Unserious Beast Tamer

Xingchen's discovery was quickly forgotten by one person and five pets. As they moved forward, they finally saw the outline of a ruins ahead.

They were numerous ruins located on a hillside. It could be determined at a glance that they were definitely not traces left by extraordinary creatures, nor could they be naturally occurring.

"Xingchen, hurry up!" Xu Ran urged excitedly.

He had a hunch that he could answer some questions here.

For example... there is no beast master in another world. What kind of power do humans there use to defeat such powerful extraordinary creatures?

"Xilu~" (Okay!)

Feeling Xu Ran's excitement and anticipation, Xingchen's running speed suddenly accelerated.

In just a few breaths, one person and five pets appeared in front of the ruins.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Xu Ran's expression became a little exciting.

It can be seen that the extraordinary creatures here really hate humans.

The ground was covered with stone powder and gravel no larger than a knuckle. Occasionally, a few larger stones were densely covered with various claw marks. There was no possibility of recovery from this level of damage.

"Cancan, look for anything worth paying attention to."

"Cha~" (Okay.)

Cancan nodded, and then an earthy-yellow halo surged up like ripples, covering the entire ruins.

The next moment, its eyes lit up.

"Cha!" (There are still things saved!)

As he finished speaking, Cancan had already spread his legs and strode towards a certain direction.

Xu Ran and the other four little ones' eyes lit up and they hurriedly followed.

Not long after, Cancan appeared on a pile of gravel and stone powder.

Its two front paws quickly used force to dig aside the gravel and stone powder.

Seeing this scene, everyone rushed to help without saying a word.

As the rubble and stone dust are cleared away, what was covered underneath is exposed.

It was a stone brick, now densely covered with spiderweb-like cracks. It had been broken into three large pieces and countless small pieces, but it was still intact, and some simple patterns could be seen painted on it.

"Is this what you found?" Xu Ran asked curiously.

The pattern on this stone brick does have some reference value.

Unexpectedly, Cancan shook his head without hesitation.

"Cha!" (Under the stone bricks!)

"I'll do it." Xu Ran's expression changed slightly, and he carefully moved the broken stone bricks away, trying to keep them as intact as possible, and then looked under the stone bricks.

Under the stone bricks, there is a deep groove, and there is a stone pillar in the deep groove.

From Xu Ran's position, he could only see the top and part of the side of the stone pillar, but just these areas made him look surprised.

Because the material used for this stone pillar is obviously different from the surrounding gravel!

Special means important!

"Wake it up for me!"

Xu Ran grabbed the top of the stone pillar, then exerted force with both arms, trying to pull the stone pillar out of the deep groove.

But this simple act ended in failure.

It's not that he doesn't have enough strength, it's that the other end of the stone pillar seems to be fixed in a deep groove.

"Exactly?" (If we dig out all the surrounding areas, the stone pillars will be exposed.)

Cancan couldn't help but suggest.

"Goodbye now, I'll think of a solution later." Xu Ran touched his chin, showing a thoughtful look.

He stepped forward again and fumbled with his hands on the top of the stone pillar.

After a moment, Xu Ran's expression moved slightly, and he put his finger into a certain position and exerted slight force.

With a crisp sound of "click", the earth trembled slightly, and accompanied by the sounds of mechanisms operating under the earth, the stone pillar slowly rose up under the gazes of one person and five pets.

Probably because there are few earth-type extraordinary creatures in the ruins, there are very few extraordinary creatures exploring the underground. There are still functional mechanisms in this place that has been destroyed countless times.

Finally, the tremors stopped, and Xu Ran and Wu Xiaozhi did not hesitate to surround the three-meter-high stone pillar that had just emerged and observe it carefully.

There are some exquisite reliefs and patterns on the top and bottom of the stone pillar, but there is no such thing in the middle of the stone pillar. Only six traces of different depths and directions remain on the smooth stone surface.

Different from the claw marks left by extraordinary creatures on the previous stones, these marks are more like those left by weapons.

"Is this...a knife mark?" Relying on his familiarity with the long knife, Xu Ran quickly made a guess after touching it.

However, the knife marks in front of me looked very ordinary, and there were no traces of extraordinary things on them.

"Cha~" (There is a second stone pillar.)

Cancan suddenly spoke with a bit of surprise on his face.

