What a mess.

A dog fighting with a piece of grass in its mouth? Shi Ze shook his head. He couldn't understand it.

"Wait."

"dog?"

His eyes suddenly showed surprise, and he looked at Lu Ran beside him: "Brother Lu Ran, is your pet also a dog?"

"Yes." Lu Ran nodded, "Didn't I say that?"

"No, haha, what a coincidence!" Shi Ze laughed, "Now you represent our Shi family in the battle, it's more convincing!"

"I didn't expect it to be a dog beast."

"It is indeed fate. Come to think of it... I have a cousin whose surname is also Shi, and her name is Shi Xia." Lu Ran smiled with emotion.

As for something like fate, as long as you are casual enough, you can talk about it however you want.

"Is this true?" Shi Ze was shocked. Isn't this a coincidence?

"If your pet, brother Lu Ran, is also a dog, then we will have a lot more common topics to talk about."

Lu Ran curled his lips and said, "I'm not interested in taking care of a bitch after giving birth."

“There’s more!”

"Let me think about it. How about this, Brother Lu Ran, when we get to our family, I'll find someone to compete with you."

"That's just right. Let the elders see your strength."

"In this way, there are still seven days before the competition, and we can also provide you, brother Lu Ran, with some combat readiness resources! Just consider it as our greeting gift."

"As for the breeding of canines, our Shi family is very proficient."

"Sure." Lu Ran smiled.

"Okay! We'll be there soon." Shi Ze looked forward.

The Shi family is located in the southern part of Shujie City, covering hundreds of acres. Shi Ze was sitting in the carriage pulled by two wind-chasing horses, looking forward to it. Not long after, they arrived at the gate of the Shi family.

The gate was open, leading to the inner courtyard. There was no one guarding the two sides of the gate, but there were two sturdy white dogs lying there. As the Wind-Chasing Carriage approached, the two white guard dogs stood up and started barking, "Woof woof woof".

[Race]: Moonlight Dog

【Attribute】: Light

[Race Level]: Low-level Commander [Growth Level]: Level 33

[Introduction]: A dog-monster that grew up bathing in moonlight.

"Woof woof!!" Although the giant dog was roaring, it did not exude hostility. It seemed more like welcoming. The carriage stopped in front of the door. Lu Ran and Shi Ze got off. Shi Ze waved his hand, and the two wind-chasing horses turned around and walked away.

He then smiled and said to Lu Ran: "This is our guard dog. There are two at each gate."

“Light system…” Lu Ran looked surprised and said, “No wonder your Shi family is unwilling to switch to cultivation at will. It turns out that the inheritance has the cultivation foundation of the light system.”

"Haha, our family's dog breed bloodline is said to be inherited from the legendary 'Moon Swallower' dog breed. From the extraordinary to the king, they can all increase their strength by swallowing moonlight, so it's relatively easy to breed them."

The main purpose is to save money.

Shi Ze laughed first and then felt distressed, saying: "Originally this was a great advantage, but who knew that those plant lives would be even more unreasonable..."

"Any plant can grow by devouring sunlight. Bang, our advantage was shattered in an instant."

"Plant pets are strong and easy to cultivate. How can this be compared?"

Lu Ran: ? You mean photosynthesis?

"But fortunately, most plant life only absorbs nutrients from the sun to grow. We still have a little advantage, that is, pets can use light elements to attack, which ordinary plants can't do." Shi Ze smiled slightly and said, "Be careful when we fight later!"

"I'll take you to the lobby to rest first. Wait for me to call the elders out."

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded.

Soon, Lu Ran, led by Shi Ze, came to the reception hall. On the way, many servants called Shi Ze "Young Master". It seemed that his status in the Shi family was not low. I don't know if he was the son of the patriarch or the elder.

Following the notification from the servant, a middle-aged man and two old men quickly came to the lobby.

They saw Lu Ran and Shi Ze drinking tea and chatting, and they laughed.

"Shi Ze, this must be the genius of Yu Shou Zhai."

The family naturally knew that Ishizawa was going to look for the talented contestants from Yushouzhai, or rather, it was the family's intention.

The strongest beastmaster of the Shi family is only level 6. Facing the force of the Beastmaster Yuzhai, they still have to be polite.

It must be said that the identity of this genius of the Beast Taming House arranged by Infinite City is very good. Even if Lu Ran himself is only level two, it is destined that some people with bad intentions who want to harm Lu Ran will have to consider the consequences of their actions.

