"ah?"

"What?"

The pre-war supply rewards for the world war have been announced, and it can be said that 19 people are happy and 1 is sad.

Evolution Crystal, after using it, the pet's race level will definitely be upgraded to quasi-legendary! Once this reward was announced, it's no wonder that the beast masters in both worlds went crazy.

The evolutionary resources that can raise the racial level of a pet to quasi-legendary level must be of at least legendary quality, and the attributes must match, similar to the Heart of the Wind God that Lu Ran obtained.

And now, Infinite City plans to directly distribute 20 such resources, with no attribute restrictions, which is really a big deal.

Even though these 20 people are the strongest beastmasters in the two worlds, not all of them have quasi-legendary status.

Who doesn’t want to have a quasi-legendary pet?

Even if there is already one, adding one more would be an epic enhancement! But for Lu Ran, it's a bit painful.

Because among his contracted pets, except for Rainbow Dash and No. 18, all others are already quasi-legendary.

With Cat's training, it wasn't difficult for Rainbow Dash to reach quasi-legendary status without relying on evolution crystals.

As for No. 18, she has not yet undergone the second stage of evolution, and the time resources have not yet been integrated. Even if she is cultivated normally, Lu Ran is confident that he can cultivate her to the quasi-legendary level, and the evolution crystal is still of little significance.

Unlike most representative beastmasters, it is extremely difficult to train a quasi-legend.

Therefore, this evolution crystal has little effect on Lu Ran's enhancement.

However, the increase for the other 9 people from Blue Star and 10 people from Star Moon was particularly huge.

In this way, each of the 10 people in Xingyue will have at least one quasi-legend, and Lu Ran's combat pressure will also increase dramatically! "Not absolutely." Lu Ran put down his phone, looked at the ceiling, and murmured: "I don't know if the evolution crystal can be used on pets and dependents."

"If we can strengthen the sword spirit, sword grass, and lightsaber to quasi-legendary level, it will be a great boost to Mr. Ha."

"But if it can only be used for 'contracted pets', it doesn't matter. I can use the beast control space to temporarily contract Mr. Ha and his followers and use the evolution crystal."

"The most important thing is whether the resource 'Evolution Crystal' is bound. If it is not bound and can be given as a gift, then we can find a way to buy the Evolution Crystals of the four ancient predecessors... The more the better, and all the followers can also be quasi-legendary."

Lu Ran thought of many possibilities, but there was no way to verify them now. After all, the rewards for participating in the battle would not be distributed to the final participants until the Battle of Kings event was over and before the World War began.

The final list has not yet been finalized, and there is still nearly two months of change period. Now that Infinite City has revealed such rewards, the beastmasters of the two worlds will surely compete even harder for the top ten representative positions.

"According to the time, Fang Lan should be coming out of the breakthrough secret realm soon. Now, we can't give up the top ten seat."

…………

In a breakthrough secret realm.

A woman wearing an alien costume made of poisonous silk looked up at the sky. It was Fang Lan.

It has been almost a month, and although the breakthrough mission has been completed, Fang Lan still feels very dreamy.

If Lu Ran were here, he would be very surprised, because the background of the breakthrough secret realm that Fang Lan entered was also the ancient Blue Star! The Blue Star... slowly became a regular breakthrough dungeon! "With my current strength, it should be no problem to defeat some first-generation first-class players." Fang Lan rolled up his purple hair, smiled, pushed open the gate of the tribe, and looked at the platform.

She walked to a higher place. Under the platform, countless humans knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "It has a nine-headed snake body and eats countless people. Wherever it goes, it turns into a swamp. The Saint has come to the world, pity us, bless all things, and eliminate demons. We are willing to follow the Saint, kill Xiangliu, and restore peace and order to the world!"

[Kill the big-headed ghost.] Fang Lan looked at the group of believers in front of him and sighed.

But to be honest, these people have done a lot for me during this period of time, so it was not in vain that I saved them.

This time when she entered the breakthrough secret realm, her breakthrough mission type was "searching for objects".

