Chapter 420: Chapter 249: Calling a Dog a Deer_2

"Brother Lu, an acquaintance of yours??" Shi Ze asked from the side.

"We met briefly during registration yesterday," Lu Ran replied.

"Oh, they’re actually with the Yang Family people, and they’ve been brought here as well. It seems that the other party has a background as complex as yours, Brother Lu..." Shi Ze was quite surprised.

"Normal," Lu Ran casually shifted his gaze away.

Meanwhile, over there.

The woman in the floral dress also unexpectedly spoke up, "Is he an acquaintance of yours? A Beast Trainer?"

Yu Rui shook his head, withdrawing his gaze, and said, "Not exactly, but he’s likely a very dangerous fellow. We need to be cautious of him during the competition."

Indeed dangerous!

Jiang Ming and Liu Man had never anticipated that Lu Ran would so brazenly wave and greet them; it seemed he harbored no fear concerning their identities as people from another world.

Such a person is either incredibly naive or extremely dangerous.

Although they had encountered each other, none of the four had any intention to chat. After some brief preparation, they each entered the Forest of Death, choosing different paths to proceed.

......

Inside the Forest of Death.

The ferocious plants transplanted here become more dangerous the deeper one goes.

Along the way, under Shi Ze’s guidance, Lu Ran saw many ordinary ferocious plants that, if awakened, could possibly be of extraordinary race or Dominator Species level. Naturally, these levels hardly concerned him.

The kind of plant he wanted to find for Fang Lan had to at least be of the same level as Sword Grass.

"Brother Shi, take me to see the Dragon Blood Willow Tree," Lu Ran said. Though he wasn’t familiar with poisons, he knew quite a bit about dragons, so his first target was the Dragon Blood Willow Tree.

If the thing could awaken, it would be nice to have it as an affiliation for King of Sudden Death, since it could grow rapidly just on the blood King of Sudden Death shed regularly. Plus, it was supposedly easy to cultivate.

However, unfortunately, its compatibility with King of Sudden Death wasn’t great, making it difficult to work together in combat.

"Brother Lu, you’re really bold."

"Why don’t you summon the Dog Beast to protect yourself?"

"Just relying on me to scout ahead is giving me so much pressure."

At this moment, Shi Ze, with the Swallowing Moon Dog leading the way, was scouting ahead, while Lu Ran followed behind as if he were out for a leisurely stroll, enjoying the scenery.

This caused Shi Ze’s mouth to twitch. Was Lu Ran truly unafraid of any unexpected dangers?

"You don’t understand," Lu Ran said. "Summoning it would make things more dangerous than not."

Given Mr. Husky’s ridiculous initiative, Lu Ran reckoned that summoning him to scout would multiply the dangers they encountered.

Not only was the creature tactless with its hands, it also had a reckless mouth. During the beginner’s Trial Secret Realm, it even wanted to eat poisonous mushrooms.

Several months had passed, and it hadn’t really corrected its behavior.

Instead, as it went through Fusion with the Absolute Comprehension Attribute, Mr. Husky’s comprehension improved, but its intelligence likely dropped significantly.

After all, when its intelligence was higher, Mr. Husky knew that the Deer Horn of God was not a sword. But now, everything is sword, sword, sword.

Intelligence was sacrificed in exchange for comprehension and combat power.

Lu Ran wasn’t particularly worried about encountering danger because he himself, at full power, was not much weaker in combat than evil beasts. His physical quality obtained through Super Beast Mimicry, coupled with the boost from Flame Spirit, meant he could completely pass as a Fire Attribute Evil Beast.

He was a natural predator of these plants.

"What do you mean by that??" Shi Ze was puzzled. More dangerous to summon than not to summon?

Lu Ran smiled and looked at him, saying, "Because it tends to seek death... Well, let’s summon it after all. There shouldn’t be any major problems as long as we keep an eye on it."

"It’s the perfect opportunity to test an ability."

As he spoke, Lu Ran summoned Mr. Husky, planning to have it initiate its Sword Field to see if he could control these ferocious plants.

It was also a rehearsal for the upcoming preliminary matches.

