Chapter 99 - 97: Er Gou’s Abilities

Husky Spirit’s basic attributes are quite weak, but the number of skills is surprisingly high.A mere level 1 Bronze Elite actually has four skills.

The skills possessed by Dog are briefly described as follows.

[Wolf King’s Intimidation], Innate Skill, consumes 2 points of Spiritual Power, suppresses and intimidates creatures of the same species within fifty meters, with a certain probability of triggering "control" or "taming" effects.

[Divine Dog Soul], Innate Skill, under the blessing of the Divine Dog Soul, the ability to warn, reconnaissance, and tracking will continuously improve.

[Enhanced Absorption], Innate Skill, the absorption ability of the Spirit Beast is enhanced, allowing it to directly consume uncooked food, obtain Spiritual Qi from various Spirit Plants, and greatly shorten the absorption cycle of Spiritual Energy.

[Advanced Evolution], Innate Skill, the evolution speed of Mutated Spirit Beasts is faster than ordinary Spirit Beasts, and the number of evolution points required for each evolution is somewhat reduced.

Hang Yu was completely bewildered.

Having the Enhanced Absorption skill is easy to understand.

Because the vast majority of Spirit Beasts possess this skill.

This skill enables Spirit Beasts to eat raw food and also acquire a small amount of Spiritual Qi from ordinary herbs and Spirit Fruits. When eating food cooked by a Spirit Chef, there is a faster Spiritual Qi digestion cycle.

This is the standard glutton skill.

No wonder Dog is so greedy and can eat.

Er Gou, who has never been to the Spirit Realm, now has 25 points of Spiritual Qi and 8 evolution points. Where did these Spiritual Qi and evolution points come from? If not from eating!

You can only imagine how much this Dog can eat!

Having the "Divine Dog Soul" skill is not surprising. It’s a passive skill that greatly enhances reconnaissance, warning, and tracking, which is the ability Hang Yu values the most!

Hang Yu has the Memory of the Great Sage and possesses vast knowledge and experience, so he is well aware of most Spirit Realm monsters and terrains.

He is clearly aware of what monsters are where.

However, he obviously cannot fully control the specific distribution and movement patterns of monsters.

Additionally, Hang Yu knows that some places may have Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but these treasures usually appear randomly, and he does not know exactly where they will appear. Memory is not omniscient, and he can only search in a general area, depending on luck to find them.

Now it’s all good.

Just need to bring Er Gou along.

His strong search, reconnaissance, tracking, and warning abilities will be extremely useful, even complementing Hang Yu’s memory and experience perfectly, greatly increasing the safety of the adventure and also allowing access to some inaccessible places.

It’s not surprising that Erha Spirit has "Enhanced Absorption".

It’s understandable that Erha Spirit has the "Divine Dog Soul".

What Hang Yu cannot understand, or even accept, is.

That Erha would actually have the "Wolf King’s Intimidation" active skill.

Damn Wolf King!

It’s just a husky!

But after seeing the skill effect.

Hang Yu finally understood why the husky could command a crowd of dogs.

The Wolf King’s Intimidation effect is stronger than imagined. It can intimidate all canines, reducing their desire to attack and even some attributes, and if the opponent’s strength and rank are lower than Er Gou’s, there’s a certain chance to control them.

To put it another way.

As long as Er Gou continues to consume Spiritual Power and maintain intimidation.

These controlled monsters will obediently follow orders, charge into battle for Er Gou.

During the beast taming process, Er Gou also has a certain probability of producing a taming effect. Once a monster is tamed, it will completely submit, even without activating the Wolf King’s Intimidation, it can still be commanded by Er Gou.

This is why Er Gou could gather dozens or even hundreds of dog followers in the Cyan Dragon Community!

Because these dogs are too weak, they can be easily controlled and tamed, thus fully submitting to Er Gou.

This skill is unexpectedly powerful!

Erha is already an Elite Monster, so controlling ten or eight level 1 wild wolves shouldn’t be an issue, right? Although Er Gou is not strong himself, if he can control a large group of monsters, use his wisdom bonus, and flexibly employ various strategies, he might be as good as any elite!

Lastly, Er Gou has a "Advanced Evolution" passive innate skill.

This skill can greatly save resources and reduce the difficulty of Er Gou’s evolution.

Spirit Beasts are different from humans, unable to use Skill Stones, and can only obtain new skills through evolution and awakening.