"Yes, Second Master, Third Master, and Uncle." Shi Ze stood up and called them, then said to Lu Ran who also stood up, "This brother Lu Ran was born in the Beast Taming House, and he also breeds dog beasts. He has a good affinity with us, and he has agreed to represent the Shi family in the Plant Beast Competition..."

"That's great. Welcome to the Shi family." Hearing Shi Ze's words, the three of them smiled as brightly as chrysanthemums.

"Hello, seniors." Lu Ran also saluted with a smile, not too reserved.

"Oh, by the way, Second Master, Third Master, and Uncle." Shi Ze looked at the two old men and the strong one and said, "Brother Lu Ran is quite interested in plant pets. He asked me about the method of 'awakening the intelligence of vicious plants' before..."

"How can I understand this, do you know?"

"This." A thin old man looked at Lu Ran and said, "Are you interested in this?"

"Does the senior know?" Lu Ran asked.

“I don’t know…” The second elder of the Shi family shook his head and said, “Since ancient times, those vicious plants on the continent have awakened their spiritual intelligence and completed their evolution for unknown reasons.”

"However, although there is no specific method, I have heard of several theories."

"Please tell me, senior." Lu Ran accepted everyone who came.

"You should have heard these sayings, but considering your young age, you may not have heard them. Let me tell you about them." He laughed.

"There is a saying that in the distant past, the legendary creatures that ruled this continent were all animal races."

"They are the absolute masters of this continent."

"So on this continent, animals evolve much faster than anything else."

"But one day, a sacred tree suddenly emerged and evolved intelligence. It suppressed countless beast legends, and its roots spread across the entire continent, controlling the world."

"Those plants that have evolved intelligence have been able to evolve because of the gifts and blessings of the sacred tree."

"This is theory 1. If plants want to evolve, they can only rely on the blessings of the sacred tree."

Lu Ran was stunned. Blue Star also knew this.

Many botanists firmly believe this statement, because spiritual plants cannot give birth to spiritual intelligence on the Blue Star, but they can on the Divine Tree Continent.

Isn't the difference between the two just that one place doesn't have the sacred tree, and the other has it? "Another theory is that the sacred tree changed the rules of this world, suppressing the evolution of other species and accelerating the evolution of plant life. However, in order to complete the evolution, these plant lives also need to meet certain 'rules'. In other words, each plant needs a different method to awaken its spiritual intelligence, and must meet the different awakening conditions set by the sacred tree."

A specific awakening method? That makes sense.

However, they are all related to the sacred tree.

Sacred tree.

This should be a legendary plant creature.

It was able to have a continent named after it. I wonder how its strength compares to the four great creation dragons.

However, it is definitely more powerful than the sacred deer.

After all, he is a legendary figure who changed the world single-handedly.

"Okay, thank you." Lu Ran did not get the information he wanted. It seems that if he wants to explore further, he still has to contact the master of royal plants.

The Lord of Tree Realm City seems to be a legendary royal plant master.

Didn’t Shi Ze say before that she was interested in taking in a disciple?

I don’t know if I can find a master while breaking through this secret realm.

Lu Ran muttered to himself.

"Um, sir, do you want to evolve some ferocious plant?" asked another relatively plump elder.

"Yes." Lu Ran said.

He pondered for a moment and said, "You have all heard of the long-leaf sword grass, right?"

"Long-leaf sword grass!!"

Shi Ze's uncle, the sturdy man, was stunned and said, "Of course I know, it's the most powerful plant among the king race!"

"Even a dragon creature would be killed or crippled if scratched by it. Even space can be cut by its sharp body!"

"Once awakened, it will become an extremely powerful and ferocious plant of the higher king race!"

"Could it be that..."

"Yes, when I was traveling around the continent, I found an unawakened long-leaf sword grass, and I dug it up." Lu Ran smiled.

"Then, I found that even the unawakened sword grass was very sharp, and its attack power was much stronger than the claws and teeth of my dog ​​beast."

"So, I let the dog beast hold it in its mouth and chop people in battle."

"As a result, it's pretty impressive."

"The dog's fighting skills are becoming more and more proficient."

"So I was thinking, is there a possibility to combine animal pets and plant pets, so that humans can control animals and animals can control plants."

"Now, I really want to awaken the sword grass, so that my dog ​​beast may become stronger."

Everyone: “???”

"Damn! So this is what a dog holding grass in its mouth means." Shi Ze was dumbfounded and said, "Brother, you are a tiger. You let your pet fight with something as dangerous as sword grass in its mouth. Aren't you afraid that the sword grass will cut off the dog's head if you are not careful?"

