The King of Beast Trainers

Chapter 500: Chapter 311: Armed Baby Stroller_1

Devil Starfish, Lava Crocodile, Light Devourer...

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, "These three are the toughest Level Three Legendary Secret Realms, huh?"

"Right." Manager Ying nodded lightly.

Next to her, Lu Ran plonked down on the couch, crossed his legs, and started to think deeply.

"As for the boss in the ocean depths... there are few Beast Trainers who excel in underwater combat, and with that boss’s strong self-regenerative ability, it indeed is difficult to conquer."

"This Devil Starfish is of the Water, Dark Twin System. I have a need for both Water and Dark Attributes, and everyone needs a pure self-healing trait like this..."

"It can be a backup option."

"With Yun Bao and Dark Crow here, I shouldn’t have a problem with deep sea fights now. I can give it a try."

"Let’s forget about the Lava Crocodile."

"I don’t really need the trait of flame and lava. I’m the only one in the team who masters the Flame Attribute. With Flame Spirit here, it’s highly unlikely I will contract a Fire Pet Beast in the future, so we can rule that one out."

"Even if Yun Bao might cultivate Fire-related Weather Skills in the future, this might still not be the best choice."

"The Light Devourer... Grass, Light Twin System. I currently possess a rather strong Grass Attribute Trait and will surely contract a Grass Pet Beast in the future. The Light Attribute is also powerful, and it complements the Grass well. Choosing this one seems like a good option too."

"Torn."

"Both the first and third options feel viable. The traits dropped by the Devil Starfish might be useful right away, while those from the Light Devourer might be for the future."

Manager Ying knew this situation would arise, so she sighed and said, "Why don’t you flip a coin then?"

"Leave the decision to fate."

"Sounds good." Lu Ran took out a Clover Trait crystal and grabbed a marker to label one side with "草" and the other with "水".

With Manager Ying’s twitching lips beside him, Lu Ran cleared his mind, closed his eyes, and casually tossed it onto the sofa.

The Trait Crystal flipped several times in the air before landing on the couch. Lu Ran opened one eye to see the result and then fell into contemplation.

It was the side with three droplets of water... meaning the Clover Trait guided him to challenge that Water, Dark Twin System boss, the Devil Starfish.

"I’ll trust you once!" Lu Ran retrieved the crystal and wiped off the marker stains.

"Decided?" asked Manager Ying.

"Decided. That Devil Starfish it is. Where is this Secret Realm?" Lu Ran asked.

Manager Ying replied, "Marley Country. It’s not a problem; I’ll let them know, and you can go directly to the challenge."

"Oh, ok."

"Then I’ll go now. I’ve got nothing else to do anyway," said Lu Ran nonchalantly.

He wasn’t going to watch the match between Dean Qin and President Youxiong.

As for preparing to face a Legendary Secret Realm, it wasn’t necessary either.

The bosses of Level Three Legendary Secret Realms are all Middle-Level Overlords of Level 40.

Even though a Middle-Level Overlord serving as a Secret Realm boss would be much stronger than a regular wild Middle-Level Overlord, it shouldn’t pose much of a challenge for Lu Ran.

After all, his team line-up was too luxurious... At the same level, thinking about taking on many opponents to confront Lu Ran and his team would probably require a Divine Beast cub to stand a chance.

The only challenge in this Secret Realm was the combat environment, but Lu Ran already had a plan for that.

"Going now? Sure," said Manager Ying, grinning mischievously.

You’re slapping the face of the International League, aren’t you?

Having just breezed through five League challenges and then immediately going to challenge one of the toughest Level Three Legendary Secret Realms... aren’t you blatantly indicating that the challenges posed no pressure whatsoever?

...

Infinite City, Marley Country.

It didn’t take long before Lu Ran teleported there, starting to check out the information about the Secret Realm.

[Name]: Demon Sea Cave

[Level]: Three

[Difficulty]: Legendary

[Introduction]: Devil Starfish, a mutated variant of the Dark Sea Star.

A demonized mutated creature extremely savage and devoid of reason, causing endless slaughter in the great seas.

The Demon Sea Cave, one of the Devil Starfish habitats. Here, you will encounter the growing Devil Starfish and become its prey...

(Devil Starfish, Water Attribute, Dark Attribute, Middle-Level Overlord Race, Level 40.)

[Challenge Crystal Coins]: 0

Manager Ying’s intel: [Based on the experiences of other teams, once teleported, challengers will find themselves in the high-pressure, icy depths of the ocean, barely able to move. The first challenge for the challengers is to locate the Demon Sea Cave in the pitch-black deep water. Without a Water Attribute Carrier Pet Beast, this step could already eliminate the challengers. Next comes the encounter with the Devil Starfish... This step is also a super-difficult point for challengers, and it’s generally advised that Beast Trainers with Fusion Skills and Water Attribute Pet Beasts take up the challenge.]

Looking at the daunting introduction and recalling Manager Ying’s intel, Lu Ran called out Yun Bao and took out a Roc Feather.

"Yun!! Yun!!"

After appearing, Yun Bao looked listless. It had been tortured by a month of hard training, only to find the challenge didn’t involve it at all, which really hurt Yun Bao’s feelings.

Lu Ran patted the floating Yun Bao and said, "That little tournament was nothing challenging."

"Next, we’re off to challenge the Legendary Secret Realm. Fighting bosses is exciting."

"Yun!!!" Yun Bao’s eyes lit up, glancing at the Roc Feather. Was it the main force this time?

