Now Lu Ran understood why killing monsters and leveling up was only the reward mechanism for the Novice Trial Secret Realm. If this mechanism was retained, he could become a hard worker and kill 10,000 demon cats in the Demon Cat Forest in one day.

Even if he doesn't find it annoying, a certain Infinite City consciousness in charge of projection would probably be annoyed, after all, there are too many Beast Tamers to serve.

Swoosh! “Meow!”

Swoosh! "Meow——"

Boss Ha killed the demon cats without mercy, and his skills became more and more adept, almost killing one with one sword. This was mainly because the demon cats that appeared later were only level 7 at most and were not very strong.

"Watch out, Storm Slash!"

During this period, Lu Ran also tried out the extraordinary ability of the Wind-Slashing Sword, which was to use the sword to draw on his physical strength to activate the power of wind hidden in the sword.

When the power of wind surrounded the Wind-Slaying Sword, his sword immediately became similar to Mr. Ha's sword, able to cut through iron like mud.

Lu Ran swept his sword across, and the giant tree was easily cut down. The wind blade was extremely sharp.

However, just like when Mr. Ha released his sword energy, Lu Ran also felt a little weak after being hit by the Zhanfeng Sword.

Although the weapon is good, he is just an apprentice now and has not yet developed the physique of a fierce beast, so he cannot abuse it.

Just use it as a normal weapon... Don't activate the power of wind unless it is necessary.

"Huh... I've been here for more than four hours."

Lu Ran picked some fruits from the fallen tree and glanced at the time. In the past four hours, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha had killed more monsters than they had killed in 24 hours in the novice trial secret realm.

Because of the space backpack, I was able to collect a lot of materials! Hemostatic mushroom x21, wood scale fruit x14, detoxification grass x3, demon cat nail x16, snake gall x1, rabbit meat x4.

Although there are a lot of resources, their total value is not high.

Lu Ran had looked at it in the resource store before, and the most expensive item was snake gall, which was only 5 crystal coins each.

The total value of all these things added up is far less than half of the ticket price.

How do those beast masters who enter the secret realm to collect materials make their money back? Is it because their posture is wrong? Or is it because the Demon Cat Forest Secret Realm is not the best dungeon for grinding materials!

Now, the only way Lu Ran can think of to earn back the ticket price is to complete the challenge mission and defeat the BOSS.

“Awoof!!!”

However, Lu Ran did not have a strong desire to earn back the money he spent on the tickets. After all, he came here just to charge the Divine Deer Pendant, not to make money.

It’s just that this dog, Mr. Ha, has been invincible all the way and seems to be a little bit arrogant. He has accumulated a lot of hatred towards the demon cat leader.

Well... although he hasn’t seen the Demon Cat Leader yet, this guy already hates him to the core.

“Ouch~~~”

President Ha looked at the demon cat's claws on the ground and roared to the sky, "Demon cat leader, it's time to settle everything!"

If one day, the leader of the demon cats dies in the hands of Mr. Ha, the reason may be that the demon cat clan's younger brothers are too stingy and can't drop any good things.

“Let’s just clear the shit out of this. Keep collecting resources, charging, and fighting the boss is for later.” Lu Ran used the sword to cut through the bushes. This was the most common thing this sword did at the moment, clearing roadblocks!

Although Mr. Ha is very arrogant, Lu Ran doesn't dare to be arrogant.

Because according to his understanding, even the boss of a simple-level novice secret realm is very powerful.

First of all, the level must be 10.

Secondly, their attributes have been awakened and they can use the attribute energy freely.

At least I have mastered a skill.

Also, in most cases, there are several to a dozen followers around you.

This is also the reason why it is very difficult for a Beastmaster to play alone.

In this situation, even if Mr. Ha has weapon bonuses, he can only release four sword energies at most and use his head to defeat the BOSS.

"Woof!" Mr. Ha sighed.

My own beastmaster is just too cautious...

"Oh!" Mr. Ha was about to exclaim, but suddenly, his expression changed.

Almost subconsciously, he quickly gathered the sword energy and swung it in one direction! ! ! The white sword energy flew out with a bang, scaring Lu Ran, but soon he knew what was going on.

Mr. Ha has discovered the enemy.

