Chapter 170 The Nirvana Demon Stuns the Rat Emperor! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
【Void Slug Horn (Mid-Tier 4-Star): A life form born in the void ecosystem, resembling a regular slug in appearance, entirely purple in color, possessing a unique purple horn, feeding on minerals condensed in the void turbulence, and digesting them through a special mucus within its body.
Sometimes it disguises itself as stone to prey on small void creatures that pass by, often swallowing them whole to experience the pleasure of life's struggle and death.
They mostly appear in family groups, but they dislike large gatherings, as they believe it would affect the distribution of food resources.
Void Slugs can draw energy from the void through the horn on their heads, activate a special void force field, quickly adapt to the void environment, and reduce the damage caused by void turbulence.
The powerful Void Slug can manipulate Void Storms through force fields, causing prey that enters them to be corroded and slowed down. When its proficiency is maximized, it can shatter the force field and cause massive damage.
It can be prepared as a secret skill food; consuming it will grant the user the top-tier, high-level skill "Void Field".
A Void-type skill that perfectly suits Spider-Man.
Now that the little spider has advanced to the Commander rank, it's time to enter the void and hunt for void fragments.
Mature pet animals will find their own food!
Except for mice, they're shameless!
However, the void ecosystem differs from other ecosystems. While most ecosystems can accommodate weak life forms, the void is filled with all sorts of void storms, making it extremely dangerous.
Even life forms that live within it year-round will be shredded to dust if they accidentally enter the powerful void turbulence.
A true death trap!
Therefore, the longer the void-type monsters live, the more terrifying they become!
The Void Field skill can reduce the intensity of Void Turbulence, allowing for quick adaptation to the Void environment, which is perfect for exploring the Void later on. It also has good attack capabilities, essentially acting as a field skill to achieve an AoE (area of effect) output effect.
For non-void type pets, it's a nightmare.
Crimson Lotus, fearing Lu Yu might not know about her abilities, finished explaining and then looked at the little spider that had woven a small spider silk boat and was playing a drifting game, saying:
"Your little spider has great strength and potential, but if you want it to further enhance its potential, it needs to enter the void and devour real space fragments, which contain void elements that help it grow."
If you encounter a weak void turbulence, you can try to have it enter it with the [Void Field Beast's Horn] to avoid injury. Inside, it can improve its spatial perception, which will be very beneficial for its future development.
Red Lotus of the Crimson Moon was unaware that the man before her possessed the power of forbidden secret food, which allowed him to directly usurp racial skills; therefore, she merely offered her advice.
Thank you!
Lu Yu sincerely thanked the guild leader and Crimson Moon Lotus, since the agreed-upon reward was only Morning Star Rank materials.
However, even among Morning Star materials, there is a significant price difference between materials of different attributes, especially the Space type, which is extremely rare and can be as valuable as materials from two different elemental types.
Moreover, the fact that it took so long suggests that the goods were sourced from different places, which must have taken a lot of effort.
Looking at Lu Yu's expression, Chi Yue Hong Lian's lips curled up, revealing a smug smile.
Foolish sister,
It has to be your older sister who will personally teach you how to date!
Upon hearing this, Akatsuki Yume's ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) swayed slightly, and she calmly said:
"Hmm, it's a pity I couldn't find any materials for the Void skin."
Actually, she initially wanted to go home to move some things, including top-tier void materials, which were her mother's collection. However, just as she was about to act, Lilith held her back tightly.
She's not even married yet, and she's already planning to empty out all the good stuff from the house.
What a drafty little black cotton ball!
Lilith didn't know if Crimson Moon Dream would be alright, but she was certain that the True King would dismantle it and burn it for firewood.
Lilith is burning up, but doesn't want to be burned.
So it went through all sorts of trouble, using its silver tongue to come up with a bunch of excuses, before it finally managed to stop Chiyue Meng, leaving even the wooden cabinet feeling numb.
Ever since Crimson Moon Dream met Lu Yu, things have gotten more and more outrageous, leaving it feeling exhausted...
