Unserious Beast Tamer

Chapter 355: Discovery Beneath the Ruins_2



These pillars were of uniform height and similar appearance, the only difference being the distinct traces on each.

Knife, sword, halberd, dagger, and three other marks that Xu Ran did not recognize as being made by any known weapons.

After closely observing the seven pillars, Xu Ran suddenly spoke, "Do you notice anything odd about the positions of these seven pillars?"

"Meow~" (They form a circle, but their placement is somewhat odd.)

Ziyun said, narrowing her eyes.

"Chirp~" (It seems like one is missing?)

After some thought, Twelve spoke with a hint of uncertainty.

"Rumble!" (It does seem like one is missing.)

The firefly by the side walked around the pillars and nodded in agreement.

The seven pillars were equidistant from each other, except for the two corresponding to the knife and sword, which were nearly twice as far apart.

Together, they formed a perfect circle.

Without a word, Xu Ran stepped to the spot where, theoretically, there should have been another pillar between the knife and sword pillars, and began to dig.

After clearing away all the stone chips and dust, Xu Ran saw a whole paving stone.

The paving stone had strange patterns on it, different from the ones found on the other pillars.

Upon seeing this, a contemplative look appeared on Xu Ran's face.

This area with the pillars was probably the only thing of value in the ruins.

So, he had to find a way...

"Crack~"

A crisp sound made Xu Ran, who was on high alert, swiftly turn around to look.

"Chirp~" (I didn't mean to do it...)

Cancan sheepishly retracted her claws; in front of her, the pillar corresponding to the dagger seemed to have been rotated slightly, aligning its bas-reliefs with Xu Ran's position.

Seeing Xu Ran and the other four little ones all looking her way, Cancan looked sheepish.

"Chirp~" (I really just turned it casually...)

"Well done!" Xu Ran laughed heartily, his eyes lighting up.

He strode to the nearest knife pillar, embraced it, and gave it a forceful twist.

"Crack~" Accompanied by a similar sound, the bas-reliefs on the knife pillar also turned toward the eighth position.

The other four little ones figured it out too and began trying to rotate the pillars.

Eventually, all seven pillars were aligned with the eighth position.

Suddenly, something extraordinary happened!

The previously inert pillars lit up in an instant, glowing as if coming to life, with the light on their surfaces brightening and dimming intermittently.

Xu Ran could vividly feel the dense Light Series Power permeating the space around him rushing toward the pillars this moment, mercilessly devoured by the pillars.

As the pillars absorbed the power, their aura grew stronger and stronger.

Mysterious light patterns emerged on the pillars, finally converging at their tips, turning into seven beams of light that instantly projected onto the ground patterns in the eighth position. Enjoy new chapters from empire

The patterns at the eighth position lit up one by one, eventually fully illuminating, and amidst the dazzling light, a Light Ball slowly formed.

A trace of interest appeared on Xu Ran's face.

He could feel a subtle attraction to the Light Ball emanating toward him.

However, the five little ones did not feel the same pull.

"I'll check it out, you guys stay here," he instructed, looking back before walking step by step toward the Light Ball.

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Ran reached out and touched the Light Ball.

Before his eyes appeared the seven pillars he had just unearthed.

It was as if a voice told him he could only choose one of them.

If that was the case… then the knife it would be.

Xu Ran did not hesitate and made his choice immediately.

The next moment, Xu Ran's consciousness plunged into another realm of emptiness amidst the spinning world.

A silhouette began to coalesce in this void.

It was a child no older than five or six, wielding a knife longer than his own body, his expression stubborn and unyielding.

He stood there quietly, gripping the long knife, staring at Xu Ran with a look of challenge in his eyes.

Xu Ran was silent for a moment before picking up a long sword that appeared from nowhere, confronting the other.

Although he did not understand the purpose of all this, nor why he had to bully a five- or six-year-old child,

For now, he would just go along with the other's wishes.

After a brief exchange, Xu Ran spotted an opening and with a single strike wounded the young child, whose figure then vanished.

