Chapter 203 - Silver-Level Attributes of the Tidal Treasure Snail
"Holy c.r.a.p! Snow, my girl, you"re really so powerful!"
In the depths of the Bujin Mountain, Zhuo Bufan allowed the Nine-headed Spotted Dragon Pig to take flight and whiz him quickly. On the other hand, he was shouting as he c.a.r.e.s.sed the belly of the clean little white pig in his arms.
And behind him, on the top of one of the mountain peaks.
There was a large terrifying beast with three heads that had just been led away by another gold-level beast.
One of its heads was a tiger head.
Another of its heads was a deer head.
And the third head was that of a sheep. Seeing how it has just lost a few tens" worths of Red Luan feathers, the three-headed beast raised all three heads and let out an angry roar.
In Zhuo Bufan"s arms, the clean little white pig he held in his arms wore a tired look on its face. It was grunting away, not paying any attention to him at all.
"Milky, quickly refresh Snow with energy."
This Flying little Milk Pig flapped its wings, sprinkled streaks of white light that fell upon Zhuo Bufan"s arms, and onto the little pig that was clean and pure like jade.
Allowing it to quickly recover the psychic power that was severely depleted from it.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Bufan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Along his path of cultivation to Silver level, he had awakened a total of two talents within him himself.
One was the talent of Pig Affinity.
The other talent was Pig Metamorphosis.
Pig Affinity allowed him to contract other pig-type beasts that would have the chance of advancing levels without experiencing any drop in star level. At the same time, under his constant company, his beast could also have the chance of increasing its star level during the growth period.
When they were someplace not too far away from him, his pig-type beasts could even experience an increase in power when using various skills.
Pig Metamorphosis, no matter what kind of beast he contracted after the contract was brought to fruition, the beasts would undergo metamorphosis.
And in the midst of metamorphosing, the power and might, or even to the extent of the quality of their skills, would have the chance of becoming stronger.
It can be said that these two talents were not very helpful to him in terms of combat and battle.
But, on the other hand, it gifted him with unlimited possibilities.
And made him the King of Pigs of his generation.
...
In the meantime.
Ye Xuan felt the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail tremble and immediately hung his consciousness down.
Immediately, he could see that after all these days" worth of efforts, amidst the trembles and vibrations, the upper and lower parts of the Tidal Treasure Snail had finally swallowed the entire Silver-level Solar and Lunar Elixir Flame Bead into his body.
There was an explosive boost in the aura it exuded, all within the blink of an eye.
The entire World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail underwent an explosive outburst along with that of its aura.
It was all just within a matter of a split moment, the size of the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail...
Had become similar to the size of the Big Dream Sleeping Rock in the World of Dreams.
"You little fellow has finally broken through to silver level as well."
Seeing the chance in the Tidal Treasure Snail, Ye Xuan"s face instantly registered his delight.
Following the advancement of the Tidal Treasure Snail, he finally had another silver-level combat power in his hands.
And.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan made a move in his mind.
He took out the Sky Cutting Aura of the Sun and the Moon that he had obtained previously when he was training in the Translucent Secret Realm.
Tossed it into the World of Nothingness of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
"Edit!"
Then, without even waiting for a second longer…
He immediately opened the Beast Editor and selected the option to edit the Tidal Treasure Snail that had just advanced to Silver level.
Buzz!
In an instant, after a strange fluctuation swept by, in the World of Nothingness, the Sky Cutting Aura of the Sun and the Moon that Ye Xuan had just tossed out, turned into a stream of light and rushed into the body of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
And the aura exuded by the Tidal Treasure Snail underwent another round of explosive growth.
Then, from the intermediate silver level, it crossed over again.
It was all within a sudden moment that it had caught up with Lil Wan in terms of the level of cultivation.
And reached the advanced silver level.
"Advanced silver level, is it?"
Sensing this scene, Ye Xuan"s face instantly showed his delight.
In this case, his combat power would undoubtedly increase by another notch.
