The final floor required a person to fight creatures that were seven levels higher than themselves. It was the most difficult challenge.
…
Luo Chen was not confident. Although there was only one creature, it proved to be substantial.
The creature had the body of a turtle, the head of a dragon, and a snake’s tail. It was known as the black tortoise. Its defense was incomparable, the strongest defensive creature. Even with a level thirteen fireball, Luo Chen might not be able to pierce through.
Although Luo Chen had copied all his teachers’ memories and their spells, he could not make use of them. This was because of his summoning staff. It was level two, just like him. Apparently, casting a level thirteen was possible but any higher than that would damage it.
Furthermore, due to his own level, Luo Chen could not use a higher-level staff. It was pointless even if he had money.
“Xiao Hua, trap him.”
Countless vines emerged from the ground.
The black tortoise was tied up. It was not invincible. Even though it had the best defense, it was extremely slow.
Luo Chen had bought himself more time to think about his next plan of action.
“Xiao Hua, hang it up.”
‘Its big and heavy body will be its own downfall. I’m going to take advantage of it.’
The vermillion bird helped out as well. Although the vermillion bird was small, it was strong. It managed to grab the black tortoise’s shell and carried it into the air.
“Tornado!”
Luo Chen drew circles with his summoning staff and a tornado appeared. The black tortoise was lifted up further by the tornado. This was possible thanks to his pets’ teamwork.
The black tortoise kept kicking his limbs, but it was pointless.
It looked at Luo Chen and puffed up its cheeks.
Luo Chen could sense that it was an incoming attack. Whatever the black tortoise was about to do, he did not want to be the receiving end.
“Water dragon!”
He quickly summoned a water dragon and hit the black tortoise on its forehead.
The black tortoise opened its mouth and spat out some black water. it collided violently with the water dragon.
‘Boom!’
Black water droplets fell from the sky. The ground was instantly corroded and many small holes were formed.
Luo Chen felt a chill down his spine. One would suffer severe wounds if any of the droplets hit them.
“Xiao Mei, be careful!”
Luo Chen realized that the vines had not completely bound the black tortoise.
The black tortoise’s power was not to be looked down upon. It swayed its snake-like tail and the snake bit the vermillion bird.
Luo Chen’s warning was too late.
The vermillion bird let out a miserable cry and it flew back into the summoning scripture.
Suddenly, Luo Chen suffered a migraine. This was a backlash because his summoned beast was injured.
Xiao Mei was recuperating and it might take a long time before she fully recovers.
Without the help of the vermillion bird, Xiao Hua lost her grip on the black tortoise.
The black tortoise rapidly fell from the sky.
‘Thud!’
The ground trembled. Sand and stones flew everywhere.
There was a huge hole in the ground. The body of the black tortoise had sunk deep into the earth. At this moment, it was unable to move.
Blood was flowing out from the corner of its mouth. The black tortoise gradually lost its vitality and closed its eyes.
Two rays of light shot out from above. One of them hit Luo Chen while the other hit the black tortoise.
The third page of Luo Chen’s summoning scripture turned golden. Xiao Mei, who was still injured, suddenly perked up. It even sang a happy song.
Upon seeing this scene, Luo Chen was relieved. The golden page could treat a pet’s wounds.
‘These golden pages must possess all kinds of abilities.’
Luo Chen looked at the black tortoise that was shrouded by the light.
‘The seventh floor was much harder than the sixth floor. Yet, the rewards were the same? Isn’t this kind of lame?’
At that moment, the black tortoise’s body began shrinking. The light disappeared and a pet egg appeared in front of Luo Chen’s eyes.
Luo Chen was surprised. Obviously, that was an egg that contained the black tortoise. His heart began to beat faster and faster. He walked towards the egg and appeared to be very excited. Slowly, he picked up the pet egg and caressed it lovingly.
The black tortoise’s strength had already been displayed earlier. Naturally, Luo Chen could not hide his enthusiasm.
At the same time, the flower goblin was also delighted. There was an additional golden page on Luo Chen’s second summoning scripture. Without wasting any time, it hopped into the golden page. Now, all of Luo Chen’s pets had their own golden pages.
Anyway, without wasting any time, Luo Chen dripped his blood on the pet egg.
The black tortoise slowly hatched from the egg.
Luo Chen was taken aback and fell down. The black tortoise’s size was pitifully small. It was completely different from before.
‘Is this egg a fake-out?’
He thought doubtfully.
Luo Chen flipped the black tortoise over. He tried to check its gender but he did not know how to differentiate between a male and female tortoise.
“At any rate, I believe that you’ll grow up to be strong like before. I’m going to name you Xiao Wu! I’m not sure if it’s suitable because I don’t know your gender yet, but all my pets turned out to be females. So, it should be fine.”
All of a sudden, the vermilion bird appeared and lifted Xiao Wu up. Xiao Wu was greatly frightened.
The vermilion bird was trying to exact revenge. She still remembered how painful the bite was.
However, it seemed like Xiao Wu did not remember anything. Its memory was erased.
Luo Chen flipped through his first summoning scripture to the fourth page. An image of the black tortoise appeared.

“How unfortunate. Xiao Mei is her neighbor!”
Luo Chen could only mourn for the black tortoise.
It was common for summoned beasts to visit each other. The black tortoise might be bullied by the vermilion bird on a daily basis..
