Chapter 39: Demon Pet Card

A martial artist in the realm of the Second Awakening of Mortals brought fifty-one points of fierceness to Lu Li at once. However, in terms of fierceness alone, Lu Li seemed to be at a disadvantage, as he had exhausted all his fierceness values to kill this opponent.

With the death of the Heavenly Brilliance Envoy, a drop of essence blood entered the Red Sleeve Sword. The Red Sleeve Sword trembled with excitement, and even Lu Li could keenly feel the joy of the sword spirit.

At this moment, Lu Li's body felt weak, and this one strike had depleted all his strength. Using the Red Sleeve Sword to support his body, even an ordinary person could easily kill him at this point.

Taking a moment to recuperate, Lu Li swallowed a Revitalizing Qi Pill. As the medicinal power diffused, Lu Li's condition improved slightly.

From the headless corpse of the Heavenly Brilliance Envoy, Lu Li found an advanced storage ring. With the Heavenly Brilliance Envoy dead, the storage ring only required a bit of Lu Li's spiritual power to open.

Upon inspecting the internal space of the storage ring, Lu Li was momentarily stunned. Near the East Forest City, it seemed that the mountain bandits were indeed prosperous. The contents of this ring were sufficient for Lu Li to use for a while.

Not to mention other things, there was a heap of pills in the ring alone. At this moment, they were all bottled, and Lu Li couldn't identify the specific types of pills.

As for gold and silver, they were piled up like a mountain, easily amounting to several hundred thousand taels. No wonder the Dragon City Lord sent people to kill this Heavenly Brilliance Envoy; it was simply a mobile treasure trove.

Apart from these, Lu Li even saw a spiritual weapon—a long sword. Although it wasn't a spiritual treasure, it was still decent.

All these items were stowed away in the system space by Lu Li. He had already heard the sound of trees breaking from the approaching Ironclad Rhino at this point, so it was time to run.

With his strength at the Meridian Connection Realm, his spiritual power had long been depleted. Even if it were just a few ordinary mountain bandits, he would have to escape.

"Host, the demon pet card for that demon pet is in the host's hand!"

"Is that wooden board the demon pet card? How is it used?"

"Host only needs to recognize it with a drop of blood; that demon pet is currently ownerless. In a moment, it won't be possible to recognize a new owner!"

Lu Li couldn't afford to delay and quickly took out the demon pet card, dripping a drop of blood onto it. Although the connection between him and the Ironclad Rhino was severed when the Heavenly Brilliance Envoy died, as long as a drop of the Ironclad Rhino's essence blood was in the demon pet card, Lu Li could still recognize it.

Of course, if he were a step slower and waited until the drop of essence blood in the demon pet card dissipated, Lu Li wouldn't be able to recruit this demon pet anymore.

As Lu Li finished dripping blood, the demon pet card quickly absorbed the drop of blood like a sponge.

At this moment, the Ironclad Rhino had already rushed out of the old forest. Its massive figure entered Lu Li's sight.

The Ironclad Rhino glanced at the headless corpse on the ground and then at Lu Li. A hint of struggle appeared in the eyes of the Ironclad Rhino.

Beasts possessed intelligence, and the higher the rank, the more intelligent they became. Some advanced beasts were even comparable to humans.

Following that, the struggle in the Ironclad Rhino's eyes gradually faded, and it approached Lu Li!

Lu Li touched the back of the Ironclad Rhino, which was taller than a person and as solid as cast iron.

"I didn't expect to acquire a demon pet at the Second Awakening Realm. Compared to other gains, you are the most satisfying."

Lu Li directly mounted the Ironclad Rhino. Down the mountain, Lu Li stored the Ironclad Rhino in the demon pet card and threw it into the system space.

Along the way, nothing happened. Only the two individuals who had come together had now met their end in the old forest.

This was the best outcome. With only Lu Li alive, he could say whatever he wanted.

Arriving at East Forest City, Lu Li didn't go to the Lord's Mansion. He and Dragon City Lord were not master-servant, and there was no need to report the incident. If the Dragon City Lord wanted to know, someone would naturally come to inquire.

When he reached the courtyard gate, he saw Xiao Zhao waiting there as usual. Every time he returned from a trip, he could see the figure of this girl, like an anxious appearance of waiting for her husband to return, which moved Lu Li deeply.

Dismounting, Lu Li directly grabbed Luo Xiao Zhao's hand. Now, this girl was already accustomed to being pulled by Lu Li and didn't blush as she did at the beginning.

"I have something for you!"

Entering the courtyard, Lu Li closed the gate and leaned against it. In his hand, there was now a silver box, worth several taels of silver just for its construction.
