King of Beasts.

Chapter 104: Sword Dog

A cook asks to go to battle!
The people present didn't think there was anything inappropriate.

After all, in the Beast Taming Empire, a powerful chef must also be a powerful Beast Tamer.

The profession of Gourmet Hunter can be said to be a combination of chef + beastmaster.

"Frost Moon Tower..." Countless eyes fell on Lu Ran.

No matter how you look at it, Lu Ran is still too young and doesn't look like a chef who can master the art of cooking.

"Okay!" However, after only a moment of surprise, the Lord of Ningchuan City said with a smile on his face.

He had originally wanted to recruit Lu Ran and was thinking of meeting him after the banquet. Now that Lu Ran had come out to participate in the competition, he could get to know him better.

Lu Ran walked onto the stage under the gazes of many people.

Bai Ling and the others were quite speechless. At this time, Shepi cleverly said, "If the five of us go up to challenge him one after another and deliberately lose to him, wouldn't it be possible for us to take away the three resources directly..."

"Why are you fixing the bug here? You think others are idiots, don't you?" Bai Ling said honestly, "Besides, apart from me, do you four really need to lose on purpose?"

Ibeth, explorer, calling a deer a horse: …

That being said, could you please not be so blunt?

The atmosphere among the group was very good, and there was none of the fighting and killing atmosphere that characterizes other secret realm breakthroughs.

"What's going on?" At this time, Shopkeeper Long also came over here, and the others could only say innocently: "Brother Wang is blinded by resources..."

"I come!"

At this time, a yellow-haired young man jumped up onto the stage. He smiled and said, "You are so young, but you have mastered the art of cooking. It's really amazing."

"I, Xia Chiqing of the Xia Chi family, would like to have a beast taming duel with you, but I have a small request, I wonder if you can agree to it."

"If I win, when I go downstairs later, please cut three more fruit plates for our table!"

After this person finished speaking, many people cursed him as "insidious". How could such a shameless bet be made?

The boy from the Xia Chi family, can you please show some promise?

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded silently.

"Haha." As he said that, Xia Chiqing on the opposite side summoned his pet with satisfaction, and two summoning arrays appeared in front of him.

Lu Ran also summoned his pets without hesitation. As the three summoning arrays flashed, their respective war beasts appeared on the stage!
“Roar!!!” “Roar!!!”

Xia Chiqing summoned two enormous feline pets. Their hair was like sharp stones and their long tails were like rock whips. They looked very majestic when they walked out of the formation.

As for Lu Ran, it was naturally Mr. Ha. In the cold wind, Mr. Ha stuck out his tongue and looked at the two beasts with a smile.

Mr. Ha's expression meant: "Oh my god, finally I don't have to cut fruit, fighting is more comfortable."

【Name】：Earth Rock Beast

[Attributes]: Earth, Rock
[Racial Level]: High and Extraordinary
[Growth Level]: Level 15

At that moment, seeing Xia Chiqing summon two pets, Bai Ling and the others were obviously stunned. You know, the previous beast masters only summoned one! Although a first-level beast master can contract two pets, Lu Ran... is still an apprentice... This time he suffered a loss!

"The previous few people all came from small families and did not have the energy or financial resources to raise two pets. This Xia Chiqing was born in a well-known tiger-raising family in Canglan Province. He has a rich background and is not comparable to the previous people."

"So he only has one pet? If that's the case, he's at a huge disadvantage." Shopkeeper Taki was referring to Lu Ran.

"There should be only one..." Shepi and others said, there must be only one, they haven't even broken through the secret realm yet, where can they go to contract the second one.

At this time, Bai Ling also pondered for a moment, and felt how difficult it was to obtain those rare resources. This side quest was not for normal people. The trial-taker's pet would not dare to go on the field without a leading race!
It’s okay to fight one against one, but how can I fight one against two?

"Do you only have one pet?" On the stage, Xia Chiqing saw that Lu Ran only summoned a wolf-shaped pet and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Woof!!" Mr. Ha looked at the two beasts calmly, meaning that he alone was enough.

