“What a mess.” Lu Ran was speechless.
"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that four are a bit too many. Why don't you come and pick them up tomorrow, and I'll polish them for you." Master Lin said with a smile.
"It would be fine if you wanted an ice sword, but you actually wanted a fire sword! Is this for your own use? Did you get a fire-type pet and the skill to control fire?"
"Yeah." Lu Ran smiled slightly. It's so scary to tell you. It's the signature skill of the forger! "Good boy, that's fast enough! By the way, what's your budget this time?"
"Four, within 20,000 crystal coins."
There is no need for the quality to be too good, it is just a transitional weapon in the competition.
The quality is too poor and does not match his level. Like the Zhanfeng Sword, it was scrapped after being used twice. It is too fragile.
It's fine as long as it's normal, and the sword is not useless after the game is over.
It should also be possible to use it as a kitchen knife for cooking. One is for ice and the other is for fire, which just fits the two cooking skills he currently has.
"Okay."
After Lu Ran and Master Lin finished communicating, in order not to delay Lu Ran's competition, Master Lin immediately prepared to find materials for forging.
After Lu Ran had arranged most of the crystal coins, he returned to the secret training realm, intending to train in various energy techniques with the King of Sudden Death.
However, before the special training, Lu Ran took out the divine deer pendant and the soul-turning pot.
The first-level training secret realm already has a forest environment. Lu Ran hung the divine deer pendant on a tree branch to charge it.
As for the Soul-Transforming Pot, Lu Ran put a sky tree fruit in it and threw it aside, waiting for it to ripen.
The power of the Soul-Turning Pot does not come out of thin air. Its principle is similar to that of the Divine Deer Pendant, both of which use external natural energy to improve the quality of food.
For a rare resource like the sky tree fruit, the ripening time will not be short, so Lu Ran has to put it in in advance to prevent the fruit from being unripe when Mr. Ha is about to eat.
As for preserving high-end resources such as arowana, the process is much faster. You just need to preserve the freshness before eating, and there is no need to prepare in advance.
night.
In the secret training realm, Lu Ran grilled a dragon fish for King Death and fed Mr. Ha with sky tree fruits.
The former is roasted with the Flame Dragon cooking method, and the latter is cut with the Blizzard cooking method.
Both of them ate with gusto and were reluctant to leave.
After only half a day of training, there was no gain. It turned out that King of Sudden Death could not master the skills in seconds like Mr. Ha. However, Lu Ran was not in a hurry and just took it slow.
That night, Lu Ran did not return to the Green Sea, but slept in the training secret realm with his two pets.
After half a day of training, Lu Ran had consumed a lot of energy and soon fell asleep. However, his sleep that night was not very restful.
"Um?"
"Why am I in Red Leaf Park?"
Lu Ran felt heavy-headed and forgot what he was doing before. He opened his eyes, looked at the familiar environment, and subconsciously walked towards home.
However, before he could take a few steps, a huge space crack suddenly appeared above the city.
An extremely large blue-purple head slowly poked out from the crack, and let out a terrifying roar!!! "Roar!!!"
This roar instantly shattered the windows of all the houses and cars in Green Sea City and stunned many weak creatures. Countless passers-by covered their ears and knelt on the ground wailing in pain. As for the powerful creatures, they looked at the huge shadow in the sky in horror.
Soon, the entire body of the owner of the head emerged, and it was actually a creature in the shape of a giant dragon. Its strong body was made of ice and stone. After its wings wrapped in wind and snow fully spread out over Green Sea City, the entire city was instantly plunged into winter.
[Race]: Frost Dragon [Attribute]: Dragon
[Race Level]: High Overlord [Growth Level]: Level 76
In Red Leaf Park, Lu Ran only glanced at it from a distance, and his heart was shocked. At this moment, the Frost Sky Dragon also glanced at Lu Ran. It opened its huge mouth, and in an instant, the terrifying icy breath that was enough to freeze a city swallowed Lu Ran in an instant————
"ah----"
Lu Ran screamed and suddenly woke up from his dream.
"Woof!"
"roar!"
Beside Lu Ran, Mr. Ha and King of Death stood by, looking at Lu Ran, who was panting and shivering, with concern.
Are you having a nightmare again?
Mr. Ha and King Sudden Death asked cautiously.
This is Lu Ran's old problem. Ever since Lu Ran gained telepathy, he has often had nightmares about monsters invading the city.
But after Lu Ran became a beastmaster, he never had a similar dream again. Did it appear again today?
"Yes." Lu Ran felt cold all over, and he held his heart and said, "It's a similar strange dream again. I haven't had it for a long time. I don't know if this is a coincidence or the same as before."
