79: Worm Wasteland - Taming the Great Emperor Moth (Part 3)

What kind of Great Fluttering Moth could there be in the Wasteland? Of course, it's the Great Emperor Moth!

Tang Ping immediately headed there. There was no particular reason; he just wanted to try and see if he could domesticate one to use as a flying mount.

The Great Emperor Moth was an extremely famous Pollution Beast in later generations. Not only was its potential extraordinary, but it also looked completely different from the ugliness of other Pollution Beasts. Instead, it was stunningly beautiful, naturally possessing an aura of nobility and royalty.

"Is it around here that you saw that Great Fluttering Moth?" Tang Ping stood on a cliff.

The cliff wasn't high, only about two hundred meters, and below it was a strange rock forest.

"Yes." Qi Jun's eyes showed fear as he pointed to a giant peak pillar in the distance. "At that time, that Great Fluttering Moth was perched there, its wings spread almost ten meters wide. Just then, a few people, after entering the dungeon, landed there. That Great Fluttering Moth merely flapped its wings once, and those few people instantly exploded into a bloody mist!"

"That's the Great Emperor Moth's Talent, A-rank Royal Might. It possesses extremely powerful oppressive force, which can make weaker beings feel subservient, or even directly enslave them! Moreover, its attack is also extremely powerful; under its pressure, even steel would shatter." Tang Ping's gaze was also somewhat solemn.

Although the Great Emperor Moth's Talent was only A-rank, it was definitely a top-tier Talent within A-rank. Coupled with the fact that Great Emperor Moths emerge from their cocoons at a minimum of Level 3, their strength should not be underestimated.

What's more, this thing can fly.

"Old Wu, let's part ways here. That Great Emperor Moth is remarkably strong and can fly. I might not be able to look after you all. When the dungeon ends, you can just return directly."

The main reason was that Tang Ping intended to subdue it. If he were planning to kill it, bringing the three of them would naturally not be an issue.

"What about Uncle Xiao Tang?" Wu Zhenhai asked.

"I still have some things to do and need to stay here. We will meet again in the future."

"Alright, Uncle Xiao Tang, take care." Wu Zhenhai nodded.

The three parted ways with Tang Ping.

And Tang Ping also entered the strange rock forest, searching for the Great Emperor Moth.

Great Emperor Moths generally have a very strong sense of territory, so they won't easily leave. If it's not there, it's most likely out hunting.

Tang Ping simply climbed onto that giant peak pillar and waited for its return.

Seizing this opportunity, he took out his treasure chests.

A total of twenty-five treasure chests.

Besides the previous seventeen, some were spoils of war, and a few were picked up along the way.

He opened them all in one go.

Congratulations, player, for opening a doomsday treasure chest and obtaining bread +10, mineral water +10!

"Out of 25 treasure chests, 10 yielded extraordinary items. The probability is quite a bit higher than thirty percent, and the item quality is much better."

Tang Ping checked the experience stones. Compared to others, whose experience stones were mostly F-rank and E-rank, his contained the most a-rank experience stones, with 25 of them. There were 20 other experience stones of lower rank than his Talent.

The best item was a C-rank blade! It was also a Tang Blade type!

For such a good item to drop from 25 doomsday treasure chests, and for it to be the type of weapon he uses, he didn't believe for a second that it wasn't influenced by his Vow Emblem.

The experience stones were all stored in the Shelter. He didn't use the A-rank ones, intending to save them for later generations.

As for the blade, he swapped it for the newly acquired C-rank extraordinary weapon, the Profound Blade.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a pressure descended upon Tang Ping, making his bones creak.

He squinted his eyes, looked up, and indeed saw a giant Great Fluttering Moth flying towards him!

The Great Fluttering Moth's wings were crimson-gold, with an outer circle of dark purple. Inside, there were layers of blood-colored wavy stripes, finally forming a blood-colored eye pattern at the center of the four wings. The pupil of the eye was bright gold, carrying an air of majesty.

On its head, it also had horn-like growths resembling a crown, and two antennae like crown plumes hanging from a crown.

"I finally waited for you." Tang Ping endured the Great Emperor Moth's Royal Might and met its gaze.

Being able to withstand the opponent's Royal Might would greatly help in taming the Great Emperor Moth.

In the sky, the Great Emperor Moth's eyes showed confusion, as if wondering why such a small bug hadn't exploded into a bloody mist for it to feed on.

One minute later, the Great Emperor Moth continued to release its Royal Might.

Five minutes later, the Great Emperor Moth intensified its Royal Might.

Ten minutes later, the Royal Might reached its strongest!

At this point, tiny traces of blood had seeped from Tang Ping's pores, but under the continuous drops of S-rank Life Potion, he had not suffered any substantial damage.

Thirty minutes later, the Great Emperor Moth seemed to be unable to endure it any longer, feeling the urge to retreat, and a hint of panic clearly appeared in its eyes.

Because in the Great Emperor Moth's perception, ignoring its Talent ability meant it was a stronger existence than itself!

Although the Great Emperor Moth's Talent was Royal Might, its nature was incredibly cautious. It would not easily reside on the ground, and when hunting, it would not approach its prey. Instead, it would unleash its Royal Might from mid-air, directly crushing its prey into a bloody mist, and then feed on it. It rarely hunted in close combat.

Once the prey was not crushed into a bloody mist, the Great Emperor Moth would leave and search for new prey.

However, Tang Ping was currently in the Great Emperor Moth's nest, which was why the Great Emperor Moth had not chosen to leave sooner.

But after half an hour, the Great Emperor Moth seemed to realize that this two-legged little bug...

was very strong.

Buzz! The Great Emperor Moth's wings trembled, wanting to leave. As long as there's life, there's hope. Losing its territory didn't matter; it could just choose a new one.

"Trying to leave? Too late."

Seeing that he had finally outlasted the Great Emperor Moth, Tang Ping immediately smiled, and the aura of his SS-Rank Talent erupted like a mountain torrent and tsunami!

The Royal Might that the Great Emperor Moth had not yet retracted shattered instantly like invisible glass!

Screech!!!

A sharp screech rang out from its mouthparts, and the Great Emperor Moth flapped its wings in panic!

"Get down, now!"

The Soul Shattering Nail, imbued with the properties of the Red Lotus Demonic Flame, pierced directly towards the Great Emperor Moth's mind!
