Chapter 29: The Scene Outside the City Gate
"Zila-"
The purple light cluster contained violent power, and after hitting the green energy target in mid-air, it exploded, turning into a ball of arc cages with a diameter of three meters.
A petite figure with a body haunted by electric light shuttled freely through countless red attack energy, and at the same time used claws, teeth, tails and other body parts to fiercely attack one blue energy target after another that randomly appeared from around its body.
"It's over!"
Seeing the end of the three-hour countdown, Xu Ran pressed the stop button without hesitation.
The three-color energy dissipated in the training room, and the movements of the petite figure in the empty room came to an abrupt end.
The arc of electricity that swirled around the body dissipated, revealing the purple clouds that enveloped it.
"Meow~" (Is it time?) )
Ziyun jumped lightly twice, and rushed into Xu Ran's arms, with a somewhat unfinished look on his face.
Compared to the last training session, this time it feels like it is in better shape and has improved a lot.
"It's been three hours." Xu Ran nodded, and knocked on Ziyun's head lightly, "Training should also be a combination of work and rest, don't forget how tired your spirit is after three hours of training last time." ”
Under Xu Ran's prompting, thinking of the last time he fell asleep, Ziyun couldn't help but shrink his head.
"There is still a potion left this time, and we can come back later." Xu Ran revealed, and then smiled, "But next time it should be after coming back from the city." ”

Blood ★ Fury (Stardust) (11/100)】
Glancing at Ziyun's panel, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction.
The last time I came to the training room, I only trained the three skills of electric spark, arc and self-healing, but this time Xu Ran replanned the training method and added the melee energy target item, so that he could train the combat instinct at the same time.
The skill of blood anger can also be trained, and Xu Ran found that when the physical strength potion takes effect, the side effects of weakening for a period of time after the outbreak of blood anger can be greatly reduced, and he only needs to rest for a while before he can use it again.
It was a bonus.
With such an explosive and desperate skill, it is very difficult to increase proficiency under normal means.
"We're out of town tomorrow, and we've got to go back and pack our things." Xu Ran touched Ziyun's head, "Although it will be able to rush back in a few hours if it goes well, after all, it is the first time to go, and it is not a bad thing to be well prepared." ”
"Here, try this."
As he walked out of the training room, he pulled out a small bag like a trick, opened it and took out a biscuit shaped like a cat's head and fed it to Ziyun.
"Meow?" (What is this?) )
Ziyun sniffed curiously, and then his eyes lit up instantly, and he chewed the cat's head biscuit and swallowed it with a "whoa", revealing a satisfied look.
Delicious!
It tastes even better than purple jelly beans!
"It's quite fragrant." Xu Ran smelled the aroma that overflowed after opening the bag, and couldn't help but pick up a small piece and put it in his mouth.
Well... It's crispy and full of meat, but the taste is a little light.
Looking at Xu Ran, who was eating his own snacks, Ziyun blinked, shocked.
Beastmaster he... Actually to yourself...
Snacks to make such a thing!
One person and one pet ate the bag of cat snacks drawn by the system lottery, and the Spark boarding store in the twilight was already close at hand.
Go upstairs, pack your bags, and go to bed.
Nothing was said all night.
-----------------
Early the next morning, Xu Ran put on the marching bag he had packed last night on his back and looked at Ziyun, who was following him and planning to go out together.
"Actually, you can be at home." He smiled dumbly, "If something happens, I can call you at any time." ”
"Meow~" (Don't!) )
Ziyun shook his head without hesitation.
It shouldn't be separated from Xu Ran!
"Okay, let's go together." Xu Ran held Ziyun in his arms, and then took out a faintly glowing lucky charm pendant and put it around his neck, covering it with his collar.
Everything.
"Let's go!"
Following the navigation, a person and a pet soon appeared at the city gate.
The city gate has not yet opened, but thousands of people have gathered inside the city gate, and they are in groups of three or five, most of them followed by powerful pet beasts.
The sound of human conversation and the various voices of pet beasts are mixed together, giving Xu Ran the illusion of walking into the downtown area.
"Little Boss Xu, here!"
The familiar shout brought him back to his senses, and when he saw Liu Gu waving to him not far away, Xu Ran hurriedly walked over.
"The people are here." Zhang Yun smiled at Xu Ran and patted the shoulder of the taciturn man beside him, "You have seen the rest of our team, let me introduce you, this is the deputy captain Du Heng." ”
"Hello Uncle Du." Xu Ran smiled politely at the other party.
And Du Heng's cold expression was also slightly softened, and he nodded towards Xu Ran as a greeting.
"Uncle Liu, are there so many people in front of the city gate every morning?" Looking at the number of people around him who were still increasing, Xu Ran was speechless and leaned over to Liu Gu beside him to ask.
"Almost." Liu Gu glanced around, "You also know that there are a large number of transcendent creatures living outside the city gate that are hostile to humans, and if you open the city gate at will, it may bring some unpredictable consequences. ”
"Therefore, the gate out of the city will only be opened at a fixed time point unless there are special circumstances, and the earliest opening time of the day is seven o'clock in the morning."
"Most of the hunting teams rely on hunting hostile transcendent creatures and obtaining transcendent resources in exchange for money, and many times when they are one step late, the target is taken by other squads, so it is natural to set off as early as possible."
"And the reason why we set out at this point is because there are more transcendent beings at rest at this point in time, and it will be safer."
"I see." Xu Ran nodded.
Liu Gu's words answered a lot of his doubts, and also made him feel that hiring a tiger hunting team was worth it.
As the two spoke, with a low roar, a crack opened in the towering gate, which slowly widened to a width of fifty meters.
The crowd that had already been ready to go quickly poured out of the city gate, and then marched in different directions outside the city gate according to their own goals.
After crossing into this world, Xu Ran saw the scene outside the city gate for the first time.
It was a vast wilderness, with little turf, dark purple dirt covering the earth, and the occasional hideous dry bones and rocks.
At the end of the wilderness was a forest with no end in sight, and a large fierce bird happened to fly out of the canopy, looking far away and retracting its gaze.
A breeze blew from outside the city, carrying a slight smell of blood and earth, which made Xu Ran's spirit slightly shocked and gradually came back to his senses.
