Chapter 448: Chapter 272 Turtle Tracks_1

Lu Ran was made to laugh by Mr. Husky.

"So being a dog isn’t satisfying enough for you anymore, huh?"

"Woof." Mr. Husky turned his head handsomely, looking up at the sky.

"Damn."

Lu Ran pondered, feeling that his authority had been challenged.

But it didn’t matter, Mr. Husky was just asking for trouble; there was no way it could outdo him.

"Keep an eye on them for me, I’m going to take a rest."

Lu Ran pursed his lips and walked over to the ice surface Mr. Husky had made. Sitting down cross-legged on the spot, the cool sensation made his body and mind soar.

Sword Spirit, Middle King, undead, ice, space tri-attribute.

Weather Spirit, Middle King, water, ice, thunder tri-attribute.

Judging from their species, both shared an equal footing. When considering attributes, Sword Spirit had an advantage. However, in terms of potential, Weather Spirit actually had a bit more.

After all, it had been contracted by Lu Ran. In time, it could enjoy the fusion attributes and a phase of evolutionary advantage that Sword Spirit, contracted by Mr. Husky, could not compare with.

So when Mr. Husky, that dumb dog, suggested a competition, Lu Ran immediately thought it had gone mad. If Mr. Husky could win, he would retire on the spot.

"However, Corpse Dog is supposed to learn Sword Intent and Sword Field from Mr. Husky, all of them major combat moves."

"Yun Bao’s role, on the other hand, is to provide support... Hmm." Lu Ran fell into thought, suddenly feeling that Mr. Husky, the little guy, did have a few tricks up his sleeve, comparing a combat pet with a support pet, right?

But the problem still wasn’t too big. Aside from its auxiliary ability, Yun Bao was also a group-attack mage.

And a high-frequency damage elemental mage at that.

Yun Bao had amazing talent, especially in terms of energy flow technique. Without much training, it had naturally advanced into the second stage, which might have something to do with it being an elemental being.

This suggested that, in the future, its skill casting speed would be the fastest within Lu Ran’s team.

This talent, combined with various group-attack weather skills, undoubtedly meant it could also be a firepower battery, able to throw out one skill after another, overpowering the opponent with sheer force.

...

During his rest, Lu Ran sorted out his backpack and then took out a bottle of silver blood.

[Name]: Rhinoceros Blood

[Level]: Rare

[Introduction]: Blood of the Golden Horn Rhino, effects include increasing the sharpness of metals.

Well, this awakening material was provided by the Jiancao Family. To be honest, that family is so mysterious, and they keep the types of blood they use a secret.

Little did they know, the very moment he received the gift, Lu Ran knew where this blood had come from, which evil beast it had fallen from.

The Data Eye doesn’t mess around with fanciful stuff.

After acquiring the awakening resource, Lu Ran did some investigation and found that the Golden Horn Rhino was a nearly extinct rare evil beast, with very few in number.

Although the environment for Jiancao’s growth overlapped with that of the Golden Horn Rhino’s habitat, it was still quite difficult for the non-spirit-intellect Jiancao to happen to sever the Golden Horn Rhino.

The few chances were that the dim-witted Rhino mistook the Jiancao for food and then got its tongue cut off.

On the Divine Tree Continent, despite the near extinction of the Golden Horn Rhino, it seems like the Jiancao Family should have a certain number in captivity to ensure the successful awakening of their Jiancao’s spirit wisdom.

"Three enhancement cards, one of which should be saved for this bottle of blood to awaken Jiancao."

"However, there’s no rush on this; it can be used to strengthen resources suitable for Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death first, to boost to level 40."

"After all, it won’t take long before another three enhancement cards come in."

The goal for Lu Ran’s return was to raise both Mr. Husky and King of Sudden Death to level 40, then re-enter the Breakthrough Secret Realm.

As for Yun Bao, Lu Ran also aimed to nurture it to a higher growth level, but for species level, he didn’t plan to rush its fusion with the third attribute until the cooldown of the Evolutionary Secret Realm was over.