The skills Spirit Beasts possess are all innate skills, the main characteristic of which is that they do not require proficiency or Spiritual Qi, and automatically improve with level increase.

Of course.

The sub-skills generated by innate skills are not included in this, and this generally occurs in production talents. Most production skills with production-type talents automatically form a corresponding production skill under this talent.

For example.

Pang Hu’s Spiritual Artisan talent, whose skill effect is to Enhance Artifact Refining, and due to possessing a production-type innate skill, he automatically mastered Low-level Artifact Refining Technique from the start.

Innate abilities grow with level.

But artifact refining itself requires self-practice to improve.

Erha’s skills are all innate, and the higher the level, the stronger the skills.

Additionally, every Spirit Beast evolution is usually accompanied by an awakening, the benefits of which might be the advancement of old skills or the appearance of new skills.

In short.

Every Spirit Beast has immense cultivation potential.

If Hang Yu boosts Erha’s rank and level, his skill count will increase, and skill effects will grow stronger, with his strength continuously rising accordingly.

A ray of light flashed.

Hang Yu released the Spirit Beast.

The husky stuck out its tongue, looking extremely happy.

This was the first Spirit Beast Hang Yu owned, Dog’s life is now bound to Hang Yu, his growth is closely linked with Hang Yu, Spirit Beasts are the most trustworthy battle partners because they can’t betray their masters.

Er Gou is not only a powerful support type Spirit Beast.

He also possesses a very high level of intelligence, not only assisting in adventures in the Spirit Realm but also sharing work for Hang Yu in the real world. If he weren’t a chatty husky, he’d almost be the perfect henchman.

That afternoon.

Hang Yu went to the tea restaurant.

He booked a private room on the second floor.

Though Fatty’s tea restaurant just opened, as a trailblazer in the new era restaurant industry, Fatty’s Restaurant has significant advantages, attracting many level 2 individuals here for meals.

"Great tea!"

Su Yunbing sat across.

She elegantly sipped the green tea provided by the tea restaurant.

Su Yunbing felt like she was soaking in a cool mountain spring on a hot summer’s day.

Her entire fatigue was quickly swept away, and even the Spirit Chef food she had previously eaten seemed to be absorbed faster, and this refreshing coolness lingered in her body, seemingly lasting a long time.

"This isn’t ordinary tea leaves, is it?"

"It’s Goblin Green Tea, a low-level Spirit Realm tea, with no special effects, but can speed up the absorption of Spiritual Food, having a few cups after meals is still nice."

How can a tea restaurant not have tea?

This tea is grown by Hang Yu himself.

Currently, only Fatty’s tea restaurant serves it.

Fatty plans not just to make the tea restaurant a restaurant.

He wants to make it similar to a teahouse or tavern.

Having the Spirit Tea provided by Hang Yu will undoubtedly bring a huge advantage.

However, ordinary patrons here can only drink Spirit Tea brewed with Farmer’s Three Punches mineral water, while Hang Yu’s own Spirit Tea is brewed with Spiritual Spring water.

Su Yunbing couldn’t help but remark, "Everything produced by the Spirit Realm is indeed great; this tea leaf alone is enough to outshine any top-grade tea in the real world."

"Teacher Su, our time is quite precious, so I think we should skip the small talk?" Hang Yu took out the potions Su Yunbing ordered, "All the potions you wanted are here!"

"You’re always in such a hurry!"

Su Yunbing playfully glared at him.

But Hang Yu was right after all, and her time was also tight, so without wasting further words, she immediately paid the hefty remaining balance.

Su Yunbing wore a pained expression.

Because the potion prices were too high!

But they were worth it, as these potions could create more value!

"By the way, I’d like to ask you for a favor, Teacher Su."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I want the latest, most detailed monster distribution intelligence in Jiang City. Your relationship with the Spirit Relief Association is deep, so it shouldn’t be hard for you to get this information." Hang Yu sipped some tea, "You can name your price."

"Oh please, acting as if it’s some big hassle, it’s merely a trifling matter, discussing money over such a trivial thing damages our friendship." This time Su Yunbing agreed very willingly, "I’ll have Lin Lan send it directly to you, just don’t spread it around lightly."

Oh wow.

Teacher Su has made progress, huh.

Internal intelligence of the Spirit Relief Association is usually hard for outsiders to obtain, but not difficult for Su Yunbing, and this intelligence will greatly aid Hang Yu in what he plans to accomplish next.
