Chapter 140: Chapter 60: The Insecure Ghost (Seeking Investment and Followers)
It was clear that Qiuqiu was satisfied with its new name, and after realizing that Qiuqiu would become Lin Su's second pet monster, its attitude towards Qiuqiu took a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.
It lightly hopped down from Lin Su's arms and slowly approached Qiuqiu, rubbing its cheek against Qiuqiu's prickly hedgehog head.
"Meow! Meow! (。òωó。)" (From today on you're my little bro! Quick, call me big bro!)
"Hee! (⊙∀⊙)" (Big bro!)
Qiuqiu's large eyes blinked, and it quickly, without any hesitation, spoke up.
In its simple mind, more powerful pet monsters naturally held higher status, so calling the Qiuqiu before it big bro was perfectly reasonable.
Seeing this scene, Lin Su silently covered his forehead.
In the early stages of the Ghostly Energy Catastrophe, the growth rate of the first-generation mutant beasts that evolved from regular creatures was extremely fast, but as that mutation period passed, the growth rate of the subsequent mutant beasts would return to normal.
Under wild conditions, how long would it take for a juvenile-stage mutant beast to continuously hone its skills and advance to the elite stage?
At least five years or more.
And when Qiuqiu first formed a bond with him, it was probably only a few months old, and even now, it might not be older than half a year.
A ghost ghost over five years old calling a half-year-old Qiuqiu big bro?
Based on the order of seniority, it seemed there was nothing wrong with that.
Watching the affectionate interaction between his two pet monsters, Lin Su smiled silently.
Having completed Qiuqiu's evolution inside the Nirvana Pool and encountered his second pet monster, Qiuqiu, this trip to the Nirvana Secret Realm was already quite fruitful, but there was still a day and a half left before the secret realm would open for two days. If he could make good use of this time, he should be able to obtain quite a few supernatural resources.
Who would complain about having too many gains?
With this in mind, Lin Su's gaze subconsciously shifted towards the snow mountain he had come from.
"Alright, Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu, we have a day and a half to find the resources we need," Lin Su said as he took out the map and looked at it with a bit of frustration. "Unfortunately, there are no dark environments in the Nirvana Secret Realm, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any dark resources suitable for Qiuqiu."
If there had been a dark environment, Qiuqiu wouldn't have stayed in that forest cave.
The attributes of mutant beasts can be roughly divided into fifteen types: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, ice - the eight elements are categorized as natural elements. In addition to these eight, there are light and dark, space and time, telekinesis, spirit, and martial types.
I wonder if it's because it's only a yellow-grade secret realm, but the Nirvana Secret Realm only has eight natural environments suitable for survival, and the supernatural resources it can produce are also limited to these eight types. Neither the dark resources that Qiuqiu needs nor the spirit resources that Qiuqiu can use can be found here.
"Hee, hee!" (I don't need them, just find some for big bro!)
Worried that Lin Su wouldn't understand its intentions, Qiuqiu repeatedly gestured with its hands while pointing at Qiuqiu by its side.
"Meow~" (Little bro, you're really kind~)
Qiuqiu's eyes filled with gratitude as it rubbed against Qiuqiu.
Decided! Once I, Qiuqiu, get stronger, I'll definitely look out for my little bro!
Now that he was somewhat familiar with Qiuqiu, Lin Su quickly guessed its meaning and his eyes filled with a smile. Bending down, he patted Qiuqiu on the head, "Both you and Qiuqiu are my pet monsters, I definitely can't show favoritism to one over the other."
After thinking for a moment, he soon had an idea, "Although there are no dark resources here, we can go and get resources from other elements, and after leaving the secret realm, exchange them for dark resources that are suitable!"
"Hee!" (Good!)
"Meow!" (Exchange resources for little bro!)
Seeing that his two pet monsters had no objections to his arrangements, Lin Su smiled, "First we'll go to the snow mountain, help Qiuqiu find some ice resources, then cross the snow mountain to see what other environmental resources are on the other side."
As Lin Su finished speaking, Qiuqiu suddenly raised one hand. Only on m v|le|mp|yr
"Hee! Hee! (⊙ᗜ⊙)┛" (Let's go to that forest! I'm familiar with it!)
Lin Su was startled, followed by an amused laugh.
Indeed, Qiuqiu had lived in that forest for several years; it couldn't have always stayed in the cave, so it probably had visited many places.
With it leading the way, the efficiency of searching for resources would greatly increase.
"Then you take the lead," Lin Su nodded.
"Hee!" (Okay!)
It might have been Lin Su's imagination, but after he agreed to let Qiuqiu lead the way, Qiuqiu seemed a bit happier than before.
"Meow!" (We're going to beat up those Leaf Sprouts!)
Hearing they were going back to that forest, Qiuqiu shook its head, clearly looking forward to it.
Hmph! Leaf Sprouts, I, Qiuqiu, am back!
…
"Boom!"
A Frost Silence Storm burst forth from Qiuqiu's mouth, viciously targeting the Snow Lynx in front of it. The ice-blue and silver-white intertwined rapidly in the void, the pure ice element attracting the snow around it, and the originally disordered snowflakes seemed to be guided at this moment, converging rapidly into the storm, making it even more powerful and violent.
Within the Snow Lynx's abyss-like sharp black pupils, a dense frost spread. It stared down the impending storm, ice flowers blooming beneath its feet as it prepared to dodge to the side.
Just then, an invisible pressure emerged, like a heavy hammer striking at the heart of the Snow Lynx. Under the Monarch Power, the racial hierarchy-induced suppression caused the Snow Lynx a moment of distraction. By the time it regained its senses, it had been swept up and engulfed by the raging storm.
