hu Tao’s command, the Backtracking Sparrow Demon applies [Reverse Retrospection] to it,

it not only keeps the enemy’s Mystic Beast in a dying state but also allows the massive amount of healing and support energy poured out by the opponent to be used by our own units.

Hu Tao, with her exceptional strategic insight, knew the effectiveness of this new skill acquired by the Backtracking Sparrow Demon the moment she learned about it.

Although this ability won’t significantly improve her individual combat capability, it can produce miraculous effects in a team setting.

And with that, Hu Tao was completely satisfied!

This way, Hu Tao, when teaming up with Fang Mu and Jiang Tuo, wouldn’t just be their adjunct and could fully demonstrate her value in battle!

Long before Fang Mu helped Hu Tao cultivate the Barrier Phoenix and Backtracking Sparrow Demon, he had already instructed Hu Tao to allow her Destiny Guardian Beast, the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi, to absorb Blood Aged Wine, to stimulate the metal energy accumulated in its body over time.

If the Barrier Phoenix, which consumes about fifteen clumps of Nazhen Firm Silver daily, is considered a small rice bucket, then the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi, which devours more than six types of Metal Spiritual Material every day, can definitely be called a big rice bucket!

The daily consumption of Metal Spiritual Materials by the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi costs at least fifty million Dragon Rising Coins.

Cyan Stone Business Association controlled over ten Subterranean Dimensional Rifts of Destruction Level and above, using Space Spiritual Material and special spatial formations to stabilize these rifts.

Cyan Stone Business Association has been continuously and steadily providing Fang Mu with various Metal Spiritual Materials.

If these materials were to be bought on the open market, Fang Mu would need to liquidate his resources first.

The purchase of such a large volume of Metal Spiritual Materials would inevitably draw the outside world’s attention.

The cultivation scheme Fang Mu set for the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi was something even those Grandmaster Creators wouldn’t dare to set lightly, as for them it is impossible to invest most of their resources in just one Guardian Beast.

Even if this Guardian Beast could bring huge returns, it’s still not as cost-effective as distributing resources among multiple Guardian Beasts!

Hu Tao had always felt anxious about the cultivation path Fang Mu had laid out for the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi.

The resources consumed by the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi and the Barrier Phoenix every day were more than what Hu Tao’s parents could earn in their entire lives.

If it weren’t for Fang Mu’s insistence, Hu Tao would have already proposed to halt this method of cultivation!

From the current situation, it can be said that none of the resources invested have been wasted.

The Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi had successfully upgraded to Legendary Quality, gaining a new exclusive trait, [Puppet Performance Theater].

[Puppet Performance Theater]: Unleashes the metal energy contained within itself, setting up a theater composed of metal energy within a certain range. Each target present in the theater will have an Inferior Puppet Body appear beside them, and these bodies will grow stronger with the amount of time spent in the theater.

The Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi’s Skill [Performative Decapitation Dance] and Innate Divine Ability [Reversal Puppet Veil] both apply to these Inferior Puppet Bodies.

Inferior Puppet Bodies are a major tactic used by the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi, capable of employing its defensive type skills.

However, relying solely on the Innate Divine Ability [Reversal Puppet Veil] to cultivate Inferior Puppet Bodies would hardly keep up with the demand.

And the exclusive trait [Puppet Performance Theater] obtained by the Bird Armor Puppet Xi Xi upon its upgrade to Legendary Quality perfectly resolves the issue of an insufficient number of Inferior Puppet Bodies.

In the theater, these Inferior Puppet Bodies that accompany our own units are essentially defensive dummies with multiple effects.

Moreover, these defensive dummies can continually be strengthened in the field, and each strengthening will inevitably bring a significant increase in their Defense Capability.

If used against enemies, the Inferior Puppet Bodies could also serve as a control tactic to restrict the opponents.

Should the enemy not understand the attacking mechanism of Inferior Puppet Bodies and attempt to forcefully attack them to release the target inside, they might trigger the disassembly mechanism of the Inferior Puppet Body.

They are very likely to dismember the target trapped inside during the Inferior Puppet Body’s disintegration process.
