Chapter 17 Who wouldn’t like “Big Cat”
The dark night passed quickly.
When the sun slowly rose from the eastern sea level, Zuo Si finally woke up from his sleep.
He first glanced at the soldiers who were sleeping at the entrance of the cave, and immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "You have been here all night without sleeping?"
"Of course, Master "Your safety is always the most important thing. I can't guarantee that a poisonous snake will crawl in through the hole while sleeping." The soldier quickly opened his eyes and stood up and bowed.
There is no doubt about it.
Zuo Si was very surprised by the sense of responsibility and loyalty he showed.
Zuo Si originally thought that the humanoid creatures summoned by the cards were just puppets with little intelligence and thought, and would only obey orders mechanically like golems.
But the soldiers in front of them did not behave much different from real living people.
He even needs to eat and sleep to regain his strength just like normal people.
Obviously, the biological cards of the planeswalkers are definitely not like the summoning magic in the conjuration system, which simply and crudely summons a creature from other places to fight or serve the caster through a strong contract.
It is also not like making something like a puppet and sealing it in a card.
Instead, a more complex and profound magic technique is used.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si has never made a biological card himself, so he knows nothing about it.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
The prerequisites for making biological cards are extremely demanding.
With the power he currently possesses, at best he can try weak chickens such as goblins and kobolds, or animals that can be domesticated such as domestic cats and dogs.
What's more, the mana consumed to create a biological card is almost three times that of a magic card of the same level.
The most important thing is that the former is far less immediate in combat than the latter.
Rather than spending precious mana on trying to make creature cards, it would be more cost-effective to invest in improving professional levels.
The soldier obviously didn't know what was going on in Zuo Si's mind.
Seeing that he stood there for a long time without moving or speaking, he took the initiative to ask: "Master, are you hungry? How about I go catch two fish or pick up a few bird eggs? For breakfast?"
Zuo Si quickly shook his head: "No, no need. I was very full yesterday and I'm not hungry yet. Besides, you must be very tired after not sleeping all night. It's better to lie down and rest. I will take care of breakfast myself."
"Rest? If I stay to rest, who will protect your safety?" A worried expression appeared on the soldier's face. .
You don’t need to ask to know that in his subconscious mind, protecting the safety of his master is the highest priority among all matters, even surpassing his own life.
Zuo Si keenly caught this and responded immediately: "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. And you are not the only one of my subordinates."
After saying that, an extra one appeared in his palm out of thin air. card.
[Biological Card: Beast - Leopard]
[LV1 Green Card (can be upgraded)]
[Card Quality: Normal]
[Effect, summons a large leopard until it is killed or the summon is actively cancelled. You can give it simple commands through gestures, such as attacking, retreating, hiding, sneak attacks, etc., but it is unable to carry out complex verbal communication. After all, this is just a beast, you can't expect it to be as smart as an intelligent creature]
[You need to pay two points of green magic power, or two points of general magic power to use this card]
[When summoned After the leopard is killed, the card automatically enters the graveyard to wait for rebirth for one day]
As the creature card is activated, a large cat with yellow fur and black spots all over its body , instantly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Including the tail, it is approximately over 2.8 meters long, with a slightly rounded head, relatively short but strong limbs, and a weight of about 150 kilograms.
Whether it is sharp teeth or claws, it proves its identity as a predator in the animal world.
"Roar!"
As soon as it was summoned, the leopard immediately roared and gently rubbed the back of the summoner's hand to show its closeness.
It can be seen that it is much larger than the leopards on earth.
Even comparable to and surpassing some smaller tigers, such as the Sumatran tiger.
I don’t know what kind of special breed it is, or whether it has undergone individual mutation due to the power of magic.
"How about it, are you relieved now?"
Zuo Si raised his hand and rubbed the leopard's head, which was about the same height as his shoulders.
Different from the human soldiers summoned for the first time. The leopard had been following him for a long time and had been involved in several brief battles.
So we know each other very well.
Zuo Si, who is a bit of a "Fu Rui control", even gave the leopard a name, Red.
It means "sneak attacker".
After all, who wouldn’t love a smart, fierce and loyal big cat.
Seeing the closeness between one person and the leopard, the soldier suddenly showed a happy smile: "With it, I feel relieved. But you still have to be careful when walking near the bushes on the island, sometimes you don't An eye-catching venomous snake is often more deadly than a ferocious beast.”
"I know, I'll pay attention."
Zuo Si waved his hand, turned around and took Leopard down the mountain road.
Maybe it’s because he has been locked up in the mage tower in the floating city for too long.
When he saw the green plants and colorful wild flowers around him, he felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and his mood became very happy.
The leopard followed leisurely.
As soon as there is any disturbance, it will immediately raise its head and prick up its ears to scan around.
But what we often find are little guys like squirrels, rabbits, ferrets, and foxes.
As the soldiers judged last night, there are no large land creatures on this island at all.
The most dangerous and most numerous are snakes of various lengths and thicknesses.
Not long after, Rhett killed and ate four half-meter-long small snakes, and a large snake that was 1.5 meters long and almost as thick as Zuo Si's arm.
For these breakfasts delivered to your door, it always accepts all comers.
It is unknown whether these snakes are venomous.
Anyway, as long as you don’t get bitten, it doesn’t actually make much difference whether it’s poisonous or not.
When they reached the beach, Zuo Si was a little hungry after his morning exercise, and immediately ordered the "big cat" to get himself two coconuts for breakfast.
As we all know, leopards are good at climbing trees.
The leopard, which has slightly short limbs and is strong and powerful, is the ace in the hands of its peers.
Not to mention picking two coconuts, even dragging a deer about the same size as myself up to the treetop is no problem.
In the blink of an eye, Rhett used the standard "cat fist" to knock two coconuts off the top of the tree, and then held them in front of their owner.
Zuo Si took out a dagger that shone with silver cold light from his satchel, found the "soft eye" on the coconut shell, and inserted it fiercely.
When pulled out, sweet coconut juice will flow out from the small hole.
He raised his head unceremoniously and drank it all.
After drinking all the coconut water, it’s natural to open the shell and eat the fresh coconut meat inside.
After eating two coconuts, I feel six to seven points full.
Just when Zuo Si was about to continue getting some fish or bird eggs, he suddenly noticed an erected mast suddenly appearing on the sea level in the distance.
There is also a thin and long yellow flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the mast.
Got a boat?
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
But soon, this surprise was replaced by doubt.
Because as the distance got closer, Zuo Si could clearly see that it was not just one ship, but two ships.
The hull of the ship in front is wide and round, just like the round belly of a fat house. It is obviously a merchant ship designed and manufactured to increase the load capacity.
What was approaching quickly not far behind was a slender and very fast battleship.
The distance between the two is about a few hundred meters.
The latter obviously wants to catch up with the former, while the former is just the opposite and is trying his best to escape.
In order to reduce weight and increase their own speed, some sailors carried heavy stones like ballast stones into the sea.