Thinking about this, he made a move in his mind and opened the Beast Editor to identify and verify the attributes of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
[Tidal Treasure Snail: (s.p.a.ce element/Mystery element): Five stars
Ability 1, 2, 3: Lv2 (Tidal spiral, Tidal vortex, Real-time map)
Ability 4, 5, 6: Lv3 (Treasure hunting, Treasure stas.h.i.+ng, Treasure Devouring)
Ability 7: Lv2 Treasure Snail Image
Ability 8: Lv1 Sky Cutting Blade
The two spiral edges of the Tidal Treasure Snail, upon being subjected to the grinding effect of s.p.a.ce Energy, had become incomparably sharp. If it were to reach Gold level, a mere touch of it could even slightly cut through s.p.a.ce.
Ability 9: Lv1 s.p.a.ce reversal.
After casting a Treasure Snail Image, the Tidal Treasure Snail could cause that image to be self-detonated.
After self-detonation, everything in the area around the Treasure Snail Image would be rapidly transferred to right before the physical body of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
Given that area where the Treasure Snail Image self-detonated did not exceed a range of hundred meters away from the Tidal Treasure Snail]
"This ability…"
Ye Xuan"s eyes lit up slightly when he saw that the Tidal Treasure Snail had gained two brand new abilities after this round of level advancement and star ascension.
Especially the second ability of the Tidal Treasure Snail.
This ability was somewhat similar to Obscurus" Position Exchanging Technique.
But the price he had paid was even greater.
Nevertheless, by comparison, this did not require much preparation time.
"This time, it"s really something I can try!"
Seeing the brand-new abilities acquired after the Tidal Treasure Snail was set in action, Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
Then he hesitated no more.
Right away, he got Lil Wan to take the lead, and they quickly flew straight to the location where he had previously found that Magma Fiery Dragon.
Back then, Ye Xuan really did not want to provoke that Magma Fiery Dragon.
Because all beasts, or ever monsters, once they reached Gold level…
Compared to before, it would be a watershed moment in their lifetime.
Not to mention a gold-level four-star Magma Fiery dragon.
In this case, just one accident could lead to the death of one of his other beasts.
Although his beasts could still be reborn in its beast lair after death.
This kind of rebirth would still require a period as long as a full month"s worth of time nonetheless.
That delay in time would be too much.
The thing was, at this time, with such a situation where the Tidal Treasure Snail"s treasure hunting ability was of little use.
It was really too difficult for him to surpa.s.s the two ranked above him, Ren Xue and Zhuo Bufan.
Especially Zhuo Bufan.
In slightly less than the stipulated deadline of two days, he had obtained a good 151 Red Luan feathers. This really made it impossible for Ye Xuan not to want to fight with all his might.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
With a wave of her G.o.ddess"s Truncheon, Lil Wan took Ye Xuan with her and flew through Bujin Mountain at a breakneck speed.
While in flight, Ye Xuan took a look at the mini real-time map of the Tidal Treasure Snail after its advancement.
As a result, he made an unexpected discovery.
Now, he was already able to reveal and show everything, to the slightest detail, within a 6-kilometer radius from him through the mini real-time map.
Six kilometers… Twelve miles" worth of land?
No kidding!
Ye Xuan did some mental calculations and instantly felt invincible once again.
This ability to know his enemies" motives and intentions in advance really made him feel that he"s heeding the advice and guidance of the Elder of Arrays back then to contract the Tidal Treasure Snail was truly a most cost-effective bargain.
"Ren Xue?"
And just as Ye Xuan was thinking about this, he expanded the range of area that he was scrutinized by a good three times bigger on the mini real-time map and unexpectedly found that Ren Xue was riding a Fiery Spiritual Sparrow while quickly flying straight in a certain direction.
While in flight, there was no longer any traces of a smile on her face.
What was in their left place were her tightly pursed lips.
Obviously, since Zhuo Bufan appeared out of nowhere and obtained so many Red Luan feathers in one fell swoop, it was understandable why this feisty and compet.i.tive senior of his would find cause for anxiety.
Previously, Ren Xue still had Ye Xuan as her target.
But now, her target had apparently been changed to Zhuo Bufan.
"Everyone"s doing their best, yeah."
Ye Xuan raised his brows then continued to hurry along.
He was also very interested in knowing what Ren Xue would do when she found out that Zhuo Bufan actually obtained that 151 Red Luan feathers all in one go.
"What"s going on? Quite a long time has pa.s.sed, but why are the numbers of Red Luan feathers that Ren Que and Ye Xuan obtained not moving? Could it be that the two of them, as Zhuo Bufan did before, we"re trying to obtain a large number of Red Luan feathers at one go?"
