In addition to weapons and amulets, he also prepared some medicine, mineral water, snacks and some wilderness survival props.
Although I don’t know if I can use it, it’s always a good idea to have it with me.
It’s just a little overweight...but it’s not a big problem, I can just throw it away at the critical moment.
In this way, time passed little by little as Lu Ran continued to prepare and lecture Mr. Ha.
"Do you really understand?"
"The contract strengthened your physique, but it seems your IQ didn't improve at the same time."
During this period, Lu Ran looked at the impatient President Ha with tiredness and felt a headache.
For example, he said that the next enemy might be a creature they had never seen before and they needed to be careful, but Mr. Ha always showed a disdainful expression.
What does this mean? Lu Ran felt very disappointed.
He had a bad feeling, but with only a few minutes left in the countdown, he didn't have time to think about it.
"Okay, that's it."
"You come back first." Lu Ran summoned the black card. He could keep this black card in his body at this time, or summon it out at any time.
As the time of crossing was imminent, Lu Ran first put President Ha back into the black card, and then put the black card away. In this way, at least he would not have to worry about himself and President Ha being separated because of the transmission.
"Ouch!!" Mr. Ha entered the black card, and Lu Ran began to close his eyes and rest.
Although my eyes are closed, the countdown is still clearly visible in front of my eyes.
Time continues to pass...
Three...two...one...As the last second approached, Lu Ran couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After all, he is just a high school student.
At the same time, at this moment, space ripples appeared, and the space where Lu Ran was located twisted like a whirlpool. Through the rapid twisting, Lu Ran's figure was swallowed up and disappeared in the room.
However, although Lu Ran disappeared, the backpack he was carrying and the Zantetsu sword he was holding tightly were not teleported.
Except for the necessary clothes and the amulet hanging around the neck, all external belongings, even food and drink, were left behind.
…
Lu Ran felt as if his body was constantly experiencing overweight and weightlessness. He had never expected the teleportation process to be so uncomfortable. After the feeling of the earth shaking and the sky spinning disappeared, Lu Ran found that he had really arrived at a new place.
He opened his eyes.
What came into view was a dark and dense forest.
Before he could take a closer look, the familiar words and voices appeared again.
【Transmission completed.】
[Current location: Demon Cat Forest (Novice Trial Secret Realm)]
[Difficulty: Easy]
【Trial mission: Survive for one day.】
[Introduction to the secret realm: The Demon Cat Forest is a natural maze formed by a variety of densely covered trees. It is rich in resources and was once home to many extraordinary creatures.
Twenty years ago, a strange black rainstorm caused the creatures in the forest to mutate, launching a beast tide in the surrounding towns.
The Empire's Beast Taming Corps responded quickly, suppressed the beast tide, and cleared the forest of powerful mutated creatures.
After twenty years of recovery, only the demon cat clan and some weak supernatural creatures are still active here, and the forest has been renamed the Demon Cat Forest.
As a new beastmaster, you have strayed into this place by mistake. Your biggest task now is to survive and wait for rescue. 】
[Hint ①: This secret realm is a projection of the Demon Cat Forest. The resources and creatures inside cannot be taken out or contracted.]
[Tip ②: Depending on the trial-taker's combat performance in the secret realm, different levels of rewards can be obtained after completing the task.]
[Hint ③: When the participant falls into a near-death state, the mission is considered failed and the participant is forced to return.]
[Hint ④: The trial-taker temporarily obtains the Data Eye, which can detect the internal resources and biological information of the secret realm. ]
[Wish you a happy adventure, the trial begins! 】
“I see.” After seeing hint ③, Lu Ran felt that the creator of the black card seemed quite humane.
But not much.
Although the trial-taker will be forcibly teleported away when he is on the verge of death, which is very considerate, the problem is that he may not be able to receive medical treatment after being teleported back, just like the person who posted the message. Moreover, there is a greater possibility that the trial-taker will not even have the chance to enter the near-death state and will be killed instantly.
The human body is very fragile.
Also, is this secret realm a projection of another world? Black rainstorm... beast tide... Damn, it doesn't sound like a novice dungeon.
Still have to be careful, it's impossible to be happy...
"Ugh!!!"
Lu Ran summoned Mr. Ha again and said, "We were unable to bring the weapons and supplies." Lu Ran felt sorry, but he had already prepared himself mentally for not being able to bring those things.
"According to the prompt, all the enemies and resources in this place are illusory. I don't know if I can find anything to eat here. I can't take it out, but can I use it here?"
"Woof." Mr. Ha, who came out again, had an empty mind. He did not follow Lu Ran's analysis and ran around happily.
Lu Ran was silent. Damn it, let’s do something serious, Boss Ha, aren’t we just out for a walk?
"I say..." Lu Ran was about to say something.
Rustle...
Suddenly, a voice sounded, interrupting Lu Ran's thoughts. Lu Ran's expression froze and he looked around cautiously.
"Uh-woo." Mr. Ha, who was circling Lu Ran, also became alert, as if he smelled something dangerous.
Something is approaching!
It quickly stopped, tensed its body, and protected Lu Ran.
The surroundings were extremely dark, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight shining through the leaves and falling on the ground. In the unbearably silent forest, the rustling sound kept growing louder.
"There?" Lu Ran looked towards the black bushes that were half a person's height.
