Chapter 5
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ever since then, Fang Yuan had been killing the demonized sparrow every day.
He finally understood why this place was called ten mile slope. This was definitely the rhythm that would allow him to become the sword G.o.d of ten mile slope!
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day… the 100th day.
He could not kill all of them. There was no way he could kill all of them.
Even with the combination of roaring, sharp claws, biting, and concealing his aura, Xiao Ying was getting more and more proficient.
Its killing speed against a single demonized sparrow was also getting faster and faster.
But you couldn't handle its large numbers.
It seemed like it was going to gather all the demonized sparrows in the world here.
Just as he was feeling hopeless, a white light flashed on the body of Shadow Wolf. It had leveled up.
[Ding. Host's pet shadow wolf detected. It has evolved to the primary level two.]
5
[Pet skill, ‘sharp claws', has been upgraded.]
[Proceed to increase strength by 100 times?]
It came just in time.
Pet beasts were divided into one to nine levels. Below each level, there were basic, intermediate, advanced, and peak levels.
Every time a large level was upgraded, pet beasts and trainers would receive extraordinary rewards. Like this time, Xiao Ying's reward was the upgrade of his skill.
[Host can choose from the following ways to increase it.]
[First, give up the 100 times increase, obtain the skill ‘shadow strike'.]
1
[Second, increase the strength by 100 times, obtain the skill ‘powerful shadow strike'.]
[Third, increase the range by 100 times, obtain the skill ‘multiple shadow strike'.]
2
Fang Yuan immediately chose the last one.
2
According to the knowledge of his predecessor, he knew that the skill ‘Shadow Strike', as the name implied, was to transform into a phantom and launch a surprise attack.
It could deal 60% to 80% of the effect of a normal attack on a small area of effect enemy.
3
It was a area of effect attack, not a skill that dealt critical damage.
The amplification did not have much meaning, so the amplification range was the best use of the advantage.
Previously, all the skills of Shadow Wolf were single-target attacks.
Now that he had [multiple shadow strike], it greatly increased the speed of clearing the area.
Fang Yuan himself had also obtained a trainer skill called [perception]. After a hundred times amplification, it was strengthened into [weakness insight].
2
He could see the weakness of the pet beast.
1
It was a very useful skill, but it was not useful yet.
2
"Xiao Ying! [multiple shadow strikes]!"
3
Fang Yuan gave the order, and Shadow Wolf's figure quickly sped up. In just a few flashes, it had already arrived behind a few demonized sparrows.
As its movement speed was too fast, the afterimages of thousands and thousands of wolves could be seen with the naked eye.
As thousands and thousands of cold rays pierced out, all the demonized sparrows fell to the ground. The ground was covered with the flesh and blood of the bird carca.s.ses.
Looking around, there were actually hundreds of them.
"Looks like the experience points that we can farm in the beginner village have been cleared."
Looking closely, the demonized sparrows leader that had commanded the sparrows earlier was also killed by Shadow Wolf's shadow attack skill.
"What a waste. I have wanted to capture it to see its quality."
After all, this was the leader of the demonized sparrows.
Its quality might be quite high.
But now that it was taken away by Xiao Ying in one wave, it was too late.
"You b*stard."
Fang Yuan looked at Xiao
Indeed.
Shadow Wolf's positioning was actually a surprise a.s.sa.s.sin.
It was used to kill the enemy in one hit.
But if he wanted to use the contract gem to capture a new pet, it had to at least leave one alive.
After a hundred days of special training, Fang Yuan realized that the most important thing now was to get a pet with a strong control skill as soon as possible, before leaving Ten Mile Slope.

Fang Yuan did a simple cleaning of the battlefield. The meat of the demonized sparrow could be dried and pickled as the food next.
1
He even found a tier one red magic core in the head of the leader sparrow.
This kind of thing would occasionally appear on the demonized wild pet.
It was better material used for making weapons, defensive equipment, accessories, and so on.
It also had a 100-fold amplification notification.
Fang Yuan chose the latter between 100 tier one mana cores and one tier two mana core.
The main reason was that he couldn't carry so many spoils of war.
3
There was no map in the arcane realm.
So he could only explore according to his own judgment.
In the adventure in the jungle, there was one thing that couldn't be wrong, which was to follow the direction of the river.
Water was the source of life.
The direction of the river led to the birthplace of life.
And there was one more thing.
The bull horn water bag on his body had long been empty, and he could not leave the water source for too long.
Unlike many sons of n.o.ble families, Fang Yuan had very limited number of pets and functions.
1
He could only take things one step at a time.
Fang Yuan explored the depths of the jungle, and he walked very carefully.
He remembered very clearly.
When he was fighting with the demonized sparrows on the Ten Mile Slope, the leader at that time seemed to be very afraid of this forest. When he was chasing after Shadow Wolf, he was unwilling to come to this dense forest.
Presumably, there must be something terrifying hidden in it.
Even the demonized beasts would feel a great terror.
He didn't go too far.
They could clearly feel that the ground beneath their feet was becoming wetter and wetter.
The mosquitoes, insects, and ants around their feet were also becoming more and more.
Fang Yuan's footsteps slowed down.
From Afar, he could see an indigo-purple swamp in front of him. It seemed to be filled with danger, and the swamp was crawling with countless terrifying creatures.
The toad wanted to eat the gecko.
The centipede wanted to eat the toad.
The scorpion wanted to eat the centipede.
The poisonous snake wanted to eat the scorpion.
It was like a mantis catching the cicada, but the oriole was behind.
3
In short, in this swamp ecosystem, all the poisonous insects and beasts were fighting each other for survival.
1
The cruel natural war in the swamp lasted for a long time.
It didn't happen overnight.
It could be said that Fang Yuan's luck was really good.
When he came, he just happened to watch the end of the war.
A small purple-red spider, looking extremely thin, finally came out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
It stood above millions of creatures.
4
One could imagine that it was the leader of all poisons.
However, this cruel war also exhausted its strength. It was exhausted and on the verge of death.
It watched Fang Yuan walk over.
He had a bottle of stamina mixture in his left hand and a piece of devil sparrow dried meat in his right hand.
It seemed to see the hope of life.
The purple-red spider's gaze fell on Fang Yuan.
Shadow Wolf sensed the dangerous aura and silently stood in front of its master.
Fang Yuan knew this spider.
Because its name had appeared in the textbook before.
Fang Yuan still remembered it clearly. The t.i.tle of that chapter was "The Creature You Must Avoid Immediately in the Arcane Realm".
3
Scientific name: Iris spider.
Iris was the name of a flower. This flower was violet in color.
It was the same color as the body of this spider.
The name of the spider was quite pleasant, but its poison was quite terrible. A small drop of its venom on its web could poison a Spanish bull in its prime.
It was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by such a thing.
