I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer

Lu Yuan sat in front of the podium, opened his notebook, and used the slow Internet connection to search for information on domestic pets.

After entering the four words "Whirlwind Mantis", the search answer given by Yanguo Knowledge Network was none.

Lu Yuan did not end there, but thought of another possibility.

Perhaps the whirlwind mantis has changed its name since its evolution, after all, it has been five eras.

There are more than a hundred evolutionary routes for one-star mantis beasts, which are subdivided into specific types of breeding plans, and will extend to a variety of feeding and training methods.

At this time, the chef Dali had already prepared two pots of meat. Lu Yuan asked Dabai to eat the meat first. While there was still time, he ate while browsing the website briefly.

Among these more than one hundred evolutionary routes, there may be a mantis beast that can perform whirlwind slash.

After looking all the way, I found that there was no suitable candidate among the combat pets.

Instead, he found a pet that matched his style among non-combat pets.

The whirlwind mantis of the First Era attacked by spinning its entire body, using its front limbs as weapons and the remaining four legs as spare swords.

The mantis beast that Lu Yuan found is called Tumbleweed Mantis, not Tornado Mantis.

It got its name from the one-star Mantis Beast who visualized tumbleweeds and realized the two-star skill "Wind Roll".

The Tumbleweed Mantis Beast can roll its entire body into a ball, using wind power to form a circular shell that can more than double the acceleration of its entire body's rolling, thus achieving rapid maneuverability.

Generally speaking, this skill is used for escape.

The upper limit of Tumbleweed Mantis is also very limited, with only two-star potential and poor combat capabilities. It belongs to the useless evolutionary branch.

"If I can get the evolution formula of the cyclone mantis, and learn from the modern breeding ideas of the tumbleweed mantis, maybe I can replicate the cyclone mantis of ancient times."

Lu Yuan paid to download a detailed cultivation paper and looked at its cultivation ideas and what cultivation materials were used.

There is no doubt that the whirlwind mantis is an evolutionary line from ancient times. If it can evolve in this life, it may trigger the evolutionary phenomenon of "atavism".

As long as he can bring out the light of atavism, he will have the confidence to write the paper on "Atavism Evolution", which will be 100% passable and more than enough to be published in a level five journal.

Lu Yuan was thinking about his graduation project and finished his breakfast without realizing it.

“Ah!”

Outside the door, the Nian beast Dabai also finished his breakfast and wagged his tail, telling his owner that it was time to go to bed.

Practicing in reality would be a waste of time. If it weren’t for the meals and teaching students, Lu Yuan even wanted to cook the dishes in his dreams.

It’s a pity that it’s useless to bring food from real life into dreams.

Last time, Lu Yuan brought a pot of meat soup into his dream.

After waking up from the dream, the pot of meat soup was still in the room, untouched. It had been cold for a long time, and Lu Yuan was hungry.

He didn't feel hungry before he woke up from the dream, but he felt hungry after he woke up.

This shows that he can bring real objects into his dreams, but don't expect to fill his stomach.

There is no problem for the people in the dream to eat the food he brings. After all, they are all people in the dream and there is no condition for waking up.

"Everyone, the teacher is going to be busy now. I will come back and sit for another hour in the afternoon when I am free."

The students are very self-disciplined and will study even when the teacher is not present.

Lu Yuan left the classroom amidst the voices of "Goodbye, teacher" and returned to the dormitory building. The invisible Dabai walked around outside and after making sure that no one was watching, he went into Lu Yuan's room.

After looking at the Tumbleweed Mantis Beast, Lu Yuan looked at the breeding information of the Mountain Mantis, and then brought two bowls of broth.

The next second, the man and the beast returned to the ancient village in the dream with two bowls of meat soup and came to Jiang Bo's house.

"Uncle Jiang, this is for you. Eat it quickly. There will be more for next time."

Lu Yuan handed the broth to the old man. The old man was at a loss and felt the preciousness of the broth.

If I had meat soup to drink every day... could I ever repay the favors I owe to others in this lifetime?

Dabai held a bowl of broth on his head, lowered his head, and placed it in front of the girl.

Jiang Xue opened her eyes wide. She was not really afraid of the Nian beast. She was more afraid of Dabai's silly and cute look and the swinging black tail that looked so adorable in her eyes.

"Thank you, Dabai."

She plucked up the courage to talk to Dabai and took the exquisite pottery bowl handed to her by him.

"Ouch——"

Dabai happily wagged his big tail to express his inner joy.

Uncle Jiang didn't dare to touch the Nian beast, but Jiang Xue was very happy. In her opinion, this was a bold attempt, proving that the Nian beast could also be cute and not just an evil man-eating monster.

What the two of them didn't know was that the Nian beast Dabai had been their family since childhood.

Don't be fooled by its huge appearance and blood-red eyes. In fact, it just looks fierce, but it is actually a very soft-hearted person.

Lu Yuan did not waste any time. After the two of them drank the broth, he quickly traveled through time again, returned to reality and asked Dabai to drink up the two bowls of real broth. Then he traveled back to the dream and used all his strength to digest the evil spirits.

Lu Yuan himself does not need to digest the evil spirits. Practicing the beast-taming technique also requires time and opportunity. It does not need to be practiced all the time.

He recalled the breeding materials he had just read and said, "Where is the mantis egg case you brought back?"

"Master Lu, here."

Uncle Jiang hurried into the house and took out the branch with the egg sheath on it.

There are two black egg cases on this branch, which are expected to produce ten larvae.

It should be noted that the larva is not equal to a one-star mantis beast.

Pet cultivation is a long process. From a larva to a one-star pet, it also needs to go through the test of life before the skill star can be awakened.

Only when you possess the first star in your sea of ​​consciousness can you be considered to have entered the realm of a one-star pet.

Before this, they were just ordinary insects without any extraordinary abilities and their physiques were quite fragile. It was possible that a temperature drop of just a dozen degrees could freeze the mantis larvae to death.

This is a common defect of Zerg pets, and the lower limit is extremely low.

Many Zerg pets died in their larval stage and never made it to the stage of being promoted to one star.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan saw Jiang Xue's curious baby expression, and thought of this poor rural environment, where it would be very difficult to learn knowledge.

As a teacher, he subconsciously popularized the science:

“As we all know, the Zerg’s lower limit is very low. They are so weak that they may freeze to death when the winter wind blows.

"But correspondingly, the Zerg's potential is the highest among all the races, not inferior to the mythical beasts."

At this point, the old man showed a puzzled expression.

I don’t understand what Master Lu said. Aren’t insects a very weak race? The most powerful insect pet is only four stars, right?

Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, and she was eager to learn. She asked with great anticipation, "So how many stars can it be promoted to at most?"

"Mountain Mantis is the name of the Mantis Beast during its two-star period. If you want to continue to advance, you must start by stimulating the ancient bloodline and tap into higher potential for advancement.

"By using this method to continuously develop potential and break through the upper limit of one's own lifespan, the Zerg can be promoted to ten stars at most."

Lu Yuan paused and said that the word "ten stars" might sound a bit pretentious to the locals.

But he thought that if he said it too low, Jiang Xue's future thinking might be limited to this area and she would not be able to reach a higher level.

So he decided to tell the truth.

At least in his world, ten stars is the recognized upper limit of the star rating.

But no one knows whether this is the limit of the world.
