Chapter 060 Chapter 60 (Updated)

“Eeh—Eeh—”

Above the dome, beneath the thick clouds, the agonized screams of the Wrathful Soul Butterfly grew increasingly piercing. Its antennae waved, its body trembling violently, its eyes flashing with vibrant colors. Its wings fluttered wildly, its silken threads trembling in agony, its scales and powder falling from the air.

In the spiritual space, the little caterpillar bit the Phantom Rhino angrily, making a howling sound.

Anyone who dares to touch its owner is a bad guy!

Born naive, it had only recently developed full intelligence. The first thing it saw upon opening its eyes was Xia Muqing. In the little caterpillar's heart, Xia Muqing was not only its beastmaster but also its most important family member, someone it would risk its life to protect.

"Aiya!"

Anyone who attacks Xia Muqing is an enemy!

The spiritual space was in turmoil. Under the strong emotional fluctuations of the little caterpillar, the thick black fog also surged up and turned into huge waves with splashing waves. The entire spiritual space was submerged in the roaring torrent.

The Phantom Rhino felt the pain and roared in anger, "Idiot! Idiot! Since you are so devoted, then follow your master and die together!"

The little caterpillar waved its antennae vigorously and spit out silk: "Ah-ah-ah!"

Just hit him, it’s not certain who will die!

Another stream of white energy surged from its body. That was the power transformed from its 'life energy' ability, which was absorbed from the residual soul of the Phantom Rhino. The little caterpillar originally couldn't control its own abilities, but in an emergency, infinite potential burst out from its body, and its abilities became more and more proficient as it used them.

In the midst of crisis, it is evolving rapidly, growing from an ignorant child into a qualified combat beast!

The spiritual bodies of the two mysterious beasts rolled together, and the spiritual space became increasingly turbulent and precarious.

Not far away, Xia Muqing felt that the ground under her feet became undulating and she could not stand steadily at all. The space around her also twisted and changed, like a stretched oil paper, making a sharp whistling sound.

Xia Muqing took a difficult step and shouted loudly: "Xiao Zi?"

Suddenly, a gentle force surged from afar, like the soft wings of a butterfly, isolating the spiritual storm outside and protecting her firmly in the center.

The power was warm and gentle, emitting a lustrous white light and imbued with an aura that Xia Muqing was extremely familiar with. Enveloped by that power, Xia Muqing felt all her fatigue melt away, and the life energy, like a hot spring, flowed into her body, soothing the mental damage she had sustained along the way.

Is this... life energy?

"Xiao Zi?"

The next second, the force suddenly lifted Xia Muqing up and bounced her out of the spiritual battlefield.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw before her was the shattered factory dome and the increasingly dark sky.

"hiss……"

Xia Muqing had a severe headache and rubbed her temples hard, trying to get up from the ground.

But the sequelae of misusing her mental power showed up at this time. She felt her whole body was limp and her limbs were powerless. She fell down again just after she got up a little. Her eyelids were heavy and her vision was blurry.

The Swift Dog and the Koi Fish rushed to her side, spinning around anxiously: "Awoo, awoo!"

Xia Muqing tried hard to keep her eyelids open: "It's okay, I'm fine... How's Xiao Zi?"

She turned her eyes and glanced at the sky, only to see that high in the sky, the struggle of the ghost butterfly had reached the most critical stage.

Its antennae were raised high, and the light in its eyes was flashing. The evil ghost pattern on the butterfly wings kept changing. Sometimes there were corpses and dry bones everywhere, and sometimes it suddenly turned into children's graffiti, crooked and twisted, like a small cradle.

Thanks to the efforts of the little caterpillar, the corpse of the mysterious beast activated by the "Resurrection" skill gradually slowed down, and its movements became noticeably stiff.

The Gale Dog and the Koi Fish looked up at the sky nervously. Relying on the contract between them and Xia Muqing, they could vaguely sense that a difficult and fierce battle was breaking out in the sky.

However, this is a battle that takes place on the spiritual level, and they can't help much except cheering the little caterpillar on in their hearts.

Fortunately, the little caterpillar was extremely talented. After realizing the use of "life energy", it worked hard to transform the endless hatred into energy, and the balance of victory gradually tilted.

In the spiritual world, Youpoxi finally despaired.

It realized that it could no longer defeat the little caterpillar. A cruel look flashed in its scarlet pupils, and it suddenly stopped attacking.

The little caterpillar also stopped and stared at the Phantom Rhino vigilantly, guarding against it attacking again.

The Phantom Rhino stared at it for a long time, and then let out a long sigh.

"I know you're still young, and you might not understand everything I said today."

"But it doesn't matter. I may perish, but the hatred of thousands and thousands of mysterious beasts will never fade. One day, you will understand this anger, and then—"

It paused, revealing a hideous smile, with scars all over its cheeks, looking very scary.

The next second, the thick black fog seemed to be summoned and suddenly swarmed into the body of the Phantom Rhino, becoming more and more concentrated and pure!

