Unorthodox beast control

Chapter 279 The special thunder dragon stone, the thing in the stone!

"This Thunder Dragon Stone..."

After receiving the Thunder Dragon Stone from Xingchen, Xu Ran had a strange feeling on his face.

Compared with the extremely clear and dazzlingly beautiful Thunder Dragon Stones around, the Thunder Dragon Stone in front of me is really unsightly. Not only is it not clear enough to see the inside clearly, but it also lacks the most conspicuous symbol of Thunder Dragon Stone, the hidden treasure. Among them is a golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning.

As a result, Xu Ran even had some doubts that the piece in front of him might not be the Thunder Dragon Stone, or it might be an unformed Thunder Dragon Stone.

"Xingchen, do you think this piece of Thunder Dragon Stone is good?" Xu Ran looked at the Thunder Dragon Stone in his hand, then looked at Xingchen who looked expectantly, and asked tentatively.

"叏lv~" (I don't know either, but I think it's very special.)

Xingchen neighed and spoke honestly.

Indeed, among all the thunder dragon stones, this one is the most special.

"In that case, let's keep it and let Ziyun pick it out later." Xu Ran smiled and put the Thunder Dragon Stone that Xingchen had found aside, and then looked in the direction of Ziyun and Cancan. .

They are still excitedly selecting and comparing to choose the best one.

Soon, the two little ones each returned with the Thunder Dragon Stone of their choice.

What Cancan chose was a thunder dragon stone with a length of two meters and four meters. It was the largest stone in the area it searched.

The Thunder Dragon Stone that Ziyun selected was only one and a half meters long.

But compared with the Thunder Dragon Stone that Cancan chose, the golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning in this Thunder Dragon Stone seems to be much stronger.

They returned excitedly with the Thunder Dragon Stone they had found, and the two little ones looked at the stars who had returned early.

They were very curious about what the Thunder Dragon Stone chosen by Xingchen would look like.

"The thunder dragon stone of Xingchen is here." Seeing the thoughts of the two little ones, Xu Ran smiled and pointed to the one lying quietly on the ground, which had some special thunder dragon stones.

Eh?

After taking a look at the Thunder Dragon Stone on the ground, the two little ones were dumbfounded.

Because it was so special, the two little ones didn't even recognize that it was also a thunder dragon stone when they came just now.

Is this the choice of Xingchen?

"Meow?" (Can this Thunder Dragon Stone work?)

Ziyun's strange-colored eyes looked at the dim thunder dragon stone at his feet with suspicion.

As a thunder beast, Ziyun can clearly feel that the golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning in the Thunder Dragon Stone is the essence of the entire resource.

After discovering this, it no longer selected based solely on the size of the thunder dragon stone itself, but based on the power of the dragon-shaped thunder and lightning.

And the Thunder Dragon Stone that Xingchen chose...

Even the weakest dragon-shaped thunder and lightning does not exist, it looks like an empty shell. What can such a thunder dragon stone do?

"Okay, you have all chosen the Thunder Dragon Stone that you think is the best. Now let Ziyun choose among the three Thunder Dragon Stones." Xu Ran smiled, "The Thunder Dragon Stone is of the thunder element. The resources must be given to Ziyun for use.”

"Of course, Ziyun will also have to help his companions obtain other resources in the future."

"Meow!" (No problem!)

Ziyun nodded heavily and couldn't help but look at the Thunder Dragon Stone he chose.

Among the three Thunder Dragon Stones, he naturally prefers the one he chooses.

Seemingly sensing Ziyun's thoughts, Xu Ran coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, you can look at the three Thunder Dragon Stones carefully before making a decision."

"Meow~" (OK~)

Ziyun's eyes flashed and he understood what Xu Ran meant.

Cancan and Xingchen worked hard for a while to help them choose the resources. It would be very rude not to take a look at them.

In this case, let’s take a look.

Ziyun put aside the thunder dragon stone he chose.

This one has been thoroughly inspected and there is no need to look at it again.

Ziyun first walked towards the one Cancan chose, and gently pressed it with one claw, using his own thunder power to try to resonate with the thunder power contained in the Thunder Dragon Stone.

This is a little trick Ziyun discovered during the search just now.

In this way, you can easily test the strength of the thunder element in the Thunder Dragon Stone, thereby judging the quality of this Thunder Dragon Stone.

"Cha!" (How about it!)

Cancan's eyes widened, looking at Ziyun expectantly.

The piece it chose must be the best thunder dragon stone in the entire cave.

Just like its own size, big!

