King of Beasts.

Chapter 8 The End
How can this be.

Seeing the changes in the pendant, Lu Ran was confused.

A family heirloom? I didn’t even notice it after I came in… Was it brought in too?

However, the changes it has undergone at this moment are too astonishing.

Originally, because of the appearance of super powers and black cards, Lu Ran felt that this world was strange enough and there must be something unknown.

And now, Lu Ran was even more surprised after discovering that even his own heirloom had a noble origin.

He looked puzzled.

He looked inward at the black contract card floating in the spiritual sea.

My brain is still a mess.

Therefore, these supernatural powers are not modern and have not only existed recently!

Rather, it has existed since ancient times, for who knows how many years!

My family heirloom is definitely related to this series of supernatural powers.

“There are too many things that I don’t understand.”

"Or, was one of my ancestors chosen by the black card and became a beastmaster? This deer antler was taken out from the secret realm by them."

"However, if black cards have existed since ancient times, then why has there been no information about them..."

"If it wasn't for that poster, if the black card hadn't appeared in my hand..."

"Anyway, how many people were chosen by this damn place to become beastmasters?"

"Ah, ah!" While Lu Ran was lost in thought, Mr. Ha, who had been staring at the pendant in a daze, came to his senses and felt the pain of the wound again, howling.

It hurts...

Its cry woke up Lu Ran who was thinking, and made him react quickly. He said:
"I'll use this to heal you." The healing ability from the divine deer is of epic rarity level, so it must be better than the common hemostatic mushrooms that are everywhere, right?
This pendant must have been covered in dust and lost its original power, so it was not detected at first.

And now, because it came to this place and absorbed a certain amount of "supernatural energy", it revived, that's how it should be.

"The power of healing."

Lu Ran, holding the hemostatic mushroom, looked at Mr. Ha and pulled off the pendant.

At this moment, the familiar feeling of holding the contract card came back.

Lu Ran took a deep breath.

He focused his thoughts on them, wanting very much to cure Mr. Ha.

The next moment, the divine deer pendant emitted a crystal golden light!

Immediately afterwards, golden light wrapped around Mr. Ha's wound, and an incredible scene happened in front of Lu Ran's naked eyes.

The torn wounds on Mr. Ha's body were now... recovering quickly.

In just a few seconds, the bloody wound was healed immediately without even a scar left.

Except for a few bald spots and some missing dog hair, the cure is almost perfect!
Mr. Ha even felt his body was warm, as if he was being nourished by plants and trees.

"Oh!" In just a moment, Mr. Ha was stunned again, not understanding what was happening.

And Lu Ran also looked very happy.

He quickly rubbed Mr. Ha's injured part and said, "You've become balder, but also stronger, and your skin and flesh have become much tougher!"

"Woof!" Mr. Ha was stunned, he lowered his head and looked at his body with heartache, but then he looked at the deer antlers in Lu Ran's hand with a fiery look.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but we seem to be invincible.” Lu Ran smiled.

Forget it. I’ll think about the heirloom issue after I return.

“Woof woof!!” Mr. Ha’s eyes flashed like flashlights and he nodded frantically. He felt that with this, let alone five cats, he would dare to fight even fifty of them!
This thing is so powerful. With it, as long as you are not killed instantly, what kind of injury can't be recovered?
"Don't be too outrageous." Lu Ran said, "We can't put all our hopes on the protection of our ancestors, but with such an accident... the plan has to change again."

He clenched the pendant, took a deep breath, and recalled his mother's appearance in his mind.

Although he didn't know what the divine deer pendant was, Lu Ran understood that this thing was definitely their greatest reliance at the moment. Their safety in this trial secret realm... and the feasibility of the planned leveling up were greatly improved again.

……

Because he obtained the epic item, Lu Ran felt that if he continued to live in poverty, he would be unworthy of the heirloom left by his ancestors.

After killing two demon cats, Mr. Ha moved up from level 1 to level 2. So what about from level 2 to level 3?

Lu Ran wanted Mr. Ha to improve his level as much as possible here and gain stronger combat power.

One step slow, all steps slow. This principle applies everywhere. Since conditions permit, Lu Ran does not intend to miss any opportunity to harvest resources.

If there is any crisis in the future, I will have enough strength to better protect myself and the people I cherish.

Why can’t I be the “tall guy”?

Someone has to be at the top of the world.

If a bug fighter can declare himself king, why can’t a beast tamer do the same?
"If I keep getting stronger like this, even if that dream becomes reality, I should be able to stop those monsters from destroying the city beneath my feet."

Lu Ran thought of the dream again and couldn't help but become more motivated.

Four hours later.

Deep in the forest.

"Idiot, didn't I tell you that even though we have items that can heal injuries, we should still try not to get hurt!"

After Lu Ran and Mr. Ha recovered, they became more ambitious and began to actively look for prey.

During this period, they encountered some new extraordinary creatures.

Most of them are levels 1~3.

The racial hierarchy is mainly low-level extraordinary.

For example, the tooth-eared rabbit, as a type of rabbit, is extremely aggressive and is looking for death!

