Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 198 Enemy or Friend?

Having mediated the relationships between the mythical beasts, Jiang Feng also had a new plan.

Communication between mythical beasts is naturally also very necessary.

However, the situation is different during battle compared to when things are calm.

First, formulate a communication strategy, and then start looking for the next mythical beast.

Jiang Feng released his grip on Xiao Hei, and Dou Lu ran forward. Xiao Hei flew into the sky, and they continued their journey.

This place is indeed undeveloped, and there are many mythical beasts here.

Moreover, so far, the lowest level Jiang Feng has encountered seems to be second-tier.

Of course, it's also possible that the first-tier magical beasts were on the outer perimeter, and since they had gone deeper in, they encountered second-tier magical beasts.

After walking for a short while, Jiang Feng stopped.

The surroundings gave her a creepy feeling, making her feel very uncomfortable.

It's obvious they've been targeted by something.

"Awoo!" The black dragon launched the first attack, scrambling down with its claws, and the white snake hanging from the tree fell down.

Jiang Feng swallowed hard.

She really disliked snakes.

Although I've killed quite a few snakes in the Illusionary Realm over the past six months, I always had teammates by my side.

Now, although her uncle is not far away, she is the only one fighting against this snake.

"Fight the Deer, use the Shadow of Light." Jiang Feng revealed his intention to finish the battle quickly.

Moreover, the [Charge] skill is not very useful for snakes.

The snake's body is too flexible; even if it bumps into something, it will quickly become entangled.

So this can be considered not an attack, but rather an offering to be sold.

Doulu was responsible for attracting the opponent's attention, while the main attacker became Heilong.

Since snakes cannot fly and cannot attack the black dragon in the sky, Jiang Feng reduced the fighting deer to its original size of three meters, making it less likely for the snake to attack it.

But this snake is venomous!

Although it is white, it is not albinism, but rather an adaptation to the environment; it automatically turns this color in winter.

In the summer, it might be a different color.

Surrounded by snow, snakes could easily hide, so Jiang Feng naturally didn't stand on the ground, but sat on the deer's back.

This way, when a snake appears, she can react in time and leave quickly.

Xuan Yi, who was above, took over the responsibility of attacking, and while he was happy, he carefully searched for his opponent.

The snake was naturally very wary. When the fighting deer attacked it, it hung directly on a tree, seemingly trying to avoid the attack and see if the fighting deer could run into it.

"Watch out!" Jiang Feng said to Xuan Yi, then raised a shield in front of Dou Lu.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Feng wants to be with Dou Lu.

That snake was poisonous.

The venom it sprays will definitely cause some harm to the human body. Although it won't be fatal, once you get infected with the negative status, subsequent battles will become much more difficult.

The black dragon unleashed its control skill, then used [Flaming Blade] again.

This name was changed by Jiang Feng; it was originally called Claw.

Later on, I still think "Sharp Blade" sounds better—that's Xuan Yi's opinion.

That's why it's called a sharp blade.

The black creature, which had been controlled, was struck by the claws, leaving a black mark on its body.

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.

"continue!"

The snake was white, but the marks were black, making the black marks stand out against the white background.

"Awoo!" The dragon understood!

Continue the attack, increase firepower!

Soon, the snake was covered in wounds, its body bearing the marks of being corroded by dark energy.

At the same time, its movements became slower.

During this process, Doulu naturally released an amplification skill for the Black Dragon.

Then, when the snake's movements became very slow, the Light and Shadow were released.

There is nowhere to run!

The snake coiled itself up, as if it were preparing something.

Jiang Feng warned the Black Dragon to be careful, and at the same time had the Fighting Deer use the first stage of its charge skill – high-speed movement.

As expected, the opponent had one last blow up their sleeve.

After seeing Jiang Feng take action, the white snake instantly released the venom hidden in its fangs.

Even if it dies, it won't let this human get away with it!

Jiang Feng had anticipated this action and dodged it before the venom was sprayed.

The rapid movement of the funds was not towards the snake, but towards the other side, behind the big tree.

The venom landed with a sizzling, corrosive sound, instantly erasing everything in its path.

