64: Chapter 64 A World-Destroying Beast? Whose world-destroying beast is so small and cute?

This trial is not complicated.

The difficulty lies in interpreting the meaning of the runes; as long as one knows the meaning of the runes within, one can know the method to break it.

Likewise, this trial also only allows summoning one pet to assist.

"Which of you can understand these runes and ancient text?"

Lu Chen looked at all the pets in the beast pen.

But they were all blank-faced, because they didn't recognize these ancient runes; it was estimated that even an SSS-rank legendary pet might not be able to understand them.

This put Lu Chen in a difficult spot.

According to the details of the first stage of the mission, failing the Wisdom Trial would not affect continuing the advancement mission, but it would result in a permanent -30% reduction to all pet attributes, and the score would also be relatively lower.

Lu Chen didn't want to receive the penalty of a permanent -30% reduction to all pet attributes; otherwise, in the future, the pets' attributes would always be 30% lower, making it impossible to exert their maximum strength.

At this moment, a thought occurred to Lu Chen.

The System shop sold everything except for mission items, so was there a book for translating ancient runes?

Thus, Lu Chen hurriedly opened the item tab to search.

With this search! He actually found it!

[Item Name: Ancient Translation Book]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Effect: As a legendary translation book, you only need to transcribe ancient runes and text onto it, and it can directly translate them into annotations that you can understand!]

Buy it! Buy it!

[Ding, you spent 1 gold coin to purchase Legendary Ancient Translation Book X1!]

Rather than a book, it was more like a single sheet of paper with an embedded frame, somewhat resembling a tablet, and it even came with a smooth pen!

Lu Chen hurriedly copied the runes and characters from the stone tablet. Ten minutes later, he finished transcribing all the runes and ancient characters.

The next second, the Ancient Translation Book annotated the runes and ancient characters one by one; the meaning was crystal clear, and it even translated the phrases formed by the ancient characters!

Ancient text: [Beast Soul Eye Gazes at Balance]!

Translation: [Arrange and combine the rune symbols and numbers so that the sum of the rune numbers in the corresponding positions of the inner and outer circles of the Ancient Stone Tablet are equal!]

For the Transmigration user Lu Chen, this was child's play.

Inner circle runes/numbers: Wolf/3, Bear/1, Eagle/5, Mountain/7!

Outer circle runes/numbers: Water/10, Wind/12, Fish/8, Deer/6!

It's just that the runes on the inner and outer circles needed to rotate simultaneously, requiring a pet to cooperate. Lu Chen immediately chose to have the most agile Green Blade Radiant Thorn Snake assist.

Before long, the combination was complete.

The Ancient Stone Tablet suddenly burst forth with immense runic light, and a gap began to split open from the middle section.

"This is..."

He saw a beast egg radiating the aura of a Vicious Beast fly out from within the stone tablet and hover in front of Lu Chen.

[Ding, congratulations on completing the Wisdom Trial and successfully passing the first stage of the Beast Soul Trial!]

[Ding, the second stage mission has begun. Please take the Ancient Beast Egg and proceed in order to the five designated locations to tame the corresponding rampaging Ancient Beast Soul Lord BOSSes.]

[Ding, you have temporarily obtained the Beast Tamer exclusive skill — Soul Whisper, which allows you to communicate with Ancient Beast Souls!]

[Ding, taming time limit is 150 minutes; for every failed taming attempt, the time is reduced by 5 minutes!]

Hmm? A Beast Tamer exclusive skill?

This puzzled Lu Chen.

Doesn't the Beast Tamer only have one unique exclusive skill, [Beast Taming]?

What is going on with the exclusive skill [Sky Resonance] that appeared during the Tier 3 advancement mission, and now the exclusive skill [Soul Whisper]?

Could it be that the Beast Tamer profession originally had multiple profession skills? But for some unknown reason, it now only has one exclusive [Beast Taming] skill?

Lu Chen suddenly felt that this involved a very ancient secret.

But this was not a secret he could explore right now; for the moment, he should just focus on completing this advancement mission well.

The second stage of the mission involved two achievement auras. Lu Chen was determined to obtain these two auras, as they were crucial to whether or not he could clear the final stage.

[Forbidden Spell — Divine Concealment!]

To save travel time, Lu Chen immediately used the Forbidden Spell to travel.

