Monsters Are Coming

In this update, he first added two new growth pets to the Pet System.

The first pet is named: Mechanical Guardian.

In its initial state, it’s a palm-sized miniature robot, shaped smoothly in an oval form, resembling a silvery metal droplet.

The life template is replicated based on the silicon-based life structure from a ruin in the Pale Continent Region.

Its ability is to devour Spirit Ores to grow.

Currently, players do not utilize Spirit Ores efficiently, typically selling them to the Arms Merchant Guild or directly sacrificing them in exchange for sacrificial power after mining.

The Mechanical Guardian can effectively decompose Spirit Ores into "experience points" to aid its own growth.

However, just with this, the Mechanical Guardian is not yet fit to enter the Pet System.

After all, investing sacrificial power for growth and investing Spirit Ores for cultivation is essentially the same, both spending sacrificial power.

Its most significant feature is that its growth direction is set according to the Spirit Ores it devours.

For instance, consuming Spiritual ores over a long term allows it to gradually comprehend special spiritual abilities during growth.

Or, by continually consuming Solid Rock Core, Barrier Crystal Stone, Earth Vein Stone, and similar Spirit Ores, one can significantly enhance defensive power, and generate Skills that align with the Spirit Ore’s attributes.

The price of the Mechanical Guardian is set at: 68,000 sacrificial power.

It is the most versatile growth pet among all growth-type pets currently.

According to Guidance calculations, the Mechanical Guardian can possess 599 growth systems.

Apart from some special Spirit Ores, which the Mechanical Guardian cannot digest, most Spirit Ores can assist in its growth.

Among these data, the battle power ranked first is the Mechanical Guardian fed with a large number of Space Spirit Ores.

After growing to level 120, it can master three kinds of Space abilities.

For example, feeding it with large amounts of Void Origin Stone produced in the Domain Node of Kong Yuan Peak in the Frosty Winter Snowfield allows one to obtain a Mechanical Guardian with Space abilities.

But the drawback is also obvious.

The stronger the growth system, the higher the value of the Spirit Ore required for investment.

Ordinary players can only feed it some low-level Spirit Ores to assist the Mechanical Guardian’s growth in the early stages.

However, he set up a function for the pet to refund the initialization.

If players’ future earnings increase, they can choose to refund and re-feed with high-quality Spirit Ores at any time to change the Mechanical Guardian’s growth direction.

The second pet is the Star Core.

Considering players’ current spiritual power recovery in the battlefield only comes from shop potions and Lifeforce Inhalation.

In a high-intensity war mode, the situation of spiritual power overdraft is easily occurring.

Especially in war command.

Brain Overclocking, Eagle-Headed Demon, and Mark, these three Life Souls all require consuming spiritual power for maintenance.

During an outing, Qi Sheng occasionally discovered a growth pet suitable for replenishing spiritual power.

The pet’s name is: Star Core.

It was born in the Dragon Crystal Ridge area of the northern district of the Pale Continent.

Its body is composed of a semi-transparent energy crystal, with starry starlight constantly flickering within when active.

In its initial state, its size is as large as an adult’s head, similar in shape to a young feline, with star-patterned crystal scales covering its body surface.

The Star Core has a docile temperament and likes to linger in areas rich with energy.

The ability it possesses is called: Energy Resonance in the decomposition information.

It can interact with surrounding energy fields, and can also absorb, store, and release energy.

Compared to combat ability, Qi Sheng values the Star Core’s power bank attribute more, allowing the Star Core to store some energy in advance for use at any time when needed.

Nurturing the Star Core is equivalent to gaining an extra portable power bank.

And while the power bank charges the player, it can also continuously absorb Heaven and Earth Energy to recover its own consumption, indirectly enhancing the player’s combat sustainment capability.

In terms of pricing, Qi Sheng set it at 5,800 sacrificial power, less than one-tenth of the Mechanical Guardian.

The initial appearances of these two new pets are both very cute and possess abilities suited to the players’ current needs.

After browsing through the template information of the new pets, Qi Sheng’s consciousness followed the Guidance to descend on the West District of the Pale Continent.

An expanse of barren wasteland unfolded before his eyes, with a shocking fissure that cleaved the earth, the edges steep and rugged, the sharp rocks intertwined like jagged teeth, appearing even more ferocious under the persistent erosion of the fierce wind.

Dust flew in clouds around the sinkhole, with no signs of life nearby.

It was a special area he inadvertently discovered while searching for growth pets.

At the time, when the scout swept across, he perceived chaotic energy fluctuations beneath the ground.

Probing down along the rift that split the earth, it turned out there was a whole other world inside.

Through decomposition and investigation, he understood the specific reasons.

This was once the territory of the strong clan of the Emperor’s Era, the Netherworld Crossing Clan, also known as the Netherworld Cave.

Although located in the Pale Continent Region, the Netherworld Crossing Clan was loyal to one of the Four Gods, Jiuyin, and inside the cave, Jiuyin’s statue was still worshiped.

During the Catastrophe Battle, this force went out in full, and in the end, not a single clan member returned.

The underground cave once served as the clan land for the Netherworld Crossing Clan, crafted into countless multi-layered structures, with trial areas filling all regions except the living quarters.

It was also the trial ground for nurturing warriors by the Netherworld Crossing Clan.

The cave stored a wealth of resources, large enough to rival a Small World, with all trial spaces dynamically moving inside without fixed locations.

After discovering the Netherworld Cave, Qi Sheng had an idea.

He thought it was entirely possible to set a Newbie Village Space Node inside it.
