Chapter 172: Mist Colt Evolves Again, Golden Leaf Revives!!! p1
[Heavenly Pole: Unlimited vision, removes range restrictions for pet beasts.]
[Yellow Pole: Can see a pet beast’s entire evolution path. Long cooldown.]
[Star Pole: Instantly awakens a pet beast. Long cooldown.]
“Heavenly Pole, Yellow Pole, Star Pole…”
“What’s going on? A fragmented aura from millions of years ago granted me a talent…?”
“How is this even possible!?” In the depths of the Great Lord Biluo’s cultivation cave in Bimen Pass, the golden-haired girl clutched her eye in disbelief, standing near the meteorite soil she had been cultivating.
Even if the Eleventh Zodiac was incredibly powerful, its residual aura from millions of years ago…it couldn’t possibly change her blood (Pet Essence) completely, right?
And how could a human gain a talent…?
Hybrids could only use minor, magic-like abilities. This was common knowledge in the Pet Beast World! Like the beast ears of Biological Species hybrids, the elementalization of Elemental Species hybrids, the small storage space of Viral Species hybrids, the part-embedding ability of Mechanical Species hybrids, and the weapon proficiency and weaponized body parts of Weapon Species hybrids.
These hybrid abilities were minor enhancements, practically useless in high-level battles where everyone had awakened forms. Even a Viral Species hybrid Beast Tamer with high bloodline purity could only use their storage space, they couldn’t create a void.
“Wait…could it be that the Eleventh Zodiac is watching me?” Lian Xing thought, a shiver running down her spine.
Just one of its basic talents, Heavenly Pole, could see the entire world. So, after she had defiled its residual aura, how could the Eleventh Zodiac not notice!?
But if her guess was correct, it must be interested in her, its impression of her positive…
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to inherit its talent…
Thinking of this, Lian Xing lowered her hand, a starry sky reflected in her eyes.
As long as she could become stronger, it didn’t matter~~~
Lian Xing focused on the talent selection screen.
Heavenly Pole, essentially omnipresent vision, and the removal of all pet beast range restrictions. It was a cheat that she would have dreamed of before.
But…
This ability wouldn’t directly increase her strength.
If it had been before the Fallen Species’s arrival, she might have chosen it, but in the current situation, she had to reluctantly give it up.
The other two, Yellow Pole and Star Pole…
Yellow Pole, which could reveal a pet beast’s entire evolution path its cooldown was probably measured in years, perhaps even decades.
And Star Pole, which could instantly awaken any pet beast…its cooldown was likely measured in months…
“If only their descriptions were more detailed…”
“Like, what portion of the evolution path could Yellow Pole reveal? Could it even reveal the paths of Legends, Shining Species, Ancient Species, or even Fallen Species!?”
“No, that’s impossible. It’s just a basic talent of the Eleventh Zodiac. It can’t be that powerful. So, Legends and the three special evolution paths…they’re probably unreadable…”
“And Star Pole’s ability to awaken a pet beast…it’s too ordinary, practically useless for Monarch-Tier pet beasts that have already mastered Awakening…”
“So, is this Awakening really just…normal Awakening…?”
“Or is it a special awakened form influenced by the Eleventh Zodiac’s aura, like the Full Moon bloodline combat skill of the Moonlight Rabbit…?”
After pondering for a while, Lian Xing chose Star Pole, the least flashy of the three.
After selecting it, there was no explanation, no fanfare, it simply appeared in her mind.
Should she test it…?
No, what if the cooldown was half a year? She would look like a fool.
Lian Xing quickly dismissed this tempting thought.
After all, she had confirmed that her previous life’s Pet Beast Evolution Battle and this Pet Beast World were connected. So, the information about those Fallen Species she had seen in the buggy map…it might be real…
Flood, Drought, Storm, Volcano.
It had been Storm that had attacked the main city in the game, forcing millions of players to log out and trapping her in the buggy map. Lian Xing now suspected that it hadn’t been a game bug, but Storm actually breaking through the dimensional barrier and entering that Mechanical Species’s game world.
Yes, that must be it. After all, this Fallen Species’s aura was very similar to Flood’s!!!
This was the real Flood…
So, based on Flood’s size, the lice would probably arrive in about 20 days, likely destroying this Pet Beast World. If she wasted Star Pole now, she would regret it…
Thinking of this, Lian Xing stopped thinking about it and continued her farming game, watering the meteorite soil in the cave.
