Chapter 33: Caves and Missions
The wild boar's ferocious and powerful front body strength, as well as its body defense mixed with mud, allow it to run rampant in this mountain without large predators.
It suddenly raised its head, trying to hit the target in front of it with its usually invincible head!
The head covered with strong muscles made a loud noise in the air!
Then with a "bang", its head was hit to the side, and then its whole body rotated in the air for a circle and a half and flew out.
You Huan clenched his paws and walked up slowly.
He intentionally used less force, so the wild boar was not killed, but was knocked unconscious.
He wanted to try if the Shadow Monster could eat.
Standing in front of the wild boar, he cut off a small piece of meat with the tip of his claws like cutting a steak.
The Indominus Raptor rolled its tongue and the meat went into its stomach.
Then he grabbed the wild boar and swallowed it in one gulp.
He touched his stomach and felt a little full, which surprised him.
Because the panel will convert a large amount of meat in the food into evolution points, the Indominus Raptor will not feel full even if it eats several times the amount of food as this wild boar.
[When a permanent monster card appears in the Monster Shadow Mode, you cannot extract or use evolution points or enhancement points, but you can extract function cards and receive the effects of function cards.]
A prompt came from the panel.
You Huan had anticipated this. The monster's shadow was just as its name suggested, like a shadow extending from the main body.
You can own and control it forever, but you lose the potential to go further. It's a win-win situation.
But it doesn't necessarily mean that further potential has been lost.
Judging from the description of Shadow of the Monster, the function card is still effective for it.
If Monster Shadow gets some special function cards in the future, he might have a chance to become stronger.
In addition, there may be skills or talents that can naturally make you stronger.
Although the Indominus Raptor's eating no longer causes any reaction on the panel, its eating still brings benefits.
Food is converted into energy within its materialized body to support its own actions.
You Huan obviously found that the cost he paid to maintain the materialized monster's shadow had decreased.
The materialized shadow of the monster obtains energy and nutrition on its own, replacing the consumption of the main body.
This function has made You Huan quite satisfied.
After completing this simple attempt, he, as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, looked at the cave in front of him.
Deep in the Yun Mountain, hidden under the quiet trees, this huge cave leading downwards is attracting a curious dinosaur passing by to come and explore.
You Huan first turned from reality to illusion.
In the phantom state, he cannot eat, cannot affect the world around him, and can only have a slight sense of touch.
But this state is like a ghost. It can even directly penetrate some low-density objects. The five senses can exert most of their abilities, and the physical strength of the body is little consumed, making it suitable for exploring unknown areas.
Unfortunately, he couldn't penetrate dense materials such as walls and mountains.
He stepped into the cave and did not feel cold at all. Instead, he felt very warm, like a beast cave.
The Indominus Raptor's five senses were already excellent, and were further strengthened during the upgrade. Therefore, his vision was extremely clear and detailed, and he could see the dim cave clearly at a glance.
——Nothing.
It was clean, with only a thin layer of dust floating in the wind.
However, his sense of smell brought a completely different "scene" from his clean vision.
Smells, several smells intertwined here, new and old, some were stinky like some kind of beast, some were cold like eternal ice.
There is also a strange and fragrant smell... It is not accurate to call it a fragrance. It would be more accurate to say that it is a "very fragrant" smell to the Indominus Rex.
As a dinosaur, You Huan felt that the giant pythons in the primitive jungle were also very fragrant.
There was also a faint smell, with a hint of blood, as if... it was human...
[The main task has been triggered. ]
[Main Mission: Find the source of the cave. [Reward: Card draw times*1, random function card*1]]
This empty cave actually triggered You Huan's first mission in the main world!
The brief mission description left him a little confused.
The origin of the cave? Does it refer to the original owner of the cave? Or the cause of the cave? Or some larger truth?
A complex and strange smell, and a mission description with profound meaning.
And at the beginning, this set of monster cards appeared...
The violent velociraptor narrowed its golden eyes.
In this system of the universe, what level and type of existence is there in this world where the main body is located?
Not thinking about this question for the time being, he took a few deep breaths and imprinted all the smell information here deeply in his mind.
When vision cannot provide him with clues, smell information is very useful and even more direct than visual information.
