Chapter 456 Tyrant
Chi 118 and An 117 had collected too many good things, including over a dozen Nirvana Level pet eggs, and these were not ordinary Nirvana Level pet eggs, but the variant kind.
So many Ascenders would bust their heads open for these items if they were put up for sale.
Nevertheless, Tian Xun suggested to Lin Shen not to take these items. Lin Shen couldn't use Nirvana Level pet eggs at the moment, nor was it appropriate for him to use them for his nirvana; he could obtain them on his own strength after his nirvana without the need to keep them.
Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't take too many items. If this wasn't a concern, who would think these good things were too numerous?
There were also many spirit bases from the Nirvana Creatures that Lin Shen couldn't use either. Ascenders, lacking the Power of Nirvana, couldn't activate these spirit bases.
All the other various items were also the best of the best, primarily Nirvana Level items, dazzling Lin Shen.
"This pet launcher, I seem to remember it," Tian Xun said, taking a pet launcher out from inside.
Lin Shen was not impressed and continued his search for treasures among the items.
"I remember now, this pet launcher is the personal sidearm 'Tyrant' that the Furious King of the Di Man Tribe used since he was young, how did it end up here?" Tian Xun was growing more and more surprised.
"This is the King's sidearm?" Lin Shen was somewhat surprised but that was all.
The essence of a pet launcher was still contingent on one's own strength to activate it. Even if this was an Immortal Level pet gun, he couldn't activate nor use it if it was beyond his capability.
And he didn't have an Immortal Level pet capsule either; if a lower-level pet capsule was inserted, even if it could be activated, the capsule itself wouldn't withstand the firing power.
Therefore, for Lin Shen, a pet gun was merely a means for rapid pet deployment and wasn't of much use.
"It should be 'Tyrant,' but it can't fully be considered the Furious King's sidearm, as this pet gun was used by the Furious King before he ascended to his kingship. After that, he switched to another one," Tian Xun said.
Tian Xun tossed 'Tyrant' to Lin Shen, "This is a good item. You gave me the Angel Revolver for my nephew; you keep this one for yourself."
"Can I use this?" Lin Shen asked doubtfully.
"Yes, you can. 'Tyrant' was crafted by the pet gun manufacturing master of the Di Man Tribe, tailored specifically for the Furious King. It's unknown what special materials and secret techniques were used, but it can be used from the Base Mutation level all the way to Nirvana Level without becoming outdated.
It's said to have an impressive firing speed of a thousand, a rare pet gun that's uniformly usable across all levels," explained Tian Xun.
"A thousand firing speed... usable across all levels..." Lin Shen's eyes sparkled instantly, and he quickly loaded a pet capsule into it, eager to try it out.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bang!
Lin Shen pulled the trigger and found it to be much lighter than he expected, hardly needing any effort. Yet, the pet capsule was launched at an unimaginably high speed.
Bang!
Lin Shen only saw a blur before his eyes as the pet capsule, not even having time to transform into a pet in midair, smashed directly against the wall, shattering to pieces. The pet capsule was just an ordinary Crystal Base Level item, but due to its incredible speed, it still left a shallow dent on the wall.
"It's so fast..." Lin Shen was both shocked and overjoyed. This pet gun was simply perfect for Seven Steps of Conflict.
With a speed of a thousand, even if he used all his skills, he couldn't reach such speed.
"Stable... stable... no need to fear being unable to escape from strong enemies in the future..." Lin Shen was extremely delighted inside, fondling 'Tyrant', and almost unable to put it down.
The gun was ash-gray, and its design was somewhat like a Desert Eagle with a scope attached, but it was a bit larger than a Desert Eagle.
"Baby, help me take a look, see if there's anything good left inside," Lin Shen put away the Tyrant.
"There's too much stuff, take your time to look," Tian Xun continued searching through the treasure.
As Lin Shen searched as well, the Death Powder coiled around him suddenly shot out from his body, its front end enlarging dramatically, and it swallowed something in one gulp.
Lin Shen hadn't even seen clearly what it had swallowed before the deed was done.
However, considering that the nearby items were all Spirit Base, it must have swallowed a Spirit Base.
"This thing is getting greedier and greedier," Lin Shen reached out and pulled the Death Powder back.
The Death Powder shrank back to its normal size, and after Lin Shen pulled it back, it didn't coil around him again. Instead, it tried to burrow into Lin Shen's backpack.
"What on earth is this thing trying to do?" Lin Shen was greatly puzzled as he wondered what it was intending to do inside the backpack.
"Could it be that it's about to evolve again and is planning to do so inside my backpack?" Lin Shen thought about it and felt something was off.
Suddenly, Lin Shen was startled and quickly reached into his backpack to pull out the sleeping Fei Zai (Fatty).
He suspected the Death Powder was trying to sneak attack and consume Fei Zai, and that was something he could not allow.
The Death Powder had already burrowed into the backpack with no interest in Fei Zai.
"That's not right... Fatty looks harmless, but in reality, he's very powerful. He's probably already at Nirvana Level. There's no way Death Powder could swallow him..." Lin Shen realized his mistake, but it was already too late.
He pulled out the Death Powder and checked the contents of the backpack, his expression changing slightly. The Reincarnation Ashes of the True Extreme Slaying Evil Divine Light were gone.
The Death Powder's body started glowing with a purple light, which quickly enveloped its entire body in purple radiance, and flames of light rose from it.
"Your pet is about to achieve Nirvana," Tian Xun said with interest as he looked at the Death Powder wrapped in purple flames, "It seems that it's using the Reincarnation Ashes of the True Extreme Slaying Evil Divine Light for its Nirvana. Its attack power must become incredibly strong. It's a pity that you can't achieve Nirvana yet, so for the time being, you can't make use of it."
Experience exclusive tales on empire
Lin Shen felt the same way. Death Powder was his main combat pet, and he didn't mind giving it the Reincarnation Ashes.
But the creature had only recently ascended, and Lin Shen had yet to use it in battle. Now, before it even demonstrated any strength, it was about to achieve Nirvana again.
If it achieved Nirvana, and Lin Shen hadn't, he still wouldn't be able to use it.
Lin Shen seriously suspected that it was deliberately biding its time to avoid making an effort.
Luckily, using the Reincarnation Ashes for Nirvana didn't carry much risk. With Death Powder's abilities, Nirvana would undoubtedly be successful, so Lin Shen didn't need to worry.
"Its Nirvana will take a long time. Let's continue looking for stuff," Tian Xun went on searching through the pile of items.
"There's an Ascension Egg here," Tian Xun pointed out, referring to a Pet Egg, "The two of them collected Nirvana Eggs. Ascension eggs are almost useless to them. To have set aside this particular Ascension Egg, there must be something special about it. You should take it and hatch it; you might find it useful."
