Chapter 276: Chapter 126: Floating in the Mother River Until Losing Contact (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_3

Some of the smarter creatures even impersonate humans, or set up fake island ruins to lure in Beastmasters who’ve entered the Spiritual Sea, then devour them to strengthen themselves.

As their strength increases, these mutated monsters instinctively dive deeper into the Primordial Spirit Sea, seeking Primitive Copper. After absorbing it, they undergo a transformation, becoming Morning Star Level mutants.

At this stage, they become life harvesters in the Primordial Spirit Sea, killing Beastmasters in large numbers. Some even enter the next branch of the Mother River in search of more powerful prey.

Lilith once said that although there are many mutants, the vastness of the Spiritual Sea means the chances of encountering one are pretty low.

Who would have thought that on his first-ever venture here, he would encounter a mutant? Furthermore, judging by its aura, it seemed to have achieved the level of Spiritual Metamorphosis. Its abilities seemed supremely unsettling.

This luck... he wasn’t sure whether to call it good or bad!

After all, Beastmasters also need to venture deep into the Spiritual Sea to acquire Primitive Copper. However, this is extremely dangerous, and it requires luck for the copper to simply drift to them.

As a result, there’s an alternative method— to kill these "natural carriers". The chances of obtaining Primitive Copper from their bodies are even higher.

"Watch out!"

Gary Smith was alert, with Little Spider and Mousie ready by his side, prepared to fight at any moment.

However, this Mutant Crab Clan cautiously raised its head, its rotting eyes, veiled by seaweed, gradually opening to emit an eerily green light. Just now awakened from its hibernation, it had already sensed life nearby, ready for a good meal.

Yet when it saw Gary Smith, it paused involuntarily, a touch of bewilderment appearing in its eyes.

A Silver Rank Beastmaster?

Its first reaction, for it maintained a shred of reasoning, was that it hadn’t fully awakened yet.

Whether harking back to a small part of its memories before the mutation, or its memories of devouring humans, it knew the prerequisite for entering the Primordial Spirit Sea was achieving the Golden Peak. At the very least, one would have to be at the Gold Level.

The Silver Rank simply wasn’t possible... it was supposedly unable to survive within the Spiritual Sea.

It seemed it had been starving for too long... and was hallucinating...

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The Mutant Crab Clan bubbled, its mind dull. The longer it stayed in the Spiritual Sea, the more severe its loss of reasoning, the more diminished its intelligence. It mistook Gary Smith for an illusion that appears in the Primordial Spirit Sea, turned around, and prepared to forage for food in other areas.

"..."

Gary Smith was momentarily stunned. Upon reaction, he realized he was apparently too insignificant, and thus had been directly disregarded.

It wasn’t menacing, but it was extremely insulting.

However, this was not bad. He did not have Eggy with him now. Even if it were present, it would not have resentment to absorb, it could not directly confront a monster of the Spiritual Metamorphosis level.

Just when Gary was about to let it go peacefully, he saw the other side of the human-faced crab- a small islet-like shield it carried on its back. It seemed to be the camouflage tool the crab used for deception.

It was covered with dense mycelium, like a spore fungus gathering area, growing over a large number of corpses. From it sprouted an extraordinary, transcendent plant.

It was pale like a dead person’s arm, with a clenched fist holding a black light ball. Upon closer inspection, you could see a large number of mysterious spells within the light ball, emitting a cold and eerie aura.

"Could it be... a Curse Flower!"

Gary Smith couldn’t help but take a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. Even though this thing seemed to be related to human beings, it was actually a transcendent plant which only appears in areas with a lot of death and a high local spiritual energy concentration. This mutant human-faced crab happened to fulfill both conditions.

Aside from the genuine Mother River, there is no other place that could compare with the Primordial Spirit Sea, which feeds countless worlds.

A mutant human-faced crab like this, collecting a large number of skulls while retaining a strong aura of death, provides perfect conditions for the growth of the Curse Flower. It could also use this as a trap to lure in regular Beastmasters.

If it’s consumed directly, it will turn into a curse that corrodes the target.

It needs to be specially processed so that a Cursed Art Mystic Beast can consume it and randomly acquire a curse. This can boost all its curses below the super-level by one rank.

This all-round enhancement is like a godsend to Beastmasters who focus on cursed art spirit puzzles. For this reason, it has an extraordinarily high price on the market and is always purchased at a high price by a few Cursed Art Schools as soon as it appears.

After all, isn’t it impossible to have too many things that can enhance the overall strength and potential of pet beasts?

The reason Gary Smith was so excited was that if he acquired the Curse Flower, he would be able to enhance all the spells in the Spirit Puppetry Thread of the Little Spider and directly transform it into a super-tier skill.

The skill was previously capable of transforming everything into puppets. Even the Priest of the Netherland, a Golden High-Rank Beastmaster, was almost manipulated into suicide without his Spirit Vision turned on.

Such ideal control capabilities, if they could be promoted to superior level, could fully match the Void Nest and become a core ability of the Dominator System. They could even further complete the nature of the Little Spider and commence its evolution.

Especially since the Void Nest still needs a constant stream of slave beasts, while the Spirit Puppetry Thread has more puppets available the more enemies it faces. It is not afraid of swarm tactics at all.

In addition to living things, the Little Spider could even try to impersonate a Gundam. Or take it a step further to manipulate mountains and rivers alike, where everything becomes a doll in its hand.