Following the map route guidance, Lu Chen soon arrived at the first fire-elemental Ancient Beast Soul Lord BOSS.

[Name: Flame Prison Lord · Garom]

This was a flame behemoth. As a fire-elemental Lord BOSS, it was bound by flame chains. Its eyes were burning with dark flames; at a glance, it was clearly severely corrupted by darkness and in a rampaging state, having lost its reason.

[Ding, mission prompt: reduce its health to below half to increase the success rate of soothing or taming. The lower the health, the higher the success rate, but remember not to kill it, otherwise the mission will be judged as a failure!]

Oh? Give it a beating?

That's easy!

Lu Chen was best at beating up BOSSes; conversely, tedious plot-based and wisdom-based missions were what gave Lu Chen a headache.

The Tier 3 Lord BOSS, with the S-rank talent full attribute bonus, only had 330,000 health.

Lu Chen only needed to have the fifth, the Poison Thorn Ice Ant, use the [Ice Thorn Poison Infusion] skill on it, and it would be reduced to a critical health state.

[Soul Whisper!]

Lu Chen cast this skill to communicate with it, soothe the BOSS's emotions, and stabilize it. If that didn't work, he would directly cast the [Beast Taming] skill on it.

[Brave little one, I have temporarily suppressed the dark corruption. The Ancient Beast Egg you carry is the only hope for our Ancient Forest. This is the Fire Source Crystal that I was responsible for safeguarding!]

The Flame Prison Lord spat out a crystal with flowing flames.

Under the influence of the mission rules, this Fire Source Crystal was directly absorbed by the Ancient Beast Egg, and some cracks appeared on the surface of the Ancient Beast Egg.

"Is this to hatch this Ancient Beast Egg?"

Lu Chen suddenly realized the ultimate goal of this advancement mission.

Afterwards, Lu Chen continued to head to the other three Lord BOSS locations to tame them one by one!

[Name: Abyssal Silence Lord · Selena] Tamed! Obtained Water Source Crystal.

[Name: Firmament Lord · Terra] Tamed! Obtained Wind Source Crystal.

[Name: Earth Fury Lord · Gund] Tamed! Obtained Earth Source Crystal.

[Name: Sky Fury Lord · Leck] Tamed! Obtained Thunder Source Crystal.

When the Ancient Beast Egg finished absorbing the energy of the five Source Crystals, cracks completely covered the entire egg.

The next instant! Bang! A huge explosion!

In front of Lu Chen appeared a cute little Ancient Beast, resembling a miniature Godzilla, but with skin like jade all over its body, and a spine made of Source Crystals with five attributes on its back.

[Ding, congratulations on successfully completing the mission to tame the five great Ancient Beast Souls, and having been attacked by the Ancient Beast Souls ≤ 3 times. Unlocked achievement aura — Uncrowned Beast King, HP +400%!]

[Ding, please escort the Ancient Beast cub to the Moon Lake. It has just been born and is in an extremely weak state with very low HP. It has already been targeted by a powerful Domain Lord-level Invading Monster BOSS lurking in the Ancient Forest.]

The mission prompt finished.

The Ancient Beast cub wobbled over to Lu Chen, lifted its royal head, and a line of text appeared above its head:

[I am the Dominator of the Ancient Forest · World-Ending Behemoth Queen Lilia, the most powerful Ancient King Beast of the Ancient Forest. Tiny job changer, if you can escort this Queen safely to the Moon Lake, I shall grant you the honor of witnessing eternal destruction.]

World-Ending Behemoth?

What kind of world-ending behemoth is this small and cute?

He picked it up!

[Eek, take down your filthy hands! This Queen's body shall not be defiled by you!]

"..."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes.

Great!

This was a tsundere little behemoth.

"You walk too slowly; I'll carry you so we can go faster!"

[You are not allowed to carry this Queen like this; this Queen is the noble and incomparable World-Ending Behemoth Queen!]

"Got it, World-Ending Behemoth!"

[You are not allowed to call this Queen that; you must address this Queen as Queen-sama!]

"Alright, World-Ending Behemoth!"

[It is Queen-sama!]

"If you keep howling like this, the Invading Monster BOSS will be drawn here!"

Hearing this, the World-Ending Behemoth Lilia immediately didn't dare to howl anymore and clamped her mouth shut, but text kept appearing above her head:

[Rude boy...]
