Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 540 The Scroll of Gray Shadows
At the conference table, Palace Master Li Zhongguang smiled slightly, and the last storage item placed on the table immediately rose into the air, emitting a silver glow.

Swish swish!
As the light swirled, extraordinary artifacts imbued with spiritual energy emerged, attracting everyone's attention as they emitted their aura.

These items are somewhat similar to the extraordinary items Chen Ying and his group had previously acquired, including defensive and escape items, as well as some potions that looked exactly the same. Clearly, these were prepared specifically for them.
However, there are also different props, among which the three props with the brightest light are the most eye-catching.

Their appearances are respectively a gray-black paper roll, an earth-brown disc, and a crystal ball that sparks with electricity.

Even without examining them, Ye Mo could sense from their emanating aura that these three items were all extraordinary artifacts of the sixth tier. Only extraordinary artifacts of this level could possess such immense power.

"Ye Mo, these are the props prepared for you. I won't go into detail about these, as I've introduced them too many times before. If you still don't understand, there are special instructions in the storage ring. You can read them again later."

"But what I really want to introduce are these three extraordinary items."

Before the three extraordinary artifacts that unabashedly released their aura, Palace Master Li Zhongguang looked at Ye Mo beside him with a sharp glint in his eyes and said solemnly.

"This paper-like item is a supernatural artifact specifically designed to conceal one's presence. The forger named it the Scroll of Gray Shadows. In addition, it possesses the ability to accelerate, which will be quite helpful for your escape."

"Of course, it is not without its drawbacks. Besides the fact that its concealment and acceleration abilities can only be activated five times each, although it is not limited by the user's level, the consumption of using it is indeed quite large for a fourth-level transcendent, especially when the acceleration and concealment abilities are activated at the same time."

"However, given the regenerative abilities of your dragon pet, it might be able to hold out for ten minutes, and ten minutes is already quite impressive."

Faced with Lord Li's introduction, Ye Mo looked at the [Scroll of Gray Shadows]. After the exploration was activated, some information about this extraordinary item immediately entered his mind.

【The Scroll of Gray Shadows】

【Attribute: Darkness】

[Rank: Rank 6]

[Rating: 86 (Excellent)]

[Requirement: Activating and maintaining equipment capabilities requires sufficient energy.]

[Fixed Skill: King-level Dark Realm (Can be used five times, each use lasts for a maximum of one hour, after use it will send the selected target into the Dark Realm...)]

[Fixed Skill: King-level Dark Wings (Can be used five times, each use lasts for a maximum of one hour. After use, it grants the selected target dark wings, provides acceleration, and...)]

[Description: This extraordinary item is crafted primarily from the spirit crystals and flesh and bones of a sixth-tier transcendent Dark Night Raven. It possesses exceptional abilities and is a rare and precious item even among sixth-tier transcendent equipment.]

It was indeed excellent, even exceeding Ye Mo's expectations. This extraordinary item was absolutely top-tier, even compared to the items that Palace Master Li had given to the other three.

If we were to compare them more carefully, he personally felt that this [Scroll of Gray Shadows] would probably be ranked first.

After all, the abilities of this extraordinary item are truly outstanding. Its two skills, [Dark Realm] and [Dark Wings], are not just about the concealment and acceleration abilities that Lord Li mentioned in his introduction; those two abilities are at most the most prominent aspects of these two skills.

Among them, the [Dark Realm] has not only the ability to hide, but also has a certain degree of control and defense. Apart from having little offensive capabilities, it can be described as a versatile item.

The other skill, [Dark Wings], is relatively average, but in addition to acceleration, it also has considerable attack power. Furthermore, due to its dark attribute, it also provides a certain degree of stealth when escaping, making it a rather good skill.

The extraordinary item [Scroll of Gray Shadows], which possesses both of these skills, is clearly an exceptional piece of equipment.

At least that's how it is for him. Although both skills on this equipment can only be used five times, as long as enough energy is provided, each activation can keep the skills running for a full hour, which is already terrifying.

Perhaps for other fourth-tier transcendents, let alone maintaining the skill for an hour, even maintaining it for a few minutes would be quite good, after all, this transcendent item is of sixth-tier quality.

