The Starlight Beast was a rare monster. In the entire Division7, it was only found in the Meteorite Desert.
The monster looked like a mechanical creature. It walked on two legs and most of its body was orange-red. Under the light, it reflected a metallic glow. Its face was turquoise and it looked like it was wearing a turquoise mask. Other than its eyes, there was nothing else on its face. Its four arms were like antennae, blue and green in color. There was a purple crystal the size of a fist in the chest cavity below the neck.
The purple crystal was known as the Star Stone. It could absorb the energy of the stars at night and it was the source of energy for the Starlight Beast. Because of this, monsters like the Starlight Beast that possessed the Star Stone were known as the Star Spirit.
The Starlight Beast had three main skills.
The first was weaponization. It could turn its arms and antennae into weapons. It was similar to the Blood Power of a vampire. The second was Extreme Speed. It could instantly move and attack at a terrifying speed. The third was Blink. It could teleport within a small area within its control.
Because of the last two skills, the Starlight Beast was extremely difficult to kill.
Moreover, they had high intelligence and knew how to avoid humans. Unlike most monsters that would wander around their territory and attack humans as soon as they saw one. In the end, they would be killed by humans. The Starlight Beast would usually avoid conflict with humans. That was why they were rarely discovered.
Killing a Starlight Beast would give one the Extreme Speed Life Seed. Its talent was the explosive power of both movement and attack speed. After leveling up to transcendent, this talent would evolve into a secret skill called Teleportation. It would allow one to teleport a short distance.
"This monster's Life Seed looks pretty good. Before I become a transcendent, this talent could make up for my only shortcoming. It would allow me to increase my speed to the next level. After I become a transcendent, this speed secret skill seems to be very powerful. Since Master recommended it, he must have considered the effects of this secret skill after I become a transcendent. It seems like this Life Seed is the best choice for me in the gold-level. " Lin Huang read through the Starlight Beast's information and confirmed his Life Seed monster. He immediately went online and searched for the location of the Meteorite Desert.
"Meteorite Desert …"
The map quickly popped up in front of him, and when he saw the location of the Meteorite Desert marked in yellow on the map, Lin Huang couldn't help but frown. This was because the yellow area was located in the northwest corner of Division7. From Winter City, where Lin Huang was, he had to cross more than half of the Seventh Division. It was at least 50% further than the distance from the Purple Crow Training Camp to Wulin Town.
"So far!" This distance was beyond Lin Huang's expectations.
Lin Huang had to book the tickets to the long-distance portal at least a month in advance. Including the time spent on the road, the round trip would take at least three months.
At the thought of the inconvenience of transportation, Lin Huang felt a little depressed. The surface area of this world was too vast. If there was no teleportation device, it would be very inconvenient to travel.
"If only Teacher had a teleportation device, he could directly teleport me over. Even if I have to think of a way to get back, I can at least save one and a half months. " Lin Huang planned to ask Mr. Fu if he had a relic like the Dimensional Door before he left.
After deciding on the Life Seed monster, Lin Huang looked at the other two pieces of information.
The information of the parasites that Mr. Fu sent was much more complete than what Lin Huang saw in the monster encyclopedia. Not only were there more species, but the description of the individual was also more detailed. Obviously, the version of the monster encyclopedia that Mr. Fu had was more advanced than the one that he got from Yi Zheng.
Lin Huang read until noon. He had purposely selected the parasites that had survival skills and other special skills, but he had not even finished reading half of it.
He decided to be lazy and ordered takeaway for lunch. However, it took him a few minutes to prepare the barbecue for Lin Xuan. He then returned to the living room to read the monster encyclopedia.
When the takeaway arrived, Lin Xin and Lin Xuan logged out of the Gun Master game. Lin Huang's performance on the first day had given Lin Xin a lot of stimulation. She dragged Lin Xuan into the Gun Master game early in the morning to train him. They only logged out of the game in the afternoon.
"Brother, are you going to train in the afternoon?" Lin Xin asked after swallowing a mouthful of rice at the dining table.
"Not today, I have something else to do." Lin Huang shook his head. He planned to finish reading the information and find three suitable skills for the Demonic Dandelion Vine. "You guys go ahead, don't worry about me."
"Oh." Lin Xin was happy to hear that. Since Lin Huang was not going to train, it meant that she had the chance to catch up with him in terms of gunfighting skills.
After lunch, she dragged Lin Xuan upstairs immediately. She did not want to miss even a minute of training.
Lin Huang saw that she was in a hurry and guessed what she was thinking. He shook his head and smiled.
After clearing the dining table, he returned to the living room and continued reading the information on the sofa.
Under normal circumstances, if a monster wanted to inherit a monster's skill, it would have to kill a monster of the same type to steal it. Parasites could only steal the skills of parasites but not other types of monsters. This was determined by the Life Seed in the monster's body. Skills of different Life Seeds were not compatible.
Of course, this was not absolute, with the exception of a few special monsters. For example, there was a monster called the Hunter Martial Honorable. They could steal most of the skills of other monsters. They could even kill humans and steal their combat skills … However, it was rare to see such a monster that did not have to follow the rules.
As for the Demonic Dandelion Vine, Lin Huang planned to treat it as a normal monster that would hunt other parasites.
"Although the Hard Skin skill can increase its defense, it's too ordinary …"
"The Enhanced Regeneration skill is not bad. It fits the Demonic Dandelion Vine's plant characteristics …"
"The Plant Camouflage skill allows the Demonic Dandelion Vine to disguise itself as any plant. It looks good too …"
…
Lin Huang looked through them one by one and selected them carefully. When it was past four in the afternoon, he saw an ability that shocked him.
"Supreme Intelligence … This skill is awesome …" Lin Huang read about a parasite called the Brain Eater.
The Brain Eater would eat the host's brain as soon as it entered the host's body. It would then replace the host's brain and take over the body's functions. Once the parasite was complete, it would receive sufficient nutrition and its intelligence would grow rapidly under the effect of the Supreme Intelligence skill. It would then learn everything in the host's environment.
With the help of the Supreme Intelligence skill, its intelligence was comparable to the top human geniuses. Its learning speed was terrifying. It would only take a few days to learn a gold-level combat skill. Its learning speed was comparable to that of Lin Huang who had a Goldfinger.
However, this kind of monster had a special weakness, which was that they had to eat at least once a month to find fresh brains to eat. If it did not get any after the feeding time, it would be extremely weak and would die within 48 hours.
"I wonder where I can find a monster like the Brain Eater. If the Demonic Dandelion Vine could really obtain Supreme Intelligence, its control over the parasites would be even harder to detect. " Lin Huang remembered that the people who were infected by the parasites in Xiaoxia City had lost their minds as soon as they found out that he was their target. If the Demonic Dandelion Vine had a higher intelligence, it would not have exposed itself to the parasites.
After deciding on Supreme Intelligence, Lin Huang quickly picked another two skills. One was the Enhanced Regeneration skill while the other was the Plant Camouflage. After looking around, he did not find any good defensive skills among the parasites. Hence, he chose the Camouflage skill.
It was past 10 at night when he was done.
When it was past 6 p.m., Lin Xin and Lin Xuan ordered takeout for dinner. He did not eat it as his portion was kept in the oven.
