Legendary Battle Pet

"Detected host's request, the system can enable the [Scanning Function]. Once the scanning function is activated, the system will automatically search for places within a thousand miles where the Enlightenment Tree may exist. Would the host like to enable this function? This function requires the expenditure of 100 system coins."

The system inquired.

Upon hearing this, Ethen immediately replied, "Enable it!" The next moment, after deducting 100 system coins, the scanning function was activated.

According to the system's introduction, it will automatically report once it detects the suspected location of the Enlightenment Tree. Only then did Ethen breathe a slight sigh of relief, gently stroking the back of the Blux.

"No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find the Enlightenment Fruit for you."

Having dealt with the mammoth Flood dragon, Ethen ventured deeper into the canyon to continue his adventure. But after taking only a few steps, Ethen's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He sensed a hidden presence quietly tailing him.

"Someone's there!"

Immediately, Ethen became vigilant. In this desolate wilderness, someone secretly following him was more likely an enemy than a friend.

"Blux, keep moving forward and pretend nothing happened."

Ethen communicated with the Blux through telepathy. Hearing this, the Blux continued to move forward lightly, as if nothing unusual had happened.

The man and the Riolux advanced another few dozen meters in this manner. Ethen's relaxed demeanor allowed the follower, a battle pet master, to let out a sigh of relief.

"He really didn't notice me!"

This battle pet master, named Aslam Shah, was a resident of Qingfeng Town. He had previously watched Ethen's live house selling broadcast and learned that Ethen was carrying at least hundreds of thousands in cash.

Desperate for money, he harbored malicious intent and thus followed him all the way here. He witnessed the scenes of Ethen and the Blux entering the canyon, especially the battle between the Blux and the mammoth Flood dragon, which left him astounded by the Blux's strength.

Aslam Shah was merely a bronze level three beast master, and logically speaking, even if he harbored ill intentions towards Ethen, he wouldn't have the courage to act on them. However, at this moment, Aslam Shah was quite confident.

The reason wasn't because his battle pet was particularly formidable, but because he possessed a piece of magical equipment with extremely powerful firepower.

He believed that as long as he could strike unexpectedly, he could use this magical equipment to eliminate Ethen and his battle pet in one swift move.

Over the years, Aslam Shah had used this magical equipment to take down many powerful battle pet masters. At this moment, he was convinced that Ethen would undoubtedly become his prey.

His magical equipment is called the "Magic Attack Red Fire Gun," capable of firing from a distance of 1000 meters.

This ultra long range exceeds the attack range of most battle pets master. This grants Aslam Shah a significant combat advantage.

In addition to its extensive attack range, the Magic Attack Red Fire Gun also possesses tremendous firepower.

Although it is a single shot weapon, the explosive power of its bullets is immense. Once it hits, it can inflict severe damage on bronze level battle pet masters.

Aslam Shah is cautious; he did not rely solely on his weapon advantage to directly attack Ethen but instead observed closely. After witnessing many of Ethen's battles, he decided to look for an opportunity to strike.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated" is his motto.

Now, Ethen and Blux were approximately 1200 meters away from Aslam Shah. He felt that this was the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

This was because he noticed that the long range attack skill "Kiss of Divine Judgement" mastered by Blux could only cover enemies within 500 meters.

In contrast, his Magic Attack Red Fire Gun had a range of up to 1000 meters! Immediately, Aslam Shah, holding the Magic Attack Red Fire Gun, quickened his pace.

At this moment, he was filled with confidence. However, he could never have imagined that Ethen and Blux had already discovered him and had made targeted preparations. Once he opened fire, what awaited him would be utter ruin.

1200 meters, 1100 meters, 1050 meters, 1020 meters, 1000 meters!

When the distance between Aslam Shah and Ethen reached 1000 meters, the indicator light on Aslam Shah's targeting device lit up. He raised the gun, aimed, and fired. His actions were smooth and seamless!

Bang!

A fist thick alloy bullet, like an unsheathed sword, sped straight towards Ethen. His target was Ethen. Because compared to Blux, Ethen was undoubtedly the more vulnerable party.

As long as Ethen was killed, no matter how powerful Blux was, it would die immediately due to the master servant contract issue.

In the world of battle pet masters, it was an ironclad rule that when the battle pet master died, the battle pet would die as well, with no exceptions.

The speed of the alloy bullet was extremely fast, and it was about to hit Ethen. But in the next moment, an incredibly shocking scene unfolded.

Ethen, as if he had foreseen it, suddenly leaped to the left and fell to the ground just as the bullet was about to arrive.

As a result, the alloy bullet shot from the Magic Attack Red Fire Gun missed its target! The bullet did not hit but instead brushed past Ethen!

"How is this possible?"

Aslam Shah was completely taken aback, unable to believe that Ethen had evaded his sneak attack. Ethen's agile movement clearly indicated he was prepared, not just a spontaneous reaction in a moment of panic.

"Damn it!"

Aslam Shah was immediately thrown into a state of panic. Years of experience in ambushes had taught him that when faced with an enemy who had discovered him, it was best to flee immediately.

This was because his capabilities in direct combat were extremely weak; aside from being skilled in ambush tactics, he had no chance against a powerful battle pet master like Ethen in a face to face confrontation, where he would surely be taken down instantly!
