MTL - After Cheating, I Became the Strongest Beast Master

Chapter 22 Hide and Seek

 There is an interactive icon at the bottom.

 After clicking it, only one Mizugakure is lit.

There is a line of text behind Mizuyaku: Interactive mini-game (hide-and-seek): Find the hidden beast within the specified area (area radius is energy level * 100m). More than 30% of the terrain in the hide-and-seek area must be water environment. In each round of the game, the hidden beast must be found within thirty minutes. If the search is successful, the proficiency of the beast control water concealment skill will be +1. If the beast is not found within the specified time, the proficiency of the beast will not increase.

Tip: During the game, both parties must devote themselves wholeheartedly to the game, and are not allowed to engage in any cheating or suggestive behavior. They are not allowed to play in a closed environment. No rewards will be obtained for the above behaviors.

 Ah this

 It turns out that the mini-games are really mini-games.

But are you serious about finding a beast to control? Although you said you can't cheat, but even if you don't cheat, how can a little Kalami who is only more than a month old be so thoughtful?

Come!

Chen Xing told Taotie the rules of the game, then blindfolded himself and squatted in place according to the rules of the game, giving Taotie one minute to hide.

Taotie stood in front of his master stupidly, rolling his eyes.

I don’t know why the owner wants to play with this, but I find it quite fun for some reason.

Hunted his legs and ran to the lake next to him and sank into the water.

Only one pair of eyes were exposed on the water, staring at the owner on the shore not far away.

 The body soaked in water gradually blurs, becoming one with the surrounding green water.

 Chen Xing counted eighty in his mind, taking less than a minute to prevent counting too fast.

You can see the end of the empty area at a glance. Except for some bushes a little further away, there is a quiet small lake not far away.

 The soil by the lake is a little moist, and there are some slight crawling marks on the ground. Some grass along the way has just been crushed. Follow the crawling traces of the little Taotie all the way to the lake.

 Chen Xing looked at the lake in front of him and suddenly thought of a serious question.

It should have gone into the water, so you have to go into the water to look for it?

It's easy to say where it's shallower, but what if it's deeper.

 It seems to be a bit troublesome.

 Chen Xing murmured in his heart.

Is it possible that I have to buy a diving suit myself and go into the water to find it?

This radius range is energy level * 100, now it is 6.68 energy level, this radius range is 668 meters.

 Chen Xing took a look at the vast water surface. On the other side of the lake was a dark forest. When he came here before, he could occasionally see some wild ducks and birds.

He has never been in this lake and doesn’t know the specifics, but he heard that the average depth of the lake is at least two to three meters, and the depth may be four or five meters.

The setting sun reflected the sparkling light on the lake, and Chen Xing suddenly found something strange on the water surface not far from the shore.

In other places, the water surface is ruffled, but a small area two or three meters away from the shore looks like a mosaic.

Chen Xing went back to the ground to pick up a slender branch and then turned back to the lake.

 Just knock on that mosaic!

Taotie, who was staring at Chen Xing intently, suddenly received a stick.

"profound!"

Taotie, who thought he was well hidden, was so frightened that he shivered, causing large waves to splash on the water.

 Successfully finding the Taming Beast, Water Hidden Proficiency +1.

 The skill proficiency shown on the back of the page of the stone book belonging to Taotie is +1.

 Shuiyin (1/100)

 In order to evolve a passive skill, you need to gather 100 points of proficiency, which means you need to find it a hundred times. Taotie was a little unconvinced. He felt that he was caught because of his carelessness.

 Unconvinced, it said it would play another round.

Chen Xing readily agreed. He found Taotie within three minutes of the game. It seemed that the hide-and-seek game was not that difficult.

 Soon Chen Xing knew that he was overjoyed.

Taotie, who was easily found, learned from the experience and ran further this time, lurking under the water ten meters away from the shore.

The ending was that Chen Xing searched around the lake and the shore for half an hour. Until the sun had set, there was still no sign of Taotie. Finally, Chen Xing gave up and shouted into the lake for a while, and then Taotie slowly emerged from the water. With half of its head exposed, it swam over in a hurry after hearing its owner admit defeat. After landing on the shore, it looked happy, its crocodile's snout spread wide, and its head raised high.

Looking at its sultry look, Chen Xing couldn't help but give it a light kick.

 “You really don’t let go of any water!”

Gan! Be sure to find a place with shallower water next time.

 Chen Xing looked at the cheerful Taotie at his feet, and the depression in his heart eased a little.

 Although it was only found once, it was at least happy.

I wanted to persuade him not to go to such a deep place next time and it would be difficult for him to find it, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that the rules said that there should be no cheating or hinting behavior, so he swallowed the words again.

 Forget it, what if it really takes my words to heart, and it will be in trouble every time in the future when it is very close to the shore and always decides that it cannot cheat.

It’s better not to interfere with human intervention, just let it play out on its own.

However, you can choose the venue yourself, so there is room for maneuver.

 Find a suitable hiding area for yourself so that it will be easier for you to find it next time.

And if you want to level up skill proficiency, it’s best to do it early, otherwise the higher the level, the larger the hide-and-seek area will be and the harder it will be to find.

Suddenly, a dazzling light came from the sky, and the night suddenly became brighter than day.

 The next moment there was a loud sound in my ears.

 Staggered, Chen Xing almost fell, and the ground beneath his feet shook.

Taotie moved faster than Chen Xing. He grabbed his trouser legs with his two front legs and screamed.

Chen Xing picked up Taotie and looked in the direction of the sound.

 The direction from which the light came seems to be north.

 A large number of residents ran out of the residential buildings and communities on both sides, some of them still wearing pajamas.

“The official announcement was made, saying it was not an earthquake, but a secret place in the north of Qinglong District, Jincheng.” said a bald man holding a mobile phone on the street.

“Hey, it turns out it’s just a secret realm. I thought it was an earth dragon turning over.”

 “Go home, go home.”

The residents on the street went back to their homes one after another. The secret realm was too far away from them. Basically, secret realms appeared all over the country every year, and they had long been accustomed to it.

 But some residents with other ideas did not go back, but rushed directly to the north of the city.

 At the same time, Chen Lingya, who was at home, received a text message. After reading the text message, I changed into a sweatshirt and sweatpants and hurried out.
