Chapter 87: with translation of chapter title
【Iron-eating Beast——Bilibala·Bulu Dala·Dili Gumu...... Gulu Gulu Qi】
Supernatural Grade: Second Rank
Belongs to: Su Hao
Talent: Divine Beast Physique
Skills: Nourishment, Triple Wind Blade Technique (First Rank)
……
"Ow hoo! Da Xiong Mao's Supernatural Grade actually reached Second Rank?"
Su Hao raised his eyebrows, he also didn't expect that Da Xiong Mao was actually a Second Rank supernatural demon beast.
After recalling carefully, Su Hao felt that Da Xiong Mao's past performance indeed didn't look like that of a First Rank.
When they first met Da Xiong Mao, the jade-green poisonous snake injected deadly poison into its body, but it suffered no effect and instead tore the jade-green poisonous snake apart.
Later, when Da Xiong Mao came to that small hut, with another slap it smashed a First Rank supernatural monster—Blazing Skeleton.
Afterwards, Da Xiong Mao slapped again and killed over ten First Rank Wolf-Head Stitching Monsters.
This is indeed not something a First Rank supernatural being could do, huh…
Except Su Hao!
Afterwards, Su Hao lightly tapped his finger and opened Da Xiong Mao's talent details.
【Divine Beast Physique】
Proficiency: None
Effect: The Iron-eating Beast possesses a stronger physique, with no growth limit; as long as there are sufficient resources, it can grow into the divine beast body spoken of in legends.
……
"Divine beast body?!"
In Su Hao's eyes, a flash of shock appeared.
Da Xiong Mao's this talent, just like his flesh-and-blood controller, has infinite growth space; as long as there are sufficient resources, it can grow into the legendary divine beast.
But what resources are being referred to here?
"Right, Purple Gold Bamboo!"
In his previous life, Da Xiong Mao relied on eating Purple Gold Bamboo to become the strongest demon king in this region.
However, even if Purple Gold Bamboo's effect is excellent, it's only a First Rank supernatural plant; relying on it to become a demon king still feels lacking.
According to the official information from Shensha, Da Xiong Mao at least possesses Fourth Rank supernatural strength; relying solely on Purple Gold Bamboo to reach this level is frankly impossible.
After all, eating too much of the same thing will produce resistance, eventually rendering it completely ineffective.
Therefore, Da Xiong Mao definitely has other special qualities.
Thinking this, Su Hao's gaze turned to Da Xiong Mao's skill bar.
Triple Wind Blade Technique is the skill Da Xiong Mao obtained after consuming 【Beast Power·Gale】.
The other skill, Nourishment, should be the one Da Xiong Mao gained when awakening his talent.
This is clearly not a combat-type skill, and I've never seen Da Xiong Mao use it; could it be that…
Could Da Xiong Mao's ability in his previous life to rely on eating Purple Gold Bamboo to grow into at least a Fourth Rank demon king also be related to this?
Afterwards, Su Hao lightly tapped his finger and opened the details of this skill.
【Nourishment】
Proficiency: Mastery
Effect: When the Iron-eating Beast consumes plants, it can better absorb their special energy, enhancing its physique; and each time it eats a plant, there is a certain chance to eliminate its resistance to that plant.
……
"Ah? This skill is a bit absurd, huh!"
After reading the effect of the Nourishment skill, Su Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Being able to eliminate resistance to plants means Da Xiong Mao can infinitely obtain special energy from plants to enhance its physique, right?
Even if Purple Gold Bamboo is only a First Rank supernatural plant, you can't stop eating it nonstop!
"Looks like we need to quickly plant Purple Gold Bamboo for Da Xiong Mao, huh……"
"Blazing Fire Dragon Fruit and Water Honey Peach can also be arranged."
Su Hao slightly nodded; Blazing Fire Dragon Fruit likewise has the effect of enhancing physique, and also has a chance to permanently increase fire resistance.
If Da Xiong Mao can eat infinitely, perhaps it can truly achieve complete fire immunity!
Spirit Fruit Water Honey Peach also has the effect of temporarily increasing water resistance; after synthesis, perhaps it could be like Blazing Fire Dragon Fruit, having a chance to permanently increase water resistance.
I just don't know if the seeds of the dragon fruit and Water Honey Peach can germinate normally.
"If we bring Huayao and the others back, we should be able to find out."
Afterwards, Su Hao closed Da Xiong Mao's information panel, mounted its back, and said softly:
"Let's go, to the Flower Sprite Tribe."
"Roar! (Thighs seated well, you are my most loyal and wise bear, I'll now take you off!)"
Su Hao:???
What? After signing the contract, it even comes with a built-in translation module?
That's good; at least there will be no communication barriers from now on.
……
Da Xiong Mao's running speed is fast; what originally took two hours, now only a little over an hour, carrying Su Hao, arrives outside the Flower Sprite Tribe.
Just then, the Flower Sprite Tribe was being attacked by over twenty goblins.
At the initial trade fair, due to Ye Xiu's sneak attack, the Flower Sprite Tribe lost one of its archery towers, greatly reducing their defensive capability.
Even ordinary goblins, once their numbers increase, are not so easy for the flower spirits to defend against.
One can see this from the ramshackle wall outside the flower spirits' settlement.
Even today's twenty-plus goblins could possibly breach the flower spirits' wall, rush into their settlement, and inflict some casualties.
However, now that Su Hao has arrived here, such a scene will naturally not happen.
"Those under my protection, you dare to move?"
Su Hao smiled slightly, extended his right hand, and with a soft 'pat' sound, lightly snapped his fingers.
"Blood Flame Technique!"
The next moment.
Strands of blood-red flame shot out from the pores all over the goblins' bodies.
They let out a miserable wail, clutched their heads, fell to the ground, and began to struggle in pain.
In just a moment, all the goblins fell motionless, remaining in a kneeling posture, turning into blackened dry corpses.
"Boss, the boss has come to pick us up!"
The moment the goblins burst into blood flame, Hua Yao knew that Su Hao had arrived.
Hua Yao wore a small dress made of leaves, with a poisonous dagger at her waist, and came running over, hopping and skipping, stopping before Su Hao, cupping her chin with both hands, looking at him with an admiring expression.
"Boss, you're really amazing—so many goblins, and you just lightly snapped your fingers and burned them all to death."
Although Su Hao is not one who likes to show off, seeing Hua Yao's little self looking at him with such admiration also made him feel a bit pleased with himself.
He ruffled Hua Yao's little head, smiled slightly, and said:
"How's the packing going?"
"We've packed everything else into our storage bags; only our three shelters and a few annex buildings might not be able to be taken…"
Speaking of the shelters, Hua Yao's expression fell a little; without the shelters' protection, they would have long ago succumbed to the ominous curse and become mindless monsters.
Now asking them to abandon the shelters they've lived in for so many days still makes them somewhat reluctant.
But they also know priorities, and Su Hao's protection is obviously more important.
"Don't be disappointed first; it's not that we definitely can't take them—come, let me first go see your shelters."
Having experience moving a shelter, if possible, Su Hao still thought to try to bring the flower spirits' shelters along as well.
"Okay, boss."
Hua Yao nodded excitedly and led Su Hao toward the inside of the village.
Although she didn't know how Su Hao could move such a big house, she still felt a sense of anticipation.
After all, the boss is so powerful; maybe he can really move the shelter.
