Seemingly sensing Lu Yu's gaze, the elegant white fox raised its head, looked at him, and let out a soft murmur:
"Chirp~"
Her voice was soft and beautiful, even more melodious than the legendary sirens, and it transformed into dazzling pale starlight, brushing against his body.
In an instant, it calmed his inner anxiety, and the originally red spiritual energy began to be purified, quickly turning into a dark red.
click!
With a soft sound from his soul, the red copper spirituality within Lu Yu's body turned completely dark red, successfully stepping into the advanced stage of red copper.
Instead of further improvement, they began to help him solidify his foundation and strengthen his physique.
"What on earth is going on...?"
Lu Yu snapped out of his daze and looked at the white fox, only to find that it had disappeared. Where it had been, a leaf remained, its veins like stars gathering and its leaf blade like starlight shining brightly.
The mouse climbed onto my shoulder, its little head close, eyes wide, and asked curiously, "What beautiful leaves! Did you buy them before, Xiuren?"
Little Spider couldn't help but take a second look; as a girl, she had no resistance to beautiful things.
Lu Yu frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Didn't you see a white fox?"
"No!" The mouse shook its head like a rattle-drum, looking at Lu Yu suspiciously, "You don't mean you're thinking of choosing a fox spirit as your third pet, do you? You already have us, humans can't, at least shouldn't..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yu physically pinched her mouth shut and said irritably, "Others see form as emptiness, and emptiness as form, but you see form whenever you have a moment of free time..."
As he spoke, he looked at the little spider, who shook his head.
"Eek!"
I didn't see it!
After receiving a negative answer, Lu Yu looked at the information presented by the star leaf in his hand, lost in thought.
【Star Leaf: A gift from a mysterious life form of the past, containing the power of starlight from the past. It can block one attack from a Morning Star level and can also be used as a medium for summoning.】
From the past?
Could it be that what I'm seeing isn't the current version of it?
How does it eat the food it's currently consuming?
What kind of philosophical paradox is this...?
Lu Yu sorted out his thoughts and roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and also understood why the Starry Sky Beast Tower had not worked.
This mysterious white fox is most likely the pet of a powerful beast tamer in the tower. It was attracted by the delicious food he made and couldn't resist stealing some.
It seems that the value of the food created by combining the "good" quality with the "Master of the Gate" effect was underestimated.
"But this calling function... is it treating this place like a cafeteria, and even pre-loaded my meal card...?"
Lu Yu grumbled, "Although the process was a bit unexpected, the result was pretty good."
Not only did it help me improve my strength, it also gave me a treasure that could withstand a blow from a Morning Star level opponent, which could save my life in a critical moment.
It seems they're afraid they, the chef, might die on the way...
The only pity is that I didn't give myself a chance to use my silver tongue. Otherwise, if I had made the white fox happy, I could have gotten dozens of star leaves in no time, or even gotten her to take me out to farm monster materials.
However, after he returns from the Desolate Ant Tomb Secret Realm, he can cook more delicious food and try to fleece some sheep... fox fur, and preferably use their strength to kill the Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud!
There's no loss if it fails, but if it succeeds, not only can we extract materials, but we can also use the large number of souls imprisoned within to complete the Ghost Tree.
"Time to go!"
Lu Yu glanced at the night sky; more than twenty minutes had passed. He found a key and prepared to go out.
The mouse, who was still looking at the starry leaves, suddenly froze. The power of shadows intertwined in its mind, and it recalled what had just happened. It asked Xiu Ren again who had stolen the fourth serving of grilled fish.
Lu Yu didn't pay much attention, since explaining would be too troublesome, so he just gave a casual answer. The little spider next to him tilted its head and showed a puzzled expression.
Four portions? Aren't there only three portions?
Never mind, whatever, the master is right!
