Pet Simulator

Chapter 59: Mysterious Person of the Final Stage

“These strange gods are too weak!” Wang Ye kicked away a song demon that had already been defeated by Xiao Jiu.

They had indeed encountered strange gods in the fourth stage.

From the aura he felt before, Wang Ye already knew.

If these strange gods had been outside, they would have been stronger than those fierce beasts.

Unfortunately for them, they just had to encounter Xiao Jiu.

With a combination of Strange God Nemesis and Skyful of Feathers, especially when facing strange gods like the song demon, it was basically a piece of cake for Xiao Jiu.

It was even easier for the green sparrow to clear this stage compared to the previous stage with a group of frost mammoths.

What attracted Wang Ye’s attention was that there was another low-level strange god here, the scarlet raccoon dog ghost.

This was a humanoid strange god that looked like a bear that stood and walked on its two feet. Its fur was scarlet red, and it was intelligent.

The strange power possessed by the scarlet raccoon dog ghost was said to be an endless amount of physical strength.

As long as they weren’t killed, they would be able to keep fighting.

It was extremely ridiculous.

Other than that, they also controlled the power of fire and could absorb the flames of Heaven and Earth for their own use.

“According to the records in the diary, the scarlet raccoon dog ghost doesn’t have any major weaknesses. It’s a type of low-level strange god that’s very difficult to deal with. It doesn’t take any other damage and restraining effects from pets other than light-type pets. When other attributed skills hit it, the effects will be greatly reduced.”

However, with the support of the purple characteristic Strange God Nemesis and triggering the profoundness effect by continuously using Feather Cut, Xiao Jiu still managed to instantly kill the opponent.

“Although the probability of triggering profoundness isn’t low, it doesn’t feel stable enough.”

After the strange gods were all killed, Wang Ye began to rest and organize his spoils of war, “However, Feather Cut has only just reached the peak mastery realm. The reason why there is only a chance of triggering profoundness is that Xiao Jiu isn’t proficient enough in its mastery of the profoundness effect.”

“Above the peak mastery realm, there’s the mysterious realm of enlightenment. When it gets close to this realm, Xiao Jiu should then be able to perfectly grasp the profoundness effect of Feather Cut, and be in a place where it can unleash the skill from the heart as it pleases. By then, it should be able to freely use the profoundness effect of the skill, I think.”

But judging from Xiao Jiu’s current situation, if it didn’t evolve, then the peak mastery realm should be Feather Cut’s limit.

After all, Xiao Jiu’s intelligence didn’t allow it to cultivate its skill to a higher realm.

If he were to train Feather Cut in the simulations now, hundred years of proficiency would basically be equivalent to nothing.

The progress bar for its skill proficiency wouldn’t budge at all.

It was exactly the same for the great success realm Sky-dance.

“Speaking of which, these strange gods seem to… really exist,” Wang Ye collected the strange cores dropped by the strange gods after they transformed into the dark fog, feeling a little puzzled, “There shouldn’t be any strange gods in the relic.”

Strange gods posed too much of a threat to pets and Beastmasters.

If Xiao Jiu didn’t have the Strange God Nemesis characteristic, Wang Ye didn’t have much confidence in being able to kill these five strange gods. He estimated that he would run away with just a glance.

If Xiao Jiu were to fight them head-on without the purple characteristic, its life would be in danger.

“If other Beastmasters were to face them…” Wang Ye’s body trembled.

Wouldn’t they just be dead?

Of course, judging from the first two stages, there probably wouldn’t be many who could reach the fourth stage… Rather, maybe it was just him.

“Still, there seems to be a huge problem with the difficulty of this relic.”

After thinking for a while, Wang Ye decided to continue moving forward to take a look.

After resting for a few more hours, he brought Xiao Jiu and continued moving forward.

This time, the surrounding space gradually changed.

Scarlet red trees began to appear before his eyes.

“This is… The flame tung tree?”

Only at this point did the surrounding scene seem to be real.