The rustling sound continued, and finally, as the sound became clearer, the bushes in front of Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were pulled aside.
The creature that suddenly appeared let out a series of low growls, and its red pupils stared at Lu Ran and Mr. Ha opposite, and the ferocity in its eyes could not be hidden.
At the same time, Mr. Ha's hair stood up and he howled loudly at the creature that appeared! !
“Woof!!”
They actually dared to be so mean to them, it will remember this grudge.
This is……
Lu Ran's eyes flashed. This was a cat-like creature with a dark red body, an extremely thin body, extremely long claws, and long gray hair on its head!
Demon cat!
[Race]: Demon Cat [Attributes]: Unawakened
[Race Level]: Medium Extraordinary [Growth Level]: Level 2
[Introduction]: A bloody hunter in the jungle who likes to tear open the opponent's body and suck blood.
The data eye that Lu Ran temporarily obtained took effect.
Staring at the demon cat, soon all the information about the demon cat appeared.
"As I understand it, the racial level is the strength of a race. Tigers are stronger than cats and dogs, and cats and dogs are stronger than small herbivores like rabbits. This demon cat has the same racial level as Mr. Ha, so Mr. Ha does not have an advantage."
"As for the growth level, it is most likely linked to the growth stage, such as the infancy and growth period. The higher the level, the stronger the physical qualities. Mr. Ha is only level 1, but it is level 2. This is not good."
Instantly, Lu Ran determined that this guy was not someone to be trifled with. He did not look like a small monster used to give novices practical experience.
As the two sides confronted each other, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Lu Ran held his breath, observed his surroundings, and tried his best to remain calm.
If the novice's task is to survive for a day, there is no need to confront this kind of guy head-on, especially when you have just entered the secret realm.
If you want to hold out for a day, it is best to find supplies and go to a safe place, stay there for a day, avoid unnecessary battles, only fight unavoidable battles, and conserve your energy.
at the moment……
If you turn around and run away, if everything goes well, you might be able to avoid a fight. But if you trigger the opponent's hunting instinct and the opponent catches up, no matter whether you escape successfully or not, you will be very passive in this unknown forest and waste a lot of energy.
At the moment, the best option is... to scare the other party away!
Next, after careful consideration, Lu Ran made a move that surprised both Mr. Ha and the demon cat.
Lu Ran was seen looking at the demon cat seriously. He suddenly spread his arms to make himself look bigger and roared at the demon cat!
"Hurray!!!!" Lu Ran shouted, trying to scare the other party away.
His father, who often dealt with wild animals, once told him that if you encounter a ferocious beast in the wild, it is best not to turn around and run away, but to look it straight in the face and show your strength, so that you can die with more dignity.
And, if you are lucky, if the beast is not very familiar with humans, there is a very small chance of scaring it off.
However, after performing a set of intimidating actions, Lu Ran always felt that the atmosphere seemed even more wrong.
Mr. Ha looked confused.
The demon cat's facial expression twisted for a moment, and then it suddenly burst out with a roar and attacked Lu Ran.
Lu Ran couldn't help cursing, which step was wrong? In addition, his telepathy seemed to be ineffective against this phantom!
The demon cat's movements were very agile, but fortunately Lu Ran had also been strengthened and could see its movements clearly.
At this point, Lu Ran gave up other ideas and decided to face the demon cat directly. It was just a cat, but he had controlled countless cats in the past ten years.
Even if it was a little tiger, he would pick it up by pinching it.
No, that's not right. He is a beastmaster now and needs to gradually become familiar with commanding his pets to fight, rather than fighting himself.
"Mr. Ha! Save me!" Lu Ran shouted, realizing his identity.
"Confine it first! I'll find a weapon!"
At the same time, the confused Mr. Ha also followed the movements of the demon cat and his eyes became fierce, and he pounced towards the attacking demon cat.
As the two figures collided in a flash, Lu Ran, who took a step back to look for weapons such as sticks and stones, only heard a scream.
"Meow!!!!" The shrill screams accompanied by low growls echoed in the dense forest, making Lu Ran look quickly.
Then, he saw Boss Ha pinning the demon cat to the ground, biting its throat, roaring domineeringly, and countless blood splattering.
The demon cat, which looked extremely tough to deal with, was killed with one strike.
"Uh..." Lu Ran stood there in a daze, feeling that it was not right to take the stone at his feet, nor was it right not to take it.
So, what was the purpose of my battle of wits and courage with the demon cat after I spent so much time analyzing it? My own assessment of the combat power of the strengthened Ha and the demon cat seemed to be a little wrong.
"Uh-woo!!!" At this moment, Mr. Ha, who was standing in the distance, turned his head and shouted, looking at Lu Ran, as if to say, it's so easy, just like a god of war.
Lu Ran was in deep thought.
It was installed.
Something is wrong. Is there a gap between the middle-level extraordinary people?
But the gap between level 1 and level 2 is not as big as you thought?
Judging from its size, this demon cat is indeed more than one level lower than Mr. Ha.
Sure enough, in nature, body size largely determines combat power! Well...
"Awesome, worthy of being a general trained by me." Lu Ran could only comment. He really didn't expect that the normal Boss Ha could be so powerful.
"Woof!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Ha showed a wise expression. What are you talking about? I don't understand.