"It's okay. My dog ​​beast has a strong control over the sword grass." Lu Ranle.

"A grass-type dog beast?" Shi Ze's uncle said in surprise. This is rare.

"That's not the case, but it has mastered the artistic conception of plants and trees, so it can be considered a half-grass-type pet." The reason why Mr. Ha has strong control over the sword grass is because of the weapon control characteristics, and because it regards the sword grass as a weapon. Of course, this is not easy to explain, so Lu Ran directly started to fool him with the artistic conception of plants and trees.

"This..." Several people looked at each other. It was the first time they saw someone letting their pet fight while holding sword grass in its mouth.

However, after all that Lu Ran said, isn't it just the traditional grass-type pet controlling plants? In fact, grass-type pets can control ordinary plants, but controlling extraordinary plants is simply not feasible.

Because the control of grass-type pets over grass is inevitably inferior to that of plant life. Grass-type pets are like grandsons in front of plant life. Therefore, in this plant age, grass-type pets can be regarded as one of the weakest attribute races.

“This…” The Second Elder hesitated to speak. He was not optimistic about this breeding method. He could not imagine how this breeding method could have any combat effectiveness. Moreover, Lu Ran’s pet was not a grass-type pet. Maybe it could still use the sword grass now, but when the sword grass really awakened, Lu Ran’s dog head would be gone.

Would a ferocious plant like sword grass be allowed to be controlled by a dog?

They really couldn't imagine it. At this time, Shi Ze smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lu Ran, come, let's go out and spar with each other. Let me see how your pet fights."

Shi Ze felt that the truth of everything had to be revealed through practice, so he decided not to look for anyone else to fight with Lu Ran, but to go on the field himself.

"Okay." Lu Ran said indifferently.

…

Soon, everyone arrived at the battlefield at the back. The three heads of the Shi family did not stop the fight. They also wanted to see Lu Ran's strength.

As all kinds of bizarre ideas emerged from Lu Ran's mouth, they now became more and more skeptical about the value of this genius from the Beast Taming House.

If it weren't for the blood seal of coercion on the recommendation letter that couldn't be faked and there was no need to fake it, they would have almost doubted Lu Ran's true identity.

On the huge field with four pillars standing at the four corners, Shi Ze was eager to try and felt that Lu Ran was quite interesting. What he hadn't told Lu Ran before was that he was actually also a contestant in the Plant-Beast Championship. Last year, he made it into the top 32.

Lu Ran claims that he has the strength to be among the top 16 to 32. We’ll know if he is really that strong after a fight.

"I summoned first."

"Bright Moon." Shi Ze stood on the field. As his mental power surged, a huge summoning array was outlined on the field. At the same time, white light spread, and a giant dog with a moon mark on its forehead appeared, stepping on the fluorescent light on the ground, its blue eyes staring at Lu Ran.

“Ooooooo!!!!”

【Name】：Moon Swallowing Dog

【Attribute】: Light

[Race Level]: Middle King [Growth Level]: Level 35

A mid-level king of level 35, this Moon-Swallowing Dog revealed a domineering aura of a king when it appeared. However, in a flash, its arrogant eyes suddenly flashed with ripples, and then its pupils shrank sharply.

"Boss Ha."

As Lu Ran finished speaking, he began to summon.

Not only it, but even Shi Ze suddenly showed a look of shock.

Because as Lu Ran summoned his pet, a soul suppression from deep in his blood caused the Moon-Swallowing Dog to tense up with fear and his heartbeat accelerated. This reaction was also transmitted to its beastmaster! ! Boom! !

The extremely cold wind spread, and Mr. Ha appeared in the wind and snow. His huge and majestic body was several times larger than the Moon-Swallowing Dog.

Although they didn't know what race Mr. Ha was, but when they felt the fear in the Moon-Swallowing Dog's look, they instantly judged that the giant dog in front of them might be of a terrifyingly high race.

“Ouch~~~~” Mr. Ha looked at it indifferently.

"Overlord!!!" Suddenly, Shi Ze's second grandfather spoke in shock. The pet in his contract space clearly told it what kind of existence the giant dog in front of it was.

This was actually a dog-beast from the dominant race. One should know that in the huge Tree Realm City, currently only the city lord possessed a plant pet from the dominant race. Now, they actually saw such a terrifying pet on a second-level beastmaster.

They looked at Lu Ran's smiling face and were shocked. Something was wrong. What was the origin of this guy? He was definitely not just an ordinary member of the Beast Taming House! (End of this chapter)
