Unorthodox Beast Control

Chapter 277 Nightmare, Thrilling

Knowing that he could not persuade Xu Ran and his party to give up the idea of ​​exploring that thundering land, the Dihuxiong leader simply gave up the persuasion.

After sending his most sincere blessings, it watched in silence as one person and three pets set off.

The commander-level ones will fall into that terrible dream, but the stronger general-level ones may not be like this.

They will return safely.

It wasn't until Xu Ran and the three little ones disappeared from its sight that the leader of the raccoon clan slowly turned around and looked at his people.

"Lu~"

It's late at night and it's time for us to sleep.

Each raccoon in the raccoon group nodded obediently, and then each returned to their own cave to sleep.

Soon, this raccoon habitat became empty again.

On the other side, among the raccoon group in Farewell, Xu Ran and the three little ones quickly arrived at the location where the thunder was hidden deep in the ground as detected by Cancan.

They haven't gone deep underground yet and are still on the ground at this moment.

According to Cancan's introduction, the underground location where the thunder was heard was right under their feet, at a depth of more than five thousand meters from the ground.

And once again, Cancan sensed a powerful aura near the sound of thunder, as expected.

Combined with the experience of the raccoon clan leader's exploration, there is no doubt that there is a guardian in that thundering place.

Therefore, One Person and Three Favors have no immediate plans to dive.

They need a better plan.

"According to the Di Raccoon Patriarch, the nightmare it fell into should be the ability of that very powerful guardian." Xu Ran analyzed, "And the other party should not have too much malice, otherwise the Di Raccoon Patriarch would not be able to retreat. You can get out of it in a few steps.”

"Xilu~" (If this is the case, leave it to me!)

Xingchen nodded slightly, and the starlight flickered slightly on the horn on his forehead.

Nightmares and illusions should have similar powers, and both belong to the category of super powers.

Moreover, after Eternal Star Yin was promoted to a three-star skill to repel star rings, it also had the ability to dispel negative effects, and the range it could resolve was even wider.

So, if the guardian's ability is just to plunge people into nightmares, it may be able to use its own power to render it ineffective!

"Indeed, with your repulsive star ring, our success will be much greater this time." Xu Ran smiled.

The reason why he insisted on coming here to explore after knowing the experience of the Earth Raccoon Clan Leader was because he thought that Xingchen's ability had a certain restraining effect on him.

"Can you feel the specific strength of that guardian?" Xu Ran turned to look at Cancan and asked.

"Cha~" (Maybe there's no way to do it...)

Cancan shook his head slightly, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

It's not that I can't, but I don't dare.

The power of earth pulse sound detection can be easily detected by living creatures.

After all, it relies on vibration.

In the past, when detecting Thunder and Guardian, Cancan always used a few clues to detect them at the very edge of the detection range. Only in this way would they be less likely to be discovered.

Cancan can use the power of the ringing of the earth's veins to detect the specific strength of the guardian below, but once he detects it, the guardian must also be aware of the power of the detection. In this way, it will be a warning.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded clearly, and then touched Cancan's head, "It's good. Cancan has also become mature and not so reckless."

"Cha~"

Cancan lowered his head in embarrassment.

The last time it went out to explore the city, it didn't expect so much. If the more thoughtful Xingxing hadn't reminded it, it might have gone closer to explore.

So this compliment makes him feel well-deserved.

"In this case, we have to proceed with caution." A thoughtful look appeared on Xu Ran's face, and he speculated based on the experience of the Di Raccoon Clan leader, "The guardian's protection should be within a certain range."

"If you enter that range, you will be attacked by it and fall into a nightmare."

Speaking of this, Xu Ran had a look of helplessness on his face, "Originally, the best way would have been for everyone to keep some distance from each other. The ones in front would fall into a nightmare, and those behind could pull it out of range."

"But...we are able to sneak into the underground because of Cancan's Youtuhuatang." Xu Ran glanced at Cancan, "So we can only act together underground."

"Cha~" (That's all it can do.)

Cancan spread his paws helplessly.

Youtu Huatang gives the creatures the ability to dive underground, and they must be in contact with each other. Once separated, the power given will no longer exist.