Upon arriving in the basement, Lu Yu found a black and red motorcycle sitting in a corner, covered in dust. He took out a rag and began wiping it, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
This is a Blackscale Type 3 motorcycle from the Mechanical King Domain. Its appearance is black and streamlined. When it is running, it looks like a running black and red Qilin. It has the performance of off-road, hill climbing, and strong endurance, making it an indispensable means of transportation for solo outdoor travelers.
This was a coming-of-age gift his parents bought for him; they had originally planned to tell him on his eighteenth birthday.
As a result, Lu Sheng, the father, couldn't resist and secretly drove off for a spin. He happened to run into his son and wife buying groceries, and the end result was that he was punished by having to wash the dishes for a month.
Lu Yu had been looking forward to this gift ever since that day, but he hadn't been to the basement for three months and had been keeping it there ever since.
After wiping the car body clean, I started the engine with the key to test the horsepower and found that the half tank of gas that Lu Sheng had used up was now full.
Everything has been prepared for him...
Unfortunately, things have changed.
Just as he got on his motorcycle, preparing to return the two little guys to his beast-taming space, he suddenly noticed that they were both wearing small helmets made of spider silk, lying on the instrument panel, turning their heads, and looking at him expectantly.
Lu Yu chuckled, then leaned forward slightly and said with a smile:
"Sit tight, let's... go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a roaring sound rang out, and the black and red motorcycle started moving. After paying at the self-service payment counter, it sped out of the basement and raced across the empty streets in the dead of night.
Like a black and red lightning bolt, it sped out of Dayuan City, racing all the way.
At the top of the Starry Sky Tower in the city center, the white fox shadow silently watched them depart, its aura growing increasingly real, drawing ever closer to this world, only to recede again in the next moment…
...........................
On the desolate plains, a large number of adventurers, having just seen the video intelligence, began their journey towards the Desolate Ant Tomb Secret Realm. Among them were lone wolves, small adventure groups, and even some less powerful Bronze-rank Beastmasters who had come, harboring a sliver of hope.
After all, every year there are numerous news stories about people who have gained an opportunity, are recognized by powerful pets, or find world treasures and make great strides to become top-tier beast tamers, which inspires them to move forward.
What if they could become one of these lucky ones?
Inside an old-fashioned off-road vehicle, Xiao Bing and his four companions, filled with dreams, hummed tunes and expressed their beautiful aspirations for the future.
They are both locals from Dayuan City. They have known each other since elementary school. Because they get along well, they became sworn brothers and stayed together throughout junior high and elementary school.
After graduating from high school, none of the five could go to university, so they decided to form a small adventure team and start taking on missions in the city.
Since all five of them were Silver-level beginner Beast Tamers, over the course of six or seven years, although they couldn't be described as extremely wealthy, they were still living comfortably.
However, taking it a step further is even more difficult.
So this time they decided to step out of their comfort zone, venture into the wilderness and seek a breakthrough opportunity, and also see if they could find the ancient species, the Wild Force Ant.
Even if it's not used, it can still be sold for a good price, helping Xiao Bing, the strongest member of the team, to reach the Gold rank.
As the off-road vehicle traversed the bumpy road, it bounced and jolted, causing even the music to distort.
Old Xu, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but complain, "Old Zhang, you've made so much money, why don't you think to buy a better car? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were riding a kiddie ride!"
The square-faced man named Lao Zhang glanced at him, smoking a cigarette and muttering, "You don't know how expensive life is until you're in charge of the household. The car is enough, and I don't have that much money anyway. You guys have no idea how expensive kids' pet battle tutoring classes are these days. Luckily, my daughter is doing great; she always gets first place in the theory class, and our house is covered in certificates of merit. If I can make a big profit this time, I'll buy my daughter the pet cub she's always wanted and give her a surprise. Also, the work lunch this time was made by your sister-in-law herself..."
"Master! I was wrong, please stop reading it. I know you have a happy family!" Old Xu wailed, covering his ears. A lonely man like him couldn't stand this.
