Chapter 5 - The Fire Peacock

"It seems like it's not easy for the Summoners, they have to raise their own strength and also support their Summoned Beast to cultivate its skills."

"On the other hand, it was much easier for a Summoned Beast. All it had to do was protect the Summoner and it could still survive safely in that world. It was not as dangerous."

Li Xuan felt that it was not too bad for an Ordinary Summoned Beast to sign a contract. It could raise its Soul Power even if he slept every day.

The most important thing was that Summoners would do their best to nurture their Summoned Beasts. It was equivalent to having someone to help you raise your strength every day. The most important thing was the Equal Contract. Both parties had a certain degree of binding force.

However, Li Xuan did not have any intention of signing a contract for the time being. At the moment, his goal was to obtain all kinds of skills.

After accumulating enough skills and becoming a powerful Summoned Beast, he would consider other things, such as raising the level of his soul.

Li Xuan shook his head. He did not think about this matter anymore. Instead, he was thinking about how to find the Flame Flower.

"In my memory, there are no Flame Flowers nearby, but the environment is more familiar. The small river where the Healing Frog lived was not far from here."

Li Xuan thought about it and decided to take a look at the small river.

Previously, when he was attacked by that hunting dog, Li Xuan self-destructed and also blew up that hunting dog.

Li Xuan did not know the exact power of the explosion, so he prepared to go over and take a look to determine the extent of the self-detonation.

As soon as he thought of it, he did it.

Li Xuan skipped to the entrance of the cave and scanned the surroundings. After making sure that the surroundings were safe, he jumped out of the cave and ran toward the riverside.

"Chirp, chirp!"

A Green Sparrow flew over in the sky, grabbed a mouthful of fur from Li Xuan's body, and left quickly.

Li Xuan looked at the Green Sparrow and ignored it. Instead, he continued to run.

According to the Fire-Breathing Rabbit's memory, the Green Sparrow liked to use the Fire-Breathing Rabbit's fur and would often come over to grab some.

In return, when the Green Sparrow saw a dangerous large creature, it would let out a hurried cry to remind the Fire-Breathing Rabbit to pay attention to its safety.

This kind of cooperation also helped the Fire-Breathing Rabbit through many dangers, and both sides benefited from each other.

"What an interesting Summoned Beast world. It is like the law of the jungle, so there is also mutual benefit and symbiosis."

Li Xuan hopped forward. His rabbit ears listened carefully to the sounds around him, and from time to time, he stood up to look in the direction.

After more than ten minutes of running, Li Xuan successfully arrived at the riverside. He saw the location of the explosion and the dead dog.

Not far away, two rat-like creatures were confronting each other, as if they were fighting over the carcass of the Hound.

These two rats were the Big-Toothed Rat and the Little Fierce Rat. They were both low-level Summoned Beasts.

When they saw Li Xuan coming over, they immediately stared at Li Xuan with vigilance and stepped back in fear.

Li Xuan could not be bothered with them and directly walked toward the hunting dog.

The carcass of the hunting dog was still intact. The wound was on its abdomen, and it had a Beast Core in its body. It could increase the Mana of Summoned Beasts of the same attribute. It was a pretty good thing.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The sound of a rat was heard.

When the Big-Toothed Rat saw Li Xuan approaching the hunting dog, it seemed to be unwilling to let its prey be taken away, so it actually issued a warning.

Li Xuan ignored it and directly searched the carcass of the hunting dog, looking for the Beast Core.

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart could be heard. The Big-Toothed Rat's figure flashed as it rushed straight toward Li Xuan and bit Li Xuan's neck.

"You're courting death!"

Li Xuan suddenly opened his mouth and a red light started to shine.

A thick flame condensed into form and flew out like a basketball on fire.

Bang!

The flames rolled and the aroma of roasted meat filled the air. Li Xuan glanced at the Big-Toothed Rat that was burnt to death and nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Not bad. This fireball is very powerful. It is indeed worthy of being a fireball that is close to the intermediate level."

Li Xuan said to himself as his gaze swept across the Little Fierce Rat.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The Little Fierce Rat was scared out of its wits and hurriedly turned around to flee into the distance.

Li Xuan ignored the Little Fierce Rat and continued to search for the Beast Core. Soon, he found a green Beast Core.

"Not bad. Unfortunately, I have to reincarnate. This thing is useless to me. I'll throw it into the Auction House."

