Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That afternoon, once they had lunch, the three friends trained their pets together and then returned home to find their mothers.

Su Bai also paid attention to the information about the game. In fact, he had long foreseen the situation that Chen Rouxue mentioned.

In response to this situation, he of course had a solution.

After separating with the two, he visited a shop specializing in skill jade in the Spirit Market.

“Do you have any wood-attribute detection skills?” he asked. The one watching the store was a middle-aged woman in a cheongsam; a blue-white spirit cat was beside her.

“We only have four wood-attribute detection skill jade here. They’re all relatively good. Take a look at the shelf.”

The woman lazily introduced, seemingly very tired.

Nodding, he went to look at the four skill jade stones on the shelf. They were all dark green and looked like emeralds.

There was a skill introduction on their nameplates.

The first one was Vegetation Sensing. Activating this skill could mark vegetation within a certain range and sense the proximity of other existences. The range of use related to the strength of a pet.

The second one was called Flowing Firefly, which condensed special fireflies using spiritual power and spread them around the area. This skill let one sense the rhythm of life in the area where the fireflies were.

The third one was Fragrance of Flowers, which collected the essence of flowers into a pet’s body. Activating this skill could allow it to detect the situation by using the flowers in the vicinity as mediums.

The fourth one was Forest’s Rhythm, which could let one sense a plant’s rhythm by blending spiritual power into it and listening to enemy’s movements.

Of these four, Su Bai noted that the first two were priced at 30,000 yuan, while the last two were at 60,000 yuan.

They were all elementary skills. The difference was that the last two had growth potential, while the first two did not. However, the first two were easier to learn.

He first gave up on Fragrance of Flowers because it would take too much time to collect the essence of various flowers. He also gave up on Flowing Fireflies; using it would reveal to opponents that someone was tracking them.

His only choices were Vegetation Sensing and Forest’s Rhythm.

Forest’s Rhythm was actually better. Not only did it have advanced abilities, practicing this skill well would eventually lead to mastering wood control within the spirit field.

“Okay, I’ll buy both Forest’s Rhythm and Vegetation Sensing. Please wrap them up for me.”

After a little hesitation, Su Bai finally came to a decision. He decided to believe in Purple Jade. With its ultra high wood element affinity, it should be able to comprehend these two skills in three days.

It was best if it could comprehend both; still, he was confident that the cub would be able to comprehend Vegetation Sensing no matter what.

“Okay.” The woman in cheongsam nodded and took out two exquisite small boxes. She placed the skill jade inside and packaged both into a beautiful bag.

Su Bai paid the lady and went home with his purchase.

The items cost him 90,000 yuan, which meant that over half the money he had was spent.

“Howl?”

The cub poked its head out of the bag.

“That’s right; these are for you. You have to practice the new skills and learn them in three days. Otherwise, we might lose the competition. If we lose, you will not only have no money to buy a tablet but won’t be able to buy food, either.”

“Howl! <(ˉ^ˉ)>”

“Don’t worry; we’ll get up early to practice in the grove tomorrow morning. Let’s go home and rest first.”

...

“Dear viewers, I’m taking you to explore a small space crack in the giant forest. Yes, it’s the giant forest with trees above 500 meters.

“What? You’ve seen it before? You’re tired of it? Today, I will take you to a site, which has only recently appeared.

“It’s said to be the tomb of a giant monster, the ‘Kraken’, which has since disappeared. I might even find a Kraken egg here and hatch a super gigantic monster. Let’s wait and see!”

Fang Laoba live-streamed while he walked into the ruins. The anchor entered a space crack, looking like an ant that had come to a primitive forest. Before a giant tree of over 500 meters, humans would really be similar to ants.

“Is it the Kraken? Oh, my God! It’s extinct. I’m crying...”

“What the f*ck! I’ve heard of that monster before. It’s said that the monster can become extremely powerful and advance just by swallowing incessantly. Some people even said that there might be some super gigantic Krakens in the space crack. It has a terrifying power alike swallowing asteroids.”

“Be careful, anchor. The Kraken is supposedly very powerful. There might be some undead species in the tomb; be careful that you don’t get swallowed whole.”

“Good luck, anchor. If you find the Kraken, I’ll buy it for five million yuan, dead or alive.”

“Five million? I’ll pay ten million...”

...

“Hello, everyone! Right in front of me is the Kraken’s tomb. Do you see the cone-shaped hill that’s protruding from the ground? It’s said to be the small beard of an earth-based, mountain-eating giant Kraken. My goal today is inside it.

“According to investigators, it’s very likely to have turned into a special Kraken after death. Later, the little ones of its kind ate and reproduced here, and they all died for some reason...”

“Oh, my God. That mountain is more than 200 meters, isn’t it? It’s actually a Kraken’s beard? Wow!”

“By the way, does a Kraken look like a catfish or a blue whale?”

“It could be a combination of the two!”

“Brothers, I went in, and now I’m inside. It looks complicated here, like an underground palace. I have to focus on the road in front of me. There are still a lot of monsters inside, so I’ll speak fewer...”

On the screen, the anchor Fang Laoba walked deeper inside and wiped out several monsters. He got lost several times and finally came to a cave with numerous giant stone eggs.

“Oh, my God! Guys, these are the Kraken’s eggs. Let me send my pet to see if there are any eggs still alive.”

He checked them one by one and found a big egg with some vital signs.

“What the f*ck, brothers! We’re rich. If this egg is cultivated, I’ll rise up in power. Oh, my God... There’s still a live Kraken species here... What the f*ck—”

At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the video, then the entire screen went black with a bang.

“???”

“He’s really the chosen son of live streaming. Congratulations to the anchor for dying a second time!”

“Sh*t! This livestream effect is amazing; just quite sad to see him lose his life...”

“Guys, let us subscribe, send rewards, and walk away... Crying...”

...

After watching this video, Su Bai was also very shocked. Fang Laoba went on the hot search again, and his live broadcast exploded anew. At this time, they did not know whether he was still alive or dead. He was really the chosen son of live streaming.

“The Kraken is an impressive monster, but it’s a pity that the current one isn’t qualified to enter the monster wilderness and space cracks. As expected, this world is full of wonders.”

Su Bai stretched lazily. It would be really cool to contract a large monster like the Kraken, but it seemed that that species had disappeared, and no one had seen it.

Maybe they were too terrifying, so the Spirit Alliance had hidden them as strategic weapons?

He would have to obtain a professional Pet Tamer license to understand these things.
