Chapter 253: The monster is subdued and the skills are perfected

Without much hesitation, Xiao Jie made his choice after pondering for a moment at the pet evolution interface.

First of all, the monster bloodline must be selected. This thing is a rare evolution option, unique to monster cubs. It would be a big loss if you don’t choose it.

I don't know any spells, so it would be nice to have my baby know some. Rounding it off, it's like having a sorcerer.

The key lies in the second evolution option.

Adult tigers and team pets, each has its own strengths.

The adult tiger is pretty standard, it simply improves the combat effectiveness, increases the damage by 30%, and doubles the size - as long as you click this, Daju will immediately transform from a cute little tiger into a ferocious beast that can fight the enemy head-on.

It also comes with several powerful combat skills, otherwise the skills are not complete and you can't do any damage at all.

Team pets are actually very good as team auxiliary units. They can provide BUFF to the entire team and have their own self-protection capabilities.

But in the final analysis, there won't be many opportunities to fight in a group, and if you act alone, this team pet is almost useless.
10% attack is not bad, but it only lasts for 30 seconds.

And the skill of Coward is even more ridiculous. Since I have a baby with me, of course I hope that the baby can resist damage and attract hatred. What the hell is the point of you asking me to fight to the death?

The most fatal point is that the team's cute pets and the evolution of monsters are completely incompatible. The several magic skills given by the evolution of monsters can only be used in battle. Giving them to a cute pet is completely useless and is of no use at all.

The same skill will have completely different effects when used on an adult tiger and a team pet.

Considering the adventure to Canglin Province next, Xiao Jie decisively chose the adult tiger.

Adult tiger!

Monster bloodline!
After two evolution points were hit, a red light suddenly burst out from the big orange beast's body. First, its body grew like a balloon, its muscles expanded and squirmed, its bones grew, and the color of its fur quickly darkened. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a majestic adult tiger. Moreover, unlike ordinary tigers, its body was surrounded by blood and energy, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary beast.

Let’s look at Daju’s attribute panel again.

[Big Orange Yin Yue Sui Feng’s pet] Level 10, HP 380.

Experience value: 113/26400.

Loyalty: 82/100. Dependable.

Happiness: 100/100. Very happy.

Food type: Meat.

Pet Skills——

Witchcraft (beast trait): Can use the exclusive witchcraft of the tiger monster clan.

Adult tiger (beast traits): Strength +10, Constitution +10, Physical Damage +30%.

Combat skills: biting, throat locking, charge, fatal pounce, tiger claw attack, tiger roar.

Magic: Tiger Roar, Tiger Claw, Tiger Claw, Crouching Tiger Stone Form]

Not bad, not bad. Although it is only level 10, its combat effectiveness has already taken shape and it has huge potential.

While Xiao Jie was delighted, he was also on guard at the same time. He did not have [Beast Knowledge: Monsters], so theoretically he could not tame monsters. But now it was like he had encountered a bug and tamed a monster cub. Now that the cub had evolved into a monster, what would happen?

At this moment, the big orange man also looked at Xiao Jie suddenly.

The originally cute little tiger has now become an adult demon tiger. Its aura has lost its past cuteness and instead has a hint of wildness and unruliness.

"Big Orange?" Xiao Jie called out tentatively.

"Hmph, don't call me Daju, I'm the son of Kuilishanjun, please call me Hu Batian!"

[System prompt: The loyalty of your pet Daju has decreased and is now 57 (suspicious).

Damn, the little brat becomes disobedient now that he’s grown wings.

It turns out that monsters have no conscience. It’s a pity that I fed you so much secret dog food.

"Hu Batian? I have to say, a beast is a beast. Your taste in naming is really unsophisticated."

"Humph, let me go immediately, otherwise, I will let you see how powerful the tiger demon is! Don't think that I won't bite you just because you are the master."

Xiao Jie immediately sneered and said, "Okay, if you can beat me, I'll let you go, but if you can't beat me, kneel down for me!"

"Ouch—you said that!"

The name on the big orange head suddenly turned red, and it pounced over with a roar.

Multiple people swooping!