The flame tung tree was also called the flame parasol tree. It was an extremely rare tree. It was rumored that birds with the fire phoenix bloodline liked to live on this type of tree. At the same time, the flame tung trees would evolve into spiritual trees as they were affected by the fire phoenix bloodline.

“Looks like I should be able to meet the soul fire of the crimson flame phoenix soon… I wonder what the fifth stage will be about? The first few stages are so difficult… Should I run a simulation for the last one?”

At the same time, in the outside world.

“What? Strange gods?” Lu Daying listened to his disciple’s explanation and was immediately shocked, “The opponents at the fourth stage are strange gods? Is that true?”

“It’s true,” Lu Wanqing said helplessly, “After I cleared the third stage, I encountered strange gods. Moreover, there were two of them. I was not confident in dealing with them, so I could only forfeit from the relic.”

“Something’s wrong,” Lu Daying and the others looked at each other, their faces solemn.

“There has never been a strange god in the Yihuang Forest, and the difficulty this time is too ridiculous,” He Xiong said in a deep voice, “I can understand that the difficulty for the stages is high. After all, there may be some prodigies from Qixing City who went in on the pretense of the county quotas. They probably used some special methods to temporarily disguise their pet’s identity and strength to enter the relic. If the rules of the relic sense an unusual pet aura, it will increase the difficulty.”

In simple terms, some level 3 or level 4 pets would suppress their strength to level 2, allowing them to escape their pre-inspection before entering the relic.

However, the rules of the relic were such that those who could enter should not be over level 2.

They might be able to evade their inspection, but they wouldn’t be able to escape the rules of the relic.

Once the relic sensed the aura of a level 3 pet or a powerful Beastmaster, it would increase the difficulty of the stages.

Such a situation had happened before.

“However, it’s impossible for a strange god to appear in the Yihuang Forest! This is an ancient beast relic, not a secret realm!” He Xiong looked at Lu Daying, “What should we do now?”

“Go and check, how many people are still in the relic? Who disguised themselves and went in?” Lu Daying waved his hand, “Let’s see who else is in there.”

Not long after, someone reported, “Dojo Master Lu, there should still be three people in the relic.”

“Which three?”

“Tang Quan from Nanjiang County, Zhou Xing from Yaoguang University, and Wang Ye from Anping County.”

“Wang Ye is from our county. There shouldn’t be any problems with him,” Lin Rou said, “Zhou Xing is from Yaoguang University. He is also sponsored by Mingguang Enterprise. His strength and potential are both quite good. There shouldn’t be a problem with him either. As for Tang Quan…”

Lu Daying’s face sank. He thought for a moment, “Could he be from the Tang Family of Qixing City? Among the prodigies of Qixing University, there are quite a few with the surname Tang. A level three pet… What does this guy want from the Yihuang Forest?”

Lin Rou was silent for a moment, “The most important thing now is, what is going on with the appearance of those strange gods?”

Everyone fell silent.

—

“There’s still one last stage. Just to be safe, I should let Xiao Jiu run a reality simulation,” Wang Ye muttered to himself and decided to give it a try.

The first three stages were acceptable, but the strange gods in the fourth stage gave him a feeling that something wasn’t right.

Thinking back to the dark fog eruption that was soon to come in Anping County…

[The reality simulation begins. Information loading…]

[You and your Beastmaster have passed the fourth stage and continue moving forward. Soon, you encounter a sea of flames. In front of the sea of flames is a huge scarlet tung tree. That seems to be the end of the relic.]

[You begin to forcefully cross the sea of flames. In order to protect your Beastmaster from safely crossing the sea of flames, you’re almost cooked. After doing so, you’re on your last breath. ]

[The two of you thought that after crossing the sea of flames, you would be able to obtain the soul fire. But when you approached the scarlet tung tree, a mysterious man dressed in black who was wearing a mask appeared from behind with his pet.]

[In the battle with the other party, you discovered that the other party had a level 3 pet. Due to being heavily injured in the sea of flames, you were easily killed by the other party. Both of you died.]

[The simulation has ended. The survival time is too short, so there are no rewards.]

“?” When the simulation ended, Wang Ye was still in a daze.
