After a while, Manager Ying left the ruins space angrily, holding the wall and holding a bottle of milk thrown by Lu Ran.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have cremated my projection so early."
At the same time, No. 18, who was hiding behind a tree in the ruins space, poked her head out, looked at the two buckets of cat blood beside Lu Ran's legs, and happily flapped her little wings and flew over, hoping in her heart that Manager Ying would not hold a grudge against her.
All this is dedicated to science...
“It should be fine with these, but I don’t know what the quality is like. After all, it’s just the blood of the clone. Even though there’s not much difference between Manager Ying’s clone and the original body, the quality is definitely not as good as the original. You try it. If it doesn’t work, wait until we return to Blue Star to draw blood from the original body.” Lu Ran handed two buckets of Time Blood to No. 18.
"I'll try." No. 18 was slightly excited. As a scientific research fanatic, he used to think that Manager Ying had no valuable research materials. But now the situation is different. In the eyes of No. 18, Manager Ying's research value is greater than Liudaohua.
【hehe.】
Deep inside the ruins, Liudaohua, who was soaking in the hot spring, curled her lips. In fact, it was she who suggested to No. 18 that the energy source be replaced with Manager Ying's blood. She told No. 18 that it was true that she possessed the trait of breaking through limitations, but her own juice was not an omnipotent resource. Now, it seemed that No. 18 had finally found a new target to trouble.
"Hall of Valor, summon!"
Flying in the air, No. 18 shouted loudly, and the next moment, countless mechanical parts appeared out of thin air behind it, followed by high-speed assembly. In just two seconds, a huge, majestic, and glorious black Chinese-style palace appeared behind No. 18.
Although it is made entirely of mechanical parts, the Valhalla made by No. 18 is ancient and its architectural style was based on the palace that Liudaohua built for Lu Ran and Liudaohua's own underworld.
“Energy replacement.”
In mid-air, No. 18 stretched out her hand and grabbed the Blood of Time, which was wrapped in spatial fluctuations and thrown into the energy room of Valhalla. Then, No. 18 took out the "Relic Branch", an object containing the power of the Tree King's faith.
After the death of the Tree King, she turned her own beast-controlling space into a heritage relic and placed it in a certain place. This was because the Tree King herself was the most powerful human being in the Divine Tree Era. Not only did she protect one area, she was also a peerless beauty. Whether it was to commemorate her or to gain inheritance by improving favorability, there were still many people who believed in her and admired her. The locals even specially organized a "Tree King Festival" to worship the Tree King.
Among the countless worshippers, there are a large number of beastmasters who are sincere. The power of faith generated by them is naturally absorbed by the core of the heritage ruins, the "relic tree branches". During this period of time, the relic tree branches are the primary research object of No. 18, mainly because Lu Ran has nothing else suitable for No. 18 to study.
Gurgle gurgle——————
In the energy room of Valhalla, No. 18 replaced the juice of the six flowers with the blood of the Servant of Time, adjusted some parameters, and immediately started Valhalla running again.
In the energy column, bright red blood kept rolling like boiling magma, combining with the spiritual power injected into Valhalla by No. 18 and the power of faith mobilized from the branches of the ruins.
outside world.
Lu Ran looked at the Hall of Heroes behind No. 18 with great interest. He had actually seen it more than once, but the Tree King Heroic Spirit that No. 18 had manifested in the past… not to mention strength and consciousness, his face was blurry, which was truly a failure.
What about this time? As time went by, the gate of the Hall of Heroes opened, and No. 18 closed his eyes in front of the Hall of Heroes, concentrating 200% of his energy into the core of the machine to operate this huge Heroic Spirit Summoning Machine. As a witness, Lu Ran gradually became serious and looked at the figure walking out of the Hall of Heroes.
"Tree King?"
This figure also walked out with her eyes closed. She had long hair mixed with white and light green, and she had an extraordinary temperament. This time, not only her appearance was extremely clear, but her clothes were also extremely real. The dress with bright gold trim was noble and gorgeous, and the brocade skirt was like flowing water. With the vine leaves representing plants at the end of the white and green gradient ribbon, she looked like a goddess transformed from plants.
When Lu Ran saw this figure, his heart beat faster. Even the shadow of the Tree King he saw at the Tree King ruins was only blurry. But this time... No. 18 used Manager Ying's blood as energy and made the shadow of the Tree King come alive?
Buzz.
The next moment, the Tree King opened her emerald green eyes, and powerful power waves burst out from her. Lu Ran took a deep breath. Even with his powerful background, he actually felt a trace of oppression. What was going on?