But it's a different story for him. As a member of the dragon race, Isaac's basic attribute strength is already close to that of a fifth-tier transcendent. If you add his talents and skills, even ordinary fifth-tier beings might not be able to match him in terms of basic attribute strength.

In this situation, Isaac might be able to sustain himself using the [Scroll of Gray Shadows] for even longer than Lord Li believes.

As Ye Mo nodded slightly, Palace Master Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, continued to introduce the other two extraordinary items.

【Meteor Disc】 and 【Thunderstorm Pearl】 are the names of the other two extraordinary items. Their abilities are very simple and straightforward: once activated, they can unleash an attack comparable to a full-force strike from a peak sixth-tier opponent.

This is far more powerful than the extraordinary items given to Chen Ying and Qingqiu Yaoyao before.

The reason for this is that the activation conditions for these two extraordinary items are more difficult, similar to the [Scroll of Gray Shadows], requiring a large amount of energy to activate.

However, if the energy is insufficient, the power that these two extraordinary items can unleash may not even reach the sixth rank.

That's why he was given these two extraordinary items with even higher potential.

The purpose of these two one-time extraordinary items is quite simple: they are for Ye Mo to use to destroy the ritual totem. Therefore, it is best not to use them under other circumstances and they should only be used as a trump card.

However, this didn't bother Ye Mo himself. After all, when he went to the Dragon Palace before, the Crimson Flame Dragon Lord had given him a defensive item called the [Reverse Flame Dragon Scale], an item that could unleash an attack from a peak sixth-tier expert.

So when it comes to trump cards, he has absolutely nothing to lack.

Even more so, he brought Bai You and Xiao Liu'er with him on his trip to the Troll Plane. Although the latter could not summon her fifth-tier flesh puppets, the former's summoning array was not as restrictive.

After all, flesh and blood puppets can be considered as living beings, and once they are summoned in another world, they will almost certainly be locked onto by the will of the troll plane.

However, the spirits of the demonic beasts summoned by the spirit summoning array are different. At least based on the information he obtained, they are unlikely to be locked onto by the will of that plane.

However, nothing is absolute. We'll find out when we go to the Troll Plane and try it out.

If he can't be locked down, Bai You's summoning array is an extremely terrifying trump card. As long as enough sixth-tier spirit crystals are provided, he's essentially carrying an unrestricted sixth-tier transcendent powerhouse. Even though the sixth-tier demon beast spirit summoned by a fifth-tier summoning array is significantly weaker than an ordinary sixth-tier, it's still an insurmountable powerhouse for most fifth-tier transcendents.

However, if the spirit summoned by the spirit summoning array is locked, then under normal circumstances, it will be difficult for him to use this trump card.

Even so, the spirit summoning array can still be his trump card to overturn the table.

After all, according to the information he knew, being locked on would only result in the suppression of some of the power by the will of the plane, while the location would be constantly marked, making it impossible to escape the enemy's pursuit.

However, if he were to actually enter the troll tribe and stand before the ritual totem that was his target, he wouldn't care about any of that. He would definitely use all his trump cards to destroy the target directly.

As for locking and suppression, at that time the will of the plane only locked the spirits summoned by the spirit-summoning array. Once the spirits dissipated, the lock would naturally dissipate as well.

In contrast, Xiao Liu'er's flesh and blood puppets are different. If those fifth-tier flesh and blood puppets are not summoned to the troll plane, it will be fine. But if they are summoned, and they are locked and marked by the plane's will, even if Xiao Liu'er takes them back, she will not be able to remove the mark.

Therefore, the use of the fifth-tier flesh golems, which are one of our trump cards, requires even more careful consideration.

"These extraordinary items are very valuable, but if you encounter an insurmountable crisis during your mission, don't hesitate to use them. Your lives are just as precious."

After putting the items back into his storage ring, Li Zhongguang sent them to Ye Mo. Then, he gave the two people and two demons in front of him serious instructions.

Just as he said, the extraordinary items given to Ye Mo and the others, in terms of value alone, would be more than the savings of an ordinary fifth-tier king-level beast tamer.

