Chapter 12 Druid, Shadow of the Abyss
Looking at Edian's mouth where water was leaking out, Lockemon breathed a sigh of relief - he finally found the right entry point.
Even if it was a big druid, and the big druid who majored in the school of natural communication, Lockemon was really tired after talking nonstop to a black panther for a day.
There are many schools of druids. Lockmon's little disciple Aretha also majored in the school of natural communication. However, Aretha is a moon elves among the high elves. She will have the bonus of physical constitution, strength and agility under the moonlight. She is naturally more suitable for combat and assassination than ordinary elves. In addition to the druid profession, Aretha also practices the sword dancer profession.
What's more, Aretha's father, Anasta, is one of the legendary sword dancers of the elves, and is also an old friend of Lockemon. Her learning of the sword dancer profession is also a source of family education.
Currently Aretha is a second-level druid apprentice, and the sword dancer profession has reached level 5.
"How is it, pretty? As long as you go to the Elf Forest with me, I will introduce Jenny (that star-print leopard) to you, and there are also Alanna, Lofis, Elaine—"
While persuading, Lockemon continued to outline the beauties among the famous leopard monsters in the Elf Forest - that is, the big druids like Lockemon. Where can others tell which one is beautiful and which one is ugly among the leopard monsters?
Countryside buns like Adean have never seen a female black panther of the same kind in Dalian since childhood, let alone the leopard beauties selected in the holy land of monsters like Elf Forest?
Black Panther Adean looked at the various beautiful black panther-like monster images and animations that appeared in the air. Its mouth was wide open and it never closed, and its saliva was secreted more and more without realizing it, and it was quite rumbling and the Milky Way was pouring out.

The druid is probably the earliest spellcaster profession that appeared in the main material world. This profession existed long before the elves established civilization.
Any spell based on the power of nature can be regarded as druid spells.
There is an extremely important plug-in for druid practice - that is, it can establish an animal partner contract.
With the contract of animal partners, the druid and his animal partners can communicate with each other's hearts and experience various subtle changes.
From the growth of druids, animal partners can gain a lot of benefits from the druids step by step into the power of nature, of course, the most important thing is to increase wisdom and the fusion of natural forces;
In turn, druids can also observe and experience the changes in various talents of animal partners through the growth and evolution of their animal partners, and have the opportunity to gain some ability of their animal partners.
For example, Rockmon is known as the Thunder Messenger because his animal companions are legendary creatures. The Thunder Bear Kelik. It was through the perspective of the Thunder Bear Kelik that during the growth process of Kolik, Rockmon simultaneously understood the root of the thunder power, so that he could turn the Thunder Bear's talent to control the thunder into his own abilities, thus obtaining the title of Thunder Messenger.
This shows how much improvement a suitable animal partner will make for the druid.
And, the Druid's animal companion is not the same as the Ranger/Hunter's animal companion.
Rangers/hunters mainly use training to control animals and enhance the tacit understanding between the two. Their animal partner contract is a unilateral forced contract, mainly to make the animals work for themselves.
Therefore, the ranger/hunter can control animals with low intelligence, and cannot control life with higher intelligence, and cannot gain any benefits from the growth of animal partners;
The Druid's animal partner contract is extended from several of the druid's fundamental spells: soothing animals, animal conversation techniques and natural allies summoning techniques.
In the eyes of the druids, they are equal with their animal partners, and this contract is more like a mutually beneficial and friendly relationship.
Therefore, druids can form a contract with creatures that are far stronger than themselves, because there is no distinction between the two - druids and legendary creatures such as dragons, bemons, immortal birds, and thunder bears to form partnerships.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Druid's animal companions are not called and left as the Ranger/hunter's animal companions. If everyone gets along well, the Druid's animal companions will take the initiative to tear down the animal companion contract and run away by themselves.
For example, this time Locke was ordered to come to the North Dragon Ridge Mountains to explore the causes of the violent animals. His animal companion Thunder Bear Kelik felt that the road was too far and the north was cold, so it was better to sleep in the warm elf forest in the south.
——————————————
As a great druid, Lockmon has seen more beasts, beasts and monsters than many people have heard of in their lifetime, but the alien black panther in front of him is a species he has never seen before.
There are not many powerful monsters in the form of black panthers. Whether it is the moonlight leopard, the star pattern leopard or the shadow leopard, they are not the appearance of the black panther in front of you.
This alien black panther looks like an ordinary black panther, but its size has been magnified by four or five times. Apart from its extraordinary strength, there is nothing strange about it - it's strange!
This black panther is simply a pervert among leopard creatures. She is obviously just a fierce leopard. She has no awakening spell ability and cannot be called a monster at all.
