King of Beasts.

Chapter 6 The Hope of Upgrading

The demon cat was suppressed just like that. Lu Ran looked at the demon cat whose neck had been bitten off and felt it was too magical. Although everything here was called a projection, the bleeding demon cat was still a real life...

Cat, you died tragically.

But it's either you die or I die.

Ok?
Before Lu Ran could sigh for too long, suddenly, the demon cat that Mr. Ha was holding was surrounded by white light. The cat itself, along with the blood flowing from its body, were completely shattered and disappeared under the white light!
"Ugh??"

When he found that the spoils had inexplicably disappeared from his sight, Mr. Ha showed a surprised expression.

What surprised it even more was what happened next. The demon cat that had completely disappeared actually still had some traces left. It eventually condensed into a light dot the size of a firefly and flew into the body of Ha.

At this moment, Mr. Ha felt that his physical strength seemed to have been strengthened.

"Level up by killing monsters?" Lu Ran saw the changes after the demon cat disappeared, and immediately remembered something and looked at Mr. Ha.

However, after seeing that Mr. Ha's [Growth Level] is still [Level 1], I couldn't help but feel confused.

"That should be correct... By killing the enemy, Mr. Ha's strength has become stronger. Although not much, it has indeed been improved."

"Isn't one enough for the upgrade?"

"How many do I need to reach level 2?"

"Wait! Perhaps, this is the meaning of the existence of the Trial Secret Realm." Lu Ran thought a lot at once.

Lu Ran's original idea was to complete the novice tasks normally, avoid some conflicts, and survive the day. After he was more familiar with what was happening to him, he would plan and try some high-difficulty challenges.

However, after discovering that he could level up by killing monsters, and that Mr. Ha's fighting ability was far stronger than he had imagined, his thoughts wavered.

Is it possible to appropriately improve Mr. Ha's level here?

After all, the final reward seems to be related to the trial performance. The reward for carefully surviving to the end and fighting all the way to the end will definitely be different.

Perhaps, this novice trial secret realm is not as scary as I thought. Instead, it is a good training opportunity for newcomers.

The situation of the previous poster was so dire, it is very likely that they were too weak!
Of course, it is also possible that there really are more powerful enemies in the secret realm... But at least, if he encounters a demon cat like the previous one, Mr. Ha seems to be able to deal with it completely!
Lu Ran was very conflicted and wanted to seize as many opportunities as possible. He had a hunch that this mysterious black card would definitely affect the world situation, but he was also worried that he would get into danger because of his greed.

"Woof!!"

At this time, Mr. Ha kept digging the ground with his claws, as if he was trying to find the missing demon cat...

"Stop." Lu Ran said with a frown, "That guy has completely disappeared. Next, we should... just stay where we are. You can take a rest and recover your strength."

"Wang?"

Lu Ran ignored Mr. Ha who tilted his head. He was actually very dissatisfied with the effect of the Data Eye.

It would be nice if we could see Mr. Ha’s experience bar as he moves from level 1 to level 2 through the Data Eye, or at least show a percentage. But unfortunately, no matter whether we look at Mr. Ha’s data through the Data Eye or the Contract Card, we cannot tell how many demon cats he needs to kill to reach level 1.

However, Lu Ran did have an unexpected new discovery. He noticed that the Data Eye seemed to be able to view his own information.

[Race]: Human
[Beast Taming Level]: Apprentice
[Beast Taming Skills]: None

It was still very simple information. The only thing that concerned Lu Ran was the so-called beast taming skill.

In Mr. Ha’s attribute table, there is also a skill column.

But whether it is Mr. Ha or his own skill bar, both show no skills... How can he obtain skills?
If they acquire skills, perhaps their combat effectiveness can be improved a little.

"We just had a battle here, which caused quite a stir..."

"It might attract new enemies. We just need to wait here. This place is quite spacious. If we encounter enemies, we can take the initiative to a certain extent."

Lu Ran explained to Mr. Ha that it was better to stay at this "birth point" than to go through the complicated bushes.

This is Lu Ran’s final decision, it all depends on fate.

"Uh-woo!" Mr. Ha nodded to indicate that he obeyed the order.