[Breakthrough Mission: Find the 'Breakthrough Stone' to complete the breakthrough and become a Level 5 Beast Tamer.]

[Hint ①: There are 521 Breakthrough Stones in total, distributed in dangerous places around the world. The trial-taker will temporarily obtain the coordinates of all Breakthrough Stones.]

[Tip ②: Each breakthrough stone has different difficulty levels and different levels of danger around it. The more dangerous the environment where the breakthrough stone is located, the higher the breakthrough score will be after obtaining it! ]

【Hint ③: ……】

This is a breakthrough mission to fight against the harsh natural environment. Fang Lan now has obtained the animal taming skill of "King of Imperial Plants" and has the overlord plant pets, the Mother Tree of All Poisons and the overlord Undead Poison Whip. It can be said that it is easy for him to conquer a fourth-level breakthrough secret realm.

However, like Lu Ran, Fang Lan was naturally unwilling to get only an ordinary score with such a solid background. Pursuing an SSS score was what every powerful beastmaster wanted to do.

And Fang Lan finally chose the target breakthrough stone, which was in a poisonous swamp!

This place is extremely dangerous. According to Fang Lan's understanding, this poisonous swamp was created by Xiangliu, the evil god in the legends and myths of the Xia Kingdom.

Rumor has it that the Xiangliu snake has nine heads and is so huge that it can eat on nine hills at the same time. It constantly vomits venom to form a foul-smelling swamp. The stench it emits can even easily kill passing strange beasts. It is extremely poisonous and ferocious.

Because the evil god Xiangliu was eating people everywhere and caused poisonous swamps, human tribes in many places were suffering.

This kind of poisonous land caused by the legendary evil spirit is not something that a fourth-level beastmaster, let alone a legendary beastmaster, would want to take a second look at.

Even though Fang Lan was now the number one poison-type beastmaster on Blue Star, he was forced back several times by the power of the poisonous swamp before he was able to obtain the breakthrough stone and complete the breakthrough.

The score is undoubtedly SSS.

Fang Lan also received a reward that surprised her greatly.

[Name]: Blood of Xiangliu [Level]: Epic [Introduction]: Exclusive evolutionary resource. After the fusion of the venomous snake, you can awaken the bloodline of Xiangliu and evolve towards Xiangliu.

With this resource, Fang Lan immediately gave it to his contracted poisonous snake. From then on, the vicious environment left by the evil god Xiang Liu was no longer a dangerous place for Fang Lan, but a treasure land for cultivation.

After stopping and walking along the way, Fang Lan gained a lot of strength. She also rescued a group of NPCs and asked them to help her collect resources. She once again became a saint in the secret realm.

However, facing the flattery of these followers, Fang Lan rejected it in his heart.

[Asking me to kill Xiangliu himself, what a joke! The venom and blood it left behind are enough to give me a headache. If I am not a legendary beastmaster, I will never be able to deal with these evil spirits.]

[This time, I was able to obtain the resources left behind by legendary creatures in the breakthrough secret realm. This is already a great improvement for me. Even compared to Lu Ran, I am not much worse! ]

Fang Lan was extremely excited. She had previously found it incredible when she learned that Lu Ran had obtained various legendary biological resources by breaking through the secret realm, but now, she had finally done it.

Add to that the mysterious background of the ancient blue planet... She believed that after she went out this time and told Lu Ran about this experience, he would be shocked.

…………

Soon.

Fang Lan, who broke through to become a fifth-level beastmaster, returned with Xiao Xiangliu who was nurtured and evolved in the secret realm.

After returning, she contacted Lu Ran first.

"You finally came out." Lu Ran answered the call and said, "I have a decision and want to tell you."

"Listen to me first." Fang Lan couldn't wait to say, "Guess which era the breakthrough secret realm I entered this time was from!!!"

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "Ancient Blue Star?"

Fang Lan: ??? "No, how did you know??? You installed surveillance cameras on me!"

