Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 189 Starry Sky Beast Pet Egg

The dense barrage of mechanical missiles accurately struck the Flame Owl Beast.

The damage caused by these mechanical missiles was terrifying. However, after the smoke and flames dissipated, the giant star beast's body was charred black and lay on the ground. It did not turn into light and disappear, nor did it enter the battle space.

"Ding! The Starry Sky Beast Flame Owl has entered reincarnation and is expected to enter its second form in three minutes. Destroying the Starry Sky Beast's corpse will interrupt the reincarnation!"

A system notification suddenly sounded, and Lu Chaoding couldn't help but frown.

"There's a second form? We can't afford to waste time; we have to destroy its corpse within three minutes! We'll use the Extraordinary Greatsword Technique!"

Lu Chao immediately changed his equipment and was about to continue his attack when he suddenly received another system notification: "Ding, the Occasionally Unreliable System has activated, issuing a mission: Protect the corpse of the Starry Sky Beast and wait for it to successfully reincarnate and enter its second form. Mission completion reward: +100 Unreliable Lottery Tickets!"

"This system..." Lu Chao almost tripped over. "What kind of tasks are these? They don't make any sense at all! But the task is simple: 100 unreliable lottery tickets—why not take them if they're free!"

Lu Chao crossed his arms, intending to wait quietly for three minutes.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared above the corpse of the Flame Owl Beast.

The figure was surrounded by lightning, with a long sword hovering behind him, giving him an imposing presence.

"Hmm, it's the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect! What's he up to?"

Lu Chao felt a sense of foreboding, and then he saw the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect launch an attack on the corpse of the Flaming Owl Beast.

Boom boom boom boom boom, he remotely controlled his longsword, the sword darting through the air, causing bolts of lightning to bombard the corpse of the Flaming Owl Beast.

"This NPC is going to ruin my plans!"

Lu Chaoding quickly stepped forward and shouted from afar, "Hey, Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect, stop right there!"

Upon hearing his shout, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect actually stopped. The NPC turned to look at Lu Chaoding and said, "Who are you, and why are you telling me to stop!"

"You don't recognize me, sect leader?"

Lu Chaoding raised an eyebrow, immediately remembering that he possessed 21 layers of magical aura, making it difficult for ordinary NPCs to remember his appearance. After a moment's thought, he quickly said, "I am Lu Chaoding, the head of the Reliable Sword Sect. We've met before! Elder Tianlei, please do not damage the Flame Owl Beast's body; it is very useful to me!"

"Sect Leader Lu?" The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect looked puzzled, but quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Since Sect Leader Lu has spoken, I will stop. I know that Sect Leader Lu's skills are profound and unfathomable, but I still have to remind you that this beast is not dead, but has entered the process of reincarnation. Once he successfully reincarnates, his life form will change and his strength will be enhanced."

"Of course I know, this leader intends for it to successfully reincarnate and enter its second form!"

Lu Chaoding knew the characteristics of the mysterious aura. It would make ordinary NPCs either excessively disregard him or excessively value him. The words of this Supreme Elder of the Thunder Sword Sect did not show excessive disregard, so he valued him excessively. There should be no problem with him obeying his words.

"Since Sect Leader Lu is waiting for it to complete its reincarnation, he must have a foolproof way to suppress it. I won't cause any trouble here!"

The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect cupped his hands, indicating that he was about to take his leave.

But at this moment, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Rain Sword Sect also appeared. He snorted coldly and said, "Senior Brother, are you planning to hand over the entire corpse of this Starry Sky Beast to this brat surnamed Lu?"

Lu Chao looked at the Supreme Elder of the Tianyu Sword Sect and knew that this NPC was underestimating him too much. His intelligence had been reduced the most obvious. Even though he had been slapped in the face several times, he just refused to believe that he was strong.

"Junior brother, how can you say that? This giant beast was shot down by Sect Leader Lu, so its corpse belongs to him!" The Supreme Elder of the Thunder Sword Sect righteously rebuked the Supreme Elder of the Rain Sword Sect. "Sect Leader Lu's cultivation is profound; how dare you disrespect him? Quickly apologize and beg for forgiveness!"

