Seeing countless corpses of Gold-eating Insects falling, the Monkey Avatars flew into a rage, swinging their sticks and beating the silver metallic mantis to death.
The metallic mantis was smashed into fragments, and a large group of excited Gold-eating Insects circled around the Monkey Avatars non-stop, then transformed into a golden mist to lift the Monkey Avatars back to the System Space.
Qin Shou chuckled and then recalled Rein Jia’er and Kazek to the System Space.
Although the invisibility abilities of these two monsters were decent, on this planet, they were easily detected by other monsters and could no longer serve a reconnaissance role.
Unless he could acquire a Third-level Invisibility Device.
For now, however, when synthesizing Nightmare-level Monsters, he hadn’t obtained the reward of a Third-level Invisibility Device.
Better rely on himself!
Leaping onto the back of the Greedy Snake, Qin Shou continued toward the direction of Morlo Kingdom.
Evening, the edge of the Silver Forest.
The sky was growing dark, but Qin Shou remained as full of vigor as ever.
Having eaten Shangfu Bird Meat, his energy was surging to the point that even half a month without sleep wouldn’t faze him.
Qin Shou stroked the hard golden scales on the back of the Greedy Snake, pondering how to synthesize a Perfect Mount.
Without being able to use the Transmission Array, it’d be best to travel while combining it with some vacationing... ahem, meditating and training.
Youth is fleeting—one must work hard while still young, or regret it later as an elder.
Traveling with synthetic monsters offered absolutely no comfort.
Suddenly, as if struck by inspiration, Qin Shou summoned the System Interface.
[White Jade Snail]+[Giant Dragon]+[Flower God]+[Third-level Anti-gravity Device]
Last time when he achieved first place on Dragon Island, Yu Shusheng had gifted him a sample of Flower God Genes, which he had only now recalled.
White Jade Snails are enormous in size, herbivorous, and gentle in temperament. They never proactively attack any creatures.
However, if starved, even White Jade Snails may include weaker organisms in their diet.
Synthesizing it into a Nightmare-level Monster — as long as it’s well-fed, there wouldn’t be any risk of it turning on him.
Integrating Flower God Genes would allow the snail’s shell to hold a massive space suitable for human habitation—a perfect spot to place a Capsule Apartment and enjoy life.
As for adding the Giant Dragon Genes... heh-heh. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovelHub(.)net
Adjusting the monster model...
"Ding, consumed 109,000 Synthesis Points, synthesized a Nightmare One Star Monster."
Named: Strongest Snail, Giant Dragon Form!
Similarity: 48%, rewarded 4,000 Synthesis Points, and a Level 3 Laser Beam Device x1.
With the synthesis complete, Qin Shou waved his hand to open the Space Gate.
In an instant, a massive creature over sixty meters long materialized before Qin Shou, exuding a steady and majestic aura, which made Qin Shou nod in satisfaction.
What appeared in front of him was a monster shining with a jade-like luster, whose body resembled a giant dragon, with enormous wings on its back and two pairs of sharp claws on its abdomen.
Yet, oddly enough, the dragon bore a snail shell on its back, its head resembled a snail’s, and its eyes were perched atop its antennae, blinking at Qin Shou without the slightest hint of dragon-like ferocity.
Qin Shou gently patted its head and laughed, "You’ll be my first true mount, so let’s give you a proper name."
"Hmm, as a fusion of a dragon and snail... Snai... Dragon... Hmm, how about ’Snail Dragon’?
No, this name might be unique, but it reeks of rusticity and lack of sophistication—it’s not grand enough to match my status as Qin Shou...
Then let’s call you... Wo Long!
This name is quite popular; I can ride on the wave of its fame. You should get plenty of spotlight in future scenes...
No wait, using this name as a mount’s name might invite criticism..."
Qin Shou rambled on for ages, not sure if the creature understood him.
But as soon as it appeared, the creature chirped and chattered at him, most likely hungry.
Not wanting to be mistaken for food himself, Qin Shou generously pulled out a thousand Earth Core Energy Crystals and offered them to the creature’s mouth.
The enormous creature squinted its large eyes atop the antennae in delight, inhaled the Earth Core Energy Crystals in one gulp, and began chewing slowly.
Fixing an invisibility camera onto the snail shell, Qin Shou patted the shell, and the creature nodded. The snail shell rippled, pulling Qin Shou into the Snail Space.
Within was an expansive semi-spherical space with a diameter of over a thousand meters.
On the floor, which shimmered like white jade, Qin Shou set up his Capsule Apartment and entered the room. He connected its Intelligent System to the external camera to monitor the outside situation at all times, while also letting the Intelligent System guide the creature.
The creature’s body radiated a crystalline energy, its massive wings lightly flapping as it covered a distance of hundreds of meters—much faster than the Greedy Snake.
Hmm, comfort is what’s most important.
Relaxing in the Capsule Apartment, Qin Shou released Big Big Wolf and Red Tai Lang, ordering them to go cook.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Zhi Yin Fish transformed its tail into human legs and eagerly ran behind Qin Shou to massage his shoulders and back.
"Ah... Now this is the life."
With his eyes half-closed, Qin Shou wore a look of utter contentment.
Flying past the edge of the Silver Forest, the scene shifted into a vast and desolate desert.
In the blackness of night, the colossal creature’s figure swept across the sky. Creatures within the desert roared and howled at it, scaring it into immediately retracting its radiant energy, blending into the shadows.
Though these creatures may not necessarily be capable of defeating it, its innate cowardice drove its irrational fear.
Suddenly, in the darkness, several massive silhouettes burst forth from the sandy ground. The sound of wings vibrating shattered the night’s stillness, as numerous shadows flew straight toward the creature.
Terrified, the creature let out panicked cries and—before Qin Shou could intervene—its dragon-like body abruptly retracted into the snail shell, leaving the shell hovering alone in midair.
