Chapter 53 - Detector
The person who was rushing towards Mike was the girl he had saved previously, Lilian.
Currently, there was a detector in her hand.
This detector had only one purpose, and that was to detect her necklace.
The same necklace that had been snatched by Mike.
Therefore, the more she rushed towards Mike, the pulsing on the detector in her hand became more obvious.
“Damn it, I must find you. How dare you steal from me? I will make you pay!” Lilian’s eyes narrowed as she thought to herself.
From her angry look, it was obvious that she was dissatisfied with the fact that Mike had taken her necklace away.
After all, her necklace was the key to subduing the ancient Fierce Beast.
Without it, she would not be able to subdue the Fierce Beast Egg with the bloodline of the ancient Fierce Beast.
If she didn’t open the Fierce Beast Egg, then her family…
At the thought of this, she became even more anxious.
At the same time, Lilian quickened her pace at the thought that she would soon meet the person who had stolen her necklace.
“We’re here!”
When the red light of the detector in her hand stopped pulsing, she knew that the person who had stolen her necklace was nearby.
However, even after looking around, she still did not find anyone there.
“That’s really strange. The detector shows that it’s here.”
Just as she was talking to herself, the chirping of a small black colored bird attracted her attention
Although this black sparrow-like creature did not look very eye-catching, it had an aura of mystery.
What was this?
Without allowing her any further thought, the black sparrow flapped its wings and flew away.
Following the direction that it was moving, Lilian quickly discovered that the little sparrow had flown to a grassy area underneath the shade of a tree.
There lying in the undergrowth was the figure of a person.
Lilian looked carefully and quickly recognized that this person was Mike.
She could see that her necklace was still hanging around his neck.
Upon seeing this, Lilian’s eyebrows slanted in anger.
However, before she could question him, an ear-piercing sound came from the surrounding grass.
Hiss!
Rip!
The creature that had made the sound was a Fierce Beast called the Iron-Toothed Rat.
Although these Fierce Beasts were not high-level, only at the level of a Normal 4-Star, they always came in a dense pack.
The lowest estimate was that there were at least 500 to 600 of them.
In addition, the characteristics of the Iron-Toothed Rat were that their teeth were sharp and hard. Anyone who received even one bite from them would have at least a piece of their flesh bitten off.
If one were to be even slightly careless when facing the Iron-Toothed Rat, they would receive quite a lot of damage.
This was because, if the target being attacked by these Iron-Toothed Rats got injured, it would cause them to go berserk, causing their attacks to become even crazier.
This characteristic wasn’t a terrifying characteristic for the Wind Sparrow that was hovering in the air.
After all, it was hovering in the sky and wouldn’t be attacked by the Fierce Beasts on the ground.
However, for Lilian’s pet, the Vajra Monkey, there was still a lot of pressure.
Lilian began to prepare to fight these Fierce Beasts.
Mike, who was off to the side, was woken up by these annoying sounds.
“Ha.”
Mike yawned and rubbed his hazy eyes as he struggled to wake up.
Then, he saw Lilian beside him.
He said in surprise, “Huh? Why are you here?”
“Hmph, why can’t I be here?”Lilian retorted.
Hearing this, Mike did not pay any further attention to her. He did not know what was wrong with her, for she seemed to be in such a bad temper.
Immediately after, he stood up and looked around. He noticed that there were many Iron-Toothed Rats on the ground.
This discovery made his eyes light up.
These were all Experience Points.
He had not expected that the moment he woke up, Experience Points would come knocking on his door.
The Wind-Cloud Sparrow had eaten a lot of insects earlier. So, its level had already reached the level of a Normal 4-Star.
Moreover, it had just unlocked its first skill, Wind Blade.
This was a good opportunity to see its effects.
Under Lilian’s puzzled expression, Mike immediately gave the Wind-Cloud Sparrow an order.
“Wind Blade!”
After flapping its wings a few times in the sky, several sharp green Wind Blades exploded from the Wind-Cloud Sparrow.
These Wind Blades were extremely fast. Almost instantly, they cut into the bodies of a few Iron-Toothed Rats.
These Iron-Toothed Rats were instantly killed!
“Ding, your pet Wind Sparrow has successfully killed an Iron-Toothed Rat. 4 experience points have been obtained.”
“Ding, your pet Wind Sparrow has successfully killed an Iron-Toothed Rat. 4 experience points have been obtained.”
“Ding, your pet Wind Sparrow has successfully killed an Iron-Toothed Rat. 4 experience points have been obtained.”
The Experience Points soared once again.
…
Upon seeing this scene, Lilian was dumbfounded. She stood rooted to the ground, completely forgetting why she was here.
It was known that her Vajra Monkey was a Rare 9-Star Pet Beast.
Although the Vajra Monkey could also kill an Iron-Toothed Rat in one move, it definitely could not do so with such accuracy.
The opponent’s Fierce Beast could actually compress the Wind Elemental energy in the air into such a condensed form.
This wasn’t something that an ordinary Pet Beast could do.
What kind of monster was this little sparrow?
Although its level was ordinary, its growth potential was definitely far beyond the ordinary level.
Only a Pet Beast with high growth potential could release such a powerful attack when its level was low.
Even Mike was slightly stunned at witnessing, let alone Lilian.
This kind of attack speed and strength also made Mike quite happy.
However, what Mike saw was completely different from Lilian’s.
Under the communication of the Soul Seal, he found that his Wind-Cloud Sparrow did not expend much energy in the process of attacking.
Moreover, the most important thing was that in this area, when the Wind-Cloud Sparrow released the Wind Blade, the elemental fluctuations in the air actually had a buffing effect on its attack.
In other words, not only did the Wind Sparrow’s attack not consume any magic power, but it also had the effect of twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking of this, Mike directly ordered him to release the attack and kill the remaining Iron-Toothed Rats again.
After a while, a large number of Iron-Toothed Rats’ corpses started to appear on the ground. This caused a small portion of the Iron-Toothed Rats to be scared away.
Under the high-efficiency slaughter of the Wind-Cloud Sparrow, its experience points were full again in less than ten minutes.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host and the Wind-Cloud Sparrow, for successfully leveling up. It has reached 5-Star Normal level.”
After successfully leveling up, the fatigued state of the Wind-Cloud Sparrow had completely disappeared, and its eyes were full of vigor.
If not for the fact that the levels of the Iron-Toothed Rats that they had faced were all at Normal level, Mike would have collected them and fed them to the Green-Eyed White Dragon.
However, the Beast Cores of these Normal level Fierce Beasts were naturally not worthy of the Green-Eyed White dragon’s attention, so he didn’t collect them.
However, these Fierce Beasts would be good as meat.
So under Lilian’s puzzled stare, Mike collected them.