"Uh." Everyone heard the cry. Well, it wasn't a wolf, but a dog. Although the dog looked like a wolf, if you look closely, the expression was indeed a bit wise and silly. It didn't have the ferocity of a wolf, but more like a domesticated canine.

"Yes, I only have one pet. It doesn't matter. Just fight normally." Lu Ran said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chiqing didn't hesitate. It was the beastmaster's own choice to contract a few pets. Choosing the number had its own advantages, while choosing to invest all resources in cultivating one had its own advantages.

A beastmaster who comes from a big family will not feel completely safe just because he has an advantage in the number of pets. If the opponent has only one pet, there is a great possibility that the training level of this pet is extremely high.

"Ground wave! Flying rock!"

The battle started quickly. Xia Chiqing commanded two pets to attack at the same time. One of the rock beasts was glowing with an earth-yellow light all over its body. Violent shock waves were transmitted from under its thick paws, causing the arena to shake like an earthquake.

The other rock beast raised its head and roared, and sharp flying rocks continued to gather in front of its huge mouth and were released by it, smashing towards Mr. Ha like rock cannonballs.

On the ground and in the air, in an instant, all of Mr. Ha's movement space was blocked. Compared with the beastmasters who had appeared before, Xia Chiqing's two pets had a higher level of control over energy.

However, this level of attack was not something that could be difficult for Lu Ran and Ha Zong to handle. Ha Zong lightly tapped the ground and jumped into the air, ignoring the shaking of the terrain. Then, he opened his mouth, compressed the energy, and roared like the wind! !
boom! ! !
The gale with ten times the energy compressed was blown out by Mr. Ha, and it was not as simple as breaking the branches. The flying rocks were instantly suspended in mid-air, and then flew back under the materialized hurricane. Moreover, the two ground rock beasts, seeing the fierce storm, also changed their faces and felt a strong threat. They quickly stabilized their bodies and used the power of earth to connect themselves with the earth.

"Not good." When Xia Chiqing saw Hurricane, he immediately realized that this dog beast was indeed highly bred and had even mastered the technique of energy compression. Energy compression skills are a god-level skill that varies in race and level. In addition to having a large load, its power can often play a decisive role in the battle!
"Earth element, strengthen!"

Faced with this scene, Xia Chiqing immediately began to chant. A yellow light flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, and yellow links shot out from his fingers, connecting to the two earth rock beasts. In an instant, the aura of the two earth rock beasts surged, and they burst out with even stronger power.

Strengthening and strong winds came at the same time, but even with the strengthening, the two rock beasts were still unable to move due to the strong wind. They could only stabilize their bodies with difficulty and let the flying rocks hit them, because at this time, even if they moved a small step, they might be blown off the ring.

boom! boom! boom! boom! ! !
Hit by their own attacks, the two ground beasts cried out in pain, but before they could react, several tooth-shaped wind blades mixed in with the strong wind also fell on them. With Mr. Ha's control over energy, it was easy for him to shape the teeth in the released strong wind.

"Woo!!!" In an instant, even with the reinforcement of the Beast Tamer, the two rock beasts could not bear the pain and pressure, and were blown over in an instant and fell heavily to the ground!

For a moment, Xia Chiqing stood there in a daze.

This kind of beast taming performance at a banquet should be limited to a certain point. Judging from the current situation, the second generation of the beast tamer of the Xia Chi family has already lost. After all, if Mr. Ha wants to continue the attack, the rock beasts that have turned over will find it difficult to protect the beast tamer himself in the first place.

“So strong.” At this moment, the banquet scene suddenly boiled over. It felt that Lu Ran’s wind-type dog beast was too well-trained. He used the four energy techniques of flow, compression, shaping, and externalization very well. When combined with each other, he directly suppressed the two rock beasts perfectly! !

"I lost." Xia Chiqing was suddenly ashamed at this moment. He realized the gap between himself and this chef. The other party not only had great cooking skills, but also had terrifying ability to tam beasts!
The fruit plate...is no longer available.