What appeared next was a boy around eleven or twelve years old, holding a knife.

After just one glance, Xu Ran let out a gasp of surprise.

For the boy with the knife bore such a striking resemblance to the child from moments before.

Brother or...

Without giving it too much thought, Xu Ran swung his sword to meet the attack of the young man coming at him with a blade of his own.

This time, it took Xu Ran a full twelve rounds to find an opening to strike at the youth's vital points.

As the young man's figure faded away, Xu Ran already had some guesses in his mind.

The previous two opponents had been the same person.

The young man was what the child would look like after growing up.

Because their swordsmanship originated from the same source, one could even clearly see the trajectory of the sword skills' growth.

As Xu Ran pondered, a third figure appeared.

This time standing before Xu Ran was a youth about seventeen or eighteen years old.

He also held a long sword, and his expression was just as stubborn and defiant.

Xu Ran no longer hesitated and swung his sword to engage in a flurry of combat with his opponent.

In the void space, only the lingering sound of two long swords colliding could be heard.

"Meow~" (How much longer until Xu Ran wakes up?)

Ziyun squatted on a stone the size of a head, looking at Xu Ran, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes shut tight, and a worried expression appeared on her face.

After touching the Light Ball, Xu Ran just sat down cross-legged on the ground and hadn't moved since, his expression changing continuously.

This left the five little ones unsure whether they should wake him up, so they could only stand guard around him, ensuring no other Transcendent Beings came to disturb him.

"Xi Lu~" (Wait a bit longer, I feel like Xu Ran is getting stronger.)

Star neighed, a contemplative look on its face.

Having linked with Xu Ran through the Star Oath many times, Star was the one among the five who was most familiar with Xu Ran's aura.

At that moment, it could feel that Xu Ran's aura was gradually becoming sharper, which was obviously a good sign.

"Chia~" (I've dug up another great thing.)

Cancan excitedly ran back from not far away, holding a piece of broken statue in her mouth, which she placed on the ground and then looked at Xu Ran, who remained seated cross-legged.

"Chia?" (Is he not better yet?)

"Chiu" (Not so fast.)

Twelve flew onto the statue to take a closer look, then disappointingly shook its head and fluttered its wings to the side.

The so-called great things Cancan referred to were simply some of the few things within the ruins that retained some degree of integrity.

However, these things themselves didn't hold much value.

"Chia~" (Alright then.)

Cancan shook her head and turned to leave in another direction, intending to search again.

After all, with Ziyun watching over, there definitely wouldn't be any problems.

"Xi Lu~" (Don't go too far away!)

Star neighed again, as usual issuing careful reminders.

Twelve glanced at Cancan, who was skiving, then at the nearby Firefly, who had found a spot on the ground and was seizing the opportunity to train hard, and sighed like a worried parent.

Firefly at least was sensible.

Not wanting the others to wait too long, Cancan quickly made her return.

But when Cancan showed up again, the other four couldn't help but display a look of surprise.

Because Cancan had returned with a creature in her mouth.

As Cancan set it down, the trembling creature, upon facing the approach of the other four, simply fainted on the spot.

"Chia~" (Just found it along the way, this guy seemed to be peeking at us.)

Cancan spoke casually.

Peeking...

Star stared at the creature before them, their face soon showing a realization.

"Xi Lu~" (It's the one that was following us in the dense forest before.)

"Chiu?" (Should we kill it?)

Twelve cocked its head, watching the fainted creature twitch at the sound of its question, eyes filling with mischief.

"Meow~" (There doesn't seem to be any threat from this guy, let's keep him.)

Ziyun leaned in for a closer look, feeling her paws itching slightly.

Round!

The creature was round!

Everything was fine after the Twelve Evolution except that it was no longer round, and curling up didn't feel the same.

Now she had finally come across another round creature!

Ziyun's heterochromatic eyes lit up instantly, filled with excitement.

Seeing this familiar gaze, Twelve shivered uncontrollably.
