"It’s a parasitic tree!"

Xue Wuqing stopped in her tracks and immediately started climbing the large tree in front of her, she, as an elf who had lived in the forest for years, climbed so quickly that even bananas would envy her speed.

From this, it was evident that Xue Wuqing was very aware of the value of a parasitic tree; her reaction was so fast that even bananas lagged half a beat behind.

"Wu Qing girl, cutting in isn’t nice. I’ve already reserved this pet. Find the next one and I’ll let you have it!"

Seeing Xue Wuqing react so strongly, Banana couldn’t help but mutter to himself and shouted regardless of his image, wondering if he’d even stand a chance if this woman got ahead of him.

Both being elves, Xue Wuqing could also choose the parasitic tree as a pet. It was then that Banana realized how unwise it had been to call this woman over...

"Whirl, whirl."

Banana climbed the tree in a flurry, stepped hard on the branches, and poked his body out of the leaves, just as Su Ran had said, a small sapling was hopping around on the branches, very lively.

"Look at that petty temper of yours, not at all like a man. Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you!"

Xue Wuqing glanced at Banana speechlessly, then spoke, "Banana, you are indeed lucky. This parasitic tree is full of spirit and must be a top-notch pet. Congratulations in advance!"

"Haha, my eye for detail isn’t bad, right? I had my eye on it immediately, but pity this darn tree wouldn’t pay me any heed~~~"

Upon hearing that Xue Wuqing wasn’t joining the competition, Banana finally relaxed and cheerfully said, "This time, I’m definitely not letting it get away!"

After saying that, Banana leapt onto the treetop, using the advantages of his elf profession to skillfully navigate above the trunk, and soon approached the inexperienced little sapling.

"Whirl."

When the parasitic tree spotted Banana, they were already very close; it showed a frightened expression and dashed downward, trying to use the dense leaves to hide its trail.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Banana wouldn’t miss such a superb opportunity; he immediately threw out a Pet-catching Scroll, dazzling with a golden glow, and the parasitic tree was tightly bound again, unable to move.

"Haha, where can you escape to? Just become my pet quietly. Struggling is futile!"

Banana said this, but he was actually full of nerves inside; this parasitic tree was his capital for rising, and he couldn’t afford any slip-ups!

"Wu Qing girl, you pick a pet later too. Pet Island is lacking in many things, but not in pets." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Su Ran was indifferent to whether Banana caught it successfully or not; seeing Xue Wuqing continuously watching the parasitic tree, he couldn’t help but speak, to avoid any unpleasantness arising over a single pet.

"I need ice-type pets, wood-type ones are of no use to me."

Xue Wuqing looked at Su Ran somewhat surprised, "Overturning Water, are you intentionally trying to please me?"

Su Ran immediately shut his mouth.

"Haha, caught it successfully!"

Just then, Banana’s delighted shout drew Xue Wuqing’s attention away, and Su Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh dear, in the future, when speaking to women, I must think thrice before acting. Being misunderstood like this can really be awkward!

Su Ran had long been fed up with romance troubles; if he could choose again, he would definitely stay far away...

"What are you two spacing out for? You don’t even know to congratulate me. Feels like I’m playing a single-player game here?"

Banana, holding the newly captured parasitic tree, saw the indifferent reaction from Su Ran and Xue Wuqing, which somewhat deflated his excitement which had just decreased noticeably.

"Come on, clap clap, congratulations to Comrade Banana on officially being single no more."

Su Ran clapped his hands symbolically and then asked, "Send over the attributes of the parasitic tree. Let’s see what special attributes it has to get you this excited."

"Hey, that’s more like it. I knew you guys would start getting envious and jealous!"

Banana chuckled, clearly very satisfied with his newly acquired pet, or else he wouldn’t have acted so provocatively.

"Jealous?"

Su Ran grinned, "Then shall we compete?"

"Pah, who would compete with someone like you!"

Banana, without a second thought, rejected the idea on the spot. Competing with Su Ran over pets would only be humiliating. However, he was confident that once this Parasitic Tree grew, nobody would dare to underestimate it!

Not even Overturning Water himself!

The more Banana thought about it, the more excited he became, and he no longer kept Su Ran and his companion in suspense. He revealed the attributes of the Parasitic Tree right then and there.

[Parasitic Tree] LV1 (Silver)

Wood Poison Whip – Transforms branches into brutal whips, striking the target with an attack +15%, and having a certain chance to inflict poison damage, reducing the target’s Qi Blood by 10 points per second for 10 seconds.

Passive Skills: Wisdom – Spirit acquisition extra +10%, dodge +2, attack speed +2.

Note: A special species among wooden creatures, possessing an evolving physique.

"Eh? What is this spirit for?"

Su Ran did not have a wood-based pet and naturally was unaware of the secrets therein, especially the term "spirit," which he had never encountered before.

"Ha-ha, so there are times when even Overturning Water doesn’t know!"

Banana burst into laughter. But before he could finish laughing, he slipped accidentally, screamed, and plummeted downward, sounding a snap as he ended up in a ’卍’ shape.

Uh.

It was a tragic joy.

Seeing this, Wu Qing couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, offering a brief comment: "Deserved!"

"Ha-ha, come on, let’s go see this guy’s miserable state."

Su Ran was the first to dive under the tree leaves. Possessing the skill to tread air, he wasn’t worried about falling and easily landed on the ground, only to find Banana had already gotten up, frantically using the Parasitic Tree to whip the dust off himself.

"Cough cough, that was just a mistake, not a normal operation..."

Seeing Wu Qing also jumped down, Banana hurriedly changed the topic, explaining the use of spirit, "Don’t underestimate this Parasitic Tree just because it’s a silver-class pet. Its potential for growth is considerable, all thanks to the spirit. As long as it absorbs enough spirit, this Parasitic Tree can continue to evolve!"

"Furthermore, it’s a premium pet possessing the passive skill Wisdom, which allows it to gain an additional 10% spirit, further accelerating the Parasitic Tree’s evolution pace. Ha-ha, it’s really not bad!"

Banana was quite satisfied with this newly caught pet, and even his voice became more cheerful.

"So it’s a growth-type pet, no wonder you are so excited,"

Su Ran nodded, acknowledging the value of the Parasitic Tree, "Banana, this Parasitic Tree even has the ability to strip skills, which is somewhat terrifying. If this Parasitic Tree keeps on stripping, wouldn’t it end up with hundreds of skills?"

"Brother, if this pet was as twisted as you say, it would have been a divine beast and not mine to catch,"

Facing Su Ran’s naivety, Banana couldn’t help but purse his lips, "The success rate of this skill stripping is so low, it’s practically negligible. Besides, the stripped skills only substitutes the existing ones and won’t increase..."
