Chapter 5 Novice Trial Secret Realm

Lu Ran ignored the excited Mr. Ha in sunglasses.

In addition to weapons and amulets, he also prepared some wound medicine, mineral water, snacks and some wilderness survival props.

Although I don’t know if I can use it, it’s not wrong to have it with me.

It's just a little overweight...but that's not a big problem. At worst, you can throw it away at a critical moment.

In this way, with Lu Ran's constant preparation and constant lectures to Mr. Ha, time passed little by little.

"Do you really understand?"

"The contract has strengthened your body, why don't you feel that your IQ has not been strengthened at the same time?"

During this period, Lu Ran looked tiredly at Mr. Ha who couldn't wait and felt a headache.

For example, he said that the next enemy might be a creature they had never seen before and they needed to be careful, but Mr. Ha kept showing disdain.

What does this mean?

Lu Ran's heart felt cold.

He had a bad feeling, but there were still a few minutes left in the countdown, so he couldn't think too much about it.

"Okay, that's it."

"You come back first." Lu Ran summoned the black card. This black card could be put into his body at this time, or he could summon it out at any time.

As the time travel was about to begin, Lu Ran first took Mr. Ha back into the black card, and then put the black card away. In this way, at least he didn't have to worry about being separated from Mr. Ha due to the teleportation.

"Ouch!" Mr. Ha entered the black card, and Lu Ran began to close his eyes and rest.

Even though my eyes were closed, the countdown was still clearly visible in front of my eyes.

Time continues to pass...

Three...two...one...As the last second came, Lu Ran couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, he is just a high school student.

At the same time, at this moment, ripples in space appeared. Where Lu Ran was, the space twisted like a whirlpool. Through the rapid distortion, Lu Ran's figure was swallowed up and disappeared into the room.

However, although Lu Ran disappeared, the backpack he was carrying and the Zantetsu Sword he was holding tightly were not transported.

Except for the necessary clothes and the amulet hanging around his neck, all foreign objects, even food and drink, were left behind.

…

Lu Ran felt as if his body was constantly experiencing overweight and weightlessness. He never expected that the teleportation process would be so uncomfortable. After the shaking feeling disappeared, Lu Ran found that he had really arrived in a new place.

He opened his eyes.

What comes into view is a dark dense forest.

Before he could take a closer look, familiar words and sounds appeared again.

[Transmission completed. 】

[Current location: Demon Cat Forest (Novice Trial Secret Realm)]

[Difficulty: Easy]

[Trial mission: Survive for one day. 】

[Introduction to the secret realm: The Forest of Demonic Cats is a natural maze formed by a variety of trees. It is rich in resources and was once home to many extraordinary creatures.

Twenty years ago, a strange black rainstorm caused the creatures in the forest to mutate, launching a wave of beasts in surrounding towns.

The empire's beast-controlling army reacted quickly, suppressed the beast tide, and cleared the forest of powerful mutant creatures.

After twenty years of recovery, only the demon cat clan and some weak extraordinary creatures are still active here, and the forest has been renamed the Forest of Demon Cats.

As a new beast master, you entered this place by mistake. Your biggest task at the moment is to survive and wait for rescue. 】

[Tip 1: This secret realm is a projection of the Forest of Demonic Cats, and internal resources and creatures cannot be taken out or contracted. 】

[Tip ②: Depending on the trialist’s combat performance in the secret realm, different levels of rewards can be obtained after completing the mission. 】

[Tip 3: When the tester falls into a near-death state, the task will be judged as failed and forced to return. 】

[Tip 4: The trialist temporarily obtains the eye of data, which can detect the internal resources and biological information of the secret realm. 】

[I wish you a happy adventure and the trial begins! 】

"I see." Seeing prompt three, Lu Ran felt that the creator of the black card seemed quite humane.

But not much.

Although the tester is about to die and will be forcibly teleported away, which is very considerate, the problem is that even if he is sent back, he may not receive treatment, just like the poster. Moreover, there is a greater possibility that the tester He didn't even have a chance to enter a near-death state, and was instantly killed.

The human body is very fragile.

In addition, is this secret realm a projection of another world? Black Rainstorm... Beast Tide... Damn, it doesn't sound like a novice copy.

Still have to be careful, it’s impossible to be happy...

"Uh-huh!!"

Lu Ran summoned Mr. Ha again and said at the same time:

"We couldn't bring weapons and supplies. Lu Ran was sorry, but he had already been mentally prepared not to bring those things.

"According to the prompts, all the enemies and resources in this place are illusory. I don't know if I can find food here and cannot take it out. But can I use it here?"

"Wow." Mr. Ha came back with his mind empty. He did not follow Lu Ran's analysis and think, but ran around happily.

Lu Ran was silent, damn it, do something serious, Mr. Ha, this is not a walk!

"I said..." Lu Ran was about to say something.

swish swish...

Suddenly, a voice sounded, interrupting Lu Ran's thoughts. Lu Ran's expression condensed and he looked around cautiously.

"Uh-huh." Mr. Ha, who was circling Lu Ran, also became alert, as if he smelled something dangerous.

Something is approaching!

It stopped quickly, tensed its whole body, and protected Lu Ran.

The surroundings were extremely dark, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight passing through the leaves and falling on the ground. The rustling sound in the extremely silent dense forest continued to grow louder.

Lu Ran, standing on the somewhat damp ground, wanted to determine where the sound came from, but in the end, he failed to determine it successfully. Instead, Mr. Ha locked onto one direction the whole time and looked at that direction seriously.

