After reading the introduction on the stone carving, Ren knew that the [God of Destruction] in the glass jar of Lei Chi was an elemental thing. Even in the ancient times when gods and demons existed, this thing was an elemental treasure.
The people of the ancient Monkel country kept it here, firstly, to provide energy for the mausoleum, and secondly, to cultivate the [Immortal Thunder Crow].
It is written on the stone carving that this thunder crow is not placed here for protection, but as a "companion spirit beast" prepared for the strongest trialist of the Pallas family.
It is considered one of the final trial rewards.
It is said that once the contract is successfully signed, the thunder crow can assist people in practicing the [Thunder God Art]. The thunder crow swallows thunder and grows, and the host's cultivation level also increases, and it can also strengthen the body and so on.
Under the stone carving, a complicated contract magic circle was carved.
It seemed more complex than any magical contract that Ren had ever seen.
"If it is to assist in fighting spirit training, isn't this somewhat similar to the effect of [Thunder Totem]?"
Ren turned his head and looked at the cheerful silly bird beside him that was poking him with its beak, and frowned a little.
No matter what, there will never be too many cheats for practicing.
However, can he really succeed in the contract
Now he finally understood. Although he didn't know what level of extraordinary beings this trial place was prepared for in ancient times, it was definitely not for third-level extraordinary beings like him.
Otherwise, as soon as he enters the fourth floor of this mausoleum, this stupid bird will have to electrocute him.
Looking at the contract method on the stone carvings, Ren was also greatly moved.
But I just don't know if it is willing. After all, ordinary monsters will not be willing to contract with humans of a lower level than themselves. This "magical bird" is probably extremely proud.
It is the fifth level, and most likely it will look down on Renn, a weakling of the third level.
Thinking about it, Ren still planned to communicate with this idiot and said, "Well... are you willing to sign a contract with me?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the contract magic circle carved on the stone.
But the silly bird didn't seem to understand at all, and continued to peck happily.
Ren tilted his head and thought about it, maybe the question was asked in the wrong way. Perhaps, ancient birds should ask in ancient languages
Then, he changed to Monkey language and spoke again.
At this time, the stupid bird seemed to understand that the guy in front of him was talking to it again and stopped. But Ren could understand the confused little anthropomorphic eyes, but it still didn't understand.
Then, he started pecking merrily again.
He now understands that this stupid bird doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just that it's been a pain in the ass after being locked up for tens of thousands of years.
"It would be great if Udo was here. She is proficient in the 'Language of Beasts' and should be able to communicate with this bird..."
Ren frowned slightly, giving up any hope.
I tried it one last time, but this time I used "ancient devil language".
Unexpectedly, the thunder crow suddenly stretched its neck and tilted its head to look at him.
Ren was delighted and immediately realized: It understood!
The ancient demon language has a "meaning" aspect. Even if you can't understand the syllables, if you can understand a certain level, you can roughly feel and understand part of the consciousness.
This magical bird seems to understand this advanced language, at least part of it.
But before Ren could be happy, he saw the silly bird's elemental face changing into a look that deserved a beating.
That sense of contempt can be seen without any communication at all, as if to say: Are you a noob? Still want to contract with me
Ren's face twitched, he looked at the stupid bird faintly, and said again: "Think carefully, if you don't sign a contract with me, you will probably be imprisoned for countless years and never be able to get out..."
The stupid bird probably didn't understand everything about this game.
But it still understands the meaning of "closed" and "can't get out".
There is a restriction here that restricts it from going out. It has been locked up for countless years, and when a human suddenly comes, it also finds it very strange. There was a look of "frowning in deep thought" on that crow's face.
Seeing that there was something going on, Renne continued to increase the pressure.
He thought about the method of taming animals that Udo once introduced to him, and turned on the beep mode.
To deal with monsters that are not very intelligent, it is nothing more than coercion and inducement.
Coercion is impossible, and there is nothing that Ren can do about the immortal Thunder Crow; but inducement, the Warcraft's thinking is also very simple, it is either food or the right to mate.