And once the ability to sneak into the ground is gone, one person and two pets who are not earth elements will not be able to move. It would be too dangerous.

I just hope that when I reach a higher star level or proficiency level, this problem can be solved.

"Let's set out together and move slower." Xu Ran took a deep breath and said, "We are getting closer to the land of thunder, and the star's repelling star ring is fully activated."

"If there is any sign of trouble, stop immediately, observe the situation, and then consider what countermeasures to use."

"Also." Xu Ran glanced at Zi Yun, "Before Zi Yun dived, he left an afterimage on the ground."

"In this way, you can use the electric shock to leave traces to return at any time, just in case."

"Meow~" (There is no such possibility!)

Zi Yun shook his head and spoke unwillingly.

Even if it is really in danger, it will not do this!

After all, it was the only one returning, which was equivalent to leaving Xu Ran and the other two little ones behind.

No matter what kind of opponent it faces, it will never do this!

"I'm just worried that something unexpected will happen." Seeing Zi Yun's expression of resistance, Xu Ran smiled hoarsely, feeling warm in his heart, "If that's the case, then don't keep it."

"If we be careful, it won't be a big problem."

"Meow~" (I take the lead!)

Zi Yun's eyes were full of fighting spirit and he spoke first.

Although everyone set out together, because Cancan's body is large enough, there must be a sequence for entering the opponent's protective range.

That thundering place is most likely related to the thunder element, and it is also the strongest output in the team, so it has to do its job at this time.

Later, it plans to stand on Cancan's head.

This way, you can be the first to get into range!

Nightmare?

There was no fear in Zi Yun's eyes.

It's just a nightmare, but you can't defeat it!

"Xi Lv~" (I am responsible for assisting everyone!)

The stars neighed.

Although Cancan's body is huge, its repulsive star ring is enough to cover it, and at the same time, it covers Zi Yun and Xu Ran who are standing on Cancan's body.

As the auxiliary corner of the team, it will do its best!

Full support!

"Cha!" (Then let's go!)

Cancan shouted excitedly.

It is curious about everything by nature, and now it feels like its explorer soul has begun to burn!

Taking one step forward, Cancan's small figure rose in the wind and quickly returned to a scale of more than 300 meters. The huge body was like a hill, and it was filled with a strong sense of oppression even in the dark night.

Its majestic head, like a real dragon, seemed to hang down from the clouds until it reached the ground.

"Meow~" (Chongya~)

Zi Yun shouted excitedly, and in a flash he jumped onto Cancan's head, hugging the horn on its forehead, and looked towards the invisible ground with his strange-colored eyes.

"Zi Yun, be careful." Xu Ran warned, and then followed Xingchen to the center of Cancan's thick and solid scales.

In this position, the star's repelling star ring can better cover Cancan's whole body, and Xu Ran wants to stand with the star because the two will be linked together by the fate of holding the star.

Along with the starlight born in nothingness, Xu Ran and the stars' qi quickly merged into one. At the same time, with the special blessing of the destiny star, they climbed up steadily, like the dark light in the night. Deep and striking.

The next moment, dark and complex lines emerged around Zi Yun and Can Can, circling around them, and the indestructible resistance like a rock came instantly. At the same time, Can Can and Zi Yun's momentum quickly increased at this moment. rising!

Three-star skill, Full Moon Level·Twilight Crest!

"Cha~" (Okay!)

Feeling his growing strength, Cancan's eyes were full of excitement.

Because of the special situation, it is not convenient for it to use Earth Veins Ringing and Mustard Seed Sumeru to bless itself at this moment, otherwise excessive movement will instantly alert the guardian below.

In this way, the only blessing power that can be relied on is the twilight emblem of the stars.

Fortunately, the protagonist of the attack this time is not it, but Zi Yun, who is holding the horn on top of its head and whose eyes are filled with sharp lightning!

With the blessing of Mu Ye's emblem, Zi Yun's momentum has climbed to its peak. Its limbs and body turned into lightning at almost the same time, and the sharp lightning continued to penetrate the air, making sharp explosions.

There is even a faint hint of jet black color emerging deep in its eyes.

It is the power of divine punishment that is ready to be used at any time.

