Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 538

[Chapter 538 Pterodactyl]

Fang Xing looked at the human-shaped shadow surrounded by gray mist, feeling both amused and helpless.

“The first skill of the Emperor-quality ghost is deception. This is different from concealment, but it is direct deception… For example, Erha, at most it hides its own cultivation, which is directed at itself, while ‘deception’ is directed at others and external objects. For example, after the bronze holy book was deceived, not to mention that it cannot identify the ghost, even if I ask it to identify the Earth Violent Bear as a commander quality or a king quality… it will take it seriously and show it…”

This ability is the magical skill of thieves and swindlers!

“And the second ability – ghost possession! The ghost can possess the body of the heart beast that killed it, complete the ‘body possession’, and absorb the cultivation of the heart beast… The ghost was originally just a heart image, but by constantly absorbing the cultivation of the old one-eyed man, it finally became a heart beast…”

“This ability is almost invincible… If I feed Old One-Eye to an emperor-level or even legendary-level heart beast, Ghost Shadow can also seize control of the other party?”

“No, it seems there is a limit. It can only be activated three times in a lifetime… The previous possession of the one-eyed old man counts as one time. There are two chances left…”

“Also, after each activation, there must be a ‘quiescent period’. If you die during this period, you are really dead?”

Fang Xing used his mind to sense and found that the dormant period of the ghost’s ‘ghost possession’ skill had not yet passed.

However, as long as you use the “power of the mind” to assist, you should be able to speed up the process.

“However, ghost possession is definitely not omnipotent. I’m afraid there are certain limitations on cultivation level and even quality…”

Fang Xing immediately thought of something. No matter how powerful the ghost shadow was now, it was only at the soldier level.

Letting it possess a general or even a lord might have a certain chance of success.

But possessing a king-level heart beast now is like a dream.

“Besides the number of times and cultivation level… there may be other restrictions.”

“In this world, there has never been an invincible heart beast, only an invincible rider!”

He released the restrictions, allowing the ghost to possess the old one-eyed man again.

The one-eyed old man let out a howl and stood up.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing finally confirmed one thing: “Fang Leng really died that night. The only one that survived was his natal beast. Now it has fallen into my hands again… Ah, my blood brother, become my wings… It’s quite literary and lyrical. Instead of that, why not thank my friend for the reward of the beast?”

“This ghost is obviously of the nature of death. It should be of great help in comprehending the law of death…”

…

A few months later.

Deep in Qinglong Mountain.

“Thundercloud!”

Pei Ziyue summoned his own natal beast, and a dark cloud emerged, with the sound of thunder faintly heard in it.

“Very good, your natal Heart Beast has been trained to the upper soldier level… It’s time to tame the second Heart Beast.”

An elderly man wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat stood beside Pei Ziyue and said.

“teacher……”

An expression of respect immediately appeared on Pei Ziyue’s face.

Because her teacher is the lord of Green Forest City, a powerful “Farmer’s Driver”.

At this time, the old city lord was holding an ordinary-looking wooden stick in his hand.

The stick seemed to have just been broken off from a tree. The bark had not been scraped off, and it still had a few fresh branches with green buds on them.

Ding!
The old city lord used the wooden stick in his hand to prop up the ground, and strange seedlings grew out.

Its leaves are dark green with hints of purple lightning.

Before long, the rice ears were filled with grains.

“The most suitable food for your Thunder Cloud Heart Beast is ‘Thunder Cloud Rice’… plus the piece of ‘Thunder Crystal’ you used when you formed your form before, you can cultivate to the upper level of the soldier level in just a few months…”

The old city lord taught some tips on feeding thunderclouds, and continued, “However, the strength of a driver also depends on the combination of other heart beasts… Now, it’s time for you to subdue the second heart beast. Based on your bronze-quality initial heart beast standard, the second heart beast must be at least bronze-quality, or a leader-quality cub…”

“Yes, teacher.”

Pei Ziyue was a little excited.

She thought of her two classmates. Although they were competing with each other in the classroom, it was obvious who was better after they left the classroom.

“It is said that Fang Xing came directly to Qinglong Mountain to venture out. He is probably still on the outskirts… The second heart beast may only be of black iron quality, wasting its potential…”

“There is nothing we can do about this. Not everyone can have a lord-level teacher to help them hunt heart beasts when they are at the soldier level…”

“I have dealt with several Lord-level Heart Beasts in Qinglong Mountain. Perhaps I can find a cub that is suitable for you… If such a cub is nurtured from a young age, even if it grows up to be a Lord, it will not harm you…”

The old city lord smiled and a white cloud flew out of his hand.

Then, this white cloud floated up into the sky, and continued to expand, soon covering an area of dozens of miles, hundreds of miles…

Pei Ziyue looked at this scene with admiration.

Being able to change the sky within a hundred miles with just a wave of his hand, this is a true lord-level driver!
“Your thundercloud has both thunder and cloud… You don’t have to deliberately subdue a ‘thunder beast’. This will free up a position, and it’s also good to go on the road of fighting.”

The old city lord smiled, took out another silver holy book and turned to a certain page.

On the picture, there is a hazy rainy season and elves dancing in the rain.

A drizzle of rain fell
, covering the area of a hundred miles, and it was hazy with mist and rain.

