LRAB Chapter 3: Perfect Evolution! Terrifying Attributes! Soaring Combat Power!
Chapter 3: Perfect Evolution! Terrifying Attributes! Soaring Combat Power!
Su Lin was currently located in the southern part of Jiangyang City.
The terrain is a forest, close to the sea.
Since it's so close to Jiangyang City, it must have been deliberately cleared out. As long as it doesn't venture deep into the sea, there shouldn't be any particularly dangerous monsters.
In terms of types, besides the little fire snakes that Su Lin contracted, there are also wild boar monsters, wild rabbit monsters, and so on. Their purpose is to let newcomers practice; to put it bluntly, it's a beginner's area.
The Infinite Evolution System has no other requirements regarding the types of monsters hunted, except that the level of the monster cannot be lower than that of the pet itself.
In this situation, Su Lin would naturally target the weakest link.
Soon, he found the first lone hare.
"go!"
The little fire snake slid down from Su Lin's shoulder; it was only as long as an arm and looked frail.
However, perhaps because it had become a pet, it seemed much more confident, flicking its tongue and looking very determined.
"superior!"
Without wasting words, Su Lin gave the order.
The little fire snake paused for a second, then spat out a fireball.
The fireball was only the size of an egg and moved incredibly slowly, wobbling as it hurtled towards the hare.
To be honest, even Su Lin himself felt pitifully weak.
Fortunately, this hare wasn't anything special. It was only a level 1 monster, and even weaker than the little fire snake. It didn't have any skills; all it could do was kick its legs and ram its head.
"Bang!"
The fireball hit the rabbit's head, causing 15 damage.
The hare then realized what was happening, flew into a rage, and leaped forward to charge at the little fire snake, which nimbly dodged.
The second shot, the third shot.
"No wonder people look down on beast tamers, their combat power is just too weak..."
Su Lin watched the two little rascals pecking at each other, complaining aloud but secretly looking forward to it.
What's wrong with being weak?
Anyway, killing this rabbit will allow the little fire snake to evolve, and as time goes by, the rabbit's health will soon be almost depleted!
"Bang!"
Half a minute later, as the last fireball struck, the hare kicked its legs and fell to the ground.
Killing a level 1 rabbit grants +13 experience and +14 experience to your pet!
Upon seeing the notification, Su Lin was immediately overjoyed.
He completely ignored the pitifully small amount of experience points and quickly brought up the Little Fire Serpent's interface!
Skip the attributes and take a closer look.
The evolution progress in the last line has indeed changed from [0/1] to [1/1]!
At the same time, a notification sound rang in his mind.
[Ding! System notification: Pet Fire Serpent - Can evolve!]
[Evolution Status: Yes/No]
"evolution!"
What are you waiting for!
As Su Lin's excited voice fell, the little fire snake, which had just fought wits with the wild rabbit and was lying on the ground, exhausted and flicking its tongue, was suddenly enveloped in a golden light.
Swish!
It shone with golden light, obscuring everything inside; one could only sense a rich, surging life force.
Just three seconds later, Su Lin suddenly felt the aura within the golden light become even stronger, and the mental connection in his mind also became much more solid!
As the golden light faded, a completely different colossal beast was revealed!
Not bad!
This one evolution transformed the small fire snake, as long as an arm, into a giant crimson python three meters long.
Its body was covered in fiery red scales, and its eerie pupils seemed to burn with flames, exuding a fierce aura!
Upon seeing Su Lin, it revealed an extremely human-like expression of reverence and obedience, along with an undisguised pride!
"So cool!"
Su Lin was overjoyed.
Putting everything else aside, just looking at the appearance alone, the Little Fire Serpent is a complete upgrade, far superior!
Moreover, he had learned about the Crimson Flame Python from books.
As a D-rank monster, a normal Crimson Flame Python is about 1.5 meters tall. Only the best Crimson Flame Pythons with extremely pure bloodlines can reach 2 meters in size!
My own pet is nearly three meters long and has a fierce temperament, even more so than some C-rank beast pets. It can be called the best of the best!
Let's look at the information panel again.
【Crimson Flame Python (Rank D)】
[Level: 1 (4%)]
[Health Volume: 900/900]
[Mana: 1300/1300]
Attack: 120
[Defense: 40]
【Speed: 60】
【Skill:】
[1. Fireball: Consumes 10 mana, deals 1.5 times attack damage, 2-second cooldown.]
[2. Flame Barrage: Consumes 50 mana, fires 10 fireballs in quick succession, each dealing 1.5 times the attack damage. Cooldown: 5 seconds.]
[Description: This fire-attribute python has undergone a perfect evolution and its bloodline power has been pushed to its limit. Among monsters of the same level, its combat strength is barely in the middle range.]
[Evolutionary Path: Lava Blood Serpent (Rank C)]
[Evolution Progress: 0/10]
"Holy crap, awesome!"
It's no exaggeration to say that even Su Lin himself was shocked!
He anticipated that the evolved fire snake would become stronger, but he didn't expect it to become this strong!
"Normally, a higher-level beast pet of the same rank would have attributes that are five to eight times stronger than a lower-level beast pet. But this Crimson Flame Python's attributes are more than ten times stronger than the Little Fire Snake's!?"
"Is this the power of system-complete evolution?!"
"Furthermore, the original Fireball spell has evolved into Fireball, consuming only 5 more mana while reducing the cooldown by 1 second!"
"The most outrageous thing is this newly added skill: launching ten fireballs in a row! Is this even human?!"
Su Lin recalled the knowledge he had learned: the Crimson Flame Python did indeed have the talent skill [Flame Barrage], but it usually fired in 3 bursts, at most 6 bursts!
10 shots in a row?!
Furthermore, based on the attack power calculation, each shot deals 180 points of damage!
This is only level 1!
Are there any monsters of the same level that can actually withstand this?!
Even a minor boss isn't all that great, is he?!
"The most outrageous thing is..."
"Just kill ten more monsters, and the Crimson Flame Python can evolve again!"
"Lava Blood Python, that sounds even more awesome!"
"Kill the monster! Kill the monster!!"
In an instant, Su Lin's confidence soared, and his heroic spirit soared.
Five minutes ago, he was indeed the worst E-rank beast tamer.
So now, with just this Crimson Flame Python, he has already surpassed at least fifty percent of the professionals!
Do not!
Even more!
A perfectly evolved Crimson Flame Python is comparable to a C-rank beast pet, and a C-rank professional is already considered an upper-tier existence among all Awakened Ones!
In other words, with just one evolution, Su Lin's combat power increased by several levels!
Not to mention, before reaching level 30 and undergoing his second job advancement, he could contract three beast pets. With a full ten days left until the college entrance examination, how many times could he evolve them?
Wow! Just thinking about it is exciting!
Suppressing his excitement, Su Lin led the Crimson Flame Python and strode towards the maple forest.
"Hmph! Hmph!"
Coincidentally, not far along, Su Lin encountered a wild boar foraging for food.
Wild Boar (Normal Monster)
[Level: 5]
[Health Volume: 670/670]
Because he lacked detection skills, Su Lin could only see the most basic information.
Judging from its appearance, this wild boar was almost twice the size of a domesticated pig, weighing at most thirty or forty pounds. It had black skin and hair, red eyes, and tusks.
But it has a level of 5!
Even though you can't see the defense and attack, you can tell that it's absolutely incomparable to a wild rabbit!
Su Lin admitted that if he had the small fire snake he had before, he would have run away as soon as he encountered this big guy.
But now...
"No matter how you look at it, level one versus level five, the advantage is mine!"
"Crimson Flame, go, give it a ten-shot combo, let it taste the saltiness!"
