The Hou is a strange beast from Zhang'e Mountain. It looks like a rabbit, with long, pointed ears and a body only about a foot long. Its urine can rot flesh and blood, and it often makes lions and tigers fear it.
In the end, besides bringing them dozens of low-level spirit orbs, the hundreds of dark treasure chests even yielded a mid-level spirit orb, which Ye Chen temporarily stored away.
In addition, two more Life Essences that the fat man had used before were also obtained.
However, this time they didn't give it to the fat man again, as continuous use wouldn't do any good and would only reduce the drug's effectiveness.
So he chose to use one on the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree himself, and then use one on Ye Xi.
The essence of life can accelerate Ye Xi's growth without any side effects, and what he lacks now is the strength to suppress mountains and rivers.
If even one Yue'e can grow up, she will be enough to exert absolute deterrence on all the spirit pearls.
"Boom~~~" After consuming the life essence, a massive life force began to surround Ye Xi's body. The terrifying energy, combined with her breathing technique, was continuously surging into her body.
During this process, Ye Xi's strength also continued to increase.
200 points of total attribute, 210 points of total attribute, 220 points of total attribute...
Ye Xi's strength increased at a visible speed, quickly reaching the required 250 total attribute points, and then rapidly surpassing that level.
Ultimately, Ye Xi's total attribute value stopped at 299 points and could no longer increase.
This is the limit of the third tier. To go any higher, one must wait for a qualitative change in the body to break through the final constraint.
Her attributes had reached their limit, but the power of her life essence was not exhausted, continuing to strengthen Ye Xi's body and accelerate her growth.
Although Ye Xi ultimately failed to break through to the 4th rank or complete the second stage of growth, he was actually very close.
Not only did they have only one week left to grow, but they also gained a brand new talent: vitality.
This is a passive talent that can increase Ye Xi's vitality and speed up the recovery of injuries. It's not very useful, but it's better than nothing.
"Fatty! Keep an eye on Duobao Trading Network and see if there are any more deals on Life Essence. If there are, get them no matter the cost!" Ye Chen said to Fatty on the other end of the video.
Life essence is extremely rare, and it's a consumable item. Every lord wants it, and it's almost impossible to find on the trading website.
However, once they arrived on the wasteland planet, Ye Chen believed that as the lords acquired more special resources, such items would gradually become more abundant.
"Alright, although we don't have any Life Essence, we do have a few Nest Reset Potions. Do you want them?" The fat man nodded, took out five red reagent bottles, and asked the two of them.
Nest Reset Potion is a potion specifically used to reset the number of times a nest can be recruited. It allows you to recruit a familiar without losing any resources, making it a rather rare item. The key is that it cannot be crafted and can only be obtained by opening Dark Chests.
“Yes, give it to Mengyi. My territory just ran out of life essence and can recruit again!” Ye Chen said immediately.
The recruitment process of the Angelic Holy Court has a built-in cooldown, so it's much better to give the Nest Reset Potion to Jian Mengyi than to him.
"Okay!" The fat man nodded and handed the potion to Jian Mengyi, while Ye Chen went to the silver laurel tree and began recruiting again.
This time, he didn't overdraw the recruitment chances of the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree again. He recruited ten times in one go and then stopped. He planned to continue recruiting once a day to ensure the quality of the recruited members and to ensure that the best racial talents could be passed on.
Perhaps due to the enhancement from the essence of life, the quality of this batch of recruits is very high.
After ten recruitments, five people were recruited as Yue'e, averaging one person recruited every two recruitments. As for the accompanying Jade Rabbits, seven were recruited, one of which was a rare and special Jade Rabbit.
No, it's no longer appropriate to call this rabbit a jade rabbit.
Its fur is not as white as that of the Jade Rabbit; it even has a hint of dark gray.
It is only a little over a foot long, but has long, pointed ears and a fierce look in its eyes.
Ye Chen was slightly startled when he saw the rabbit. He quickly checked its attributes and was speechless when he saw its name.
Name: Unnamed
Race: Hou
Rank: Tier 3 Loyalty: 100
Growth rate: 0/7 (This stage of growth can be completed in two weeks under normal conditions)
Attributes: Constitution 20; Strength 40; Agility 30; Intelligence 10; Spirit 40
Talent Skill 1: Roar to the Sky: Unleash a deafening roar that intimidates everything.
Talent Skill 2: Levitation: Allows you to fly.
Talent Skill 3: Fire Control: Can breathe fire and control fire.
Talent Skill 4: Venom: The urine contains a potent poison that can corrode everything.
"This is actually a Hou?" Ye Chen murmured in disbelief. He never expected that a Hou could be born from the companion species of the Jade Rabbit. This is a genuine primordial divine beast!
"Legend has it that the Hou is the ancestor of the Qilin, can fight with dragons, and eats dragon brains. What does that have to do with the Jade Rabbit?" Ye Chen smiled wryly.
However, the fact that he could recruit a Hou was still very tempting to him, as its growth rate was already the same as that of the Yue'e.
Even in terms of initial talent, it surpasses Ye Xi and the others: levitation, fire control, venom... Isn't this the legendary Hou's ability? This is just a rabbit about a foot in size, yet it can only be described as terrifyingly strong.
"Gurgle?" The little rabbit took off and floated in front of Ye Chen, tilting its head and looking at him with curiosity.
"Very well, I won't change your name. You can just call yourself Hou!" Ye Chen raised his hand and carefully touched the other's long ears.
The little guy twisted his body comfortably, then rubbed against Ye Chen's palm.
The furry texture made it hard for Ye Chen to associate it with a prehistoric ferocious beast.
"Perhaps becoming a member of the Familia has made him more peaceful in his personality?" Ye Chen thought to himself, while also looking forward to seeing Hou grow stronger.
They've only just been recruited, yet their attribute value of 140 is already astounding, making even the Silver Moon Elves who have completed the second stage of growth feel ashamed. Even the Moon Goddess Clan is slightly inferior, making them an extremely powerful force from birth.
"Gurgle~~~" The little guy rolled over again, and a muffled sound came from his round belly, clearly indicating that he was hungry.
Before Ye Chen could even give a signal, Ye Chen turned around, looked around, and then rushed toward the edge of the territory.
There had just been a battle there, and the corpses of many dark creatures were piled up and had not been cleared away.
The little guy didn't hold back either. During flight, its size suddenly increased, its rabbit lips opened, and it bit down on the dire wolf carcass on the ground.
"Roar~~~" With a beastly roar, the several-meter-long dire wolf was bitten in half, black blood splattering everywhere. The little guy didn't mind, wolfing it down, and even the black mist that lingered around it couldn't penetrate it at all.
Ye Chen stared blankly at the fierce look on the other party's face for a moment, and finally believed that the other party was a Hou and not a rabbit.
"Truly worthy of being called a ferocious beast from the primordial era!"
