When Li Mo decided to choose the Candle Dragon as the main Tattooed Beast, he turned the desolate newborn sub-peak of Corpse Mountain into a breeding ground.
The sub-peak was divided into two zones.
Below the mountainside, all kinds of snakes yet to undergo their transformation into Deceit Beasts roamed.
The most common were venomous snakes, while others included pythons and occasionally forest anacondas, each ranging up to tens of meters in length.
Every half day, Li Mo transported abundant prey into the sub-peak, letting the snakes feast, while strong individuals were fed Evergreen Tree Fruit.
To ensure that no Evergreen Tree Fruit was wasted, he deliberately paired it with Corpse Wine.
He aimed to maintain a transformation rate into Deceit Beasts of roughly thirty percent; otherwise, the consumption of Evergreen Tree Fruit would far exceed supply.
The area where the Deceit Beasts resided was at the summit of the sub-peak, a chaotic scene filled with monstrous activity.
