Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 729, Shadow Ice Plains

Translator: Silavin

“Right, so we can actually solve it!” Lu Fan’s ‘apologetic attitude’ was exemplary, after all, whether the Ice Crystal Beasts could stay still depended on the Two Headed Dragon’s cooperation. “Then help me ask them. If we could provide an environment similar to the Despair Ice Plains, would they be willing to stay?”

“Alright.” The Two Headed Dragon readily agreed, then once again began communicating with the Ice Crystal Beasts.

This time, the Two Headed Dragon received a response indicating that they needed to see whether the environment here was truly suitable for their survival.

So, Lu Fan had the Two Headed Dragon first cast his skills to create an area similar to the Despair Ice Plains.

For the Two Headed Dragon, this was absurdly simple.

After Lu Fan had delineated the area, he flew into the air and let out a Dragon Breath onto part of Shadow Isle.

Lu Fan was quite generous, allocating nearly three thousand acres of land for the Ice Crystal Beasts. This was more than enough for their Family of five to live comfortably.

Moreover, when the other girls’ Ice Crystal Beasts became homesick, they could also graze freely in this area during their free time.

To prevent these Ice Crystal Beasts from becoming bored, Lu Fan also threw some Red Ghost Fallen Corpse Puppets into the area, making it almost identical to the Despair Ice Plains, except for being somewhat smaller.

Furthermore, as long as the Two Headed Dragon remained present, this area’s scope could actually be expanded even further.

If Lu Fan discovered other Monsters he wanted to keep while exploring the Despair Ice Plains in future, he could capture them and place them all here.

After completing the Map’s reconstruction, Lu Fan had the Two Headed Dragon serve as translator, asking the Family how they found this living space.

The Ice Crystal Beasts demonstrated through their actions that they genuinely loved this place.

The Ice Crystal Beasts directly dove into this icy area, beginning to frolic joyfully in the snow, with Tao Xiaoman’s little Ice Crystal Beast joining them.

Here, they had no natural predators, and the climate was great, so naturally they were more inclined to stay and live here.

More importantly, they also understood that the pastries they had just eaten could probably only be found here.

Once they left, they would never again taste such delicious food.

The intelligent Ice Crystal Beasts naturally knew what to do at this point.

At this moment, Jian Ying and the others also rode their Ice Crystal Beasts over, seeing this new area that had appeared on Shadow Isle.

They had heard the commotion and sensed that Shadow Isle had undergone some changes made by the Two Headed Dragon, so they had specifically come to investigate the situation.

Upon seeing this ice and snow area, they also discovered that the Ice Crystal Beasts beneath them were interested in such a place.

Since Lu Fan was right here, the girls started questioning him. After learning what had happened, they simply let their Ice Crystal Beasts enter this new area to properly enjoy the feeling of returning to their ‘homeland’.

Lu Fan thought for a moment, then finally used his Territory Master authority to rename this area ‘Shadow Ice Plains’.

Because after the Ice Crystal Beasts entered the Shadow Ice Plains, he had already received notification that his list of Territory Monsters had increased by several counts, which was these four Ice Crystal Beasts.

[So, I was right. Even captured Monsters, as long as they are willing to stay here, can become Territory Monsters…]

However, these Monsters also had obvious differences from the original Shadow Monsters.

The original Monster on Shadow Isle would refresh in fixed numbers every day. But the Ice Crystal Beasts, Giant Dragons and other Monsters that moved in later would not refresh. Once dead, they were truly dead.

However, they could also accumulate in numbers through reproduction.

For example, Giant Dragons could be nurtured by the Life Dragon King in the form of Life Fruits, and Ice Crystal Beasts could also reproduce through these two adult Ice Crystal Beasts.

Lu Fan believes that if he captured several more Ice Crystal Beasts and bred them properly, very soon there would likely be a quite substantial Ice Crystal Beast population on his Shadow Isle.

When he had the opportunity later, he really would have to make several more rounds around the Despair Ice Plains.

This was also not limited to just Ice Crystal Beasts.

Lu Fan’s reason for creating a new designated area was also because he was thinking that in future, he might be able to capture an even more interesting Monster.

This included but was not limited to Monsters that enjoyed ice and snow environments. If other Monsters could also be captured here, it could greatly enrich the Monster diversity of this place.

In the future, he could divide Shadow Isle into different regions, with each region containing different Monsters. Just thinking about it was quite interesting.

After completing all this, Lu Fan was ready to return.

Before leaving, he also told Jian Ying and the others that since everyone now had Ice Crystal Beasts, he probably would not bring anymore Ice Crystal Beasts back again in the short term.

After all, his main objective was still to find the Frost Dragon Ruins, and he had already spent far too much time on the Ice Crystal Beasts.

The girls also understood that Lu Fan’s efforts were essentially just to ensure they could all each possess a powerful Mount.

These Ice Crystal Beasts actually held no meaning for Lu Fan himself.

Though everyone said nothing on the surface, they all kept Lu Fan’s actions for them in their hearts.

After thanking the Two Headed Dragon, Lu Fan used the previous Transport Array to return to the Despair Ice Plains.

He opened the Map to check the coordinates and discovered that although he had taken a considerable amount of time meandering around the Despair Ice Plains, overall, he was still continuously approaching the Frost Dragon Ruins.

He estimated that in roughly two more days, he would be able to reach the Frost Dragon Ruins.

Next, he continued as before. He would Ride on Xing Chen, then activating Dragon Language Unsealing to travel forward together with Xing Chen using her Passive Skill Starfall, harvesting Experience Points while advancing.

Although moving forward, Pack Monsters like the Red Ghosts were more scarce, the subsequent Monsters became increasingly higher in Level and Grade, so Lu Fan still harvested quite a lot of Experience Points.

Later, Lu Fan discovered that in the Despair Ice Plains, there were also Level 125 Elite Monsters called Ice Plains Worms. They resembled blue, semi-transparent worms the size of a person, usually hiding dormant beneath accumulated snow while their body surface formed a thick layer of ice crystals, providing 99% Physical Damage Resistance.

Lu Fan only discovered the existence of these Monsters in the accumulated snow after the bombardment from Starfall. Simultaneously, he discovered that these Monsters were quite numerous. Beneath the accumulated snow, there were Ice Plains Worms everywhere.

However, Xing Chen’s Skills dealt Physical Damage. With 99% Physical Damage Resistance, Starfall was not enough to kill them. So, Lu Fan gained no Experience Points from them.
