60: The Beastmaster's Outrageous Leveling Method

But before he could speak, Liu Guang had already scurried over to him, holding up his shield, covered in claw marks, to block.

Du Ruo and Han Xu also quickly returned to the Consultant's side.

Everyone knew that the Consultant was the core of this battle!

But the Nargacuga had not lost its mind. It stared coldly at the Consultant for a moment, then suddenly moved in a certain direction!

That direction was towards the Poison Wyvern's mangled corpse!

The Nargacuga quickly leaped to the side of the Poison Wyvern's corpse, and without hesitation, bit down, directly crushing half of the Poison Wyvern's head!

In an instant, red, white, and yellow liquids flew everywhere, being swallowed whole by the Nargacuga. The scene was indescribably disgusting.

The Consultant's stomach churned, and he almost vomited:

"How can it start eating in the middle of a fight... Damn, is that brain matter? So gross!"

The Nargacuga devoured half of the head in an instant, as if it hadn't eaten its entire life!

Immediately after, it let out a long roar to the sky, and a more vibrant bloody color surged over its reddish skin!

White steam continuously spewed from its gaping maw, as if its entire body had entered an overheating state!

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly appeared before the Consultant's eyes.

[Please note, the Nargacuga has entered a Berserk state. Its movements are faster, its actions are erratic, and it fears no injury!]

"Aha, I get it... In short, it's starting to fight for its life, right?"

The Consultant quickly took a step back, raised his hand, and shouted:

"Continue, go!"

Even in a Berserk state, there was no need to fear.

All he had to do was protect himself and continue to command Du Ruo and the others.

"Understood!"

Liu Guang immediately nodded, used a defense-boosting skill again, and charged forward at the lead.

Du Ruo followed closely. She leaped up, dancing in mid-air like an elf, holding her spear and thrusting it at the Nargacuga.

Han Xu, on the other hand, held his long saber, continuing to look for opportunities to attack the Nargacuga's abdomen.

The Nargacuga's Berserk state, which should have been very troublesome, now seemed vulnerable.

After losing its tail, even though the Nargacuga's movements were still swift, it lacked an important attack method.

In just a few minutes, it was forced out of its Berserk state and fell into a disadvantage again.

"Good! Well fought!"

"Push harder, get behind it, block it!"

"Yes, just like that, charge, charge!"

The Consultant even put his saber back into his ring, holding the Slime in his arms and acting as a cheerleader from the side.

In this situation, there was no point in him going up. If something went wrong, others would have to rescue him.

At that point, affecting his 'strategizing' demeanor would be minor; casualties would be major!

And Du Ruo and the others had no doubts about the Consultant's actions. After all, no team would want a support class to be on the front lines.

The Consultant directing from the side and protecting himself was already a huge help to them.

Another few minutes passed, and the Nargacuga, exhausted, fell under the hands of the three.

After the Consultant used the system's ability to confirm that the Nargacuga was completely dead, he confidently approached it and carefully examined it.

All of the Nargacuga's teeth and claws were broken, its body was pierced in many places by spears, and its abdomen had a terrifying gash.

Tsk. The Consultant clicked his tongue in disappointment.

He had wanted to see if anything could be salvaged, but there was basically nothing intact.

However, even if the exterior was scarred, one thing was definitely still there.

That was... the magical beast crystal core!

There was no hope for the Poison Wyvern's magical beast crystal core; the Nargacuga had already crushed it when it was gnawing on the corpse.

Therefore, all that remained now was the Nargacuga's magical beast crystal core.

For most magical beasts, the crystal core is the most valuable, used to craft various equipment or weapons.

So the Consultant felt awkward directly taking the Nargacuga's crystal core for himself in front of everyone.

But Du Ruo, on the other hand, clearly had no such reservations.

She casually thrust her spear into the Nargacuga's body, pulled it out with force, and dug out a shimmering crystal core.

Liu Guang and Han Xu had no objection to Du Ruo's actions.

In this battle, Du Ruo contributed the most, and she also inflicted the fatal blow.

Even if she didn't say it, the crystal core should belong to her.

But to everyone's surprise, after Du Ruo pulled out this crystal core, she glanced at it indifferently and then threw it to the Consultant.

"Last time you came for a magical beast crystal core, right? Then this crystal core is also for you."

After Du Ruo finished speaking, she looked at the other two, "Do you have any objections?"

Liu Guang and Han Xu both shook their heads.

Even if they obtained this crystal core, it would only be to exchange for some money.

Rather than that, it would be better to save face and use this opportunity to foster the relationship between the Azure Dragon Knight and this mysterious Beast Tamer.

Moreover, the Consultant played a significant role throughout the journey, including in the final battle.

The Consultant hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

He took the crystal core, thanked Du Ruo, casually wiped the blood off it on his clothes, and then lowered his head to look at it.

[Nargacuga crystal core: A fifth-tier magical beast crystal core, possessing the Nargacuga's core power.]

It didn't seem to have any special abilities.

The Consultant held the crystal core above his head in front of everyone.

The Slime perched on the Consultant's head wiggled slightly and quickly enveloped the crystal core.

[Your Slime has successfully devoured the Nargacuga crystal core.]

[Estimated absorption time: 20 days.]

[Upon completion of absorption, the Slime's various special attributes will be enhanced.]

20 days?!

The Consultant was startled by the duration!

Even the previous Silver Vine Demon Realm Flower didn't take this long to digest!

But the Consultant then thought that the Nargacuga was, after all, a fifth-tier magical beast, and the power contained within its crystal core far exceeded imagination.

Perhaps after the Slime completed its evolution, it would gain unexpected abilities.

"This... is this how a Beast Tamer levels up?"

Liu Guang showed a surprised expression when he saw the Consultant's actions.

Han Xu didn't speak, but his expression was also a bit strange.

Leveling up by feeding high-tier magical beast crystal cores was an unprecedented method, and... extremely expensive!

Du Ruo also saw the Consultant use the magical beast crystal core for the first time. Just as she was about to say something, her expression suddenly changed, and she pointed to the top of the Consultant's head:

"Your... your Slime..."

Du Ruo looked strange. The Consultant subconsciously touched the top of his head, but before he could even touch it, he felt some mucus dripping down his head!

"Damn it!"