By then, it would just need to fuse a second attribute or awaken a new attribute; for evolution, it would be better to wait for the Evolutionary Secret Realm to reopen.

"If there’s time later, I’ll exchange the useless resources for crystal coins, and use all the remaining crystal coins to cultivate ordinary crows. Let’s see how high we can get the Crow Swarm’s level in the end."

"As for the leveling resources for Mr. Husky and the others, we’ll use enhancement cards to complete that..."

"Just don’t know when Fang Lan will come out to choose her ferocious plants. She entered the Secret Realm two days after me. Hopefully, she hasn’t had an accident in there..."

While Lu Ran was arranging the resources, suddenly, from afar, a faint dragon might came through. This dragon might wasn’t as pure as King of Sudden Deaths’, but in terms of intensity, it was not comparable to King of Sudden Death’s deterrence.

The sea’s surface glittered green as Lu Ran stood up from the ice layer and looked towards the horizon. In a moment, a massive Divine Dragon appeared, bursting out from the sea amidst countless shimmering droplets of water, soaring into the sky, then circling amidst the clouds and slowly poking out its head.

Atop the giant head of the Divine Dragon, a woman with wet hair wearing a black skintight wetsuit that perfectly outlines her sexy figure took off her glasses, flicked the water droplets from her hair, and with a smile, she said from the air:

"It’s been over a month since we last saw each other, student Xiao Lu."

"Doctor Gu, you’ve arrived quickly," Lu Ran said, looking up. "Oh, it finally reached level 60, huh."

Lu Ran carefully observed the Sea Blue Dragon and found that its Growth Level had already reached Level 60.

"Roar!!!" The majestic head of the Sea Blue Dragon showed a pleasing expression, without any of the dignity expected of a divine dragon, mainly because it knew that Lu Ran was an excellent chef specializing in dragon cuisine.

"Yes," Gu Qingyi said with a tinge of regret, "Unfortunately, it’s the only one that has reached Level 60 so far. The other two that can team up with it are still a bit behind in levels."

"We still have a year’s time, which should be enough," Lu Ran said. "On the Star-Moon Federation side, resources are very scarce, but here, as a large number of Beast Trainers climb the Overlord Divine Pet List, suitable World’s Rare Resources will keep coming. Leveling up should be relatively easier now."

"Practicing swimming, huh?" Gu Qingyi stroked her clean chin, sizing up Lu Ran in his swimsuit. She smiled more brightly at his reasonably robust figure, making Lu Ran hurriedly don a Necromancy Saint Robe out of embarrassment.

"Cough, give me one more day," Lu Ran coughed dryly, his face slightly red, "I’ll be able to adapt to underwater activities very soon."

"Actually, I can manage on my own," Gu Qingyi said helplessly. "You might be capable of surviving underwater by leveraging Super Beast Mimicry to obtain the Water Attribute of a pet beast, but if you get involved in a fight, it could still be dangerous."

"Currently, in most parts of the deep sea, the spatial magnetic fields are chaotic, making Teleportation to Infinite City to escape quite troublesome."

"Mainly, it’s because of that turtle I told you about on the phone earlier. It was captured by the Fishman Empire before, and now that the Fishman Empire is at war with the Dragon Palace, I’m worried about it," Lu Ran said with equal helplessness.

"I’m thinking of taking the opportunity to look for it."

"The ocean is vast," Gu Qingyi remarked. "Searching for one creature is as hard as reaching heaven."

"We’ll just search slowly. The Dark Crow is working hard right now." Lu Ran looked in the direction of the Green Sea. For an average Beast Trainer, it was indeed difficult to find a creature in the deep sea, but it was different for him...

The Dark Crow could use the Eye of the Evil God to gaze directly into the depths of the sea, to the far side of the ocean.

Even though this process was a bit harsh on the eyes, they had the Deer Horn of God to heal them, so it was considered part of training.

