Chapter 34 - The Seventh Era

Chapter 34 The Seventh Era

An organization that dealt with mutated beast corpses and environmental pollution would set up its base in the middle of the city.

On the one hand, it reflected the support of Jinghai Province for the “Scavenger” branch and the recognition of the status of the organization.

On the other hand, it was also to take care of the corpses of the mutated beasts that were transported over from all around the city. They could all be sent to the beast incinerator within two days.

The blood and bodily fluids of mutated beasts were highly corrosive and poisonous. When splashed on a person’s body, it was like sulfuric acid.

If not immediately wiped clean and washed with copious amounts of clear water, the poison would invade the person’s skin.

Best-case scenario, he would need to be carefully taken care of by a healing-type beast.

Worst-case scenario, amputations or even death.

Due to the uniqueness of the mutated beast’s bodily fluids and blood, the meat of the mutated beast could not be processed into food for the beasts.

Even poison-type beasts would experience a series of abnormal reactions after eating the corpses of mutated beasts.

Only a few fungi could decompose the corpses of mutated beasts.

However, these fungi were too weak and the speed at which they disintegrated the corpses of the mutated beasts was too slow.

Cultivating these fungi required much less investment than harvesting. After several creation masters tried it, this plan was completely forsaken.

The corpses of low-level mutated beasts would rot within two days.

As for mutated beasts above the Terror-level, because the poison in their blood and body fluids was stronger, they would usually be preserved for less than a day.

The black vehicles with the special sign of Scavenger painted on the street could ignore traffic rules.

It was necessary to make allowances so that they do not delay the time taken to send the corpses of mutated beasts at Terror-level and above into the incinerator.

As a transmigrator, Fang Mu had carefully studied the history of the world he was currently in.

Dimensional rifts have existed since historical times but the history of this world seemed to be missing something.

Fang Mu’s time was known as the Seventh Era.

The history before the Sixth Era was recorded only in bits and pieces.

This puzzled Fang Mu.

Humans were a race that liked to remember history, if humans existed before the Sixth Era, the records of history should not be so incomplete.

However, the bits and pieces recorded before the Sixth Era confirmed that human civilization did exist at that time.

Fang Mu still remembered the three words recorded in the historical texts.

Radiance, Freedom, and Azure.

When he encountered something he could not figure out, Fang Mu did not go into it.

Actually, the existence of the dimensional rift did not only bring harm to human lives.

It also came with benefits.

The level of the dimensional rift had a precise and perfect measurement method.

He only needed to use a special instrument called a dimensional wave gauge to measure the fluctuations of the dimension while standing within the fluctuation range of the dimensional rift.

Below 1,000 fluctuations would be an Old Soldier-level or Heavy Cannon-level dimensional rift. The strongest dimensional creature inside was only at the Old Soldier-level.

It corresponded to Bronze and Silver-rank Beasts.

The dimensional fluctuations ranged from 1,000 to 5,000 points from the Heavy Cannon-level fissure.

The strongest dimensional creatures inside were at the heavy cannon level, corresponding to Silver and Gold-rank beasts.

As there were too many types of mutated beasts, the corpses could not bring benefits to humans, hence they had not much research value.

Therefore, there was no strict division of the strength of the mutated beasts.

Dimensional rifts at the Old Soldier and Heavy Cannon-levels often appeared in the wilderness outside the city.

This was because there were towering dimensional towers at intervals inside the city that could stabilize space.

Therefore, dimensional rifts at the Old Soldier-level and heavy artillery level usually did not appear in cities.

When the dimensional rift reached the Terror level, it might not be affected by the stability of the dimensional tower.

It appeared directly in the city.

Once a terrifying dimensional rift was opened in the city, it would be considered a disaster.

The strength of a Terror-level beast was equivalent to Gold and Platinum Rank Beast.

Exotic beasts of this level could easily destroy buildings and cities.

There were also dimensional rifts above the Terror-level but there was no relevant information in books about dimensional rifts of this level.

Fang Mu had once asked Cui Ruochen why such general knowledge was not recorded in the library’s literature.

Cui Ruochen’s answer to Fang Mu was “so as not to bring unnecessary panic.”

It was said that every time a dimensional rift above the Terror-level was destroyed, a special ghost-type beast would be produced.

Ghost-type beasts were existences born from the death energy produced by killing in dimensional rifts and interacting with soul power.

Among all the known beasts, ghost-type beasts were the most valuable.

Ghost-type beasts were so precious not only because they were very rare and powerful but also to the way ghost-type beasts were contracted.

Contracting an ordinary beast required mental strength but contracting a ghost-type beast required a certain amount of soul power.

It would not affect the Beast Tamer from comprehending the profound patterns and ghost-type beasts would also protect the contractor’s soul.

In addition, even if an Old Soldier-level dimensional rift was destroyed, dimensional crystals corresponding to the type of dimensional rift would drop.

Dimensional crystals were important materials for forging spiritual artifacts of silver-level and above.

It was for this reason that the price of a silver spiritual artifact was at least 10 times higher than a bronze spiritual artifact.

While the dimensional rift brought disaster to humanity, it also increased the overall strength of the Beast Tamers.

The increase in the overall strength of Beast Tamers also maintained the stability of human society.

Fang Mu wasn’t even a Beast Tamer until two months ago.

Never thought I’d become a Scavenger.

The internal workings of the Scavenger organization had always been kept secret from the outside world.

Only by joining Scavenger could one learn anything about it.

Fang Mu’s Six-Hoofed Coiling Goat cart pulled into the Scavenger base parking lot.

Fang Mu was not wearing the uniform of Jinghai Beast Taming High School because it was a holiday.

In addition, Fang Mu’s daily supply of 1,500 milliliters of blood last night, made him look pale and unsteady on his feet.

Ever since he had donated blood for Blood Of Abundance, Fang Mu had always kept the thermos cup in his hand.

Fang Mu added the petals and leaves of the Jade Condensing Camellia to his original concoction.

The blood replenishment effect was amazing; Fang Mu would look no different from an ordinary person by the afternoon.

The driver, who was driving, kept glancing at Fang Mu in the rearview mirror as if he wanted to say something

Now that he saw Fang Mu preparing to get out of the car, the driver couldn’t help but speak up.

“You don’t look 18 yet, lad! If you really need money, I suggest that you go to the spiritual store and ask if they need a clerk. You can do odd jobs.”

“You’re not like those Scavengers who are Beast Tamers who have powerful beasts to protect them when they incinerate the corpses of mutated beasts.”

“Once you inhale the scent emitted by an exotic beast when it’s being burned, it won’t be long before your nasal, trachea, and five viscera develop lesions.”
