【Horn of the Void Slug (Four-star Mid-tier): A lifeform born in the Void Ecosystem. It resembles a common slug, is purple all over, and has a special purple horn.
It survives by devouring minerals condensed in the Void Turbulence and digests them with a special mucus in its body.
Sotis, it will camouflage itself as a rock to prey on small Void Creatures that pass by, often swallowing them whole to enjoy the pleasure of life struggling before death.
They mostly appear in family units but do not like to gather in large groups, as they believe it affects the distribution of food resources.
The Void Slug can absorb Void Energy through the horn on its head, activating a special Void Force Field to quickly adapt to the void environnt and reduce the damage it takes from Void Turbulence.
A powerful Void Slug can manipulate Void Storms with its force field and cause prey that enters it to suffer from Corrosion, slowing their movent speed. When its proficiency reaches the pinnacle, it can shatter the force field to deal imnse damage.
When made into a Skill Secret Food, consuming it grants the top-tier high-tier skill "Void Force Field".】
A Void-type skill that was a perfect fit for Little Spider.
After Little Spider advanced to the Commander Rank, it was also ti for it to enter the Void and forage for Space Fragnts.
A mature pet beast would find its own food!
Except for Little Mouse, it was shaless!
However, the Void Ecology was different from other ecologies.
Most ecologies could accommodate weak lifeforms, but the Void was filled with all sorts of Void Storms, making it extrely dangerous.
Even lifeforms that lived there year-round would be shredded to pieces if they accidentally entered a powerful Void Turbulence.
A true Land of Absolute Death!
Therefore, the longer a Void-type demonic beast lived in it, the more terrifying it beca!
The skill Void Force Field could reduce the intensity of Void Turbulence and allow for quick adaptation to the void environnt, which was perfect for exploring the Void later. At the sa ti, its offensive capability was also decent, acting like a field skill to achieve an AOE (Area of Effect) damage output.
For non-Void-type pet beasts, it was simply a nightmare.
Chiyue Honglian was afraid Lu Yu didn't know about the related abilities.
After finishing her introduction, she looked at Little Spider, who had woven a small boat out of Spider Silk and was playing a rafting ga, and said:
"Your Little Spider has excellent strength and potential, but if you want to further increase its potential, it needs to enter the Void and devour real Space Fragnts. They contain the Void Elents that will help it grow.
If you encounter a weak Void Turbulence, you can try letting it enter with the 【Horn of the Void Force Field Beast】 to avoid injury. Raising its Perception of space inside will be very beneficial for its future developnt."
Chiyue Honglian didn't know that the man before her possessed the Power of Taboo Secret Food and could directly usurp Racial Skills, so she just gave her own advice.
"Thank you!"
Lu Yu sincerely thanked the President and Chiyue Honglian. After all, the reward they had agreed on before was only a Morning Star Rank material.
But even among Morning Star materials, the price difference between different attributes was huge. Space-type materials were especially rare, valuable enough to be worth two materials of the Elents-type.
And since it had been delayed for so ti, it must have taken a lot of effort to procure it from different places.
Chiyue Honglian saw Lu Yu's expression, and the corners of her lips curled up in a smug smile.
Stupid Younger Sister, it still takes your Big Sister to step in and personally teach you how to date!
Hearing this, Chiyue ng's ahoge swayed, and she said calmly:
"Mhm, it's a pity we couldn't find a material for Void Skin."
Actually, she had initially wanted to go ho and get sothing.
There was a top-tier Void material inside, a part of her mother's Collection Items, but Lilith had grabbed her tightly just as she was about to act.
Before even getting married, you're already planning to empty out the family's good stuff, truly a Leaky Little Padded Jacket!
Lilith didn't know if anything would happen to Chiyue ng, but she would definitely be dismantled and burned as firewood by a True King.
Lilith was hot, but she didn't want to be burned.
So, it went through great pains, using its Silver Tongue to find a bunch of excuses to barely stop Chiyue ng, making even a Wooden Cabinet like itself feel numb.
Ever since Chiyue ng t Lu Yu, she had beco more and more outrageous by the day, which also exhausted her…
Forget it, just let the world burn!
"Thank you, President. This is already very good and has solved my urgent problem!"
