Chapter 88 The Fire Stealing Group
The next morning, Russell, who was full of energy after resting, appeared early at the Senluo City Cultivation Research Institute.
Now he has even more authority than Researcher Li Moran, and he can have unimpeded access throughout the institute.
On Lu Yinning's side, Russell excused himself by saying that the operation must be kept secret, and repeatedly emphasized that this was just an accident, and that he had never actively participated in some obviously dangerous hunting operations. This stubborn little girl finally finally Stop.
Today he got up early and rushed to the research institute just to completely clarify some of the questions in his mind.
However, Dr. Natsuki was busy on the phone at the moment, and Russell could only sit in the reception room and drink a drink in boredom, while sensing the status of Ayou and Daodao Mantis through the beast-controlling space.
After experiencing an unexpected and dangerous battle, he became the one who gained the most among the crowd.
Relying on the energy filtering ability of the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, Ayou absorbed the energy of the Evernight Curtain for a long time while staying awake. This is probably something that even the Moon Demon Rabbit could not have expected.
These abilities derived from late-eighth-level pet beasts of the same attribute are not only of high quality, but also contain high-level power rules, which have improved Ayou beyond any cultivation material it has absorbed so far.
Under the nourishment of those black energies, Ayou's growth progress nearly doubled to more than 30%, and she realized in one fell swoop the Nightmare Butterfly Shadow whose original progress was only 10%.
In addition, several new progress bars appeared in its energy development column.
Although most of them are messy and useless abilities, they also include two skills that are very important to the development of Ayou's strength.
The first is the prototype of domain skills, the primary night field. The initial effect of this skill is only to reduce the surrounding brightness and affect vision. However, as the skill advances, it can eventually transform into a very powerful eternal night curtain.
The second is a racial passive skill of the Moon Demon Rabbit, "Void Spirit Power". The function of this skill is to slightly enhance the power and release speed of ghost and fairy skills, and at the same time greatly increase the penetration properties of these two attribute skills. .
The so-called penetration attribute refers to the penetration effect of offensive skills on defensive skills. Skills with strong penetration attributes can sometimes even achieve the effect of ignoring defensive skills.
If these two skills can be successfully understood, combined with the Nightmare Butterfly Shadow skill that can summon physical phantoms, Ayou's output ability will reach a very exaggerated level.
Daodao Mantis, on the other hand, has initially understood Mantis Fist, and at the same time, he has also encountered the high-level skill "Unparalleled Fighting Will" of the war dragon clan.
With these two skills as a foundation, coupled with the extremely outstanding strength of the Mantis race, Daodao Mantis only needs to continuously improve its physical fitness to successfully grow into a powerful melee pet beast.
However, the opportunity to watch the battle of ninth-level pet beasts naturally does not come once every three to five. If you want to understand these high-level skills, in addition to continuing to train hard and cultivate them, you will probably have to rely on "Source of Evolution" points.
In the past few days when he went to the Black Dew Forest to cooperate with the arrest mission, Ayou, who had more than a thousand surrendered tribesmen, received a total of two sources of evolution. At this rate, it would take a year and a half to fully activate one skill. After all, the sales are too slow.
"It seems that the scale of the Imperial Insect House is still not big enough, but I'm afraid we really won't have the money to expand it in a short period of time..."
Russell murmured as he calculated how much expansion was needed to quickly accumulate the source of evolution.
At this time, Dr. Xia Mu finally finished the phone call and walked over with a stack of information.
"Sorry, I just reported something to Longquan City. I've been waiting for a long time... This is a reward for you."
As he said that, he handed the information in his hand and a delicately packaged box to Russell.
Before opening the box, Russell smelled a faint fragrance. The fragrance was somewhat similar to warm orange fruit, but the smell was purer and the feeling of warmth was more obvious.
Carefully opening the lid of the box, Russell saw three fruits that were as warm and clear as topaz. He had seen pictures of these fruits many times on the Internet. They were the fruits of the Sun Tree, the sacred tree of the Southern Principality. The reward for the champion of the rookie group competition is the fruit of the sun tree. Because the schedule was shortened by the attack, this reward seemed a bit long overdue.
