Chapter 406 Star Beast Market
Fu Han had a very good impression of the Valley of the Giant Gods, and the customs here exuded a primitive atmosphere.
However, the outside world's views on the Valley of the Giants are somewhat extreme. Even in Star Chasing Academy, people from Giant God Valley will be regarded as mountain cannons, bumpkins, and barbarians.
This is related to the fact that the customs of the people in the Valley of the Giants are not the same as those in other places in the Morning Star Alliance.
This can be seen from the tendency of practicing in the ashram. Dojos in other places actually tend to train fighting beast masters. What is studied is how to gain the greatest advantage and win the championship in a battle restricted by rules.
The dojo in the Valley of the Giants still maintains the original form of the Beast Tamer Dojo organization. They only teach beast masters how to capture and hunt star beasts.
It can be said that after the atmosphere of Yanyan City gradually turned to trade, the Valley of the Giants was probably the place with the most hunters in Qixing Land.
When Fu Han saw the spy's report two days ago, he felt a little surprised. Zhang Zhijing actually wanted to find someone to accompany her to the contaminated area to contract the corrupted star beast. You know, even in the Divine Resting Land, people will not trespass into areas contaminated by ape rot. Why does this kind of thing seem to be a bit common in the alliance world?
With doubts in mind, Fu Han came to the dojo block, and he was surprised to find that this was really the case...
There is a special star beast resource market in the dojo block of the Valley of the Titans. What is traded there are the star beasts captured by the hunters, or the star beast materials. As for Broken Star, most of them would still go through the channels of the Beast Tamer Trading Company. There are also some here, but the transactions are not very frequent.
When visiting star beast material stores and stalls, Fu Han found a lot of fur or bones and teeth from corrupted star beasts. There was an aura of orangutan rot on it that made Fu Han feel familiar, but it was different from the kind of orangutan rot that Fu Han was familiar with.
This is not surprising, Fu Han has heard about it a long time ago. The orangutan pollution outside Zhuxing City this time is different from the past. The new anti-corrosion agent has not been published yet.
Fu Han didn't have much interest in the star beast materials, so he took a cursory glance and continued walking deeper into the market.
This market is not small, and there are many people selling star beasts. Most of the star beasts are kept in old-fashioned inscribed cages. The function of this kind of cage is mainly to isolate the star beast from the outside world. Vision, hearing, mental power, and even soul perception are all cut off.
First, it is to prevent the star beast from suddenly attacking the guests. And more importantly, it prevents beast masters from secretly contracting star beasts.
Interestingly, the star beasts in many cages here are not as valuable as the antique cages. But if anyone wants to buy that cage, in the eyes of the people of Giant God Valley, they are deliberately looking for trouble.
That is family wealth and industry. Just like acres and houses, they are things that cannot be sold even if you are poor.
The stronger the star beast, the stronger the confinement power of the cage used. Especially powerful adult astral beasts need to be kept in high-strength glass cabinets and put to sleep with drugs.
In fact, the most difficult things to settle are elemental constructs or those star beasts with strange characteristics. This type of star beast needs to be equipped with cages according to different star beast types. There are a lot of things to pay attention to. Some gyms have exclusive secret techniques, but they are not something you can see casually.
Of course, these are used to imprison hard-core prisoners. There are also many star beast cubs that are not that aggressive. This kind of star beast is the focus of the transaction, and it is most common for parents to choose with their children.
The Valley of the Titans is famous for the fact that the star beasts they hunt are all wild. Generally speaking, the physique and qualifications are better than those bred in artificial environments. The families who can buy star beasts here are not ordinary families.
Time has passed, and Fu Han is no longer the young boy who had trouble sleeping because he only had one stone jade beast. The star beasts under his command now, every one of them, are top-notch star beasts that can make other beast masters go crazy with jealousy.
But when I see other parents providing such good conditions for their children, I still feel envious.
…
The star beasts that appear in the star beast market are all relatively common. With Fu Han's current configuration of star beasts, he naturally couldn't generate the slightest interest, so he continued to walk deeper into the market.
This market originally had only one street, but as the number of people increased, it expanded around this street. Therefore, there is a trend here that the closer you go to the center, the more hardcore the products become. At the back, there were also star beasts that even Fu Han had to stop and take a look at.