"You want me to beg for mercy? What a joke!" The Supreme Elder of the Tianyu Sword Sect sneered. "If Senior Brother Tianfeng hadn't risked his life to injure this giant beast, how would this Lu fellow have had a chance to act? He only managed to take advantage of Senior Brother Tianfeng by defeating the beast. Senior Brother Tianlei, now that Senior Brother Tianfeng has been killed by this beast, how can we, as fellow disciples, simply hand this beast over to outsiders? Why don't we join forces and kill this Lu fellow too, so we won't have him in our way!"

"You idiot!" The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "If you want to die, fine, but don't drag me down with you!"

The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Rain Sword Sect asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

"Sigh!" The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect shook his head, but looked at Lu Chaoding and cupped his hands, saying, "Sect Leader Lu, do you need me to subdue this madman? Don't listen to his nonsense. He and I are no longer from the same sect. It would be more appropriate to say that we are enemies."

"Oh, do as you please!"

Lu Chao waved his hand casually. He thought the NPCs had been dumbed down, which was quite amusing!

Upon hearing Lu Chaoding's words, the Supreme Elder of the Thunder Sword Sect bowed again, and then actually flew his sword to attack the Supreme Elder of the Rain Sword Sect.

The two quickly entered the battle space, leaving a battle flag in the void.

At this moment, the reincarnation of the Flaming Owl Beast was completed. With a soft "poof," a penguin-like giant beast broke through its charred back and slowly crawled out.

The little guy had the words "Flame Owl" on its head, but Lu Chao couldn't see its attribute information. It seemed to be unaccustomed to walking. When it came to the ground, it staggered and squeaked. Suddenly, it fell backward with a thud and let out a painful roar.

Actually, calling it a "little guy" is not accurate. Its body is as tall as a three-story building, and it is chubby and plump. Even a creature the size of an elephant would be just a toy that it can easily handle.

"Ding! The Starry Sky Beast Flame Owl has completed its reincarnation and successfully entered the second stage. Mission complete! Congratulations on receiving 100 Unreliable Lottery Tickets. The items have been sent to your storage space. Please check!"

"Ding! The Occasionally Unreliable System has been activated. Please defeat the Flame Owl Beast in its second state. The reward for completing the mission is 100 Unreliable Lottery Tickets. Please explore the details yourself."

"Now you want me to defeat it again? Interesting, I'll take this quest!!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chaoding was about to use his range advantage to launch an attack on Yan Xiao.

Suddenly, the giant penguin sensed Lu Chaoding. It immediately opened its mouth and spat out a golden halo with crackling lightning on it, which shot straight toward Lu Chaoding.

"Huh, it attacked first! Interesting, its attack range is impressive, it can hit me from that far away?"

Lu Chao was in no hurry and wanted to experience the power of the light circle himself, but Super Pessimus jumped up and took the initiative to meet the light circle. Suddenly, a Super Pessimus sword appeared in his hand. With this sword, he cleaved the light circle down with one strike.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

The Flame Owl emitted a rapid and shrill sound. It opened its mouth again, narrowed its eyes, and this time spat out several rings of light.

Lu Chaoding didn't want Super Ruffian to take the bullet for him anymore, so he pointed at the Flame Owl Beast, and a large number of mechanical missiles were mercilessly bombarded it.

The mechanical missile flew much faster than the light ring, so Lu Chaoding struck the Flame Owl Beast first despite being a latecomer.

After entering the battle space, the Flame Owl Beast anxiously looked around, revealing a human-like expression of fear.

"You chubby penguin, you're kind of cute, it's a shame..."

Lu Chao shook his head, quickly organized his equipment and skill slots, and once the preparation time was over, he launched a merciless attack on the Flame Owl Beast.

A dense array of damage numbers appeared. Although the Flame Owl was a celestial behemoth, it couldn't withstand Lu Chaoding's explosive output. Lu Chaoding's casual normal attack killed it instantly. The Flame Owl's corpse dissipated along with the smoke, and a large, golden treasure chest appeared where it had stood.

"I'm so strong! I can kill people with a flick of my wrist! I thought the second form of this Void Beast was something special, but it turns out it can also kill people with a flick of my wrist."

Lu Chao felt no sense of accomplishment. He stepped forward and opened the treasure chest. As soon as the lid was opened, a large white egg popped out. The egg swelled in the wind and soon became the size of a small car.

[Starry Sky Beast Pet Egg: Special item, five-star item, limited to use by special classes such as Beastmaster and Conqueror. Use will hatch a Starry Sky Beast pet, which can be used as a mount.]

The white giant egg has attribute information, but the latter half of the attribute information is all question marks.

