Pet Simulator Novel - Chapter 23

The few lines of information made Wang Ye very confused.

In the simulation, he and Xiao Jiu had chosen to stay in Anping County and had been investigating the information about the dark fog.

But obviously, with their abilities and statuses, it was impossible for them to find anything.

But in the fourth month which was also their last…

“At the bottom of the spiritual energy stones in the spatial sphere. Is it referring to those boxes of spiritual energy stones?”

After choosing the simulation reward, Wang Ye cultivated first, then took out the five boxes of spiritual energy stones.

He hadn’t used much of the five boxes yet.

Wang Ye rummaged through the boxes one by one until he noticed a hidden compartment at the bottom of the fifth box.

If he wasn’t paying attention, it wouldn’t have been easy to find it. He twisted it slightly and the hidden compartment opened up, revealing an ancient leather scroll.

“This thing…” Wang Ye frowned slightly, “Did Ming Kai put it in there? I remember when I found them in the secret realm, those beastmasters who were pursuing Ming Kai seemed to be talking about some kind of information. Could it be this?”

Back when he had saved Ming Kai and Ming Zhu, Wang Ye didn’t want to get involved too much, so he had hidden his identity and left after getting some benefits.

He didn’t ask about the reason they were being pursued.

If the pursuit was really for this thing, then this thing was really a hot potato, a time bomb.

“Why did Ming Kai put this thing in here and give it to me? It must be on purpose. Under normal circumstances, I simply won’t discover it in a short time. Could it be that he wants to divert the trouble?” For a moment, Wang Ye’s mind was in a mess, “Or is it for some other purpose?”

The young masters of the enterprises were indeed not easy to deal with.

No wonder the guy had taken out something as valuable as the spatial sphere and even gave him five boxes of spiritual energy stones on top of that.

“It’s also my fault for not having enough experience,” Wang Ye shook his head.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to open the stack of ancient leather scrolls to take a look.

After all, they were already in his hands.

From the material, the scrolls seemed to be very special. They weren’t paper, but some kind of ancient beast skin.

The stack looked historical but well-preserved.

On the first page, there were only a few words written on it.

[Beastmaster calendar year 660, month 2. I heard the news from the south about three provinces being swallowed by the dark fog and couldn’t sleep all night. To think Dongli Country, a large country in the world, had actually fallen to such a state now. Inside this ivory tower that had been built high above the north wind, it is indeed comfortable and I have not encountered any danger from the fog, but the south has fallen. I wonder how many of my compatriots of the same Dongli bloodline have been buried in foreign lands?]

[February 15th. The New Year has just passed. I brought Xiao Tao to the south alone and joined the newly formed Investigation Corps.]

“This is… a handwritten diary?” Wang Ye was startled.

It didn’t seem to be any important information.

Year 660, wasn’t that more than two hundred years ago?

This year was year 880 of the beastmaster calendar.

That period of time could be considered a very difficult period for Dongli Country in history because the country did not have any supreme beast totems, which allowed the dark fog to erode Dongli’s territory at an extremely fast speed.

The Investigation Corps formed then was also extremely weak. Only later did it slowly develop until now when it could be considered to have the strength to fight.

Wang Ye continued to read on, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

[July 7th. I advanced to become a master investigator, and Xiao Tao became a level 7 pet. Xiao Jin, Xiao Yin, and the others all broke through to level 6. My Investigation Corps in Xinghai Province withstood the erosion of the dark fog, though just barely.]

…

[September 19th. There are too many strange supreme-rulers. It’s as if we’ll never be able to kill them all. My companions are dying one by one. The resistance of humans seems to be only slowing down the death rate. I’m unwilling to accept defeat. In my pinch, I thought of a ridiculous idea. I will kill my way into the dark fog!]

…

“When the Investigation Corps was first formed, it was only to resist the dark fog,” Wang Ye recalled the history of the Investigation Corps, “Because the strange supreme-rulers are too strong, no one dared to enter the dark fog to investigate. So who Is this guy?”

To think this guy had dared to enter the dark fog more than 200 years ago.

He was really not afraid of death.

Or did he have a cheat?

[Beginning of October. Despite the advice from the commander, I brought three brothers who had the same thoughts as me and entered the dark fog. I knew that if I didn’t enter the dark fog to investigate, Xinghai Province would not be able to escape its fate of being swallowed by the dark fog in a few months.]

When the record reached this point, it broke off for a long time.

Wang Ye continued to flip through the scrolls.

