Small in size, powerful in lethality, and possessing fire properties.

After taking a brief look at it, I felt more and more that this animal had great development potential if it was trained to be a killer.

At the starting point, they are significantly taller than Wolf Spider and Kung Fu Fly.

That level is comparable to that of a fire-scaled tiger.

However, although the Fire Scale Tiger has strong combat power, its large size makes it easy to expose its target, and it cannot be used as an assassin.

This little mantis couldn't be more suitable.

"Boy, do you want to buy this mantis?"

The bald man raised his eyebrows lightly, stared at Lin Hao, and asked with a deep smile.

"Well, let's make a price."

Lin Hao looked indifferent.

"You can buy it if you want, but the remuneration for so many of our brothers should be at least this amount."

The bald man stretched out his palm, spread his fingers, and said in a rough voice: "Five thousand Lingyang stones, and an iron cage as a gift."

Hearing this, Lin Hao pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Although five thousand Lingyang stones are expensive compared to the market price, this amount is not too outrageous.

Then, the two parties complete the transaction.

Lin Hao lifted the iron cage, reached into it, and grabbed the mantis directly in his palm.

"Ding, check if the host captures a level four monster 'Red Flame Mantis' and keeps it as a pet?"

Lin Hao said silently without hesitation: "Yes."

"Congratulations to the host for accepting the fifth pet, codename 005, you can name it."

"King of Mantis."

Lin Hao's mind moved slightly and he randomly came up with a more awesome name.

"Ding, pet codename 005, naming completed."

At the same time as the system sound sounded, the red flame mantis in Lin Hao's hand disappeared.

And in his mind, the totem of the red flame mantis suddenly appeared.

"The permission has been enabled, and the host can strengthen the pet."

Lin Hao is now wealthy and directly chooses the 'one-click evolution' function.

In an instant, the Mantis King in Lin Hao's hand disappeared.

"Ding, the enhancement is successful. Congratulations to King Mantis for upgrading to D level. Your combat power has been fully improved."

"Ding, your pet King Mantis has strengthened its claws and is as sharp as a blade!"

…

"Ding, your pet Mantis King has evolved and been upgraded to the S-level king level."

"Congratulations to the codenamed 005 pet 'Mantis King' for receiving a special talent, the Black Flame Demonic Body."

Suddenly, a series of voices sounded in Lin Hao's mind.

Immediately afterwards, a brand new data panel also emerged.

【Mantis King】

Code:005

Owner: Lin Hao

Combat power:50000

Skills: Phantom Scythe, Flame Slash

Talent: Black Flame Demonic Body

…

After reading the information about King Mantis, Lin Hao was secretly satisfied.

This kind of combat power has completely surpassed the ranks of low-level monsters.

However, Lin Hao felt a little strange.

Because from the data point of view, the Mantis King's combat power is actually 5,000 points more than that of the Fire Scale Tiger, which is comparable to the ninth level of human martial arts!

It stands to reason that the Scarlet Flame Mantis has almost the same starting point as the Fire-Scale Tiger in terms of the level of Warcraft. They both belong to the fourth level Warcraft.

Moreover, there is a huge physical difference between the two sides. The Red Flame Mantis' combat power is obviously weaker than that of the Fire Scale Tiger.

However, now, they have all evolved to the S-level king level, and the Mantis King has caught up with the Fire Scale Tiger.

Is it because of different talents and skills?

Lin Hao couldn't help but think deeply about this.

The Fire Scale Tiger's innate skill is the blue flame beast body.

The Mantis King is a black flame demon.

According to Lin Hao's guess.

Compared with the blue flame beast body, the black flame demon body is probably a level higher.

That's why there is such a difference in combat power data between them.

"It seems that when capturing pets, the more powerful the better, the better. It mainly depends on whether you can obtain special skills and talents."

Lin Hao nodded secretly, becoming more sure of his guess.

Moreover, the early stages of D-stage, C-stage, B-stage and A-stage evolution did not change much in terms of combat power improvement.

Only when reaching S level will there be a significant increase.

Lin Hao already had a rough understanding of this from the evolutionary data of Kung Fu Fly and Fire Scale Tiger.

After all, the Kung Fu Fly is just a weak fly that even a child can crush to death.

However, after evolving to the S-level king level, the strength of an eighth-level warrior is comparable to that of a human martial artist, one level behind the fire-scaled tiger.

Therefore, in terms of the differences between beast races, as they evolve to later stages, there is not much difference.

Otherwise, Lin Hao is not stupid and must have evolved a high-level monster long ago.

"Brother, this guy has quite a lot of capital."

Seeing Lin Hao take out five thousand Lingyang Stones at once, the skinny man's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, I can see that."

The bald man nodded lowly, his cold, snake-like eyes always staring at Lin Hao.

Because he discovered that the red flame mantis that Lin Hao had just grabbed suddenly disappeared.

With such techniques, even he couldn't detect where the Red Flame Mantis got.

At this point, the bald man couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"In this case, we can't let this fat sheep slip away in front of our eyes."

The thin man laughed evilly and glanced at the storage ring in Lin Hao's hand, with an unconcealable greed in his eyes.

"Nonsense, I still need your teaching."

A fierce look appeared on the bald man's face, and he immediately winked at the men next to him.

In an instant, more than a dozen bandits spread out quickly with a tacit understanding, directly blocking all Lin Hao's escape routes.

"Boy, I haven't finished what I said just now. Five thousand Lingyang Stones are just a deposit,"

The bald man looked at Lin Hao with a gloomy expression and said jokingly.

However, Lin Hao at this time was completely indifferent.

Because a system prompt just sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations on collecting five pets. The host authority has been upgraded to level two."

As the voice fell, Lin Hao was surprised to find that the original five cells in the pet list had increased to ten cells.

In other words, the number of pets he can accommodate has reached ten!

"Ding, the second level permission is to enable the pet synthesis function. When the host selects this function, please operate with caution."

Immediately afterwards, the system prompt sounded again.

Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart trembled slightly, and he was suddenly overjoyed.

Looking at the newly added 'synthesis' option in the data panel, Lin Hao felt quite curious.

Unexpectedly, pets can also be combined with each other.
Chapter completed!