"Woof~~~~" Meanwhile, with Mr. Husky summoned by Lu Ran, it looked around sharply.

"Ability, what ability?" Shi Ze asked curiously.

"Controlling ferocious plants," Lu Ran said.

"For real? Brother Lu, I’m not well-read, so don’t play me," Shi Ze was skeptical.

Battling while holding sword grass was one thing, but a Wind and Snow Dog Beast controlling ferocious plants?

That sounded far-fetched.

It indeed seemed like courting death.

"Mr. Husky, try it out and see if you can control these ferocious plants," Lu Ran said.

Lu Ran pointed ahead where dormant "Bean Shooters" resided; these ferocious plants varied in attribute, some spitting out frost projectiles, others spitting thunder and lightning projectiles. Although they weren’t considered powerful creatures, their vast numbers and grouping together certainly caused headaches.

"Woof!!"

Mr. Husky, indifferent, was about to activate the Unrestricted Sword Domain to envelop these ferocious plants and transform them into plant swords. However, he suddenly had an epiphany.

Was it necessary to use the Sword Domain to control these unintelligent plants? Wouldn’t that be a waste of energy?

Using a sledgehammer to crack nuts!

It looked enlightened as it suddenly felt that even without the Sword Domain’s power, it could control these ferocious plants.

Divine Deer!

A single broken deer antler from the Divine Deer could convert the natural force of plants into vital energy, demonstrating immense control over nature.

If it just cosplayed the Divine Deer for a bit, wouldn’t these plants obediently comply?

"Huff huff~" Mr. Husky panted, a gleam of wisdom in its eyes, feeling very clever.

Thinking this, antlers began to rapidly take shape through Energy Shaping atop Mr. Husky’s head.

[I am the deer I am the deer I am the deer...]

Shi Ze, Lu Ran: ??

Shi Ze said in astonishment, "Brother Lu, what does this mean?"

"You’re asking me?" Lu Ran looked speechlessly at Mr. Husky. I told you to open the Unrestricted Sword Domain, and you’re cosplaying as a Divine Deer instead?

Even if...

Lu Ran was about to mumble in his mind that perhaps the Divine Deer might be a Divine Beast that wielded power over plant life, but you’re a dog, your cosplay doesn’t even look slightly convincing...

However, before Lu Ran could finish his thought, Mr. Husky, now with antlers, suddenly radiated a special aura. That aura was indistinguishable from the Deer Horn of God, with brilliant gold-green light enveloping Mr. Husky. Under the glow, its original canine form became obscured, outlining a shape akin to a true Divine Deer...

"Holy shit, it’s a deer-dog," Shi Ze exclaimed in shock.

Lu Ran’s brain short-circuited. Biological Mood Shaping?

You’ve got to be kidding me.

How could you have grasped this?

Could this be because Mr. Husky had been using the Deer Horn of God for years and had also fused with the Absolute Comprehension Attribute?

Damn, Lu Ran was still slightly stunned, he was wrong; the Absolute Comprehension Attribute indeed suited Mr. Husky better!

Meanwhile, as Mr. Husky used Biological Mood Shaping to sprout antlers and adopt the deer-dog stance, countless ferocious plants around it truly began swaying. It seemed as if they sensed some great power. Despite their lack of spirit intelligence, they exhibited a posture of submission and even seemed eager to offer their strength!

Next to him, Shi Ze and the Swallowing Moon Dog opened their mouths wide, unclear on what was happening before them.

In other parts of the Forest of Death, most of the ferocious plants also violently shook.

Beyond that, Yu Rui and his party, who were navigating through the forest, suddenly turned pale as if facing a formidable enemy.

"What’s going on?!" It wasn’t just the ferocious plants that reacted; even the lower level Overlord War Ancient Trees accompanying Yu Rui also trembled all over, as if feeling some terrifying pressure, involuntarily submitting towards a certain direction.

These ferocious plants were like lower-ranking races encountering a higher life form, instantly losing control of their behavior.

The forest riot.

At the same time, in the City Lord’s Mansion.

In a cultivation chamber, a white-haired old woman also abruptly opened her eyes, looking towards the Forest of Death in surprise.

"What... happened to those ferocious plants?"