When it first explored, it clearly only found the stone pillar in front of it.

But after the first stone pillar emerged, it casually explored it and found another stone pillar.

"where?"

"Cha!" (Over there.)

Cancan ran in the direction where the stone pillar was detected, and soon stopped about ten meters to the right of the first stone pillar.

One person and five pets skillfully started digging, then lifted the stone bricks and activated the mechanism to raise the stone pillars.

The stone pillar that appeared this time was similar to the last time, except that the six knife marks on it turned into some other marks, some of which were scratches, and the other part were diamond-shaped deep movements.

"Is this a sword mark?" Xu Ran guessed after groping for a while.

"Cha!" (The third part also appeared!)

After digging out the second place, Cancan quickly made new discoveries.

In the end, one person and five pets found seven stone pillars with similar shapes.

These stone pillars have the same height and similar appearance. The only difference is that the marks on them are different.

Knives, swords, halberds, daggers, and three other weapons left traces that Xu Ran didn't know exactly.

After carefully observing the seven stone pillars, Xu Ran suddenly said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the position of these seven stone pillars?"

"Meow~" (They formed a circle, but the position was a bit strange.)

Ziyun narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"Chirp~" (It seems like one is missing?)

After thinking for a while, Twelve spoke with some uncertainty.

"Luho!" (It seems like one is missing.)

The fireflies on the side walked around the stone pillar and nodded in agreement.

The distance between these seven stone pillars is the same. Only the two stone pillars corresponding to the knives and swords are further apart, and they are nearly twice as far away.

Together they form a circle.

Xu Ran didn't say anything. He walked up to where there should theoretically be a stone pillar between the knife pillar and the sword pillar, and started digging.

After cleaning up all the stone chips and powder on the surface, Xu Ran saw a intact stone brick.

There are strange lines on the stone bricks, which are different from the stone bricks covering other stone pillars when they were discovered.

Seeing this scene, a thoughtful look appeared on Xu Ran's face.

This area with stone pillars is probably the only valuable one among the ruins.

So, he had to find a way...

"Click~"

A crisp sound made Xu Ran, who was nervous, look back suddenly.

"Cha~" (I didn't mean it...)

Cancan retracted his claws nonchalantly. In front of it, the stone pillar corresponding to the dagger seemed to be rotated. At this moment, the upper and lower reliefs on the stone pillar were all aligned with Xu Ran's position.

Seeing Xu Ran and the other four little ones looking at each other, Cancan looked embarrassed.

"Cha~" (I just turned it around casually...)

"Good turn!" Xu Ran laughed and his eyes lit up.

He strode to the nearest sword pillar, hugged the sword pillar and turned it hard.

"Click~" Accompanied by the same sound, the reliefs on the top and bottom of the knife pillar also faced the eighth position.

The other four little ones also reacted and all tried to turn the stone pillar.

Finally, all seven stone pillars were aligned with the eighth position.

A sudden vision occurred!

The originally silent stone pillar lit up in an instant, as if it came alive, with the light on its surface flickering on and off.

Xu Ran could clearly feel that the rich light power filled in the surrounding space was rushing towards the stone pillar at this moment, and was swallowed mercilessly by the stone pillar.

As the stone pillars absorbed power, their aura became stronger and stronger.

Mysterious light patterns emerged on the stone pillars, and finally gathered at the top of the stone pillars, turning into seven rays of light, which were instantly projected onto the patterns on the ground at the eighth position.

The lines at the eighth position were lit up section by section, and finally they lit up completely. In the bright light, a ball of light slowly condensed.

A hint of emotion appeared on Xu Ran's face.

He could feel that this ball of light was attracting him faintly.

However, the five little ones did not feel the same attraction.

"I'll go take a look, you guys stay here." He turned around and warned Xu Ran, walking towards the ball of light step by step.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Ran put a hand into the ball of light.

The seven stone pillars he had just dug out appeared before his eyes.

It was as if a voice told him that he could only choose one of them.

In that case... let's use the knife.

Xu Ran did not hesitate and made his choice immediately.

The next moment, Xu Ran's consciousness sank, and he entered another void space while the world was spinning.

A figure condensed in this space.

It was a child who was only five or six years old, holding a knife longer than his own body, and with a stubborn and stubborn expression.