"Thank you." Lu Ran said with a smile. When facing an opponent of a supernatural race, even if the opponent is a few levels higher, there is no need for President Ha to hold the sword in his mouth and fight. You know, in the past half month, President Ha's trial location has been the "Abyss Secret Realm". Enemies of this level can only be said to be elite monsters.

"good."

"This is too powerful." The Lord of Ningchuan City, who was in the chairman's seat, as well as Shepi and others, couldn't help but speak.

Finally seeing Lu Ran's strength, Bai Ling couldn't help but frowned, feeling that it was a bit outrageous. You know, the Divine Pet List showed that Lu Ran's pet was a sword dog, which had already integrated the characteristics of weapon control. Now that it was so strong without using weapons, what about after using weapons? She suddenly became a little unconfident in her own strength.

"Interesting, let me ask for your advice."

At this time, the strength of chef Lu Ran attracted a lot of attention and aroused the interest of many young talents. Some geniuses who had not planned to debut too early also decided to take action at this moment.

A young man in cloth armor laughed and said, "I wonder if there will be a fruit plate if I win."

"As long as we can win, we will have it." Lu Ran was speechless again. He didn't expect that a lot of people would come up to challenge for the fruit plate instead of for rare resources.

As soon as this young man in cloth armor walked out, it caused heated discussion again.

"He is the beloved son of Commander Sen of the Beast Taming Corps stationed in Canglan Province." This young man in cloth armor also looked very important. After he appeared, even the son of the Ningchuan City Lord who was standing next to him changed his expression slightly.

Because the other party is also the descendant of a level 5 beastmaster!

Its strength is well-known in Canglan Province.

"Come on!" Sen Qisheng summoned his pet beast under the ring. It was a black BMW with a sturdy body and white flames burning all over its body. He climbed onto the BMW outside the ring and took out a spear from his space equipment! !

"Woo!!!" The flaming horse leaped onto the stage, and the commander's son waved his spear and looked at Lu Ran and General Ha.

【Name】：Cang Yan Ji

[Attribute]: Fire

[Racial Level]: Low-level Commander
[Growth Level]: Level 17

Seeing the attributes of this pet, Shepi and others changed their expressions again. Hey, hey, hey, why are they more perverted than the other?

All level 17 leader races are here.

"Can he still do it? Commander Mori's horse riding skills are quite impressive, and Sen Qisheng, as his successor, is naturally not bad either. In addition, the spear in his hand was forged by a master, which can increase his strength. There should be no more than five young people at this banquet who are stronger than him."

Seeing that Bai Ling and the others seemed to know Lu Ran quite well, Shopkeeper Taki asked with a smile.

"He will win." Bai Ling said firmly. Although the opponent was very strong, she did not forget that Lu Ran and Mr. Ha, the pair of partners, had conquered the BOSS of the middle-level leader race, the Demon Bull Leader, before they had fused their traits at level 10.

No matter how powerful Sen Qisheng is, he is just a genius in a small province among the hundreds of provinces in the Beast Taming Empire. As for Lu Ran, if we look at the fourth generation of beast masters on Blue Star, he should be ranked among the best.

Not on the same level!
At this time, with Sen Qisheng's appearance, the audience who had been amazed at Lu Ran's strength immediately marveled at Sen Qisheng's complete configuration, worthy of being the top second-generation royal in Canglan Province.

"You are a chef, you should know how to use a knife, right? Don't you want to fight yourself?!" Sen Qisheng said loudly, "If you are a man, you should be a cavalryman and fight with real swords and guns!"

"That makes sense." At this time, seeing that the opponent used weapons and equipment, Lu Ran pondered for a moment and also took out a... kitchen knife!

Everyone:?
No way, you really listened to him? Moreover, even if it was a weapon, why was it a kitchen knife!

"Then we should use weapons as well."

"But I'm not good at fighting, so never mind, just let it come."

As he said that, Lu Ran threw the kitchen knife out. Seeing this, Mr. Ha caught it, got into position, and looked back at Sen Qisheng, who was riding a warhorse and lost in thought.

"What the hell?" Sen Qisheng spoke subconsciously, his veins bulging.

Not only him, the whole audience was stunned at this moment.