"Yeah. Because not long ago I also entered the breakthrough secret realm with the background of the Ancient Blue Star. Later, two more groups of Blue Star Beastmasters broke through and said they entered the Ancient Blue Star."

"You are so excited, I think you have probably entered..." Lu Ran said: "You can find out by searching the Internet for relevant information."

"?" Fang Lan was speechless. She said, "It turns out that I'm not the first one..."

Lu Ran smiled: "So, the breakthrough mission went smoothly."

Fang Lan became excited again and said, "Guess what I encountered."

"Hmm? Wait a minute." Fang Lan was suddenly startled and asked tentatively, "You said you also entered the ancient blue star breakthrough secret realm. What did you do this time?"

Lu Ran said casually: "Nothing."

"I killed three level 100 lower legendary evil spirits, one level 100 middle legendary evil spirit, and brought back a legendary auspicious beast egg."

"What's wrong?"

Fang Lan: “…”

Beep, beep…

Lu Ran looked at the hung up call and was slightly stunned. He hung up on me again! On the other side.

Fang Lan sat down on the ground, counting his fingers with a confused look on his face.

What a joke! She just cracked the route of the evil god Xiangliu... and she got an SSS score.

Lu Ran, this guy, actually killed several fierce gods similar to Xiang Liu? ? ? Is this something a human can do? ? ? Because she trusted Lu Ran so much, Fang Lan did not suspect that Lu Ran was lying, and because of this, she was confused.

…………

After a long time, Fang Lan, who had recovered, got in touch with Lu Ran again.

"I want you to become the messenger of the God of Seals, Song Shen, and then strengthen your strength so that you can defeat Orb of the Condor."

"Take a look at the rewards for the World War team. They're pretty good. Don't miss them."

"Aub?" Fang Lan said, "As the father of Blue Star's machinery, his strength should be considered top-notch in the entire Blue Star."

"You can do it." Lu Ran said confidently: "No matter how strong he is, he is not as good as a quasi-legendary mechanical pet. You have now broken through to level 5. If the pet's growth level goes up, it can evolve to the second stage. Your Ten Thousand Poison Mother Tree is already a high-level overlord. This second stage evolution will allow Liuhua to perform a legendary blessing evolution, and it is expected to reach the quasi-legendary level."

Fang Lan's Ten Thousand Poisons Mother Tree was awakened to intelligence with the help of the Six Paths Flower, so it can be said to be passed down from generation to generation.

"Besides that, I don't believe that Song Shen doesn't have any gift for meeting you..."

During this breakthrough in the secret realm, Lu Ran saw that Song Shen had his own little treasury!

Time is running out.

Lu Ran quickly took Fang Lan across the world and came to Xingyue.

However, when he came to Xingyue this time, Lu Ran always felt that something was different.

Although the avatar of the God of Song was still staying in the altar, when Lu Ran found it, he saw that it had a sad face.

"Matsu-shen? Matsu-shen?"

Lu Ran called out several times before the little squirrel came back to its senses. It looked at Lu Ran and Fang Lan with an ugly smile.

"What's with that expression on your face? What happened?"

Song Shen looked at Lu Ran with a serious expression and said, “Yes.”

“It’s over.”

"Finally...Finally, the Space Demon God broke the seal and escaped."

“Oh my god.” Lu Ran asked in shock: “What about your original body?”

Song Shen's clone said, "The main body is fine, just weak, and the Space Demon God is almost the same. In order to break the seal, it must have consumed a lot of energy. After escaping, it did not deal with me for too long, but left directly. I guess it went to recuperate."

“I have no idea what it’s thinking.”

"Anyway, if it comes back for revenge after recuperation, we will be in big trouble." Song Shen rolled around with his head in his hands.

"Wuwuwu Space Dragon God Daddy, I miss you."

"..." Lu Ran pondered for a moment. It was indeed a big trouble. A demon god of the upper space would probably be difficult to deal with even if there were only a few followers left working together.

"Don't worry too much."