Secret - disillusionment!
As the time field opened, Daju leaped into the air and then stopped in mid-air.

Cut it off!

Xiao Jie swung his sword and his target was the two front paws of the big orange beast.

After the chop, he rolled behind Daju.

Cut it off!

This time it was its two hind paws, because the big orange cat was in a leaping posture, with its front paws extended and its hind paws kicked backwards, which gave Xiao Jie a perfect position to break his limbs.

As soon as the secret time was over, Daju fell directly from the air to the ground, with all his limbs broken. He struggled in vain on the ground, "You-you-you!" His voice was full of fear and disbelief.

This is exactly the effect Xiao Jie wanted. Although he had never raised a tiger, he had raised a dog. It is useless to just reason with a wild beast, and it is also useless to just be nice to it. You must completely subdue it with strength. At least this is how Xiao Jie understood it.

The more unruly a rebel is, the more severely he must be crushed so that he dares not betray you a second time.

"What are you talking about? You actually dare to show off your power to your master. Are you getting too arrogant? Since you don't want to obey, I'll just kill you." Xiao Jie said, and raised the knife directly towards Daju's head.

"No, no, no, master, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again!" The big orange cat screamed and begged for mercy.

The name above his head instantly turned green.

But this is not enough.

"How do I know if you will betray me again in the future? Rather than leaving a hidden danger, I'd better chop you off..."

"Woo woo woo, Master, please don't do that. I swear by blood that I will never betray you in this life. Otherwise, I will die without a burial place and be eaten by wild dogs after death."

[System prompt: Your pet's loyalty has increased and is now 100 (absolute obedience).]

"Hmph, that's better. Eat it and get up quickly." Xiao Jie threw a secret dog food over and watched the big orange cat eat the dog food. Its health was restored, and after the limb breaking time was over, its four legs grew back.

[System prompt: Your 'enlightenment' state has been triggered, and you have gained an 'epiphany'! ]

Xiao Jie clicked on the icon of enlightenment.

[System prompt: In your interactions with monsters, you gradually understand their habits and suddenly realize how to better tame them. This is the skill you gained: Beast Knowledge: Monster Chapter.]

Xiao Jie clicked on the skill and looked at it.
[Beast Knowledge: Monsters (Knowledge Skills)
Passive effect: Allows you to tame monsters as pets, and your Beast Identification skill can be used on monsters.

Skill introduction: Bullying the weak, bloodthirsty and tyrannical, either being a king or a meat eater, this is the way of survival for monsters. Only by suppressing them with powerful force can the monsters be intimidated and obey orders. 】

Not bad, not bad, I got some beast knowledge for free.

Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his complicated operation was worth it.

He thought to himself that according to this routine, the knowledge of the other kinds of wild beasts should also be able to be realized on their own. All he had to do was tame a fairy beast cub/ghost beast cub/divine beast cub... and then evolve it, and then "persuade it with emotion" and "persuade it with reason." Of course, the art of animal language was also a necessary condition, otherwise it might not be that simple.

He brought Daju all the way back to Wanshou Villa. As soon as they entered the villa, the man and the tiger immediately attracted a lot of surprised looks.

"Fuck, is it a monster?"

"Is this true? A level 10 monster? So cool."

"Brother, where did you catch this monster? Can you tell me? I'll pay you for the information."

Xiao Jie ignored those people and went to find the housekeeper on his own.

"I've made up my mind. I want to redeem the reward [Beast Knowledge: Fairy Beasts]."

The housekeeper glanced at the big orange behind Xiao Jie, with a look of surprise on his face, but still nodded and said: "Since you have chosen this, I will leave it to you."

As he said this, he handed a book to Xiao Jie.

[Beast Knowledge: Fairy Beasts (Knowledge Book)
Learning requirements: Beast Knowledge, Perception 12.

Book introduction: A volume of the Advanced Beast Knowledge, written by Wanshou Villa, which allows you to learn more about special beasts. 】

Xiao Jie learned it decisively. A white light flashed, and a few more skills appeared in the skill bar.

After the task was completed, Xiao Jie left immediately.

There is still a lot to do next.

--------

After returning to Xiaofeng City, Xiao Jie first ran to the post station and took a walk around.

