The Secret Realm of the Underworld!
Dragon Feast Ceremony!
Lu Yu's heart fluttered for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.
For no reason,
Because the conditions were too harsh!
He had read about it in the library and found that the Yellow Springs Ecological Secret Realm did not refer to the mythical Yellow Springs, but rather to a special ecological secret realm, which often represented the fall of a powerful being.
His blood, flesh, bones, and soul, through the wondrous evolution over the long years, will merge into a spring called the Yellow Springs, from which gushes forth highly poisonous water.
Flowing slowly along the secret realm, everything it passes through becomes part of the River of the Underworld.
The aura of death emanating from them attracts a large number of undead and poison-type extraordinary life forms to coexist, creating a unique ecosystem of the dead. Similar ecosystems include the Skull Kingdom and the Hungry Ghost Underworld.
However, the Yellow Springs ecosystem is different. It exists between life and death, and it will regenerate dead beings into beings similar to earthbound spirits to guard the Eye of the Yellow Springs.
If the Eye of the Underworld is powerful enough, it might even be able to transform ancient beings that have died.
However, that level of the Yellow Springs Secret Realm can already be considered a mini-underworld.
It is fraught with danger and can be described as a no-man's land.
The Dragonblood Insect only appears in the Yellow Springs ecosystem where dragons have perished and transformed, and its racial potential is that of a low-level leader among insect-type pets.
They contain a trace of dragon blood and can exhale dragon breath. When they appear in groups, even some top commanders dare not confront them head-on.
Most of the time, they dwell by the edge of the Yellow Springs, drinking the Yellow Springs water to cleanse their souls and purify their blood, waiting for the day they can transform into Yellow Springs Dragon Butterflies.
However, most of them are like moths drawn to a flame, dying from the poison of the underworld.
Putting aside whether he could win or not, if he wanted to devour a group of insects that drink Yellow Spring water year-round, his own pet might get poisoned to death first.
Moreover, the Yellow Springs Secret Realm is a rare and precious opportunity, and the price of related intelligence information is beyond his means. Furthermore, the unheard-of Dragon Feast Ceremony is likely an official secret.
Zhou Cheng said he was thirsty, took a sip of wine, and continued:
"This Yellow Spring Dragon Wolf isn't something I made up. I saw the records from the Special Department. Someone has already successfully bred one. Its attributes are dragon and undead. Its talent skill is [Yellow Spring Funeral], which can summon the waters of the Yellow Springs to kill enemies and corrode their flesh and souls."
Furthermore, there's a chance it will develop Dragon's Might. Even if it has evolved once, it can undergo a perfect transition through the Dragon Offering Ritual. Looking at it this way, isn't this Netherfire Wolfhound full of potential and suitable for building a spiritual puzzle?
Anyone who didn't know better would think you had already prepared the Dragon Blood Worms and the Dragon Feast Ritual, and that you were ready to convert them into a contract.
When it comes to making empty promises, you old hands are the real experts!
If it were a young person, they would probably choose it in a moment of passion.
However, Lu Yu also knew that the other party was doing it for his own good. The other party didn't owe him anything. He was just afraid that Lu Yu would be too ambitious, so he made a promise that Lu Yu could transform into a dragon. In reality, he had planned a route for Lu Yu and arranged a stable growth beast for him.
If they didn't truly care about you, who would care whether you lived or died?
Moreover, Zhou Cheng's meaning was quite clear: by joining the alliance, he could gain access to channels, and with his impeccable political background, there was a high probability that he could successfully apply.
However, Lu Yu possesses the [Eye of Truth], which allows him to develop independently, so he doesn't want to put himself in a shackle.
Moreover, the Hellfire Wolfhound really wouldn't work.
It's not because they lack potential.
Instead, the threat of the Nightmare Beast was a thorn in their side.
Although it is uncertain which type of nightmare beast is attacking, most nightmares do not have a physical body, but appear as mist, moving through the illusory dream world.
They are born with an aura of fear, and can manipulate the dreams of their enemies, amplifying their inner fears to the point of collapse, and then enjoying the souls and consciousness filled with fear.
Once completely consumed, the victim will become an unconscious vegetative state.
While the Netherfire Wolfhound is powerful, its ability can only burn reality; the so-called Netherfire is also highly lethal to flesh and blood.
I can't just set myself on fire and perish together with the Nightmare Beast, can I?
Therefore, Lu Yu prefers to find pets that correspond to the mental, soul, and dream types, or at the very least, pets with skills that can damage the soul.
So he took the initiative to speak up: "Uncle Zhou, I'd like to look at other pets before making a choice." Zhou Cheng nodded upon hearing this, without saying much. As an elder, all he could do was offer advice; ultimately, Lu Yu had to make the choice himself.