Although the consequences of the last divine punishment are still fresh in Zi Yun's mind, if it really comes to a last resort, you have to use it!

After all, this is its strongest skill at the moment.

Also because of this accumulation of power, Zi Yun's whole body at this moment has a faint aura of extreme danger, like a sharp long knife, which makes people dare not look directly at him!

"Walk!"

Everything is ready, Xu Ran shouted.

"Xilu~"

With the star's neighing sound, bright starlight bloomed from the tip of its horn, scattering starlight in all directions and finally covering Cancan's entire body, enveloping one person and three pets.

What followed was a period of silence and tranquility.

Although this starlight seems to have no effect at the moment, its existence itself is a powerful blessing and a reassurance!

Three-star skill, full moon level·Repelling Star Ring!

The next moment, Cancan's huge body seemed to be sinking into a quagmire, and it began to dive slowly and steadily. The hard soil and rocks around it seemed to be suddenly softened, causing slight waves around its body.

Not long after, Cancan's body had completely disappeared into the ground.

The original scene was restored on the ground, as if nothing had happened.

Underground, the exploration of one person and three pets has officially begun.

Under Cancan's precise control, they always dive at a slow speed.

After a while, Cancan's voice echoed in the minds of Xu Ran and the other two little cats.

"Cha~" (It has sunk two kilometers.)

"Continue." Xu Ran responded with contract induction, and his expression gradually became serious.

The distance of five kilometers is now almost halfway.

As they were getting closer to the land of thunder, they were also getting closer to the guardian's protective range.

"Meow~" (Hold still!)

The black light in Zi Yun's eyes became a little deeper.

Because Cancan was in a submersible state at the moment, his head was at the lowest point.

And Zi Yun, who was hugging Cancan's horn, naturally became the one closest to the bottom.

It wants to ensure that it is the first one to enter the opponent's defense range!

Cancan didn't respond, but his diving speed remained steady.

Two kilometers...three kilometers...four kilometers!

They are getting closer and closer below, and the sound of thunder that was only vaguely present in Cancan's perception is now vaguely heard by not only Cancan, but also one person and three pets!

"Boom~Boom~"

The low thunder was like the roar of the God of Thunder, echoing in the depths of the earth for a long time. Along with the buzzing sound, there was a slight but continuous tremor originating from the earth!

It was as if the thunder and lightning that originally belonged to the power of God were imprisoned deep in the earth and were completely angered!

There was real thunder!

The eyes of one person and three pets showed excitement at the same time.

Especially Zi Yun as a thunder type.

While hearing the thunder, it instinctively felt the power coming from deeper underground, as if calling for its power.

This is the mutual attraction between thunder elements!

At this moment, it can be sure that the power underneath is definitely the power of the thunder system, and the energy intensity is not low!

At least, not lower than the king level resources!

However, the next moment, the expressions of one person and three pets changed rapidly.

Almost at the same time, they felt an invisible force coming towards them. The force seemed quite tyrannical, far exceeding the upper limit of the general level.

That is...the power of the royal class!

That power hit hard on the repulsive star ring that the stars had opened early, and the surrounding starlight seemed to be trapped in an invisible millstone, and quickly began to dim.

"Xilu~"

The stars were startled and angry, and the starlight at the tip of the horn was extremely bright, extremely eye-catching in the depths of the dark earth. It used all the power of itself and Xu Ran to try to resist the other party's power.

The first contact between the two parties lasted only a moment.

It seemed that he realized that the guy approaching this time was not that easy to deal with. The invisible power stagnated slightly, and then he retracted it directly.

this…

One person and three pets were slightly stunned.

Before they could react, an even more majestic force swept toward them like a huge wave!

That power…

One person and three pets all changed their expressions.

If the power just now was the power of the king class, then the power at this moment has some categories beyond the king class.

It may not have reached the Overlord level, but it is similar to the Nightmare Beast King and has exceeded the limit of the King level!

And it is completely different from the power just now, this power seems to have its own specialness, so that the star ring that the stars try hard to maintain has no reaction to it!

"Meow~" (Suffer death!)

Zi Yun reacted immediately, and the darkness in his eyes spread instantly, and he was about to completely turn the pair of heterochromatic eyes into black.