"A pet? This must be some kind of setting from another dimension... Beast tamer, conqueror, so this giant egg is just for show for me, I can't even hatch it."

Lu Chao shook his head. He put the [Starry Sky Beast Pet Egg] into his storage space, and when he looked at the treasure chest again, there were actually two more items inside.

The first item is a square block of black metal called "Super Metal," but its attribute information is all garbled.

The second item is the [Star River Jade], a five-star high-grade material, the purpose of which is unknown.

Lu Chao was not very satisfied with these three spoils of war.

The next moment, the battle space shattered, and he returned to the third level of the Ancient Sword Cultivator's Cave. The system notification that the mission was completed came immediately afterward, and Lu Chaoding had once again obtained 100 unreliable lottery tickets!

At this moment, the battle flag was still floating not far from Lu Chaoding, and the Supreme Elders of the Thunder Sword Sect and the Rain Sword Sect were still fighting. Lu Chaoding was not in a hurry to explore; he just waited to see the outcome.

Suddenly, the battle flag shook violently, and a disheveled figure flew out from it—it was the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Rain Sword Sect.

He was breathing heavily, flustered and hurried, not daring to linger for even a moment, and immediately flew away on his sword into the distance.

"This is... a disengagement! He escaped thanks to Master Dunkong's disengagement!"

Lu Chaoding rubbed his chin. Three seconds later, the battle flag shattered, and the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect appeared. He cupped his hands to Lu Chaoding and said, "My strength is insufficient, and this madman escaped. Please forgive me, Sect Leader Lu!"

"Look at what you're saying! What crime have you committed? Quickly, get rid of the formalities!" Lu Chao retorted. "He ran away, so be it. This gang leader won't hold it against him."

"Sect Leader Lu is truly magnanimous, I admire him greatly, please accept my bow!" The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect bowed with his hands clasped.

Lu Chaoding felt a little uncomfortable and waved his hand, saying, "Relax, what's there to worship here! But since you're so smart, I have a suggestion for you: leave. Don't continue exploring this third level. There are two powerful bosses here. If you encounter them, you'll likely be in grave danger!"

"Very well, I am willing to heed Sect Leader Lu's teachings. I will now go find a teleportation array to leave!"

The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Sect bowed to Lu Chaoding once more, then took his leave. The 21 mysterious auras surrounding him made this NPC pay excessive attention to Lu Chaoding, to the point that he treated Lu Chaoding's words as imperial edicts.

For example, right now, when Lu Chao suggested he leave, he left without saying a word.

Seeing that he had left, Lu Chaoding also began to continue his exploration.

There were many buildings on the second mountain peak. Lu Chaoding walked around them one by one and collected a lot of materials and pills, but those materials and pills were very ordinary and not worth mentioning.

Two hours later, Lu Chaoding headed to the third hill.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the strongest beings in this third level, that Sheep Taoist and the Evil God Dom, are on this small hill. I just wonder if there are any other rare things on this small hill."

Lu Chaoding was filled with curiosity, but he was also cautious. He used the clone mirror to create a clone of himself, and let the clone walk in front while he followed behind.

Before long, Lu Chaoding encountered the evil god [Dom].

This is an octopus-man with human limbs and torso, but a greasy octopus head with two bulging, light bulb-like eyes, and wearing a black tuxedo.

"Evil God, Dom! Is this guy from the MechWarrior Universe?"

Lu Chao muttered something under his breath.

At the same time, the evil god Dom turned his head and looked at Lu Chao, his two light bulb-like eyes radiating golden light.

A system notification suddenly sounded: "Ding! The evil god Dom is watching you. You feel inexplicable panic. Your health has been permanently reduced by 1000 points!"

"Ding! Please note that you are being watched by the evil god Dom. Every minute that passes, your health will permanently decrease by 1000 points."

"Holy crap, just looking at me costs me 1000 HP permanently! Why are you staring at me like that...?"

Lu Chao was very annoyed and was about to make a move when he suddenly received a system notification: "Ding, the Occasionally Unreliable System has been activated, issuing a task: Stare at the evil god Dom for ten minutes. Reward for completing the task: Unreliable item +1!"

"Unreliable system! What are your criteria for posting tasks? Why are you trying to scam me again?!"

Lu Chao complained, but after careful consideration, he realized that staring at the evil god Dom for ten minutes would cost him 10,000 health points, and all he would get in return was an unreliable item. So, this mission wasn't impossible to complete.
