Chapter 217: Understanding Skills

After walking out of the military camp, Bruce put the locator into his pocket and said with a smile, “It seems that Vice-Captain John values you very much.”

“Maybe it’s because I’m young.”

Lugh also put the locator in his pocket.

“That’s possible.”

The two of them summoned their flying pets and flew up into the sky.

Lugh took a glance at Bruce’s Azure Eagle, which had the strength of an upper Gold-Grade, and roughly knew the other party’s strength.

Bruce recognized Lugh’s divine pet at a glance. “This Stormhawk of yours seems to have a metal attribute as well. It must have mutated.”

“That’s right.”

“Then consider yourself lucky.”

Soon, the surrounding area became sparsely populated. The two of them flew out of Skylight City, the surrounding safe zone.

The low-level Fierce Beasts on the ground also gradually became denser.

The two of them headed north. An hour later… Bruce pointed to the tall mountains and dense forests in the distance and said, “This is Hepeng Valley. There are a lot of powerful Fierce Beasts in there, and they’re more suitable for us Gold-Grade Beast Masters. However, you mustn’t go too deep. Not only are there King-Grade Fierce Beasts in there, it’s said that there are also Emperor-Grade Fierce Beasts. Even our General doesn’t dare to go too deep.”

After circling around Skylight City, Lugh knew that even Skylight City, the center of the Southwest City-State, was not completely free from the threat of the Fierce Beasts.

“Brother Bruce, do you know about the Anras Mountain Range?”

“I do.” Bruce nodded. “I heard that the Fierce Beasts in the depths of the Anras Mountain Range are not weaker than those in Yandang Mountain. However, most of the powerful fierce beasts have their own territories. They rarely run around.”

Great!

Hearing this information, Lugh felt that it was better to bring his mother and sister to Skylight City.

Following Bruce, he roughly understood the situation around Skylight City, and the sky was almost dark.

After returning to the barracks, Lugh followed Bruce to eat a meal in the canteen.

The food in the canteen of the Emergency Response Team was really good, and there was even a Gold-Grade Fierce Beast meat supply.

They could eat as much as they wanted, and there was no limit to the supply.

After eating, they could even receive a portion of the fruits after the meal.

Those fruits after the meal were all fruits borne by plant-type Fierce Beasts.

Long-term consumption was very beneficial to the Beast Master’s body.

However, Lugh also knew that it was all earned through hard work.

At seven in the morning, Lugh got up on time and had breakfast in the cafeteria. Then, he went to Vice-Captain John’s request to leave the military camp to hunt Fierce Beasts.

After filling in the destination and putting on the locator device, Lugh rode the Stormhawk to the periphery of Hepeng Valley.

He saw a group of more than 500 large Bronze-Grade Azure Cloud Horses.

Lugh jumped down from the back of the Stormhawk in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.

As usual, he let the Stormhawk rise into the clouds to be responsible for reconnaissance. Lugh summoned the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.

Under the sunlight, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s wings reflected a brilliant light. The more one looked at it, the more beautiful it became.

“Go hunt.” Lugh patted the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s small head and said, “Among my four divine pets, you are the weakest.”

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly nodded with some grievance. It flapped its beautiful large wings and flew toward the group of Azure Cloud Horses.

Soon, the seven Azure Cloud Horses left the group of horses.

They walked into the forest and stood in front of the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly was lying on a withered tree. It stretched out its mouthpart and stabbed into the head of an Azure Cloud Horse, sucking it up.

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, has killed a Low-Grade Azure Cloud Horse. EXP: 300!]

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, has killed a Mid-Grade Azure Cloud Horse. EXP: 1,000!]

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, has killed a Low-Grade Azure Cloud Horse. EXP: 300!]

…

Lugh was lying on a large rock near the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, bathing in the morning sun.

This was what Beast Masters were supposed to do.

The corpses of seven Azure Cloud Horses lay beneath the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s feet. The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s two large eyes pierced through the bushes, and another eight Azure Cloud Horses left the herd of horses and entered the forest.