An extremely dangerous aura also vaguely emerged from his body at this moment.

However, the next moment, its body suddenly froze, the dark light dissipated in an instant, and the look in its eyes began to fade a little.

A hint of struggle appeared deep in Zi Yun's eyes, but facing the opponent at this moment, its resistance seemed quite weak.

In just an instant, the consciousness of the first one to enter the range was pulled into a nightmare.

Following closely behind was Cancan.

Behind them are Xu Ran and Xingchen.

Cancan's huge body was like an ark traveling underground. At this moment, the ark seemed to have encountered a rock, and its forward momentum quickly stopped.

Only the slight surge of earth power instinctively surrounds one person and three pets, maintaining their ability to sneak underground.

Deep in the earth, it became quiet.

Only the continuous, seemingly never-ending sound of thunder loomed, never stopping for a long time.

——

"Boom!!!"

A bolt of lightning was like a spear piercing the earth, drawing a bright crease in the void, and then struck hard on the earth.

"Meow!!!"

Accompanied by a shrill sound, a kitten covered with dirty pure white long hair and with a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes cowered in fear on the street corner.

Its eyes widened as it stared at the charred figure in the middle of the road that could not be seen clearly.

That is the companion it plays with and has the closest relationship with. When facing other stray cats, they always fight side by side. They work hard to find edible food and will take it back to share with each other.

But now, the other party has lost its life and has become something it doesn't recognize at all.

It didn't understand why things would turn out like this if they just walked through this street that they had walked countless times before their companions.

The white cat with different eyes retreated little by little, trying his best to curl himself up tighter in the corner.

Looking at the charred corpses of its companions and the arcs of electricity that occasionally bounced off the ground, its ears with long tufts had been folded as hard as they could and stuck tightly to the back of its head, and its slightly opened mouth kept breathing.

A dazzling lightning flashed across its sight.

The next moment, the same explosion as before sounded again.

"Boom!!!"

The terrifying thunder made the white cat with different eyes breathe faster and faster, its chest and abdomen twitched laboriously, and its body curled up a little tighter.

But those eyes that had shrunk to needlepoints were staring at the electrical traces that were slowly fading in the sky.

That's it!

The white cat with different eyes understood.

What killed his companions was the thunder and lightning that exploded in the sky!

At this moment, great fear lingered in its heart.

This is something it cannot understand, a force that heaven and earth cannot resist.

But it knows that such power can easily make its companions lose their lives, and naturally it can also easily make it lose their lives.

It gathered its long tail a little, hid it tightly in its arms, and couldn't help but let out a slight whine.

Lightning and thunder echoed again and again.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rain sounded, and the heavy rain fell suddenly.

This is a sudden thunderstorm.

Allowing the cold rain to flow through the hiding corner and wet its body, the white cat with different eyes curled up nervously, not daring to move at all. Every time the thunder sounded, its body would tremble violently.

Once...twice...

I don’t know how much time passed, but the rain gradually subsided and the dark clouds dispersed.

The sun fell softly, illuminating the city that had been ravaged by thunderstorms, and at the same time soothing the frightened hearts of every creature.

The white cat with different eyes had become somewhat stiff and twitched slightly.

The long hair was completely wet, and it looked a little thin as it clung to the body.

The long curling up movement made its body stiff.

After a while, the white cat with different eyes recovered, walked out of the corner that was the only place that gave it a sense of security during the thunderstorm, shook the water from its body, and then sneezed several times in succession.

It walked silently to the body of its companion who was still lying quietly in the middle of the road. It looked at the charred body of its companion in a ferocious posture. The fear in its eyes reappeared. It took a while before it let out a low whine.

"Meow~"

The next moment, its body shook violently.

In the daze, he felt a little more awake.

wrong!

This is my past memory!

It's Zi Yun!

It's in a nightmare right now!

Recalling himself clearly and understanding the situation at this moment, the white cat with different eyes showed full of fighting spirit.

It has long accepted the tragic memories of the past and has overcome its own fears.

It is no longer afraid of thunder and lightning. At this moment, it is the driver of thunder and lightning!

The surrounding scene did not change, but Zi Yun's figure began to change quietly.

It is no longer the miserable stray cat that it was after being soaked by the heavy rain. It has returned to the body and strength it should have had.

