Besides Lu Ran himself, Fang Lan should be the biggest beneficiary of the mobilization of the green sea's wild resources.
Looking at the first, second, and third generation Beastmasters, those who majored in poison actually needed a lot of resources to practice.
There are various poisonous plants and animals. Only when you have sufficient knowledge about them and have had enough contact with them, can you be considered a true master of poisons.
Now, the entire Green Sea's poison field is open to Fang Lan. With the poison courses sent by Gu Qingyi, and the fact that she herself is also a top student, Lu Ran has already realized that an extremely terrifying beastmaster will be born.
Even before she even came into contact with him, she had already made her own poison for the Demon Bull Leader. After some practical learning, Lu Ran felt that among the four generations of beastmasters, Fang Lan was definitely the most ruthless.
Her ranking on the Divine Pet List doesn’t even represent her true strength.
After all, she had to be careful when dealing with opponents in the arena, otherwise it would be bad if she poisoned others to death.
Moreover, the true essence of the poison system lies in gathering intelligence, targeted poisons, assassinations, etc.
………
Lu Ran and Fang Lan walked side by side in Red Leaf Park. He planned to take Fang Lan to see the poisonous centipede in the back mountain first.
The two of them chatted as they walked, attracting a lot of attention.
The reason is very simple, Fang Lan is a well-known figure in Green Sea City!
The name of the Holy Maiden of the Five Poison Sect in Infinite City No. 3 is known to everyone.
Her beautiful purple hair is the best symbol.
Unlike Lu Ran who has always lived a reclusive life, Fang Lan often hangs out in the arena and is more famous.
In addition, she is a beauty, and the contrast with the poison type is strong enough, so it is natural that she is very popular.
Another reason is that during these seven days, Fang Lan has been active in various places in Green Sea City, dealing with various mutant beasts, resulting in many people knowing her now.
"Isn't that Fang Lan, the Saintess of the Five Poison Sect?!"
"Who is the person next to her? Her boyfriend?! Damn, there is actually someone who can control such a wonderful woman."
At present, there are many people in Red Leaf Park, and there are many student beastmasters from Green Sea University.
They all came out in groups to catch mutant beasts. After all, they were helping to maintain law and order and earning credits. This kind of good thing satisfied their sense of justice and solved their academic worries, killing two birds with one stone.
“Isn’t that Lu Ran, the winner of the Insect King title at the last Red Leaf Park Insect Fighting Competition?”
Of course, it’s not that no one knows Lu Ran in Red Leaf Park. Lu Ran is actually a popular figure, but his fame does not come from his identity as an ordinary person, but from his identity as the strongest insect fighter.
As for the relationship between Fang Lan and Lu Ran as siblings, even fewer people know about it.
"Is it really Lu Ran? He has also become a beastmaster? But that's normal! I just thought he would contract a bug, after all, his bug-fighting skills are so amazing, but it turned out to be a lizard?!"
An uncle fighting insects was surprised to see the King of Sudden Death following Lu Ran.
This week, Lu Ran was mostly active in sparsely populated wild areas, so even though he tamed a bunch of wild animals, the only people who knew of his identity as the King of the Green Sea were Officer Luo Shang and his group of official beast tamers.
Folk animal tamers like these have not yet reached that level, and few know how deep the water in the Green Sea is.
"We both seem to be quite famous, and you have done a good job of keeping your identity confidential." Fang Lan smiled and whispered to Lu Ran.
"Isn't this a normal operation? Do you dare to say that you didn't encounter any trouble after your identity was exposed so quickly?" Lu Ran asked.
"Don't mention it. Every day there are more than a dozen classmates asking me to take them with me. It's so annoying. There are even more other troubles. I am always approached by people even when I have a meal in Infinite City." Fang Lan was speechless.
Lu Ran was still clear-headed. Even though he robbed a wild map BOSS in public, no one remembered what he looked like. He was really like an ordinary passerby.
