"Damn it! Zhang Long, that's enough! Stop licking, it's sticky!"
After Zhang Long finished speaking, before Su Lin could say anything, Wang Hai couldn't take it anymore.
Interrupting Zhang Long, he scratched his head and said seriously:
"Excuse my bluntness, Brother Su, but your beast pet must not only be of pure blood, but also an extremely rare and special mutant species, which is why it has such powerful skills, right?"
"Mutations?"
Su Lin was speechless.
There's no such thing as mutation.
I'm telling the truth, so why doesn't anyone believe me?
Seeing that Su Lin's expression was off, Wang Hai assumed he didn't want to talk, and quickly said:
"Of course, I know that you have a past relationship with Lord Lin and are a descendant of the famous General Su. It's normal for you to have some mysterious secrets. You don't need to explain this, and we won't ask any further questions."
"However, the elite monsters that just appeared are too strong. We need to reassess the difficulty of this nightmare-level dungeon to consider how to fight the final boss."
"And your pet is the strongest in our team, so we need to know more about it!"
Beside them, Jiang Yuyao and Zhang Long nodded repeatedly.
"I should look into it."
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
Su Lin didn't explain further.
It's normal for them not to believe what they're saying; after all, the truth can sometimes be more shocking than a lie.
However, having a powerful background is indeed a good thing. No matter how earth-shattering your actions are, you don't have to worry about being investigated or even how to cover it up. People will just assume it's a legacy from your elders.
Anyone who disagrees can go downstairs and talk to the old man!
"What we need to understand most is the skill it just unleashed. The damage was so terrifying, it couldn't be just an ordinary skill, could it be an ultimate move?"
This time, it was Jiang Yuyao who spoke.
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Hai and Zhang Long quickly nodded in agreement.
Clearly, they were all intimidated by this skill and it was what they most wanted to know.
"I'd call it a powerful move."
Su Lin thought for a moment and nodded.
The Mystic Water Shield Turtle only has this one attack skill; if it's not considered its ultimate move, then what is it?
"This is not good."
Wang Hai picked up the conversation, frowning as he said, "Since it's an ultimate skill, the cooldown time must be quite long, right?"
"Nonsense," Zhang Long said from the side. "If it weren't for that, would Brother Su have let us clean up the mess earlier? He took care of the Steel Tree Guard all by himself."
"The cooldown time is indeed very long."
Speaking of this, Su Lin nodded helplessly:
"After all, Ironclad is a defensive pet, and the biggest use of this skill is not actually to deal damage, but to control and slow down enemies. Skills like this don't have a very long cooldown."
"This skill... can also slow down enemies?"
Jiang Yuyao and the other two were taken aback.
Su Lin said, "Yes, it comes with a 40% speed reduction effect, but unfortunately, I haven't used it much."
"..."
The three exchanged a glance, their shock and indignation quickly turning into helplessness.
A 40% reduction in speed—that alone is a divine skill!
But they never actually used it. As for why they didn't use it, well, it goes without saying, they were instantly killed, so why would they need to reduce anything?
Sigh, that's the difference; comparing yourself to others is just awful!
"Excuse me, but how long is the cooldown for this skill? Does it exceed half an hour?"
Jiang Yuyao didn't want to say anything more and quickly got back to the main topic.
"Half an hour?"
Su Lin was taken aback: "Are you kidding me? Of course it won't take that long."
"That's alright."
Wang Hai and Zhang Long breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, even if we slow down a bit, we can still use it once more when we fight the final boss."
"???"
This time, it was Su Lin's turn to be bewildered: "What are you talking about? What do you mean, 'once or twice'? That's too much!"
Jiang Yuyao's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be less than ten minutes?"
"certainly!"
Su Lin nodded as a matter of course.
"Wow! That's incredible skill!"
Zhang Long was immediately shocked: "Such an awesome skill, and the cooldown time is less than ten minutes? Is that considered long? Brother Su, you're getting a bit too Versailles-like!"
"Yes, that's not considered long."
Wang Hai's face lit up with joy: "If that's the case, we might be able to unleash the power two or three times in one boss battle!"
"What the heck?! Are you guys serious or joking?!"
Su Lin was almost speechless and laughed.
"what?"
Seeing this, Zhang Long finally realized something, gasped, and exclaimed in surprise:
"No way, even shorter? Five minutes? Three minutes?"
"..."
Su Lin didn't speak, but looked at them with a complicated expression.
Wang Hai's body stiffened, his voice trembling slightly: "Even shorter? Could it be... one minute?"
One minute!
Even Jiang Yuyao was completely unsettled and secretly swallowed.
If that's true, then it's an amazing skill!