Lu Yu replied with a smile.
As for 【Void Skin】, he knew about it too. It was a Void-type super-tier skill, also known as Child of the Void.
Every lifeform that possessed this skill was favored by the Will of the Void, able to travel freely through the Void without fear of most Void Turbulence.
It could wantonly absorb Void Energy to strengthen itself, possessed extrely strong defense, and boosted the power of all space-type skills.
Most importantly, it was a passive skill!
And it would continue to grow!
However, such pet beasts were extrely rare, each one at least a top-tier Void Overlord Monster.
It was incredibly difficult to encounter one in the vast and endless Void Ecology.
The key was that the opponent could run even if it couldn't win.
Therefore, related materials were extrely rare.
They would be snatched up the mont they appeared on the market!
"But next ti, if I use the Gluttony Cauldron to get a Luck Attribute skill, I could go for a stroll in the Void Ecology…"
Lu Yu thought to himself, beginning to plan a team building activity in the Void.
After soaking in the hot spring for half an hour, even those with strong physiques felt a little hot, especially Little Mouse.
It was so hungry that its chest was sticking to its back, and it let out a Hungry Mouse's Roar.
"Awooo~"
However, it forgot it was still in its Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant form.
Its cry was like the Wailing of Ghosts and Howling of Wolves as Dragon Qi swept out, shaking the barrier.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
"Not good!"
Chiyue Honglian beca a little anxious when she saw this.
Although she was wearing a swimsuit, it was still too bold. A Brother-in-law is Half of an Older Sister's Butt; it was fine if he saw it.
But an outsider absolutely could not.
Before she could act, Little Mouse was bound, packaged, and tossed aside by Little Spider, turning into a Mouse Worm, struggling to roll and crawl on the ground.
"Ying! Yinging!"
Little Spider, on the other hand, showed an embarrassed expression and kept apologizing.
Although Little Spider was usually very gentle, it would still act like an Eldest Sister at critical monts and would never let Little Mouse beco a bratty child.
"Is this Hamster's head only filled with gluttony and sese now? Has the Secret Ritual's Side Effect of amplifying desire not ended yet? Or has it just revealed its true nature…"
Lu Yu gave it an Eye Roll, but he was indeed a little hungry, so everyone got up and went to the changing room to change their clothes.
Along the way, nurous pretty young girls dressed as maids served them and guided the way.
If Lu Yu hadn't refused, these maids would have even co in to help them change.
Tsk, the corrupt life of a capitalist!
It wasn't that Lu Yu was being prudish, but the two little ones were still around.
He had to maintain his positive image.
Besides, after having been to Joy Street, things like this just felt like they were lacking sothing.
The taste of a fish-man, it was truly wonderful!
Afterward, Lu Yu arrived at the Hot Spring Mountain Villa's restaurant, in an elegantly and exquisitely decorated open-air private room. He could see the small volcano not far away, which was emitting wisps of black smoke.
With better eyesight, one could even see scattered demonic beasts fleeing, seemingly avoiding sothing.
It was actually a—Volcano-view Private Room, far superior to any ocean-view room.
However, it wasn't like in idol dramas, where a great house could just summon a row of chefs for a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast. In reality, that was almost impossible.
After all, rich people paid more attention to Health Preservation and rarely indulged in extravagant als of at and fish. Instead, they preferred lighter fare, like a certain stead dish that was popular for a while, but its taste… was truly hard to describe!
Because Lu Yu and the others were all carnivores, especially Little Mouse, which had been yearning for hot pot ever since it tasted barbecue.
Chiyue Honglian and the others agreed as well.
She's already the Sha of the Succubi.
If she doesn't even act like a Carnivorous Demon, she'll really be screwed!
In the end, it was a unanimous vote to eat the Hot Spring Town's specialty, the Hot Spring Egg-ling Hot Pot.
It wasn't that they were directly eating the pet beast—the Hot Spring Egg-ling.
It was because this pet beast resembled a peeled egg in appearance, but its head was like a flat, lotus leaf-shaped disc.
But the temperature on top was extrely high, and it could spray hot spring water, scalding you if you weren't careful.
But eating it directly… would be equivalent to drinking a demonic beast's saliva!
