The three Spiky Honey Badgers pounced on them, using their claws and fangs to show their determination to defend their nest.
Their courage was commendable, but reality was cruel. The three Spiky Honey Badgers had been roaming the area for a long time, and this time, they finally met their match. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, was able to escape unscathed from a group of level-8 and level-9 magicians in front of the council. Facing three level-7 Spiky Honey Badgers was no trouble at all. The only thing they had to be careful of was not letting any of them escape. It would be best if they could kill all of them in one go. Otherwise, they would not be able to have a moment of peace in this swamp.
Luo Bu made his move, casting a Tier 2 Water Spell at the three Spiky Honey Badgers. As expected, these badgers were fierce. They had no intention of dodging the large water ball that appeared in front of them. Pushing off the ground with their powerful hind legs, they leaped into the air and plunged into the water ball. Their beady eyes shone with a ferocious light. They knew very well that the water ball wouldn't be able to stop them. In less than half a second, they would be able to escape.
However, just as they leaped into the water ball, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and landed on the water ball.
The next moment, the three Spiky Honey Badgers convulsed in the water ball, as if they had eaten Stride. They could not stop at all.
Rob had no intention of harming their lives. He walked over and picked up the rock covered in scratches, then left with Lolo.
The three unlucky badgers were left unconscious on the ground. When they woke up, they could not find any trace of them.
Following that, Rob and Lolo went to a few other places and successfully obtained the materials that Matata mentioned.
However, they ran into some trouble at the fourth place. It was an island in the middle of a lake. Its surface area was about half tilted, and a Luminous Turtle lived on the island.
As the name suggested, this was actually an ornamental magical beast. It was gentle and was only level-1 under normal circumstances. It got its name because its shell would emit a faint blue glow in the dark. It was very popular among rich and noble ladies, and the market price of each one had risen to 200 gold coins. However, these Luminous Turtles were only the size of a palm.
Who knew how this thing, which was originally treated as a pet, grew to such a size. Its huge body alone took up half of the island. Rob estimated that this turtle had the strength of a level-9 magical beast.
This was not good news. Any creature that reached level-9 would be difficult to deal with. Almost all magical beasts had strong bodies, and magic was only one of their means of attack. Rob could not use the same method he used against the council to deal with this Luminous Turtle.
The future Supreme Magister glanced at the island in the middle of the lake and did not see the bead that Matata was talking about.
Could it be that it was swallowed by this guy? Otherwise, there was no way to explain how this pet tortoise could suddenly evolve to such a level. Although magical beasts had a strong body and could master magic as soon as they were born, their growth was basically fixed. Except for some special existences, basically, from infancy to maturity, their strength would only fluctuate between two or three levels.
Fortunately, although this Luminous Turtle's strength had increased to level-9, its personality did not change much. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, its favorite thing to do was to bask in the sun. Unfortunately, the geographical environment of the eighth floor was special. Because of the layer of fog, it could not bask in the sun comfortably.
When Luo Bu and Luo Luo arrived at the edge of the island, it also noticed the two humans. However, it lazily didn't react. With its strength, basically no one on the eighth layer would dare to provoke it. Even if it couldn't defeat it, it could just hide in its shell, and those enemies couldn't do anything to it.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor was having a headache. With Rob's current skills, he was not afraid of those level-9 magical beasts that were strong in offense but weak in defense. However, he could not do anything to this creature that focused all its skill points on defense.
If it was other materials, he could find them in another place. However, according to Matata, there was only one pearl in the entire dungeon that could shield the aura of origin power. Of course, he could also try his luck in other dungeons, but that would be a last resort. Who knew which dungeon would have it? Moreover, there might be even more troublesome opponents there. Therefore, the best result was that he could obtain the pearl here.
Bevinadet was gloating at Lin Li's misfortune. She was very unhappy that Lin Li had used her as a magic crystal, but now that she saw Lin Li suffer, she was in a good mood again. She even looked at the Luminous Tortoise in front of her with beautiful eyes and brows.
However, she was only happy for less than half a minute before she was captured by Rob.
The future Supreme Magus pondered for a moment and decided to find out the truth first. Even if he had to fight, he had to at least find out if the orb was in the hands of the Luminous Tortoise. It would be best if he could negotiate with it.
That bead was undoubtedly very important to the Lightning-luminescent Tortoise. Perhaps it was thanks to that bead that it was able to successfully advance to the Ninth Order. Now that it was already in the Ninth Order, the bead was no longer as important to it as before. Ever since Luo Bu returned to the academy to pick up his equipment, he had quite a few good items on him. He could make a deal with the Lightning-luminescent Tortoise.
Although magical beasts were not like abyssal monsters that only knew how to kill, their intelligence was still very low compared to humans. They were still at the level of wild beasts. Most of them were driven by their instincts. Their limbs were well-developed, but their brains were simple. However, this did not include those level-9 magical beasts. After evolving to this level, they would already have a certain level of intelligence and could negotiate.
However, Rob was worried that this Luminous Turtle wouldn't be at ease with a human it was meeting for the first time. After some thought, he decided to let his magic pet go. Both of them were magical beasts, so it should be easier for them to communicate.
In the end, this damn bird dawdled for a while before reluctantly flying to the island.
As soon as the bird and tortoise met, the future Supreme Magus knew that he had been fooled by his pet again. This bastard obviously recognized the tortoise in front of him and it wasn't the first time he had met it. Come to think of it, this guy was brought to the first floor by someone. Based on its rarity, it would make sense for it to be in the eighth or ninth floor.