If he could just pin down the Xuan Turtle’s location, with Lu Ran’s current strength, he should be able to retrieve it. Additionally, he should be able to ensure that it wouldn’t get captured again. Having the turtle drift around outside for so long, Lu Ran still felt a bit guilty.

"Alright, I’ll help you when the time comes," Gu Qingyi said, seeing how resolute Lu Ran was, and stopped insisting. "Are you going to continue training? My precious pet beasts have specifically come with empty stomachs..."

"Let’s go, let’s go back," Lu Ran quickly said.

...

Soon, Lu Ran and his group had returned home.

Lu Ran planned to first fill Doctor Gu’s belly, then go prepare dishes for the pet beasts.

"Pfft————"

However, upon arriving at Lu Ran’s house, when Doctor Gu couldn’t resist asking about Lu Ran’s experience in the Breakthrough Secret Realm, the cat’s blabbering caused Doctor Gu to suddenly freeze on the sofa, nearly spitting out her juice.

"A Relic Space?!!"

"Yeah——" Inside the kitchen amidst the sounds of frying, Lu Ran said, "So my safety has greatly increased. In case of danger, hiding in the Relic Space is also an option."

A Relic Space could also be used by the holder to hide within. Lu Ran had already experimented with this, and even inside the Relic Space, he could still teleport to Infinite City. This made it difficult for him to encounter any danger.

"This..." Gu Qingyi was slightly bewildered as Ying, the store manager, patted her with a cat paw. "I understand how you feel, it’s actually not too bad, at least he didn’t bring back a Divine Beast cub or something."

"Mmm..." Gu Qingyi nodded reluctantly. That would... mean acceptance, right?

Although Lu Ran wasn’t the first person to bring back an epic-level item from a Breakthrough Secret Realm, in terms of equipment quality, the Tree King Ruin Space should be among the highest.

Gu Qingyi sighed. Really, if only Lu Ran were a First Generation, with his treatment akin to an Infinite City golden child, it might have been possible to give the Star-Moon Federation a huge surprise.

Unfortunately, ever since Blue Star learned that there were Legendary Level opponents in the World War, it was not just about hoping that the Second, Third, or Fourth Generations would rise quickly. Even the First Generation itself was under tremendous pressure.

After all, not a single First Generation has reached 6th Level.

"The dishes are ready..." Lu Ran kept it simple with ten dishes and one soup. After serving, the two people and a cat began to discuss Lu Ran’s 3rd Level Legendary Secret Realm.

"I haven’t decided yet."

"But most likely I’ll choose a Legendary Secret Realm with either Light or Dark Attribute," Lu Ran said.

When choosing a Legendary Secret Realm, naturally, one would select Rare Attributes.

Thinking of Light and Dark Attributes, Lu Ran thought of the Weather Spirit. If Manager Ying couldn’t find a suitable Attribute for it in the short term, then they could only gamble on a secret realm.

Awakening to a Light Attribute would be akin to further enhancing the speed of the Weather Spirit.

Awakening to a Dark Attribute would enable the Weather Spirit to awaken a weather ability that could also assist the Dark Crow Legion.

Honestly, from the standpoint of a Blue Star person, Lu Ran wasn’t aware of any powerful light or dark weather phenomena, but the Weather Spirit was not a Blue Star Species but a creature from the Elemental Era of the Star-Moon Continent.

Perhaps there existed some strange and eccentric weather phenomena of other Attributes in another world.

Given the description of its talent for changing at will, Lu Ran felt somewhat confident in attempting to awaken various bizarre Attributes for the Weather Spirit.

"Light and Dark, huh..."

Gu Qingyi was about to speak after taking a bite when suddenly, from outside, a voice shouted.

"My Lord, My Lord!! I’ve found the coordinates of General Xuan Turtle!!"

"But I don’t know why, there are dragons all around it, it seems to be inside the Dragon Palace. I was discovered and didn’t dare to investigate further. Ah, my eyes!!"