How could such a big thunder dragon stone be bad?

"Meow~" (The energy is a bit worse than the one I chose.)

After the investigation was completed, Ziyun shook his head regretfully.

Similar to its judgment based on its appearance, although this thunder dragon stone is larger in size, the golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning in it is not the strongest, and there is naturally a gap in energy.

"Cha~" (Okay~)

Cancan nodded with some regret, but was not discouraged and quickly looked at the piece of stars he had chosen.

"Cha!" (Look at Brother Xingchen!)

Ziyun nodded and walked step by step towards the thunder dragon stone chosen by Xingchen.

Looking at the dull and even somewhat turbid Brontosaurus Stone, Ziyun began to think about how to comment on this inferior Brontosaurus Stone in a more tactful manner later.

"Xilu~" (Try it.)

Xingchen neighed slightly and signaled Ziyun to try it.

Being smart, it has already seen that its companions are not optimistic about the area it has chosen.

嗏

It still feels that the Thunder Dragon Stone it chose is not bad.

Just like it was once an ordinary among a group of extraordinary ponies, maybe this piece of Thunder Dragon Stone is also a dusty pearl?

"Meow~" (Let me see~)

Ziyun gently placed her claws against the cold surface of the Thunder Dragon Stone, and then slowly injected her own thunder power into it, trying to resonate with the power of the Thunder Dragon Stone itself.

However, the next moment, its expression was slightly dull.

Because the trace of thunder power it injected into it seemed to have encountered the huge mouth of the abyss, and was instantly absorbed by the Thunder Dragon Stone.

This…

What's going on? !

Ziyun was a little disbelieving and injected more power again, but the Thunder Dragon Stone in front of him seemed to be very hungry, and he actually absorbed all the power it injected.

This time, Ziyun couldn't help but feel a little more competitive in his eyes.

Bolts of lightning ejected from its body, stabbing into the void. Under Ziyun's precise control, they all stabbed towards the Thunder Dragon Stone in front of them.

You like to eat, right?

I'll let you eat enough!

Seeing Ziyun's actions, Xu Ran and the other two little ones also had surprised looks on their faces.

Is this awkward?

The next moment, their expressions of surprise turned into surprise.

Because in the face of this powerful thunder attack, the Thunder Dragon Stone was completely absorbed without any trace of it escaping.

"This..." Xu Ran touched his chin, with a look of contemplation on his face, "Ziyun, how do you choose?"

"Meow~" (Let me think about it...)

Ziyun looked at his own piece, and then at the piece Xingchen had chosen, with a hesitant look on his face.

Obviously, the Thunder Dragon Stone chosen by Xingchen was not simple.

But compared to normal Brontosaurus stone, it is unknown.

If you take it back and find that it's actually not as good as the piece you picked, you'll be at a big loss.

But on the other hand, if you take it back and find that it is better than the one you picked, you will make a lot of money.

After thinking for a moment, Ziyun gritted his teeth.

Isn’t it just gambling on dogs?

Bet!

"Meow!" (I choose this piece!)

While speaking, Ziyun placed his paw on the Thunder Dragon Stone chosen by Xingchen.

"Xi Lv~" (Okay!)

There was a little more smile in Xingchen's eyes.

Although I don’t know why Ziyun changed his mind.

But there was nothing wrong with his vision, which made him very happy.

"Now that we have made our choice, let's go back to find the guardian."

Xu Ran smiled and picked up the Thunder Dragon Stone that Ziyun had chosen, then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave with the three little ones.

Not long after, they saw the guardian waiting quietly at the entrance of the cave.

"Rumble?"

(Did you choose this Thunder Dragon Stone?)

After the guardian came over, he carefully looked at the Thunder Dragon Stone in front of him, with a look of doubt in his purple-black eyes.

This cave is already very familiar to it.

But it had never seen the Thunder Dragon Stone before it.

"Rumble?"

(Where was this brontosaurus stone found?)

"Xilu~" (It's a corner in the cave...)

Xingchen neighed and described the location where he had just found it.

The guardian thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

It had an impression of the place described by the stars, but it did not find this piece of Thunder Dragon Stone.

If nothing else, this is probably an unformed Thunder Dragon Stone.

This human and his three pet beasts are really good at choosing. Among the high-quality thunder dragon stones in the cave, they actually chose this one.

"Lulu~"

(Are you sure you want to choose it?)

The guardian couldn't help but ask again.

"Meow!" (OK!)

Ziyun spoke firmly.

Now that you've made your choice, let's go all the way!