Lu Ran smiled slightly: "Liu Daohua, now he has been promoted to the middle-level legend. I think it will take a few years to recover the power of the previous life and reach the 100-level upper legend. Maybe when the Space Demon God recovers, we can help you beat the Space Demon God."

Song Shen widened his eyes and said, "Yes, that's right."

The messenger, Sister Shenlu, is a pervert.

There are six flowers guarding the way!

"Also, Lord Shenlu and I have found the reincarnation of Time's Familiar. Although it encountered some accidents and its strength and memory were affected, its power... is gradually recovering."

"What?!!" Song Shen was even more surprised. That mysterious follower of time?

When Lu Ran was talking, Fang Lan's head beside him was also buzzing. What the hell, the legendary Six Paths Flower? ? ? The Dependent of Time? ? ? What has Lu Ran done recently...

Fang Lan opened his mouth slightly, then decided to lie down completely and let Lu Ran arrange everything.

"In short, Song Shen, relax. It's not time to despair yet."

"Okay..." Song Shen didn't ask any further questions. After being comforted by Lu Ran, he felt much better.

It looked at Fang Lan and said, "Lu Ran, is this the messenger you brought to me?"

"Why do I feel like I'm not very strong."

Fang Lan's face puffed up and turned slightly red. What do you mean he doesn't look very strong? He is obviously very strong.

After all, he is the number one poison master on Blue Planet!

Lu Ran coughed dryly and said, "She will have at least two quasi-legends in the future, but the time has not come yet, so she is considered very strong."

"Is this true?!" Song Shen was stunned.

Well... the initial race of the Mother Tree of Ten Thousand Poisons is the Overlord. After fusing 6 characteristics for the second stage of evolution, it must be the limit of the Overlord. At this time, it has the help of the middle-level legendary Six Paths Flower to evolve and develop potential. If it cannot reach the quasi-legendary level, then it must be that Fang Lan’s cultivation has gone wrong.

When Fang Lan gets another evolution crystal, it won't be difficult to evolve another one. That's two now.

"Hello, Lord Songshen!" Fang Lan stepped forward: "I will definitely become a qualified messenger!"

"Okay, okay, it's you. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you have weaknesses. My original body has escaped, so I can teach you a few tricks." Song Shen just finished speaking, and seemed to think of something else, and said: "By the way, Lu Ran, don't stay in Xingyue for too long!!!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran was puzzled.

"The God of War under the Chaos Dragon God seems to have awakened as well. He is looking for something under the full moon and stars. I have a feeling he is looking for you!"

Lu Ran’s expression froze.

Depend on.

Why am I being chased all over the world by legendary beasts?

If the God of War wakes up, he might indeed come looking for me.

Because the existence of the Six Paths Flower has been exposed through the legendary secret realm, although the Star-Moon Beastmaster believes that the Six Paths Flower is just a similar race to the Six Paths God of Reincarnation, even if it is a similar race, the Chaos Dragon God will definitely want to strangle it in the cradle after hearing about it.

After all, the Six Paths Flower poses too great a threat to the Beast God.

In addition, letting King Sudden Death fuse with the blood of the Chaos Dragon God might also attract the attention of the Chaos Dragon God. Although the Divine Turtle helped to purify it, no one can say for sure about such things. Lu Ran always prepared for the worst.

"I understand. I won't let the other party find me easily."

"Then next, I will take Fang Lan back first. When the time is right, Lord Songshen, you can come to Blue Star in your real body and teach her there." Lu Ran said.

"Okay, okay." Song Shen nodded. As for his real body, it would be a good opportunity for him to go to Blue Star to avoid the limelight.

Besides, it also wants to meet the reincarnation of the Time Keeper! What kind of a boss is he?

"Sister Shenlu is doing well in Blue Star."

"Yeah...she sleeps very soundly over there."

Still hasn't woken up.

…………

Lu Ran ran away decisively. On Xingyue's side, the God of Battle awakened, the Space Demon God broke the seal, and the God of Dreams was also chasing him. It was too chaotic. Lu Ran felt that Blue Star was better.