Forget it, let's just destroy it!
"Thank you so much, Chairman! This is very kind of you; it just solved my immediate problem!"
Lu Yu responded with a smile. As for the [Void Skin], he also knew about it. It was a Void-type super-tier skill, also known as the Child of the Void.
Those who possess this skill are all beings favored by the will of the void, able to freely traverse the void without fear of most void turbulence.
It can freely absorb void energy to strengthen itself, possessing extremely strong defense while also enhancing the power of all space-based skills. Most importantly, it is a passive skill!
It will continue to grow!
However, such pets are extremely rare, at least being top-tier Void Overlord monsters.
Encountering one in the vast and endless void ecosystem is extremely difficult, and most importantly, if you can't defeat it, you can also run away.
Therefore, relevant materials are extremely rare.
They sell out as soon as they appear on the market!
"However, if I manage to get a Luck-attribute skill using the Gluttony Cauldron next time, I might consider taking a trip to the Void Ecosystem..."
Lu Yu pondered and began planning the team-building activities in the void.
After soaking in the hot spring for half an hour, even those with strong constitutions felt a bit hot, especially the rat, who was so hungry that its stomach was practically sticking to its back, and it let out a hungry roar.
"Awoo~"
However, it forgot that it was still in the form of a brilliant black dragon ant, and its cries were like ghosts howling and wolves howling, with dragon energy sweeping through and shaking the barrier.
Click click click!
"not good!"
Seeing this, Red Lotus became somewhat anxious.
Even though she was wearing a swimsuit, it was still too daring. Her brother-in-law is half of her sister's butt, so it's okay for him to take a look.
But outsiders are absolutely not allowed.
Before she could even act, the little spider bound and packaged it, then threw it aside, turning it into a tiny worm that struggled to roll and crawl on the ground.
"Waaah! Waaah!"
The little spider looked embarrassed and kept apologizing.
Although Little Spider is usually very gentle, she will still show her big sister attitude when it matters, and will never let the mouse turn into a brat.
"Is this hamster's head filled only with gluttony and fear? Has the side effects of the secret technique amplifying desires not worn off yet? Or is it just revealing its true nature...?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes, but he was indeed a little hungry, so everyone got up and went to the changing room to change their clothes.
Along the way, a large number of pretty young girls dressed as maids served and guided them. If Lu Yu hadn't refused, these maids would have even come in to help him change.
Tsk, the corrupt life of capitalists!
Lu Yu wasn't being pretentious, but the two kids were still around, and he needed to maintain a positive image.
Moreover, after visiting Happy Street, I always felt that something was missing from these places.
The fish-man tastes so good!
Afterwards, Lu Yu arrived at the restaurant of the hot spring resort. In an elegantly decorated open-air private room, he could see a small volcano not far away, which was emitting wisps of black smoke.
If your eyesight is good, you can even see scattered monsters fleeing, seemingly trying to avoid something.
It turned out to be a volcano view room, far surpassing the ocean view room.
However, unlike idol dramas where wealthy families casually hire a row of chefs to prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, that's practically impossible in reality.
After all, wealthy people pay more attention to health and rarely indulge in excessive amounts of meat and fish. Instead, they prefer a lighter diet, such as a steamed dish that was once very popular, but the taste... is really hard to describe!
Since Lu Yu and the others are all carnivores, especially the rats, after tasting barbecue, they have longed for hot pot for a long time, and Chi Yue Hong Lian and others also agree.
They're already a disgrace to succubi; if they don't become carnivorous demons, they're really doomed!
In the end, it was unanimously decided that we would eat the hot spring egg waffle hot pot, a specialty of the hot spring town.
It's not that they directly eat the pet—the hot spring egg waffle—but rather that this pet resembles a peeled egg in appearance, but its head is flat, like a lotus leaf disc.
However, the temperature on top is extremely high, and hot spring water can spray out from it, so you can easily get scalded if you're not careful.
But eating it directly... that would be like drinking monster saliva!