"Lulu~"

(In that case, come with me.)

The guardian nodded slightly, turned and walked to another place.

Before one of the three pets chose the Thunder Dragon Stone, it had already decided that if the Thunder Dragon Stone they chose was too bad, he would take out a piece of his collection and give it to them, just like making friends.

The Thunder Dragon Stone they chose now can no longer be described as poor.

In this case…

The guardian skillfully reached into the rock wall with his big hand, and quickly took out a small piece of purple-gold crystal stone and handed it to one person and three pets.

"Lulu~"

(This piece is also given to you.)

"Meow?!" (This...)

Looking at the Thunder Dragon Stone, Ziyun's eyes widened suddenly.

The piece of Thunder Dragon Stone in the guardian's hand is much smaller than the Thunder Dragon Stone in the cave. It is only about thirty centimeters in length and looks very compact.

But in such a small thunder dragon stone, there is an almost complete golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning.

This lightning bolt is much larger than the one it selected just now, almost occupying the entire crystal!

There is such a thunder dragon stone? !

Not only were Ziyun different, Xu Ran and the other two little ones also had the same surprise on their faces when they saw this Thunder Dragon Stone, which was almost rendered purple-gold by golden thunder and lightning.

Seeing the expressions of one person and three pets, there was a smile in the guardian's eyes.

"Rumble..."

(The growth of Thunder Dragon Stone is regular...)

As the guardian narrated, the faces of one person and three pets showed understanding.

It turns out that the Thunder Dragon Stone will continue to absorb the power from the Thunder God Silent Dragon in the cave to grow.

At first, they will continue to expand their size as their strength grows. The purple crystal part becomes larger and larger, and the energy of the golden dragon-shaped thunder and lightning inside will also become stronger.

But after growing to a certain extent, the Thunder Dragon Stone will no longer continue to grow in size.

Its ultimate length is approximately between and meters.

Brontosaurus that reaches this length will begin to shrink the purple crystal part.

But the golden dragon-shaped lightning will continue to grow.

This is a process of energy concentration.

Through this process, Brontosaurus will become purer.

Until, the purple crystal part of the Thunder Dragon Stone completely disappeared.

At this time, the golden dragon-shaped lightning will also quickly dissipate between the sky and the earth because it loses the protection of its shell.

This is the entire process of Thunder Dragon Stone from its birth to its demise.

Because of this, the guardians will regularly inspect the caves, and if they find a thunder dragon stone that has shrunk to the point of dissipating, they will take it away and seal it in the rock wall.

Without contact with the Thunder God Silent Dragon, the Thunder Dragon Stone will not continue to grow, thus retaining its best condition.

What the guardian gave to one person and three pets was a thunder dragon stone that had grown to its extreme.

And in this way, one person and three pets also understood why the piece Cancan was looking for just now was not as powerful as the one Ziyun was looking for.

What Cancan found happened to be a piece of Thunder Dragon Stone that was at its extreme length.

The piece Ziyun found was the Thunder Dragon Stone in its shrinking stage.

In this way, Ziyun is naturally looking for something better.

<divclass="contentadv"> "Senior, do you really want to give us such a precious Thunder Dragon Stone?" Knowing the value of the small Thunder Dragon Stone in his hand, even with Xu Ran's shamelessness, he felt a little embarrassed. .

They had already chosen one with each other's consent.

"Lulu~"

(Take it~)

The guardian nodded with a smile in his purple-black eyes.

"Then thank you, senior." Xu Ran showed a grateful expression.

Since the other party was so kind, he would not take it for nothing.

After thinking about it, Xu Ran quickly came up with an idea.

"Senior has been staying in this crypt all year round, can he get out?"

"Lulu~"

(I will go out regularly, but not for long.)

The guardian nodded and spoke.

"In that case." Xu Ran smiled, "Senior can come to my foster care shop next time, and I will take care of him."

"The Sandman Group knows where my store is."

"Lubilubi~"

The Sandman emerged from the guardian's thick hair and nodded expectantly.

This human body care is super comfortable!

"Lulu~"

(this…)

The guardian's face showed a thoughtful look.

In the past, the Sandman Group would bring it the blackwood dew produced by the sky-high blackwood to cleanse its body.

But now, Xuanmulu has not produced anything for a long time.

Although it lives in a dark crypt, it is not that concerned about appearance.

But the occasional physical discomfort still made him a little concerned.

It shouldn’t take too long to wash and care, otherwise... try it yourself?

After all, the effect of the Sandman Group's cleansing regimen does look good.