Now that he is in a lot of trouble, Lu Ran hopes that the Infinite City authority he will obtain by then will be more powerful. Only in this way can he get rid of these threats.

The land of stars and moon.

A giant tiger has been walking in the void for dozens of days, visiting every corner of the stars and the moon, and has made detailed explorations of some alien time and space. Except for some inaccessible places, it can be said that it has reached the extreme.

This giant tiger was none other than the god of battle under the command of the Chaos Dragon God. After sensing the birth of the Dragon God's bloodline, it immediately woke up and searched for the King of Sudden Death, wanting to kill the being that had fused with the Dragon God's blood.

Unfortunately, facing Lu Ran, who had been in Blue Star and Infinite City for a long time and had time and space shielding skills, even though the God of Battle was very powerful, he was unable to find any trace of Lu Ran.

The God of Battle traveled all over the stars and the moon, feeling increasingly unhappy. And during his exploration, just as Lu Ran had guessed, by listening to the sounds of all things, he heard some news that was even more difficult for him to accept.

A plant life called "Six Paths of Samsara Flower" appeared! Perhaps these later lives were not aware of the fame of the Six Paths of Samsara Flower, but how could the God of Battle not know that the Six Paths of Samsara Flower had joined hands with the Void Leaf and the God Tree to rise up in resistance, and had killed countless beast gods that were as strong as it or even stronger than it.

The God of Battle was filled with fear at the thought of the terrifying power of the Six Paths Flower.

Regardless of whether the Six Paths Flower that suddenly appeared was a reincarnation or a similar race, the God of Battle would not allow this great enemy of the Beast God to survive in the world.

But... just like the King of Sudden Death, the God of Battle could not find any trace of the Six Paths Flower!

After a series of studies, the God of War felt that it might be related to the sudden appearance of the strange facility "Infinite City".

After a period of time, the God of Battle also understood what the Infinite City was like, but unfortunately, he did not have the authority to enter the Infinite City.

"The guy who evolved with the blood of the Dragon God."

"As well as the Six Paths Flower and the King of Beast Tamers, they must have been hiding in the Infinite Castle, which is why I couldn't find them."

"This won't work. If they keep hiding in Infinite City, they can grow easily."

"I need a human messenger to enter the Infinite City on my behalf. Even if I cannot kill them, I must help me find them. When Lord Dragon God revives, I will be able to enter the Infinite City easily."

Originally, it would be a good choice to directly attack the human base and capture the strongest human being as your messenger.

However, this is not the first time that the God of Battle has awakened. It had awakened once in the Mechanical Age. Then, it was suppressed by the mechanical torrent of the Mechanical Age due to its arrogance and fell into sleep again in disgrace.

The God of Battle became very wary at the thought of the terrifying mechanical system, fearing that the Star-Moon Republic still had some cards up its sleeve. It was not prepared to engage in a head-on conflict with the human race until the Chaos Dragon God awakened.

So... just choose a marginal legendary beastmaster as your slave.

…………

Blue star.

After Lu Ran returned, he continued to train pets and cultivate the team step by step.

The other pets are fine, just increase their growth levels normally, but No. 18 is the only one that needs extra attention.

After all, among the contracted pets, she is the only one who has not yet evolved to the second stage.

If Lu Ran does not plan to contract a new pet, then before the World War, he only needs to improve the combat power of No. 18.

Lu Ran thinks this is relatively easy.

No. 18 is the one in Lu Ran’s team who causes Lu Ran the least worries.

If other pets want to be promoted to quasi-legendary races, Lu Ran has to look for legendary resources and seek blessings from gods, but here on No. 18, there is no need for that at all.

The mechanical system has the inherent ability to integrate all abilities. For example, Yunbao relied on the integrated power of the mechanical system to integrate the attributes of various elements and was promoted to quasi-legendary.

Although Yunbao is planning to change her track with the help of Manager Ying, she can still be promoted to Quasi-Legend if she awakens the Mechanical Department.

