Chapter 278 - 278 Training 5
Yet the Golden Retriever managed to succeed, and with such ease. This was hard for Azrul to believe. If it had been his master's battle pets, Blux or Rainbow, achieving this, Azrul might have accepted it.
After all, in Azrul's eyes, those two battle pets were unfathomable. However, the fact that it was Azrul's most familiar companion, the Golden Retriever, who ultimately killed the human faced pumpkin was hard for him to believe.
In his eyes, while the Golden Retriever was indeed a commendable battle pet, it wasn't supposed to be this extraordinary. There must be something else at play.
Yes, it had to be luck, sheer luck. Next time, if faced with the human faced pumpkin again, the Golden Retriever might not stand a chance.
"Master, Golden Retriever's luck is truly exceptional..." Azrul exclaimed in admiration.
Upon hearing this, Ethen's expression turned a bit peculiar. He knew that when Azrul referred to luck, he simply meant being fortunate.
But how could Azrul know that the Golden Retriever's luck wasn't merely coincidental but rather an innate talent, a skill?
"Hehe, indeed, it's good luck," Ethen nodded and smiled.
At this moment, Ethen had a newfound understanding of the Golden Retriever's capabilities.
He realized that the role of the Golden Retriever couldn't be measured by its current power level. After all, luck is incredibly important. How many top experts have met their demise simply due to bad luck?
In Ethen's eyes, the Golden Retriever's luck attribute not only significantly simplifies its own progression challenges but also provides substantial support to Ethen himself.
Having played games and experienced the randomness of loot boxes, Ethen was well aware of the importance of luck. After all, who wouldn't prefer to be fortunate rather than unfortunate?
"How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"
Ethen walked over, crouched down, and carefully examined Azrul's injured ankle.
"It's much better now. It was just a sprain, and adjusting it did the trick," Azrul said.
"Alright, if it doesn't affect your movement, we'll continue onward," Ethen nodded.
"If it's not a problem, let's keep going."
Azrul's ankle indeed didn't hurt anymore, so he stood up immediately and followed Ethen as they ventured deeper into the forest. Before long, they encountered a terrifying giant ape that looked incredibly fierce.
This giant ape stood about three meters tall, with fists like hammers and nostrils as large as fists. Its pitch black face made it look especially frightening.
The giant ape possessed a Bronze level one cultivation, making it a relatively powerful magical beast in this area.
With a Bronze level magical beast, Azrul's battle pet wouldn't stand a chance. Without hesitation, he sensibly retreated to a safer distance, leaving the battlefield to Ethen.
"Golden Retriever, activate skill 3 [Howl]!"
Ethen commanded the Golden Retriever to activate Skill 3: Howl. Skill 3 is a mental type ability. As the Golden Retriever howled, an unexpected hint of fear appeared in the giant ape's eyes.
Though it was of the same level as the Golden Retriever and even much larger in size, it shouldn't logically be afraid of it.
Yet, for some reason, the terrifying giant ape felt as if it was facing not a dog, but a dreadful demon.
The Golden Retriever's howl was like an eerie sound from the depths of the abyss, instilling fear in the giant ape's heart.
Sensing that its vital energy and blood were slightly stagnated by the Golden Retriever's howl, the giant ape realized the danger and immediately turned to flee.
Since the giant ape was already more than 20 meters away from the Golden Retriever and started running suddenly, the gap between them quickly widened to over 50 meters.
The Golden Retriever was not slow, but neither was the terrifying giant ape. If the giant ape was determined to escape, it would be difficult for the Golden Retriever to catch up with its speed.
"Damn it!"
Encountering a Bronze level magical beast here was a rare opportunity, and Ethen wouldn't let it escape easily.
"Golden Retriever, use Skill 4!"
Seeing this, Ethen immediately ordered the Golden Retriever to use skill 4 [Lucky Aura]. The lucky aura had an effective duration of only one minute.
As the silver white halo appeared above the Golden Retriever's head, the countdown began. This time, there was no scenario of the Golden Retriever riding the wind in a wild chase of the terrifying giant ape.
However, the impact of the lucky aura manifested in a different way. As the terrifying giant ape ran, it accidentally got its foot tangled in vines. This mishap caused it to fall into a muddy quagmire.
"Roar, roar!"
The terrifying giant ape pounded its chest and roared angrily, trying to break free from the annoying vines.
Yet the more it struggled, the tighter the vines wrapped around its feet. With the giant ape ensnared by the vines, the Golden Retriever had ample time to catch up.
"Woof!"
Quickly, the Golden Retriever closed the distance and launched its attack on the terrifying giant ape.
Despite its formidable overall strength, being a creature known for its fighting prowess, the giant ape found its heroics cut short. Entangled by the vines, it was unable to move freely and couldn't even utilize a tenth of its true power.
This provided the Golden Retriever with a significant advantage. Under the Golden Retriever's relentless attacks, the terrifying giant ape ultimately succumbed to its severe injuries and died on the spot.
The Golden Retrievered one achieved another great victory. The key to this victory was still Skill 4: [Lucky Aura].
Ethen once again experienced the power of the Golden Retriever's lucky aura. He was greatly impressed but, at the same time, a bit puzzled.
During the terrifying giant ape's escape, the suddenly appearing vines looked very much like the skill of the "Human Faced Pumpkin."
What exactly is going on here? Ethen slightly frowned. Sensing the confusion in Ethen's heart, the Golden Retriever transmitted a thought provoking message to him through its mind.