The correct way was to use it as a special induction cooker, fix the hot pot on its head, pour in the secret hot pot base and mountain spring water, and then use its own temperature to heat it. It was a bit like hot spring cuisine, and the taste was exceptionally delicious.
During the process, as long as the Hot Spring Egg-ling was fed beforehand, it would lie there obediently and sleep without stealing ingredients.
At this mont, the huge Hot Spring Egg-ling was like a table, deep in slumber, with three staff mbers in Hot Spring Mountain Villa uniforms bustling around it.
Two n and a woman. The woman was sweet, and her uniform resembled a cheongsam, revealing slender, black stocking-clad legs with every step, looking quite fleshy.
The other two… looked like n!
"Hello, Boss!"
Upon hearing the movent, they quickly stood up and greeted the New Boss. Chiyue Honglian nodded slightly.
Except for occasionally embarrassing herself in front of Lu Yu and her younger sister, she always maintained the image of a decisive and efficient career woman, exuding a strong oppressive aura.
She paid no attention to the few employees and went directly to her seat.
On the contrary, Lu Yu found these people before him strangely familiar. He recalled for a mont and quickly rembered.
"Aren't these three the bounty hunters from the Hyena Mission before?"
Lu Yu still had a deep impression of these three reckless brats who dared to charge directly into a monster lair.
If he hadn't arrived just in ti, and if he hadn't heard their conversation through the Mist Raven and known that the one nad Zhao Bin was sensible enough not to swallow his share of the mission reward, he wouldn't have helped them.
But… weren't these three full of confidence before, determined to beco important figures?
They had only hunted the hyena before because they couldn't afford rent, temporarily lowering their standards to work as part-ti bounty hunters. Why were they now working as servers in the Hot Spring Town?
Could it be the flexible employnt of the new generation of Beast Taming graduates?
The thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, but he didn't pay it much mind.
There was no hierarchy in professions; it was all a matter of personal choice.
Even for him, if he hadn't awakened the Gatekeeper's Key, Lu Yu would still be pig farming right now, sharing the sa profession as Sun Wukong.
However, given the trio's personalities, they were indeed not suited to be adventurers in the wilderness. To put it nicely, they were naive; to put it bluntly, they were stupid.
Who knows when their whole family would be attending their banquet. Now, at least their lives weren't in danger.
Because they were just acquaintances, rely passersby, Lu Yu didn't greet them, let alone invite them to eat hot pot together.
Let alone passersby, even if they were friends, he wouldn't use the President's hospitality to do favors.
This was the fundantal reason of interaction between people!
Others might not care, but he wouldn't push his luck!
"That's… Great God Lu Yu!"
The trio naturally recognized him as well, their expressions a little complicated. They never expected that the important figure they were told to receive would be him!
As employees here, they had naturally heard that soone had spent a fortune to buy the Hot Spring Mountain Villa just to host an honored guest.
While they were marveling at it, they were still wondering which Beast Tar it could be.
They never expected…
that it would be the Great God who had once saved their lives!
Although he hadn't left his na back then, within the current borderlands, anyone who went online had definitely heard of Lu Yu, the supernova second only to the top-tier prodigies!
During this ti, they had naturally also seen the videos that would go viral online every so often, especially that series of luxurious battle records, which left them dumbfounded.
Compared to their bitter struggle in reality, Lu Yu was completely treating the real world like a hack-and-slash ga. Every mystic realm he visited, The Lu Remains, but the Scenery is Gone.
The guy with glasses, Chen Chi, had a shocked look in his eyes. Although he felt that Lu Yu would rise when they first t, he hadn't expected to have underestimated him.
This was clearly a direct ascension on a floating city!
Especially a few months ago, Lu Yu was still fighting back and forth with an Elite Rank Frenzied Blood Hyena, but now he had beco the number one person below the Spirituality Transformation.
Many people online were already predicting that once Lu Yu advanced to the Gold Rank, he would have a chance to challenge a Spirituality Transformation Level Beast Tar.
He was a genius destined to beco a Morning Star Overlord, and even the Moonlight Rank was not out of reach.
Before, not knowing the details, they could still console themselves by assuming he ca from a good background.