It was not until July of the next year, which was more than half a year later, that there was a new record in the diary.

[July 7th. I survived. Perhaps no one knows what I experienced in the past half a year, but it doesn’t matter, because I have already found out the information about at least a dozen of strange supreme-rulers. Two of my brothers have died, so perhaps I’m next But I still have Xiao Tao, who protects me and allows me to record the information of these strange supreme-rulers.]

Following that was detailed information about many strange supreme-rulers.

The detailed records included the different power of strangeness of at least a dozen strange supreme-rulers, as well as their levels, stats, characteristics, and so on.

Every few months, such information was recorded, and the handwriting was becoming more and more scribbled.

[October 8th. I should be dying soon, but Xiao Tao can still hold on. It’s a pet formed from the spirit of the Qinglei Peach Wood and has quite a bit of restraint against strange supreme-rulers. She can also resist the power of the dark fog. I’m going to bring this information back with me. Strange supreme-rulers aren’t invincible, all of them have weaknesses. If beastmasters and pets can’t deal with them normally, as long as they have some special equipment, they’ll definitely be able to deal with the strange supreme-rulers.]

[October 20th. I’m feeling extremely lost! That’s because today, I discovered a high-level strange supreme-ruler that I had once killed in another area. I can’t be mistaken. That’s definitely it, the strange supreme-ruler, the mirror demon phantom! During that half a year back then, it was this fellow that had secretly devoured one of my companions, then fought with me for three months. Just when it was about to devour me too, Xiao Tao had discovered it and gave me a warning … Only then did I manage to escape and kill it! How is it still alive?]

When he saw this, Wang Ye was stunned.

He immediately flipped through to the information about the mirror demon phantom.

[Mirror Demon Phantom]: A high-level strange supreme-ruler that can devour creatures and transform into the victim’s appearance. At the same time, it will possess the victim’s abilities. It is extremely cunning, intelligent, and extremely difficult to deal with.

[October 21st. I saw wrongly. That is not the one that I had killed.]

There was a long blank after that. There was no entry.

Wang Ye had many questions at this point.

It wasn’t until three months later that there were new entries.

[January 9th. I feel that my consciousness is about done for. I have been trying to make equipment for the past three months, but it is very depressing that I have not been able to make any equipment that can deal with the strange supreme-rulers. The strange supreme-rulers have too few weaknesses. Some of them do not even have any weaknesses. The power of strangeness is also too powerful…]

[January 20th. I have found a way. I embedded a strange core into my arm, then tried to eat the corpse of a strange supreme-ruler. When the power of strangeness entered my body, I felt as if I had become a supreme-ruler, but my consciousness was also gradually losing its way. At this time, I can kill the strange supreme-rulers with my power alone. After discussing it with Xiao Jin, it also wanted to try.]

[January 22nd. Xiao Jin successfully evolved. It killed a strange supreme-ruler as if it was slaughtering a dog. I have excitedly named this method: the strange evolution. It allows humans and pets to combine with the power of strange supreme-rulers, thus allowing the pets to evolve and their talents to mutate. The Sovereign strange supreme-rulers can’t even withstand a single blow from me.]

What followed after were pieces of intermittent information.

The author of the diary recorded in detail the evolution process as well as the requirements and so on.

Then, there was a blank.

“F*ck, a brave guy!” Wang Ye could feel his scalp go numb as he read through it.

[February 9th. I buried Xiao Jin.]

[March 8th. Half of my body feels strange like I’m a devil. This method cannot work, but it seems to be able to save Dongli. However, the human heart is mostly selfish and evil. It’s impossible for a human to resist the evil power of strangeness. The pet’s power will also become stronger after evolution but will become even more uncontrollable.]

[April 8th. I asked Xiao Tao to bring them away from me and fly out of the dark fog. I can’t continue anymore. I hope this information can help Dongli. Written by Ming Tianxu, on April 8th of Year 662.]

The diary ended here.

After finishing reading the whole thing, Wang Ye couldn’t calm his heart down for a long time.

Strictly speaking, this was just an ordinary diary, but some of the information recorded in it was very valuable, especially the strange evolution.

The evolution of pets was usually along a route. There were many routes to choose from, and they had all been concluded through modern research.

Another method for pet evolution was the bloodline evolution, also known as mutation evolution, and was very rare. In this method, the pet would break through the boundaries of life and cross-species. The route was simple but extremely difficult.

There was also an evolution method of a higher level called the armed evolution.

Currently, there were only three types of pet evolution.

Wang Ye had never heard of the strange evolution.