In its understanding, Lu Ran is responsible for thinking and it is responsible for fighting.

"Be alert all around."

While waiting for the prey to come, Lu Ran was still not idle and continued to observe with the Data Eye.

After all, according to the prompts, the Data Eye can not only view biological information, but also resource information.

What are resources?
After some exploration, Lu Ran made some significant discoveries.

Ordinary weeds and trees showed nothing when viewed with the Data Eye, but there were some unique plants nearby that Lu Ran discovered were useful.

For example, he found a red mushroom under a tree. [Name]: Hemostatic Mushroom

[Level]: Normal

[Introduction]: Crush and apply the fungus to slowly heal wounds. Do not take it orally, otherwise you will hallucinate and see little people dancing.

Also, he found a few green fruits on a thinner tree that was completely different from the other giant trees.

【Name】：Lime Fruit

[Level]: Normal

[Introduction]: The fruit has juicy flesh and a very strong sense of fullness. Eating it can restore a certain amount of physical energy. The wood scale fruit is loved by fruit insects, and there is a high probability of obtaining extra protein nutrition after eating it.

“Fortunately, we didn’t leave immediately. There are actually such resources hidden nearby, but these resources are outrageous…” Lu Ran had a stomachache. If they had fled from here at the beginning, it would still be a question whether they could find such resources elsewhere.

Without considering the disappointing introduction, just relying on these two resources and staying where you are, as long as you don't encounter any too strong creatures, I think you will have no problem holding on for a day.

“These things should be usable, right?” Since the demon cat just disappeared, Lu Ran was worried that the hemostatic mushrooms and wood scale fruits would also disappear after he picked them.

But it turned out that Lu Ran was overthinking it. After he tried to dig out a hemostatic mushroom, the mushroom did not disappear. It seemed that it just could not be taken out of the secret realm.

"Not bad." Lu Ran's eyes lit up. With these things, he was more confident that he could help Mr. Ha level up well.

Ok?
"Uh... " When Lu Ran was in a good mood, he felt a heat coming. He saw Mr. Ha running over at some point, breathing hot air and drooling at the hemostatic mushrooms, as if asking if he could eat them.

"Didn't you just eat before you came here???"

"Wang!"

"It's just a fight, how could it be all consumed? This is an external medicine, not something to be taken orally. You are not allowed to take anything else here without my permission."

"Wang."

"No, it just won't work."

After Lu Ran and Mr. Ha had a conversation, Mr. Ha finally gave up the idea of ​​eating hemostatic mushrooms in the face of Lu Ran's disdainful look. In fact, compared to eating meat, Lu Ran's Erha prefers to eat vegetables, fruits and other non-meat foods, so it has a nickname, called vegetable dog.

Next, Lu Ran began to pick wood scale fruits with great difficulty. Although he and Mr. Ha did eat when they came, it would only last half a day at most. Once they entered the hungry state again, their abilities in all aspects would definitely decline.

At this time, the wood scale fruit that can restore a certain amount of physical strength, fill the stomach and quench thirst becomes very important.

After some time.

Lu Ran has already collected all the nearby wood scale fruits and hemostatic mushrooms.

Half an hour had passed since they came in.

What made Lu Ran speechless was that by staying where they were, it seemed that they did not wait for any new enemies to arrive.

"Do we have to take the initiative to attack?" Lu Ran frowned, but the next moment, his expression changed immediately.

swish swish ——

Mr. Ha, who was lying on the ground with his eyes narrowed, suddenly opened his eyes and became alert.

Because the familiar voice sounded again.

"Experience baby is here!"

"Wang Wang!"

However, Lu Ran didn’t feel happy for long, because the rustling sound... came from all directions.

Lu Ran’s heart tightened. There were many creatures coming this time... definitely not just one!
After a while.

A drop of sweat ran down Lu Ran's face.

The black bushes were torn apart again, and five figures emerged from them.

Mr. Ha: …

Lu Ran: ...

Ha, this is a simple novice secret realm? Lu Ran was confused.

He suspected that the creator of the secret realm was targeting him! He didn't cheat!

Listen to me...thank you...