If you spray this stuff on your body, it might end up looking just like the ground.

All the bones in the body will be corroded.

The moment the venom hit the ground, Jiang Feng, fearing the snake might have a backup plan, remained vigilant and alerted the black dragon above.

For Jiang Feng, the snake is indeed a symbol of treachery and cunning.

After hearing Jiang Feng's reminder, Xiao Hei became very vigilant, and sure enough, the other party was faking death.

With venom still lingering in its mouth, after Jiang Feng unleashed two Yin-Yang Slashes, it used venom and a skill unleashed with all its might towards Xiao Hei.

Then the whole snake fell to the ground.

Despite Jiang Feng's warning, the black dragon still couldn't dodge all the attacks, and its wings were hit.

That snake was also of the water element, and the water it released contained a slight venom.

The attack pierced a hole in the black dragon's wing.

"It hurts!" she cried as she flew to Jiang Feng's side.

At this moment, Ji Zhang reminded them from behind: "A special container is needed to handle this kind of poisonous substance."

Jiang Feng and his group had never encountered these poisonous magical beasts before; they always simply placed them directly into their spatial storage.

Jiang Feng has two spatial buttons, as his teammates all know, so most of the time, those magical beasts are piled up on Jiang Feng's side.

Each time they emerge from the Illusion Mirror, they spend a whole day processing the corpses of the magical beasts. Useful ones are kept to be sold later, while useless ones are given to the school, which will find them useful.

Jiang Feng also directly put the two phantom beasts he had just defeated into his spatial storage.

The space button that Jiang Feng had bought with Yao Yue was used by him to store these things, so as not to mix them up with other things.

"After this snake dies, the venom seeps into its scales and bones, leaving toxins inside."

Ji Zhang took out a pair of gloves and a large box from his spatial storage.

"This box is used to isolate the toxins. When you sell them, you can put them in the box together."

"If there are no boxes, don't collect them," Ji Zhang said from the side. After pausing, he added, "Otherwise, collecting them will contaminate your other materials, which would be a loss."

Jiang Feng nodded instantly.

"good!"

"Take it and install it. Its teeth are pretty good, and snakes also have cartilage. That cartilage can be used to make some special things."

The materials from second-tier phantom beasts are already valuable enough to sell for a price.

Although it's not very expensive, if you have a lot of it, it can amount to a considerable fortune.

Many beast tamers survive by hunting these low-level magical beasts.

A second-tier beast tamer team can only deal with two or three third-tier phantom beasts at most at the same time.

Moreover, casualties are very likely to occur during the process of dealing with them.

These second-order materials are also quite important to them.

"The battle just now was quite good." The battle with the snake still didn't put Jiang Feng in a completely difficult situation, so the color matching between him and the phantom beast was still a bit rough, but it didn't affect the final battle.

Jiang Feng has been fighting for over an hour and should take a break, which is why Ji Zhang came over to give Jiang Feng a summary of the previous three battles.

With the two phantom beasts and Jiang Feng, taking down a phantom beast that had just entered the second tier within twenty minutes shouldn't be too much of a problem.

After Jiang Feng finished tidying up the materials for the magical beast, he sat down next to him to eat something and rest. Ji Zhang then began to summarize for Jiang Feng the things that Jiang Feng had not noticed earlier.

His combat experience was so vast and rich that even the points he casually mentioned caught Jiang Feng's eye.

"Also, don't listen to that stupid phoenix's advice." As soon as Ji Zhang finished speaking, Qiuqiu, who had been lying in the Beast Illusion Space, immediately sat up and flapped its wings.

"Don't let the communication between the magical beasts use your mental sea as a bridge. Although this can increase the synergy of the magical beasts, it will be a huge burden on your mental strength."

Jiang Feng's mental strength is not high enough at present, and he is completely unable to bear such communication costs.

"Mmm," I soothed myself in my head.

"Our Qiuqiu isn't stupid, she's just fluffy."

He listened intently to Ji Zhang's words.

The little bird flew around angrily in the fantasy beast space.

Jiang Feng was at a loss, wanting to comfort him but not knowing what to do.

