Chapter 40: Congratulations on getting the fourth beast—Pokemon!
After Lu Ming returned to the camp, he tidied up a bit and then started practicing.
Now he not only had to meditate and cultivate his life force, but he also had to take time to practice the Heavenly Official Seal. He had no time to rest at all.
Not long after, Lu Ming fell into deep cultivation.
Of course, for his own safety, Lu Ming still released the black stone beast and the vampire poisonous bat. With their protection, Lu Ming could practice with peace of mind.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was already the second half of the night.
There was silence in the tent. Lu Ming sat cross-legged to practice. At this moment, a black shadow was slowly approaching him.
The black shadow moved silently, and even the black stone beast guarding nearby did not notice.
The bright moonlight shone through the gap in the tent, just shining on the black shadow.
The black shadow looked quite large, but it was very thin.
If Lu Ming opened his eyes at this moment, he would definitely recognize the black shadow, but unfortunately Lu Ming is now in deep cultivation.
The black shadow slowly approached until it was behind Lu Ming.
The next moment, the black shadow opened its body and wrapped Lu Ming.
Lu Ming, who was practicing, was suddenly awakened. He opened his eyes, but found it was pitch black in front of him.
After a careful sense, Lu Ming felt that his upper body was wrapped by something, and this thing was trying to devour him and wanted to wrap him up completely.
He did not dare to hesitate and immediately called upon his life beasts, even summoning the jumping monkey that had not yet recovered from its injuries.
The jumping monkey, whose injuries had not yet healed, looked at Lu Ming, whose lower body was only exposed, and directly grabbed Lu Ming's legs and pulled him out.
The black shadow that wanted to swallow Lu Ming had no intention of letting go and locked Lu Ming tightly. No matter how hard the jumping monkey tried, he could not pull Lu Ming out.
At this moment, a vampire bat rushed in like a flash of lightning, and bit the enemy who was devouring Lu Ming.
The black shadow twitched after being bitten by the vampire bat, and the power that locked Lu Ming began to weaken.
Not long after, Lu Ming was pulled out by the jumping monkey.
After Lu Ming escaped from the trap, he immediately held the iron bar in his hand and was on guard.
But when he saw the attacker clearly, he was stunned.
"Is this a burden?"
The attacker on the ground was actually the bag that Lu Ming used to carry gold coins.
"This bundle is actually alive. Is it also a monster?"
Just as Lu Ming was shocked, the bag stopped twitching.
It was poisoned!
Immediately afterwards, countless gold coins appeared out of thin air, just like the gold coins that dropped when killing monsters in the game.
"crash"
The sound of gold coins brought Lu Ming back to his senses. In the blink of an eye, a pile of gold coins appeared in front of him!
These gold coins are far more than 10!
A rough estimate shows that there are at least 700,000 or 800,000 gold coins in this pile.
But Lu Ming's attention at this time was not on the pile of gold coins, but on the body of the bundle.
There was a ball of light suspended above it.
"Beast Soul"
Smoker once said that there is no good or bad beast soul. As long as you are lucky, even a waste can be cultivated into a powerful beast.
But Lu Ming was a little hesitant about the beast soul in front of him.
Although the opponent's attack was very sudden, as long as there is a third party, this burden can easily die, and it is completely a fragile existence.
"But this monster is very unique, maybe it has some special abilities."
After a little thought, Lu Ming decided to absorb the beast soul into a life beast.
The gray book of fate absorbed the beast soul the moment it touched it, and Lu Ming also knew the name of this bundle.
Pokemon!
Pokémon carries a two cubic meter space that can be used for storage. It has average lethality and low combat effectiveness.
Although judging from the information he got, this Pokémon was almost a waste, Lu Ming was very happy.
Because this Pokémon carries a two cubic meter space with it, it is equivalent to Lu Ming having a space ring that can store a lot of things.
Two cubic meters of space is not large now, but what about after the Pokémon is upgraded in the future?
When he thought of this, Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"Luckily I didn't give up on this Pokémon just now!"
"And this Pokémon seems to be very intelligent, and it even knows how to use gold coins as bait."
In fact, Lu Ming got a great bargain. The special monster Pokémon is quite rare, and people call it strange monster.
Each Pokémon has special abilities. Some may be very powerful, while others may have special abilities like this Pokémon.
Any fortune teller will not let go of a strange monster if he encounters one. Once he gets the monster's soul as his fortune teller's beast, he will make a fortune.
"Now that all four life beasts have been collected, the next step is to work hard to improve the level of life force!"
Possessing the innate talent of perfect life force, Lu Ming's cultivation speed is extremely fast. It has only been three days since he was promoted to the scholar level, but now he is already a level 12 gray-sealed scholar.
This is just the result of practicing at night. If he practices non-stop for 24 hours a day, the speed will be even more terrifying.
Of course Lu Ming did not do so. He knew very well that the combat power of a fortune teller who only knew how to practice would not become much stronger as his level increased.
Lu Ming still insisted on going out to hunt monsters during the day and practicing at night.
By hunting monsters, he can cultivate the combat coordination of the four beasts, and he can also collect souls to refine soul crystals, allowing the beasts to quickly increase their levels.
The only difference from before is that Lu Ming now doesn’t have to rush back to the camp every day.
With Pokémon, he packed everything he needed for camping into the Pokémon's space.
seven days later
"Roar"
An 18th-level armored grizzly bear roared angrily at Lu Ming. Its powerful strength and iron-like defense made it the overlord of the surrounding three-kilometer radius.
But now this overlord could only roar at Lu Ming and did not dare to actually attack.
Because in front of Lu Ming stood three monsters: the jumping monkey, the black stone beast, and the vampire poisonous bat.
After a few days of feeding with soul crystals, the Jumping Monkey has become a level 15 life beast, the Black Stone Beast is level 14, the Vampire Bat is level 11, and the Pokémon is level 7.
This is the powerful effect of the soul crystal. If Lu Ming simply used life force to feed these four life beasts, even if he had amazing talent, not a single life beast would exceed level 10.
And after seven days of training, Lu Ming is now a level 15 gray-sealed scholar.
Although the Iron-Armored Grizzly Bear's level is higher than the three Fate Beasts, its sixth sense as a demon beast makes it feel great danger.
The guys in front of it are enough to bring fatal danger to it!
The armored grizzly bear didn't dare to attack, but Lu Ming didn't want to let it go.
"kill!"
Following his order, his three beasts immediately launched an attack.
The first to attack must be the fastest vampire bat, which flies by like a flash of lightning.
In an instant, it appeared at the back of the armored grizzly bear's neck, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit it.
Unfortunately, this time its attack encountered a tough opponent.