He said: "Let me tell you, if you sign a contract with me, you can go out with me. The world outside is huge, and you can fly everywhere in the vast sky... and there are all kinds of thunder to eat. Are you tired of eating this thunder? Do you want to change your taste? Let me tell you, there are all kinds of female and male birds out there... "
I don’t know if there is a gender for this magical bird, and I don’t know if the one in front of me is male or female. Anyway, Ren is just a fool.
For this kind of native bird that has never seen the world, we must use "sugar-coated bullets" to conquer its sanity.
Don't tell me, this trick is quite useful.
Anyway, Ren was beeping like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the expression on the Thundercrow's face became more and more struggling.
However, probably because of the arrogant bloodline of the divine bird, it never had the idea of surrendering to a weakling. Just like an elephant, even a young elephant cannot be a follower to a weasel.
At this time, the system had captured enough data, and it determined the intelligence quotient of this thunder crow: it was roughly equivalent to the level of a two- or three-year-old human, and similar to Erha.
To this extent, most of the time the behavior is driven by instinct, rather than having much "wisdom" at all.
After being unmoved for a long time, Renn also resorted to the ultimate trick - "play hard to get".
He said: "Hey... If you don't want to make a contract, I'm going to leave. It's such a small place and I don't have a single playmate. I don't want to be locked up here for countless years... Just treat yourself like a bird." Come on. I'm gone, and you don't even have anyone to peck..."
As he said that, he looked like he was going to walk out of the magic door.
Anyway, I thought, if you go out, you can come in again.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Renn looked back at the "Wooden Chicken" who was standing there, and finally saw the mocking expression on its face that didn't deserve a beating.
This stupid bird is caught in a dilemma. It must either sign a contract with a weak human being or be imprisoned for "lifetime".
Originally, it had never seen much of the world, and it didn't think there was anything wrong with the concept of being "closed". It thought the world only had a few thousand square meters like the temple.
Now after listening to Ren's beep, it also knows about the "flowery world" outside, and its outlook has been refreshed.
Not to mention other temptations, it seems to be very fun to have a "live" thing to play with.
If you choose based on instinct, the result is obvious.
Finally, when Ren was about to reach the magic light door, a burst of lightning suddenly flashed, and the silly bird appeared next to him like a ghost.
Then, it held its noble head high and still refused to bow its head.
But Ren understood clearly. Its expression that wanted to be beaten was saying: Weak human being, this bird has agreed to sign a contract with you!
"..."
Ren rolled his eyes.
But he doesn't have any "idol baggage", so he can just bow his head. Anyway, signing the contract will do no harm to him.
Then he turned around and returned to the altar with this proud fool.
... ..
The contract magic circle is ready-made on the stone carving. Simply fill the groove with some blood and activate it successfully. Follow the steps in the "instructions" and the contract is completed.
Renn successfully became equal companions with this [Immortal Thunder Crow].
The signing of the "Companion Contract" gave him a very magical experience, as if his soul was somehow involved with something.
Now when communicating with that silly bird, you no longer need to look at its expression. You can sense each other's moods.
But I thought I couldn't keep calling "silly bird" and "silly bird", so I had to give it a name.
Ren asked: "Do you have a name?"
Thundercrow naturally understands it, but obviously it has no name.
Ren thought about it for a while. He could discharge electricity and was a bit like Erha, so he asked, "How about I call you 'Pica'?"
"..."
The silly bird looked indifferent and still played the game of pecking people with its beak with great interest. It's probably like a dog that likes to bite people's trouser legs.
It seemed that it thought it would be interesting to have an additional human companion.
Renn looked at its thunderous body with a wingspan of more than ten meters, and asked: "Can you become smaller?"
The companion spirit beast will naturally follow him wherever he goes.
But it's so big, taking it out and being cool is secondary, but it's not very convenient.
After saying this, the "pickup truck" really shrank in size.