But Lu Yu's story had long been dug up. His spirit was traumatized by the death of his parents, and he had been quiet for three months, but he hadn't given up, continuing to rise against the odds through his own efforts!
It made him understand that gold could not be buried.
Coming to the Hot Spring Town was naturally not because he was disheartened by Lu Yu and gave up the profession of a Beast Tar to beco a server. It was because they had successfully broken through to the Silver Rank so ti ago, but had no money for a new pet beast…
Just then, they saw a job posting.
They heard the atmosphere here was excellent, and there were often rumors of ordinary people forming contracts with pet beasts, so they ca here to work and save money, while also hoping to contract a pet beast from the Volcanic Ecology.
Among them, Zhao Bin had already set his sights on a Hot Spring Egg-ling that had mastered a hot water skill.
Water magma attributes perfectly matched his Explosive Fire Bull, allowing them to form a beef hot pot… ptui, ptui, ptui, a Raging Fire Cooking Oil Spiritual Puzzle!
In a fit of rage, a towering inferno, scorching all enemies!
Chen Chi and Song Yue had also found their targets and were working hard to earn money, buying the pet food they liked to gradually close the distance.
Pet beasts don't love money, but every mont that moves them requires money!
They thought they would have no more contact with such an important figure, but they t again!
They were especially shocked by the beauty of the Chiyue sisters next to Lu Yu.
His own childhood sweetheart, Song Yue, was actually considered a famous little beauty in their town, but compared to them, it was the difference between an ugly duckling and a white swan!
Because the trio of Chen Chi was in the wrong last ti, they didn't tactlessly go up to get close to them. Instead, they quietly exited the private room.
After leaving, Chen Chi couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, a genius like that is never without beautiful companions!"
"And that's our new boss. It seems like the rich sister duo wants his patronage!"
Zhao Bin said enviously, then added:
"If it were anyone else, I might be jealous, but this is a Great God… I just think they're a perfect match, a top-tier, perfect match!"
As for Song Yue, she remained silent, her head lowered, not saying a word.
"Sigh…"
The two guys looked at each other and didn't continue speaking. They were worried but also relieved.
Although the blow was a bit big, it was good to face reality. They were even a little secretly pleased.
They had a chance again!
However, what the two of them didn't know was that Song Yue, with her head down, was not disappointed at all. Instead, her expression was a little excited:
'Just as I expected, the Great God with the Succubus Crest is not as abstinent in private as he appears on the surface…'
Although Song Yue occasionally liked to dream like a little girl, she had long since faced reality and didn't think she could win over such a man.
Her current ntality was more like that of a fanatic fan following a celebrity. With a sense of adoration and being a curious onlooker, she verified her previous suspicion about the Succubus Crest on the back of Lu Yu's hand.
The Great God really plays the field in private!
If he has a party in the future, I'm willing to go!
There was the joy of discovering an idol's little secret!
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, returned to the back kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Soon, fresh, top-tier ingredients were brought up.
It was all beef, mutton, vegetables, and so on from ecological pastures developed with the transcendent power of special pet beasts. The at quality was better than truly natural at.
It was the hardcore stuff of transcendent technology. There were even so demonic beast ingredients that made Little Mouse's eyes go wide.
"This place… is simply heaven!"
Little Mouse in tears, jpg!
Everyone prepared their dipping sauces and took their seats, summoning their pet beasts. However, not every pet beast liked human food.
For example, Chiyue Honglian's Chubby Chirper smoothly landed on her stunning cry as soon as it appeared, proudly spreading its little wings as if it had returned victorious.
"Chiu Chiu, what are you doing!?"
It made Chiyue Honglian, this mature beauty, blush instantly.
She reached out to grab it but was easily dodged. It showed a disdainful expression, hopped a few more tis, and started a chase.
Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh. This Chubby Chirper was clearly female, yet it acted just like the Lewd Hamster.
As for Chiyue ng's Abyssal Demon Eye, it ca to Lu Yu to beg for a Sour Plum Candy. It tore off the wrapper, held it in its mouth, and flew happily in mid-air.
As expected, the Male Master is the best, there's always sothing good to eat!
It agrees to this marriage!