However, the official reward standard announced by the alliance at that time was one fruit, but for some reason it became three now.
As a top-level light attribute plant, the level of the Sun Tree can match that of ninth-level beasts, and the fruits it produces are naturally extraordinary.
The most rare thing is that the properties of the sun tree fruit are as mild and harmless as the warm orange fruit. Even ghost-type pets that are mutually restrained by the light system can take this material painlessly, but the effect will be slightly reduced.
Originally, if there was only one fruit, Russell planned to give it to the mantis, but now he had three sun tree fruits, and Ayou could taste one of them.
However, now is not the time to rush to cultivate. What he is most concerned about is still what happens in the Black Dew Forest.
"I know what you want to ask. Let's take a look at this stack of information first."
However, before Russell could speak, Dr. Xiamu pointed at the stack of information and said.
This is a backup of the data submitted by the institute to the headquarters of the Beast Control Alliance in Longquan City, and it is also the information that Dr. Xia Mu plans to tell Russell today.
Even if it wasn't to win over a talented young beast master, as he was contributing to this operation, he was fully qualified to know some inside information.
After picking up the information and reading for a while, Russell gradually understood the whole story of various events in the Black Dew Forest. At the same time, he also gained some new understanding of this seemingly peaceful beast-controlling world.
In general, alliance officials believe that it is an organization called the "Fire Stealing Group" that is trying to lure the ferocious beasts to attack the city, and also wants to sabotage the capture operation and cause disaster.
Originally, it was not surprising that there were some groups in the real world who were afraid of chaos and wanted to destroy the existing order for benefits. However, as the reading progressed, Russell's surprise accumulated little by little.
The predecessor of the Fire Stealing Group was not a small cult organization or a profit-seeking private force. It was once an extremely large organization in the ancient beast-controlling civilization, and was the "Holy Temple of Hope" enshrined as the official religion of several kingdoms.
In that era when human beings were still very weak and struggled to survive at the hands of many extraordinary creatures, Hope Divine Court took the lead in studying the special features of human souls, and cultivated the first batch of first-generation beast masters who could freely use the beast control space, providing human beings with Brings hope of rise.
For a long time, Hope Divine Court has been the most authoritative organization in the world of beast control, and can even be called the ancient beast control alliance.
However, as history progressed, serious differences arose in the development concepts within Hope Divine Court.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Divine Court, everyone indeed believed in the principle of supremacy of power. After all, people had just stood up from the shadow of wild beasts at that time, so they were eager to gain power and basically had no idea of harmonious symbiosis, but wanted to achieve the ultimate. The enslavement and use of pet animals.
However, as pet beasts gradually integrate into all aspects of society, many people have begun to establish bonds and develop feelings for pet beasts. Many beast control scholars have discovered that under the premise of mutual trust and dependence, the strength of pet beasts will also grow. It will be smoother.
Against this background, the iron-blooded beast-control policy of the Divine Court of Hope began to be questioned, and the Peace Faction led by the second archbishop split within the Divine Court, which was the predecessor of the Beast Control Alliance.
The later story was a bit cliché. A war broke out between the Peace Faction and the Iron-Blooded Faction. In the end, the Peace Faction won and transformed the Divine Court that enslaved the beasts into the Beast Taming Alliance that now emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of beast masters and pet beasts.
The expelled Iron-Blooded Faction went into hiding. They called themselves pioneers who stole the fire of hope but were not understood. They secretly established the "Fire Stealing Group", and from time to time they would cause trouble behind the Beast Control Alliance.
Perhaps because they have been hiding in the dark for many years, the behavior of the Fire Thieves has begun to become extreme. In order to make people who are not our race change their minds, the concept of treating pet beasts as slaves and tools has become mainstream again, and they have even developed Disasters such as natural disasters and animal tides should be used to awaken people's outrageous ideas.