In the meantime, amidst the Bujin Mountain.
Just as Ye Xuan had picked up the pace and hurrying along the way, many Beast Tamers, upon seeing that the numbers of Red Luan feathers that both Ren Xue and Ye Xuan obtained were not moving, all felt a jolt of anxiety in their hearts.
Close to two days, they wandered around the Bujin Mountain, and they also found a gathering point where large numbers of Red Luan feathers could be found.
But when they went over for a closer look, they found that the Red Luan feathers were actually all guarded by a Gold-level beast. So, without further ado, they all retreated, one after the other.
No one dared to toy with the idea of obtaining these feathers for themselves anymore.
That was a gold-level monster.
Unless they had lost their senses otherwise, they would not entertain the thought of seizing the Red Luan feathers for themselves, not when a monster of this level guarded the feathers.
So, when Zhuo Bufan actually obtained so many Red Luan feathers in one go, they were all instantly enlightened.
And knew that Zhuo Bufan had landed a gold-level beast lair for himself.
They were all curious; they were all shocked.
They did not know how Zhuo Bufan had gotten himself those feathers.
And at this time, the number of Red Luan feathers of the two who were right behind him in the ranks, Ren Xue and Ye Xuan, did not move at all.
This roused some speculations in their hearts all at once.
"Really two lunatics!"
Above a firewood forest, Zuo Qingtian was riding his Sky Swimming Flying Serpent King as he swept past in a hurry.
Looking at the numbers of Red Luan feathers under Ren Xue and Ye Xuan"s possessions that had not moved for a long time, he hesitated over and over again. But eventually did not choose to make a rash move.
Instead, he chose to continue with what he had been doing all this time.
One by one, he would collect the Red Luan feathers.
And just by keeping his situation status quo, in less than an hour, the number of Red Luan feathers he obtained had surpa.s.sed that of Ren Xue.
He was ranked second place.
"That Magma Fiery Dragon should still be here, right?"
After another half an hour, with Lil Wan"s lead, Ye Xuan finally arrived near the magma lake he had found earlier.
"Koo!"
In the midst of a valley filled with miasma, a Three-Eyed Heavenly Fire Toad that was as big as a house opened its mouth and stuck out a black-red tongue. Then, very viciously, it fired a shot.
Within the blink of an eye, its shot traversed hundreds of meters in the sky.
With a sounding "Poof," the shot pierced its way into the body of the Fiery Spiritual Sparrow that Ren Xue was riding on.
The Fiery Spiritual Sparrow, which spread its wings to prepare to escape, let out a miserable cry. Its body shook several times in the void s.p.a.ce before it totteringly flew away from this place.
"Ling!"
After a few minutes, the Fiery Spiritual Sparrow that Ren Xue was manipulating landed on top of a mountain peak. Seeing the big hole that resulted from the shot that pierced through its body and the black-red blood flowing out from it, Ren Xue"s face immediately expressed her worry and anxiety.
But upon seeing Ren Xue"s look of anxiety, the Fiery Spiritual Sparrow merely opened its mouth and spat out dozens of Red Luan feathers in front of her.
"Did Ren Xue succeed as well?"
At the same time, in some districts, that was very far away from Ren Xue.
Ye Xuan looked at the magma lake in front of him from afar and then took a look at the current ranking. He felt a slight jolt in his heart.
"In the first place, Zhuo Bufan, 155 Red Luan feathers."
"In the second place, Ren Xue, 143 Red Luan feathers."
"In third place, Zuo Qingtian, 93 Red Luan feathers."
"In fourth place, Song Lingyue, 89 Red Luan feathers."
"In fifth place, Ye Xuan, 87 Red Luan feathers."
It was undeniable from this ranking that not too long ago, Ren Xue had also found herself a beast lair of a gold-level monster.
And she had also succeeded.
But even so, Ren Xue still had not managed to catch up with Zhuo Bufan.
This made Ye Xuan itch with the d.e.s.i.r.e to know who exactly this Zhuo Bufan was.
"Now, it"s our turn!"
"Just let me see exactly how strong a gold-level monster can be!"
With this in mind, Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
He cast his gaze far away, on that Magma Fiery Dragon in the faraway magma lake that was slowly poking its head out of the surface.
And at this time, that Magma Fiery Dragon seemed to have also noticed him.
Lifting its head, it looked at him.