But unfortunately, although the Tree King opened his eyes, there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes. At this moment, No. 18 also slowly opened his eyes, revealing an expression of regret and joy.
“It succeeded, but it failed.”
“This time, the Tree King Heroic Spirit possesses a certain degree of power, and its level is the same as mine, which is roughly equivalent to the peak of a Level 5 Beastmaster. However… however, it does not have the Tree King’s own consciousness. Even if it has power, it probably won’t be able to exert it to a passing level. Her power can only be fully exerted by herself, and it can’t be controlled by others.” No. 18 was extremely regretful.
"Oh shit."
Lu Ran listened to what No. 18 said and looked at the Tree King Heroic Spirit. He just felt it was outrageous that Manager Ying’s blood was really useful.
Before Lu Ran could be too surprised, outside, the recuperating divine deer and pine god opened their eyes at the same time, revealing puzzled expressions, and looked in the direction of the space of the Tree King ruins.
Without hesitation, they immediately came to the spatial coordinates of the ruins space. Although both sides had the ability to forcibly break into Lu Ran's ruins space, Lu Ran was the messenger of time after all. Even though they were very confused, they still called Lu Ran first.
"I didn't pay attention to this different space before, but now it seems that it is indeed very similar to the fluctuations in her royal space." Shenlu said.
"Yes." Song Shen also looked surprised and said, "This Messenger of Time can even obtain the inheritance of the Void Leaf and the contract of the Six Path Flower. It's not surprising that he got her ruins space. But, if I'm not mistaken about the fluctuation just now... Could it be that she has also been resurrected?"
The divine deer and the song god were frightened. Manager Ying, who was drinking milk, was stunned for a moment and then returned to this sad place.
The outside boss called the door. Lu Ran, who was inside the relic space, was startled and realized that they might have been attracted by the Tree King Heroic Spirit. However, it was just the Tree King Heroic Spirit. Would the divine deer have such a big reaction? Lu Ran said nothing and opened the entrance to the relic space, inviting the divine deer in. It was just right that since they were here, he could let the divine deer guide No. 18 on how to use the power of faith!
Although the Divine Deer and the Pine God did not become gods through the power of faith, they have many objects of faith. As the maintainers of stability on the continent, they have saved countless lives from dire straits. A single Lujia Village can provide the Divine Deer with a lot of power of faith, not to mention the power of faith accumulated over countless years on the Star-Moon Continent.
However, since they did not become gods through faith, their ability to use the power of faith was far inferior to that of the faith life forms that had been focusing on the power of faith. They had a solid foundation of faith, but could not use it 100%, which was considered incompatible. Their core ability was the system of dependent power that could draw on the power of the four great dragons! But even so, they were not comparable to a little Karami like No. 18. After all, No. 18 had only been studying the power of faith for more than a month, and it was just research.
"It's her indeed."
"Is this state a spirit? A thought body? An illusion? But it seems to have no consciousness."
After the divine deer and the pine god came in, they saw the tree king speak unexpectedly.
Then, they looked towards Valhalla behind No. 18 with thoughtful expressions.
"Messenger of Time, what did you do to the 'Messenger of the God of Flowers'?" asked the divine deer.
Lu Ran scratched his head and said, "I didn't do anything. I just wanted to see if I could revive the 'Flower God Messenger' as a heroic spirit."
"But it seems that it has failed."
Shenlu and Songshen looked at Manager Ying.
What do you mean? This skill that disturbs yin and yang will be targeted by the followers of the Death Dragon.
But you are the family of time, and we are all colleagues, so it shouldn’t be a problem to turn a blind eye.
"..." Manager Ying's heart twitched. What the hell did she mean!!! She is also a victim, okay!!! "It's not what I meant, it should be Liudaohua's intention." Manager Ying said lightly.
Liudaohua: [? ]
"I see." The divine deer and the pine god nodded.
"Sister Rikka should still be concerned about the 'Battle between the God of Plants and the God of Beasts'." Song Shen said.
There were two legendary wars between the God of Plants and the God of Beasts. One was the war to open up an era led by the Divine Tree, the Six Path Flower and the Void Leaf. This war ended the Beast Taming Era and ushered in the Divine Tree and Plant Era.
Ten thousand years later, the second all-out war broke out, led by the sacred tree and the new plant gods. This battle ended the era of the sacred tree. Both sides were severely damaged, giving humans the opportunity to rise and ushering in the mechanical age.
Shenlu and Songshen saw what Manager Ying and Lu Ran meant... They wanted to resurrect Liudaohua and the person in front of them... Are they going to fight the third legendary war?
Still think the stars and the moon are not chaotic enough? The two followers were silent, always feeling that something was wrong.
