Lu Ran accepted the other party's challenge.

However, I didn't plan to fight right away.

After all, it involves an attribute awakening fruit, so it must be stable.

Although Mr. Ha is one place higher than the other party in the Divine Pet List, the other party is already level 10 and has integrated special features.

The most important thing is that there is the advantage of flying.

In addition, Lu Ran didn’t know what beast-taming skills and equipment this Pluto had mastered.

If we fight now, the risk of failure still exists.

At the very least, we have to wait until Mr. Ha reaches level 10, completely clears the two secret realms, and then improve our strength.

"I'm waiting for you."

Pluto didn't stay long after leaving his ID number.

Lu Ran also calmly watched the other person leave and was already planning to eat him.

"Then Master Lin, I'll leave first." Lu Ran said to Master Lin.

"Yes." Master Lin nodded. "The difference in strength between a pet with fused traits and one without fused traits is huge."

"After integrating the traits, the difference between awakening the racial talent and not awakening the racial talent is huge."

Before Lu Ran left, Master Lin reminded him.

He signaled to Lu Ran that there was nothing wrong with the fight, but Lu Ran had better not think about fighting against opponents of higher levels.

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded, not too worried.

The Divine Pet List ranks Mr. Ha first, which shows that Mr. Ha’s comprehension of skills is far superior to other pets.

This skill advantage should be quite large at present, not inferior to the improvement brought by traits.

You know, as a genius, Fang Lan seemed to have only mastered the flow of energy in the past week.

And Mr. Ha not only mastered several major skills, but could even combine them together.

Just continue to expand your advantage for now.

…

After leaving the forge, Lu Ran randomly found a hot pot restaurant nearby, ate a lot of fresh meat from the secret realm, and left satisfied.

After a night's rest, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were full of energy and were planning to challenge new secret realms.

This kind of life reminded Lu Ran of the time when he was playing some online games. It was really hard work.

The phased rewards are not far away, but you will always feel itchy if you can’t get them.

Now Lu Ran dreams about controlling the characteristics of weapons, and dreams about President Ha’s perfect evolution…all those strange dreams have been replaced by President Ha.

"Woo!~" In the exclusive room, Mr. Ha raised his head and asked about today's arrangements.

"As we said yesterday, we will start the exploration of the Mantis Jungle Secret Realm and recharge Broken Horn."

"If you still have energy left after completing this challenge, go to the Blizzard Mountain Secret Realm and walk through it again."

Mr. Ha showed a wise look: "!!!"

What a hopeful day.

If it were an animal with a lazy personality, such as a giant panda that has been spoiled in a zoo, it might have started complaining by now.

But Mr. Ha, who had just woken up and was full of energy, was not afraid of this kind of hard work.

"Ooooo~~~" Mr. Ha let out a long howl, signaling Lu Ran to set off quickly.

Blade Mantis...

It wants to fight the enemy with sword to see what the opponent is capable of.

"Then I'll pay." Lu Ran smiled slightly.

Ha, always steady!

You know, because the secret realm is too dangerous, many pets have developed a traumatic impression of the secret realm and battles after their first experience there.

Unless the Beastmaster forcibly commands him using the contract, he will never challenge the secret realm again.

Lu Ran has seen a lot of this kind of thing in the Beast Taming Forum.

It’s relatively worry-free for Mr. Ha here. Just take care of the food and let him do whatever he wants.

Since they had raised the dog for more than a year and had tamed it perfectly through telepathy, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha skipped the stage of getting used to each other, which was also an advantage.

【Name: Mantis Jungle】

[Secret Realm Level: Novice]

[Difficulty: Difficult]

[Challenge Coins: 700]

As the value of resources within the secret realm has increased exponentially, and there is even a small chance of finding priceless wind-type enhanced beast-taming skills, the challenge crystal coins have risen again.

However, the increase is not significant, and that is because the danger in the secret realm has increased exponentially and the resources are not so easy to obtain.

For example, even if the wind-type enhancement skill reaches an S score, the explosion rate is only 1%. If you are not lucky, don't even think about it.

But if he is lucky once, then this beastmaster can be considered to have become rich overnight during his novice period.

[Do you want to spend 700 crystal coins to challenge the Mantis Jungle Secret Realm? ]

yes.

Lu Ran confirmed it in his heart, and then he was teleported away together with Mr. Ha who was holding a sword in his mouth.

This time, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were both armed with weapons and did not dare to be careless. After all, it was a difficult level...

Every blade mantis here has awakened attributes, and their attack method is to chop people with their swords. If you are not careful, you will die.

【Transmission completed.】

[Current location: Mantis Jungle (Novice Secret Realm)]

[Difficulty: Difficult]

[Secret Realm Introduction: The main habitat of the Blade Mantis Clan, with a large number of high-level resources, attracting countless beastmasters who come here for adventure. However, due to the fierce combat power of the Blade Mantis Clan, this place once became a place of regret for new beastmasters.]

[Tip ①: The maximum stay time in the Novice Secret Realm is 8 hours. During this period, the trial-taker can choose whether to return or not. The transfer takes 10 seconds.]

