Chapter 17: Snowy Breakthrough to Level 3, Awakened Skills Thunder and Lightning Armor!
The sun was about to set...
"Snowy, run!"
Chen Fan shouted and immediately opened the Beastmaster's Space.
A white shadow flashed in the sky, as Snowy, who had used Thunder Flash, and Chen Fan both rushed into the Vortex Teleportation Gate.
"Splash!"
Almost at the same time that Chen Fan and Snowy entered the Beastmaster's Space, a single-horned black-python rushed through the jungle behind them, carrying a violent gale.
Where the python passed, trees crisscrossed and broke, and mountain stones were crushed!
It was incredibly powerful!
But when the black python arrived, Chen Fan and Snowy had already disappeared from its sight.
"Roar!"
The Single-horned Black-python was extremely furious, opening its mouth wide and shooting out sharp and tyrannical wind blades, cutting down the surrounding big trees and collapsing them!
At this time, inside the Beastmaster's Space, Chen Fan lay on his back on the grass in a "太" shape, panting heavily.
Slime Jade was frightened, directly diving into his clothes and chattering noisily.
Snowy, on the other hand, remained calm, even leisurely running towards the small lake in the Beastmaster's Space for a few sips of water.
"When you least expect it, it just shows up!"
Chen Fan suddenly sat up and raised both hands.
In his hands, he held two strange-looking bushes.
The bush in his right hand was over half a meter tall, with grape-sized fruits covering the trunk.
Each fruit was wrapped with lightning-like patterns.
It was the Thunder Element Fruit!
The bush in Chen Fan's left hand, on the other hand, was covered with yellow-brown fruits the size of chicken eggs...
This thing was called "Itchy Fruit", and whether it was humans or monsters, contact with the juice secreted by the fruit would cause unbearable itching.
Both humans and monsters would generally avoid this thing as much as possible.
Previously, when Chen Fan saw this fruit, Feicui chattered loudly, signaling Chen Fan to stay away.
Chen Fan immediately took a photo, searched it up on Qiandu, and instantly felt like he had found a treasure!
Although this thing didn't seem to have much killing power, once the fruit was ground into powder, it would be an essential artifact for murder and arson!
When combined with Feicui's "Gale" skill, Itching Powder would blanket the sky...
No matter how strong your cultivation was, once you were affected, you'd have to kneel down and sing your surrender!
Chen Fan carefully placed the branch covered with Itchy Fruits on the edge of the Beastmaster's Space, then walked back and examined the Thunder Element Fruit.
However, even though he had just found these fruits without much effort, he had actually spent a lot of time.
Over these past two days, he had wandered around with Snowy and Feicui in search of Thunder Element Fruit, only to be chased hither and thither by a group of powerful Level 3 monsters.
If it weren't for the Beastmaster's Space, both he and Snowy would have been monster food by now.
As for Feicui... Most monsters wouldn't attack Feicui, not only because physical attacks were difficult to work, but mainly because Slimes were just too hard to eat.
However, even so, Feicui was now somewhat questioning his life choices...
Before becoming Chen Fan's Guardian Beast, Feicui's days were simple but enjoyable.
But since becoming Chen Fan's Guardian Beast, joining him and being constantly chased by Level 3 monsters, Feicui had also been scared enough.
This Master was too strange and too troublesome...
It was like he was itching for something to do, running into this kind of area and playing hide-and-seek with a group of Level 3 monsters. It was unclear what he actually wanted to do.
Feicui was really speechless.
...
In fact, Chen Fan was also quite speechless.
Of course, he knew that this area was dangerous and that he might encounter powerful monsters from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.
But he never expected that there would be so many Level 2 monsters running around and Level 3 monsters as abundant as grass... He could encounter two or three just by taking one piss.
Where could he even go to reason this out?
If it wasn't for the Beastmaster's Space, he would have died seven or eight times already.
Fortunately...
With effort comes rewards, and he finally found the Thunder Element Fruit.
Unexpectedly, there was a hot-tempered Single-horned Black-python guarding the Thunder Element Fruit!
A Level 3 Single-horned Black-python and a Level 3 Blue Scaled Demonic Fish were not the same concept at all...
Blue Scaled Demonic Fish in the Sinking Star River mainly attacked with Water Gun and Water Bubble Bomb; they weren't any more dangerous and couldn't land onshore.
Moreover, Blue Scaled Demonic Fish had weak defenses and could be pierced by Snowy's Thunder Cat Claw.
But a Level 3 Single-horned Black-python had densely packed, extremely hard scales, offering astonishing defense.