Stepping on their companions’ corpses, they walked up to the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly and stretched their long necks, sending their heads to the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s wet mouthparts dripping with white brain matter. There was another sucking sound.

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, has learned a spiritual skill — Spiritual Barrier.]

Hearing the system’s notification, Lugh told the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly to continue fighting.

Spiritual Barrier was a defensive skill with 360 degrees and no blind spots. It was very suitable for the weaker Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.

An hour later, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s spiritual power was almost exhausted. Its lower body was filled with the corpses of the Azure Cloud Horses.

The Azure Cloud Horses in the distance still didn’t notice that they had already lost more than 70 companions.

“Has you reached your limit?”

Lugh noticed the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly’s weakness.

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly nodded.

Spiritual Control was a skill that consumed a lot of spiritual power.

The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly controlled seven Fierce Beasts at once and used it ten times consecutively. It was already very strong.

Lugh was focusing on training its mind control ability.

“Not bad, you’ve done your best. Come back.”

After digging out more than seventy Bronze-Grade beast essence crystals, Lugh sat on the Stormhawk and continued to head towards the interior of Hepeng Valley.

“Stormhawk, fly a little lower. Don’t go deep into Hepeng Valley. Help me search for Silver-Grade and Gold-Grade beasts. It’s time to level up the Berserk Bear.”

Lugh was not worried at all about the upgrade of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine.

As long as this fellow could find groups of Fierce Beasts, its leveling speed would be extremely fast.

The Berserk Bear’s leveling speed was relatively slow. It was also the most useful to him. Of course, he had to prioritize it.

The Stormhawk’s flying speed was extremely fast. Because it was flying at a low altitude, Lugh could only see green shadows flashing across the ground.

About ten minutes later, the Stormhawk suddenly changed its direction and began to glide slowly.

Lugh saw a green giant python scuttling through the bushes on the ground.

This giant python was so huge that it was almost as big as a the centipede train.

Lugh only took a glance and got the data of the giant python.

A Gold Mid-Grade Giant Python was born with powerful defense and strength. It was very good at close combat.

“Fly above it.”

Just as the Stormhawk flew above the Giant Python, Lugh jumped down from the sky and aimed at the Giant Python.

At this moment, the Giant Python also noticed Lugh. It flicked its tail.

Its tail slapped towards Lugh in the air.

The Giant Python’s tail carried a strong wind howl. As long as the enemy was hit by its tail, they would be crushed into pieces.

However, Lugh was not flustered by the Giant Python’s tail. He raised his right hand, “Violent Bear Paw!”

Bang!

With an explosion, flesh and blood splattered in the air.

The Giant Python let out a miserable cry. It dragged its bleeding body and struggled on the ground in pain.

With just one punch, Lugh directly blew up the Giant Python’s tail.

Lugh looked at his own strength. It was definitely on the Giant Python’s body. However, he did not expect it to be so much stronger.

With a stomp on the ground, Lugh leaped up. In mid-air, he kicked the head of the Giant python.

Bang!

With a loud sound, the head of the Giant Python exploded.

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Berserk Bear, has killed a Middle-Grade Gold Giant Python. EXP: 10,000,000!]

[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Berserk Bear, has learned a skill: Power Burst.]

[Power Burst: In a short period of time, the pet will increase its physical strength by three times. After using power burst, the pet will enter a weakened state. The duration of Power Burst and the duration of weakness will be determined by the pet’s physique.]

Seeing the Power Burst skill, Lugh just wanted to laugh three times.

Power Burst, it was really suitable for the Berserk Bear.

Originally, after having the Myth-Grade talent, the Berserk Bear’s strength was ridiculously strong. Once it used its Power Burst, it could increase its strength by three times. How powerful was this?

Most importantly, the duration of the power burst and the duration of weakness were determined by the Berserk Bear.

The Berserk Bear’s physique had the Mythical-Grade talent, Immortal Body.

The physique of the Berserk Bear was also ridiculously strong.

Lugh felt that he could rip off the head of a Platinum-Grade Fierce Beast.

After being happy, Lugh looked at the headless Giant Python that was still struggling after losing its tail and sent it flying with a kick.
