Chapter 51 - 45 The Attribute of King of Sudden Death_1

Necromancer...

Lu Ran finally understood.

A Beast Trainer known as a "Necromancer" controls the souls of animals.

So, are these what Xia Country commonly calls "ghosts"? n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Damn."

Lu Ran's scalp tingled.

He just felt that the profession of Beast Trainer had suddenly become weird.

"Hahaha, I was also shocked when I first heard about it," Zhao Chen laughed, "Actually, now it's just like the legends. I've heard quite a bit, but I haven't personally seen an undead pet beast."

"If we can catch the one in Jinling this time, I must see it with my own eyes!"

"Alright, we're here." The two of them chatted and had reached the foot of the mountain.

By this time, Zhao Chen had already taken three or four phone calls.

Zhao Chen turned to Lu Ran and said, "Do you want to go back to your master's dojo first, or will you come with me to the Beast Training Building?"

"Why don't you come back to the building with me?"

"Although Little Wang's strength is not bad, his investigative ability is lacking. It's very difficult to quickly find a Necromancer who owns an undead pet beast using ordinary investigative means and technology... We might need to find an external assistant."

"Without any surprises, the assistant is already on their way to Jinling."

"As the first discoverer at the scene of the incident, you might need to describe the details later on."

"Okay," Lu Ran replied, and off he would go. He wasn't at ease letting such a Necromancer roam free.

What if he got targeted later on... Jinling was so close to the Green Sea, and he still had to stay in Jinling for a while.

He must kill him! Catch him!

Interrogate...

Pry his mouth open!

Find out how to handle undead pet beasts...

Lu Ran scratched his cheek. Could he learn this thing?

In case Mr. Husky dies one day, he could switch to becoming a Necromancer, allowing Mr. Husky to be reborn in another form!

Undead Sword Dog!

Although this profession sounds quite evil, he, Lu Ran, am kind-hearted and wouldn't do bad things!

As they say, weapons have no good or bad, it all depends on the person wielding them.

At this moment, Zhao Chen, who went to make another phone call, had not yet realized that Lu Ran was only superficially afraid, but internally, he had even started to covet necromancy.

His nature was much like a combination of the King of Sudden Death and Mr. Husky, afraid yet loving the thrill.

"Mr. Husky, you come back first. King of Sudden Death, get in my pocket," Lu Ran looked at his two Pet Beasts, cleared his throat with a cough, and wasn't it because he was worried about them dying one day.

Speaking of, can you retain consciousness from your previous life once you become undead? Suddenly, Lu Ran thought of this question.

...

Jinling Beast Training Building.

A facility formed by a cluster of buildings surrounding a tall tower.

Before long, Lu Ran arrived here with Zhao Chen.

After arriving here, Zhao Chen arranged for Lu Ran to wait in a reception room.

"Lu classmate, I need to go and connect with some clues. You wait here for a bit, and if you really get bored, you can wander around," Zhao Chen said.

"Oh yes, not far from the C entrance of the building, there is an Attribute Stone. Your Lizard has not yet been tested for its Attribute after its awakening with the Awakening Leaf. You could take this opportunity to have it tested!"

"Okay," Lu Ran nodded.

After that, Zhao Chen hurried off, looking very busy.

"Little White Dragon, this old boss of mine, I'm not sure if it's a promotion or a demotion," Lu Ran pondered. Previously, he was in charge of recruitment but was stationed in Devil City. Now it seemed he was handling more matters, but he had been transferred to Jinling.

"Mhm."

Lu Ran nodded, but Sister Hua was puzzled—hadn't Lu Ran already been tested?

Then, right after that thought, she saw Lu Ran pull a mini True Red-Eye Black Dragon from his pocket...

Sister Hua was shocked: "!!!"

Seeing the King of Sudden Death, she seemed to understand something—that this was Lu Ran's second Pet Beast that he was pre-training!