A few days later, Star Sand and the Mist Colt revived, and Lian Xing finally had some protection. However, Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s shield, with its current durability, couldn’t withstand a direct attack from an Emperor-Tier pet beast. It could only protect Lian Xing from the aftershocks… Even the Yellow Springs Beckon had instantly shattered it.
“I have to evolve Dreamflow Sunset Glow again…”
“But there are still many hidden requirements, and I didn’t choose Yellow Pole. I can only guess based on its Commander-Tier evolution—”
“An Emperor-Tier crystal, a Black Quality combat skill, defeating an Ancient Species, defeating a Legend, defeating an Emperor several of the hard requirements for evolution have already been met. There shouldn’t be many left.”
“A bloodline combat skill?”
“A specific defensive combat skill?”
“Or…accumulated damage…?”
[Lian Xing, Lian Xing, are you there!?] Suddenly, as Lian Xing was pondering Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s evolution path, the Celestial Anchor’s radar detected a voice calling out from the Star Gate area in the Dominating Cauldron Palace. She shared the Celestial Anchor’s vision and saw not only the black umbrella woman and Jade Lady, but also a cold, white-haired beauty in a Seven Heavens uniform.
Snow Sun, who had summoned the Ancient Species at the All-Pet Beast Tournament!
“I’m here, what’s up!?” Lian Xing replied through the Celestial Anchor.
Hearing her response, Jade Lady seemed relieved.
“So you’ve recovered?”
“The Seven Heavens just obtained detailed information about that Fallen Species. It’s one of the new world’s Four Disasters, known as ‘Flood.’ And it’s the largest of the four Fallen Emperors, carrying the most lice…”
“According to the Seven Heavens, their defensive line might not be able to stop all the lice. They can only protect the Seven Heavens, Youyou Leize, and Worry-Free Pond. The Dominating Cauldron Palace and the City of Awe will have to defend themselves, although we don’t really need to…”
“They’re mainly worried about the Beast Tamer Alliance’s subordinate regions, which have no Sovereign-Tier Emperors, but have the largest population. And the Seven Heavens don’t have enough forces to protect them.”
“So, they’ve sent Snow Sun, who just joined them, to assist you. She has agreed…”
Hearing this, Lian Xing pondered.
So Snow Sun, after the destruction of the Wind Sand Region, had become homeless…?
Well, that was a bit insensitive…
“Alright, I’ll give you the key.” With that, Lian Xing used the Celestial Anchor’s small part, the Bearing Star Mark, to send a Star Key to them.
Receiving the Star Key, Snow Sun stepped into the Star Gate.
“Whoosh—”
In the next second, the white-haired girl appeared above Bimen Pass, looking around in surprise.
This teleportation distance was incredible…
And there wasn’t even any loading time…
As Snow Sun marveled at the technology, Black Sun Flame instinctively emerged from her body, its gaze fixed on a certain direction in Bimen Pass.
“It’s fine, it’s not an enemy…” Snow Sun said, gently stroking the black, elemental flames, then, slightly nervously, flew towards the cave where Lian Xing was located.
At the cave entrance, a white-haired snow woman and a starlight elemental figure stood guard.
Snow Flower, ranked 8th among the 72 Legends.
And Star Sand, ranked within the top 20…
Although Star Sand wasn’t a combat-type pet beast, their high rankings among the Legends made Black Sun Flame, which was in the lower half, feel a sense of pressure…
And Snow Flower’s presence was even more terrifying. It could even fight against an Emperor at Royal-Tier.
And Black Sun Flame’s Royal-Tier form couldn’t even touch an Emperor, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easily defeated by the Yellow Springs Beckon…
Leaving Black Sun Flame to guard the entrance with Snow Flower and Star Sand, the white-haired girl entered the cave.
A few minutes later, Snow Sun saw the golden-haired girl watering the plants…
After a brief moment of adjustment, the stars in Lian Xing’s eyes had returned to normal, her expression calm.
“Snow Sun, the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters doesn’t really need our help. They have four Emperors. But the Alliance’s subordinate regions, as you know, they have a limited number of Monarch-Tier pet beasts. If those lice descend from the sky, there’s no way they can respond in time. So, you’ll have to travel around and help them.”
“Yes, I understand…” Snow Sun nodded.
Because Flood’s size was so massive, the lice would appear randomly across the Pet Beast World, like dumplings being dropped into a pot, there were no designated teleportation locations.
But they would definitely target the strongest first. After all, this wasn’t a game where you could slowly farm experience. If they were too slow, the local Emperor-Tier pet beasts would be claimed…by other lice.