This dream... was a little clearer than the last one. In the dream, he actually had an advanced data eye that could clearly see the monster's information.
Unlike before, when he was confused and was beaten to death by the monster.
"What's going on?" Lu Ran was also a little angry. Anyone who was tortured by a strange dream for so long would feel uncomfortable.
Can't he be allowed to dream something that young people should dream? However, as he recalled the strange dream, Lu Ran was sure that if this was true, it should not be the powerful native creatures of Blue Star attacking the city after the spiritual energy was revived.
Instead, it seems like creatures from other worlds are invading the Blue Planet.
After this strange dream, Lu Ran couldn't sleep well tonight, so he looked at Mr. Ha and King Dao, "Get up and continue training."
President Ha, King of Sudden Death: ??? …………
On the second day, Lu Ran and his team continued training, and this morning, King of Sudden Death finally made some progress.
It has learned to discharge.
It is now possible to release lightning energy stably outside the body, forming a powerful attack.
"King of Sudden Death, one hundred thousand volts... No, electric discharge."
Lu Ran almost called out the wrong skill name. Under his command, the three-meter-tall dragon lizard monster King of Death opened its mouth, and red lightning filled its mouth. The next moment, thick lightning was exhaled by King of Death, and turned into an irregularly shaped beam of light, which left a gorgeous mark in the air and hit the giant tree opposite!
Bang!!
The giant tree exploded.
Leaving a charred black area.
"Yes, but it doesn't last long and can't discharge continuously. Let's master the energy flow as soon as possible."
"Burp." On the side, King Death showed a distressed expression, and several electric sparks burst out of his mouth.
It really doesn't like this skill.
Because just by spitting out a flash of lightning, it felt like it had wasted a lot of energy.
If this energy is formed into a shield, it will be enough to last for half a day.
Release-type skills...are still big energy consumers.
However, after Lu Ran's previous education, King of Sudden Death also knew this basic skill. It was okay for him not to major in it, but he had to learn it.
"You can continue to study, but you don't need to train too much today." Lu Ran took out his mobile phone, checked the time, and said, "I'm going to get my weapons from Master Lin, and then I'll pack up and prepare to leave for Jinling. I have to take part in a preliminary assessment tomorrow."
"King of Sudden Death, you will fight the examiner's pet tomorrow."
King of Sudden Death: “Roar?”
Mr. Ha: “Woof!”
Mr. Ha, who was practicing multitasking by controlling two branches by shaking them with the wind, gave him a resentful look.
It looked depressed, why didn't it fight! The Sudden Death King didn't want to fight, but it did! Beating up the examiner's level 30 pet, just thinking about it was exciting... Mr. Ha looked at the bewildered Sudden Death King with regret, saying that this task... was left to you.
The King of Death Speechless: ...
…………
Infinite City.
After Lu Ran took away two "Wind and Snow Swords" and two "Wind and Flame Swords" from Master Lin, he returned to the Green Sea.
After coming back, he called Fang Lan first.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll need some time here. Let's leave in two hours, okay?" Fang Lan said, "Have you booked your ticket?"
"Why book tickets? I'll find a big guy to teleport us there later, and you can just pack up slowly." Lu Ran said.
"Ah? Oh, okay." Fang Lan said, "By the way, Lu Bing and the pig farmer are also in Jinling now. We can have an offline gathering then."
"I understand." Lu Ran said.
The pig farmer had planned to apply to the Beast Taming University from the beginning for the prize money.
A lot of people in Lujia Village had not originally planned to apply for university, but after the competition information was announced, the prizes were so generous that Lu Bing and others also became interested.
Therefore, among the four generations of beastmasters in Lujia Village, the four more powerful ones were pushed out to participate in the competition and go to university for further studies.
That is Lu Bing, Lu Yi, Lu Dingding and Lu Xiaowu.
As for the others, they stayed in the village and continued to hunt in Infinite City to make money.
A month ago, Lu Ran brought Lu Bing and Lu Yi to the secret realm and trained them to become the best beastmasters among the fourth generation.
The two of them then boosted the strength of their former teammates Lu Dingding and Lu Xiaowu.
Afterwards, these few people began to level up with other tribesmen. As outstanding young people who care about the village, they also obtained the largest number of inheritances from the previous generation of beastmasters in Lujia Village. Their strength was further enhanced, and now they are the strongest team in Lujia Village.
“I don’t know how strong they are.”
Since he had to wait for Fang Lan, Lu Ran took advantage of this time to check on his seven general beasts...
Now it should be called the Six Generals Beast.
After all, the King of Sudden Death has been promoted to the King's personal bodyguard...
