Chapter 60: Chapter 13: Peacock Mountain Partridge, Lantern Firefly with Increased Level

As dusk fell, Char looked at his personal panel, visible only to himself, with an expression of surprise and delight.

The attribute points after the “+” in the Six Attributes were all brought by equipment.

The Wild Boar Dagger, Bloodthirsty Pupil, and Fierce Feather Bow added a considerable amount of attributes for him, especially the Fierce Feather Bow. As a Bronze-level piece of equipment, it greatly enhanced his strength.

Apart from the extra attribute points from his equipment and those he had gained over time, the second Natural Seal from Auson also gave him an additional point in agility, a point in intelligence, and two points in perception.

However, both the change of the “Natural Seal” inside the brackets from “1/100” to “2/100” and the increase in attributes were expected.

After all, there was the precedent of Betty.

But beyond these, Auson unexpectedly granted him a skill called “Power of Earth,” which really thrilled Char.

His attention immediately focused on “Power of Earth lv1,” and soon the detailed effects of the skill unfolded.

It was a buff-type skill that significantly enhanced his movement ability on the ground.

That must be derived from Auson’s Earth Escape ability.

However, the little fairy’s favor was clearly not enough to completely replicate its talent ability onto him, so he was given a weakened version.

Even as a weakened version, it was enough to delight Char.

True Earth Escape, even if the system dared to give it to him, he wouldn’t dare accept it—he was only Level 3, and to possess Earth Escape abilities would be too defying.

From its consistent actions, the system, while still generous, would impose certain restrictions on him, such as the previous restriction on the number of Magic Pets.

Therefore, Char felt it was very reasonable that the system did not give him Earth Escape ability.

Moreover, “Power of Earth” not only greatly improved his movement ability on the ground, but it also gave him certain recovery and damage-sharing capabilities.

That is to say, as long as his feet were planted on the earth, when he received damage, the earth would share some of that damage, and continuously help him to slowly recover health.

What a surprise!

A big surprise!

He didn’t expect that after Laosen joined him, he would not only receive the usual rewards but also gain an effective skill like “Power of Earth.”

But the surprises did not stop there. After understanding the “Power of Earth” skill, Char’s gaze slightly moved down, falling onto the Magic Pet column.

Lantern Firefly had actually been promoted!

He could feel nothing about the promotion of his Magic Pets.

It was different from the enhancement of skills; whether it was gaining the “Natural Seal” or the improvement of “Universal Arrow Skill,” he had a strong sensation himself.

But with the promotion of Magic Pets, he wouldn’t sense it, unless he saw the change happen before his eyes, like with the Star Worm’s level up before.

Moreover, he hadn’t opened his personal panel for a day.

So, he really hadn’t expected that while he was out, Lantern Firefly had silently been promoted, springing back into the ranks of his top combat forces, with its combat strength once again only second to the Clover Mantis!

What a wonderful surprise.

But upon further reflection, it wasn’t so strange. Lantern Firefly was already among the best at Challenge Level 2 among the Demon Beasts, and it had been consuming Fire Attribute Energy Essence for a while, its strength increasing every day.

He had observed in the past few days that Lantern Firefly seemed likely to be on the verge of promotion, so breaking through to Level 3 now seemed logical.

Lantern Firefly’s Challenge Level had reached Level 3, once again surpassing him in combat strength.

Even though he was equipped with several pieces of gear and was blessed with both “Natural Seal” and “Power of Earth,” he probably stood no chance against Lantern Firefly in a fight.

After all, now Lantern Firefly could take on four Level 3 adventurers alone.

Lantern Firefly and Lotus Leaf Frog heard the noise outside and hurriedly came out of the carriage to welcome everyone back, their expressions a mix of joy and a sigh of relief.

The Wind Winged Horse also snorted loudly, expressing its happiness with a cheerful neigh.

It was getting dark, and Char and the others had not returned yet, making them anxious.

Seeing Lantern Firefly and Lotus Leaf Frog coming out to greet him, Char had a big smile on his face.

After leveling up, Lantern Firefly’s size had noticeably increased.

Of course, there was still a considerable gap compared to Clover Mantis.

Besides that, its body structure had also become somewhat more complex, and the lantern it was holding now contained a flame that was larger than before.

A Magic Pet only undergoes such radical changes and fundamental shifts in form during evolution.

Normal strength improvements do not lead to significant changes.

Char then shifted his gaze to Lotus Leaf Frog which, like Lantern Firefly, had been showing signs of leveling up these past few days.

Now with Lantern Firefly having leveled up first, it seemed that Lotus Leaf Frog’s advancement was imminent.

Once it leveled up, Star Worm would once again become the weakest Magic Pet under his command.

But this was good news for Char. Since Clover Mantis was so powerful, if the other Magic Pets didn’t increase their strength, they would become more and more insignificant.

They needed to steadily improve to keep up with the pace.

Lotus Leaf Frog led Char happily into the second carriage, where a large tank of water was housed; in the tank, a dozen lively fish were swimming around, occasionally splashing water droplets.

“Well done, Lotus Leaf Frog.”

Char affectionately stroked Lotus Leaf Frog’s head, and it narrowed its eyes, revealing a content expression.

Even though this was not the first time Lotus Leaf Frog had caught fish, each time it would proudly seek credit and then bask in Char’s strokes, showing a pleased expression.

Catching fish was a daily task Char had assigned to Lotus Leaf Frog.

Lotus Leaf Frog was on the lower end in terms of levels and wasn’t considered a main force from the beginning. Once Clover Mantis arrived, it became even more dispensable in combat, barely seeing any action.

Essentially, Lotus Leaf Frog had withdrawn from the battle lineup and joined the logistics team; its main duties were providing Lotus Leaf Spring water, catching fish and shrimp, and also mosquito extermination.

Seeing a few more fish in the tank, Char was not surprised, but what delighted him was that beside the simple chicken coop there were several chickens slightly larger than the Purple Quails.

These chickens resembled Purple Quails in shape, but their feathers were a bit more magnificent, covered in greenish-blue spots like the tail feathers of a peacock, and they bore a crown of feathers on their heads, very pretty.

They looked both like partridges and Peacock Pheasants.

As Char’s attention focused on these beautiful chickens, rows of text quickly appeared before his eyes.

[Peacock Mountain Quail]

[Skills]: Peacock Rainbow Light (0-ring)

[Challenge Level]: 0

[Introduction]: Like Star Worm, the Peacock Mountain Quail belongs to the weakest group of Demon Beasts. Although they possess magical abilities, this level of magic skill hardly makes them capable in battle. Apart from releasing Peacock Radiance to dazzle enemies before making an escape, Peacock Mountain Quails are no different from the other weak, ordinary animals in the forest.