Li Xuan threw the Beast Core, the carcass of the hunting dog, and the Big-Toothed Rat into the Auction House.

At this moment...

The people in the chat channel were chatting, talking about the various things they had experienced that day. Some of them were even worried about food.

"It was so dangerous just now. I was almost captured by the hunting dog. Everyone, you must be careful when you go out," said the Violent Rabbit.

"What's wrong? Didn't you have a senior with you? Shouldn't you be fine?" asked the Mighty Tiger.

"We met a Hunting Dog. A light breeze could appear under its feet, and it was extremely fast. Its attack power was very fierce, and with one bite, it left a deep wound..."

"Senior and I were bitten. Fortunately, a few Violent Rabbits rushed over, and senior and I were able to avoid this disaster," the Violent Rabbit said with lingering fear.

"Is it so powerful? What kind of creature is that Hunting Dog, and why is it so powerful?" Might Tiger asked again.

"I don't know either. There isn't much information in the Survival Guide. I don't have the knowledge of this hunting dog. Anyway, be careful when you go out," Violent Rabbit said.

"Okay, I will be careful. Eh? The Auction House has a new item. It is auctioned by the Transformation Beast Boss," Dali Tiger said hurriedly.

"Really? Let me see." Violent Rabbit also opened the Auction House curiously.

As the two chatted, many others also showed up and began to look at the items in the Auction House.

"It's a Beast Core. It can increase Wind Attribute Mana. Good stuff. This thing is very suitable for me," Gale Rat hurriedly said.

"There's also the carcass of a Hunting Dog and a Big-Toothed Rat. I'm still hungry. Big Boss has already generously auctioned the items," Black-Tailed Snake was extremely envious.

"Transformation Beast Boss, I'm really a girl. Please form a team with me," The Illusion Lark begged. She really wanted to follow Li Xuan.

However, while everyone was speaking, Violent Rabbit fell into silence and carefully looked at the carcass of the Hunting Dog.

"Violent Rabbit, why aren't you speaking?" Mighty Tiger asked curiously.

"I... It's not that I'm not speaking, I'm just scared. Do you guys still remember the Hunting Dog that I mentioned just now?"Violent Rabbit said.

"Yes, didn't you say that you almost died?"

"Yes, the Hunting Dog that attacked us has the same appearance as the Hunting Dog in the auction house. It's definitely the same type, the same breed," Violent Rabbit said solemnly.

"What? Are you sure?"

Mighty Tiger hurriedly asked. The Mighty Tiger's combat strength was about the same as the Violent Rabbit's. If Violent Rabbit could not beat the enemy, Mighty Tiger could not beat it either.

However, such an enemy actually died and was thrown into the auction house by the Transformation Beast Boss. This was enough to prove how terrifying the Transformation Beast Boss was.

"Of course I'm sure. Moreover, this Hunting Dog in the auction house is obviously stronger and more dangerous," Violent Rabbit hurriedly explained.

"This... This is too strong. Transformation Beast Boss, please accept my salute."

The Mighty Tiger was completely convinced. He cried and cried in the chat channel, wanting to hug Li Xuan's thigh.

Unfortunately, no one responded to it, and Li Xuan could not be bothered to pay attention to them because Li Xuan saw his enemy.

Yes.

It was the flaming creature that he had encountered during the period of the Self-Destruct Worm.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The crisp chirping of birds echoed in the sky. A peacock-like flaming creature was flying in the sky, emitting a scorching aura.

Around the peacock's body, a large amount of fiery red flames were burning. From time to time, beautiful flames would rise, making it look extraordinary.

Looking at the undamaged Fire Peacock, Li Xuan was extremely solemn. He could feel the huge difference between the two sides.

"According to the Fire-Breathing Rabbit's memory, this Fire Peacock is the overlord of this area. Its strength is extremely terrifying, and one of its favorite foods is Self-Destruct Worms..."

"Even self-destructing couldn't hurt you in the slightest. It really is a powerful Summoned Beast. From now on, I'll call you the Fire Peacock."

Li Xuan remembered this Fire Peacock and prepared to have a good time with it in the future.

He definitely could not beat it at the moment. Increasing his strength was a problem that Li Xuan had to face at this stage, so he prepared to reincarnate again. He wanted to see what skills he could obtain.

"I wonder what Summoned Beast I can reincarnate into this time? What skills can I obtain? I'm really looking forward to it."
