Chen Fan looked up some information and discovered...
Many auxiliary skills of the Guardian Beast can indeed be cast on other people or Guardian Beasts.
For example, Armor and Shield, as well as healing skills.
When a Guardian Beastmaster's cultivation reaches a certain level, they can even directly borrow the powerful skills of their Guardian Beasts and use them themselves!
However, the downside seems quite apparent... the time to borrow a Guardian Beast's skill is very short, and it will cause the Guardian Beast to be unable to use the skill for an extended period.
If the Guardian Beast has multiple strong attack skills, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
But if they only have one or two attack skills...
For example, Snowy's current attack skill is only Thunder Cat Claw.
If Chen Fan were to borrow the Thunder Cat Claw skill, he might be able to use it for three minutes, but Snowy might not be able to use the Thunder Cat Claw for tens of minutes.
Once Chen Fan borrows the Thunder Cat Claw skill, Snowy would have no other attack skills and could only stare blankly.
After three minutes, Chen Fan would join Snowy in blankly staring.
...
"Thunder and Lightning Armor... I wonder how strong its defense is?"
Chen Fan glanced at the system panel and saw that there were still 78 energy points.
Over the past few days, he had killed quite a few level 1 and 2 monsters, increasing his energy points.
Without hesitation, Chen Fan added 30 points directly to Snowy's "Thunder and Lightning Armor."
Snowy's Thunder and Lightning Armor skill proficiency instantly rose from 1 point to 31 points!
Seemingly feeling the change in itself, Snowy looked puzzledly at Chen Fan.
Under Chen Fan's watch, as Snowy's "Thunder and Lightning Armor" skill proficiency increased, the skill description also changed...
"When used on oneself, can last for ten minutes; when used on others or Guardian Beasts, can last for three minutes."
Three minutes, why is it so short?
However, after adding more skill proficiency later, it should be able to double, right?
Speaking of which, although three minutes is a bit short, it is enough to resolve a battle.
Just as Chen Fan was about to speak...
An odd force was already transmitted from Snowy.
Another Guardian Beast feeding back power!
"Boom!"
Chen Fan's clothes were directly blown apart, becoming tattered!
The vast and uncontrollable power was rapidly moving through his body, causing his entire body to rumble!
Vaguely, Chen Fan felt that his power had reached some kind of threshold.
It seemed that breaking through this threshold would allow him to advance to a higher level!
Was this... the feeling of being on the verge of breaking through to the first-grade realm?
Is my Star Power infinitely close to the first-grade realm?
Chen Fan's expression was strange as he gave a bitter smile.
He now knew that to break through to the first-grade realm, he needed to create eight main channels and at least seventy-two collateral channels.
Finally, he had to forge a Star Sea, allowing the Star Sea to connect the eight main channels and the collateral channels.
But he had no idea how to create the main channels or the collateral channels.
There was no answer found online.
According to some people, the authorities did not allow the leaking of cultivation methods and strictly controlled them.
For some older families, it was even more strict... If they discovered that their family members leaked cultivation methods, they would either abolish their cultivation or execute them directly!
"It seems that I still have to wait until the day after tomorrow to enter the Academy and learn the cultivation method before I can break through to the first-grade realm."
Chen Fan clenched his fists lightly, then looked at Snowy, "Snowy, your combat power level has now reached level 3, and you have awakened a new skill called 'Thunder and Lightning Armor.'"
"Can you show me the 'Thunder and Lightning Armor'?"
"Mhm!" Snowy nodded, squinting her eyes slightly.
"Crack!"
Her entire body was immediately enveloped in dense lightning, making her look like the Thunder God...or rather, Thunder Cat incarnate!
With Thunder and Lightning Armor skill proficiency already at 31 points, Snowy operated it with ease and grace.
"Squeak!"
Feicui, however, was startled and leaped onto Chen Fan's head.
Chen Fan comforted Feicui before putting her back down, then said to Snowy, "Snowy, this skill can also be used on me and Feicui. Try it and see if you can put the armor on me?"
Snowy tilted her head thoughtfully, staring at Chen Fan for a while.
Then, her eyes suddenly lit up, and two beams of light shot out, converging on Chen Fan.
"Crackle!"
Chen Fan's body was also clad in a semi-transparent armor formed by the power of thunder and lightning!
"Oh, hahaha!"
Chen Fan raised his hands to look at the weightless yet awe-inspiring armor and was overjoyed.
Feicui circled Chen Fan, looking at him very curiously.
After a while, Feicui couldn't help herself and formed a hand with her droplet-shaped body, poking Chen Fan gently...
"Crackle!"
Feicui squeaked and was sent flying by the lightning armor.
Fortunately, the Thunder and Lightning Armor was mainly for defense, and Feicui was already a level 2 Guardian Beast, so she didn't get hurt.
But after being zapped by the Lightning Armor, Feicui shuddered at the sight of lightning and dared not touch the armor again.
"Feicui, stay in the Beastmaster's Space."
Chen Fan waved to Snowy and said, "Snowy, let's go get rid of that Single-horned Black-python!"
"Meow! (Beat it up!)" Snowy immediately waved her little claws.
Chen Fan picked up the fishing spear, "The entrance and exit of the Beastmaster's Space are in the same location. I don't know if the dead snake will be guarding nearby. Be careful when you go out, and use Thunder Flash Movement as soon as you go out."
"Mhm!" Snowy nodded her head.
With a thought, the Vortex Teleportation Gate appeared in front of Chen Fan.
Snowy took the lead, jumping directly into the Vortex Teleportation Gate.