The correct way to use it is to treat it as a special induction cooker. Fix the hot pot on its head, pour in the secret hot pot base and spring water, and then use its own temperature to heat it up. It is somewhat similar to hot spring cuisine, and the taste is exceptionally delicious.
During the process, as long as you feed the onsen egg waffle beforehand, it will lie down and sleep obediently and will not steal food.
At this moment, the giant hot spring egg, like a table, fell into a deep sleep, while three staff members dressed in hot spring resort uniforms were busy around it.
Two men and one woman. The woman was sweet and wore a uniform similar to a cheongsam. When she walked, her long, slender legs, covered in black stockings, would be revealed. She was quite voluptuous. The other two... looked like men!
"Hello, boss!"
Upon hearing the commotion, they quickly stood up and greeted the new and old bosses. Chi Yue Hong Lian nodded slightly.
Aside from occasionally embarrassing herself in front of Lu Yu and her sister, she was always a decisive and powerful businesswoman, exuding a strong sense of authority.
She ignored the few employees and went straight to her seat.
On the contrary, Lu Yu felt that the people in front of him looked strangely familiar. After a moment's thought, he quickly remembered them.
"Aren't these three the bounty hunters from the Hyena mission?"
Lu Yu was still deeply impressed by these three headstrong kids who dared to charge straight into the monster's lair.
If he hadn't arrived just in time, and hadn't overheard the conversation through the mist crows and learned that the guy named Zhao Bin was at least sensible and hadn't embezzled his share of the mission reward, he wouldn't have stepped in to help.
But... weren't these three guys full of confidence and determined to become big shots?
Previously, hunting hyenas was just because they couldn't afford the rent, so they temporarily lowered their standards and worked part-time as bounty hunters. How come they've all come to Hot Spring Town to work as waiters now?
Is this a new era of beast-taming graduates finding flexible employment?
The thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, but he didn't pay it any mind. There is no high or low in professions; it's all a matter of personal choice.
Even if it were him, if he hadn't awakened the Key to the Gate, Lu Yu would still be raising pigs, the same profession as Sun Wukong.
However, given the trio's personalities, they are indeed not suited to be adventurers in the wilderness. To put it nicely, they are naive; to put it bluntly, they are stupid. They might end up with their whole family at a banquet one day, but they are not in any immediate danger.
Since they were just nodding acquaintances and considered strangers, Lu Yu didn't greet him, let alone invite him to eat hot pot together.
Let alone strangers, even friends, he wouldn't use the chairman's hospitality as a favor.
This is the basic principle of how people get along!
Others may not care, but I won't take advantage of them!
"This is... the legendary Lu Yu!"
The trio naturally recognized him as well, their expressions somewhat complicated. They hadn't expected that the important person they had been notified to receive was actually him!
As an employee here, I naturally heard that someone spent a fortune to buy a hot spring resort just to host a distinguished guest.
While they were marveling at it, they were still wondering which beast tamer it was.
totally unexpected……
It turned out to be the great god who had once saved their lives!
Although no name or information was left at the time, anyone within the border area who can access the internet has definitely heard of Lu Yu, this supernova who is second only to the top prodigies!
During this time, they naturally saw the videos that would go viral online every now and then, especially the series of impressive achievements, which left them speechless.
Compared to their struggles in reality, Lu Yu completely turned the real world into a game of mowing grass, and every time he entered a secret realm, he became a completely different person.
Chen Chi, the bespectacled man, was shocked. Although he felt that Lu Yu would rise to prominence when they first met, he did not expect to underestimate him. This was clearly a direct ascension to heaven in a floating city!
Especially just a few months ago, Lu Yu was fighting on equal footing with the elite-level Berserker Hyena, but now he has become the number one person after the spiritual transformation.
Many people online have predicted that once Lu Yu advances to the Gold rank, he is expected to challenge the Spiritual Transformation level of Beast Tamers. He is a genius destined to become the Morning Star Overlord, and even the Radiant Moon rank is not out of the question.