"There?" Lu Ran looked at the half-man-high black bushes.

The rustling sound continued, and finally, as the sound became clearer, the bushes in front of Lu Ran and Mr. Ha were directly pulled apart.

The creature that suddenly appeared let out a series of low roars, and its red eyes stared at Lu Ran and Mr. Ha on the opposite side, and the cruelty in its eyes could not be hidden.

At the same time, Mr. Ha's hair exploded all over his body, and he also howled loudly at the creature that appeared!

"Woof!"

Dare to be fierce to them, it will remember this grudge.

This is...

Lu Ran's eyes were stern. This is a dark red body with a very thin body, extremely long claws, and a cat-shaped creature with long gray hair on its head!

Demon cat!

[Race]: Demon cat

[Attribute]: Unawakened

[Race level]: Intermediate extraordinary

[Growth level]: Level 2

[Introduction]: A bloody hunter in the dense forest who likes to tear open the opponent's body to extract blood.

The data eye that Lu Ran temporarily obtained took effect.

Staring at the demon cat, all the information about the demon cat soon emerged.

"Race level, according to my understanding, is the strength of the race. Tigers are stronger than cats and dogs, and cats and dogs are stronger than small herbivores such as rabbits. The race level of this demon cat is the same as that of Mr. Ha, and Mr. Ha does not have an advantage."

"And the growth level is most likely linked to the growth stage, similar to the infancy and growth period. The higher the level, the stronger the physical fitness of the body. Mr. Ha is only level 1, but it is level 2. It's not good."

In an instant, Lu Ran judged that this guy was not easy to mess with. He didn't look like a monster used to give novices practical experience.

As the two sides confronted each other, the atmosphere became more and more solidified. Lu Ran held his breath, observed the surrounding environment, and tried to calm himself as much as possible.

If the novice task is to survive for a day, there is no need to fight this guy head-on, especially when you just enter the secret realm.

If you want to survive for a day, it is better to find supplies and go to a safe place, stay for a day, avoid some unnecessary battles, and only fight some unavoidable battles to save your energy.

At present...

If you turn around and run away, if it goes smoothly, you may be able to avoid a battle, but if you stimulate the opponent's hunting nature and the opponent catches up, no matter whether you escape successfully or not, you will be very passive in this unknown forest and waste a lot of energy.

At present, the best choice is... to scare the opponent away!

Next, after careful consideration, Lu Ran made a move that surprised both Mr. Ha and the demon cat.

Lu Ran looked at the demon cat solemnly, suddenly spread his arms to make himself look bigger, and roared at the demon cat!

"Ula!!" Lu Ran shouted, trying to scare the opponent away.

His father, who often dealt with wild animals, had told him that if you encounter a ferocious beast in the wild, it is best not to turn around and run away, but to look it in the face and show your momentum, so that you can die with more dignity.

And, if you are lucky, if the beast does not know humans very well, there is a very small chance that it will scare it away.

However, after completing a set of intimidation moves, Lu Ran always felt that the atmosphere seemed to be even more wrong.

Mr. Ha showed a confused expression.

After the demon cat's facial expression twisted for a while, it roared and suddenly burst out and attacked Lu Ran.

Lu Ran couldn't help but curse, which step was wrong? In addition, his telepathy seemed to be ineffective against this phantom!

The demon cat's movements were very sensitive, but fortunately Lu Ran was also strengthened and could see its movements clearly.

At this point, Lu Ran gave up other ideas and planned to face the demon cat directly. Just a cat, he didn't know how many cats he had caught in the past ten years.

Even a little tiger, he had picked it up by pinching it.

No, that's not right. He is now a beastmaster, and he needs to gradually become familiar with commanding pets to fight, rather than fighting in person.

"Boss Ha! Save me!" Lu Ran shouted, realizing his identity.

"Confine it first! I'll find a weapon!"

At the same time, the confused Boss Ha also followed the action of the demon cat and looked sharp, and pounced on the attacking demon cat.

Between the two figures, Lu Ran, who took a step back to look for sticks, stones and other weapons, only heard a scream.

"Meow!!" The shrill scream accompanied by a low roar echoed in the dense forest, causing Lu Ran to look quickly.

Then, he saw Boss Ha pressing the demon cat to the ground, biting its throat, roaring domineeringly, and countless blood splashed.

The demon cat, which looked extremely difficult to mess with, was killed by a single blow.

"Uh..." Lu Ran was stunned in place, feeling that it was not right to take the stone at his feet, and it was not right not to take it.

So, what was the purpose of his battle of wits and courage with the demon cat after analyzing it for a long time just now?

I...seem to have made some mistakes in my assessment of the combat power of the strengthened Ha Zong and the demon cat.

"Uh-woo!" At this moment, Ha Zong, who was standing far away, turned his head and called out, looking at Lu Ran, as if to say, so relaxed, like a god of war.

Lu Ran pondered.

It was tricked.

Something was wrong, could it be that there was also a gap between the middle-level extraordinary?

And the gap between level 1 and level 2 is not as big as I thought?

Judging from the size, this demon cat is indeed more than one level lower than Mr. Ha.

Sure enough, in nature, size determines combat power to a large extent! Well...

"Awesome, worthy of being trained by me." Lu Ran could only comment, he really didn't expect that Mr. Ha in normal state could be so powerful.

"Woof!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Ha showed a wise expression, what are you talking about, I don't understand.