The same is true for No. 18. She has awakened the attributes of undead and space one after another, and will awaken the attribute of time next. With so many powerful attributes, as long as No. 18 integrates them herself, her promotion to quasi-legend is inevitable.

It is precisely because of this incredible feature of the mechanical system that the human race in the mechanical age can suppress all other races.

However, it is not easy for mechanical life forms to integrate their forces. They must master core technologies, and Lu Ran and the others do not have to worry about this.

After all, they have plundered most of the core technological crystals of the Divine Research Institute, and its research on mechanics can be said to be as complete as an encyclopedia.

"After No. 18 has successively merged and awakened the 'Mechanical Heart', 'Space System', 'Necromancy System', 'Lord of Blood', and the 'Time System' which has not yet merged, it still lacks one trait or one attribute resource to complete the second stage of evolution."

"For the last one, in order to make the Heroic Spirit Summoning Skill more powerful in all aspects, the Strength of Faith trait is the best. However, after so much research, No. 18 has not found any relevant traits."

"Forget it, let's take this trait first. This is also suitable for fusion with No. 18. There are only a few days left before the auction ends."

Lu Ran entered Infinite City and came to the auction house.

One of the infrastructures for the renewal of Infinite City is the auction house, where beastmasters can list the resources they want to auction. Other beastmasters can choose to bid with crystal coins or choose "barter". Ultimately, it is up to the auctioneer behind the scenes to decide what resources will be used to bid for their items.

Lu Ran took a fancy to one of the resources, called "Special Crystal (Copy)".

It is not about copying the skills of other pets, but the ability to copy resources.

[Effect]: A pet with this trait can copy a natural resource into a second, third, or fourth copy infinitely, but copying an item takes a lot of time and consumes physical energy that is several times the energy contained in the copied item.

Just looking at the ability, it is extremely amazing.

If No. 18 fuses this, as long as Lu Ran has one drop of Dragon God's blood in his hand, then theoretically, he can have unlimited drops of Dragon God's blood.

But the problem is that copying items takes time. According to the small print in the introduction, this time is extremely long.

It takes 1 hour to copy common resources.

High-level resources, depending on the quality, take more than 1 day. Rare resources, take more than 30 days. Rare resources, take more than 1 year. Copying epic resources, takes more than 10 years...

This long copying time is bound to discourage many beastmasters.

After all, during this period, pets can only work and copy, and cannot be sent to fight. In addition, they have to be fed as usual to maintain their physical strength, which is extremely exhausting.

However, although the conditions are harsh, there are still many people who are attracted by this trait.

The reason why Lu Ran also took notice was because he had the time-accelerating beast taming skill, which could reduce the copying time to a certain extent. In addition, he asked No. 18, and No. 18 also said that he could try to use the blood of the time-based pet beast as energy to make a time accelerator to increase the copying speed.

In this way, it may not take 10 years, but only a few months, or even shorter, to achieve the replication of epic resources.

Lu Ran is still short of resources. Fragments of the nine-colored meteorite are becoming increasingly difficult to find. If he can replicate them in this way, he won't have to worry about the food problem for the King of Sudden Death in the future. The same goes for other pets.

There are also some scarce resources that Lu Ran can only use once, such as the time fruit that has already been used. If No. 18 had this ability at that time, he could have as many time fruits as he wanted.

"This way, even if the cat is captured and sent to work in the time tunnel again and isolated forever, as long as we preserve a drop of its blood, No. 18 will have unlimited time blood as energy for summoning heroic spirits."

"This replication feature can fully ensure that she will not be stuck in future research due to scarce resources."

"It's a pity that I don't know who the auctioneer is, and I can't chat with him privately. Otherwise, the success rate of the purchase would be higher if I communicated directly in private."

It may be because the auctioneer is very weak and comes from a small place. He dare not reveal his true identity for fear of being targeted... Trading through the auction house is indeed safer for weak beastmasters.

"You have to exchange it for a resource that he/she cannot refuse..."