Give the dog a knife? A kitchen knife dog?
"What a joke!" Sen Qisheng felt that the other party was playing a trick on him and couldn't help but get angry. He shook his legs and flames rose from Cang Yanji's body. The flames wrapped around the spear in Sen Qisheng's hand. The man and the horse came out engulfed in flames, like a god of war in fire.

“Is it really possible?!” Seeing this, not to mention the natives of Xingyue Continent, even Shepi and others who knew Lu Ran’s special skills were stunned. You use a sword, what the hell is a kitchen knife! !
However, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha are not picky people. They can use energy shaping, the "wooden sword" that Ugly Baji just sharpened, or even tree branches to activate the talent of the Sword King. Naturally, this big kitchen knife can also be used. The sword and the knife are inseparable. If there is a sword in the heart, everything can be a sword.

Facing the enemy who was coming at him aggressively and seemed to look down on him, President Ha was surrounded by a gust of wind. He jumped up, his aura rising steadily, his fur moving with the wind, and the sword intent of the blizzard was completely infused into the kitchen knife. In just a moment, President Ha seemed to have become a different creature!
The dazzling "sword light" made Sen Qisheng's heart skip a beat, and he sensed something bad was going on.

At the same time, everyone who had their eyes fixed on Mr. Ha at the scene all felt a chill.

It was as if being dragged into the blizzard by a powerful will.

This feeling... is very similar to eating a fruit plate!
"Hah!" At that moment, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Sen Qisheng still used the family's horse riding skills, that is, the beast taming skills, combined with the power of Cang Yanji, to kill.

boom! ! ! !

Many spectators held their breath as they watched the strong wind and flames interweave, as Sen Qisheng's spear and the kitchen knife held in Ha's mouth collided with each other, and fire snakes flew raging in the air, with roars spreading all around.

At the moment of the confrontation, before people realized who was stronger and who was weaker, Sen Qisheng and Cang Yanji felt a chill in their hearts. Sen Qisheng instantly felt that the opponent opposite was not a dog at all, but rather a monster with infinite power. His hand holding the gun was shaking wildly, and although it was clearly wrapped in flames, he felt as if he had been frozen.

The energy compressed ten times into the kitchen knife continued to explode, and a steady stream of force came. Sen Qisheng didn't dare to imagine how great the opponent's strength was. With a "bang", Sen Qisheng lost his strength in the next second, and the spear in his hand was immediately blown away and fell to the ground.

"Wang!"

At this time, Mr. Ha also used the reaction force to step back, landed on the ground, and looked at the opposite side calmly.

Have you ever heard of the knife-wielding dog?
"This is impossible." After losing his weapon, Sen Qisheng shouted in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that with the help of horsepower, he would be knocked away by a dog holding a kitchen knife!

You know, their combined attack just now could even send a giant elephant flying! !
“Thank you.” Lu Ran spoke again, meaning that the opponent had already lost. If Mr. Ha had continued to attack, the opponent would not have had any power to fight back.

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

Everyone looked at the sword-vibrating dog with dull eyes.

A cavalryman had his weapon knocked away by a dog holding a kitchen knife... This... will be the headline news in Canglan Province tomorrow.

“That just now!!!” But at this moment, even if he lost, Sen Qisheng wanted to lose clearly.

"It's the kitchen's will. My pet also has the kitchen's will." Lu Ran explained: "Although your spear skills are fierce, your will to shoot is not firm enough. It is natural that your weapon was deflected by it."

After Lu Ran finished explaining, everyone was confused, including Sen Qisheng.

The dog has also mastered the meaning of cooking? Meaning, the dog holding the kitchen knife just now is cooking the enemy as food? ? ?
"Fuck... are you kidding me?" Sen Qisheng's eyes darkened. He obviously couldn't accept the fact that a dog could use a kitchen knife and master the art of cooking... Where did this freak come from? This was the first time he lost so miserably!
"This dog might really understand cooking!" someone spoke up at this time.

"When I saw it attack just now, the feeling was very similar to eating a fruit platter!"

"This is incredible... Wait, wait, the platter we just ate was not cut by it."
