If he went in, he might be taken out by Tobi-Kadachi by accident.
As if remembering something, Kael Stormwind used Appraisal on the Jagras.
[Name]: Jagras
[Quality]: Mortal Grade Low Tier
[Realm]: Normal Beast
[Evolution Paths]:
1. Great Jagras (Mortal Grade High Tier): After reaching First Order, feed it a Second Order Earth Element Demon Core and Black Earth Grass directly. (Note: Prepare plenty of meat during evolution to avoid failure.)
[Evaluation]: Greedy as locusts, they attack large monsters that show weaknesses in groups. Cowardly and cautious, but extremely fast.
When the Jagras regained consciousness and saw it was in the forest, its eyes filled with joy. But the joy quickly turned to deep fear when it noticed Kael Stormwind beside it—memories of being beaten by Kael Stormwind were still fresh.
"It's a long way back. Why not wait until you reach Mortal Grade High Tier before returning? That way, we can also wait for the System update to complete."
Kael Stormwind wondered if anyone had seen Cherry Fire when it saved him. But they were so far away that unless someone was a Ninth Order expert like his father, they wouldn't have been able to see Cherry Fire clearly.
Should he catch another bird demon with pink feathers?
They were too close to the Bloodthirsty Vine Demon's lair now. He needed to find a safer place just in case.
The Jagras had been well-trained. Even without Kael Stormwind restricting it, it didn't try to escape. But this fear-based relationship would only last as long as Kael Stormwind could keep suppressing it.
Kael Stormwind didn't have much confidence in being able to suppress the Jagras forever, but with Cherry Fire's talent, it would be too embarrassing if it couldn't surpass the Jagras.
Mounting the Jagras, Kael Stormwind let it run freely. Cautious beasts like Jagras would head to what they believed was the safest place when alone.
They were much bolder in groups.
The Jagras ran fast—it could feel the danger here, so it hurriedly searched for safety.
The scenery around them changed rapidly. Most demons in the area had been killed by the Bloodthirsty Vine Demon, so they encountered no danger.
From the way the wolf beasts were starving, it was clear there wasn't much food nearby.
The Jagras ran far, far away until the Bloodthirsty Vine Demon's aura completely disappeared. Only then did it slow down.
On the way, Kael Stormwind even picked several Black Earth Grasses as unexpected gains.
They arrived at an ordinary cave, from which a distinct smell of animal urine emanated.
Since the Jagras dared to come here, the cave's owner must be either its equal or the weakest in the area.
As if sensing the Jagras' presence, a bear's roar came from the cave, and a normal black bear ran out.
Even without using Appraisal, Kael Stormwind could sense this was just a regular beast.
Kael Stormwind jumped off the Jagras' back and charged directly. The bear was startled, then flew into a rage and pounced at Kael Stormwind.
With his strength as a Body Tempering Realm First Layer expert and his innate power, Kael Stormwind easily caught the bear's paw. He pulled it and slammed it to the ground.
Smoke rose. The Jagras shrank back, recalling the terrifying sight. It had been about to run away when Kael Stormwind charged forward, but the lingering fear made it hesitate.
Witnessing this scene, it completely gave up on escaping, remembering the fear of being dominated by Kael Stormwind.
After knocking the bear unconscious, Kael Stormwind stored it in the outer layer of his Beast Tamer Space.
With his strength, he didn't need to make such a big show to deal with a regular beast, but he did it deliberately to intimidate the Jagras.
Now the Jagras was extremely obedient. Kael Stormwind led it into the cave and extended his "sinful" hand.
——————
For a Jagras to advance to First Order with its ordinary beast body was quite simple. Kael Stormwind planned to give it something to help.
Half a liter of Life Essence Fluid would be enough. Kael Stormwind had plenty of this now, so he didn't feel bad about using it.
Forcibly prying open the Jagras' mouth, Kael Stormwind poured the Life Essence into it.
The Jagras looked like a violated girl, tears in its eyes.
A warm current surged in its stomach. For a regular beast, drinking so much undiluted spirit fluid was very painful.
During its struggle, it broke through to First Order. But the Life Essence in its stomach wasn't fully digested yet. Kael Stormwind seized the opportunity to stuff the Earth Element Demon Core and Black Earth Grass into its mouth—he wanted to strike while the iron was hot. Whether it could survive was up to fate.
Kael Stormwind was surprised that Great Jagras had such a low quality, but then he remembered it was the first monster players encounter in the game, and that made sense.
The Jagras writhed in pain, its body swelling continuously.
Kael Stormwind took out the wolf meat he had stored in the Beast Tamer Space, ready to feed it at any moment.
If that wasn't enough, he'd have to sacrifice the black bear he had just captured.
