Chapter 29: Chapter 29 The Scene Outside the City Gate_l

Translator: 549690339

“Buzz—”

A purple ball of light, filled with explosive power, exploded after hitting the green energy target in mid-air, turning into an electric arc cage about three meters in diameter. Countless electric arcs danced inside, each one capable of causing severe injuries.

A petite figure enveloped in electricity deftly navigated through the onslaught of red energy attacks, striking the randomly generated blue energy targets around it with its claws, teeth, and tail.

“That’s it!”

Seeing the three-hour countdown end, Xu Ran didn’t hesitate to press the stop button.

The tricolor energy in the training room dissipated, and the petite figure abruptly halted its movements in the vacant room.

The electric arcs wrapped around it dispersed, revealing Ziyun nestled within.

“Meow-” (Is it time?)

Ziyun sprang into Xu Ran’s arms, its face expressing some regret for the abrupt end to the fun.

It felt that it had made more progress and been in a better state compared to the previous training.

“The three hours are up,” Xu Ran nodded, he lightly knocked on Ziyun’s head, “You need to balance work and rest during training. Don’t forget how tired you were after the three-hour session last time.”

At Xu Ran’s reminder, Ziyun couldn’t help but shrink its head, remembering how it had passed out in exhaustion.

“We still have some potion left, so we can train more later,” Xu Ran gave it a hint before laughing, “But the next time will probably be after we return from outside the city.”

[Contract Pet Beast: Ziyun

Race name: Electric Chasing Cat

Attribute: Thunder Attribute

Growth stage: Transcendent Stage (166/500)

Race Stage: Leader Species

Skills:

[★★Electric Spark (Stardust Level)] (37/100)

[★★Electric Arc (Stardust Level)] (40/100)

[★★Battle Instinct (Stardust Level)] (22/100)

[★Self-healing Power (Stardust Level)] (26/100)

[★Blood fury (Stardust Level)] (11/100) ]

Glancing at Ziyun’s display panel, Xu Ran nodded in satisfaction.

Last time they were in the training room, they only trained the skills Electric Spark, Electric Arc, and Self-healing Power. This time, Xu Ran reorganized the training plan. By adding close combat energy targets, they could also train Battle Instinct at the same time.

They could also train the Blood Fury skill. Furthermore, Xu Ran found that under the effects of the Energy Abundant Potion, the weakening effect after Blood Fury burst was significantly reduced. It only needed a short rest before it could use it again.

This was an unexpected delight.

To increase the proficiency of such a deadly skill under normal circumstances would be quite difficult.

“We’re leaving the city tomorrow. We need to go back and pack,” Xu Ran stroked Ziyun’s head, “Even though we can return in a few hours if all goes well, it’s not a bad thing to be prepared since it’s our first time.”

“Here, try this.”

As they walked out of the training room, he whipped out a small package as if by magic, opened it and took out a cat-shaped biscuit to feed to Ziyun.

“Meow?” (What’s this?)

Ziyun curiously sniffed at it and then, her eyes lit up. She “owled” and crunched, crunching, and swallowed the cat-head biscuit directly. She wore a satisfied expression on her face.

Delicious!

It tasted even better than the Purple Sugar Beans!

“It smells pretty good.” Xu Ran sniffed the aroma wafting from the opened bag and couldn’t resist picking up a small piece and putting it in his mouth.

Well… crisp, full of meaty aroma, but the taste is a bit bland.

Seeing Xu Ran eating her own snacks, Ziyun blinked her eyes, greatly shocked.

The Beast Master… actually did this …

to her snacks!

After finishing the bag of cat snacks that they won from the system’s lottery drawing, the Starfire Foster Care Shop was already in sight in the twilight.

They went upstairs, packed their bags, and went to sleep.

A silent night.

Early the next morning, Xu Ran shoulder his marching bag from the night before and looked at Ziyun, who was following closely behind him, planning to go out with him.

“Actually, you can stay at home.” He laughed dryly, “In case of an emergency, I can summon you at any time.”

“Meow (No way!)

Ziyun shook her head without hesitation.

She didn’t want to be separated from Xu Ran!

“All right, then we’ll go together.” Xu Ran held Ziyun in his arms, then pulled out the slightly glowing good luck charm pendant and wore it around his neck, hiding it with his collar.

Everything was ready.

“Let’s go!”

Following the navigation, they quickly appeared at the city gate.

The city gate was still closed, but inside the city gate, there were already thousands of people gathered, most of them in small groups, with powerful pet beasts following them.

The voices of people talking and all kinds of noises made by the pet beasts mixed together, giving Xu Ran the feeling of walking into a bustling area.

“Boss Xu, over here!”

At the familiar shouting, he came back to his senses and saw Liu Gu waving at him in the distance. Xu Ran quickly walked over.

“Everyone’s here.” Zhang Yun smiled at Xu Ran, then patted the shoulder of the silent man beside him, “You’ve met the other members of our little team before, let me introduce you, this is Vice Captain Du Heng.”

“Nice to meet you, Uncle Du.” Xu Ran politely smiled at the man.

And Du Heng’s stern demeanor softened slightly as he nodded at Xu Ran as a greeting.

“Uncle Liu, are there always so many people in front of the city gate every morning?” Looking at the ever-increasing crowd around him, Xu Ran was amazed and asked Liu Gu close by.

“Roughly.” Liu Gu glanced around, “As you know, a large number of hostile transcendent beings live outside the city gate. If we randomly open the city gate, it might bring unpredictable consequences.” Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m

“So except in special circumstances, the city gate is only opened at fixed times. The earliest time of the day is at seven in the morning.”

“Hunting squads mostly rely on hunting enemy transcendent beings and obtaining transcendent resources to earn money. Often, if they’re a step late, their target will be taken by another squad, so it’s natural that they would want to set off as early as possible.”

“The reason why we set off at this time is that there are more transcendent beings resting at this point, which makes it safer.”

“I understand.” Xu Ran nodded.

Liu Gu’s words answered many of his doubts, and made him feel that hiring the Tiger Hunting Squad was worth it.

While the two were talking, with a deep hum, the towering city gate opened a crack and then gradually widened until it was fifty meters wide.

People who were ready to go quickly poured out of the city gate, and then according to their own targets, headed in different directions outside of the city gate.

After coming to this world, it was Xu Ran’s first time seeing the view outside of the city gate.

It was a vast wilderness, with scarce grass. Dark purple soil covered the earth, occasionally seeing terrifying dried bones and stones.

At the other end of the wilderness was a forest as far as the eye could see. A ferocious large bird happened to fly out of the treetops, glanced over here and then withdrew its gaze.

A breeze blew from outside the city, bringing a faint scent of blood and earthy aroma, which made Xu Ran’s spirit slightly shaken and gradually came back to his senses..