Moreover, this enemy had excellent concealment ability and was already very close to them, but they never noticed!

If it weren't for Mr. Ha's good perception of air flow and sense of smell, he might not have noticed the enemy's sneak attack!

Yes, before President Ha attacked, the enemy had already launched an attack on Lu Ran and his men.

On a tree, there was a not very big demon cat with green fur, staring at Mr. Ha and Lu Ran with its yellow-green eyes ferociously.

It swung its claws, and five claws flashing green light attacked Lu Ran and the others.

It was surprisingly also a releasing skill.

Fortunately, Mr. Ha reacted in time and immediately swung out his sword energy, which collided with it and blocked the attack.

Boom! However, the collision of the two skills still produced a considerable reaction, directly stirring up a small gust of wind that almost blew Lu Ran down.

"Fuck, Demon Cat Leader, why is it here?"

Lu Ran immediately locked onto the enemy through the smoke and was shocked.

[Race]: Demon Cat [Attribute]: Grass

[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 10

Seeing this guy's information, Lu Ran shouted without any hesitation:

"Exit the secret realm!"

"Boss Ha, try to hold it off for 10 seconds!"

After just one confrontation between Mr. Ha and the other party, Lu Ran knew that this guy was definitely not someone they could deal with at the moment.

First of all, the grass-type cat demon leader seems to be able to blend into nature in the forest environment. If it hadn’t actively launched an attack and the energy fluctuations were too strong, Mr. Ha would still not have noticed it.

Secondly, although Mr. Ha’s sword energy and the opponent’s Flying Leaf Claw seemed to be of similar power, they canceled each other out.

However, Mr. Ha can only release four attacks of this level at most, and this demon cat leader is level 10, so the number of skills he can release may be much greater.

One more thing…

Swish, swish, swish…

That’s right, after killing so many of the other party’s minions...he and Mr. Ha should now be considered as extremely evil invasive species.

"Awoo~~~" At this time, Mr. Ha didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. His eyes became serious. He held the Fengyun Sword in his mouth and sent another sword energy towards the demon cat leader.

Whoosh! The white wind blade flew out, breaking through the air.

But this time, the demon cat leader did not choose to fight back. Instead, he jumped to another tree at an extremely fast speed and avoided the attack.

The sword energy missed its target, and only destroyed the tree, but it had no effect on the demon cat leader.

The demon cat leader did not continue attacking, as if he wanted to conserve his strength, but Mr. Ha's attacks continued.

The next moment, following the trajectory of the demon cat leader, it tried hard to release the third sword energy and swung it towards the opponent.

The grass demon cat showed a mocking expression in its eyes, and jumped to dodge again. It was extremely agile, and the sword energy missed again. Its fighting skills were completely beyond the reach of those low-level demon cats.

"Meow!!!" This time the cat successfully dodged, and let out a sharp cry. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen demon cats had gathered and surrounded Lu Ran and the others. Seeing this, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha's hearts stopped.

There are more than a dozen demon cats, and although they do not have awakened attributes, they are all elite demon cats of level 9 to 10.

"I just said——" This was Lu Ran's last words.

"Woo~~ (I will definitely come back!)"

A white light flashed, and ten seconds passed. When the demon cat leader gave the order to attack and more than a dozen demon cats pounced on them, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were directly teleported away.

Exclusive room.

Lu Ran and Mr. Ha sat down on the ground.

"That was a close call." Lu was scared.

Fortunately, these dozen demon cats did not appear with the demon cat leader, otherwise he and Mr. Ha would be in great danger.

But then again, only the demon cat leader has stronger concealment abilities. If they come together, Mr. Ha will definitely be able to discover them in advance.

"Why, do you still want to fight with me?" Lu Ran glanced at Mr. Ha.

"Woof!" Mr. Ha put down the sword in his mouth embarrassedly and showed a clear look.

He said he would follow Lu Ran's arrangements, undergo special training first, and then settle everything later.

It is never too late for the Snow Dog to take revenge.

"What a loss. I only charged the battery for more than four hours." Lu Ran felt pain.

Having said that, it’s so difficult. Even the simple level novice secret realm is so difficult? No wonder Xiaobailong said it’s difficult to play it solo.

