My tamed beasts can't be demons.

Chapter 92 Because I didn't want to hatch, I maxed out my defense (35 chapters, please subscribe!!!)

I have few contracted spirit pets.

Don't lie to me.

For a moment, Zhou Lu felt like he had been scammed.

However, when he saw the information about the egg displayed on the blank Beast Taming Card, his concerns were dispelled.

Name: [Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon]

Attribute: Unknown

grade:???

Rank: ? ? ?

Skill:? ? ?

This is a preview of the Beast Taming Card, which is the information you can see after the other party agrees to the contract. However, to see more, you must complete the contract.

Actually, Zhou Lu was somewhat hesitant at this point.

He wanted to form a contract with the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon because of information from the system mission. The system told him that Zhou Lu's second favorite was the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon.

However, Zhou Lu knew very well that he didn't actually know what kind of second pet he wanted.

However, it must be said that Jiunan Zhulong's racial skills are indeed quite suitable for him.

[Dragon Talisman]: A racial skill of the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon. In Dragon Transformation state of Tier 1 or higher, you are unaffected by skills other than your own or your teammates'. ① This skill can be activated when you and your teammates are affected by attribute amplification effects, increasing the attribute amplification by an additional 15% and doubling the duration of the amplification. ② Limited to once per day, after the attribute amplification effect you and your teammates receive ends, you can permanently grant them a 3% bonus to their attributes from that amplification.

Many skill descriptions mention "you and your teammates".

This concept generally refers to the Beastmaster to whom the spirit pet belongs, as well as all the spirit pets under his command.

This means that as long as Zhou Lu forms a contract with the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon, then both he and Hua Huo will permanently increase their attributes as long as they are affected by the attribute amplification effect.

Zhou Lu happens to have two attribute-enhancing skills: [Body Feeding] and [Reverse Feeding].

Both skills can only be used once a day. The former doubles one of Firework's attributes, while the latter grants Zhou Lu a 30% attribute bonus from a designated spirit pet.

Although the 3% permanent bonus provided by the [Dragon Talisman] may seem small, given enough time, Zhou Lu or Hua Huo can grow to a terrifying level.

Incidentally, Fireworks' [Absorption] skill also provides attribute bonuses.

However, the benefits of [Absorb] + [Dragon Talisman] are not high; it would be more suitable to use it for [Body Feeding] or [Return Feeding].

It seems really good...

Seeing Zhou Lu deep in thought, Hua Huo curiously approached him.

Zhou Lu glanced at the lovely fireworks.

Yes, Hanabi also likes this egg very much.

The two of them will definitely have a lot of fun together!

Having figured all this out, Zhou Lu no longer hesitated.

He clicked on the blank Beast Taming Card and began to form a contract with Egg.

Egg did not resist.

It was exhausted from the fireworks and had no energy left to resist.

It's just becoming a human's spirit pet...

It's not like we're going through fire and water, what's there to be afraid of?

Accompanied by the light of the contract, Zhou Lu felt the connection between himself and the egg.

"From now on, I'll call you Benben." Zhou Lu, who was terrible at coming up with names, even thought his name was pretty good.

Benben immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: [Please! This name is so inelegant!]

Well, although Benben can speak human language, it is unable to communicate effectively with humans because it has not yet hatched and does not have vocal organs.

On the contrary, Fireworks, because of the unique sensory abilities of plant spirit beasts, can communicate with Egg without any hindrance.

Upon hearing Benben's words, Hanabi immediately patted Benben with a leaf as a warning: [Just answer whatever your master calls you.]

As she spoke, Huahuo picked up Benben and began to play happily with him.

Um... okay, it doesn't really count as playing around.

Besides taking a bird egg, Hanabi also picked a lot of nuts along the way.

Since we can't eat eggs, let's eat nuts instead.

Doesn't it happen to have a handy tool in its hand?

Bang Bang!

Fireworks picked up Benben and started happily cracking nuts.

Seeing Hanabi's behavior, Zhou Lu said helplessly, "Don't treat Benben like that."

Hanabi, holding up Benben, pointed with her vines and declared confidently, "[It has no objections!]"

[I have a problem with this!]

[Hmm~!]

Okay, I have no objection.

Fireworks continued cracking nuts, even wiggling its body merrily.

Benben wanted to refute it.

But for some reason, it even felt a little bit comfortable during the process.

You're despicable! You're so vile!

Benben began to doubt himself.

Zhou Lu sensed Benben's emotions and found that he was indeed not depressed or angry, but even a little happy.

Um... is this the Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon?

That makes sense. After all, they have to go through so many trials and tribulations inside the egg to evolve, so they might actually enjoy smashing nuts.

Thinking this, Zhou Lu looked at the clumsy Beast Taming Card.

******

Name: [Nine Difficulties Candle Dragon]

Attribute: Unknown

Level: 10 (not calculated)

Rank: First Rank (Transformation Period)

Skills: [Dragon Rune], [Harden], [Sturdiness], [Stone Skin Reflection], [Immovable as a Mountain]...

******

Holy crap! This idiot has so many skills by itself?

At that moment, Zhou Lu felt like he had hit the jackpot.

It's important to know that even Hanabi mastered so many skills by relying on [Absorption] and the constant infusion of her own skill cards.

But Benben has all of this by default!

But after Zhou Lu looked at Benben's skills, he fell into a long silence.

[Harden]: Inherent skill. After activation, your defense increases by 15% for three minutes.

【Sturdy】: Inherent skill, your defense permanently increases by 10%.

【Stone Skin】: Inherent skill, ① Your defense is permanently increased by 12%; ② You can actively activate this skill to repel surrounding objects.

【Immovable as a Mountain】: Inherent skill. After activation, you cannot act. Within five minutes, your defense increases by 60%.

……

Your egg is a bit strange...

Why are all the skills related to defense?

You seem to want to cram all your skills into defense, don't you?

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Lu thought of Benben's [Dragon Talisman] skill.

Limited to once a day, it can grant you a permanent attribute boost.

I don't know how long Benben has been alive.

If it has been born long enough, with such cumulative growth over the years, its defenses have probably increased to a terrifying level.

What's going on with you?

Could it be that you maxed out your defense because you didn't want to get hurt?

Zhou Lu thought of the introduction in the system task.

No wonder the system quest says that Benben is Hanabi's weapon.

With such defensive capabilities, it would be a waste not to use it as a weapon to smash people.

At the same time, Zhou Lu immediately figured out the future development direction for Benben.

Look at this defensive capability; there are at least two types of skills that Benben absolutely needs to learn.

The first skill to learn is, of course, taunt skills, which instantly transform Benben into a main tank that pulls monsters.

Since there's taunting, there should naturally be skills that reflect damage.

Ideally, you should rely on skills that reflect damage based on your own defensive attributes.

Zhou Lu could already imagine the scene of those enemies being mocked and hacking away at an egg.

The most amazing thing is that the more they slash, the more blood they lose themselves.

Just then, the rain stopped, and the thunder ceased.

It's likely that the battle over there has ended.

I'll finish the next two chapters this afternoon!

thanks for your support!