There is an adult Titan bear lying in a huge cage, which is very eye-catching. The [Gigantization] skill that Saitama and the others are using comes from this giant bear.
There are two reasons why it attracted Fu Han's attention.
First, this kind of Titan bear has Titan blood in its body. If its bloodline information is something that Xiao Zi and Tuanzi don't have, Fu Han can use it to increase the proportion of Titan bloodline in Xiao Zi and Tuanzi.
But this is a bit difficult, because Tuanzi is actually also a Titan Bear clan. The bloodline ratio is naturally higher than that of the Titan Bear, so the possibility of reverse operation is greater.
Additionally, the titan bear was corrupted. The hair on more than half of the body has fallen out and is covered with bulges, and there is also some symptoms of skin carbonization.
The corruption of star beasts is different from the corruption of humans. The corruption of humans relies on ape decay to transform and strengthen the human body. All of this requires the support of primitive cells. It is a method used by the Corruption Sect to enslave others.
Star beasts are completely different.
Obviously, the genetic status of star beasts is unstable. Otherwise, there would be no breakthrough evolution, or even strange phenomena such as mutation evolution, special evolution, and sublimation evolution.
The corruption of human beings requires the support of primitive cells. When the primitive cells are used up, the orangutan rot will begin to surge. In fact, it is also the orangutans who are trying to survive. They force the host into a state of madness so that it can find an environment more suitable for its own survival.
If no new original cells can be found, the orangutan rot will naturally die out, and the host human will not be able to live long at this time.
This process is roughly the same for star beasts. But after the death of Orang Fu, the probability of star beasts surviving in the end is much higher than that of humans. They will also develop special evolved forms, or receive some permanent enhancements or damage.
In other words, corrupted star beasts can survive without relying on primitive cells.
For example, the star beasts in the rotten land are due to long-term ape rot pollution, and the star beasts continue to reproduce in a corrupted state. Eventually, some strange star beast races were formed that were completely adapted to the environment of the rotten land. These star beasts were often extremely vicious.
The corrupted titan bear that Fu Han saw in the market belonged to the first generation of corrupted star beasts. The corruption adaptation on its body is still continuing, and its body has begun to show some signs of strengthening!
That’s skin carbonation!
Fu Han had seen this change before in the Fufu Sect. Keira's Cyclops has carbonized skin that makes it invulnerable to water and fire. At the Temple of Disease and Rot in Yanyan City, Fu Han also saw a demon general completely carbonizing his skin.
Although under the hands of "Storm Dragon Blade" Su Lansheng, the Demon General's carbonized skin was of little use. But that’s because Su Lan’s sound is too strong, not because the carbonization is too weak.
Fu Han estimated that this Titan Bear would turn into a naked black charcoal bear before long. It will gain the very powerful defensive property of [Carbonized Skin].
Fu Han wouldn't buy a Titan Bear just for a carbonized skin. He just wanted to see if there was any way to get up close to this giant bear. On the one hand, it's to see what's going on with the bloodline, and on the other hand, it's also to see what's going on with the new orangutan rot here.
It's a pity...there is no way at all. Such a powerful star beast was naturally protected by layers of protection. Fu Han counted that there were as many as three layers of reinforced synthetic glass used to contain it.
However, it did give Fu Han enough information to at least confirm that there was a group of Titan bears in the contaminated area. And this is just an adult, there are higher-level bear kings, and the proportion of Titan blood in their bodies may be higher.
Normally, Fu Han wouldn't have the courage to approach such a powerful star beast. But in an environment polluted by orangutans, maybe we can really try it.
Thinking about it, Fu Han smiled at the star beast dealers who were eyeing him eagerly, then turned and left, heading towards the deepest part of the market.
…
Now on the street in the center of the market, what is being bought and sold is not star beasts, but information. At the same time, it is also a place where hunters recruit people.
The intelligence given to Fu Han by the spy said that Zhang Zhijing was recruiting people in that place. Fu Han was still thinking, if he applied for a job to infiltrate the enemy... would he not be favored?
However, before he had taken two steps, Fu Han suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and a strong shock was born in his heart!
From the direction of the center of the block, he gradually felt something familiar to him! After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Fu Han couldn't help but speed up his pace and rushed in that direction!
There are actually a lot of primitive cells there! ! !
