Chapter 122: High-Grade Black Iron

[Ding! Your Pet Stormhawk, has killed a Low-Grade Black Iron Gray-Toothed Rabbit. EXP: 3!]

[Ding! Your Pet Stormhawk has killed a Mid-Grade Black Iron Gray-Toothed Rabbit. EXP: 10!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host. Your Pet Stormhawk, has successfully evolved to High-Grade Black Iron!]

Five days later, Lugh heard the sound of a system notification. The Stormhawk had finally gathered enough EXP to level up to High-Grade Black Iron!

The Beast Masters had cleared out all the Fierce Beasts in this wasteland, leaving only the Black Iron-Grade Fierce Beasts behind.

Lugh had never encountered a single High-Grade Black Iron-Grade Fierce Beast. High-Grade Black Iron-Grade Fierce Beasts were also extremely rare. If not for the fact that the Stormhawk was a flying-type pet beast and had a vision that far surpassed ordinary ferocious beasts, it would have been extremely difficult for Lugh to encounter a High-Grade Black Iron Fierce Beast!

In this wasteland, Low-Grade Black Iron beasts were the most common!

Thus, for the sake of 300 experience points, Lugh spent five days.

But was the Stormhawk leveling up very slow?

Of course not!

The majority of the students’ pet beasts were only Low-Grade Black Iron beasts.

The growth of a Beast Master was actually very slow.

The graduation criteria of the Divine Beast Academy was actually to raise the strength of a pet beast to Top-Grade Black Iron within three years.

But even so, there were still Beast Masters who couldn’t graduate every year!

It could be seen just how difficult it was to raise the strength of a pet beast!

The reason why Lugh’s strength could grow so quickly was due to the experience points leveling method of the pet training system!

“Screech!”

The Stormhawk seemed to have felt its strength increase as well. It soared through the air in a carefree manner.

Sometimes, it burrowed into the clouds, and sometimes, it swept across the land…

After it calmed down, it landed in front of Lugh and rubbed its head affectionately against Lugh’s face.

Other than Lugh, the Stormhawk did not allow anyone to get close to it.

After eating a Gray-Toothed Rabbit, the sun was about to set.

“It’s getting late. We should go back!”

Just as Lugh was about to leave, the Stormhawk used its wings to push him away.

Lugh asked doubtfully, “You want to take me to try?”

The Stormhawk nodded and rubbed its head against Lugh’s face again. It seemed to be acting coquettishly.

“Alright! But don’t hurt me!” Lugh warned, “Also, don’t fly too high. If you really can’t carry me, I’ll be safe too.”

The Stormhawk flapped its wings and flew into the sky again.

Lugh stood on the spot, opened his arms, and shouted, “Come!”

The Stormhawk swooped down, stretched out its claws, grabbed Lugh’s shoulders, and flew up into the sky with Lugh!

Lugh opened his eyes and watched the land gradually move away, and the clouds gradually approach…

“Is this the feeling of flying?”

The strong wind blew, making Lugh unable to breathe.

“Screech!”

“Aiya! Silly bird! Silly bird! Don’t fly too high! Don’t fly too high!”

Only after the Stormhawk brought Lugh down a little did Lugh heave a sigh of relief.

Generally speaking, if a pet beast wanted to fly with a Beast Master on its back, its strength would have to be at least Silver-Grade or Gold-Grade. Moreover, the pet beast had to be a large flying pet beast.

Apart from some tricks, the most important reason for Lugh’s flying was the Stormhawk’s uniqueness!

Lugh’s Stormhawk was much larger than other birds and beasts of the same level!

Also, the Stormhawk’s control over wind energy!

After coming to the wilderness and fighting many Black Iron Middle-Grade Demonized Sparrows, Lugh found that the wind blade damage of the Black Iron Middle-Grade Stormhawk was ten times more destructive than the wind blade damage of the ordinary Black Iron Middle-Grade Demonized Sparrows!

On the other hand, even if the wind blade of the ordinary Black Iron Middle-Grade Demonized Sparrow hit the Stormhawk, it would hardly cause any substantial damage to the Stormhawk!

The Child of the Storm would greatly increase the effects of the wind-type skills, and it would be greatly immune to the damage of the wind-type skills!

This was the true ability of the Mythical-Grade talent, the Child of the Storm!

It could be said that the Stormhawk was the nemesis of the vast majority of wind-type fierce beasts!

Right at this moment, Lugh saw that there seemed to be a battle going on in the distance.

“Let’s go and take a look!”

From afar, Lugh saw a group of fiery-red Diamond Ants frantically chasing after a group of young Beast Masters in the air.

After so many days of searching, Lugh already knew that there was a Diamond Ant nest in the wilderness. Every day, there would be Diamond Ants sent out to search for food.

Lugh, who was cautious by nature, had never gotten close to the Diamond Ant nest, because every Diamond Ant nest had flying ant guards.

If there were fewer flying ant guards, Lugh wouldn’t be afraid.

But the problem was that the flying ant guards were the elite strength of the ant nest, and their strength wasn’t ordinary. Moreover, once they appeared, there would usually be hundreds or thousands of them, densely packed together!

Lugh glanced at the group of flying ants. There were a total of 21 of them.

The strongest one was only a High-Grade Black Iron, the other 20 were Middle-Grade Black Iron, and Low-Grade Black Iron.

Those students who were being chased by the flying ants were really pitiful!

“Run! They are catching up!”

“Damn it! How did we meet a group of flying ants?”

“Why didn’t anyone save us?”

“Help!”

“…”

Lugh took a look and saw that the one running at the front was an acquaintance of his!

He didn’t expect her to be so good at running!

“Class Monitor, do you need help?”

“Who can help us? Don’t talk and keep up the pace. Run as far as you can. Maybe those Diamond Ants will give up halfway…”

After Nana finished speaking, she ran a few more steps, and then she suddenly realized!

Why is Lugh here?

When did he come?

She turned her head and looked at Lugh, who was floating in the air with his legs off the ground and walking side by side with her. She looked as if she had seen a ghost…

“Lugh… Why are you flying?”
