In Locke, beast taming begins with a black pot.

back home.

Chen Xun locked the door behind him, and the first thing he did was summon the little black pot.

The little black pot had barely landed when it happily spun around in place.

pat!

The pot lid was lifted a crack, and a small green poisonous bubble sprayed out, almost floating onto Chen Xun's face.

Chen Xun reacted quickly and slapped the bubble to burst it.

He frowned as he looked at the faint green smoke remaining in the air.

It's too conspicuous!

The green skill effects are hard to miss among the orthodox attributes of red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

In particular, as Old Man Han just reminded us, the Black Tower organization has been very active in Jiangcheng recently, specifically targeting those who possess special spirits.

If someone discovers that the little black pot can spray out green poisonous bubbles, then we'll be in big trouble.

"We need to find a way to change the green color."

Chen Xun stroked his chin and circled the small black pot twice.

"Why did you have to spray green of all things?"

Chen Xun poked the lid of the small black pot: "If you spray out some yellowish-brown mud, who would know you're a poison user?"

"People will think you're just an ordinary earth-type character, mainly focused on defense. Who would have guessed you're actually a poison master?"

The little black pot shook its lid, making a "glug-glug" sound, looking quite innocent.

Stop grumbling and get back to practicing!

Chen Xun moved a small stool and sat opposite it: "Today our goal is to change the green poison bubbles into yellowish-brown mud bubbles."

"If you don't master this training, you can forget about eating the Spicy Energy Fruit tonight!"

Upon hearing that there was no food, the little black pot immediately became anxious and hurriedly shook the lid.

"Alright, ready, first shot!"

At Chen Xun's command, Xiao Heiguo took a deep breath.

Although it has no nose.

The pot lid was suddenly ripped open.

puff~

A soft sound.

The small black pot sprayed out a green poisonous bubble.

The bubbles slowly floated to the wall.

boo~

The poisonous bubble burst, leaving a small, charred pit on the wall.

"No, it's still green, too glaring!"

Chen Xun shook his head.

The little black pot drooped its lid sadly, making a low "glug" sound.

"Don't feel bad, try again."

Chen Xun softened, took out a spicy energy fruit from his pocket, and held it to its mouth: "I'll give you a treat first. Train hard, and there will be more if you train well."

The little black pot swallowed the energy fruit in one gulp, instantly regaining its full power, and even the pot lid shone a little brighter.

"Second shot!"

"puff……"

Another green bubble.

"Third shot!"

"puff……"

It's still green.

"Fourth shot! Fifth shot! Sixth shot!"

……

Half an hour later, the ground was covered with the marks of bursting bubbles, and the walls were pitted and scarred from the smoke.

The small black pot sprayed so hot that the pot itself became very hot.

It is operating at a significantly high load.

But the bubbles that were sprayed out were still a bright green.

Chen Xun was also exhausted.

The little black pot was bowing its head, its lid almost touching the ground, making a soft "gurgling" sound, like a child who had done something wrong.

Looking at its pitiful appearance, Chen Xun's anger instantly dissipated.

Why get angry over a pot?

He reached out and gently touched the warm lid of the small black pot: "Take a break."

The little black pot trembled slightly, then lifted its lid and rubbed it against Chen Xun's palm.

You touched the lid of the little black pot, increasing your affinity by 5 points. Current affinity: 80 (Intimacy)

Chen Xun looked at the prompts on the panel, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Actually, this little guy is quite hardworking.

For the past half hour, it hasn't stopped for a moment, spraying so much that the pot is almost smoking, but it hasn't complained of being tired.

"Here, have another one."

Chen Xun took out another energy fruit: "Let's practice slowly, there are still three days until the awakening ceremony anyway."

The little black pot swallowed the energy fruit in one gulp and its spirits lifted.

Chen Xun stroked his chin, staring at a small mud stain on the little black pot, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

"I'm such an idiot!"

He slapped his thigh, almost scaring the little black pot so much that it sprayed poisonous bubbles all over his face.

"Why do we have to change the color of the poison bubble? We can just give it a disguise!"

The little black pot tilted its lid slightly and made a puzzled "glug?" sound.

"You forgot you also have the Earth attribute!"

Chen Xun excitedly pointed to its pot: "You can condense mud armor, so could you coat the poison bubbles with a layer of mud, keeping the green poison inside? From the outside, it would look like a yellowish-brown mud bubble, and no one could tell that there's poison inside!"

The lid of the little black pot suddenly lit up, as if its meridians had been suddenly opened.

Yup!

How could it not have thought of that!

"Come on, give it a try!"

Chen Xun rubbed his hands together, looking expectant: "First, gather some mud, then encapsulate the poison bubbles inside."

The small black pot took a deep breath, and its body vibrated slightly. A thin layer of yellowish-brown mud seeped out from the bottom of the pot.

Immediately afterwards, the lid was lifted a crack, and a small green poisonous bubble slowly floated out.

Just as the poison bubble was about to fly away, the layer of mud suddenly rushed up and wrapped tightly around the poison bubble like plastic wrap.

The originally bright green bubbles instantly turned yellowish-brown, looking exactly like ordinary mud bubbles.

"It's done!"

Chen Xun clapped his hands excitedly.

The yellowish-brown bubbles slowly floated to the wall.

It exploded with a "pop".

The mud from the outside splattered all over the wall, and the green venom inside instantly seeped out, burning a small, charred pit in the wall, emitting wisps of white smoke.

perfect!

Its exterior is a harmless earth-type mud bubble, but inside is a deadly poison.

Even if you saw it with your own eyes, you would only think it was an ordinary earth-type attack skill, let alone that ordinary detectors could not detect it.

"Wow, that little black pot is awesome!"

Chen Xun reached out and rubbed the pot lid.

[You praised Little Black Pot, Intimacy +3, Current Intimacy: 83 (Intimacy)]

[Little Black Pot Unlocks Combo Skill: Mud Poison Bubble]

The little black pot spun around triumphantly, its lid opening and closing with a "clapping" sound, as if it were clapping.

"A few more, please!"

Chen Xun pulled out a handful of spicy energy fruits and slammed them on the table: "Once you've mastered them, they're all yours!"

With the encouragement of delicious food, the little black pot was full of energy.

Puff puff……

One after another, yellowish-brown mud bubbles sprayed out of the pot lid, hitting the same spot on the wall with pinpoint accuracy.

In less than ten minutes, Xiao Heiguo was already proficient in using this combination of skills.

The bubbles that sprayed out were indistinguishable from real mud bubbles.

Even at the moment of explosion, the green venom will only seep silently beneath the mud, and will be completely undetectable unless you look closely.

"Perfect!"

Chen Xun nodded in satisfaction and pushed all the energy fruits to the little black pot: "This is your reward, plenty for tonight!"

With a cheer, the little black pot plunged into the pile of energy fruits and began to gulp them down, its body steaming with fragrant, spicy heat.

The whole room was filled with the smell of hot pot broth.
