Chapter 019
Since the battle with his father, Shi Qi has to fight the Stone Skin Ape every day, but he is ruthlessly defeated every time.
But this little guy was born with the character of never getting discouraged. He ran to the training screaming and was even more serious than before.
During this period, an announcement was made regarding the assessment for practicing beastmasters in Liushan District. It was decided to carry out the wilderness survival assessment, and the date will be August 1, which is ten days from now.
Registration was required for the assessment, so he was prepared to wait before going.
I have been training these days. The sky was clear this afternoon. Lin Heng meditated for a while, lying on the recliner and reading a book.
"Ouch!!"
Suddenly, sharp sounds came from the sky. Lin Heng looked up and saw a dense flock of birds flying from the west.
They gathered together in a dense darkness, blocking all the sunlight on the earth, and flew towards the east with all their strength.
"This is the ruby goose, the legless bird, the golden rooster with wooden legs, the iron-beaked vulture, the white iron sparrow..."
Lin Heng's eyesight was excellent and he could identify several species of birds among the huge flock of birds. What surprised him was that these birds seemed to be injured.
After they flew by, the air was filled with a burning smell, and black burnt feathers fell down.
Snap!
With a bang, a bird corpse fell from a distance.
"Seventeen, go catch him and have a look!"
Lin Heng looked at Qi Shi who was practicing his tearing claws and said.
"Ouch~"
Seventeen screamed happily and rushed out in joy. Even though the bird carcass was nearly a kilometer away, it only took ten minutes for it to come back.
Shi Qi placed the brought body on the ground, clasped his paws together, and looked at Lin Heng expectantly. He was waiting for praise, as if to say, Master, do you think I did a good job?
“Well done!”
Qi Qi touched Qi Qi's head, fed it some ore, and praised it profusely.
"Ouch!!"
After being touched and fed by Lin Heng, Shi Qi jumped up with satisfaction and had fun, extremely happy.
"As expected, he was burned to death, such horrific burns!"
Lin Heng came over to inspect the body of the dead bird. It was a commander-level golden rooster with wooden legs.
Monsters with both wood and metal elements will usually remain motionless after choosing a place. It can use its wooden legs to grow in the soil to obtain nutrients. At the same time, it will also produce a kind of fruit to induce some snakes and insects to approach, and then suddenly attack and devour it.
.
At this time, its wooden legs had turned into black charcoal, its feathers were burnt, and the scorching temperature made people afraid to approach it.
Lin Heng cut open the body of the golden chicken with wooden legs and found that the inside was also ruined. The meridians and blood vessels in the body had turned into black charcoal, and the flesh and blood were gradually carbonizing.
"What a powerful fire skill, it can burn and carbonize flesh and blood!"
Lin Heng looked shocked. He felt that the fire skill that caused the death of the golden rooster was at least a high-level skill.
As for whether it was a super-level skill, he couldn't tell because he had never seen a super-level skill, so he had no way of judging.
"But what kind of existence can cause a large number of birds to be frightened and run into human cities in a hurry?"
Lin Heng was a little curious.
Not long after, he received news that a terrifying fire broke out in the Asparagus Forest west of Jinmu City, and a powerful monster was suspected to be infested.
"Powerful monster? What kind of monster could it be?"
Lin Heng was very confused, but when he thought that he was not even a professional beast master, even if he knew about it, he would not be able to leave the city or see anything, he suddenly lost interest.
Different from the past, my father Lin Yuetian came back before dark today.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today?"
Lin Heng looked at his father who was in a hurry and asked.
"Did you see the flock of birds that just flew over the sky? Those birds all flew over from the Asparagus Forest in the west.
The guards on the city wall couldn't stop them at all. Under the threat of death, these guys are now scattered in Kaneki City.
I was doing a mission at the edge of the Asparagus Forest this afternoon and witnessed the fire.
And I also brought a strange guy back. I plan to give this thing to you and then I will take over the mission to capture those scattered bird monsters."
The father explained, handing an iron box to Lin Heng as he spoke.
"what?"
Lin Heng curiously opened it and looked at it. There was a silkworm baby lying in the center of the box, but it was not an ordinary wood type, but a fire type.
"Aren't silkworm babies all of the wood type? Are they just mutated?"
Lin Heng raised his head and asked. Silkworm baby is a famous insect-type and wood-type dual-type beast. It is very weak when it is young, but it can evolve independently.
It seems that thanks to the complete metamorphosis of most insects, insects have a chance to evolve independently after gaining extraordinary powers.
Just like the silkworm baby, it can usually evolve into a variety of royal beasts such as pollen butterfly, jasper butterfly, poisonous pink blue butterfly, etc. What it evolves into depends mainly on what it ate when it was in insect form.
But Lin Heng has never heard of fire-type silkworms. There are fire-type bugs, usually lava snails, lava earthworms and the like.
"Yes, this guy is not ordinary. It was originally an ordinary silkworm baby, but suddenly a burnt parrot fell from the sky and set the tree where it lived on fire.
As a result, not only was this guy not dead, but he became like this now, so I quickly brought him back to study it for you."
Father Lin pointed at the sleeping silkworm baby in the box and said.
"Is that so? Let me see."
Lin Heng nodded and prepared to study. This silkworm baby might be a little unusual.
"Then you study it and wait until I come back tonight to talk about anything."
Father Lin waved his hand and left in a hurry.
Many of these birds that fell in the city were seriously injured leader-level monsters who were going to make a fortune.
After his father left, Lin Heng first checked it with the illustrated machine.
【Name】:Unknown
[Attribute]: Fire
[Level]: Servant Level 3
【potential】:???
【Skill】:???
【Introduction】:???
However, except for attributes and levels, nothing else can be detected, which means that this kind of monster has never been included in the illustrated library.
"Is it some kind of unknown mutation?"
Lin Heng could only guess, and after studying for a while, he found that he couldn't see anything for the time being, so he put it in the box and ignored it for the time being.
When his father came back in the evening, Lin Heng reported the matter to him and said that he could not find anything out for the time being.
"Then you keep it first. I don't have time to deal with this guy. Even if it's a rare insect, I can't contract it."
Father Lin said while eating.
Because of the injury he suffered seven years ago, he himself was also injured. No matter how much he meditated, he could not gather new beast-controlling seeds.
"Oh well."
Lin Heng nodded. He was also curious about what happened to the silkworm baby, whether it mutated or evolved.
He hasn't woken up yet. What will he be like when he wakes up? Is it still an insect-type beast, or is it a dual-type insect type and fire type?
"Just tell me what happened when the time comes."
Father Lin said something, and then began to discuss today's Asparagus forest fire with Lin Heng and Mother Lin.
Now everyone in the city is discussing this matter, and there are currently two main views.
One is caused by the breakthrough of some kind of fire-type monster, and the other is caused by the opening of a space crack and a powerful fire-type monster running out of it.