After glancing at the Sandman Group, the guardian nodded slightly in silence.

"Senior can come at any time." Seeing the other party's agreement, Xu Ran nodded with a smile, "Then I'll take my leave today."

"Lulu~"

(it is good.)

Watching Cancan lead Xu Ran and the other two little ones through the rock wall of the cave, return towards the ground, and disappear into the cave, the guardian gradually withdrew his gaze.

After standing there for a while, it walked with heavy steps towards the cave where Thunder God Silent Dragon fell.

Soon, the cave appeared in front of him.

A few thunder dragon stones that one person and three pets chose but did not take away again were reinserted into the earth to allow them to better absorb power and grow. Then the guardian seemed to have thought of something and walked to a certain location in the cave.

That's where Xingchen found the special Thunder Dragon Stone.

After standing there and watching for a moment, the guardian still had some doubts in his eyes.

It had never seen such a defective Brontosaurus Stone before.

Why does such a thunder dragon stone appear?

While thinking, the guardian accidentally glanced in the direction of Thunder God Silent Dragon, and then his body shook.

The Thunder God Jilong was lying quietly in the cave, always keeping his neck slightly stretched out, as if he was trying his best to see something before he fell.

The guardian's current position was facing its huge and majestic head.

-

"I'm finally home."

It wasn't until they arrived at the Xinghuo Nursing Home that the three pets suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

Even in the peaceful Yaomu Domain, returning with overlord-level resources puts them under a lot of psychological pressure.

Now that I'm back in the store, the psychological pressure has completely disappeared.

"I'll put this Thunder Dragon Stone away first." Xu Ran first took out a wooden box, carefully put the small Thunder Dragon Stone given by the guardian into it, and then looked at the other turbid and dim Thunder Dragon Stone. Dragon Stone, "Next, let's take a look at this piece."

"Meow~" (No problem!)

Ziyun nodded heavily.

The details of that little thunder dragon stone are already very clear.

Such a precious resource must be used at the most appropriate time later to ensure that it is not wasted.

But the other piece of Thunder Dragon Stone they selected is still a mystery at the moment.

Ziyun once bet on dogs and couldn't wait to know the answer.

What is hidden inside it?

"Knock it open directly?" Putting the thunder dragon stone about one meter long on the table, Xu Ran had a cautious look on his face.

"Meow~" (I'm coming!)

Ziyun slightly raised his claws, popped out his sharp claws, and slowly approached the Thunder Dragon Stone.

Xu Ran and the other two little ones opened their eyes wide and held their breath, waiting for Ziyun's next move.

The next moment, Ziyun's sharp claws slashed towards the side of the Thunder Dragon Stone!

"Click~"

With a crisp sound, cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the amethyst, and then the entire crystal pillar shattered into pieces, turning into a table of broken debris.

It could easily absorb Ziyun's violent thunder and lightning power before, but it could not withstand the physical cutting power.

The eyes of one person and three pets looked past the debris and all focused on the small group of things that looked a little unusual among the debris.

"This looks like...a piece of crumpled paper?" Xu Ran spoke in an uncertain tone.

"Meow~" (Let me see...)

Ziyun carefully raised her claws and pulled the object out of the amethyst residue.

Then, its expression showed a hint of surprise.

At the same time as it touched, it felt the familiar feeling of absorbing its own thunder power.

So... this was the one that absorbed its power before?

Then...

There was a hint of guessing and understanding in Ziyun's eyes.

Is there a possibility...

This thunder dragon stone was originally normal, but because of the addition of this thing that can absorb the power of thunder, it was sucked out of its own power?

Thinking of this, Ziyun was a little more cautious and slowly unfolded this mass of things.

As Xu Ran had guessed before, this was indeed a piece of crumpled paper.

And on this piece of paper, there are some strange lines and a special pattern drawn on it.

"Meow?" (What is this?)

After reading this piece of paper, Ziyun couldn't help but have a blank look on his face.

It failed to discern anything useful from the piece of paper.

Could it be...that this is a special piece of paper that can absorb the power of thunder?

Then didn’t he lose money by gambling? !

"Let me take a look." Noticing Ziyun's dazed look of frustration, Xu Ran took the piece of paper and read it carefully.

Then, his expression changed slightly.

The first thing that caught his attention was the strange pattern that looked like a rune carved by thunder and lightning.

Such a pattern…

In Xu Ran's mind, some information that he had found suddenly appeared.

Ziyun evolves into the emperor race. Among the main evolution materials required, the first one is a resource called Extinction Thunder.

