Chapter 183: Magma Slug

The Queen Desert Horror saw that these two terrifying people were approaching it and it immediately dropped to the ground, begging for its life.

Lin Fan and Angela were both surprised to see this, but then they revealed smiles since it looked quite funny begging for its life like this.

The Queen Desert Horror saw these smiles and thought that these two terrifying humans were about to release it, so it looked up with eyes filled with hope.

But before it could even finish, Lin Fan's blade was already moving towards the Queen Desert Horror's head. It would have pierced right through if there wasn't a voice that suddenly spoke out that stopped him, causing the blade to stop just a single inch away from the Queen Desert Horror's head.

The Queen Desert Horror naturally wasn't able to react in time and was caught off guard when it suddenly saw the blade that had appeared in front of its face. After a tremble ran through its entire body, the Queen Desert Horror completely collapsed on the ground as the strength left its body.

Inside Lin Fan's mind was Brainy's voice.

"Master, please don't kill this Queen Desert Horror. Can you give her to me?"

Lin Fan was surprised as he stopped his blade. He let Brainy out of his sleeve and asked, "Why do you want her?"

Brainy said in his mind, "This Queen Desert Horror has the ability to create a colony of thousands of Silver Realm Desert Horrors, this is an ability that even I don't have. However, if I were to control this Queen Desert Horror, I would be able to control all of them through her."

Lin Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The one thing that he did lack now was a large number of disposable troops.

He did have troops under him, namely the righteous bandits group that he was nurturing, but he didn't want to use them as disposable troops. He wanted to have them build a network that would wrap around the entire world, making it so he could control everything with this network.

That meant that since he couldn't sacrifice them, he didn't have troops that he could send on suicide attacks if there was a need, but now this Queen Desert Horror provided the solution for this problem.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate at all to let Brainy place its seed into the unconscious Queen Desert Horror.

The Queen Desert Horror had fainted from seeing its life flash in front of its eyes from almost dying, so it didn't resist at all. Even if it was awake to resist, Brainy was already in the Platinum Realm, so forcefully controlling the Queen Desert Horror in the Gold Realm was as simple as flipping its hand, or rather its tail.

When the Queen Desert Horror woke up, the first thing it did was kneel down to Lin Fan and Brainy, showing its fealty.

Normally Brainy didn't keep any of the beasts it controlled since there was no point in keeping them, but this Queen Desert Horror would be the first. In the future, when Brainy charged into battle, this Queen Desert Horror and its troops would be the valiant vanguard for Brainy.

But after letting Brainy tame the Queen Desert Horror, Lin Fan felt that it really was a pity that they had slaughtered all the other soldiers. If they had left them, it meant that Lin Fan would have already had an army ready to use.

Still, there was no point in feeling regret over something that was already over. The only thing they could do now was let the Queen Desert Horror create another army for them. However, it was a good thing that all the Queen Desert Horror needed to create another army was a source of ingredients and Lin Fan had an endless source of that from his cultivation realm farms.

Lin Fan wouldn't have any problem supplying the Queen Desert Horror with the excess that he now had since he had already moved onto his third cultivation realm farm.

The only other problem was that this Queen Desert Horror wasn't a pet of Lin Fan's, it was a pet that was controlled by Brainy, so it couldn't enter Lin Fan's pet space. However, the fact that he now had his third cultivation realm farm was also a solution to this.

When he had defeated the Zerg Queen on his second cultivation realm farm world, the system had given him a reward and this reward was a beast storage space. When Lin Fan had opened it, it was like an inventory window that appeared in front of him.

He had tested it with different beasts he hatched in the store and he found that he could store those beasts in this beast storage space without having to make contracts with them. This had been a problem for Lin Fan since there was only a limited amount of contracts that he could make with his current spiritual sense, so there was a limit to his breeding before.

Now that he had this pet storage space, the only limit that he had was the amount of eggs that he could obtain.

The other good part about the pet storage space was that it had the stacking item effect of an inventory system, meaning that pets of the same race could be stored in a single storage space with a number underneath to indicate how many of them there were.

This meant that even if the Queen Desert Horror gave birth to thousands of soldier ants, all those soldiers would only take a single slot. Or at least they would until Lin Fan found the upper limit of a stack in the system's storage system. So far Lin Fan hadn't found it yet, but that was only because he didn't have many of the same race of beasts.

The storage of the system also didn't mean that the beasts stored would go into stasis like with other systems, it actually created an isolated space for the beasts that it stored, allowing them to move around freely.

Once the Queen Desert Horror was placed in the storage, Lin Fan also moved quite a few ingredients over to her to let her start breeding eggs. Desert Horror eggs didn't take that long to hatch, so it wouldn't take long before Lin Fan would have his army.

While this storage was good for now, Lin Fan was also tempted to buy a special storage artifact for insect type beasts like this. Those hive shaped storage artifacts could hold an entire colony of insect type beasts.

If Brainy could have this artifact, it could freely move around and coordinate with Lin Fan as it released soldier ants to attack their enemies. It would definitely be more effective than releasing the soldier ants around Lin Fan since that was the range of the beast storage of the system.

However, that was all for later in the future. For now, they still had other things to do.

After the Queen Desert Horror was taken care of, Brainy notified Lin Fan that it had found another beast that wasn't native to this environment.

Actually, this one was quite easy to find since it was really bad at adapting to this environment. It had even reached the point where it had burnt down a large patch of the trees around it, creating a giant black mark in the entire forest.

Brainy led Lin Fan over to the black mark, but just like in the tunnel, Lin Fan and Angela acted like they were just going on a pleasant stroll.

As they came closer to where Brainy said the beast was, they could feel the temperature around them rising and they could smell the scent of smoke in the air. It was clear that there was something very hot near them and it had burnt down quite a few trees.

Finally they came out of the trees to find a large patch of burnt land in front of them.

This patch of burnt land continued forward in front of them, perfectly forming a straight line. It was like something had been dropped here that had burnt away all the trees around it before it continued moving in a straight line, burning everything around it as it went.

Looking into the distance, they could see a large patch of smoke rising from the forest in front of them.

Angela had better eyesight than Lin Fan because of her cultivation, so she could easily make out a red slug that was slithering along in the forest.

This was the Magma Slug that Lin Fan had seen in the picture before. This was a beast that shouldn't have been found in this forest environment since it was a beast that was naturally formed in magma, so normally it would only be found deep in volcanoes.

This Magma Slug's entire body was made of magma, except for the rocks that covered its back.

The Magma Slug's magma was like blood and the filtration organ that was similar to the kidney was located on the back of the magma slug. That organ filtered out all the impurities in the magma and finally all those impurities formed the rock shell that was found on its back.

These impurities were considered impurities to the Magma Slug, but these impurities were actually rare metals. Once these impurities were released and cooled on the back of the Magma Slug, it created a powerful rock shell that was almost impossible to crack.

There were only two places to attack the Magma Slug, its back or its skin that was as hot as magma, reaching 1000 degrees celsius.

So that meant that one either attacked a place where the heat was strong enough to melt their weapons or they attacked the shell that was incredibly hard.

That was why most people had difficulty fighting this Magma Slug, since its defenses were usually an entire realm higher than the cultivation realm it was currently in.

But that didn't mean a thing to Lin Fan.
