Chapter 143: Devour Skill

The tyrannosaurus clearly did not know what had happened. It had just lowered its body and slowly moved forward to block the lotus flying knife. At this moment, the petals that were flying in the sky had disappeared.
Its heart was wild with joy, and it roared at the sky again.
As expected, even Nero’s body was covered with a [ deterrence ] effect. This was enough to prove that the tyrannosaurus was above Nero, because high-grade pet beasts were almost not affected by the negative effects of low-grade pet beasts.
However, Nero was not a speed-type pet beast, so there was no special meaning in reducing its speed by 50% .
It just stood there motionlessly. In the eyes of the tyrannosaurus, it had given up fighting and was waiting to die.
The tyrannosaurus drooled and ran towards Nero at high speed!
Just when it thought it was going to succeed, two vines appeared at its feet. It ran so fast that it did not have time to brake. Its body lost its balance and fell towards Nero.
“It really tripped.” Fang Yuan actually just wanted to try his luck. It was the last resort. When the tyrannosaurus ran, its body leaned forward. If it ran at full speed and its feet tripped on a hard object, there was a high chance that it would fall.
And the place where it fell was right in front of Nero.
Although Nero fought most of the time with plant moves, it had another identity, which was the giant lizard.
It was also a pet carnivore. After it evolved to diamond grade, it even had the devour skill.
Last time, Nero had wanted to eat the Holy Armored Beast, which was out of Fang Yuan’s plan. Fang Yuan did not want to directly take away the pet of others.
This time, Fang Yuan had no reason to stop it.
The moment the tyrannosaurus fell in front of Nero, Nero wrapped four vines tightly around its feet to prevent it from standing up, and then bit the neck of the tyrannosaurus.
No matter how the other party struggled, it would not let go.
The tyrannosaurus opened its mouth and bit everywhere, but it could not reach Nero. It could only bite empty air, and blood was oozing out of its mouth.
Fang Yuan closed his eyes. He did not want to see such a scene. It was not because of his nature, but he really did not like to see blood.
Not long after, the tyrannosaurus lost its vital signs and stopped struggling. Its eyes were wide open, and its tongue was sticking out, drooping on the ground.
Nero seemed to have not eaten for a long time. It was gobbling down its food, and the sound it made made Fang Yuan shudder.
After eating, Nero stuck out its tongue and licked the blood off its mouth.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bloodthirsty guy,” Nero said to Fang Yuan, “In fact, by devouring other pet beasts, I can achieve independent evolution. If you don’t believe me, you can check my status.”
Fang Yuan nodded and checked Nero’s status through spiritual sense. Its grade had actually risen to diamond intermediate-grade, and its level had also risen to level-15-intermediate.
“Is this the ability to devour?” Fang Yuan asked curiously, “If so, won’t you be invincible if you devour a few more pet beasts?”
No wonder it showed an excited expression when it learned that it had evolved into a diamond. With this skill, it was simply an unlimited growth.
“No, it can only devour pets that are higher than me. Moreover, through devouring, I obtained one of its skills. Do you want to see its information?”
There was such a good thing?
Fang Yuan quickly nodded and signaled Nero to show him the information about the tyrannosaurus.
[ Scientific name: Alloyed Tyrannosaurus. ]
[ Bloodline: None. ]
[ Quality: Diamond intermediate-grade. ]
[ Level: Level-15-intermediate. ]
[ Attributes: Dragon, physics ]
[ Positioning: Attack, support, control ]
[ Skills: 1. Deterrence, 2. Bite, 3. Life steal, 4. Critical Strike, 5. Song of Tremors. ]
Seeing the name of the skills, sweat trickled down Fang Yuan’s forehead. The other skills were still alright. He was definitely the king of close combat physics. Three of them were passive while one was active.
However, that move that made Xiao Jin and Ah Li unable to move was actually called Song of Tremors. That was worthy of being called a song…
“Then which skill did you learn?” Fang Yuan asked Nero curiously. If it was Song of Tremors, it would be great. It had almost reached the level of complete control as one could not even fly, and only passively take the beating.
“Unfortunately, I learned the deterrence skill,” Nero said mockingly, seeing through Fang Yuan’s thoughts.
In fact, the deterrence skill was not bad either. It had half of the effect of Song of Tremors on pets below the same grade and below. As long as its grade increased, it would be fine.
However, Fang Yuan really did not expect to encounter a diamond intermediate-grade pet beast just as he entered the deeper part of the forest. It would probably be more dangerous if he went in.
He suddenly thought of something and ran to the carcass of the tyrannosaurus to search. He found a [ alloy dragon claw ] .
[ Ding. Alloy Dragon Claw detected. Grade: Diamond intermediate-grade ]
[ Do you want to proceed with 100 times increase? ]
[ Host can choose from the following increase methods. ]
[ First, give up the 100 times increase, and obtain a diamond intermediate-grade alloy dragon claw. ]
[ Second, proceed with 100 times increase in quality, and obtain the diamond high-grade alloy dragon claw. ]
[ Third, proceed with 100 times increase in effect, and obtain the diamond intermediate-grade alloy dragon claw (strengthened). ]
Diamond intermediate-grade alloy dragon claw: A weapon of a reptile-type pet. It increased attack by 15% after equipping. It could be used as a smelting material to obtain alloy powder;
Diamond high-grade alloy dragon claw: A weapon of a reptile-type pet. It increased attack by 20% after equipping. It could be used as a smelting material to obtain alloy powder;
Diamond intermediate grade alloy dragon claw (strengthened): It increased attack by 25% after equipping. It could be used as a smelting material to obtain alloy powder
Fang Yuan felt that this strengthening system was quite interesting. This 100 times strengthened strength was more significant than the 100 times strengthened quality to improve the equipment.
Without hesitation, he chose three. Fang Yuan obtained the strengthened dragon claw and threw it to Nero, saying, “Can you equip this thing?”
This thing was directly absorbed into Nero’s body, but there was no change in its appearance. Fang Yuan asked with confusion, “You can use it now?”
“What did you give me?” Nero did not answer Fang Yuan, but asked back instead. “I only feel that my desire to attack has become stronger.”
“It’s a material dropped by the tyrannosaurus, it should only increase your lethality. Do you feel It?”
“Yes, I feel that my vines are more powerful.”
“Don’t you know about pet equipment?” In Fang Yuan’s heart, Nero was almost an omniscient existence, but it seemed that it knew nothing about the effects of the equipment just now.
“No, I don’t know what that is,” Nero answered frankly, “That is probably the power that only you humans can sense.”
Was there such a thing?
The pet beast could sense the power of nature, but it could not feel the power of the equipment. In its eyes, it had just touched the alloy dragon claw and it had already fused into its body. It did not even know what had happened.
Was the concept of equipment invented by humans?