However, this resource is not redeemable in the Beast Controllers Association of Xieyun City.

Even its related information is quite scarce.

The only thing Xu Ran can know at present is that it is a wonderful rune formed by the gathering and solidification of natural thunder and lightning power, which can summon thunder and lightning that extinguishes all living things.

Runes…

Thinking of this, Xu Ran looked at the pattern on the paper again, his expression was a little different.

Could it be...such a coincidence?

"Ziyun, this thing may be related to the extermination thunder."

"Meow...meow?!" (It turns out to be the extermination thunder...what did you say?!)

Ziyun's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the piece of paper in Xu Ran's hand.

Extinction thunder!

This can be said to be the most important main material for its evolution into the emperor race.

And it is currently the only main material that has no clues about one person and three pets.

There are actually clues to it on this piece of paper? !

Thinking of this, the loss in Ziyun's eyes disappeared instantly.

The bet is up!

This wave! This wave is a win for dog betting!

"Cha?" (So, what does it have to do with the Extinction Lightning?)

Cancan on the side took a look and asked curiously.

"叏lv~" (I feel like this might be a map.)

Xingchen neighed and expressed his opinion.

"A map..." Xu Ran looked at the lines drawn on the paper in addition to the patterns, "Indeed, these lines are very much like the boundary lines on the map."

"But..." Xu Ran had a look of helplessness on his face, "The world is so big, and it may not be easy to find a place that corresponds to it."

After all, there are only lines on it, no words.

A thoughtful look appeared in Xingchen's eyes, and then he suddenly asked.

"Xi Lv?" (Is it possible that this location is not far from us?)

It recalled for a while, and found the position of the piece of paper, which happened to be the position where the overlord-level Thundergod Silent Dragon was facing after its death.

And the posture of the Thunder God Silent Dragon when it fell seemed to be filled with a bit of reluctance and nostalgia.

Therefore, it is possible that this piece of paper was left behind by the other party.

It may have been buried in the corner of the cave before, without being discovered by the guardian, but it was accidentally embedded in a newly born thunder dragon stone, revealing clues.

As an evolutionary resource of the emperor race, the level of extermination thunder is naturally very high, at least it is at the level of the overlord class, and it may even be the resource of the emperor class.

Such resources may be something that the other party also wants to obtain.

In this way, could it be that the resource was not far away from Thundergod Silent Dragon, but Thundergod Silent Dragon died unexpectedly before he could find it?

Or...could the fall of the Thunder God Silent Dragon be related to the Extinction Thunder?

At this moment, Xingchen was like a detective possessed, deducing many contents in an instant.

When Xu Ran and the other two little ones heard Xingchen's speculation, they were dumbfounded.

Can you do this?

But they had to admit that Xingchen's speculation at this moment was extremely reasonable.

Maybe...maybe...probably...

Is the Extinction Thunder Guide really not that far away from Yaomu City? !

Thinking of this, one person and three pets looked at each other, clearly seeing the excitement in their eyes.

"Meow!" (We must find it!)

Ziyun shouted and raised his paws energetically.

After finding the Extinction Thunder, you can say that your evolution progress is 20% complete!

"Tomorrow, I may have to look for the Beast Controllers Association in Yaomu City." Xu Ran carefully put the piece of paper away with a smile on his face. "They should have the most detailed map of the area."

"We compare the detailed map with this piece of paper. If the extermination mine is really nearby, we should be able to find it."

"I hope everything will go well." Xu Ran took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged on the bed, "I will continue to meditate, you can rest early."

Seeing Xu Ran quickly close his eyes and fall into deep meditation, the three little ones looked at each other.

rest?

How can we let them rest after something like this happened?

I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight!

There was nothing to say for a night, and the next day came quickly.

One thing was beyond Xu Ran's expectation.

Before he could go to Yaomu City's Beast Masters Association to find out about the nearby map, Yaomu City's Beast Masters Association had already come to visit him.

Early in the morning, two strong beastmasters with serious expressions, wearing the uniforms of the staff of the Beastmaster Association, stood in front of the Starfire Nursing Shop.

As soon as the Xinghuo Nursing Home opened its door and opened for business, they walked in side by side and stood still in front of Xu Ran.

"Hello, Mr. Xu Ran." One of the staff members showed his ID and then said politely, "I am a staff member of the Daily Dispute Resolution Center of Yaomu City Beast Controllers Association."

"Someone reported that your store maliciously detained his pet and prevented him from seeing his pet. We need to understand and inquire about this matter."

"I hope you can cooperate."
