Free Web NovelRunning two laps around the complex terrain of Lantern Ghost Island? Isn't that parkour?
Not long after Mingxi sent her message, a sky-blue Pet appeared out of thin air in front of her.
It was clearly teleported there.
Shui Youruo.
A Water and Ice dual-attribute Transcendent creature, Shi-level, a unique Transcendent creature found in Dragonflower Country.
If it leaves its homeland for too long, it will suffer severe acclimatization issues, its combat power will be greatly weakened, and in severe cases, it may even die. This cannot be treated with Pet skills; only a Beast Tamers's Pet Space can alleviate it.
However, when in the country, it activates a temporary characteristic: "Country's Blessing."
It feels energetic and enjoys everything it eats.
Its energy value and combat power will rapidly increase.
It's famously known throughout the alliance as the "Tyrannosaurus Rex at home, a worm when out."
At the same time, Shui Youruo is also one of the key protected Transcendent creatures in Dragonflower Country because this species was once on the verge of extinction.
About 1,200 years ago, a mad scientist from Luta Star noticed the Shui Youruo species and wanted to study the reasons for their acclimatization issues, hoping to uncover the secrets of biological genes.
He hired a large number of people in Dragonflower Country to extensively collect Shui Youruo through purchase, theft, and even hunting, including Pets that had already been contracted by Beast Tamers, and secretly transported them to Luta Star.
Many Shui Youruo died as a result.
The Shui Youruo clan suffered almost devastating damage in this man-made catastrophe.
Their numbers sharply declined, directly becoming an endangered species.
Even after over a thousand years of recuperation, the current number of this clan is still not large.
"Shui Shui."
Seeing Mingxi, Shui Youruo called out twice excitedly, seeming to be greeting her.
It tilted its large head, revealing curious eyes, and observed the Little Human in front of it.
And Mingxi was naturally observing it too.
Even though she had seen many exquisitely beautiful Pets before.
Mingxi couldn't help but be amazed by the creature in front of her.
Its body was like flowing water, with smooth, translucent lines, shimmering with a faint blue light.
Its fur resembled ice crystals, cold and smooth, as if it could refract the surrounding light. Especially its tail, a fish tail made of ice crystals, was absolutely a work of art meticulously crafted by the heavens.
A red Five-Star emblem was branded on its forehead, continuously emitting a warm glow.
This was the mark of the special trigger-type temporary characteristic: "Country's Blessing."
The red Five-Star represented the "Blessing of Dragonflower Country."
"Whoosh."
Water splashed, and ripples spread.
Water Domain, Shui Youruo's innate skill.
It allows a layer of water to surround its body, and its elegant and agile body can swim freely within it. A gentle flick of its tail can create a large splash.
Within the Water Domain, Shui Youruo possesses the ability of Flight.
"Hello."
Mingxi greeted politely, revealing her eight pearly white teeth.
The other party was, after all, her exclusive bodyguard for the next twenty-nine days, so respecting it was a must.
Shui Youruo's clear and translucent large eyes blinked, like a deep, tranquil lake, full of mystery.
Yet, it wasn't cold; instead, it gave off a warm feeling.
Just like its slightly upturned mouth, it seemed to be smiling forever.
"Shui Shui."
Shui Youruo called out twice more, its voice still soft and sweet.
Mingxi, the cute girl, was confused.
The importance of learning a foreign language well.
However, if Shui Youruo's appearance was beautiful, its voice was also so pleasant to the ear, it was simply a treat for voice-lovers. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
"This Pet's demeanor is completely opposite to Chu Yanwang. Speaking of which, does Chu Yanwang have some unspeakable special fetish?
Mingxi secretly mused.
She remembered that Chu Kuangsheng had a Shi-level Pet with both water and ice attributes, so she knew, without a doubt, that the Shui Youruo in front of her was his Pet.
Truly, a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.
Just as she thought this,
Mingxi was mercilessly slapped into Shui Youruo's Water Domain by its tail.
She understood the cow dung.
The sea cannot be measured, and a Beast cannot be judged by its appearance.
Using the sweetest voice, performing the wildest actions.
Shui Youruo, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ unrelated to gentleness, it only brings salt to true men.

Crashing waves against the shore, rain and rocks flying, lightning and dark clouds merging with the sky. freēwēbnovel.com
On a stormy night, along a rugged mountain path, a small figure stumbled through it.
She looked very disheveled.
The strong wind would occasionally bring unknown mysterious gifts, stuffing them onto her without warning.
If she refused, it would get angry.
Nowhere to reason.
Crossing mountains with a thousand peaks and valleys, traversing rapid rivers that rushed into the sea, running through dense forests overgrown with thorns...
Mingxi felt like she wasn't running around an island, but rather wandering back and forth through the eighteen layers of hell.
The experience was extremely poor.
She had originally expected to complete this training in 3 hours, but it was clear she had overestimated her abilities.
She had no idea about herself, and even less about Lantern Ghost Island.
She completed the first lap around the island in 2 hours, 58 minutes, and 43 seconds.
Not rounding up was her last stubbornness.
"So difficult."
Mingxi knelt ungracefully on the damp ground, her hair scattered like dough lumps all over her head.
Her brand-new waterproof training suit was twisted and torn, looking ragged.
"Shui Shui."
Shui Youruo lay in its Water Domain, leisurely flicking its tail, and she didn't know what it had just eaten, as it was picking its teeth with its sharp, long claws.
Mingxi: │ Enter text here ╹◡╹ │
Elegance, no longer in fashion.
Mingxi took a deep breath, ignored Shui Youruo's warm gaze and the fierce wind and rain around her, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
She began to review.
The terrain of Lantern Ghost Island was very complex, with a total of 4 dangerous areas along the way, and most of the time was spent in these four places.
Was there a way to pass through these areas quickly?
Adapt to local conditions? Avoid them?
There were also unignorable weather factors, her stamina consumption and recovery...
At this moment, Mingxi's brain cells were highly active, rapidly deducing various possibilities, analyzing the best methods and best routes.
Five minutes later, she patted her backside and stood up, setting off again.
This lap, she pushed her speed to the limit, without resting for even a second along the way.
It took 1 hour and 54 minutes.
It was an hour faster than the first lap, but Mingxi was still very dissatisfied.
Because this result didn't even meet her minimum expectation, which was one and a half hours.
It seemed the revolution had not yet succeeded, and Comrade Mingxi still needed to work hard.
Because the island run took too long, the sun had already climbed halfway up the mountain by the time she finished the entire course.
Of course, Lantern Ghost Island was perpetually covered in dark clouds, so the sun couldn't be seen at all, but by then, the sky was already bright.
Mingxi only allowed herself two minutes to rest before having Shui Youruo take her to Duanjian Sea.
Duanjian Sea specifically refers to a sea area 300 meters off the southwest coastline of Lantern Ghost Island.