A nightmare, nothing more than that!

Zi Yun's eyes were filled with pride.

Memories are not enough to knock it down!

However, the next moment, its expression froze slightly.

Because the surrounding scene began to undergo earth-shaking changes after its body returned to its original state.

Xu Ran, stars and Cancan appeared in front of it.

And in front of them, there appeared a terrifying creature whose form could not be clearly seen, but whose power was so huge that it felt irresistible.

Before Zi Yun could react, Xu Ran and the other two little ones were swallowed up by the endless thunder and lightning, leaving only Zi Yun who was stunned.

"…Meow?!"

——

"Xilu~"

A majestic voice with a hint of encouragement appeared behind a black pony.

This is the first young horse competition at the horse and animal breeding base. The results of the competition will determine the potential of these young foals that have just made their debut, thus affecting the future allocation and allocation of resources.

Beside the black foal stood dozens of foals similar in size to it, and behind them were a group of adult equine pets.

Those are the foals' parents.

After taking a look at the other foals, the black foal raised its head high, its expression full of confidence.

Its father is the fastest champion horse in the entire horse breeding base!

As the offspring of a champion horse, it will definitely be the fastest among the young horses in the entire horse breeding base!

At this moment, the confident colt completely ignored that his father's words of encouragement were not to help him win the championship, but to keep him running the entire race.

It also completely ignored the slightly pitiful looks in the other adult horse beasts' eyes when they looked at it, except for its own father.

In its eyes, there is only the referee's flag.

In its heart, there is only the end!

"Beep——"

With a sharp whistle piercing the sky, the referee's flag fell heavily, and the black pony raised its four hooves and ran powerfully!

Inheriting the excellent genes of its parents, it was much stronger than other young horses when it was born. This advantage now allowed it to rush to the front as soon as it started running!

Scanning the corner of his eye, he didn't see any of the young horses on either side surpassing him. The look of pride in the black colt's eyes became even stronger.

It has already begun to fantasize about the praise that its father will give itself after finishing this race.

With excellent talent, the black pony seems to be born knowing how to mobilize its maximum strength, squeeze every inch of muscles, and let them operate to provide the fastest speed.

It ran wildly, with only the destination in its eyes getting closer and closer.

Not long after, the black pony felt a wave of fatigue coming over him.

This fatigue was not noticeable at first, but as it continued to run, it soon became an important factor that could affect its speed.

The black pony didn't care, though.

As the offspring of a champion horse, he should have the strongest endurance.

I felt tired, and the other ponies must have…

When the black pony casually glanced at the other companions, the pride in his eyes quietly solidified.

The other young horses had already caught up at some point.

Moreover, they seemed not to be tired at all and were still maintaining their fastest speed at this moment.

Why? !

For the first time, doubt and confusion about himself appeared in the black pony's heart.

It tried to speed up again, and every muscle in its body seemed to be resisting this draining of potential.

The severe pain caused it to slow down involuntarily.

It was passed by young horses one after another.

The pain and exhaustion became more and more severe, making it impossible for him to even keep up with other young horses.

The incomparable psychological gap and physical pain made the black pony run hard to the finish line in silence. The light in its eyes slowly dissipated.

When it limped to the finish line, other young horses were already beside their parents, cheering for their good results.

Among the horses, it saw the tallest horse covered in red.

That was its father, Chasing the Wind.

For a moment, the black pony felt that his four hooves were extremely stiff and heavy.

Did it...disappoint his father?

Zhui Feng walked up to it step by step, made a long neighing sound, and told it something in a comforting and encouraging tone.

There was surprise and disbelief in the black pony's eyes.

That day, it learned for the first time the difference between Transcendent creatures and ordinary creatures.

From then on, it could only try its best to chase the footsteps of its companions, but it could never catch up.

The black pony's body trembled violently.

A sober look quickly appeared in its eyes.

This is its memory!

This is the deepest and most unbearable memory in its heart!

Its size quickly grew in size, its muscular body was covered with dense star patterns, and a single horn flashing with stars appeared on its forehead at some point.

Its determined scream echoed in the broken scene.

"Xilu!" (Now I can catch up with my companions!)
