Chapter 34 The Undead Dragon?

[Name]: Nightmare Spirit - Purple Amber Cat

[Race]: Ghost, Dark

[Racial Rank]: High-level Transcendent

[Racial Skills]: Dark Claw, Nightmare, Amethyst Piercing...

This is the basic information about the extraordinary creature Nightmare Spirit Purple Amber Cat from the materials provided by Dr. Niu.

As for the abilities of these skills, they are as follows:

【Dark Claw】: Dark attribute, low-level skill.

Unleashing sharp claws imbued with dark energy, it has a certain probability of causing a corrosive effect, reducing the opponent's defensive capabilities.

【Nightmare】: Dark attribute, mid-tier skill.

There is a certain probability of putting the opponent to sleep, depending on skill level and the abilities of both parties. If the target is already asleep, the "Nightmare" status can be inflicted, continuously weakening the opponent's abilities (attack, speed, defense, etc.).

【Amethyst Piercing】: Ghost attribute, mid-tier skill.

The purple crystal condenses into a spear to launch an attack; if the opponent is in the "Nightmare" state, it will cause even greater damage!

I wonder how many racial skills Iris learned and how many non-racial skills she mastered.

Because no contract was signed, Yun Che could not see the specific state of the iris.

However, Dr. Niu's information also mentions another characteristic of Nightmare Spirit Purple Amber Cat.

Or rather, the characteristics of all variant purple amber cats except for the common purple amber cat.

That is, if all the variant Purple Amber Cats are properly trained and certain conditions are triggered, their racial rank will be upgraded from the original High Transcendent to Low Lord!

This is not evolution, because there is little change in its overall appearance.

This is a mutation.

Actually, it's not just the Purple Amber Cat. Among the tens of thousands of extraordinary creatures in the Beast Taming World, there are bound to be some extraordinary creatures that are different from their own kind.

Beastmasters collectively refer to these different states as—mutations.

However, not all mutated supernatural beings are more powerful than their original forms; some mutate "downward."

Of course, mutations are not limited to racial hierarchy; they may also involve learning or mastering a special skill or possessing a special ability.

In fact, Nightmare Spirit Purple Amber Cat is one of the mutated forms of the Purple Amber Cat, a supernatural creature.

only.

The probability of a mutant appearing in other extraordinary biological groups is extremely low.

However, among extraordinary creatures like the Purple Amber Cat, the probability of mutations is relatively high, and the mutated forms are also more fixed.

That's why it was defined as "the seven forms of the Purple Amber Cat".

This is one of the reasons why Yun Che is so interested in the Nightmare Spirit Purple Amber Cat.

Without evolving, one can rise from a high-level extraordinary race to a low-level lord.

It may seem like just a one-level upgrade, but how big is the gap between the extraordinary and the lord level?

However, even Dr. Niu didn't know what the specific conditions were for the Nightmare Spirit Purple Amber Cat race to advance in rank.

He had not studied the Purple Amber Cat, this extraordinary creature, in detail.

But there are definitely people who know, they just don't want to make it public.

Just like the Blue River breeding base, they won't publish the method of how the axolotl evolves into the wind demon salamander.

"Uh, I'm getting carried away..." Yun Che pulled his wandering thoughts back and looked at the iris in front of him.

Although the system determined that he had subdued it.

In reality, it was just that he established a relatively good relationship with Iris.

As for the specific conditions that must be met for its mutation, that is even more distant.

"The rewards were indeed given." Yun Che checked the system space and found that the mission rewards were already lying there quietly.

and many more!

"Could it be possible to exploit a system bug?" Yun Che suddenly wondered.

With so many pets in the Blue River Breeding Base, isn't it easy to build good relationships with them using the power of Everlasting?

But upon closer reflection...

Not right either.

He had always had a good relationship with the axolotls he was in charge of, and the system had never given him any warnings.

If choosing a name is key...

He also gave many names to the axolotls.

Large flowers, medium flowers, three flowers...

It was a bit casual, though.

"However, this also shows that the judgment mechanism is not based on these factors."

I don't understand.

Could it be because he really had the idea of ​​subduing Iris, and Iris had similar thoughts to him, or perhaps Iris gave him positive feedback?

If that's the case, then this bug will be difficult to exploit.

Because once he really wants to subdue it and gets positive feedback, even if he can't subdue it temporarily due to the limitations of his Beast Taming Space level, he will still subdue the pet once his Beast Taming Space level meets the requirements.

This wouldn't be considered exploiting a bug; it would just be considered an advance payment.

"What a pity." Yun Che clicked his tongue.

"Waaah~"

Iris, who had just finished eating the canned food, had no idea that he had gone through such a brainstorming session in such a short time.

"Iris." Yun Che squatted down and looked at the little guy at eye level.

"Could you explain again why you want that dragon bone?"

As she spoke, she gave Kongkong a look.

Kong Kong, understanding the situation, patted himself all over and somehow managed to pry out a small piece of dragon bone, about the size of a fingernail, and placed it in front of Iris.

Iris glanced at Yun Che, then at Kong Kong, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they hadn't laughed at her for "drawing" last night.

With a low whimper, black mist slowly emanated from its body.

"Chirp?" Kong Kong, holding the dragon bone, looked at Yun Che and asked in a low voice.

Ah Che, is this okay?

Yun Che shook his head slightly.

Drive the power of eternal life.

If Iris really grabbed the dragon bone and ran away, then it means he misjudged the situation, and there's something wrong with the power of the Everlasting.

Although it is a loss, it is still within acceptable limits.

But if not, then it means... Iris does indeed have similar thoughts to him, and is someone who can be trusted.

This further validates the system's judgment method.

Under the watchful eyes of Yun Che and Kong Kong, Iris did not grab the dragon bone and run away. Instead, she slowly drew upon the black mist on her body and gradually approached the dragon bone.

When the black mist touches the dragon bone.

"Chirp!!" Kong Kong seemed to sense something, and its whole body suddenly tensed up, as if it was about to attack.

Yun Che wasn't much better either.

Because he saw that, drawn by the iris, a strand of grayish-white thread was being pulled out little by little from the dragon bone, which was the size of a fingernail.

This is not dragon-attribute energy!

Didn't Dr. Niu already confirm that there was no negative energy on the keel?

呲——

The grayish-white thread plucked from the iris seemed to come alive, constantly twisting and struggling, just like...

"dragon?!"

Yun Che and Kong Kong looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Although it resembles a dragon, it doesn't exhibit any dragon-attribute energy fluctuations; instead, it's somewhat like... a ghost!

Correct!

ghost!

Yun Che's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A daring idea popped into my mind—a necromancer dragon?

"Awooo!" The iris exerted a lot of effort to pull out the grayish-white thread, opened its mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

It was clear that the black mist around the swallowed iris was churning, and a faint light was appearing in its two eyes.

It took a while for them to calm down.

"Waaah..."

Iris exhaled, looking somewhat tired.

"This is... ghost-attribute energy?" Yun Che asked hurriedly.

"Ugh..." The iris hesitated, then nodded and quickly shook its head, as if it didn't know how to explain it, or rather, it wasn't sure itself, it was just doing it instinctively.

Seeing this, Yun Che took out his phone and called Dr. Niu directly.

"Ah Che? What's wrong?" Dr. Niu's voice came through the phone.

"Doctor, it's like this..." Yun Che briefly explained the situation.

"As expected," Dr. Niu said solemnly.

really?

"Ache, please come to the research institute now. I'll send you the location. If possible, it would be best to bring that Nightmare Spirit Purple Amber Cat with you."