It is originally an elemental creature, it has no entity, and it is just the manifestation of the elements when it gets bigger or smaller.
But it's still big.
"Can it be smaller?"
"It would be better if it were smaller..."
"..."
Under Ren's tactful instructions, the Thunder Crow became smaller and smaller, and finally became the size of a sparrow, landing on Ren's head.
The chicken pecks at the rice, clucking.
However, this chick with purple thunder light looks petite, but it is still deadly. Not everyone can afford these hundreds of millions of volts.
Renn asked again: "Pica, can you control the discharge? Can you not discharge it at any time..."
He himself was fine, but if he went out like this, no one could stand dozens of meters around him.
No, it should be because there is no vegetation.
This stupid bird didn't seem to understand what "discharge" meant. Then Ren showed it how to release and restrain its fighting spirit, and the bird understood it immediately.
The system showed that the voltage on its body surface, which fluctuated from 100 million to 1 billion, finally stopped, and now was only a few hundred to several thousand volts.
After it adapts to this ability, it should be even lower.
This is no fatal threat to other extraordinary beings.
Ren was quite satisfied.
Now just looking at the appearance, it looks a bit like a low-level elemental monster "Lightning Bird", which is not noticeable at all.
... .
Not long after, Ren searched the entire temple carefully. There was no more treasure, so he planned to leave.
Those stone carvings and sculptures seem to be fixed to the main hall. They cannot be moved, so they can only stay here. Thinking about leaving some "opportunities" for future generations.
However, he once again drew his attention to the glass jar containing a wisp of [World-Destroying Divine Thunder] in the thunder pool.
This is something that scares people to death just by looking at the introduction. You won’t miss it when you come here.
Although I don't understand what this thing is used for, but if it doesn't work, it can be used as an energy supply device, right? It would also be great to use it on their flying machine city in Black Dragon City in the future.
Moreover, it seems that the jar is just a decoration and should be taken away.
Ren didn't dare to move, so he first asked the stupid bird on his head: "Pica, you said we all have to leave. Is it okay if I take your 'snacks' with me?"
The stupid bird nodded its head, and naturally agreed. After all, it grew up eating this.
One person and one bird communicated again, and the silly bird said that the jar was not dangerous.
Then, Renn carefully walked into the thunder pool.
The closer he got, the terrifying electric arcs as thick as forearms, like an octopus's hand, "touched" his body from time to time, making him feel the waves of numbness.
However, because of the [Thunder Totem], the electric shock can still be withstood.
Moreover, there is a thunder-swallowing beast on his head.
"Pika" opened his mouth from time to time and swallowed a few sticks, as if he had swallowed a big lightning bug, with a timid expression.
Without any accidents, Renn walked over and easily took the jar in his hand.
The stone platform engraved with mysterious symbols was probably an electrical guidance device. After the glass jar left, the exaggerated electric arc in the thunder pool disappeared instantly.
The dazzling light in the entire temple dimmed instantly.
Holding the glass bottle in his hand, it was like touching a red-hot iron. Even through the protective vindictiveness, the skin was burned to the point of pain. Renn had to use healing techniques to wash away the burns before he could hold back.
Taking a closer look, there are layers of 3D runes on the glass bottle, like some kind of extremely high-level seal.
But thinking about it, the [World-Destroying Divine Thunder], which is said to be a myth, has existed since the creation of the world and represents the world's top destructive element. It is impossible for a third-level transcendent to hold it in his hands.
Renn felt like he was holding an "atomic bomb" in his hand, but it had been in the jar for so many years, so there was no need to worry.
"Pickup" jumped on the glass jar, stepped on it, and an electric arc would pop out, and then swallowed it skillfully, a bit like the little toy called "static ion ball" in the previous life.
Ren played with it and was very happy.
... ..
Not long after, Ren walked out of the magic door.
Guy and the others outside also breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at the purple bird on Ren's head and were also curious.
Ganix asked casually: "Mr. Lane, why did you go in and bring out a bird?"
