278: Isn't this a pet?

Chapter 278: Isn't This Just a Pet?

Code?

Si Luoluo looked utterly confused, not understanding a word!

Lu Ran didn't explain; there was no way to make sense of it.

Perhaps some programmers from before the world was digitized might have understood these things.

Lu Ran himself had only managed to recognize them after accidentally seeing some pre-digitization data.

"Never mind, let's just kill it first," Lu Ran mused.

Then.

A Blood Spear was thrown out.

But...

【Unable to Hit】

The Blood Spear vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

This was the first time a Blood Spear had missed?

The accuracy of this skill was unavoidable!

It could only be endured!

This miss, no, no... it wasn't a miss, not because it was dodged, but because it simply couldn't be hit!

Lu Ran glanced at his skill panel.

Fortunately.

The Blood Spear wasn't wasted; after the "Unable to Hit" prompt, it was returned to Lu Ran.

It was still in a charged state.

Lu Ran tried a few more times, but the result was the same.

【Unable to Hit】

【Unable to Hit】

【Unable to Hit】

...

With continuous prompts, Lu Ran's charge was infinitely returned, but he just couldn't deal any damage.

This was the first time Lu Ran had encountered something so bizarre in his life.

It was too strange!

"Perhaps it's because it hasn't finished development, so it can't be hit?" Lu Ran muttered, analyzing to himself.

At the same time.

Lu Ran finally noticed that the giant female Scale Demon in front of him had no health bar!

It was completely invisible!

It wasn't because its health was too high, but because it simply didn't have any!

"If I can't attack it, what about control?" Lu Ran pondered.

Unwilling to give up, he tried Undead Touch.

He found that.

Undead Touch actually worked!

Several huge Undead Touch tentacles appeared on the female Scale Demon BOSS's body, coiling around and binding her.

But whether it was controlled or not, it made no sense.

The opponent couldn't move anyway.

Moreover, control skills couldn't kill the opponent; even infinite control was meaningless.

Lu Ran also tried Bone Storm, and even Skeleton Soldier self-detonation, Ancient Golem attacks, Banshee attacks, and Abyssal Bone Dragon attacks.

He eventually found that.

Because the opponent still had no health bar, no damage could be dealt at all.

Only Undead Touch had an effect.

Meanwhile.

The female Scale Demon continued to stare at Lu Ran, her hollow eyes showing no expression, yet he could still sense an immense amount of hatred!

Lu Ran was certain that if this thing could move, its first action would definitely be to tear him apart!

Of course.

Lu Ran wasn't afraid, but being inexplicably targeted by a mysterious entity like this was truly frustrating!

Furthermore.

Lu Ran had tried Undead Touch several times.

Now, tentacles were wrapped around the female Scale Demon's body.

This scene was a bit... a bit inappropriate.

Scale Demons inherently wore no clothes, their bodies covered in scales.

This female Scale Demon had an especially stunning figure.

Now, with tentacles wrapped around her.

Ah, this...

Lu Ran swallowed.

He didn't continue casting Undead Touch, as it was truly meaningless.

"Previous Scale Demons were dark-elemental creatures and could be controlled, but because I needed to kill them for materials, I didn't control them. This thing in front of me, since it's related to the Scale Demon race, should also be dark-elemental. What a pity, if it were in its complete form, I should be able to control it, but now..."

Lu Ran secretly lamented.

He wondered if his prolonged efforts had triggered something, some new mechanism.

Or perhaps it was something Lu Ran said that had an effect.

Above the female Scale Demon's head, a familiar prompt indeed appeared: 【Controllable!】

Huh?

Lu Ran's eyes widened.

Controllable?

He tried to move his thoughts.

The next second.

The female Scale Demon's hollow eyes remained, but the immense hatred instantly vanished without a trace, replaced by a feeling of joy, anticipation, and eagerness, as if she wanted to immediately grow close to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was speechless.

Sure enough, the prompt was effective.

The Bone Throne's control effect instantly nullified all hatred rules.

Hadn't he just obtained this pet?

It was a shame it hadn't finished digitizing and couldn't move yet, otherwise, its combat power would definitely be off the charts!

After all, its level surpassed Si Luoluo's.

Next.

Lu Ran repeatedly checked several times, but still couldn't find a way to make the female Scale Demon move.

He could only give up in frustration.

Shaking his head, he said, "Forget it, it seems she really can't move. Let her stay here; I'll come back to check on her later if I have time."

Si Luoluo had been watching Lu Ran tinker for a long time.

Though curious, she didn't ask questions. Hearing Lu Ran's words, she immediately nodded.

Then.

The two headed directly towards the sea surface.

During the process, Lu Ran suddenly remembered.

He had spoken underwater just now, and it had no effect at all.

"It's likely that the rules beneath the seawater here have also changed," Lu Ran analyzed.

To put it bluntly, it was a bug; to put it nicely, the digitization hadn't been completed yet.

Many rules hadn't been established.

But just based on the current rules, Lu Ran's ability to control the female Scale Demon was the only gain.

At the same time.

Along the coast.

Yamata no Orochi had also steadily brought those who were originally on the deck back to shore.

Its speed was neither fast nor slow.

Of course, if it were just Yamata no Orochi alone, it would have already darted to the shore.

This time, because it had to carry out Lu Ran's command to act as a ship to transport people, Yamata no Orochi was very careful.

By the sea.

The professionals and life-professionals on Yamata no Orochi's back jumped down one by one.

The feeling of solid ground beneath their feet made them want to cry for the first time.

"Thank this big guy!"

"As expected of Guoshi Lu Ran, he even saved us from this!"

"How on earth did Lu Ran do it? This thing can also be controlled? What is it?"

"I checked, I can't see its attributes, its name, anything, but I saw its level, it's level one hundred!"

"Holy crap, level one hundred!"

"A level one hundred BOSS? Lu Ran can casually control level one hundred BOSSes now?"

"No matter what, from now on, I'm a die-hard fan of Lu Ran!"

"Me too! Anyone who dares to say anything bad about Ran-ge, I'll fight them to the death!"

...

The scene was exceptionally excited.

Yamata no Orochi completed its mission, confirming that there was no one left on its back.

Only then did it flash, disappearing from its spot and returning to the Shikigami Space.

This was also strictly executing Lu Ran's orders.

Not far from the crowd, on a reef by the sea.

A young girl held an apple, gnawing on it while swinging her smooth little legs.

Her feet dangled in the seawater, stirring the water and feeling the lapping waves.

Her fair feet, easily held in one hand, were at least 'food-grade'.

This girl was Cen Yu Nuo.

She watched Yamata no Orochi disappear, not surprised, took a bite of her apple, and looked up at the distant horizon where sea met sky.

She seemed able to cross distance and space, to see Lu Ran, who was still in the deep sea at this moment.