Before, if you didn't know, you could comfort yourself by saying that the other person came from a good family. But Lu Yu's past has long been exposed. He suffered mental trauma due to the death of his parents and remained silent for three months. However, he did not give up and continued to rise against the odds through his own efforts!
It made him realize that gold cannot be buried.
Arriving in the hot spring town wasn't because he'd been discouraged by Lu Yu and given up his profession as a beast tamer to become a waiter. Rather, they had recently successfully broken through to the Silver rank, but lacked the funds to buy a new pet beast…
I happened to see the job posting. I heard that the atmosphere here is great and there are often rumors of ordinary people forming contracts with pets. So I came here to work and save money, and at the same time I hope to form a contract with a pet from the volcanic ecosystem.
Zhao Bin has his eye on the Hot Spring Egg, which has mastered the hot water skill. Its water and lava attributes perfectly match his Explosive Fire Bull, and they can be combined to form a beef hot pot... ptooey, ptooey, a spiritual puzzle piece of raging fire and oil!
In a fit of rage, a raging fire erupted, scorching all enemies!
Chen Chi and Song Yue have also found their target and are working hard to earn money to buy their favorite pet food, gradually building a closer relationship.
Pets don't love money, but every moment that touches their hearts requires money!
I thought I would never have anything to do with such an important person again, but I never expected to meet him again!
Especially when she saw the Chiyue sisters beside Lu Yu, she was stunned by their beauty.
Song Yue, his childhood sweetheart, was actually a well-known beauty in the town, but compared to them, she was like an ugly duckling compared to a swan!
Because they were in the wrong last time, Chen Chi and his two companions didn't try to ingratiate themselves with the others, but instead quietly left the private room.
After leaving the house, Chen Chi couldn't help but remark, "A genius like him is bound to have beautiful women by his side!"
"And that's our new boss! It seems like those two rich sisters are trying to keep him as a mistress!"
Zhao Bin said enviously, then added:
"I might be jealous of anyone else, but this is a genius... I just think they're such a perfect match, a top-tier couple!"
As for Song Yue, she remained silent, keeping her head down and not uttering a word.
"well……"
The two boys exchanged a glance and didn't say anything more. They were worried but also relieved. Although it was a big blow, it was good to face reality. They were even a little secretly pleased.
They have another chance!
However, what the two didn't know was that Song Yue, with her head down, showed no disappointment; on the contrary, her expression was somewhat excited.
Just as I expected, the powerful figure with the succubus mark isn't as abstinent as he appears in private...
Although Song Yue occasionally likes to dream like a little girl, she has long since come to terms with reality and doesn't think she can win over a man like that.
The current mindset is more like that of a fanatical idol worshipper, with a sense of admiration and gossip, confirming the previous conjecture about the succubus pattern on Lu Yu's hand.
This expert really knows how to have fun in private!
If he throws a party in the future, I'd be willing to go!
There's a joy in discovering a little secret about your idol!
With their own thoughts, the three returned to the kitchen to prepare ingredients, and soon the fresh, top-quality ingredients were brought up.
These are all ecological ranches established with the extraordinary power of special pets. The beef, mutton, vegetables, and other meats are of better quality than truly natural ones. They utilize advanced technology and even include some monster ingredients that will make any mouse's eyes pop out.
"This place... is simply paradise!"
The mouse is tearing up, jpg!
Everyone prepared their own dipping sauces and took their seats, summoning their pets. However, not every pet liked human food.
For example, the chubby little bird of the Crimson Lotus landed smoothly on the E-Mingjingren as soon as it appeared, proudly spreading its little wings as if it had returned victorious.
"Chirp chirp, what are you doing!?"
The mature woman, Crimson Lotus, blushed instantly and reached out to grab it, but it easily dodged her. She then showed a disdainful expression, bounced around a few more times, and a chase ensued.
Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh, this little chubby bird was clearly female, yet it acted just like a hamster.
As for Crimson Moon Dream's Abyss Demon Eye, it came to Lu Yu to ask for a sour plum candy, tore off the coating, bit into it, and happily flew into the air.
