Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 79: 69 Riding a Tiger, Hard to Dismount - Part 2

In the time it had grasped, Tao Yu lunged in the form of a tiger, with a roar and Fist Intention slamming into one of the aliens, dazing it in an instant.

Then with a leverage, another bulk, like a giant bear, rammed into another alien.

After the punch's impact caused rigidity, he smoothly drew out the Giant Lizard's Fang and stabbed into the alien's vital spot, striking and then retreating quickly.

He then returned to the first alien that had just recovered from the shock and pinned it to the ground.

"Go get the backpack from the vehicle, be careful not to get blood on it,"

Tao Yu instructed.

Little Black, who was busy sealing its wounds with saliva, limped over to the motorcycle, and carefully hooked the backpack full of canned food with its tail before bringing it over.

"I'll give you a companion."

Having the experience of subduing Little Black earlier, he expected this round of consumption to be lower.

Because of the working mechanism of the Taming Technique, maintaining it consumes a significant amount, which meant creating a large army would greatly drain Tao Yu and be too much to manage.

But taming a few more cannon fodder in a short period was still achievable!

...

At the edge of the rainforest, the roots of the giant trees were exposed on the ten-plus-meter-high demarcation side, intertwining with each other and mixed with soil, bringing a scent of earthiness.

In the area wrapped by the tree roots, a profound passage had been dug out between the gaps of the roots, which seemed to fortify the tunnel.

The mouth of the cave extended inward, where one could see a sticky substance smeared along the sides, solidifying into a white substance similar to spiderwebs.

Going deeper inside revealed a natural cavern.

At this moment, the cavern was lit up by several large searchlights, illuminating the entire space.

One could see that nearby there were numerous grotesque eggs densely packed together.

An Alien Queen, six to seven meters in size, was connected to an incubator, receiving feedings from a rotation of aliens.

The food was mostly creatures from the rainforest and even included half a zombie.

The Alien Queen, using her auxiliary hands for feeding, gnawed voraciously at these bloodied meals, appearing quite brutal.

Besides that, there were several cocoon-like structures within this hatchery, enveloped in that solidified sticky substance.

"Roar~"

One alien, having finished feeding the queen, suddenly let out a fierce roar toward the three people standing off to the side, its claws scratching the ground, expressing an eagerness to attack.

But with a reprimand from the queen, it ultimately backed down and quickly ran out of the tunnel.

"Fei, we've got trouble, these creatures are so hard to control,"

A-Tu, with taming skills and a half-mechanically modified body, looked somewhat troubled.

With the Alien Queen under control, they'd thought it would be easy to solve the problems; they even used Yuan Force to accelerate her breeding.

The hatching also speeded up.

But now, as the alien population expanded, they started feeling a growing sense of unease in controlling them!

At first, the aliens were very docile, showing no signs of rebellion, more obedient than well-trained dogs, rolling over on command, sitting when told.

They believed they had found the method of cultivation, far more efficient than training aliens individually before.

However, as the juvenile aliens grew at an incredible rate, shedding their skin and becoming larger, and as their numbers increased, things started to feel off...

Now, none of the three dared to leave the queen's side, fearing an alien ambush. Moreover, staying here was also a sufficient deterrent to the unruly queen.

They dreaded the aliens mainly for their numbers and that self-destructive acid.

It was just about killing the Empress alone; with their combined strength, they had plenty to spare!

That's why, at this point, both sides were maintaining a delicate balance.

"It seems I was somewhat negligent. These creatures are indeed cunning, and notoriously untamed, always ready to rebel at the chance. We've been fooled," he said.

Fei Ge was looking at the new data he had acquired, his face somewhat grim.

He felt like a fool now, remembering how he had excitedly announced that he had found an efficient taming method and accepted the adulation of his companions.

Now, as he was recording, he turned to A-Tu and said,

"How much of that drug do you have left? How long will it last if we use it all on the Empress?"

"There's still some left, enough for half a month. But if we go back and then come here again, five days would probably be enough to let things spiral out of control. We can only take turns going back and bringing more drugs here," replied A-Tu.

A-Tu, his face pallid, pulled out an ampoule from his bosom as he looked at the increasingly irritable Empress.

The formerly restless Empress, who had been screeching, seemed much more docile at the sight of A-Tu's ampoule, emitting only some urging low growls.

Approaching the Alien Queen, A-Tu didn't bother to open the ampoule and just threw it over to her. She swallowed it whole and seemed entirely satisfied.

The ovipositor behind her laid another new alien egg.

"This won't work. Taming must involve both carrot and stick; punishment is essential, but the Empress is too sensitive. If I attack her, it would immediately provoke an attack from the guards nearby," he said.

Even though the Empress had been pacified, A-Tu didn't look pleased.

He possessed a Yuan Force-based taming skill.

He knew all too well that simply dangling sweets in front of someone would inevitably lead to a loss of control over time!

However, the Empress's importance to the aliens meant they would always leave three or four to guard the nest, no matter what.

Compared to the three of them, three or four aliens were no threat, but if more aliens returned and noticed something amiss, it could trigger an unending series of attacks.

There were plenty of aliens outside already!

This was a vicious cycle...

"What do we do? Our strength is indeed sufficient against a small number of these creatures, but if their numbers increase, they could overwhelm us with sheer mass, and in this environment, it's difficult to find help..." said Xiaomei, the sweet-faced girl, looking rather distressed.

They thought they had taken on an easy job, and everything had gone smoothly up until now, but they hadn't expected chaos to erupt here.

Now, anyone coming to help would surely be attacked by the aliens, and if the three of them left this place, they probably would too.

Perhaps they could break out while the aliens were out hunting.

But by doing so, they'd truly lose the precious Alien Queen!

"According to A-Tu, we have to take turns going back first to get more drugs. If that doesn't work out, we'll just have to go back and ask for help from the two adults. We've been quite useful during the early stage, and with the Alien Queen here, they might personally come over..." suggested Fei Ge with a sigh.

The bigwigs in the Floating City undoubtedly had communication items that worked like modern instant messaging. Given the number of Inner City Pioneers in the new development zone, they were eligible to request contact.

But by doing so, even if they were ultimately rescued, a cap of incompetence would surely be placed firmly on their heads!

However, compared to suffering a complete loss of the Alien Queen and a disgraceful escape,

It was better to wait here, gather more materials and information, and then call for help.

If they could accumulate enough intelligence and taming experience, perhaps they could make up for the trouble...