As for the methods of selecting a second Pet Beast in advance, there were many. Remembering what Little White Dragon had said, that Lu Ran had connections with a high-ranking official in the League, she felt relieved.

"Is that a lizard?"

"Such a small one, can it be strong in battle?"

"What breed is that? It looks so cool."

"I feel like it's dead, not moving at all while being held..."

Next to them, the novice Beast Trainers who had just finished their attribute tests, watched Lu Ran take out the King of Sudden Death and continued to discuss.

By this time, Lu Ran had already thrown the King of Sudden Death onto the ground.

"Go on, just grab that stone firmly."

[King of Sudden...]

The King of Sudden Death looked despairing, with hopelessness in its eyes.

Fires and sparks erupted from its body—frightening.

However, with repeated urging from Lu Ran, it nervously crawled towards the Attribute Stone and, raising its paw, gave it a swipe.

Then, it stared unwaveringly.

At that moment, everyone fell silent and watched the changes on the Attribute Stone.

One second... two seconds...

Crackle crackle crackle.

Whatever the King of Sudden Death feared, that's what it would face.

Accompanying the sound, the Attribute Stone started shimmering with several sparks of electricity and showed scorch marks from being electrocuted.

"It's actually the Thunder Attribute!" Sister Hua exclaimed from the side, quite surprised.

The Thunder and Fire Attributes are both relatively hard to come by since most animals have an aversion to flame and thunder. To be compatible with such elemental attributes can be rather difficult.

Nonetheless, without a doubt, such an attribute, once awakened, could exert significant oppression over other creatures!

"Huh? Your Pet Beast?!" Sister Hua was just about to sing the praises of the Thunder Attribute, but then saw that in front of the Attribute Stone, the King of Sudden Death had rolled its eyes back and fainted on the spot.

"Is it dead???"

"Ah—— dead? No way, right?" A young girl in the crowd covered her mouth.

The crowd suddenly erupted into noisy chatter; everyone looked at the seemingly deceased lizard with blank expressions, unsure of what had happened.

"Ahem." At that time, seeing that the King of Sudden Death was indeed of the Thunder Attribute, Lu Ran felt reassured. Mr. Husky's sense of numbness indeed had some truth to it—could it be similar to static electricity? A 100% Static Electricity Physique, worthy of the Thunder Attribute indeed.

"It's not dead, this lizard is called a 'Red-eyed Eagle Lizard,' a very special breed that likes to play dead. It's rare in our country," Lu Ran walked forward, pocketing the King of Sudden Death and explained.

"I see..." Hearing Lu Ran say this, the crowd believed it; after all, if the lizard were dead, Lu Ran would not be so nonchalant—there would be backlash, right?

"Thank you, Sister Hua. I'll be heading back now; you're busy." Lu Ran, having finished testing the attribute, did not plan to stay long, fearing Zhao Chen might not find him in the room later.

Knowing the King of Sudden Death's attribute was enough.

The Thunder Attribute... known for its destructive power...

With its astonishing defense, how did the King of Sudden Death awaken such an attribute? Even if it had been the Rock or Golden Attribute, Lu Ran wouldn't have been surprised.

"Alright, hope to see you again," Sister Hua said with a smile. After bidding farewell to Sister Hua, Lu Ran headed to his room. During this time, he suddenly thought that the Thunder Attribute might not be that bad either.

Every attribute has its characteristics, like the freezing of the Ice Attribute or the burning of the Fire Attribute, whereas the Thunder Attribute... is conductive!

The Thunder Attribute's attacks can easily reach an enemy's insides, much more easily than most attributes, because the energy of the Thunder Attribute is highly conductive; a touch electrifies the entire body.

So is it possible that the King of Sudden Death could shape thunder and lightning into Armor that covers its entire body? If anyone touches it even slightly... they would be electrocuted to death?

Defense... can also be an attack, one of the few attributes that cause harm upon contact without actively attacking!