Now Fang Lan regrets so much why he dyed his hair into such an eye-catching purple color.
“Haha.” Lu Ran smiled and said, “My classmates, for example, never harass me…”
“Lu Ran, you are Lu Ran?!”
"Finally found you!" Before Lu Ran finished speaking, a boy in shorts came running from behind, shouting. Hearing the voice, Lu Ran and Fang Lan both turned around.
"Fuck, I sent you so many private messages, why didn't you reply? Turns out you were making an appointment with... Holy Maiden of the Five Poison Sect." The boy in shorts ran closer and was shocked when he saw Lu Ran and Fang Lan.
"Yang Xishuai?" Lu Ran was also confused when he saw him. This was his high school classmate...
Half a month ago, he also became a beastmaster.
I even showed off about it in the class group.
Lu Ran even knew of his other identity, that is, the grandson of the old man who lost to him in the last insect fighting competition.
After hearing what Yang Xishuai said, Lu Ran did remember that this guy had been harassing him every day, asking him if he had become a beastmaster, and wanted to compete with him again on behalf of his grandfather...
Of course Lu Ran simply ignored this guy... MMP, I didn't expect that he would catch me in real life today.
I just told Fang Lan that I had never been harassed by my classmates, but what I said came true. Why am I so unlucky!
"Do you... do you know each other?" Yang Xishuai looked at Lu Ran and Fang Lan walking together in shock. Fang Lan was a well-known figure in Green Sea City and had been on the newspapers several times! He was known as the strongest fourth-generation beastmaster in Green Sea City.
A flower in the green sea.
Although it is a poisonous flower.
Lu Ran actually knows such a goddess?
"Fang Lan is our senior, we go to the same school. Is it strange to know each other?" Lu Ran asked, "What are you doing?"
Yang Xishuai quickly glanced at the King of Death who was following behind Lu Ran.
King Sudden Death also looked at him with a bad feeling.
"A beast battle, what else can it be!" Yang Xishuai said, "Your lizard is well bred, and it's quite big. What kind of species is it? It's so handsome."
"But you are not determined enough to even make a contract with an insect. Look at me. I not only made a contract with an insect, but also passed the Novice Trial with it!"
"A cricket warrior from a medium-level extraordinary race. Isn't that impressive?"
Yang Xishuai felt very proud, but he still felt guilty inside because he was able to pass the level by cheating.
After the beast taming era began, the Xia country officials began to sell a resource called "stinky grass". This grass, when crushed and applied to the body, can make most supernatural creatures feel nauseous and disgusted, thereby reducing the probability of being attacked by supernatural creatures in the secret realm.
It can be said that after the appearance of this stinking grass, the probability of novice beastmasters surviving the 24-hour novice trial by using tricks has increased significantly.
Yang Xishuai was one of the first beneficiaries of purchasing stinky grass.
It was precisely because of this resource, plus more than ten years of experience in playing with insects, that he firmly chose insects as his pets.
As it turned out, he was quite lucky. Originally, most of the crickets were of low-level extraordinary races, but after his contract, his crickets not only reached the level of middle-level extraordinary races, but they also encountered a secret realm that perfectly utilized the special effects of the stink grass. It can be said that everything went smoothly.
"Anyway, how about a beast battle? My cricket warrior will PK your lizard!"
Yang Xishuai said: "From the perspective of race, you still have the upper hand, what do you think?"
"What a mess! How did you really contract a cricket?" Lu Ran was very upset and wanted to refuse, but Fang Lan beside him smiled and said, "Okay, I also want to see the current strength of the King of Death."
At the same time, she also looked at Lu Ran proudly, and said that you have never been harassed by your classmates! This is simply more fanatical than her classmates!
“This… forget it…” Lu Ran said helplessly. In that case, he might as well get rid of Yang Xishuai once and for all to avoid him harassing him every day.
Why do you beat the old one to give birth to the young one? This is not scientific.
"I'll fight you, but only this once."