Under the circumstances at that time, if he could not escape from the battle, Lu Ran could not think of any better solution except to let Mr. Ha eat a Liuying Fruit and use the Divine Deer Pendant to try to explode.

As for solo clearance...

It seems that I can only wait until Mr. Ha reaches a higher level and masters the energy flow technique before trying again.

The demon cat is very agile, and it is difficult to hit it by releasing sword energy one by one. But if you master the technique of energy flow, you can release sword energy continuously, which should be able to catch the opponent off guard.

or……

Learning the wings of wind and mastering air superiority are both ways to win.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ha hasn’t learned it yet.

Lu Ran took out two wood scale fruits, bit one himself, and threw the other one to Mr. Ha.

At this time, Lu Ran found that he seemed to have a lot of missed calls. Who were they from?

Lu Ran opened the communication interface of the character card.

Pig farmer: [This, this is on the list... How did you do it? ]

Little White Dragon: [Awesome! Congratulations.]

Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [? ]

The Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [Where are you? Are you still in the secret realm? ]

In fact, communication can also be used in the secret realm, but it is only limited to beastmasters who are in a team and in the same secret realm.

Lu Ran is in the secret realm and others are in the outside world, so they cannot contact each other.

Similarly, if Lu Ran is in Infinite City and others are in Blue Star, they cannot contact each other.

"Ah?" Looking at a bunch of messages from people, Lu Ran was a little confused.

"Woof?" Mr. Ha gave him a puzzled look.

"We performed so poorly, and even used weapons, and we can still be on the Divine Pet List? What a joke, the others are so useless."

"Woo!?" Mr. Ha stood up immediately, the haze of being teased by the demon cat dissipated. What? It's on the list? Which number?

"They didn't tell me, I'll ask."

Lu Ran replied to Fang Lan: [I am in the exclusive room, just out of the secret realm. Um, did Mr. Ha make the list? Why are so many people sending me messages? No way, we were miserable in the secret realm, and we were almost killed. ]

Fang Lan replied immediately: [I want to hit you! Don't be so rude to me! But it is indeed on the list, Boss Ha is ranked tenth, and there are only two medium-level extraordinary races among the ten positions. What the hell is sword energy? Compared to you, those reasons for being on the list, such as resisting a difficult boss without dying, controlling the boss for ten seconds, etc., seem to be eclipsed. ]

Lu Ran: [Only the tenth...]

Originally, Lu Ran thought that Mr. Ha would not be able to make the list at the moment, but since he did, wouldn't 10th place be the bottom? Has anyone already reached the difficult novice secret realm? It should be a team, and it must be a newcomer from a month ago, otherwise the progress would not be so fast.

Fang Lan: [You still think it’s too low! You guys were listed at the lowest level.]

Lu Ran smiled: [Really? If you think about it carefully, it's not that high. We relied on extraordinary weapons to fight against the enemy at a higher level, which is considered as external force. I think the points should be reduced a lot. I remember that the Divine Pet Ranking judges the potential of pets based on their performance, right? The reason why Mr. Ha was able to make the list should be because he mastered the energy release technique in just two days. This is the key.]

Fang Lan: [So you guys really did use swords? People at the Beast Taming Square also said so. Pfft! They all say you guys are crooked and frivolous.]

Lu Ran: [Don’t worry about it. Have you forgotten the beast-controlling skill Super Beast Mimicry that I told you about? I don’t want to learn Erha, so I can only let Mr. Ha learn from me... Have you forgotten that when I was learning swordsmanship in the dojo, my master called me a super genius! Unfortunately, I later became interested in shooting, so I stopped learning swordsmanship after two and a half years.]

Fang Lan: [I don’t want to learn from you, Mr. Ha… I feel like you learn swordsmanship better than anyone else. It’s too stupid to let a dog learn swordsmanship.]

Lu Ran: [???]

He didn't want to pay attention to Fang Lan. By the way, where is President Ha? Lu Ran didn't feel any movement from President Ha for a long time.

He turned around and saw Boss Ha lying in the corner dejectedly, drawing circles with his claws, muttering something about being only tenth, actually at the bottom of the list of divine pets, I will remember this grudge...

Lu Ranhan, what, do you still want to dismantle the Divine Pet List one day?
