Pet Simulator Novel - Chapter 56

Wang Ye took a look. There were only about a hundred people participating in the assessment.

There really weren’t many spots.

Beastmasters without any potential wouldn’t even have the chance to enter.

“Beastmasters, since you’re about to enter the Yihuang Forest relic, I’d like to say a few words,” A handsome middle-aged man with a graceful bearing stood in front of the square.

He smiled and said to everyone, “I’m the head of Deiyu Dojo in Yaoguang City, Lu Daying. I know that all of you come from various counties, universities, enterprises, corps, and so on. You’re all young Beastmasters with great potential, and you’ve also learned some information about the Yihuang Forest from various sources. You may even have learned of the contents of some stages, and have done targeted training in advance. But today, I would like to remind you that the Yihuang Forest is a relic of a Myth class pet, and it has very strong rules. Every time the relic is opened, the five stages inside will change. Even the fierce beasts inside will change! Nobody, not even us, knows exactly what’s inside… Therefore, any information about the stages that was leaked to you in advance can not be taken seriously. You’ll only know everything after you enter. Finally, I hope that all of you can clear the stages and meet the soul fire of the crimson flame phoenix so that this old senior won’t have any regrets.”

…

After the middle-aged man named Lu Daying finished speaking, he waved his hand.

With that, the Beastmasters followed the tunnel to the entrance of the ruins and entered in an orderly fashion.

The second they entered, Wang Ye noticed a strange bird-shaped mark on Xiao Jiu’s back.

It was in the shape of a green sparrow.

…

Upon entering, Wang Ye felt a strong sense of falling, and his consciousness gradually became hazy.

It was as if he had fallen from a high altitude in the sky to the bottom of a valley.

But soon, he was caught by a gentle force, and his drowsy consciousness began to gradually wake up.

Then, Wang Ye saw what was before him.

There was no road ahead, only a river.

“This seems to be an independent space?” Wang Ye looked around, but there was no sign of any other Beastmasters.

He was the only one here. The surrounding space was just hazy, and there was no road behind him either.

Ahead, on the other side of the river, he could see a dense crimson forest where an aqua-blue wonder was vaguely rising.

“This is the first stage?” Wang Ye looked ahead. “It doesn’t seem to be difficult?”

The river was about a hundred meters wide. If they wanted to cross it, they could just fly.

“It shouldn’t be that simple…” Wang ye glanced at Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu flapped its wings and tried to fly, then… it fell!

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu looked at its wings and was somewhat at a loss.

It didn’t know why, but as soon as it tried to fly, it felt as if it didn’t know how to.

“Looks like this is the rule of the relic. This is a no-fly zone,” Wang Ye shrugged. “In other words, if we want to cross the river, we can only… swim over? The first stage is quite interesting! Letting a sky-type pet swim in a river, what is the crimson flame phoenix thinking?”

To set such a bizarre requirement in the first stage, Wang Ye reckoned that the crimson flame phoenix might have experienced drowning when it was young.

Otherwise, why would it set up such a torturous stage for birds?

After all, who would have nothing better to do than to train their sky-type pet to swim?

“Don’t you agree, Xiao Jiu?” Wang Ye rubbed Xiao Jiu’s head.

Heaven knows how many Beastmasters would be eliminated in the first stage…

“…” Xiao Jiu.

“Let’s swim over!”

“Chirp!” Xiao Jiu chirped bravely.

Finally, its swimming ability that it had been training for countless years had come in handy!

In the next moment, Xiao Jiu folded its wings, and like a peregrine falcon, it charged into the river. With a swoosh, it shot out like a torpedo!

After swimming for a while, its Beastmaster’s voice suddenly rang out from behind, “Huh? You’re leaving just like that? What about me?”

Oh! It seemed that its Beastmaster doesn’t know how to swim very well. What a noob!

Xiao Jiu turned around and returned to its original position.

As Wang Ye jumped into the water with a splash, he grabbed Xiao Jiu’s claws. Then, Xiao Jiu moved its wings like oars, bringing Wang Ye to the other side of the river!

“…” Wang Ye.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to swim.

It was just that the river was fast. His physical fitness couldn’t compare to Xiao Jiu’s, so if he swam by himself, he would be easily washed away after a while.

A green sparrow that didn’t know how to swim wasn’t a qualified sky-type pet.

In just a few minutes, Xiao Jiu dragged Wang Ye to the bank of the river on the other side.

At the same time, the surrounding space suddenly changed.

A numbing aura came from all directions.

“Hm?” Wang Ye was stunned.