“Oh, and if there’s any unusual activity in the sky, immediately recall Black Sun Flame. Don’t let anyone notice a Legend’s presence in this area. The weaker our aura, the fewer lice will be attracted here.”
“Yes, yes…” Snow Sun’s usual demeanor was cold and aloof, especially after the destruction of her hometown.
But facing the golden-haired girl’s instructions, she nodded obediently, like a secretary…
After all, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing was the only Shining Species holder in this Pet Beast World…!!!
Another ten days passed quickly.
During this time, Snow Sun’s arrival had been a great help.
Lian Xing had been having Dreamflow Sunset Glow and Black Sun Flame spar repeatedly. Black Sun Flame hadn’t evolved into its Royal-Tier form, Dark Ink Candlelight, instead battling against Dreamflow Sunset Glow in its newborn Commander-Tier form.
Their strengths were evenly matched, their battles intense.
After several days and nights of continuous fighting, the Mist Colt finally mastered its first bloodline combat skill.
[Bloodline Combat Skill: Coiling Clouds — Transforms the Pet Essence within the clouds into an additional shield, enhancing its own defense and sharing the damage taken by its teammates.]
Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s mastery of this bloodline combat skill was faster than Lian Xing had expected. After all, she didn’t even know how to master the Mist Colt’s bloodline combat skills, she could only let it figure it out on its own.
She couldn’t help but wonder if it had already mastered this combat skill in its previous life…
Thus, Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s Royal-Tier evolution path was finally open…
[Defeat a Throne-Level pet beast of at least Commander-Tier (Already fulfilled – Tianzhu New Year).]
[Defeat three Monarch-Tier pet beasts (Already fulfilled).]
[Defeat a Legend of any tier (Already fulfilled – Returning Dust, Rainwater, Ephemeral).]
[Equip a defense-type Fluorescent combat skill (Already fulfilled – North Wind).]
[Equip a speed-type Green Quality combat skill (Already fulfilled – Illustrious Form).]
[Equip a passive-type Green Quality combat skill (Already fulfilled – Heavenly Punishment).]
[Master a bloodline combat skill (Already fulfilled – Coiling Clouds).]
[Consume a Viral Species Emperor-Tier crystal (Already fulfilled – Three-Inch Incense).]
“Whoosh!!!”
A dreamlike, flowing mist appeared.
Dreamflow Sunset Glow, Royal-Tier evolution!!!
Over a month had passed since Flood’s arrival, the sky above the entire Pet Beast World a oppressive crimson sea.
However, the expected rain of lice hadn’t arrived yet.
But they didn’t think this disaster was over.
It simply meant that Flood’s lice had been too active recently, most of them concentrated in its rear, not yet having reached its front half.
So, as the new month began, Lian Xing, without hesitation, used two more Resurrection Coins on the Moonlight Rabbit, reducing its revival time to one week. The Golden Leaf’s revival time was also down to about three days.
And on this day, the crimson sky finally stirred…
“…”
“…”
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
With a deafening roar, a giant, crimson claw tore through the sky, the terrifying, almost tangible aura of a Sovereign-Tier Emperor sweeping across the Pet Beast World. Then, under the horrified gazes of all the smaller pet beasts, countless Royal-Tier and Commander-Tier pet beasts rained down from the sky, like dumplings…
How could Commander-Tier pet beasts withstand a Fallen Species’s aura!?
Because most of them had been born there, exposed to the Fallen’s aura while still in their mothers’ wombs, granting them an innate resistance.
So, not only Commander-Tier, but even Low-Tier lice existed…
However, most Juvenile Species below Commander-Tier wouldn’t leave the Fallen Species’s body.
At this moment, in the region below Bimen Pass, seeing the descending pet beasts, Lian Xing and Snow Sun immediately recalled their pet beasts. Lian Xing also hid Snow Flower and the soil inside Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s Viral Space.
As expected, Bimen Pass, a weak region without even a Monarch-Tier guardian, didn’t attract the lice’s attention. The few Monarch-Tier pet beasts that landed simply glanced around, then flew away, heading towards either the Dominating Cauldron Palace or the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters.
Three minutes later, an Elemental Species Emperor descended, its terrifying aura almost suffocating all the beings in the Beast Tamer Alliance’s subordinate regions.
And in the next second, something unthinkable happened.
Without any reason, after landing, instead of heading towards the defensive line where the stronger pet beasts were located, it casually unleashed a small sphere of light towards the area below. As a shockwave rippled outwards, hundreds of regions were about to b …destroyed…
No one could stop it…
However, in the next second—
[Viral Duel]
