Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2616 - Role-Playing

Chapter 2616 - Role-Playing

As Tianming immersed himself in the formidable sword intent of Imperator Carillon, countless invisible c.o.c.kroaches drifted about in the boundless starry sky outside the Sun.

Even they required a supply of nova source. Normally, the consumption of the tiny, invisible creatures could be replenished by faintly dispersed nova source. However, for safety's sake, Tianming had used the cloaking formation to completely seal off the power of the sun. As a result, Yin Chen’s activity range was somewhat restricted. Some of it even had to return to the vicinity of the Sun to replenish their strength.

It indicated that even for Primordial Chaos Beasts like Yin Chen, the boundless astralscape was still akin to a deadly ocean. A divine astrals.h.i.+p was like a s.h.i.+p, a small world was like an island, and large worlds, such as ether-cla.s.s or infinitum-cla.s.s stars, were like continents. Currently, the Sun was a small continent that Yin Chen floated nearby.

It was tireless, and with its two tiny black-dot eyes, it perpetually watched and watched. s.p.a.ce was beautiful, but with time, it became monotonous. Thus, it found its own entertainment and organized a group of insects to play with itself!

Its style of play was quite something. For example, it gathered a group of little metallic c.o.c.kroaches, stacked them together to form a fighting arena, and surrounded them with a group of cheering c.o.c.kroach spectators. Two metallic c.o.c.kroaches stood in the arena, ready to fight for life and death!

In other words, it played all the roles itself!

It organized a lively one-on-one battle, with both sides, the arena, and the various spectators being itself. What was even more amazing was that it conducted it all in an orderly and coherent manner. It even referenced the rules of the arena battles Tianming had partic.i.p.ated in.

And it didn’t stop there. There were also c.o.c.kroaches getting married, groups of c.o.c.kroaches launching a war, and even a love story transcending species between c.o.c.kroaches and locusts.

There was every kind of separation—life and death, love and hatred. But every character was Yin Chen! Once Tianming discovered that it could play like that, both he and its siblings were stunned. No wonder it could roam in s.p.a.ce without feeling lonely.

For instance, at the moment, there were two little silver c.o.c.kroaches. Hand in hand, they affectionately gazed at each other, currently about to elope after a family dispute. Their lines were all in place.

Male c.o.c.kroach: "My Ling'er! No matter... how far... we go... I will...love you... for eternity."

Female c.o.c.kroach: "Big brother! I will... never waver!”

Moved by the moment, they shed mercury-like tears and embraced each other, entangled in love.

At the moment when the two metallic c.o.c.kroaches were in the midst of a pa.s.sionate embrace, suddenly, their little antennae trembled a few times and they looked toward the distance. They stealthily concealed themselves and drifted slowly forward. Ahead in their line of sight, there lay a pitch-black creature on the stony fragments. When it was huddled up, it looked like a furry, skinny mouse. The 'mouse' had very small eyes, but they were a glaring crimson, indicating that it was a wildbeast. It had a distinct characteristic, which was unusually large ears. When they were spread open, they looked like two umbrellas.

At the moment, the two umbrellas were pointed directly in the direction of the Sun. The wildbeast was emitting an inaudible sound that constantly reverberated outward. Although it couldn't be heard, every time it called out, the antennae of Yin Chen would tremble. Yin Chen had clearly detected this sound.

Male c.o.c.kroach: "My Ling'er... what is... this very... ugly creature?"

Female c.o.c.kroach: "Big brother... I don't... know either. But its... appearance here... means that... there will... be an... astrals.h.i.+p nearby."

At that moment, they were still in their roles.

The location where the Sun had hidden was far from any nova source worlds. Even the small stellunar source outposts were absent. Normally, no wildbeasts would be able to come there. That could only mean that they had been brought by an astrals.h.i.+p, which used miniature nova sources to supply their daily consumption.

"Big brother... have you... stopped loving... me now?" the female c.o.c.kroach coyly asked.

"My Ling'er... this is... serious here! Let's figure... out the... origins of... this ugly... thing first. Then I'll... have a... grand battle... with you," the male c.o.c.kroach replied.

"One round? Not three... hundred rounds?" the female c.o.c.kroach protested.

"Haha no... I can't! I can’t... handle more... than one!" the male c.o.c.kroach laughed.

If Tianming knew that it was role-playing as him, and even trash-talking him, he would probably want to throw so much s.h.i.+t at it that even if it jumped into the belly of Lan Huang, it wouldn't be clean!

After they finished speaking, they finally gathered a large number of Yin Chens and increased their search range. Finally, they found two more similar wildbeasts in the distance. Furthermore, they found a completely black skypiercer-cla.s.s s.h.i.+p shaped like an eye further away.

"It's not... a mouse... but it's... a bat?"

"Ebon astrals.h.i.+p!"

An ebon astrals.h.i.+p had appeared near the Sun.... Even if it was just skypiercer-cla.s.s, it was still something! After Tianming arrived there, he had already swept through the area very thoroughly. Concealment was currently the Sun's greatest support.

"Time to... stop playing!"

"Go tell... Little Li!"

Inside the Gladean Ruins, Tianming was deeply engrossed when Yin Chen summoned him out.

"What's going on?"

Tens of thousands of silver centipedes piled up into a giant-eared bat in front of Li Tianming, then flew around him and said, "Outside Orderia... three of... these wildbeasts! And one... ebon astrals.h.i.+p! But it’s... just skypiercer... cla.s.s cla.s.s.” Yin Chen finished speaking and wildly wriggled around.

"Oh my!" Tianming had never seen such wildbeasts before, but the appearance of an ebon s.h.i.+p near the hidden Sun was a big deal! After confirming the location with Yin Chen, he quickly went to find Wudi and Lin Xiaodao. As expected, the two were still competing with Dragon p.i.s.s.

"You two strapping men, can't you do something more romantic? You're here every day drinking, and not a single woman in sight?" Tianming incredulously asked.

"Am I not a woman?" Gongyang Yan crawled up from the ground. You had to part her explosive hair to see her face. If she didn't speak, Tianming would have thought that she was a potted plant.

"You? Forget it," Tianming said.

"I'm p.i.s.sed!" Gongyang Yan was furious, but upon careful consideration, she had no argument, so she continued lying down.

Tianming glanced at the other two. Wudi had a flushed face, but was sitting up straight, while Lin Xiaodao held his green gourd, his face filled with a doting smile as he whispered sweet nothings to Xiao Nu.

If it came to being blindly in love, compared to those two, Tianming felt that he was slightly lacking.

"Stop drinking, something big happened." As soon as Tianming said that, they put down their wine cups and gourds and Tianming told them about Yin Chen’s discovery. At the same time, Yin Chen piled up together in front of them, perfectly mimicking the appearance of the dark bat.

"What’s that thing? Brought by the ebons?" Wudi scratched his head.

"I don't know! But I heard bats can also be used for making wine, and if it's at the ether cla.s.s, the effect should be even better," Lin Xiaodao said.

Lin Xiaodao didn't recognize it, so Tianming estimated that it wasn't a difficult opponent.

"It's probably a coincidence. The other party hasn't noticed us."

Yin Chen’s field of vision was quite effective. It had followed the bat quite far away to find that astrals.h.i.+p. Trade was frequent in the Infinitum Mundus, so an astrals.h.i.+p pa.s.sing by was normal.

"Gah!" Just at that moment, Gongyang Yan, who had just lain down, suddenly sprang up, wide-eyed as she stared at Yin Chen. She screamed in astonishment, "d.a.m.n, I know that thing!"