“Yue’er, you have to remember that we, the Farmer’s Drivers, either don’t take action, or if we do, we must seize the right time… We use clouds and fog to cover up, and then use the reconnaissance skills of the Rain Spirit. At least no major movement within a hundred miles can be hidden from your master.”

The old city lord said with some pride: “Now… let’s go meet that ‘Pterodactyl’…”

There are also differences in the quality of leadership.

The pterodactyl is undoubtedly one of the best among the commander-level heart beasts, and more importantly… it has the ability to fly!
Pei Ziyue’s eyes lit up: “Am I going to have a baby pterodactyl?”

Such a leader-quality cub, when raised up, will definitely be a leader among the lords!
In fact, there is no beast with a dragon in its name that is not strong.

And pterosaurs aren’t even considered true dragon-type heart beasts.

“Um?”

suddenly!

The old city lord looked in a certain direction, his expression becoming extremely solemn: “Two high-ranking lords’ heart beasts are fighting… One of them is the ferocious saber-toothed tiger with 700 years of cultivation!”

“The upper lord’s mind and beast are fighting?”

Pei Ziyue took a breath and said, “Is this normal?”

According to what she had learned from textbooks, lord-level heart beasts all had fixed territories and would not fight unless necessary.

“Of course this is not normal. Another lord-level heart beast has been cultivating for at least 900 years… It’s an invasion and a hunt!”

A solemn look emerged on the old city lord’s face, and he kept turning pages of the silver holy book in his hand.

A ‘wind elf’ and a ‘thunder beast’ were released.

Wind, rain, thunder, clouds…this is the standard equipment of a farmer.

Although among these lord-level heart beasts, only the natal heart beasts ‘Wudingyun’ and ‘Thunder Beast’ have reached the upper lord level, the rest are lower lord levels.

But if they work together, even if they encounter a Lord’s Heart Beast that has cultivated for a thousand years, they can tangle with it or even defeat it!
Roar!

Even in the rain, Pei Ziyue could hear the roars of tigers.

Gradually, the tiger’s roar changed from high pitch to shrill, and finally to silence.

Crash!
A wolf beast over six meters tall with emerald green eyes appeared in the rain.

It still had a saber-tooth tiger’s head in its mouth and glanced over here with disdain, causing the Thunder Beast to shudder.

Soon, the wolf retreated and quickly disappeared in the rain.

“It’s gone…”

The old city lord breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn’t dare to take back the beast in his heart.

Otherwise, if he encountered a sudden attack, he would not be afraid because of the protective aura, but Pei Ziyue would definitely die.

“Huff…”

Only then did Pei Ziyue hear her own heavy breathing.

She was just an ordinary soldier-level rider. It was too difficult for her to suddenly face a lord-level beast that had cultivated for nearly a thousand years.

However, when she thought of the blurry figure she had just seen, she inexplicably had a familiar feeling.

“Wolf…dog…heart?”

“Is that a black fire dog?”

Pei Ziyue couldn’t help but blurt out that as someone’s classmate, she had certainly seen Fang Xing’s heart.

“No, it should be a commander-quality Black Flame Dog, or even a king-quality Black Flame Dog King!”

The old city lord shook his head and said, “An ordinary black fire dog can never break through the 100-year limit and be promoted to a lord-level heart beast…”

“Too……”

Pei Ziyue nodded.

…

Somewhere a hundred miles away.

Fang Xing was wearing a bamboo hat, standing on the cliff, looking at the rain clouds not far away: “A lord-level farmer driver?”

There are many farmer drivers near Green Forest City, but there seems to be only one lord-level one.

“Why would the city lord condescend to take this risk?”

He thought about it casually, and then didn’t care.

Not long after, Erha came to Fang Xing with the ferocious saber-toothed tiger’s head in his mouth to ask for credit.

“Well, good job…”

He nodded, quite satisfied with Erha’s performance.

After spending several months to let Erha get familiar with the power of the general level, Fang Xing took it into Qinglong Mountain again, catching dogs and chasing chickens along the way. Anyway, he only attacked the weak and burned countless insects, butterflies, and small animals with the fire of destruction…

Erha was quickly promoted to the lord level, breaking through a hundred years of cultivation, his size grew dramatically, and he also comprehended the skill of ‘Destruction Field’.

Generally speaking, only king-level heart beasts have the chance to master domain skills, but Erha obtained them when he was at the lord level, which shows that he is gifted.

“Now that my cultivation has risen, it’s like a snowball… However, it’s enough to maintain my cultivation at a thousand years. I still need to get familiar with it and hone my skills before I can break through to the King level.”

Fang Xing looked at his other beast again. The one-eyed old man was standing aside with a melancholy look on his face, but he did not show much panic when facing the Husky.

“Ghost Shadow is of Emperor quality after all. He was completely delayed before. Now that he has obtained high-level food materials for cultivation, he is improving rapidly… He will soon be able to break through to the general level.”

‘After that, maybe you can try to possess a lord-level heart beast directly?’

Fang Xing has always been too lazy to cultivate new blood. Not every heart beast is like Erha. As long as they keep fighting and practicing the way of destruction, their cultivation will increase rapidly.

“The ghost only has three chances to possess a person. I used it on the one-eyed wolf before. What a waste of talent…”

“This time, we must capture at least one overlord… a heart beast with the potential to become a king, so that it will not be a waste.”

“It just so happens that after my natal beast was promoted, I am now also a lord-level rider. It will be no problem for me to bear the contracts of a few lord-level beasts…”
