Beast Tamer: Carrying a small world of the end times with you

"Quick, grab some ordinary zombies and feed them to it! That way, you'll constantly have evolved zombies to eat!" Qian Er excitedly urged the Abomination Giant.

The Abomination Giant also noticed the change in the zombie at this moment and became excited as well, immediately using its flesh and blood avatar to grab some zombies.

Even with only half of the main body's attributes, those ordinary zombies couldn't even dream of breaking its defense. Before long, the flesh and blood avatar returned, clutching a large pile of shattered zombies.

Because only their brain stones were needed, Qian Er didn't specifically ask for live ones this time. After digging out the brain stones one by one, Qian Er fed them all to the zombie in the Abomination Giant's hand.

As for the shattered flesh and blood, they were all thrown into the Abomination Giant's mouth, focusing on not wasting anything.

After feeding it a hundred brain stones, the aura of the zombie in the Abomination Giant's hand suddenly underwent a qualitative change.

At this moment, although the zombie's attribute panel couldn't be seen, both Qian Er and the Abomination Giant understood that it had completed its evolution.

The Abomination Giant's eyes gleamed as it threw the zombie into its mouth and chewed, but soon, a strange expression appeared on its face, and its eyes revealed a mix of disappointment and surprise.

"What's with that expression? Just give me a straight answer. Did it work or not?"

Qian Er frowned and asked. But before he could finish speaking, a white light suddenly shone from the Abomination Giant's body.

It was the light of evolution.

After digesting the previous evolved Corpse King and the newly evolved zombie, the Abomination Giant's level also increased to level 36, reaching the edge of evolution.

But at this moment, the Abomination Giant firmly remembered Qian Er's previous instructions. After realizing that it hadn't reached its limit, it immediately interrupted the evolution.

The white light shattered, and the Abomination Giant's figure reappeared without any changes, which relieved Qian Er.

"Roar!"

The Abomination Giant, having interrupted its evolution, immediately gave Qian Er a report.

After listening to the Abomination Giant's words, a hint of astonishment flashed in Qian Er's eyes.

"Huh? Are you saying that only the crystal core of the newly evolved zombie is useful, and the flesh and blood are no different from ordinary zombies?"

The Abomination Giant's huge body nodded repeatedly. If it hadn't been for that crystal core, it wouldn't have been so close to evolving.

"I see... it must be because the zombie's evolution only consumed the crystal core and not the flesh and blood."

Qian Er guessed, stroking his chin. But if that was the case, it would be troublesome, because he had tried before, and those zombies could be forced to eat the crystal cores of their own kind, but they couldn't bring themselves to eat the flesh and blood of their own kind.

"Tsk, this is troublesome. That means this method can only be temporarily put aside and used for leveling up after you evolve into a Flesh Demon."

With a helpless shrug, Qian Er had no choice but to lead the Abomination Giant towards the next forbidden area.

Originally, he thought that if this method really worked, he wouldn't have to bother searching for evolved Corpse Kings, but he didn't expect this. It really felt like the heavens were against him.

At this moment, Qian Er didn't realize that his Abomination Giant was vastly different from others of its kind.

Normal Abomination Giants cultivate a blood essence by constantly devouring flesh and blood, and can even use this blood essence to attack. This blood essence also carries a demonic nature, driving the Abomination Giant mad.

This is why the evolved form of the Abomination Giant is called a Flesh Demon.

But Qian Er's Abomination Giant showed no signs of madness at all.

It was understandable that Qian Er didn't notice this, because knowledge about evolved pets isn't taught in high school; it's only available in university.

This is because no high school student had ever evolved their pet so soon after obtaining it, even insect-type pets, which are known for their short growth cycles.

...

Three days later.

"Huff..."

A bucket of cold water was poured from head to toe, washing away the foam and bloodstains. The refreshing feeling made Qian Er feel as if he had come back to life.

"Roar!"

The Abomination Giant, who was sitting cross-legged on the side and was two stories tall, couldn't help but make a low growl when he saw Qian Er's comfortable expression, as if afraid that Qian Er would forget about it, urging Qian Er to take care of it quickly.

"I know, I know, don't worry."

Qian Er smiled, wrapped a bath towel around himself, picked up a hose he bought from the Pet World, and sprayed the Abomination Giant with it, washing away the bloodstains on its body.

Then, he stepped on a ladder and used a large brush taller than himself to scrub the stubborn dirt on the Abomination Giant's body.

This was still the apocalyptic world, in Qian Er's base. The water was drawn from a well.

He didn't go back to clean it because the Abomination Giant's size was a bit too shocking now, exceeding the Abomination Giant's world record by an unknown amount. It had been upgraded from a large pet to an extra-large pet.

Don't underestimate that one extra word; the various expenses required for daily training and maintenance would increase exponentially.

Because he was a bit short on money, Qian Er took this measure and bought materials to take the Abomination Giant to the apocalyptic world for rest and recuperation.

He had just taken the opportunity to measure it while taking a bath. The Abomination Giant's height had now reached a terrifying 15 meters. Previously, the Abomination Giant's upper limit was almost only up to its waist.

But cleaning this fifteen-meter behemoth wasn't so easy. After one trip, Qian Er felt like he was about to die, panting heavily and covered in sweat.

"Alright, alright, are you comfortable now? If you're comfortable, let's go."

After washing himself again, Qian Er put all the tools into his space backpack, then took the Abomination Giant back to the Pet World through the dual portal.

As soon as he returned, the phone signal was connected, and a series of vibrations almost made the phone jump out of his pocket.

He took out his phone and saw that it was sent by the old principal, more than forty messages in a row, scaring Qian Er into thinking that he had missed the competition.

But after looking at the time, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was still more than an hour before the competition started.

At this moment, the old principal's call came again, and Qian Er answered the phone. The moment the phone was connected, he clearly heard a very obvious sigh of relief from the other side.

"I say, Principal, isn't the competition starting at ten in the morning? Why did you call me at five?"

Qian Er asked teasingly.

"I'm panicking! This year is the most promising year. I get especially flustered at this time, and I can't sleep at all."

The old principal's uneasy voice came from the other side of the phone. He didn't ask why Qian Er's phone always showed that it was not in the service area. The Empire strictly prohibits inquiring about other Beast Masters' opportunities. They had learned their lesson.

In the past, some geniuses obtained great opportunities, and then the powerful families at that time found out. Those powerful families would arrest those geniuses, torture them severely, force them to reveal the location of the opportunity, and then make those geniuses sign contracts to sell themselves to exploit them.

Those geniuses were like they had their backbones broken, and they signed the contracts without saying a word, and suffered humiliation ever since.

Later, those geniuses constantly endured and accumulated strength. When their strength was enough to counterattack, they launched a rebellion. In that battle, more than a dozen large families that had existed since before the founding of the country were destroyed, and countless small families after the founding of the country were killed, with a death toll of more than 700,000.

Later, the killing was too brutal, which led to the Empire having to intervene and suppress the rebellion, and erased all traces of those geniuses' existence.

Since then, the Empire promulgated laws, strictly prohibiting inquiring about other Beast Masters' opportunities.