As expected, the male homeowner is really helpful; there's always something delicious to eat!
It agreed to the marriage!
"Be careful, it's hot."
Lu Yu cooked a serving of fresh beef for the mouse and the little spider, put it in a bowl, and then took a bite himself. The meat was delicious, and it was even better with the secret dipping sauce. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Xiu Ren, it's my turn to do it now!"
The mouse was completely captivated by hot pot the first time it tasted it, and couldn't wait to use telepathy to express its desire to show off its skills.
Rumble!
However, just as it was about to grab a piece of fresh scorpion-tail beef tripe, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, overturning the hot pot. Fortunately, everyone dodged in time and was not splashed, but the hot pot, along with a large amount of ingredients, was scattered all over the ground.
"..."
The mouse held the chopsticks, stared at the food on the ground, and remained silent for a long time, its stomach rumbling.
"What happened?"
Everyone was surprised. The conversation quickly led to the source of the problem: billowing black smoke was coming from a small volcano not far away. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered all around, countless lightning snakes roamed around, and a large number of pets near the lava began to flee in all directions, even causing a stampede.
It presents a scene of impending doom.
"Gurgle!"
Even the hot spring egg seemed to sense something, suddenly waking up, opening its eyes, and running away with the pot on its body, leaving the mouse with no last thought, and black smoke faintly emanating from its body.
Endless resentment is rising!
This is... a small volcano is about to erupt!?
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the residents of the hot spring town, who looked panicked and made a racket.
"How could this happen? Weren't there spiritual rituals set up near the volcano to suppress it? How could it still erupt? Did that scribe cut corners? I'm going to file a complaint against him with the Alliance!"
"Forget about the complaints, hurry up and grab your belongings and run! Otherwise, when the lava comes, we'll all die!"
"Please evacuate in an orderly manner, letting the elderly and children go first. Property is valuable, but life is more precious!"
"Damn it, I've worked so hard to pay off this house for twenty years, and I've only lived here for a few years!"
"My little one, where are you?"
"..."
The entire hot spring town was in chaos, and a bunch of employees at the resort where Lu Yu was staying were also trying to flee.
Faced with the immense power of nature, even a small volcanic eruption can be a catastrophic disaster for ordinary living beings.
Perhaps only the Morning Star rank can contend with it!
However, there were no such powerful individuals in the town, so most residents had no choice but to evacuate their homes where they had lived for decades.
"Damn it!"
Lu Yu looked gloomy. He originally wanted to leave, but he found that Chi Yue Hong Lian and Lilith were standing in the same spot, staring blankly at the small volcano in the distance.
Lilith murmured, "That's not right. According to my divination, this guy should wake up in at least a week. How could it be so soon..."
Lu Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, but then realized that they seemed to know the reason for the sudden volcanic eruption, so he quickly asked:
What's inside the volcano?
"You should know that Hot Spring Town used to be one of the human race's border defenses, right?"
Lilith asked a question in return, and seeing Lu Yu nod, she continued:
"The ones who attacked this area were the demons of the abyss, led by a Morning Star-rank Lava Mountain Demon. However, the human beastmaster had set a trap beforehand and ambushed and killed them here."
However, on its deathbed, it dropped its body into this volcano that should have been dormant, merging with it and thus becoming the active volcano it is today.
"Could it be that he's still alive?" Lu Yu frowned.
But it seems unlikely. Generally, alliances conduct thorough surveys and only establish towns once they are sure there are no problems.
If there were any living demons, they would have been captured long ago, since the materials from their bodies are notoriously valuable.
"No, he is indeed dead!"
Lilith shook her head and continued:
"But its origin is somewhat unusual. It seems to come from an ecological kingdom related to the Undying Phoenix. It has been eroded by the energy radiation of higher beings and has a trace of Nirvana characteristics. Although it is very rare, the Molten Mountain Demon is a race that lives in the Hell Volcano Plane. From birth to death, and even the repair of injuries, it can use the power of the volcano."