"Haha, great!" Yang Xishuai was excited and rubbed his hands together.
The King of Sudden Death was crying. The second owner was really looking for trouble for it. Originally, it saw that Lu Ran had no intention of accepting the challenge!
Even though it heard that its opponent's pet was a cricket and was just food in the past, it was still numb.
After all, the Insect King is also a cricket, which is super scary.
"Let's go." Lu Ran shrugged and said, "Just find an open space."
In fact, beast taming duels were not allowed in the city at the beginning. However, with the revival of spiritual energy, the power of the people was urgently needed to cooperate with the official force to eliminate the mutant beasts. Fighting in the city was inevitable, and this rule was naturally ignored.
As long as they don't intentionally disrupt order or damage public facilities, the authorities turn a blind eye to most private fights. It is also gradually accepted for animal tamers to roam around with large pets.
Soon, Lu Ran and Yang Xishuai came to a lawn, ready to fight the beast.
The commotion here immediately attracted passers-by.
When they discovered a battle between beastmen, a group of onlookers immediately gathered around.
"Someone is going to have a beast battle, let's go and take a look!"
"Isn't that the person who was walking with the Saintess of the Five Poison Sect?"
"Hey, isn't that old man Yang's grandson?"
There are more and more people around.
Yang Xishuai and Lu Ran both ignored the people around them.
At this time, King Death had already crawled onto the grass, sighing repeatedly.
Yang Xishuai also took out his black card and confidently summoned his pet! "Come out, my beloved general." As he spoke, a summoning diagram appeared on the lawn, and a huge golden cricket half a meter long flew out of the diagram with light!
With shiny armor, long antennae, thin and smooth wings, six fat thighs and two sharp teeth, this cricket looks like a warrior and appears to be very well bred.
"Squeak————" After this cricket came out, its call was full of fighting spirit. It raised its wings and chirped to show its fighting power. It seemed that it had a very aggressive personality.
The cricket warrior looked at the king who died suddenly in front of him with a calm face, not caring at all that insects were just food for the lizard. You know, in these days, it has killed at least ten predators, if not a hundred!
"To be honest, the crickets raised by Old Man Yang's grandson are really amazing. They are indeed a cricket family."
"If there is another insect fighting competition that allows extraordinary insects to participate, he will definitely take first place."
"No, no, no, I saw a cricket as big as a human the other day. It was outrageous..."
People started arguing again.
"Wow. (Golden?)" At the same time, seeing the Cricket Warrior, King Death swallowed his saliva and became even more worried. You know, the Insect King is also a gold-type. What should he do?
Although in terms of size, the opponent is far inferior to the Insect King.
But what if all that is concentrated is the essence?
Especially, seeing Yang Xishuai and the Cricket Warriors looking so confident, King Sudden Death was still a little worried.
"Wakawakawaka."
"Waka, waka."
It kept barking, expressing its concerns.
[Wakaka, what a scary jaw! If it bites me, I will die instantly.]
The King of Death looked at Lu Ran for help.
"What is it saying?" On the other side, Yang Xishuai saw that Lu Ran's pet was talking so much and asked curiously.
Only the beastmaster of the pet can understand this kind of thing, unless in the future, the King of Sudden Death masters an ability similar to telepathy and can communicate directly with the other party.
“Are you sure you want to know? ‘What a terrifying jaw! If it bites me, I will die instantly’…” Lu Ran imitated him very well.
"Damn." It was clearly a statement of weakness, but Yang Xishuai always felt that Lu Ran and this lizard were being sarcastic and mocking them.
"Haha, don't get complacent too soon, you'll know how powerful it is soon!"
"Go!" As he said that, Yang Xishuai waved his hand, and the golden cricket warrior immediately attacked, like an air combat general, pointing directly at the sudden death king.
Seeing this, Lu Ran didn't give any instructions and planned to let King Sudden Death perform on his own.