When he said this, the bird looked like it was looking at people with its nostrils, holding its neck high, and the lightning crackling on its body.
It is willing to deal with Ren, the contract owner, but it may not necessarily deal with other "lower creatures".
Being despised by a bird, Gannix became even more curious: "Hey... Mr. Lane, can your bird still glare at people?"
Renn didn't know how to explain it, and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "This is a magical bird, but it has been locked up for too long, and it doesn't know how to interact with people. You should also stay away from it for the time being, it is very dangerous..."
Catherine looked slightly strange, but she didn't say anything.
Guy frowned and squinted his eyes, feeling a faint sense of threat.
Only Naretta seemed to recognize the bird's origin, and a look of solemnity appeared on the cat's face.
This girl probably won't be able to change back to her human form for the time being. The [Necronomicon] is full of spells, but it doesn't mention the issue of bloodline beast transformation at all.
I thought I could only find Bazel in the future and ask him about his experience of turning into a beast.
Renn didn't intend to explain more and called everyone: "Let's go, this mausoleum is about to be closed, we should go out..."
... .
More than a month later.
There are still three days until the auction of "Black Wind Collar".
At a certain ancient site in the "Tehsen Desert".
Three people and a cat are taking a rest.
Naretta turned into a black cat and seemed to have developed the feline love of basking in the sun. The sun was still good, so she lay on the sand and basked lazily in the sun. A black cat's paw held its chin, and from time to time a cat would flip through two pages of a book, occasionally muttering a few incomprehensible spells.
Behind her, several skeleton monsters were fanning themselves with fans.
These are some of the most basic spells she has mastered from the [Necronomicon] - "Control the Undead".
However, now it can only super control the lowest level skeleton monster.
Because of her ability, the group never encountered any zombie attacks in the desert.
Not far away, Gannix had just finished practicing his spear, and he humbly asked Guy, who was watching, for advice: "Senior Guy, what do you think of my marksmanship just now?"
"not bad."
"Senior Guy, do you think I can understand the 'Intent of the Gun'? How did you feel when you first understood the 'Intention'?"
"It's a long story..."
"Senior Guy, you..."
"..."
Although this hunting trip was thrilling and almost cost him his life several times, Gannix also gained a lot.
Not only did he gain more knowledge, but he also realized the "great insights" between life and death. He successfully gathered his "power" and advanced to the third level of transcendence.
Catherine heard her son nagging, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Gannix! You have just advanced to [Demon Hunter], and your realm is not yet stable, and you are thinking about the fourth level of Transcendence? That's it?" I can’t practice by myself without worrying about disturbing Mr. Guy all day long!”
"..."
Gannix was said to have no temper, but he pursed his lips and said resentfully: "I just want to ask for advice..."
He had witnessed with his own eyes the scene when Guy killed everyone, so naturally he would not miss this rare opportunity to ask for advice.
"It doesn't matter."
At this time, Guy on the side smiled and shook his head, and said: "Your talent and temperament are both good. At this age, he has reached the third level of extraordinary. He is already extraordinary. In the future, he will understand the 'meaning' and step into the realm of true top masters." , is also big and possible..."
Because of the care provided by Renn, a professional doctor, and after being injected with multiple nutritional medicines, he is now in a good mental state. The muscles have also recovered to about half.
Although it still looks very thin, it is much stronger than the previous skeleton ghost.
"Senior is so complimentary..."
Hearing this, Gannicus was not only unhappy, but also became more humble.
If he had heard this before, he would have felt proud and complacent.
At this age, he has advanced to the third level of transcendence and has truly entered the realm of high-level transcendence, not to mention being the leader among his peers. Even if we look at the two great empires, few can compare.
It deserves to be praised as "genius".
But now, he felt that he was still very far away.
Thinking of this, Gannix's eyes unconsciously fell on the meditating figure on the sand dunes in the distance.
They are both at the third level, but that one is much more powerful than me.
