Lord of Pets

Chapter 58: Bloodline Fruit

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Bai Wushang pondered. He knew all this information.

The Bloodline Fruit was one of the thirteen types of magical fruits nurtured by the magical fruit tree.

Its effects were relatively special. Ordinary creatures had a higher chance of undergoing a benign mutation after consuming it.

However, if transcendent creatures possessed an ancient bloodline and gradually will be diluted over a long period of reproduction, eating the Bloodline Fruit would not trigger the mutation. Instead, it would increase the probability of atavism.

Even though the probability might increase from 1% to 3% and the increase is minimal, many masters would do anything to get their hands on it.

Luo Bing picked up a roasted skewer and handed it to Bai Wushang while talking about another topic:

“Brother Bai, do you know how many transcendent creatures are gathered around the magical fruit tree now?”

Bai Wushang waved his hand and did not accept Luo Bing’s hospitality.

“There’s no need. I’ve already eaten.”

To avoid awkward silence, he added, “Go on, I’ll just listen.”

As if he could tell that Bai Wushang was still on guard, Luo Bing smiled lightly. He did not show any displeasure as he continued:

“After a few days of investigation, we discovered that there are more than ten transcendent creatures surrounding the magical fruit tree. They are all at peak youth form and they are all above average in terms of bloodline quality. None of them is too weak.”

“And the one guarding the magical fruit tree was a Cat Demon at the early mature form!”

“Cat Demon?”

Bai Wushang’s gaze tured serious.

Then, he thought of the thin man he saw today.

His pet beast, the Claw Meow, was the pre-evolution form of the Cat Demon!

The Cat Demon that evolved naturally from the infant Claw Meow abandoned its original cat form and turned into a half-human form.

Most of the time, it would stand on its knees with its legs bent, and its jumping ability was astonishing.

Its arms were the same as a human’s, and it could freely swing them. The armor that extended from its fingertip was as sharp as steel.

The worst thing was that this kind of creature tended to be violent. It would cut off the heads of its weak competitors easily, and sometimes it even liked to collect them. It could be said that it was extremely dangerous.

“Even if Ah Zhou had reached the peak of the youth form and activated Burning Blood, it would still not be a match for the Cat Demon at its peak…”

“Brother Bai, are you suddenly at a loss?” Luo Bing chewed slowly and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth. He smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. There’s naturally a reason why we human masters are able to stand at the top of the food chain.”

“According to my train of thought, when the Bloodline Fruit ripens, it will attract a large number of transcendent creatures. No matter how ferocious the Cat Demon is, it will be very difficult to defend completely.”

“Our strategy is to fish in troubled waters and wait for the best opportunity to try and snatch it.”

“Moreover, we are not the only ones who are eyeing this Bloodline Fruit

As he spoke, Luo Bing revealed a meaningful smile.

“Oh? What do you mean?” Bai Wu Shang’s eyes lit up, and his interest was piqued.

“Hehe, currently in the Silver Leaf Forest, there are at least three groups of human teams that are competing with each other.”

“Among them, there’s a student called ‘Wang Wen’. The team he formed should be the strongest. There’s a total of four people, and all of them are at the late youth form, Moreover, the coordination between pet beast and master is very high, and they can reach a combat strength of 1+1+1+1 greater than 5.”

“As for the other group, I call them the ‘Spectral Bone Group’. There are only two people. However, their pet beasts are all rare undead-type species. Their quality is very high, and their nature is very special. Under the strong and powerful combination, they can rival the peak youth form which is also not

to be underestimated.”

“As for us, although there are seven people, we are just a random army. Our strength is at the bottom.”

As he said this, Luo Bing sighed and said to Bai Wushang expectantly,

“So… I really hope that Brother Bai can join us. That way, we will have a greater competitive edge!”

“Let me think about it.” Bai Wushang thought for a moment and said this.

“Senior Bai, we have been painstakingly collecting this information for the past few days. Now that we are sharing it with you for free, it should be enough to show our sincerity, right? What are you still thinking about?” A strong man could not help but interrupt.

“Hey, Ah Gui!” Luo Bing interrupted him and jokingly scolded, “Since we’re the ones seeking cooperation, then showing sincerity is the most basic thing. How can you use this to threaten Brother Bai?”

“Alright… Senior Bai, please do as you please. Just pretend I didn’t say anything,” The strong man curled his lips and sat down.

Bai Wushang and Luo Bing’s eyes crossed for a moment. Each other’s eyes were filled with sincerity.

After nodding his head slightly to apologize, Bai Wushang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Allin all, Luo Bing appeared to be very sincere. This information had saved him a lot of time and energy, and it had also avoided some potential dangers.

However, Bai Wushang was still brooding about the first time they met. At that time, he instinctively felt uncomfortable, and he felt that this person had malicious intentions.

This feeling had not completely disappeared until now.

“can’t believe everything Luo Bing said. He said that his team is the weakest and I am skeptical about this… because I still haven’t seen what his pet beast is until now. I keep feeling like he’s trying to hide something…”

Bai Wushang’s breathing was steady as he speculated in secret:

“Tl believe about 50-60% of this information for now.”

“Hypothetically speaking, if I cooperate with them, what will the final profit be?”

“Hmm… the most ideal result is that I’ll do my best and get the biggest piece of the cake, so I’ll earn a few thousand gold coins?”

“Then what’s the risk I’m facing?”

“Some of my secrets must not be exposed. Forming a team with them will undoubtedly increase the risk…”

“In addition, I will also lose a certain degree of freedom, making it inconvenient to collect materials and train Ah Zhou. I will be restricted everywhere…”

“The most crucial point is that I cannot ensure my own safety. They have the advantage in numbers. It seems that they have already formed a team. Is it possible that they are deliberately setting me up to fall into their trap?”

Bai Wushang’s gaze quietly swept past the few people around him. He did not notice any obvious abnormalities.

“Forget it, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. No matter how you look at it, it’s not worth it. It’s still more comfortable to work alone!”

Having made up his mind, Bai Wushang said frankly, “I’m sorry, forming a team is a kind of shackle to me. I still prefer to act alone.”

Once these words were said, the group of people sitting around the bonfire fell into a short period of dead silence.

Luo Bing sighed, his eyes filled with regret.

Bai Wushang suddenly stood up and slowly retreated under the accompaniment of the Demon Ape.

“Tcan only say thank you for your intelligence. If there’s a chance, I’ll retum it to everyone.”

As he said this, his gaze swept across everyone’s faces. He realized that everyone was secretly sizing up Luo Bing as if waiting for him to give the order.

Until Bai Wushang retreated more than ten meters away, Luo Bing suddenly shouted, “Since that’s the case, Brother Bai, when we meet again, we will be competitors. I wish you good luck.”

Bai Wushang nodded, took the Red Horse and turned to leave.

Seeing his figure being devoured by the darkness bit by bit, Lin Nana could not help but be the first to speak:

“Brother Luo, the hunting plan was clearly arranged by you. These few days, whether we encounter transcendent creatures or other students, we have never failed. Why is it that this time it’s special? I don’t understand why we had to stop earlier…”

The sturdy man who looked dignified and strong also said:

“That’s right, Brother Luo, that’s 100 mystic energy points! We have so many people, and they were caught unprepared. Even the spider silk trapped him. We can defeat him and eliminate him.. Why?”
