Chapter 104: Subduing the Demonized Gale Hound

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The moment he released the destructive storm, Fang Yuan felt like he was going to faint. The battle between the vine lizard and the gale hound had consumed too much mental energy. It was also possible that the higher the pet’s grade and level, the faster the mental energy would be consumed by the trainer.

The destructive storm was not only an area-of-effect killing skill, but also an ability to cause additional damage to buildings.

At that moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the ground on a street in Shanghai that was rarely frequented by people.

A gust of wind blew up the ground, and it happened to be noon time. The sun penetrated the ground and shone on the vine lizard.

“Quick!”

Fang Yuan was swaying, and he immediately summoned Xiao Yin back to his space. He was already standing there, exhausted.

The moment the sunlight shone on it, the vine lizard revealed a satisfied expression and closed its eyes.

The flower bud on its body, which was tightly wrapped by the vines, actually bloomed. It was purplish-red like a poisonous flower.

The sharp blade vines on its back also became thicker and stronger, tightly entangling the gale hound.

After absorbing enough sunlight, the flower suddenly bloomed, bringing with it a huge shock wave that forced everyone back dozens of steps. At the same time, a bunch of spore-like things floated from the flower to the gale hound’s body, surrounding it.

The gale hound was first attacked by this shock wave, and then the spore landed on its body. Its eyes began to lose focus, as if it was about to fall asleep.

It kept shaking its head, trying to get its spirits up, but eventually fell asleep.

At that moment, the vine lizard stuck out its tongue and directly hit the gale dog between its eyebrows.

Then it rolled its tongue, took out a black crystal from between its eyebrows, and threw it to Fang Yuan.

“This is?” As the battle was over, Fang Yuan’s spirit could finally be relieved. He picked up the crystal that the vine lizard threw to him.

“This is a magic core. With it, you can use the power of magic. According to your human classification, its attributes are monsters.” The vine lizard explained.

“Magic?”

The moment Fang Yuan touched the crystal, the system was awakened again.

[ Ding! Black magic core detected. Grade: Platinum high-grade. ]

[ Do you wish to proceed with 100 times increase? ]

[ Host can choose from the following increase methods. ]

[ First, give up the 100 times increase and obtain a platinum high-grade black magic core. ]

[ Second, receive 100 times increase in quality and obtain a platinum pinnacle black magic core. ]

This time, there were only two options. There was no doubt that he could only choose from the two options.

When Fang Yuan held the black magic core in his hand, a paragraph entered his mind:

“The world is equal. Why should the illusionary beasts be controlled by humans? We must take back our own world…”

“Ugh…”

Fang Yuan’s mind was imprinted with this piece of information, and an unbearable pain appeared.

“Relax, relax.” The vine lizard glanced at Fang Yuan and said calmly, “This is why many pet beasts demonize. It’s because they can’t bear the pain. Put it away. The current you can’t fully grasp this piece of information. Moreover…”

The vine lizard looked at the gale hound lying on the ground, motionless.

“Its soul imprint has disappeared. It seems that its master abandoned it.”

Fang Yuan put the black magic core into his backpack. Following the vine lizard’s line of sight, the gale hound was lying on the ground, seemingly dying.

“You can save it. Its nature may not be that evil.”

Fang Yuan slowly walked to the fierce gale hound’s side. It seemed that its power had been greatly reduced because it had lost its magic core.

“Where’s Pan Rui?”

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan suddenly looked around. The lantern monkeys had fled in all directions because of the destructive storm just now. Pan Rui probably had taken this opportunity to escape.

“Should I save it? Think about it carefully. It has hurt you before, although it was not intentional.”

“Do I still need to think about it?” Fang Yuan summoned the healing queen without hesitation

“Heal it.”

As the white light surrounded his body and then dispersed, the bloodstain in the gale hound’s mouth gradually disappeared.

It woke up and then stood up, looking at Fang Yuan warily.

Fang Yuan stroked the gale hound like he was stroking a puppy’s head, and the gale dog calmed down.

“Are you willing to become my pet?”

Fang Yuan asked softly. After losing its master’s contract, it had two choices. One was to wait for death, and the other was to find a new master.

As a pet that had entered into a soul contract with a human, it had to feed on the human’s mental energy in order to maintain its own ability.

The fierce gale hound looked at the vine lizard. Seeing the vine lizard nod, it also nodded.

Closing its eyes, Fang Yuan and the gale hound formed a contract.

[ Scientific name: Gale hound. ]

[ Bloodline: Heavenly dog. ]

[ Rarity: Platinum high-grade (damaged)]

[ Attributes: Fire, wind, beast. ]

[ Positioning: Attack/assassinate. ]

[ Skills: 1. Pounce; 2. Flame; 3. Wind chasing (intermediate); 4. Flame spitting. ]

[ Loyalty: 5/100. ]

Damaged? This was the first time I had seen such a grade.

It was probably because it had been demonized previously, so it could no longer advance. For most pet beasts, being unable to advance was a very tragic thing, which meant that it would be at this level for the rest of its life. Even if its level increased, it could only increase its attributes within a certain range.

Therefore, the gale dog seemed to be in a very low mood. As a battle-type pet beast, it also had its own dignity.

But it didn’t matter.

[ Ding. Gale hound detected. Grade: Platinum high-grade (damaged) : Level: level five-high. ]

[ Do you wish to proceed with 100 times increase? ]

[ Host can choose from the following increase methods. ]

[ First, give up the 100 times increase and obtain platinum high-grade (damaged) gale hound. Level: level five-high. ]

[ Second, receive 100 times increase in attributes and obtain a platinum high-grade gale hound. Loyalty is increased to 100. Level five-high. ]

[ Third, receive increase in attributes by 100 times and obtain a platinum high-grade (damaged) gale hound. Level six-low. ]

Without hesitation, he chose the second option and repaired the gale hound to increase its loyalty.

At this moment, the gale hound felt the changes in its body. It felt that the power of the flames seemed to have returned. It looked at Fang Yuan with a little doubt.

“Your grade has been repaired. You can’t do anymore evil in the future.”

Fang Yuan said indifferently. Then, he saw the gale hound pounce on him like a puppy and lick his face. “Don’t, it’s so itchy.”

Although he said that, Fang Yuan was still quite happy. On his trip to the black market today, he actually obtained two high-level platinum pet beasts!

Moreover, they were one grass and one fire. They were the important companions that he wanted for challenging the arcane realm.

When the vine lizard saw that the gale hound had returned to normal, it recalled the sudden increase in its own strength.

It seemed to have sensed something, but it pretended as if nothing had happened.

Fang Yuan did not gain nothing either. He understood that as the number of pet beasts increased, he had to constantly increase his mental power.

Only in this way could he become the strongest in the future training journey.