For example, the giant rat beast looks bigger than a duck, and the little thing looks quite delicate.

It's a pity that there are no tools, and it's an illusion. Otherwise, with Lu Ran's personality, he would have to dissect and study these creatures he had never seen before.

These creatures, without exception, even if they were 1 or 2 levels higher, had no chance of winning against Mr. Ha. In comparison, the demon cats were more difficult to deal with. After all, it was called the Demon Cat Forest, and these creatures were probably just food for the demon cats.

This made Lu Ran feel that facing these guys was the difficulty that a novice in the secret realm should have.

But apart from those, there are some difficult guys. For example, Mr. Ha just dealt with a level 3 green snake of a medium-level extraordinary race.

Of course, Mr. Ha himself also suffered considerable injuries.

Perhaps it was because the healing power of the divine deer pendant gradually made Mr. Ha feel safe along the way, and his fighting style became more and more brutal. In order to win, he began to fight brutally by exchanging injuries for injuries.

In nature, this is a very extreme way of fighting. After all, in nature, most fights are for survival and food. If you get hurt, you are away from life. However, Mr. Ha doesn't care about these things. He quickly figured out a new way of fighting, which made Lu Ran have to admit the dog's talent.

But this is too reckless and could easily lead to accidents!
For example, this snake is poisonous! Fortunately, they picked some detoxifying herbs on the way.

"Woof." Holding the big snake, Mr. Ha showed an innocent expression.

At this time, its level has been upgraded to level 3.

This made Mr. Ha and Lu Ran extremely excited.

If they can continue to upgrade at this speed, then in just 24 hours, they should be able to ensure that they remain highly motivated throughout the fight. After all, it feels great to become stronger.

However, although leveling up was fun, they still paused at this moment.

Lu Ran found some traces of human habitation.

It was a dilapidated tent.

The reason we dealt with the big snake just now was because it was guarding near the tent.

After approaching the tent cautiously, nothing else happened.

There was nothing in the tent except a yellowed travel notebook.

Lu Ran picked up the travel notes and started flipping through them excitedly. He couldn’t understand the words on the notes, but perhaps because of the Data Eye, he was able to understand their meaning unexpectedly.

[This is the first stop of my trip. It used to be a deep and dense forest, but now it is the Forest of Demon Cats.

I came with full confidence to investigate the real reason for the forest changes that year, but I found out that I was wrong.

My father is right. I shouldn’t have come to this place...】

The travelogue came to an abrupt end.

“No more?” Lu Ran was stunned.

"Riddler, get out of the secret realm!" Lu Ran got angry when he saw the little information recorded in the travel notes.

He also thought that in addition to the trial missions, there might be some hidden missions that could be unlocked.

Even without this travel note, he knew that "forest mutation" was the keyword of this secret realm.

"Woof." Beside him, Mr. Ha gave way to Mr. Lu calmly.

Let's go level up.

“That’s right, we only have one day.” Lu Ran sighed. The main reason was that there was too little information about the Demon Cat Forest. In addition, they were too weak. Even if there were any other secrets in this secret realm, it might be troublesome to explore.

But after Lu Ran carefully analyzed this note, he found that it did reveal some information...

Exploring the real cause of the mutation... Perhaps the well-known black rainstorm that causes biological mutations is only the superficial cause.

The owner of the travelogue's father didn't allow him to come to this place, perhaps indicating that this person's father knew some inside information. The guy who left the travelogue must have a high background.

Lu Ran remembered these, and then decided to level up first. It was useless to remember these for the time being.

Gradually, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha became addicted to leveling up, and they kept traveling back and forth in the Demon Cat Forest.

Along the way, there weren't any enemies that were too difficult to deal with. The most difficult situation I encountered was fighting one against many and facing a group of demon cats.

In this situation, injuries are inevitable. If it were a normal group of Beast Tamers, even if they could win, their injuries would probably not allow them to continue.

However, injuries are the easiest to solve for Lu Ran and his friends who have the broken antler of the divine deer.

"Level 4!"

"This is too difficult."

Time passed little by little, and Lu Ran, who could see the countdown of the task, was always keeping an eye on the "one-day limit".

At this moment, they had been running around for nearly 24 hours, either looking for monsters or fighting. If it weren't for the fruits that replenished their energy, he and Mr. Ha would have been exhausted long ago.

Even a sled dog can't withstand such torture.

For the first three levels, Mr. Ha improved quite quickly, but for levels 3 to 3, Lu Ran and Mr. Ha spent nearly a day on the process and still haven't completed it.

There is no progress bar for the growth level, so Lu Ran and the others can only fight as much as possible. After all, this is the only way they know to increase the level.

Fortunately, hard work pays off. When there was only 1 minute left in the mission countdown, Mr. Ha, who finally killed a demon cat, finally raised his growth level to level 4.

And then, something happened that made Lu Ran even more happy!

"It's over..." A series of prompts appeared, and Lu Ran felt relieved. Then, he unexpectedly looked at the prompt about returning.