"Careful, it's hot."
Lu Yu cooked a portion of fresh beef for Little Mouse and Little Spider, placed it in their bowls, and then took a bite himself.
The at was tender and delicious, and after being paired with the secret dipping sauce, it was taken to the next level. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Cultivator, let do it myself now!"
It was Little Mouse's first ti eating hot pot, and it was completely conquered. It eagerly expressed through telepathy that it wanted to show off its skills.
Rumble!
However, just as it was about to pick up a piece of fresh Scorpion-Tailed Ox tripe, the entire ground suddenly began to shake violently, knocking over the hot pot. Luckily, everyone dodged in ti and wasn't splashed, but the hot pot and a large pile of ingredients spilled all over the ground.
"…"
Little Mouse held its chopsticks, staring at the ingredients on the ground, speechless for a long ti. A "gurgle" sound ca from its stomach.
"What happened?"
Everyone was also surprised. The conversation quickly turned to the source.
They discovered that the small volcano not far away was emitting billowing black smoke. Dark clouds had suddenly gathered, countless thunder snakes slithered about, and a large number of pet beasts near the magma began to flee in all directions, even causing a stampede.
It looked like a scene from the apocalypse.
"Guji!"
Even the Hot Spring Egg-ling sensed sothing, suddenly waking up.
It opened its eyes, and with the pot still on it, it got up and ran, shattering Little Mouse's last sliver of hope. Black Qi faintly erged from its body.
Endless resentnt was rising!
Is… the small volcano about to erupt!?
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of the Hot Spring Town residents. Their faces were panicked, and their voices were noisy:
"How could this be? Wasn't there a spiritual ritual to suppress the volcano set up near it? Why is it still erupting? Could it be that the Ritual Master cut corners? I'm going to report him to the Alliance!"
"Forget about complaining, just grab your belongings and run! Otherwise, when the magma cos, we'll all die!"
"Everyone, please evacuate in an orderly manner.
Let the elderly and children go first. Property is valuable, but life is priceless!"
"Damn it, the house I worked hard to pay off for twenty years! I've only lived in it for a few years!"
"Nannan, where are you?"
"…"
The entire Hot Spring Town was in chaos, and a bunch of employees at the villa where Lu Yu was also started to flee.
Faced with the mighty power of Great Nature, even the eruption of a small volcano was a catastrophic disaster for ordinary living beings.
Perhaps only those at the Morning Star Rank could contend with it!
But there were no such powerhouses in the town, so most residents could only reluctantly evacuate the hos they had lived in for decades.
"Unlucky!"
Lu Yu had an unlucky expression. He had also wanted to evacuate, but he found that Chiyue Honglian and Lilith were both standing still, staring blankly at the small volcano in the distance.
Lilith murmured, "This isn't right. According to my divination, this guy should need at least a week to awaken.
Why did it happen so much earlier…"
Lu Yu was stunned for a mont, then reacted. It seed they knew the reason for the sudden eruption, so he quickly asked:
"What's inside the volcano?"
"You should know that the Hot Spring Town used to be one of the Human Race's border defense lines, right?"
Lilith asked in return.
Seeing Lu Yu nod, she continued:
"The ones who attacked this area back then were the demons of the Abyss, led by a Morning Star Rank Molten Mountain Demon. However, the Human Race's Beast Tars set up a trap in advance and ambushed it here.
But in its near-death state, its corpse fell into this volcano that should have been extinct, rging with it and turning it into the active volcano it is today."
"Don't tell it's not dead yet?" Lu Yu frowned.
But it felt unlikely. Generally, the Alliance would conduct a detailed survey and only establish a town after confirming there were no problems.
If there really was a living demon, it would have been captured long ago. After all, the materials from their bodies were notoriously valuable.
"No, it is indeed dead!"
Lilith shook her head and continued:
"But its origin is a bit unusual. It seems to have co from an ecological kingdom related to the Undying Celestial Phoenix and suffered from the energy radiation corrosion of a higher existence, gaining a trace of Nirvana Characteristic.
Although it's very little, the Molten Mountain Demon race itself inhabits the Hell Volcano Plane. From birth to death, and even to heal its wounds, it can borrow the power of the volcano.
