Endless Ascension

Chapter 57:, Pet System

During childbirth, the belly is the weakest part.

Two slashes into the abdomen of the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion instantly depleted tens of thousands of health points, and the health points in its health bar were still constantly decreasing. It wouldn't take long to wear it down to death.

The bulging abdomen constantly gushed out blood. When had a sixth-order monster ever been so embarrassed?

The once king had fallen to such a state. I don't know if it was bad luck for it or good luck for Qin Ze.

The monster giving birth, and even having a difficult delivery. Such a once-in-a-century event was actually encountered by him. Qin Ze secretly felt excited in his heart, "Could it be that there's something on me that adds a lucky value attribute?"

Without the boost of lucky value, how could there be such good luck?

One fierce move almost made the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion lose its combat ability. Qin Ze's Divine Fury still had more than two minutes left, enough for a few more strikes.

Then, Qin Ze felt a bit reluctant, but didn't stop. In a world of the law of the jungle, being soft-hearted to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.

The crystal core of a sixth-order monster is much better than that of a fifth-order monster, and the contained energy is much stronger. Qin Ze urgently needed the crystal core. One crystal core was equivalent to having inexhaustible internal energy. He couldn't be soft-hearted for a moment and spare its life.

He wasn't a kind person and didn't need to feel ashamed of his actions.

On the contrary, he always thought he wasn't a good person. Whenever there was something beneficial, he was always eager to take all the advantages.

Several consecutive slashes heavily landed on the abdomen of the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion. The hundred thousand plus health points also reduced to a few thousand.

The Blood-Eyed Maned Lion also gave up struggling and used the last bit of demonic power to give birth to the child.

The moment the little Blood-Eyed Maned Lion landed, its eyes were filled with pleading, as if asking Qin Ze to spare its child.

Qin Ze took a look at the little Blood-Eyed Maned Lion struggling slightly in the pool of blood. Feeling a bit reluctant, he nodded as if by some strange force.

The Blood-Eyed Maned Lion took one last look at its child. Its dark red eyes showed the kind smile of a mother. Then its eyes slowly closed, and its body began to stiffen.

"Congratulations to player 'Qin Ze' for slaying the sixth-order monster Blood-Eyed Maned Lion. You obtain 30,000 experience points, 1,000 internal energy points, and 100 survival points..."

"Congratulations to player 'Qin Ze' for obtaining the pet Blood-Eyed Maned Lion..."

"Congratulations to player 'Qin Ze' for breaking through to the Gathering Spirit Realm..."

A series of system prompts sounded. Qin Ze felt extremely comfortable listening to them. He simply loved this voice and completely forgot the complaints and curses from yesterday.

Suddenly, Qin Ze's eyes widened and shouted, "Pet?"

"What's the situation?"

"How could there be a pet?"

"Could it be,,, the pet system is activated?"

Qin Ze immediately opened the system. Sure enough, there was a column named 'Pet'. He immediately clicked on the pet system, and the attributes of the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion immediately appeared.

Pet: Blood-Eyed Maned Lion (Combat Type)

Level: 1

Health Points: 100

Demonic Power Points: 10

Status: Weak

Skill: Wind Blade (Damage 1)

Note: It's a growth type. It needs to be fed every day. It cannot be discarded or released. The growth of the pet cannot be separated from the careful care of the owner.

"I care about your sister!"

Qin Ze was immediately angry. He couldn't even take care of himself, and now he was assigned a pet. What was this all about? It also needed to be fed. Feed what?

Helplessly, Qin Ze didn't bother to think too much. Let's dig out the crystal core first. Thinking of obtaining two crystal cores at once, his mood improved again.

Sure enough, the monster slain by the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion was indeed a fifth-order monster. The dug-out crystal cores were similar to the one in the Violent Golden Ape. It seemed that it didn't swallow it but wanted to leave it to the newborn child, allowing Qin Ze to take advantage. He wiped it clean and put it in the space ring. Then he dug out the crystal core from under the head of the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion. The crystal core of the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion was slightly larger, and Qin Ze felt that there was a slight breeze on the crystal core.

In fact, this was also because the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion had comprehended the wind element technique. Over decades of accumulation, it integrated the wind element technique into the crystal core, so there was a slight breeze on the crystal core.

With two crystal cores in hand, Qin Ze was very satisfied. Give one to Big Brother Hei, and he could keep one for backup.

The days ahead would be much better.

"Humph, humph, humph..."

A low humming sound came from under Qin Ze's feet. Looking down, the cub of the Blood-Eyed Maned Lion was licking the blood on his boots with its small tongue, showing its tender teeth and smiling at Qin Ze, extremely intimate.

Blood-red big eyes, short manes, like a little dog, it was very cute.

At this time, a luster flashed on the little thing. It started to lick the blood on its body dry since it just came out. Then it curiously looked around and finally looked at the moving Qin Ze, excitedly trotting up. It fell several times along the way before stabilizing.

Looking at the little one, Qin Ze felt a bit embarrassed. He killed its mother, leaving it alone in this world. Thinking back to its mother's final look, Qin Ze squatted down and gently picked it up, saying, "Little one, follow me from now on."

The little thing seemed to understand what he said, licked Qin Ze's arm, and grinned.

"Pet?!"

"It's too small to be worth looking at."

Qin Ze smiled and held it in his arms, dashing into the forest and running towards the direction of the cave.

Along the way, the little one was very excited, chirping and communicating with Qin Ze. Seeing that Qin Ze ignored it, it chattered on by itself.

Qin Ze secretly felt sad. The Blood-Eyed Maned Lion was at least a sixth-order monster. How could it give birth to such a weak cub? And it was also a chatterbox, chattering endlessly.

No wonder its mother's lion roar was so powerful. Could it be that it practiced like this since childhood?

Pet it is. After Big Brother Hei left, he was the only one left. There was no one to talk to. The long days would definitely be very lonely. Just having this little one with him could be considered having company.

Then thinking of the alchemy technique, Qin Ze showed a sly smile on his face and thought, "From now on, there's someone to try the pills, haha..."

The little one seemed to know what Qin Ze was thinking. It shivered all over and looked at Qin Ze with hostility.

Qin Ze smiled slightly and said, "Little one, follow me from now on. I guarantee you'll have good food and drinks, haha..."

The sinister laughter made the little one feel a sense of fear. It looked at Qin Ze weakly and stopped chattering non-stop.

Then Qin Ze thought for a while. He should give the pet a name. After thinking for a long time, he didn't come up with a good one. Looking at its blood-red eyes and the manes on its neck, he suddenly said, "From now on, I'll call you 'Mao Mao'."

The Blood-Eyed Maned Lion was such a powerful monster, but being called such a weak name like 'Mao Mao', the little one shook its head like a rattle. Although it was weak now, the blood flowing in its body was that of a sixth-order monster. How could it have such a weak name?

However, it was useless whether it agreed or not.

Because Qin Ze didn't care whether it agreed or not. As long as he called it happily.