But Ye Mo, Qingqiu Yaoyao, Chen Ying, and Jiu Kong Ying Shu Anlan, who were carrying out the mission in front of them, were all true geniuses, rare strongmen among the fourth-order transcendents, and future fifth-order transcendents.

If we're really comparing value, these individuals are undoubtedly far more precious than inanimate objects or extraordinary artifacts.

That's why, among the extraordinary items he prepared for Ye Mo, Chen Ying, and others, the ones for escaping and saving their lives were extremely precious, second only to a few extraordinary items used to break through ritual totems.

Hearing Palace Master Li's words, Ye Mo and the others nodded, indicating that they understood. Of course, even if they hadn't nodded, they knew their lives were precious, and if a life-or-death crisis were to occur, they would definitely use whatever trump cards they had.

Those extraordinary tools specifically designed to destroy ritual totems—when their lives are truly in danger, they'll use them on their own without even needing Lord Li's reminder.

After all, if they were to lose their lives, wouldn't the extraordinary items they carried just go to the other side?

"Well, besides these props, your performance in this mission will also determine the merits you receive, so do your best, practice and learn more in the remaining time, and improve yourselves as much as possible."

Li Zhongguang bent over, a gentle smile appearing on his aged face. He nodded to them and said something, then asked, "By the way, you all should know about meritorious service, right?"

"know."

"I know."

"not sure."

What is merit?

Both Chen Ying and Qingqiu Yaoyao expressed their understanding. The former, a nearly forty-year-old Beast Tamer, was highly experienced and naturally quite aware of the merits of the Battle Hall. The latter, a member of the Qingqiu clan, despite her young age, was also very clear about these matters.

Ye Mo and the Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan were unaware of the situation.

Ye Mo had been too busy lately to look into it properly, so he knew some things but not much.

As for the Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan, he was completely unaware of this. Although the Shadow Rat population was not small, very few of them had close ties with human society, except for those who became the spirit pets of Beast Tamers. Anlan was one of them.

Although he attended school after his intelligence was awakened and completed all the courses of Yanhuang's nine-year compulsory education, he has been cultivating within his clan ever since graduation. Even when he goes out to work or gain experience, he doesn't have much contact with humans.

That's why Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Dark Waves seemed to know nothing about these things.

"Then let me explain it to you briefly." Li Zhongguang nodded slightly and said to them, "Merit points are actually another kind of currency. They can be exchanged for everything in the Imperial Battle Hall's exchange shop. Well... as long as you have enough merit points."

"Perhaps you don't understand now, but you only need to understand one thing: as long as you have enough merit, you can even ask a legendary expert to help you."

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu Yaoyao remained expressionless, clearly already aware of the matter. Chen Ying looked surprised; although she had heard of it before, hearing it again still shocked her.

Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan's silver pupils widened instantly, his shock evident. For the Shadow Rat clan, which didn't even have a legendary powerhouse, this was truly astonishing.

Ye Mo was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but he quickly understood and his surprise vanished. While it might sound shocking to have a legendary figure intervene, he didn't find it particularly surprising when he considered that the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Palace had to sell his blood and scales to pay off his debts.

Even legendary powerhouses are living beings; they too have needs and desires, and naturally, they need resources and money. Therefore, when they can't rob, making money in this way is perfectly normal.

"Grandpa Li, what about legendary resources..." Ye Mo raised his head and asked Li Zhongguang with a hopeful look.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhongguang smiled slightly, nodded, and then looked at Qingqiu Yaoyao, Ye Mo, and the others, saying seriously, "That's right, merit points can also be exchanged for legendary-level resources."

"However, if you really want to exchange for legendary-level resources, the merit points required are not something that can be achieved with ordinary merit points. You need enough royal merit points or even legendary merit points to exchange for legendary-level resources."

“Here, merits are divided into three types: ordinary merits, royal merits, and legendary merits.”

"Ordinary merits can be exchanged for various extraordinary resources up to the fourth tier, as well as some limited fifth-tier resources. Monarch merits can be exchanged for various extraordinary resources up to the sixth tier, as well as some limited seventh-tier legendary resources."

"As for legendary merits, they can be exchanged for extraordinary resources of all levels. Even if the exchange shop doesn't have the resources you want, as long as you have enough legendary merits, the alliance can specially mobilize its resources to find the resources you need."