The others burst into laughter, and Xiao Bing in the back seat teased, "Old Xu, you're not getting any younger. You should save up some money to get married and find a wife instead of always going to those back alleys."
"What do you know? I just want to give these poor girls who are dressed so lightly a little warmth!" Old Xu retorted, leaning on one hand as he watched the scenery rushing past the window. He said nonchalantly, "Besides, I have a bad temper, I'm not good-looking, and I even killed my parents. I shouldn't go and ruin good girls. Being alone is more liberating..."
After he finished speaking, only the music echoed in the car, and the rest of the people remained silent.
Old Xu is a good person, but his parents both passed away due to illness. Without any relatives to care for, he has no goals in life and only pursues immediate pleasure.
Xiao Bing thought he would become despondent, but one day he accidentally bumped into this dissolute guy, who often took advantage of his free time to secretly go to the welfare home to do volunteer work for free, and even paid out of his own pocket to buy toys, snacks and books for the children.
After being discovered, this guy tried to argue that he was just investing in advance, and that if a genius emerged, he would get a thousandfold return in the future.
Ha, what a stubborn guy.
Xiao Bing broke the silence and changed the subject:
"Don't be so discouraging. Have you heard? There was a new Beast Tamer a while back who made a million in a single day just from doing Crimson Copper quests. That's comparable to some high-difficulty Gold quests!"
"These newcomers these days are really monsters..." Old Xu clicked his tongue in amazement and sighed, "If I were that powerful, I would definitely not forget my adopted sons after I made my fortune."
"Get the hell out of here!"
"You are my adopted son!"
"..."
The atmosphere on the bus became lively again, but because it was late at night, everyone got a little tired after chatting for a while and soon quieted down to rest with their eyes closed.
Xiao Bing leaned against the car window, watching the fog gradually deepen, and a sense of weariness washed over him.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, a sudden loud bang startled the car into braking, the tires screeching against the pavement and the violent shaking waking Xiao Bing and the others.
Old Xu, who had just closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, which was red from hitting the glass, and couldn't help but complain, "Old Zhang, aren't you afraid your beat-up car will fall apart with such sudden braking?"
However, when he turned his head, the scene that came into view stunned him.
A large hole appeared in front of the windshield, with cracks all around. Old Zhang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had a small piece of iron pierced his neck, and bright red blood gushed out, staining his clothes red.
Old Zhang slammed on the brakes, pulled on the handbrake with his right hand, and roared with his last ounce of strength:
"Run!"
After saying this, his head drooped, and his life was extinguished.
"Old Zhang!"
Everyone was shocked and hadn't figured out what was happening when they suddenly discovered that a thick white fog was shrouding them in a hazy mist.
Ahead, a distorted figure slowly emerged from the mist, gradually taking shape under the illumination of the high beams.
Xiao Bing's pupils contracted, and he murmured, "This is..."
What appeared before them was a humanoid individual with a bloated body, wearing tattered iron armor, and the exposed flesh on its body was rotting, with maggots wriggling within.
Even more terrifying are the enormous crab claws, each half the size of a human body, that appear on both sides of the ribs and beside the human arms. These claws forcibly attach different monster bodies to the body in a bizarre way, creating a twisted and chaotic appearance.
Its head was bald, and several wriggling eyeballs were mounted on its forehead, staring greedily into the car.
"The Limb-Changing Demon!"
P.S.: It will be available for purchase at midnight tonight. Please support me! I will be updating at least 40,000 words per chapter. The better the sales, the more I will update!
The release was somewhat sudden, and part of it is from a backlog of chapters. It mainly features adventure, combat, and the performances of mice and little spiders. If you don't like it, you can skip the thrilling part about stealing the base, but I recommend reading the whole thing as it involves a major plot twist. I will finish that part as soon as possible and return to the focus on beast taming and training. First subscriptions are very important for a book, so please support me.