Are this cat and this person really the dragon's followers and their messengers?
"In short, the Time Maintainer is really talented enough to revive this legendary plant master in this form." Shenlu looked at Manager Ying. He didn't believe that Manager Ying didn't intervene. No. 18 was just a high-level Overlord machine. How could it be possible to revive the legendary plant master? Although it was not the intention of the Time Maintainer, the Time Maintainer was probably involved! Only the power of time from Lord Time Dragon could hope to do such a thing.
Manager Ying: “…”
“Wait, wait a minute?” Lu Ran was suddenly startled and asked, “Legendary Imperial Plant Master?”
"Wasn't it epic when the Tree King died?"
"Hmm?" The Divine Deer and the Pine God were stunned and looked at the Tree King Spirit carefully.
The divine deer said: "I was negligent. Although the power fluctuations are consistent, it seems that it is her previous life."
It looked at Lu Ran and said, "That's right. The Time Maintainer has lost most of her memories. Even if she hasn't lost her memories, she has not been in Xingyue for many years, and the God of the Six Paths of Reincarnation did not participate in the Second Race Legend War. It seems that you just regard her as the 'Tree King'."
"The Tree King is a legendary messenger chosen by the Flower God, but because he suffers from a rare time disease, he can only reincarnate under the arrangement of the Flower God."
"The reincarnated 'Tree King' is the 'Legendary Royal Plant Master' in history."
"Of course, this information is known by very few people, and even fewer people know about it. It is understandable that you are not aware of it."
"Not to mention this information, the legendary royal plant master didn't even record her own name in history because she thought the new name given to her by the 'Flower God' was ugly. She was very mysterious throughout." Song Shen looked at the spirit of the Tree King and laughed wildly.
Lu Ran opened his mouth slightly.
Holy crap!!!
He looked at the unconscious spirit of the Tree King.
No wonder this guy said “We’ll see each other again one day in the future” when he passed on his legacy to himself.
It seems that she herself knows that she is going to be reincarnated.
Speaking of which, according to orthodox historical records, it was "the legendary royal plant master" who conquered the "Tree King Relics" and obtained the Tree King's inheritance.
It turns out that I took my own inheritance.
This is how normal history goes, but when he was breaking through the secret realm, he was intercepted by himself...but the Tree King didn't care.
Unfortunately, if that was the orthodox history, I might really meet the legendary Tree King again in the future. The Tree King would never have thought that he would actually be a projection.
"What name did the Flower God give to the Tree King after his reincarnation, and why did the Tree King dislike it?" Lu Ran asked.
Song Shen reached into his personal space and took out a piece of food. He said, "This is it. Since the Tree King was reincarnated with the help of the Flower God, the Flower God named the young Tree King 'Peanut'."
"When she grew up, the Tree King disliked this name and traveled around the continent as 'Anonymous', which made all the information about her very mysterious."
“However, in the last legendary battle, she was quite active, and suppressed quite a few beast gods. She is worthy of being a god’s messenger trained by the daughter of the sacred tree.” Song Shen smacked his lips.
Peanuts…Lu Ran’s mouth twitched.
The Flower God, Lu Ran was familiar with it. Later he learned that the Flower God's race was the "World Flower". She was the flower with the strongest vitality on the main branch of the sacred tree. She was born under the enlightenment of the sacred tree and was considered the daughter of the sacred tree. According to the development of breaking through the secret realm, he was going to practice with the Flower God after receiving the inheritance of the Tree King, but unfortunately, the secret realm ended abruptly.
The connection between Lu Ran and the Flower God goes beyond that. In the breakthrough secret realm of the mechanical age, he also obtained a drop of Flower God's honey. The Flower God's honey is the growth resource that the Flower God has gathered to train warriors.
In other words, the flower god was enlightened by the sacred tree to replace the sacred tree and take charge of the overall situation during the period when the sacred tree was recuperating and in seclusion.
"Yeah."
While Lu Ran was communicating with Song Shen and others, No. 18 tried to command the Tree King Spirit.
Buzz! Driven by the power of the heroic spirit, not only was the Tree King materialized, but the Tree King could even summon his contracted pet. As a Fengnian Dragon was summoned, Manager Ying next to him was completely paralyzed.
It knew that its blood... would inevitably be drawn frequently in the future.
…………
After figuring out what was going on with the anomaly on Lu Ran's side, Shenlu and Songshen left the ruins space.
After they left, Lu Ran became even more excited, even though No. 18 was already hanging on the tree exhausted and the spirit of the tree king had dissipated.
“Well done, very well done.”