Given her status, she was all too aware of the value of this skill!
Absolutely priceless, an invaluable treasure!
"What a load of nonsense."
At this moment, Su Lin could no longer hold back:
"I'm almost laughing out loud with anger. A one-minute cooldown? Is that a skill we can learn at this stage? Alright, stop guessing. I'll tell you, it's fifteen seconds!"
boom!
Those three words were like a thunderbolt, instantly sending chills down the spines of the three men!
15 seconds!?
Such terrifying damage, such a huge area of effect, such an awesome skill, and the cooldown is only 15 seconds?!
Are you kidding me?!
"Clang!"
Behind the group, Jiang Feng, who had been largely invisible for a long time, suddenly stumbled, unable to even hold his staff properly, and it fell to the ground.
Finished!
What E-rank Beastmaster? Haha! It's all fake!
He inwardly groaned, wondering what kind of genius he had offended!
This skill is too overpowered!
He knew very well that this one mutated shield turtle alone was more terrifying than some S-rank professionals, even if Su Lin never contracted any other beast pets again!
Is this fucking true?!
This is unreasonable, absolutely unreasonable! I'm reporting this place, there are cheaters here!
Jiang Feng's mentality completely collapsed.
In contrast, although Jiang Yuyao and the other two were also shocked and found it hard to accept, they eventually recovered.
"15 seconds... is that what you call 'long'?"
Jiang Yuyao gritted her teeth, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Lin, her stunning face showing a hint of envy and resentment.
Clearly, Su Lin's Versailles was driving her almost insane.
"Isn't it long? A normal attack-type pet's skill only lasts a few seconds, right? At most ten seconds, that's a third less."
Su Lin was not Versailles at all.
He clearly remembered that, at the same rank, the Lava Blood Serpent's third bloodline skill, Magma Rain, had a cooldown of only ten seconds, while the Shield Turtle's was much longer.
"Can your tortoise be compared to ordinary pet animals?"
Jiang Yuyao couldn't help but complain.
But soon, she shook her head:
"Well, no matter what, shorter cooldown is a good thing."
"However, this means we'll likely have to rely on it for most of the upcoming battles. Will its mana pool be sufficient, and how many times can it be used?"
"If that's not enough, I have some high-level recovery potions here, which should be enough to get through the dungeon."
As soon as she finished speaking, a large ruby between her full breasts shimmered slightly, and a bottle of potion that shimmered like blue stars appeared in her slender hand.
"High-level mana restoration potion!"
Su Lin's eyes lit up.
This is a real gem; a single bottle costs tens of thousands of yuan. Who would be willing to drink this while running a dungeon?
All I can say is that she truly lives up to her reputation as the little princess of Xingyue Trading Company; everything she buys is exquisite. She's incredibly wealthy!
However, he declined Jiang Yuyao's offer:
"Your potion is indeed a good thing, but I'm afraid I won't be able to use it. Can I get cash for it?"
"Let me calculate. With the Xuanjia Shield Turtle's mana, it could probably cast that skill 130 or 140 times. Oh, no, it just leveled up again, so 150 wouldn't be a problem."
What?!
One hundred and thirty or one hundred and fifty?!
Hundred?!
Three digits?!
"Clang!" "Clang!"
This time, it was Wang Hai and Zhang Long whose shields and longswords both fell to the ground.
The two even had the urge to slap themselves, wondering if they had misheard or were dreaming!
One hundred times, one hundred times!
Are you kidding me!
Are you trying to flood this instance?!
"puff!"
Afterwards, Jiang Feng's face turned as red as blood, and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground with his staff and crawl into it on the spot!
This terrifying, incredibly powerful guy was actually called weak by me?!
Then what am I?!
It's worse than garbage!
"You...you..."
As for Jiang Yuyao, she was completely at a loss for words. She gripped her staff tightly, her delicate body swaying, and she was even a little unsteady on her feet!
This was the first time in her life that her beautiful lips had trembled because of a boy's mouth!
That kid's mouth, how can he be so infuriating?!
"Hey, why are you all looking at me like that? Don't you believe me?"
At this moment, Su Lin finally noticed that something was wrong with them and immediately said seriously:
"I guarantee that everything I said is the truth, and I am not exaggerating at all."
"..."
The four of them trembled again.
wipe!
This guy is not only a Versailles champion, but also a master of finishing off opponents!
It's all my fault for being so talkative; why did I have to ask so many questions!
wrong!
It's all this guy's fault! He keeps spouting such blunt truths. Can't he at least try to keep quiet?
If your beast pets, as an E-rank beast tamer, are this overpowered, how are we A-rank, S-rank, and SS-rank professionals supposed to survive?