Unfortunately, there was no letter announcing the career mission.

Xiao Jie stood in front of the post station and thought to himself that this was really strange. It had been so long since he changed his job to an ancient Qi-refining master, and the professional tasks should have been distributed long ago.

Could it be because the profession of the ancient Qi Refiners was rather special?

According to the plot, each profession has its tasks assigned by the guild it belongs to. For example, the tasks for the animal trainer are assigned by the Villa of All Beasts.

Assassin's missions are usually assigned by the Ender Hall.

The swordsman's mission is to be the instructor of the sword school or martial arts gym in the provincial capital.

In theory, the missions of the ancient Qi Refiners should be assigned by the Qi Refiners organization. The problem is that the ancient Qi Refiners are almost extinct, and the only two who are still alive are him and the Red Dust Taoist. Does that mean that the Red Dust Taoist is the one who should assign the missions?

I didn't receive any missions. Was it because all the ancient Qi-refining masters were dead? Or was it because there was no post station in Konglao Mountain? No one was delivering the letter?

But since it's a game, gameplay is generally more important than plot. It's impossible not to have professional tasks, right?
Maybe I'll have to check back a few days later.

Xiao Jie left the post station and went straight to the auction house.

Arriving at the auction house, he looked at the materials he had consigned. After two days, most of them had been sold. Together with the savings in his bag, Xiao Jie had successfully saved up 100 taels of silver. It was time to buy a high-level physical skill book.

He immediately started searching in the auction house.

Rolling gourd: 2 taels.

Somersault: 5 taels.

Back handspring with empty hands: 6 taels.

Assassin's Step: 10 taels... Xiao Jie pulled down decisively. These basic body skills were okay when fighting low-level monsters, but they were useless when encountering a BOSS with a wide attack range, or a spell with a range attack.

Xiao Jie directly pulled up the lowest level of advanced body skills. The cheapest of these skills were only a few dozen taels each. As a skill for instant life-saving in battle, the price of advanced body skills was much higher than that of general combat skills, and was not much different even when compared with some advanced martial arts.

Illusionary Sky Bewitching Step: 45 taels.

Seven Star Step: 50 taels.

Divine Walking on the Wind Style: 60 taels.

Nine Changes of Yunxiao: 120 taels.

Xiao Jie, a brother, checked the effects of these exercises.

Hey, this is good.

【Shadow Step (Animal Movement)
Use: Move at a very fast speed up to 10.4 meters (agility x 2). If your agility is over 50, an afterimage will be generated during the move. Consumes 40 points of physical strength and 20 points of internal strength.

Learning requirements: Agility 40, Comprehension 20, and proficiency in internal skills.

Skill introduction: The Qinggong acrobatics used by the assassin Duan Wuya of Zhaixing Tower are said to be inherited from an ancient assassin sect. After Duan Wuya retired from the martial arts world, some fragments of his acrobatics were occasionally circulated in the martial arts world. Those with high comprehension may be able to learn something from them. 】

The good thing about this skill is that its effect is similar to Phantom, both of which are simple and fast movements with an afterimage effect. If used together, it can further increase the confusion.

The price is quite acceptable, 75 taels of silver - it's yours.

Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and took the photo.

After I learned it, I went to the martial arts training ground of the martial arts gym and used it a few times. I felt it was very smooth. Although it is not as magical as Mirage, as a slightly lower-level substitute, using it in the gaps between Mirage can basically ensure the seamless connection of displacement skills.

Just as I was getting familiar with the operation, a private message appeared in the chat bar.

Qianlong Wuyong: Brother Suifeng, I have prepared the things you want. Shall I bring them to you now?

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Let’s go to the martial arts arena.

Qianlongwuyong: Okay, wait for me for a moment.

Soon Qianlong Wuyong arrived, clicked on trade, and put a set of equipment into the trading column.

Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that such a thing really existed. He quickly clicked the transaction button and took it.

What Qianlong Wuyong traded to him was a set of equipment.