Lu Ran smiled: "You’ll be the main mode of transportation."

Yun Bao: ???

Alright, alright, alright, it wants to crash into the BOSS, Yun Bao flutters chaotically.

A transportation vehicle crashing someone to death makes sense, doesn’t it!

Lu Ran: ?

"What are you thinking about, thinking Psychic Sensing is just for show?"

"However, since you want to crash, I’ll let you do your thing, with plenty of BUFFs, do whatever you want," Lu Ran’s lips curled upwards.

Not long after, Yun Bao, having taken the Roc Feather from Lu Ran, transformed into a big fish in a private room.

A whale-sized mighty roc!

Lu Ran stretched out his hand, touched its body, then directly dived into Yun Bao’s body, entering a white room resembling a sea of clouds.

Inside, Lu Ran could see clearly outside through Yun Bao’s body, just like riding a submarine about to dive into the deep sea.

But with just Yun Bao as a submarine, it definitely wasn’t enough to confront the Devil Starfish, so Lu Ran immediately summoned Mr. Husky Team, the King of Sudden Death, and Dark Crow as well.

Theoretically, one shouldn’t summon the King of Sudden Death, who has a Thunder Attribute, for an underwater battle.

But since he had learned Defense Aura, the King of Sudden Death was still somewhat valuable as of now.

With everyone aboard the Big Fish Submarine, Lu Ran entered the Secret Realm with peace of mind.

[Teleportation complete.]

...

[Challenge Quest: Defeat the Devil Starfish.]

...

The challenge quest is to defeat, not to kill.

It seems that Infinite City determined that killing the Devil Starfish is too difficult.

As for what constitutes a defeat, it’s up to Infinite City’s judgment.

Once deep underwater, Mr. Husky and the King of Sudden Death were quite intrigued, looking through the water curtain window created by Yun Bao at the surrounding environment.

And after arriving here, Yun Bao also aimlessly swam around, waiting for Lu Ran’s commands.

Lu Ran glanced at Dark Crow and said, "Finding the enemy is up to you."

"Caw! Let’s see if I can curse it to death in one go!" exclaimed Dark Crow.

It immediately began searching with all its might for the Devil Starfish, and soon enough, saw a terrifying creature with a horrifying aura deep within a far-off sea cave.

"Hiss..."

It was a creature with pink skin resembling a hybrid of human and starfish, with dark patterns on its limbs.

At the moment, it seemed to be asleep in the sea cave. Dark Crow’s Eye of the Evil God opened in this place, and at the first glance, it was shocked by the strong dark aura emanating from the creature.

Dark Crow felt that its own Dark Power wasn’t as pure as this creature’s.

"You..." Dark Crow thought it had hidden its presence very well, but the moment its eyes appeared, the Devil Starfish suddenly opened its pitch-black eyes and appeared behind the Eye of the Evil God as if teleporting, crushing Dark Crow’s eyes!

"Damn it!"

Inside the Big Fish Submarine, Dark Crow blinked hard and said discontentedly, "It has strong perception and reaction ability, and it’s very fast too. I just gave it a glance, and before I could unleash a curse, one of my Evil God eye clones was directly crushed by it."

"My Lord, give me another chance."

"I will certainly slay it."

"The stronger, the better," said Lu Ran. "That way, Yun Bao will have more fun ramming into it..."

"Hold off on the curses, let Yun Bao have a go first."

"Huh?" Dark Crow was startled. Crash?

"It seems to be drawn over here, so now we don’t need to go looking for it," Lu Ran stroked his chin and sat in the Big Fish Submarine, looking forward.

In the distance in the sea, a figure resembling a starfish appeared to be flying through the ocean, hurtling toward them at high speed.

It wore a brutal expression, seemingly searching for its spying foe.

In no time at all, it locked onto the whale-formed Yun Bao, revealing a malicious grin.

And at this moment, Yun Bao seemed to have noticed the Devil Starfish as well, bearing a fierce look.

"Click! (Lu Ran, shield!)"

After Yun Bao spoke, the King of Sudden Death, taken aback, cast a shield on it, the next instant, Yun Bao’s body shone brightly, displaying speed not inferior to that of the Devil Starfish, and with a "boom," rammed straight into the incoming Devil Starfish.

Devil Starfish: ?

The two figures collided fiercely, and with a "bang," the Devil Starfish was sent tumbling backward through the deep sea, its body shaking uncontrollably, a look of bewilderment on its face.

It felt that its attack hadn’t broken through its opponent’s defenses.

Instead, it was struck so hard that it rolled over, feeling dizzy.

Before it could recover from the collision, Lu Ran immediately gave another command, "Mr. Husky, Infinite Sword Realm!"

"Ugh..." The next moment, Mr. Husky unleashed the Sword Field in the deep sea, enveloping all allies and the Devil Starfish within it.

At this point, Lu Ran finally declared his strategic blueprint.

"Mr. Husky, use Unlimited Power and imagine Yun Bao as a sword, then use Sharp Gold Sword Intent to enhance Yun Bao’s sharpness, and, well... pair it with the King of Sudden Death’s Defense Aura, let’s have Yun Bao spar with this Devil Starfish for a bit," Lu Ran said.

The next instant.

In the midst of the Devil Starfish’s furious roar, it was once again rammed over by the whale-shaped vehicle; this time, its body was torn open with several sword-like gashes, which took the Devil Starfish by surprise.

It stared at the opposing whale, completely dumbfounded, thinking, what the hell is this creature that even its ramming is so brutal?