He quietly held the long knife tightly and stared at Xu Ran with an invitation to fight in his eyes.

Xu Ran was silent for a moment, picked up a long knife that appeared from nowhere, and confronted the opponent.

Although I don’t know what the purpose of all this is, and I don’t know why I want to bully a five or six-year-old child.

But for the time being, let’s just follow the other person’s wishes.

In just two fights, Xu Ran found a flaw and slashed the five or six-year-old child with one blow, and the child's figure also disappeared.

The next person who appeared was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy holding a knife.

After just one glance, Xu Ran screamed in surprise.

Because the facial features of the boy holding the knife and the child just now are so similar.

Are they brothers? still…

Without thinking too much, Xu Ran swung his knife and quickly engaged the boy as he watched the young man attacking with a knife.

This time, it took Xu Ran twelve rounds to find the opportunity to hit the opponent's vital point.

Looking at the young man's disappearing figure, Xu Ran already had some guesses in his mind.

The two previous opponents were the same person.

A teenager is what a child looks like when he or she grows up.

Because the two sword skills come from the same source, you can even clearly see the growth trajectory of the sword skills.

While Xu Ran was thinking, a third figure appeared.

This time, the person standing in front of Xu Ran was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Also holding a long sword, with the same stubborn expression.

Xu Ran no longer hesitated, swung his sword and fought with his opponent.

In the empty space, only the sound of the collision of two long knives echoed for a long time.

——

"Meow~" (How long does it take for Xu Ran to wake up.)

Ziyun squatted on a stone the size of his head, looking at Xu Ran who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, a worried look on his face.

After touching the light ball, Xu Ran sat cross-legged on the ground. There was no movement anymore, only his expression kept changing.

This made the five little ones not sure whether to wake him up, so they could only stay around to ensure that no other extraordinary creatures would cause trouble.

"Xi Lu~" (Wait a little longer, I feel Xu Ran is getting stronger.)

Xingchen neighed, a thoughtful look on his face.

Xingchen has had many Star Oath links with Xu Ran, and Xingchen is the most familiar with Xu Ran's aura among the five little ones.

At this moment, it could feel that the aura around Xu Ran was gradually becoming stronger, which was obviously a good thing.

"Cha~" (I dug up another good thing.)

Cancan ran back excitedly from a short distance away, holding a broken stone statue in his mouth and placing it on the ground. Then he looked at Xu Ran, who was sitting cross-legged.

"Cha?" (Isn't it better yet?)

"Chirp" (Not so fast.)

Twelve flew to the stone statue, inspected it carefully, then shook his head in disappointment, flapped his wings and flew aside.

These so-called good things are just a few things that maintain a certain integrity in this ruins.

But these things themselves don’t have much value.

"Cha~" (Okay.)

Cancan shook his head, turned around and left in another direction, planning to search again.

Anyway, Ziyun is guarding here, so there will definitely be no problem.

"Xi Lv~" (Don't go too far!)

Xingchen neighed and started giving instructions as usual.

Twelve looked at Cancan who was fishing, and then looked at Yinghuo who had found an open space and was taking the time to train hard, and sighed like an old mother.

Yinghuo is still sensible.

The four little ones didn't have to wait too long, and Cancan quickly left and returned.

But when Cancan showed up again, the other four little ones couldn't help but look surprised.

Because Cancan came back with a living creature in his mouth.

As Cancan put it down, the trembling creature looked at the other four little ones surrounding it and fainted from fear.

"Cha~" (I noticed this guy on the way, as if he was peeking at us.)

Cancan spoke loudly.

peep…

Xingchen stared at the creature in front of him, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face.

"Xilu~" (It's the one who followed us in the dense forest before.)

"Chirp?" (Are you going to kill me?)

Twelve tilted his head, looking at the frightened creature that fainted and couldn't help but tremble after hearing his words, and his eyes became a little narrow.

"Meow~" (This guy shouldn't be a threat, so just keep it.)

Ziyun went up to take a look, feeling that his claws could no longer hold back.

round!

This guy is round!

After the twelfth evolution, everything is fine, except that it is not so round, and it no longer feels good when coiled.

Now I finally meet a round guy again!

Ziyun's colorful eyes lit up instantly, filled with excitement.

Seeing this familiar look, Twelve couldn't help but tremble.