However, the strength of this black panther is beyond common sense and must not be explained by violence alone.
————————————
In this world, whether it is animals, humans, even elves, orcs, etc., if you want to achieve evolution at the life level, you will inevitably have a violent stage.
At this stage, the physical fitness of organisms will make a leaps and bounds.
For humans, humans who begin to enter the violent stage of any part of their body are called the level 5 warriors - that is, the level of quasi-knights. Only at this stage can warriors completely distance themselves from ordinary people in terms of physical fitness.
Until level 10, humans complete the process of violent violence in their bodies. Taking knights as an example, starting from level 11, the powerful body of the warrior is enough to support the generation of Dou Qi (or other biological energy). With the generation of Dou Qi (general energy) as a sign, they begin to step into the level of higher knights.
For animals, this violent stage is called violent animals, such as violent wolf, violent bear, and violent leopard.
Generally speaking, only carnivorous beasts will have a violent stage, while herbivores will find it difficult to enter the violent process, which may be related to the different foods they consume.
Without sufficient nutritional intake, animals cannot be supported to enter the violent stage - there is a negative example of this.
It is very common for war horses to become violent because war horses are not simple herbivores.
In order to allow the war horses to have enough strength to bear the full armor of knights, the feed specially prepared by horses usually contains a large amount of high nutrients such as eggs, alfalfa and minced meat.
With sufficient nutritional supply, some extremely expensive war horses will naturally become violent horses when they become adults.
In addition to the exception of war horses, wild herbivores usually do not have the chance to enter the violent stage.
However, there is not a record in history that herbivores have entered the violent stage on a large scale. Within a hundred years after these herbivores entered the violent state on a large scale, extremely terrifying disasters that affected the entire main material world - the invasion of the abyss.
It is no longer verified where the abyss comes from, but the huge world known as the bottomless abyss is probably larger than the five known main planes.
The abyss breath has a catalytic effect on organisms. Herbivores enter the violent stage on a large scale, which is often the result of the leakage of the abyss breath to the main plane. In other words, the large-scale abnormal violent phenomenon of organisms is likely to be the abyss approaching the main plane - of course, it is also possible that the main plane is approaching the abyss.
This is why when someone in the Kingdom of Odd found a fierce deer in the wild, he even alarmed the elves king court, who was thousands of miles away in the southern elves forest.
This is also the reason why big druids like Lockemon, who are close to the legend, have to run around and find out the violent animals. If it is a general level problem, they will never work for him, who are close to the legendary level, to go out in person.
————————————
When Rockmont just discovered the claw marks left by Edian, his first thought was to "become polluted by the abyss aura", so he deliberately tracked them down.
As a result, when he saw Adean with his own eyes, he realized that Adean's breath was calm and pure, and was a pure natural creature, without any trace of being polluted by the abyss.
Originally, it would be fine if Ed'an was amazing. Although extremely huge animals were rare, as a legendary druid, Lockmond had seen many of them.
But in addition to his huge body, Edian's original instincts have been developed to a terrifying level.
Although this alien black panther does not have the ability to perform shadow jumping, nor the talent that the moonlight leopard can be invisible under the moonlight, nor the ability to perform short-range space jumping, the black panther walks in the dark and does not even have a trace of fluctuation in the air wherever it passes, which is very scary.
In addition, this alien black panther was not exposed in its movements, and even his life detection spell could not be detected. He was simply a natural super killer.
You should know that magic is absolutely mainstream in this world and can do many incredible things;
But there is a law that will be broken.
In order to prevent the opponent from using various strange spells and secretly killing himself without leaving any trace, anti-magic technology has also reached its peak - Shenmu specially created a magic school called the "Protection School".
This is purely a matter of two sides - the stronger the magic level, the stronger the anti-magic technology, everyone uses the same basic knowledge.
In short, although the strong men who have reached the peak of the assassin profession have certain magical abilities, what they really need to assassinate the strong or the powerful and well-protected ones rely on this ability to hide aura and act silently.
Generally speaking, only legendary assassins can hide all their life aura like this alien black panther, without any trace.
If this black panther hadn't had great potential, as a great druid, the thunder messenger Lockemon, who was about to embark on the legendary road, wouldn't he sit here and waste a day and flatter a leopard? He wouldn't he hope to turn this rare alien black panther into the elves.
Especially although this alien black panther has extraordinary size, it is probably less than ten years old from various details. Among the several leopard monsters known to the main plane, this age can only be considered a child.
Now this black panther has such ability. If it truly becomes an adult, it will probably be a legendary creature.
Even among the Elves Druids, it is very difficult to establish an animal partner contract with a legendary creature, not to mention that the various characteristics of this black panther are really suitable for sword dancers/assassinators.