There, colorful poisonous mist filled the air again, and lightning surged.
Just for meditating and practicing, this vision is extremely scary.
Ganix sighed with emotion, and murmured: "Mr. Ren's practice is really getting more and more dangerous... This is just practice, we are in danger even if we get close. If we really want to fight, then How powerful is it?"
Guy also looked over, with deep eyes, and said slowly: "His current path of cultivation is indeed not simple. If you really have to use all your means, not to mention the third-level extraordinary, the ordinary fourth-level extraordinary will have to suffer a big loss. And that one Thunderbird didn't realize how powerful it was before, but now that I see it, I'm afraid it has a lot of background."
Hearing this, even Catherine, who knew Ren's details, was shocked by Ren's strength. During this hunting trip, the Lord of the "Black Dragon City" gave her too many surprises.
... .
On the dunes.
After meditating for a long time, Ren slowly exhaled a breath of foul air after waking up.
He opened his eyes and looked at the palm of his left hand, which was overflowing with colorful poisonous gas. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "This [Void Poisonous Hand] is really a new secret method."
You don't know if you don't practice, but once you practice, he feels more and more that this poisonous palm is really powerful, and it is the only method for Yin people.
The strength can directly penetrate the body-protecting fighting energy outside the body and force the poisonous energy into the enemy's internal body.
This was originally a magical skill in the "Fighter" sequence that was comparable to [Mysterious Art: Sky Divine Strike]. Unfortunately, getting started is a big problem.
Not to mention fighters, even ordinary "poison warlocks" may not be able to master it.
For fighters, the poison resistance is not enough, so they dare not try strong poisons, and it is useless to practice them; for warlocks, the strength is not enough, the palm strength is not enough, and the damage is limited.
But for Renne, it was just right.
His extraordinary sequence of "combat doctor" combines super high poison resistance and strength.
This is simply a "professional skill" tailor-made for him.
Moreover, the great thing about this secret method is its "growability". The more powerful the poison, the stronger the poison palm, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.
... ..
As I was thinking about it, a strange scream rang out.
When Ren came back to his senses, he knew it was time to feed the little thing that flew back and landed on top of his head.
The sound of "pickup" is not clear at all, it is just the "crackling" sound of high-voltage electricity hitting the wire.
As a conditioned reflex, Ren took out the glass jar containing the thunderbolts. The little thing skillfully stepped on a few thunderbolts and swallowed them whole in his mouth.
Watching the bird eating, Ren's eyes were full of joy at finding the treasure, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Now it seems that luring this stupid bird out is still very useful.
It can not only improve the efficiency of Dou Qi practice like [Thunder Totem], but more importantly, when running "Thunder God Art", the dark attribute thunder and lightning it releases can actually stimulate muscle growth!
This is an accurate result obtained from precise monitoring of the system for more than a month.
Science in previous lives has proven that muscle growth can be promoted by external stimulation of bioelectricity production in the body.
There are no such high-tech instruments in this world, but I didn't expect that this "pickup truck" would actually have this function.
Gangxian [Hercules Jue] is an internal stimulus, and now there is an external stimulus. With a two-pronged approach, Renn's power is now growing extremely fast.
He originally planned to reach the "Divine Power Realm" in a few months, but he achieved it in just one month, and his power increased dramatically.
Now that he is running the exercises, the skin on his body has begun to overflow with a light golden luster, reaching the level where he can officially practice the twelve body training diagrams of the "Shen Gang Realm".
With the help of this divine bird, he might be able to reach the "Godly Realm" without reaching the fifth level of extraordinary!
The key is that although this guy is greedy, he can't finish all the thunder that overflowed from the glass jar.
Easy to raise.
... .
On the sand dune, Ren looked at the time and just thought: "Counting the time, Canossa and the others should be arriving soon..."
And coincidentally, there was a burst of dust rising from the yellow sand not far away.
Look at the flag hanging in the team, it is the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce"!
Canossa's team arrived as promised.
