Just as Luo Yan was still undecided, the Qiguang Bird had already largely recovered, flapping its wings and flying up. However, it didn't leave, but landed on Luo Yan's shoulder. As soon as it settled, its small black eyes suddenly burst into golden light, turning pure gold.
Golden light emanated from the Qiguang Bird, and Luo Yan immediately felt warm all over, with an indescribable comfort.
"Caw!"
The Qiguang Bird let out a cry, and a visible golden ripple spread out. Luo Yan immediately felt a significant increase in his strength and spirit.
Luo Yan stood there stunned. Seeing him in a daze, the Qiguang Bird gently pecked Luo Yan's temple with its sharp beak. When Luo Yan came to his senses and turned to look, it even humanly tilted its head, as if saying, "See? I'm amazing!"
Its intelligence seems to have increased, and it looks like it wants to follow me. Heh! Is it because it knows I gave it magical power?
Luo Yan's heart settled, and he gently stroked the tuft of golden down on the Qiguang Bird's head with his hand.
"From now on, you'll be called Potter."
"Caw!"
Potter cried out again, the golden light on its body receded, and its eyes returned to black, showing no more signs of anything extraordinary. Only a small amount of gold on its body indicated that it was different from other seabirds.
"Congratulations, you seem to have gotten a good pet. It seems I need to go catch another animal."
Dragon hadn't expected Luo Yan to take a seabird as a pet, but he wasn't too surprised either. Luo Yan smiled and nodded in response.
Dragon disappeared again, and after a short while, reappeared. This time, he had caught a wild boar, just over a meter long. It appeared to be a juvenile wild boar, but perhaps due to its breed, this wild boar already had inch-long tusks, possessing considerable attacking power.
"This pig should also be able to take the potion, right?"
Dragon asking this wasn't seeking an answer from Luo Yan, but rather telling Luo Yan that he wanted this pig to drink the potion.
Luo Yan nodded, wasting no words. He took out another bottle of potion from the box, then thought for a moment and took out an additional bottle. One was pure gold, the other light blue; they were two completely different potions.
Then Luo Yan directly poured the two potions together. The moment they touched, the liquid briefly boiled, then merged with each other. Without even needing to stir, they had perfectly blended into a purple potion.
"No matter who drinks this potion, they will lose control and become a monster!"
Luo Yan was very certain this time, because this potion itself was already a problematic potion. If this potion could be endured by a pig, then he would have to relearn basic mysticism knowledge.
Dragon nodded, his expression becoming somewhat serious. He was already prepared for battle. As soon as he witnessed the mutated monster, he would strike it down to prevent destruction.
Luo Yan said no more, taking two steps forward and using his water manipulation ability to control the potion, forming a thin stream that flowed into the wild boar's mouth.
Before the wild boar could finish drinking all the potion, its limbs began to twitch, and it fell to the ground, its eyes rolling back, drooling from the corners of its mouth, as if having a seizure.
After the potion was completely poured into the wild boar's mouth, Luo Yan also quickly retreated, afraid that the wild boar might suddenly erupt and harm someone.
The wild boar's pain became more and more evident. Suddenly, its entire body's skin split open, and a large amount of wriggling flesh poured out from within. Scales and feathers protruded from the flesh, without any pattern, as if the scales and feathers were casually sprinkled on a mass of flesh. And at the top of the converging flesh was a pig's head, a pig's head without skin, only muscle!
"Is this... a mutated monster?"
Dragon's expression was no longer calm; even he was startled.
Bang!
Before Dragon could launch an attack, the monster that the wild boar had mutated into suddenly exploded. Countless pieces of flesh scattered in all directions. This mutated monster seemed unable to withstand the further impact of the potion.
However, this was not the end. The scattered flesh actually tried to re-gather. They began to wriggle on the ground like insects, leaving crimson blood trails wherever they went, like a snail's mucus. It made Luo Yan's scalp tingle, let alone Dragon's.
As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon had always been a very decisive person, yet now he was somewhat at a loss.
Fortunately, he didn't have to hesitate for too long. After crawling a short distance, the pieces of flesh suddenly all lost their movement. Points of light separated from the minced meat and converged on one of the wild boar's tusks. The tusk changed, becoming straight and flat, finally forming a palm-length dagger.
"The tusk turned into a dagger?"
Although Luo Yan had already said in advance that inanimate objects could also take potions, a bony tusk turning into a metal dagger right before his eyes still shocked him again.
Luo Yan took a few steps forward, bent down, and picked up the dagger. He casually swung it, and the dagger slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. In that instant, the dagger had suddenly become very slippery. Luo Yan felt as if he was holding not a dagger, but a very slimy loach.
"What's wrong?"
Dragon had kept his attention on the dagger. Its slipping from Luo Yan's hand naturally caught his attention.
Luo Yan picked up the dagger again, his expression becoming a little strange.
"Almost all magical items have negative effects. Some negative effects are very slight and can basically be ignored, while some negative effects can be quite severe, even just sitting there can cause huge disasters. This dagger also has a negative effect. I think you saw it just now: it will become very slippery at the moment the wielder attacks."
"Become very slippery?"
Dragon's expression also became strange. Was this negative effect serious? Among magical items, it could definitely be considered very minor, but for a dagger, becoming slippery when attacking is too fatal.
Daggers are often used for assassination, a one-shot attack, often used at critical moments. But suddenly having your hand slip at such a critical moment, who could stand that?
Seriously speaking, this dagger could even be classified as a 'unusable' magical item.
"This seems to be a rather useless weapon."
Dragon gave his evaluation. Luo Yan lightly tossed the dagger in his hand. The moment the dagger fell, he kicked the hilt, and the dagger, enveloped in golden light, shot out and embedded itself in a reef. The golden light erupted inside the reef, directly shattering it.
"Actually, it's quite useful. This dagger is made from a blend of a Guang Ren Potion and a Sailor Potion. It will unleash Holy Light upon hitting its target, and you've seen its power."