But what my uncle said made a lot of sense.

However, when it comes to anger, it's possible that once you've had enough, you'll stop being angry.

After flying around in the Beast Space for a while, Qiuqiu lay down at the bottom of the space, looking somewhat tired.

Jiang Feng sighed and continued listening to what Ji Zhang had to say.

"Of course, that method isn't impossible, but you'll need to have at least 500 points of mental energy to use it."

"And don't use it in battle if you're not skilled at it."

"At this stage, what you need to cultivate is the tacit understanding between the magical beasts themselves."

Ji Zhang told Jiang Feng some tips for practicing.

For example, let two mythical beasts fight each other, or something like that.

"These are minor injuries, nothing serious." He pointed to the small hole on Xuan Yi's wing.

Xuan Yi instantly retracted its wings, its tail hooked around Jiang Feng's waist, and the entire dragon pressed itself against Jiang Feng's body.

Naughty!

"The most important thing is, you can't spoil them too much!"

Look at this black dragon, what does it look like?

"Awoo!" Xuan Yi called out to him in a childish voice.

Jiang Feng first scratched his head, then said, "It just likes to act a little spoiled when it's not fighting, but it's very obedient when it's fighting."

Xuan Yi nodded instantly.

"Uh-huh."

Ji Zhang smiled and helplessly reached out to rub the little black dragon's head.

After resting, Jiang Feng and Ji Zhang continued walking forward. This time, Jiang Feng paid close attention to all the places Ji Zhang had mentioned earlier.

The battle would naturally proceed much faster.

At noon, the last phantom beast was killed, and the Fighting Deer's third skill successfully separated.

The two-stage skill trigger has been transformed into two targeted skills.

One is high-speed movement, the other is impact.

However, while it has been separated, it is still somewhat difficult to use it proficiently.

And indeed, a problem was discovered: the attack power decreases when using impact alone.

We need to be more flexible in how we use these two skills.

Jiang Feng and Ji Zhang found a relatively open place to sit down.

"We've been here for three days."

"We'll go up the snow mountain again the day after tomorrow to find the mythical beast you need."

"You just made a phoenix pact the day before yesterday, so your control over illusionary power and mental power is not very stable right now."

"You haven't yet digested the enormous increase in illusionary power and mental strength it brought you."

"Two days of training here should be enough."

Jiang Feng did not test his current level of illusion power and mental strength. He was able to kill a second-tier illusion beast by himself within twenty minutes, so his strength was at least higher than that illusion beast.

Some second-tier phantom beasts were even taken away in just over ten minutes, which wasn't particularly difficult for Jiang Feng.

"That phoenix should have already reached the third tier!"

After Ji Zhang finished speaking, Jiang Feng's eyes widened.

Third order?

"Because it was a voluntary contract with you, and it wasn't a subordinate contract, you were able to form a contract with a third-tier phantom beast when you were at the second tier."

However, a third-tier contracted phantom beast cannot help Jiang Feng break through to the third tier.

It will simply enhance her illusionary power and mental strength significantly, or rather, store them up and wait for her body to absorb them slowly.

"I didn't realize it." Jiang Feng used his mental power to carefully examine Qiu Qiu lying in the Beast Space.

This fluffy thing looks like a fledgling bird that hasn't grown up yet, and it's already at level three?

"His advancement is very slow. By the time your Fighting Deer reaches level four or five, he may not even be able to reach level four."

Ji Zhang continued speaking, and Jiang Feng nodded, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

That's more like it. If you keep making rapid progress, that would be really scary.

The last time we met, Qiuqiu seemed to have a hard time even flying, but now he says he's already reached the third level!

Jiang Feng also sent Doulu and Heilong back to the Beast Illusion Space to rest.

After a morning of fighting, the battle continues in the afternoon, so it's essential to maintain high energy levels.

However, just as Jiang Feng and Ji Zhang were eating, Ji Zhang's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Xiao Feng, be careful." After saying that, the griffin appeared beside Jiang Feng.

Ji Zhang didn't make any move, but simply looked in one direction.

"Someone is coming." But it's unclear whether they are friend or foe.