If the object appeared in the cave, he still needed to make inferences.
But as for smells, as long as the owner of the smell does not use any concealing means, he can directly lock onto the target when he sees the owner of the smell again.
Some people would feel ashamed to rely on their sense of smell like turning into a dog, but You Huan doesn't care.
Vision, smell, hearing, etc. are all tools for exploring the world, and there is no distinction between them.
After carefully searching the cave and making sure that no clues were left behind, the shadow of the Indominus Raptor simply dissipated.
The main body, who was sitting quietly in a rest area on the hillside of Yun Mountain, opened his eyes and saw two young girls looking at him with concern.
"Sir, you——"
You Huan quickly said, "I'm fine. I'm just closing my eyes to rest."
The two enthusiastic girls continued to climb the mountain.
You Huan took out his cell phone and saw that Peng Zhibo had sent him a new message, which was the time and place of the party he mentioned.
[Peng Zhibo: Xiao You, if it is not convenient for you, I will ask Zhiyu to pick you up. She is going to take another guest to the exchange meeting.]
[You Huan: Sure. Sorry for the trouble.]
It would be a waste if you don't use the car.
After exiting the chat interface, he thought about it and opened a special software for communicating with exotic pets.
The facilities in this world are slightly better than those in his previous life. For example, the signal on the mountain is very good, there is a special medicine for treating spinal cord injuries - but it is very expensive, and there are also various trading software with complete regulations.
You Huan did not purchase the exotic pet directly on the software, but instead found someone who specialized in buying and selling snakes and had a private chat with him.
The deal was done quickly. He put down his phone, his eyes moving slightly, as if he was planning something.
The sun was setting by then, so he turned his wheelchair, went down Yun Mountain, and took a taxi home.
When passing by a vegetable market near his home, he asked the taxi driver to stop here.
After buying a lot of high-quality raw meat, he returned home.
"Welcome!"
The monk parrot standing on the bird stand on the first floor called out in a trained manner.
It jumped a few times and flew to You Huan, pecking his hair gently with its beak.
You Huan stuffed the raw meat into the refrigerator and said, "Got it, I'll prepare something delicious for you right away."
The little parrot with a blue-green back and a gray belly flew aside obediently.
You Huan went up to the second floor and the parrot followed him up.
He casually took out a black king snake and a blue tongue skink from the breeding box, one in each hand, and coiled them!
The delicate and slightly cool feel brought by the scales is very comfortable.
The snake and the skink both obediently let him roll them into balls and flatten them, and their big black eyes revealed that they let him play with them however he wanted.
After being tamed by You Huan several times with [Tyrannical Dragon Power], these pets are now extremely docile, and even their appetites have improved, with an open-minded look on their face.
Moreover, being docile does not mean that they have lost their wildness and basic survival ability. For example, the black king snake was still able to prey on the live rats that You Huan fed to it with precision and ferocity.
They are most obedient to their tamer You Huan, and they will also become much more docile towards other humans who have a similar aura to You Huan.
But for the latter, if their lives are severely threatened, they will still fight back.
This is not just You Huan's guess, but there is actual evidence.
In order to shoot a video, Peng Wen from the Peng family once acted recklessly and made Xiao Kai feel his life was threatened. Xiao Kai chewed Peng Wen's mobile phone into pieces and broke Peng Wen's bones.
You Huan was reminiscing while playing with his pet when the doorbell rang on the first floor.
His new animals arrived.
The snake merchant he contacted not only had abundant supply of goods, but was also local to Songhai. The two had some friendship, so the snake merchant naturally sent his goods as soon as possible.
After receiving the express on the first floor, he opened the box and looked at the green figure slowly crawling in the box with a satisfied look.
PS1: Animal species will try to choose common names instead of very precise scientific names, and some names will be simplified to avoid too much connection between the fictional world and reality. Please note that this article is fictional, fictional!! And I do not recommend that you buy pets on impulse, from cats and dogs to rare pets, and I absolutely do not recommend keeping poisonous pets such as poisonous snakes. Please understand the breeding methods and risks, and buy carefully after weighing the breeding conditions and be responsible for your pets!
PS2: I have to emphasize again that there is no female lead and no ambiguous plot.