Chen Fan hesitated for three seconds before stepping in.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
As soon as he left, he heard a continuous rumble.
At a distance of over thirty meters away, Snowy was fighting against the single-horned black-python!
This damn snake, it was really guarding the corpse... no, it was guarding the nearby area!
Chen Fan took a misstep and moved behind a big tree, then inserted the fishing spear into his belt and climbed the tree using both his hands and feet.
Standing on the tree branch and looking down, he saw Snowy in the southeast direction, transforming into a white shadow, moving quickly around the single-horned black-python, continuously shooting lightning cat claws.
From a size standpoint, Snowy was at a complete disadvantage.
The enormous mouth of the single-horned black-python could even swallow her in one bite.
Even if the single-horned black-python just rolled over, it could have crushed her to mush!
However, Snowy avoided both the tail whip of the single-horned black-python, which made a tearing sound, and the wind blades it spewed from its mouth.
Snowy's speed was incredibly fast, she continuously moved around, shooting lightning cat claws that tore the single-horned black-python's flesh apart, causing it to hiss and scream!
With the same combat power level and species level, Snowy's power of thunder and lightning almost crushed the wind attribute power of the single-horned black-python!
Within just ten or so seconds, a few large holes had been torn open in the belly of the single-horned black-python, and blood flowed profusely!
Snowy is amazing!
Originally standing on the tree branch, Chen Fan, who wanted to find an opportunity to help, had become a mere spectator.
After breaking through to Level 3, Snowy's lightning cat claws became much more powerful.
Even without using Thunder Flash, Snowy's speed was as fast as the wind, making her appear like a shadow.
With the mysterious Thunder Flash, the single-horned black-python was completely suppressed, unable to launch a decent attack!
In this battle, Snowy had completely gained the upper hand...
But to actually wear down the single-horned black-python, it would probably take a while.
Boom!
The furious single-horned black-python opened its large mouth and viciously snapped at Snowy.
Meow!
Snowy screamed and the lightning flashed around her, and in the blink of an eye, she jumped from the front of the single-horned black-python to its tail!
Crack!
As the single-horned black-python bit down on the big tree, Snowy's cat claw, enveloped by the power of thunder and lightning, chopped down on its tail!
Splash!
As blood spurted everywhere, the single-horned black-python's tail broke off!
Hiss...roar!
The excruciatingly pained single-horned black-python hissed and roared, then slithered off, completely abandoning the fight and trying to escape towards the west.
Don't let it get away!
Chen Fan called out a reminder and jumped down from the tree.
Meow!
Snowy cried out and with a few flashes, she immediately chased after it.
On the other side, Chen Fan quickly walked a few steps, picked up the tail of the single-horned black-python, and threw it directly into the Beastmaster's Space before chasing after them.
...
Southeast of the Black Ant Forest.
Pan Xiangdong, who wore glasses, along with scar-face and a few others, were crouching down, slowly and cautiously closing in on their prey like sly cats.
In their encirclement, a wild hill chicken over a meter tall was still focusing on eating insects, completely unaware of the looming danger.
Suddenly...
The wild hill chicken looked up in horror toward the east.
It's bad!
The expressions of Pan Xiangdong and the others changed.
With a cluck, the hill chicken flapped its wings and took to the sky, flying over a big tree.
Damn!
The cooked duck flew away, and scar-face and the others were so angry that they threw their knives and swords at the hill chicken.
However, the wild hill chicken was extremely fast and flapped its wings a few times, flying over the treetop and heading north.
The group's knives and swords clattered to the ground.
Fuck!
Scar-face was furious, and with the uninjured hand, he slapped the big tree.
A fruitless effort!
What the hell happened?
Scar-face angrily asked, "Who scared the hill chicken in the east?"
At this moment, one of the men who was keeping watch in the trees yelled, "Xiangdong, Brother Feng, come up quick, looks like a monster is rushing over!"
The hill chicken must have been scared by the monster that came rushing over!
What? Pan Xiangdong and scar-faced Feng were shocked, and they clumsily climbed up the tree.
As they had just climbed up the tree, they heard a rumbling sound coming from the east.
A huge black-python with a single horn was charging towards them!
Damn!
Scar-faced Feng's expression turned incredibly ugly, "Since it's coming from the east, it's either Level 2 or Level 3!"
Someone nearby was chattering, "We... are so far away, the giant python couldn't be coming for us, could it?"
Pan Xiangdong was more composed, "No, it couldn't be coming for us... look! The giant python seems to have lost its tail, and there's a white shadow chasing it!"
Scar-faced Brother Feng almost burst into tears, "You mean... there's another monster besides this giant python?"
It's over, it's over, it's all my fault for bringing everyone here, what can we do now!
Pan Xiangdong said solemnly, "Everyone, be quiet, don't make a sound or any movements!"
Frightened, scar-faced Brother Feng and the others instinctively hugged the tree trunk with one hand and covered their mouths with the other.
After seven or eight seconds...
The single-horned giant python rampaged through, knocking down over one-meter-tall weeds as it passed under the tree where the group was.
Meow!
A meow sounded from behind, and Snowy, who was surrounded by electric snakes, seemed to space jump as she activated Thunder Flash and chased the giant python!
The tailless single-horned black-python desperately fled towards the west.
Wrapped in thunder and lightning armor, Snowy continued to pursue relentlessly...
In the tree, scar-face and the others were stunned.
Fuck, are my eyes playing tricks on me?
A cute ragdoll cat is chasing a terrifying giant python?
In the tree, a man wearing a duck tongue cap blinked and said, "How strange, that cat looks somehow familiar..."