Being near the volcano was enough to activate this rebirth ability, helping it retain a trace of its living spirit. Moreover, the lord of the plane to which it belonged was a descendant of a ghostly royal tree, but it had fallen into the abyss and corrupted, becoming the abyssal ghostly tree.
It entrusted some of its roots and seeds to it, hoping to grow a branch in the main world. However, it didn't expect that this guy would be killed as soon as it landed. These things were still preserved on its body, nourishing its soul and concealing its aura, thus avoiding the Alliance's detection. Over the long years, it absorbed volcanic spiritual energy and gradually reshaped its body.
But according to my divination, there should still be more than a week left, how could it suddenly erupt...?
Crimson Moon Lotus also spoke up: "The roots of the descendants of the Royal Tree are the key to the evolution of the Abyss Demon Eye. The real Royal Tree is too powerful, it exists throughout all realms. Although the descendants of the Royal Tree are in the Abyss, they are hidden very deeply and it is not easy to find them. This one is the easiest to obtain."
"But since you're coming, I thought we might as well go on a hot spring trip. I originally planned to go and take it away today, and nip this potential volcanic eruption danger in the bud. But I didn't expect it to suddenly get out of control. I'm really sorry to have given you such a terrible vacation."
Akatsuki Yume lowered her head and said softly.
"Feel sorry."
"fine."
Lu Yu shook his head, not caring. After all, based on the initial invitation time of Chi Yue Meng, the other party could probably have nipped it in the bud. It was actually because he delayed the plan that things happened.
What bothered him even more was that Lilith and her group's information channels were able to know such a secret matter and even perform divination.
It looks like we can also purchase some special information and intelligence in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu didn't want his vacation to be ruined like this, so he had to deal with it as soon as possible and asked:
"If this guy were to come back to life, how much of his strength would he retain?"
"Having absorbed volcanic energy for so long, at least a spiritual transformation has occurred!"
Lily answered decisively, then added:
"There's a high probability that she'll reach the level of the Queen Bee from the previously popular Corruption Realm, before she reverted to her dragon form, or even return to the Morning Star rank—it's not impossible!"
Before Lu Yu could even speak, the entire hot spring resort was once again thrown into violent tremors.
Another earthquake struck!
Rumble!
The crater passage broke apart, shattering a large amount of burning rocks. After the gases inside the volcano exploded, they propelled rock debris and deep magma into the air with tremendous force, forming an eruption column.
Large amounts of lava erupted, and a huge figure was slowly climbing up from the crater.
"I'll take care of it!"
Seeing this, Crimson Lotus frowned slightly. Just as she was about to merge the Abyss Crimson Sparrow into herself, she was shocked by what she saw and exclaimed:
"How is this possible!?"
crater,
Having absorbed volcanic energy to reshape its body, the lava troll, now resembling a magma structure and burning with raging flames, crawled out of the crater, radiating boundless, scorching magma energy that burned the earth.
"It's over!"
"How could it be an abyss demon!"
"Help! I don't want to die!"
"Run, everyone!"
This scene filled many people with horror and even despair!
If it's a small volcano erupting, they can still escape, but if it's a demon from the abyss chasing them...
Death awaits them!
Even the league couldn't arrive in time to rescue them!
Looking down at the crowds fleeing frantically across the land, he roared:
"Humans, you have shattered my body for decades, and I will make you pay the price..."
boom!
Before he could finish speaking, a blood-red figure descended from the sky and smashed it away with a powerful punch, sending it crashing into the volcano it had painstakingly climbed out of, where it sank back to the bottom of the lava.
"roar!"
An angry dragon roar resounded through the void, and a powerful dragon aura swept out, scattering the dark clouds and reflecting a phantom image that resembled a blood-red star field.
This scene left everyone stunned.
The next moment, a mental wave even stronger than the resentment of the Lava Mountain Demon spread out:
"They spilled the precious hot pot, wasted food, and let me down..."
"Today, I, the little mouse, am going to beat you to death!"
