Secondly, although Mr. Husky's Sword Qi and the opponent's Flying Leaf Claws seed to have similar power and canceled each other out,
Mr. Husky could only release a maximum of four of such attacks, while the Demon Cat Leader itself, being level 10, could probably use its skills many more tis.
There was another point...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
After the Demon Cat Leader launched an attack, Lu Ran heard movent coming from all directions, feeling that at least a dozen Demon Cats were on their way!
Dammit, they didn't even intend to find the Demon Cat Leader, but it ca to them instead.
That's right, after killing so many of its underlings... He and Mr. Husky must now be considered extrely invasive species.
"Aooow..." At this mont, Mr. Husky also got serious, he held the Wind teor Sword in his mouth and unleashed another Sword Qi toward the Demon Cat Leader.
Whoosh!
The white blade of wind flew out, tearing through the air.
But this ti, the Demon Cat Leader chose not to confront it, but instead quickly jumped to another tree, dodging the attack.
The Sword Qi missed, only leaving the original tree blasted into a ss, without causing any harm to the Demon Cat Leader.
The Demon Cat Leader did not continue its attack, seemingly wanting to conserve energy, but Mr. Husky's attacks kept coming relentlessly.
The next mont, following the trajectory of the Demon Cat Leader, it managed to release the third Sword Qi, flinging it at its opponent.
The Grass Demon Cat showed a mocking expression in its gaze and dodged again with great agility, evading the Sword Qi once more, its combat instincts far superior to those of the lower-level Demon Cats.
"ow aow!!!" Having completed its dodge, it let out a piercing cry, and in the blink of an eye, a dozen or more Demon Cats had gathered, surrounding Lu Ran and Mr. Husky, whose hearts suddenly stopped.
A dozen Demon Cats, although none had awakened attributes, were nevertheless all elite Demon Cats between levels 9 and 10.
"I was just saying..." This was Lu Ran's last utterance.
"Woof... (I'll definitely co back!)"
A flash of white light, and after ten seconds had passed, just as the Demon Cat Leader gave the order to attack and the dozen Demon Cats pounced together, Lu Ran and Mr. Husky were teleported away.
The exclusive room.
Lu Ran and Mr. Husky sat down on the ground with a thump.
"That was close," Lu Ran said with lingering fear.
Fortunately, those dozen Demon Cats didn't appear along with the Demon Cat Leader, or else he and Mr. Husky would have been in grave danger.
However, on the flip side, had the Demon Cat Leader not been the only one with better hiding abilities and they all ca together, Mr. Husky would have definitely been able to detect them earlier.
"What, still want to fight them?" Lu Ran glanced at Mr. Husky.
"Woof!" Mr. Husky sheepishly put down the sword it was holding in its mouth, revealing clear eyes.
It indicated it would listen to Lu Ran's plans, to train first and settle the scores later.
An Arctic Dog's vengeance could wait ten years if needed.
"We lost big ti, only charged for a little over four hours," Lu Ran lanted.
But that said, it was tough; even a Beginner level Novice Secret Realm was so hard, no wonder the Little White Dragon said soloing it was difficult.
Given the situation at that ti, if they couldn't disengage from combat, other than letting Mr. Husky eat a Flowing Fruit combined with the Divine Deer Pendant to try and burst awaken, Lu Ran couldn't think of a better solution.
As for wanting to solo clear...
It seed they would have to wait until Mr. Husky advanced to a higher level and mastered the Energy Flow Technique before they could try again.
The Demon Cat was agile, and its Sword Qi was difficult to hit as it released one after another, but once you mastered the Energy Flow Technique, you could unleash Sword Qi in rapid succession, which should catch the opponent by surprise.
Or...
Learning Wings of Wind and gaining air superiority were both winning strategies.
Unfortunately, Mr. Husky had yet to learn any of these.
Lu Ran took out two Wooden Scale Fruits, bit into one himself, and tossed the other to Mr. Husky.
At this mont, Lu Ran noticed that he had quite a few unread ssages. Who could they be from?
Lu Ran opened his Character Card's communication interface.
Pig Farr: [Is this... making the list... How did you do it?]
Little White Dragon: [Impressive, impressive, congratulations.]
Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [?]
Saintess of the Five Poison Sect: [Where are you? You're not still in the Secret Realm, are you!]
Actually, communication within the Secret Realm was possible, but only between Beast Trainers who were part of a team and also inside the Secret Realm.
Since Lu Ran was in the Secret Realm and others were outside, they couldn't contact each other.
The sa applied if Lu Ran was in Infinite City while soone else was on Blue Star; they wouldn't be able to get in touch.
"Huh?" Looking at the barrage of ssages, Lu Ran was a bit dazed.
"Woof?" Mr. Husky shot him a puzzled look.
"We perford so poorly, even resorted to weapons, and we made the Divine Pet List? What a joke, the others must be terrible."
"Whine!?" Mr. Husky imdiately stood up, the gloom from being toyed with by the Demon Cat vanishing. What, it made the list? Which rank?
"They didn't say, I'll ask."
Lu Ran replied to Fang Lan: [I'm in the private room, just out of the Secret Realm. So, did Mr. Husky make the list? Why am I getting so many ssages? No way, we were having a tough ti in the Secret Realm, we nearly got wiped out.]
Fang Lan replied instantly: [I want to hit you! Stop showing off! But yeah, Mr. Husky made the list, tenth place. Out of the ten, there are only two dium extraordinary races. What's this Sword Qi madness? Compared to you, those who made the list with reasons like surviving a hit from a hard-mode boss or controlling a boss for ten seconds all seem quite lackluster.]
Lu Ran: [Just tenth, huh...]
Originally, Lu Ran thought Mr. Husky wouldn't make the list, but now that he had, tenth place was just bottom rank, wasn't it?
Were there already people challenging the hard difficulty of the Novice Secret Realm?
It must be a team, and probably those who started a month ago, otherwise their progress couldn't be this fast.
Fang Lan: [And you're complaining it's too low! You two made the list at the lowest Level.]
Lu Ran laughed: [Really? I guess we couldn't aim much higher, we relied on an extraordinary Weapon to fight above our Level, which I guess is considered outside help and probably deducted quite a few points. I rember the Divine Pet List is judged based on combat achievent highlights reflecting a pet beast's potential, right? Mr. Husky could make the list probably because it understood the Energy Release Technique in just two days, that must be key.]
Fang Lan: [So you did use a sword-type Weapon, huh? People over at the Beast Training Plaza are saying the sa thing, pfft! They call your thod unconventional and flashy.]
Lu Ran: [Don't mind them, did you forget the Beast Training Technique Super Beast Mimicry I told you about? I don't want to learn from Husky, so I let Mr. Husky learn from ... You forgot, when I was studying swordsmanship at the dojo, my master called a super genius! Too bad I took a liking to shooting later, and stopped studying swordsmanship after two and a half years.]
Fang Lan: [Not wanting to learn from Mr. Husky... I feel like you've mimicked it the best, teaching a dog swordsmanship, that's just too doggone funny.]
Lu Ran: [???]
He didn't feel like dealing with Fang Lan anymore. Oh right, Mr. Husky. Lu Ran hadn't noticed any movent from Mr. Husky for a while.
He turned his head and saw that Mr. Husky was slumped in a corner, drawing circles with its paw, muttering about being only tenth, the bottom rank, Divine Pet List, I'll rember this grudge...
Lu Ran sweated, what, you want to take the Divine Pet List down one day?