"Judging from the energy fluctuations just now, there are definitely few rivals among the same level dominant races."
"No. 18, continue to improve Valhalla. It would be best if the Tree King could regain her self-awareness. This way, her combat power will be even stronger."
"If your combat power meets the requirements, you will be allowed to participate in the World War."
"About the incident where my pet summoned the beastmaster during the game and then the beastmaster summoned the pet again."
Lu Ran was already looking forward to his opponent's confused expression.
"Got it..." No. 18 also said excitedly on the tree.
“Hey, hey, hey——” The only one who didn’t feel excited was Manager Ying. She was a little speechless. The so-called perfect Valhalla… Why did she feel that in the end it would still end up squeezing her blood?
"Lu Ran, could you please take care of No. 18? Look how tired and thin the child is!" Manager Ying was furious and spoke up for No. 18.
"Research tasks come one after another. They are more heartless than capitalists. Look how they exploit the children."
Lu Ran curled his lips and said, "Why do you think Mr. Ha and the others have the strength they have now? That's because they used countless parts to exchange. If I played house with pets every day, I might not even be able to beat Pluto now, and I would have been killed by the mutant beasts long ago."
The broken horns of the sacred deer are only useful when the pet is injured. If they are handed over to a beastmaster who gets extremely anxious when his pet gets bumped into, they will not be of much use.
"If you don't exploit yourself and be a little harder on yourself, how can you break through yourself?"
"I've been very good to No. 18. At least it doesn't lose teeth, scales, or go blind like Mr. Ha, King Death, and Dark Crow. Right, No. 18."
"Master is right, I didn't work hard enough, but who is Pluto?" No. 18 flew up again, looking at the place where Manager Ying had just inserted the needle with fiery eyes.
The main reason was that she had nothing to sacrifice. How about burning two CPUs? But she felt that even the fire of life could not save her.
After No. 18 finished speaking, Lu Ran looked at Manager Ying with a smile, meaning that he should accept his fate.
Smart No. 18 will not drink your harmful chicken soup and miss the opportunity to make progress.
Manager Ying: ???
Damn, this is a black-hearted beastmaster and a bunch of stupid pets that have been successfully PUA’d.
A few days later! Lu Ran cooked soul food with the soul of the nine-tailed fox and recreated a soul clone at super high speed.
Otherwise, if you want to cultivate a soul clone of sufficient strength again, it will take at least a month of soul strengthening to complete it.
The main reason is that foxes are also canines. Devouring the souls of canines is of great help to Lu Ran in condensing the soul clone of the dog demon.
Lu Ran felt that this time the soul clone was even more powerful than the last time, and it might allow Mr. Ha to remain at the mid-level legend for a longer period of time.
"It's almost time, let's go find Song Shen and the others to hunt for our next target." Lu Ran's eyes flickered.
outside world.
The divine deer and the pine god were decisively awakened by Lu Ran, and they also knew that Lu Ran was very anxious.
To use the explanation of Manager Ying and Lu Ran, "The time tunnel cannot be left unattended for a long time. We must return to our posts as soon as possible. Who knows if there will be another time traveler trying to pass through the time tunnel again."
According to this statement, even if Shenlu and Songshen are in poor condition, they can only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.
"The nine-tailed fox has been dealt with. Next, should we hunt 'Taotie' or 'Qiongqi'?" asked Song Shen.
"Taotie, water element, integrated dark element, this guy is good at devouring, even the enemy's attacks can be eaten, and the digestion ability is also very terrifying. No matter how much he swallows, his skills will not affect himself. He eats wantonly in various places all year round."
"Qiongqi, fire element, integrated undead system, extremely vicious beast, feeds on evil energy, and is restrained by good energy, so it hates extraordinary creatures with good energy, is close to evil beasts, and punishes good and promotes evil."
"I suggest that we start with Qiongqi first. The Goddess of the Six Paths of Reincarnation controls both the forces of good and evil. She can be said to be Qiongqi's grandmother. I only need to assist gently from the side. Sister Liudaohua can kill it instantly with the skills enhanced by the energy of good!!"
After knowing that Lu Ran had contracted the Six Paths Flower, Song Shen felt a lot more relieved. With the Six Paths Flower as his backup, there was no way he could fail in his fight against the lower-level legends, even if the Six Paths Flower hadn't recovered its strength.
What's more, this wave is still attribute restraint! "Let me think about it." Lu Ran thought, and then said to the God Deer and Song Shen: "Let's hunt the white-headed and barefooted giant ape first!!"
"I like to call it... Zhu Yan!"
"Ah?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking, and asked, "What about it?"
"This guy is very strong."
With the power to seal the lower legend, it still has the energy to act.