"The King's Six Generals Beasts, that's not very smooth, let's see if there's a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy."
After a while, Lu Ran sent a message through the crow soldiers and quickly summoned the dark crows outside the window.
"King!!!" Dark Crow landed outside the window and said in surprise: "Long time no see!!!"
[Race]: Black Crow [Attribute]: Dark
[Race Level]: Advanced Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 17
With Lu Ran's data eye, he can finally clearly see the level information of the Dark Crows.
The level is not high.
Dark Crow should be the strongest among the seven beasts, except for the King of Sudden Death.
As for the other five, the difference in strength is not that big.
Lu Ran deduced that they should be around level 15.
This won't do. It's too weak. How can it protect Green Sea City at this level? Is there any good way to cultivate the Seven Generals Beast? Lu Ran pondered.
Being confined to a small Green Sea City is indeed too restrictive for the growth of extraordinary creatures.
You know, the first-tier ferocious beasts in places like the deep sea and the Amazon rainforest are already over level 40, which is comparable to the level of the main pets of the second-generation beastmasters. Their growth and evolution speed is unimaginable. These places are worthy of being the cradle of resources.
Currently, all countries are beginning to worry that these ferocious beasts are growing too fast, causing humans to lose their position as the overlord of the blue planet.
While thinking in his heart, Lu Ran said on the surface: "The Seven Generals are vacant. Is there any suitable beast to replace the King of Sudden Death?"
"General Lei Long...died suddenly?!" Dark Crow was shocked.
"No! I have contracted it." Lu Ran said, "Now, apart from the six of you, who is the strongest supernatural creature in Green Sea City?"
"It's the Queen Bee!" Dark Crow said, "She's as strong as us."
“So it’s this one. That’s normal.” Lu Ran nodded. Supernatural honey was Lu Ran’s favorite resource, so he gave the Green Sea Bee Clan a privilege. They had the priority right to collect honey from the supernatural plants in Green Sea City.
This was a huge privilege, as it allowed the bee tribe to be fed fully. Lu Ran remembered that the most talented queen bee in the bee tribe of Green Sea City was a grass-type extraordinary creature. Although her initial evolutionary range was not as good as those of Yizier and the others, she was also in the first tier under level 10, so she should also be a high-level extraordinary race.
Now, after nearly two months of development, it seems that we have caught up with Yizier and the others.
"Then you should pass on the order to make Queen Bee the new king's seven generals. Her code name is 'Queen Bee'."
"Well... by the way, tell the queen bee that I want to eat honey." Lu Ran felt that this was like a power transaction. Anyway, he didn't mean it that way. He wanted to cultivate the seven general beasts well! At this time, he was just selecting beast talents.
“Gah.”
…………
After Dark Crow left, Lu Ran decided to train a non-staff pet.
If the strange dream really came true, Lu Ran felt that it would not be safe to rely solely on the power of Mr. Ha and the others.
"Legion."
"Let's gather a corps of pet beasts!" Lu Ran made the decision quickly.
In the early days of spiritual energy revival, all countries faced a difficult situation. There were many mutant beasts living in groups.
They may move together in hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Sometimes a beastmaster might prefer to face a powerful individual rather than a massive tide of beasts.
Somewhere in North America, there was an extraordinary seagull riot. Thousands of wind and water seagulls activated their skills together, instantly bringing up a horrific storm and forming a tsunami, which submerged a human island the size of a second-tier city.
According to the survey, the average level of this group of seagulls does not exceed level 10.
However, it was this group of seagulls, no more than level 10, who released their power together and achieved a qualitative change from quantitative change.
Even higher-level creatures would find it difficult to achieve what they have achieved.
Although some experts say that they may have simply predicted the weather and acted in accordance with the forces of nature, it is undeniable that an organized and coordinated army of extraordinary creatures can accomplish cross-level combat to a certain extent.
Lu Ran felt that he should now make good use of the advantages of telepathy and raise such an army of extraordinary creatures. After all, the ready-made conditions were in front of him. As the King of the Green Sea, it would be a waste to only let the Dark Crows maintain law and order and act as spies.
"The Dark Crow has a very high IQ, and has become the leader of several thousand crows. It is also continuously recruiting crows from the outside world... Why not use the crow group as a pilot?"
"Compared to other animals, crows are more intelligent and easier to train."
"Moreover, most crows are wind-type, so it is easier to combine wind-type skills to form legion skills."
"First, train a crow army that can use legion skills. If it works, we can further promote and create other legions." At that time, these extraordinary biological legions can not only help to protect the city, but also expand territory and plunder resources outside human countries after they have formed a certain scale. The Dark Crows also had this ambition...
