Chapter 248: Positive Characteristic and Negative Characteristic (First update, requesting all)

Dragon Whisker Grass also has grades; the probability of an ordinary Dragon Whisker Grass helping one comprehend a second characteristic is not high. However, this is, after all, Dragon Whisker Grass produced by the Ancestral Black Dragon Corpse. Judging by its color, this is the highest grade of Dragon Whisker Grass, so the probability of comprehending a characteristic naturally far exceeds that of ordinary Dragon Whisker Grass.

However, who should it be given to?

Sunlight and Moonlight have already comprehended a second characteristic, so the Dragon Whisker Grass is useless to them; Kailan already received a reward a few days ago, and if it were given to her again, the other Demon Pets would inevitably harbor resentment; Yuangungun has not yet formed any combat capability and is of little help to Li Zhangsheng for the time being.

In this way, only Aixi and the Flamingo remain!

Aixi goes without saying; it is Li Zhangsheng's Life-Bound Demon Pet and is also a creature of top-tier quality, so its importance is self-evident.

Of course, the Flamingo also has its advantages; it possesses the Phoenix Bloodline, and the phoenix is one of the rare special existences that possess three characteristics. If the Flamingo were allowed to comprehend a second characteristic now, and it accidentally evolved into a phoenix in the future, wouldn't it then possess four characteristics?

It is just that four characteristics would only sound better; furthermore, whether the Flamingo can evolve into a phoenix is an unknown. In reality, whether it is given to Aixi or the Flamingo, the effect is actually the same, because they both currently only have one characteristic.

In terms of personal inclination, Li Zhangsheng is more inclined toward Aixi because it is a top-tier quality Demon Pet with higher potential, and it is also his Life-Bound pet, whereas the Flamingo does not possess these advantages.

Additionally, there is likely more than one stalk of Dragon Whisker Grass in the Black Dragon Dragon Lair; when more Dragon Whisker Grass is obtained in the future, he can just compensate the Flamingo then.

"Aixi, eat it!"

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng summoned Aixi and handed the Dragon Whisker Grass over.

Aixi did not hesitate at all; it curled its tongue and swept the Dragon Whisker Grass into its mouth. However, it chewed very carefully until there was nothing left to chew before swallowing the crushed Dragon Whisker Grass.

This allows for better digestion of the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure; if swallowed in one gulp, some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures cannot exert their maximum effect.

The next moment, Aixi lay down on the ground and closed its eyes slightly. Its massive tiger body showed no abnormalities, giving the feeling as if it were just sleeping.

Li Zhangsheng stared intently at Aixi, not relaxing for a single moment. To be honest, he was a bit nervous because random characteristics have a high degree of volatility.

Among these characteristics, there are those that enhance the strength of Demon Pets, those that weaken the strength of opponents, those that improve survival capabilities, those with special effects, and so on; they are collectively referred to as Positive Characteristic.

Likewise, characteristics that have negative effects on Demon Pets are called Negative Characteristic!

Negative Characteristic are basically of the negative emotion type, including Laziness, Lust, Arrogance, Jealousy, Anger, Greed, and Gluttony.

Among these characteristics, the most fatal is the Laziness characteristic. A Demon Pet possessing the Laziness characteristic will not only show a serious tendency toward laziness in daily life, but will also exhibit it in battle, and may even let the Monster Tamer's commands go in one ear and out the other. In a life-and-death battle, this is a fatal characteristic.

Don't look at Yuangungun as being lazy usually, but it does not have the Laziness characteristic. Li Zhangsheng can use its trait of being greedy for food and sleep to formulate training plans, and in battle, it will certainly not slack off like a Demon Pet with the Laziness characteristic. But a Demon Pet with the Laziness characteristic is lazy to the bone; you can almost never change its habits.

Except for the Laziness characteristic, the meanings of the other Negative Characteristic can be roughly understood just by hearing their names. In short, Negative Characteristic will not only fail to improve the abilities of Demon Pets, but will instead lower their strength.

However, Negative Characteristic are ultimately only a very small minority, and the probability of randomly obtaining one is negligible.

Aixi was not asleep; its consciousness seemed to have sunk into an inexplicable space. This space was very large and contained thousands of light orbs. They were colorful, some large and some small; some were like meteors, Fleeting Moment, some were eternally motionless, and some revolved continuously around other light orbs, giving the feeling as if it were a universe.

In this unknown space, Aixi's consciousness turned into a huge light orb. It discovered that it could move, so it subconsciously moved toward the largest golden light orb.

Aixi was relatively ignorant, but that did not mean it was stupid. It thought of the grass it had eaten; this phenomenon must be the effect of that grass, and the light orbs in this space were very likely the so-called 'rewards'!

Although it did not know how many light orbs it could Devour, it assumed it could only Devour one, which was the main reason Aixi set its target on the largest light orb.

The problem arose: Aixi discovered that its movement speed was very slow, and as time passed, the light orb representing its consciousness became increasingly dim. At the same time, it gradually felt a sense of powerlessness, and the speed at which the light orb advanced had a downward trend.

"Not good!"

Aixi vaguely understood the reason. It could only look at that largest light orb with reluctance, because judging by the reality, it feared that the light orb representing its consciousness would dissipate before it even reached halfway.

The next moment, Aixi changed its target, shifting it to a slightly smaller cyan light orb. Judging by its speed, it was very likely to reach this cyan light orb before its consciousness disappeared.

It is unknown how much time passed, but Aixi was getting closer and closer to the cyan light orb, yet the light orb representing its consciousness also became increasingly dim, and its speed became slower and slower.

Closer, even closer!

In the process of moving forward, Aixi's consciousness became increasingly drowsy and exhausted. Just as it was about to enter the area of the cyan light orb, its thinking seemed to stop functioning, and it relied entirely on instinct to continue approaching the cyan light orb.

Suddenly, a tiny meteor rushed toward Aixi rapidly. Just as it was about to hit it, Aixi seemed to wake up suddenly, instinctively controlling the light orb to move to one side, narrowly avoiding the meteor.

The next moment, Aixi entered the area where the cyan light orb was located. This area had a total of dozens of light orbs of varying sizes; several larger light orbs revolved around the largest cyan light orb, and dozens of small light orbs were attached to those few larger light orbs, slowly revolving.

Just as Aixi was about to approach the cyan light orb, a larger gray light orb turned toward it. This gray light orb was closest to the cyan light orb, and its rotation speed was also the fastest.

At this time, Aixi was acting entirely on instinct, but just as this gray light orb was about to touch it, it instinctively felt a surge of Arrogance.

Upon feeling this emotion, Aixi, who was about to fall into a coma, instinctively felt that something was wrong. It subconsciously stopped moving forward, and the gray light orb rushed past it, almost grazing it.

However, given the rotation speed of the gray light orb, it would come back again before long.

At this time, the light orb representing Aixi was already very dim, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment, and its forward speed had slowed to a certain degree; it was unknown whether it could successfully touch the cyan light orb before the gray light orb came back.

Aixi continued to move forward. At this time, its consciousness had completely fallen into a coma, and it was moving forward entirely on instinct.

It is unknown how much time passed, but when Aixi's consciousness returned to itself, it opened its eyes in a daze, as if it had just had a dream.