“Roar!!” In front of him, a roar suddenly sounded!

It was a Supreme class thunder-type fierce beast, the thunder colossus.

Not only did it have a powerful thunder attribute, it also had the earth attribute as its secondary attribute.

It was a born enemy of sky-type pets.

“Damn, isn’t this too shady?” Wang Ye looked at the three-meter-tall giant thunder colossus in front of him.

Its spiritual energy aura was actually not high, only around five-star level two, but it was very difficult to deal with.

Especially against sky-type pets, it was simply invincible.

As a thunder-type pet, all its skills had a strong restraining effect on sky-type pets.

At the same time, its secondary attribute was the earth-type since its body was made of extremely hard stones, thus its defense was super strong!

Among its six dimensions, agility was its only weakness.

If a sky-type pet were to encounter such an opponent in battle, it would be easier to just give up.

“To think we’re faced with such a shady fierce beast as soon as we come ashore…” Wang Ye could not help but ridicule, “The crimson flame phoenix is really cunning! But unfortunately, it met me! Xiao Jiu, go! Kill It! Defeat it with a combination of Feather Coat and Feather Cut!”

Xiao Jiu let out a shrill cry. With more than 1,500 spiritual energy values, it was a standard five-star level 2 pet.

It was naturally not afraid of such an opponent!

First, it used Feather Coat.

The peak mastery realm Feather Coat covered Xiao Jiu with a thick layer of dark gold energy armor, making it seem like an indestructible supreme bird!

Putting aside the green sparrow’s small form, it did seem quite majestic!

The main reason for using Feather Coat was to prevent itself from being struck by the opponent’s lightning when attacking or prevent any rebound characteristics.

Faced with such a fierce beast that had an extremely strong defense and also the support of lightning energy, since he didn’t know the other party’s information, Wang Ye felt that it was naturally better to be careful.

After all, what if the other party had some sort of rebounding characteristic? If that were the case, even if the other party was killed by Feather Cut, Xiao Jiu might also be seriously injured.

Following that, Little Nine’s wings began to shine. Under the boost of Hurricane supreme-ruler Wings, its wings were like two light blades. Its speed was so fast that it made one’s hair stand on end as it slashed down at the thunder colossus before it!

Crack! Crack!

Almost in an instant, cracks appeared on the body of the thunder colossus.

It split open!

“Tsk, Feather Cut of the peak mastery realm is simply terrifying! And this is when it hasn’t triggered the profoundness effect yet! To think one move of the Feather Cut can have this kind of power,” Wang Ye smiled in satisfaction.

It could instantly kill an opponent at the same level!

This wasn’t a joke. Disregarding the pets of other places, just among the level 2 pets in this relic, it was unlikely that there would be a second pet with a peak mastery realm skill.

If there was, Wang Ye felt that it was most likely a big shot from a provincial capital that was here in disguise.

After the thunder colossus split open, it exploded with a terrifying lightning torrent. The area within 50 meters around it was completely covered by countless bolts of lightning.

“This fierce beast is shady indeed! It’s already f * cking dead, yet it still has such a self-destructing skill,” Wang Ye was speechless.

It seemed that the crimson flame Phoenix didn’t hold back against the pets that were here to explore the relics.

“Reasonable”.

“Fortunately, Xiao Jiu used Feather Coat. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to take it.”

After the explosion, the thunder colossus didn’t drop anything, which made Wang Ye feel very regretful.

“I think we passed the second stage. It was easy!”

Wang Ye beckoned Xiao Jiu to come over.

If he didn’t encounter some extremely difficult stage, Wang Ye didn’t plan to use the reality simulation.

He felt that with Xiao Jiu’s current strength, it could probably clear all the stages with its normal strength.

After defeating the thunder colossus, Wang Ye continued to move forward with Xiao Jiu.

After clearing the stages, two more bird-shaped imprints appeared on Xiao Jiu, probably meaning that it had cleared two stages.

“Hm… Why do I feel that the temperature is getting lower and lower?”

Not long after they left, Wang Ye felt a little puzzled. They were in the crimson flame phoenix relic, yet why hadn’t they encountered any flames yet?

Instead, they had encountered water, lightning, and now even this inexplicable low temperature. What was going on?

Not long after, Wang Ye saw a group of fierce beasts.

That’s right, it was a group!

They were ice-type fierce beasts, the frost mammoth!

“No way, it was a lightning-type fierce beast just before, and now it’s ice-type, in a group at that,” Wang Ye was stunned.

Was the crimson flame phoenix trying to destroy the sky-type pets?