Although Snowy's Thunder Cat Claw occasionally caused the monster to suffer gashes, it wasn't fatal... And that's the problem!
Worse still, the Single-horned Black-python was also a wind attribute monster, extremely fast and capable of sharp ranged attacks like Wind Blade.
Chen Fan could only have Snowy lead the monster away, then cut the Thunder Element Fruit tree and escape.
It was a good thing that Snowy knew Thunder Flash; otherwise...
Both man and cat would have perished right there today.
"At least I've gathered all the materials."
Chen Fan cleared his scattered thoughts and brought over all the needed materials.
10 pounds of Level 2 or higher Fresh Fish Meat;
2 Level 3 Fish-type Crystal Nuclei;
1 Thunder Element Fruit over 50 years old...
With the two Crystal Nuclei set aside for now, Chen Fan used a dagger to cut the roasted fish meat into pieces, then smashed the Thunder Element Fruit like crushing a garlic clove and mixed it into the fish meat.
Upgrading a low-level Guardian Beast was relatively simple.
The slightly complicated part was probably the last step of absorbing the power of the Crystal Nuclei.
Leveling up to 5 for Goblins and Silver Moon Green Feather Birds requires much more intricate materials and steps compared to the others.
As for the Wild Savage Ape and the other three Guardian Beasts seen in the square, the materials and methods needed for leveling up are more exaggerated.
...
Chen Fan flipped the dagger over, using the hilt to mash the fish meat and Thunder element fruit into a mush.
From the side, Snowy watched silently with wide eyes.
Feicui also crawled out of Chen Fan's collar and curiously watched this scene.
"The presentation isn't the best, but it's definitely useful."
Chen Fan smiled at Snowy and said, "This is a top-notch dark cuisine by Beast-raising Master Chen Fan. You'll have to eat it all."
"No, no, no! It's like mud!" Snowy shook her head like a rattle drum.
"What mud... it's fish meat mud," Chen Fan chuckled and said, "This will help you level up to 3!"
"Level 3?" Snowy's eyes widened, full of anticipation: "I want to eat it, then I'll fight that snake!"
Having been chased by the Single-horned Black-python just now, Snowy was quite annoyed.
If she can break through to Level 3, she would have enough strength to fight the Single-horned Black-python!
"Squeak!"
Feicui looked at the "dark cuisine" with disbelief. Could this help Snowy level up to 3?
Over these past two days, no matter if it was him or Snowy, they both ate a lot of fish meat. Why hasn't their level improved?
Is it because a Thunder element fruit was added?
Feicui jumped down and circled around the thick mush of fish meat, drooling.
"No no no, you can't eat this."
Chen Fan picked Feicui up: "This was prepared for Snowy. Eating it would be useless for you."
"When we go to the Academy tomorrow, I'll collect materials to help you increase your combat power level and species level."
Feicui was stunned: "Squeak squeak squeak squeak! (What? You can help me increase my species level?)"
"Of course," Chen Fan said casually: "But don't rush, we need to find ways to make money first, so we can buy materials and help you improve your combat power level and species level."
"Let's get Snowy up to Level 3 first."
Chen Fan gestured for Snowy to come over.
Without hesitation, Snowy moved forward and started to devour the fish mush.
"Zzz!"
Little tendrils of lightning sparks escaped her mouth, giving Feicui a big fright.
In a short while, Snowy finished the pile of fish meat on the leaves and picked up a Level 3 Blue-scaled Demonic Fish Crystal Core with her little paw.
Following the same recipe and process, Snowy smoothly devoured the two Level 3 Blue-scaled Demonic Fish Crystal Cores she had.
When Chen Fan placed his hand over her head and infused her with 15 energy points...
In an instant, Lightning sparks wrapped around Snowy's whole body.
Although she still looked like the cute Ragdoll Cat, with these lightning sparks Snowy emanated a strong aura, making her majestic!
Suddenly...
An array that seemed to be carved from lightning appeared under Snowy's feet, slowly rotating.
As the array spun, stars filled the sky, centering around Snowy, converging from all directions.
Countless starlights, like streams flowing into the sea, rapidly entered Snowy's body!
After about ten minutes...
"Boom!"
A terrifying burst of qi strength erupted from Snowy's body.
Chen Fan and Feicui couldn't avoid it and were both blown away, sticking to the transparent walls of the Beastmaster's Space.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
Seeing Chen Fan and Feicui, Snowy jumped up and used a Thunder Flash to catch them: "I... I didn't mean to..."
Chen Fan rubbed his head hard, baring his teeth, but didn't forget to check Snowy's status first.