【Hint ②: ……】

"Huh?" At this moment, Lu Ran was slightly startled when he saw the introduction of the Mantis Jungle Secret Realm. This time it was finally not related to the Beast Taming Empire, and there was no messy background.

It seems like a very normal secret...

Lu Ran just finished saying that this secret realm was very normal, and then he and Mr. Ha looked ahead with dull eyes.

Two green mantises, about 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall, stood like humans and hugged each other.

It seems... that mating just ended?

What made Lu Ran and Ha stunned was that the head of the suspected male blade mantis had disappeared. It was chopped off by the female mantis and put in her mouth for enjoyment.

"Damn." As soon as he came in, he saw the praying mantis' habit of cannibalism, and Lu Ran's scalp tingled.

Of course he knew that mantises had this habit, but the problem was that these two mantises were too big, as tall as humans, so they looked particularly creepy.

"sand!!!"

At this time, the female mantis also saw Lu Ran and Mr. Ha who suddenly appeared nearby.

It stepped back slightly, looking cautiously, and the male blade mantis's body fell to the ground. Its head was also thrown away like a basketball.

At this moment, for the female mantis, everything else should be put aside and dealing with the unknown enemy is the most important thing.

It brandished its scythe, assumed a fighting stance, and spread its wings.

【Name】：Blade Mantis

【Attribute】: Wind

[Race Level]: Advanced Extraordinary [Level]: Level 9

It is indeed a difficult secret realm...

This is just a random wild monster I encountered when I came in. Its strength is probably enough to crush that grass demon cat.

"sand!!"

Before Lu Ran could sigh too much, the Blade Mantis was already surrounded by the power of wind and turned into a shadow flying low.

The blades of the two sickles flashed with light, as if they wanted to split Lu Ran and Ha Zong in two.

"Woof!" Seeing this, Mr. Ha was actually very excited.

Although the "weapon" used by Blade Mantis is a part of its own body, Mr. Ha is still very pleased to see that there is finally a creature using a similar weapon as himself.

Holding the sword in its mouth, its eyes suddenly became fierce, and it released its spirit through the Fengyun Sword! Boom! The beast's sword force burst out, and a powerful aura was revealed in Boss Ha.

Just as Mr. Ha was about to leap out and collide with the opponent with his "Swift Wind Sword Slash" attack, an accident happened.

Feeling the force of President Ha's sword, the female mantis suddenly stopped and remained suspended in mid-air. Her green eyes were filled with surprise and doubt. She did not launch another attack, as if she was intimidated by President Ha's domineering aura.

But the situation is very different from the creatures that had been frightened by Mr. Ha before.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle!!" It made a chirping sound, which startled Mr. Ha, who was about to attack, and made him confused.

Not to mention it, Lu Ran was also a little confused. What was going on?

He tried to use telepathy, but the result was still disappointing. Telepathy was ineffective against these secret realm projections, and he couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

However, with his rich experience, Lu Ran could judge at this time that the other party seemed to not want to fight anymore?

“Damn.” If he just didn’t want to fight anymore and was intimidated by Mr. Ha’s sword power, Lu Ran could still understand it.

But the next moment, as the female mantis looked at Mr. Ha's glittering weapon with eyes of "admiration for the strong", waved her sickle and performed the "courtship dance", Lu Ran was dumbfounded.

Mr. Ha was also dumbfounded.

"Damn it, I told you this secret place is a little weird."

"It's fine if you're just cannibalizing your own kind, but why are you courting a dog?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ha also carries a sword, so just treat it as one of the same kind!"

Lu Ran didn’t quite understand the thought process of a supernatural creature like the Blade Mantis.

“Woof woof woof woof!!!” After Lu Ran finished speaking, President Ha’s eyes widened even more, and he was frightened.

Without saying a word, it shook its head and swung out a gust of wind sword energy. Under the female mantis's incredulous gaze, the female mantis's body was split in two by the wind blade.

"sand……"

Before dying, it was still wondering...

With the death of Blade Mantis, Mr. Ha breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little scared.

"Woo..." It saw it. This female mantis was eating the male mantis that had just mated with it. Such a vicious guy actually wanted to take its head? This grudge... Uh, Mr. Ha looked at the fallen body of the blade mantis and didn't remember it for the time being.

"That's right, Mr. Ha." Lu Ran also shook his head and said, "Faced with the temptation of beauty, you must keep your heart. Women will only affect the speed of your sword drawing."

"You were certainly decisive this time, but it was also because the species was different. It was not in your aesthetic sense."

"Next time you meet a pretty one, you must also draw your sword in time."

"Woof woof woof!" Mr. Ha nodded repeatedly, but at this time he didn't hold a grudge, so he always felt unhappy.

So, he looked at the fallen body of the Blade Mantis.

When the corpse disappeared and no materials dropped from it, Mr. Ha narrowed his eyes.

Mantis leader...

"You remember nothing." Lu Ran said, "I did some research before coming here. Blade mantises are solitary creatures. Except for mating, they will be together in pairs. Most of the time, they act alone. The characteristic is that each individual has different skills."

"Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Mantis Leader and is not under his control."

You didn't even let me bear a grudge, Mr. Lu, I will bear this grudge!