Being near a volcano was enough to activate this sliver of nirvanic ability, helping it retain a trace of living spirituality. Furthermore, the Lord of the plane it belonged to was a descendant of a Ghost Imperial Tree, but it fell into the Abyss and was corrupted, turning into an Abyssal Ghost Tree.
It gave so of its rootlets and seeds to the demon to carry, hoping to grow a branch in the Main World. But unexpectedly, the demon was slaughtered as soon as it arrived.
However, these things remained on its body, nourishing its soul while concealing its aura, thus evading the Alliance's detection. Over the long years, it absorbed the volcano's spiritual energy to gradually reconstruct its body.
But according to my divination, there should have been at least a week left. Why did it suddenly erupt…"
Chiyue Honglian also spoke up, "The rootlets of a Descendant of the Imperial Tree are the key to the Abyssal Demon Eye's evolution.
A true Imperial Tree is too powerful, an existence that spans all realms. Although the Descendant of the Imperial Tree is in the Abyss, it is hidden very deeply and is not easy to find.
This portion is considered the easiest to obtain.
But since we were coming, I thought we might as well make it a hot spring trip.
I originally planned to go and get it today, and at the sa ti, nip this danger that could cause a volcanic eruption in the bud. But I didn't expect it to suddenly lose control.
I'm really sorry for giving you such a bad vacation experience."
Chiyue ng lowered her head and said softly,
"Sorry."
"It's fine."
Lu Yu shook his head, not minding it.
After all, according to Chiyue ng's original invitation ti, she probably could have nipped it in the bud. Instead, he was the one who delayed the plan.
What concerned him even more was that Lilith and their information channels could know about such a secret matter and even perform divination on it.
It seems he could also purchase so special intelligence in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu didn't want his vacation to be ruined just like that. It was better to deal with it as soon as possible, so he asked:
"If this guy resurrects, how much of its strength can it retain?"
"After absorbing the volcano's energy for so long, at least Spirituality Transformation!"
Lilith answered decisively, then added:
"It will most likely reach the level of the Queen Bee from the popular Mystic Realm of Decay before it transford back into its Dragon Form.
It's not impossible for it to even return to the Morning Star Rank!"
As soon as her voice fell, before Lu Yu could speak, the entire Hot Spring Mountain Villa was once again plunged into violent tremors.
The earthquake struck again!
Rumble!
The volcanic vent shattered, and large amounts of flaming rocks were pulverized.
After the gas inside the volcano exploded, it shot the rock debris and deep magma from the vent high into the air with imnse force, forming an eruption column.
A large amount of magma spewed out, and a huge figure was slowly climbing up from the crater.
"I'll go deal with it!"
Seeing this, Chiyue Honglian's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Just as she was about to have the Abyssal Red Sparrow rge with her, she saw a shocking scene and exclaid:
"How is this possible!?"
At the crater, the Molten Mountain Troll, which had reconstructed its body by absorbing the volcano's spiritual energy, its body like magma and burning with raging flas, climbed out of the crater.
Majestic and scorching Magma Spiritual Energy emanated from it, scorching the earth.
"We're done for!"
"How could it be an Abyssal Demon!"
"Help, I don't want to die yet!"
"Everyone, run!"
This scene made many humans terrified, even desperate!
If it was a small volcanic eruption, they could still escape, but if an Abyssal Demon was chasing them.
Only death awaited them!
Even the Alliance wouldn't be in ti to rescue them!
Looking down at the frantically fleeing crowd on the ground, it roared:
"Humans, you shattered my body for decades, I will make you pay the pri—"
Bang!
Before it could finish its words, a blood-colored figure descended from the sky and sent it flying with a single punch, back into the volcano it had painstakingly climbed out of, sinking to the bottom of the magma once more.
"Roar!"
An angry Dragon Roar echoed through the void.
Powerful Dragon Qi swept out, dispersing the dark clouds and reflecting a phantom of a blood-colored star field.
This scene left everyone stunned.
The next mont, a ntal fluctuation stronger than the Molten Mountain Demon's resentnt spread out:
"You knocked over the precious hot pot, wasted food, and disappointed my expectations…"
"Today, Little Mouse will… beat you to death!"