Savage Warrior's Bone Crusher Helmet: Strength +3.
Savage Warrior's Tiger Skin Armor: Strength +5.
Savage Warrior's Bristle Leggings: Strength +3.
Savage Warrior's Bearskin Wristguards: Strength +2.
This set of equipment increases the strength value by 13 points, and the attribute of the set is that the strength attribute is increased by 10%. After wearing it, you can just stack the strength to above 40.

It was Xiao Jie who applied specifically in order to learn the Wolf King's Double-Edge Kill.

When Xiao Jie obtained the skill book, he thought of using equipment to make up the attributes, but if he wanted to collect enough strength equipment on his own, the price would be too expensive.

And it’s not enough just to learn a skill.

However, Xiao Jie immediately thought that he must not be the only one facing this problem. If it was a large guild, they might specially prepare a set of attributes-enhancing sets to help guild members learn skills. So he asked Qianlong Wuyong about it, and found out that there really was one.

In this way, he can learn the Wolf King's Double Blade Kill skill.

Learning requirements: Dual-weapon specialization, Agility 40, Strength 40.

Agility is enough, and strength is now enough. Double-click the mouse on the wolfskin scroll, and a white light flashes.

System prompt: You have learned the combat skill [Wolf King Double Blade Kill].

nice!
Xiao Jie returned the equipment to Qianlong Wuyong and hurriedly checked his skills.

[Wolf King Double Blade Kill (Combat Skill)

The first stage: Wolf King Soaring Style. Leap into the air and rush to a height of up to 13 meters (agility x 0.25). Consumes 50 points of stamina.

Second stage: Wolf King Slash. Launch a fierce double-weapon slash from the air to the target. Deal 200% weapon damage (×2) to the target and gain speed damage bonus. The faster you fall, the higher the damage. Consume 50 points of stamina.

Skill introduction: This move was created by the wolf king Chi Meijian. It is a powerful killing move launched from the air with the help of the powerful jumping ability. 】

Not bad! As expected, it is a skill dropped by the Wolf King. Not only does it deal 400% weapon damage (two weapons combined), it also increases speed damage. As long as the agility is high enough and the speed is fast enough, the damage can be increased by at least 20%-50. It is not impossible to deal 500%-600% weapon damage. Although it is not an ultimate skill, the power is not much different.

Moreover, this skill is a pure combat skill and does not consume internal energy. This is quite powerful. You must know that internal energy is already in short supply in long-term combat, so this way there are fewer constraints.

This attack method is a bit like that. If it is from the sky to the ground, then isn't it a fixed-point attack? At a distance of 13 meters, if you don't calculate the lead time well, it's easy to miss.

But with my own operation, it’s not a big problem.

The baby has evolved, his body movements have been improved, and he has learned combat skills.

Xiao Jie was in a very good mood for a while. His strength had improved to a certain extent. This time when he went to Canglin Province, he felt much more confident.

"Thank you, Brother Qianlong. By the way, Brother Qianlong, I may be away for a while tomorrow, so I want to tell you."

Qianlong Wuyong said, "You want to leave? You should tell Xiaobailong about this. I won't be the leader for the time being."

Huh? Xiao Jie was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"

"The president recently gave me a task to escort a newcomer to Canglin Province to do a job transfer task."

"Newcomer? The younger brother of the flat-headed brother?"

Xiao Jie immediately thought of the wolf demon bone that Flathead Brother had photographed.

This thing is the key item to trigger the magic profession.

"That's right." Qianlong Wuyong sighed, "His brother is already level 4. For a magic profession, the best growth path is to switch to the magic profession at level 10, advance at level 20, and complete at level 30. Our guild is in great need of high-level magic professions, so the president specially arranged for me to help train him. If there is someone to lead him, we can stack up the key attributes in the early stage, which is convenient for development."

Xiao Jie smiled and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? I'm going to Canglin Province too. How about we go together?"

Qianlong Wuyong was also quite surprised after hearing this, and immediately agreed to let him lead the newcomers to complete the mission. To be honest, he was still a little worried, after all, newcomers were too easy to die.

Originally, he was considering selecting a few core members from the team to protect the newcomers.

Now that we have an expert like Xiao Jie to help take care of things, it couldn’t be better.

"Then it's settled."