So he pointed to the three-eyed crow crouching on the ground in the distance, who was being poked by Akatsuki Meng with a wooden stick and dared not utter a sound of anger, and introduced it:
"This is a Three-Eyed Raven with the potential to become a high-ranking leader, obtained from the extermination of a branch of the Deathbird Cult. It is a Flying and Curse type, and its racial skill is Instant Death Ray, which has a chance to cause instant death, but the stronger the opponent, the lower the probability of triggering it..."
Although it looks cool, its attributes don't match, and things like instant death rays rely too much on probability.
Even one's own Eye of Truth cannot provide a bonus.
And the fact that it could become spoils of war... says a lot!
Its only decent attribute is flight, but because it's too small, it can't carry itself.
They can only be used as scouts!
pass!
"This is a black wolf bird..."
"This is an Ice Scale Serpent..."
Zhou Cheng was tired of explaining, so he simply asked Lu Yu about his general needs, and the answer he received left him somewhat bewildered:
"Mental type, soul type, you really dare to dream... These are rare attributes, basically taken by the higher-ups as soon as they appear. There don't seem to be many with soul-damaging skills either, dream type... wait, wait, there seems to be one!"
Lu Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said, "May I take a look?"
Zhou Cheng hesitated, but still brought up the screen.
The scene depicts a gloomy, rocky cave with numerous interwoven silver spiderwebs surrounding a fist-sized silver cocoon, radiating an ethereal silver halo that appears hazy and unreal.
It's like a bubble in water, easily shattered with a single touch.
Zhou Cheng stroked his stubble, frowned, and said:
"These are spoils of war from the border army when they wiped out the Dream Eater Cult. A notorious cult of madmen who believed that reality was an illusion, and that the dreams woven by an evil god called the Lord of Eternal Dreamland were the real ones. So they sacrificed a large number of human souls and used hundreds of dream-type beasts as a basis to try to create a pet that could open the door between reality and illusion, so that the world could forever return to the dream world and live forever together."
However, thanks to a timely tip-off from an informant, the ceremony was discovered and wiped out by the army halfway through. But due to fierce resistance, only a few spoils remained. Most of them were handed over, and only this one, which had been inspected and found to be without major problems, was left here.
Named the Dream Spider, its racial potential is that of a high-ranking leader. It feeds on the dreams of intelligent beings and is skilled at weaving dreams. Its racial skill is [Dream Weaving], which can weave a defensive net in its master's dream to prevent attacks from some nightmare-type pets.
This ability is somewhat lackluster; it's purely defensive, not a barrier, and far inferior to the [Dream Eater] skill, which has a special attack against Nightmare-type monsters. Even a Commander-level Nightmare would have to turn and run when encountering a Servant-level Dream Eater-type Beast. In battle, [Dream Eater] can also forcibly devour dreams, severely damaging the enemy's spirit.
However, unlike the ferocious appearance of ordinary spiders, the Dream Spider looks quite cute. Many girls like to keep it as a pet to weave beautiful dreams for themselves. Its combat power is not strong and its body is very fragile. If it cannot enter the dream world, its only means of attack is to create illusions, but it is not very useful against opponents with strong wills.
Especially since it's still uncertain whether this one has been contaminated and we'll have to observe it after it's born, I don't recommend you choose this one. After all, not many unlucky people will encounter a Nightmare-type pet...
Sorry,
I'm the unlucky one!
Although he was being mocked in an unspoken way, Lu Yu didn't care and kept his eyes fixed on the spider's egg sac.
Although it's not the [Dream Eater] trait he desires most, it can weave a defensive net for dreams, protecting against nightmare attacks!
But that's enough!
At least you won't be helpless against nightmares.
Moreover, after signing the contract, you can unlock the Secret Food Inheritance. Considering that you can create the [Around Vision] skill Secret Food before, you might also be able to make the [Dream Eater] Secret Food!
Wouldn't that solve the nightmare?
They could even capture nightmares, turn them into secret food for skills, and acquire nightmare skills!
With the help of the Eye of Truth, Lu Yu is confident that he can research the most perfect evolutionary path, and there is a chance that the terrifying monster that the Dream Eater Cult has been dreaming of, which can truly reverse the illusion and reality, will be born.
Step by step, develop the ability to create things from the void and steal the authority that belongs to the creator!
Besides, how could illusion-based abilities be weak?
I, Mirror Flower Water Moon, am the first to disagree!
If one could develop the ability to dream to its fullest extent, one could influence reality through illusory dreams.
For example, if injuries in dreams can be reflected in reality, then is it possible to perfectly reflect the training effects in dreams in reality?
Create a dream training camp!
Wouldn't that mean the beast tamers could train in their dreams?
With a little effort, perhaps a thousand-year dream can be realized, and the beast tamer's companions will be wiped out.
The capitalists are ecstatic!
Since that's the case, I've decided on you.
Dream Spider!