But if it seals a mid-level legend, not only will the sealing power be greatly reduced, but it will also be difficult for it to move at that time.
"Let's do it first." Lu Ran said, "I have a feeling that doing it first is the best option."
"Premonition?" Song Shen was stunned. If someone else mentioned premonition, he would definitely think it was nonsense, but if it was the messenger of time, then maybe there was something to it.
Song Shen looked at Manager Ying.
Manager Ying also nodded and said, "Although I don't know why, I also think it is safer to hunt this Zhu Yan first."
Shenlu was in deep thought, not understanding why Lu Ran and Manager Ying both said so.
In fact, the reason why Manager Ying and Lu Ran said this is because of the breakthrough task of breaking through the secret realm! It won’t be long before the breakthrough task is settled.
Although, hunting quasi-legends may also have an SSS score, hunting lower-level legends may also have an SSS score, hunting mid-level legends may still have an SSS score, and the highest score is SSS. However, according to research, the rewards for the legendary secret realm are related to the BOSS, and the rewards for breaking through the secret realm are related to the trial-taker's experience in the secret realm!
In other words, if Lu Ran’s final mission target is Taotie, then the settlement reward will most likely be traits, skills, and resources related to Taotie.
In that case, in order to get better rewards, why doesn’t Lu Ran hunt the stronger Zhu Yan?
A mid-level legend, with the assistance of Song Shen and Shenlu, plus a group fight, is almost the limit of what Lu Ran and his friends can challenge.
Take a gamble and the bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.
Don’t waste time on Taotie, Qiongqi and the like. Just kill the final BOSS first, and then use the remaining exploration time to slowly deal with these little Karami.
"Zhu Yan...hunting it would be risky."
"But this guy is indeed more troublesome than the other two guys."
"It just leaked its power. The loss of Star and Moon Fire is several times that caused by other fierce beasts."
Song Shen murmured.
“I know.” Lu Ran nodded. He had discovered that most of the ferocious beasts in the ancient times of Blue Star were the strange beasts recorded in the Shan Hai Jing of later generations.
Among the strange beasts in Shanhaijing, at the bottom of the list are various ferocious beasts that eat humans, such as the Four Evils and the Qiongqi.
The mid-range ones are strange beasts that can cause super phenomena when they appear.
For example, once Zhu Yan appears, a great war will break out in the world. As Song Shen said, it is just the leakage of power, which triggered the totem war in ancient times. It feeds on "war" and caused countless deaths and injuries in the ancient land.
As for the one at the top, Lu Ran estimated that it must be someone like Zhulong, standing at the pinnacle of the ancient land of Blue Star, with terrifying magical powers.
Zhulong is definitely not to be provoked, no matter how unique its power is. Lu Ran has no idea, after all, his life is his own. However, the middle-level legend Zhu Yan mentioned by Song Shen... Lu Ran plans to give it a try.
Mid-level legend, even if you can’t win, at the very least you can escape, right?
If the situation turns bad, Lu Ran plans to use the time fruit in this place.
"Don't worry, we still have a trump card. What we showed before was not our limit." Lu Ran said to Song Shen and the others.
"What?" Song Shen was surprised. Is there any trump card?
"Yeah." Lu Ran smiled slightly and said, "I also have a divine control skill that can allow pets to reach the middle legendary level for a short period of time."
"Besides that, as a time messenger, I must have some time resources. I also have a time fruit that can temporarily and significantly increase the growth level of my pet, which is always useful."
The Divine Deer and the Pine God were silent. No wonder Lu Ran dared to say that he was going to hunt Zhu Yan. They had never seen such a great thing in their lives that a fifth-level beastmaster could have such a strong foundation.
"That..." Song Shen looked at Manager Ying, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Could it be that the sister who maintains time has committed embezzlement? She used the ability to travel through time given by Lord Time Dragon to cheat the messengers she chose, such as obtaining the inheritance of the dead Void Leaf and resurrecting the God of Six Paths of Reincarnation. This was not normal no matter how you looked at it.
"Don't look at me." Manager Ying turned around and said, "I don't remember anything."
"Then let's give it a try." The divine deer spoke slowly: "The existence of these evil gods really affects the inheritance of the Star-Moon Fire Seed. If one gets out of control, the Star-Moon Fire Seed may be destroyed. Even if we can't hunt them, it would be good to weaken them and seal them for thousands of years."
“Yeah.” Lu Ran smiled slightly. If the hunt for the God of War, Zhu Yan, is successful, I wonder what kind of reward this guy can bring to me. In short, the final harvest of this breakthrough in the secret realm depends on it.