The King of Sudden Death was shocked and was about to use the Lightning Armor to protect himself, but due to the size of the venue and the fact that Yang Xishuai had no martial ethics and directly let his pet attack without saying hello, the King of Sudden Death was hit by the enemy before he could even shape the armor.
"Crack!" The cricket warrior's tentacles, covered in gold energy and like metal spears, directly slashed the sudden death king.
Just when King Sudden Death wanted to howl in pain, he heard a scream of "Squeak", and the tentacles of the golden cricket above him seemed to smash into something hard, causing himself to suffer terrible pain.
"Shh——" The recoil force pushed the golden cricket back, making its scalp numb and its brain dizzy, and also startled the sudden death king.
Yang Xishuai's eyes widened even more.
"Wow, it didn't break through the defense at all?" Seeing this, the onlookers also started to talk about it, saying, "That lizard has such a strong defense."
"The opponent's gold energy covered the tentacles and attacked. It should be easy to cut stones, but it didn't even scratch the lizard's original skin."
"The friend of the Saint of the Five Poison Sect is indeed a formidable beastmaster."
"Impossible!" Yang Xishuai couldn't accept the various voices and continued, "Bite him!"
At this time, King Death finally reacted, and some electric light began to flow through his body. Unfortunately, it was just basic covering, and he still didn't have time to shape the armor. The cricket warriors attacked fiercely again, scaring the panicked King Death once again.
In an instant, the cricket warrior touched the King of Death, whose whole body was covered with lightning energy. His body became numb, black smoke came out, and he fell down with convulsions.
At this time, King Death was stunned again when he saw the Cricket Warrior who fell next to him.
Huh? What's going on? The opponent's attack speed is so fast.
It hadn't even had time to shape its lightning armor, and had just covered its entire body with lightning energy, when the opponent just... just fell down.
King Sudden Death looked at the cricket warrior beside him and fell into deep thought, wondering whether he should continue to shape the Thunder Thorn Armor.
“Waaaaa. (How come you fell down before I even fully activated my defensive skills?)”
The Sudden Death King was greatly shocked. He thought this cricket warrior was very powerful, but in the end, this was it. He couldn't even break his basic defense!
"It looks like it's over." Lu Ran said, "It's just a slight paralysis, it's not a big deal, just take it to rest, then I'm leaving."
The battle ended simply. Fang Lan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh, "Its defense is really strong."
"In this regard, it is indeed talented. When it just awakened, the defensive power of its scales was comparable to that of a wild boar several levels higher that covered its entire body with rock energy. Now..." Lu Ran smiled and continued to walk away with Fang Lan. The Sudden Death King hesitated for a moment and immediately followed.
The current King of Sudden Death has risen several levels, and with the help of Mr. Ha, he ate a lot of insect hearts that increased the hardness of his scales. The defense of his scales has become extremely strong.
If the Thunder Thorn Armor was activated, Lu Ran estimated that even if it stood there and did not fight back, it would be able to defeat a bunch of wild level 10 creatures.
Of course, Lu Ran also saw its shortcomings. Its reaction was a bit slow, and its armor couldn't be opened in seconds. This was the disadvantage of not knowing the energy flow technique. It was also related to the fact that it had been maintaining the lightning armor without repeatedly opening and canceling it. It seemed that Mr. Ha had to continue poking it, and he couldn't let the King of Sudden Death be prepared in advance.
At this moment, King Sudden Death was also reflecting on himself. Otherwise, he should not turn off the Lightning Thorn Armor... There is no time to wear it in dangerous moments! In the future, even when sleeping, he should wear a thick layer of armor! Lu Ran and Fang Lan left.
But Yang Xishuai stood there, stunned.
His Cricket Warrior... couldn't even break the opponent's defense!!! He was knocked unconscious by the counterattack!!!
How could this happen!!! Feeling the pointing and talking of passers-by around him, Yang Xishuai's eyes went dark. How could Lu Ran be so strong? (End of this chapter)