The body of the Phantom Rhino also shrank rapidly, and finally turned into a pitch-black needle, condensing endless hatred. When the little caterpillar was not prepared, it suddenly stabbed it towards its eyebrows!

Little Caterpillar: "Ah!!"

It cried out in pain, its body suddenly expanding, and a dark pattern appeared faintly on its back. This wasn't the end yet. The ghost rhino's laughter echoed in the spiritual space, rumbling like thunder.

"Kill her, kill that human girl!"

Above the old factory building, the ghost butterfly froze.

At that moment, an unprecedented strong red light surged in its eyes, containing the desperate struggle of the Ghost Rhino before it completely disappeared. The faint light waves condensed under its wings, aimed at Xia Muqing who was unable to move on the ground, and suddenly shot out!

The moment the light wave was emitted, countless skeletons of mysterious beasts shook violently and turned into dust!

The thick clouds in the sky also dissipated - the Ghost Butterfly poured all the energy it could mobilize into this attack, making the speed of the light wave exceed the speed of sound, and in the blink of an eye it had reached Xia Muqing!

Xia Muqing had no time to dodge, she didn't even have time to blink.

The little koi couldn't react to this attack speed!

The wind howled violently, and the Phantom Rhino's final wild laugh echoed in the wind: "Go to hell!"

"Bang--!!"

A huge energy wave exploded, and a deep crack appeared on the warehouse floor. The walls of the factory building cracked with crackling sounds, and the entire old factory building finally collapsed.

Amidst the flying dust, the little koi's frightened scream echoed: "Gulu!"

Owner!

A fierce wind blew, dust flew everywhere, and a violent coughing sound came from the ruins: "Cough, cough, cough!"

Xia Muqing waved her hands vigorously to disperse the dust: "It's okay, I'm fine - Xiaofeng!"

In front of her, the Swifthound that had blocked the light wave at the critical moment trembled a few times and glanced at her out of the corner of its eye.

Seeing that Xia Muqing was fine, it finally felt relieved, closed its eyes, and fell to the ground.

Xia Muqing: “!!!”

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she rushed over with all her strength and hugged the little hurricane dog: "Xiaofeng, how are you? Wake up!"

Above the dome, the Ghost Butterfly, having used up all its strength, turned into a streak of light and fell among the ruins.

The power of evolution dissipated, but the little caterpillar didn't wake up as usual. Its entire body was wrapped in gray-black silk. Although it had a physical form, it was entirely condensed from profound energy. The coils were wrapped tightly, locking the unconscious little caterpillar in its cocoon.

The sky darkened and night fell. The security personnel finally dispersed the debris outside and rushed inside with their men.

As soon as they entered the old factory area, they were shocked by the tragic scene of people in black all over the ground.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Walking further in, Sister Wenxue saw Xia Muqing, who was covered in dust.

She rushed forward in surprise: "Xia classmate, you are here——"

"Hiss, my God, what happened to the Swift Dog?"

"And this...cocoon that the koi fish is holding?"

"Could this be the cocoon of the monster just now?"

…

Xia Muqing's spirit was damaged, and her temporary outburst exhausted her strength. She fell into a coma again shortly after being rescued.

When she woke up again, she was lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital, with Koi Fish lying on the head of the bed, snoring loudly.

There was a fruit plate on the bedside table, and a glass of boiled water beside it, still steaming. The window was opened a little, and outside the sun was shining brightly, with a gentle breeze.

Xia Muqing weakly propped herself up and touched the little koi's head.

The koi fish woke up immediately, and when it saw her, it jumped up from the bed in surprise: "Gulu!"

Master, you finally woke up!

Xu Ling and Wenxue just went out and will be back soon. Master, how are you? Are you feeling unwell?

"I'm fine," Xia Muqing smiled, her face pale. "What about Xiaofeng and Xiaozi? How are they?"

Little Koi: “…”

Seeing the little koi hesitating and not daring to speak, the smile on Xia Muqing's face gradually disappeared.

She had a bad feeling in her heart and asked nervously, "What happened? Where are they?"

The little koi's eyes wandered, and he jumped onto the bed next to him and opened the curtain.

"Gurgle."

Big Brother Gale Dog and Little Silly Bug... haven't woken up yet.

Hearing it say this, Xia Muqing's heart suddenly became confused. She quickly stood up and went to the bed next to her to take a closer look.

The little caterpillar was locked in a gray cocoon, its figure vague but unconscious. Xia Muqing tried to activate the spiritual contract, but it seemed to fall on deaf ears, with no effect at all.

She also felt a sinister energy in the little caterpillar's body, exactly the same as the brutal resentment in the vengeful butterfly that day. The power was tightly attached to the little caterpillar's back, swirling in its meridians, like a thorn in the bone, lingering and lingering.

As a result, the cocoons of the little caterpillars are filled with a black gas, which looks weird no matter how you look at it.

And the Swift Dog.

The little hurricane dog was also seriously injured and is now in a deep coma and has not woken up yet.

That day, the final attack from the Wrathful Butterfly came suddenly, leaving Xia Muqing helpless except for the Swift Dog, who possessed the ability to foresee danger. However, after withstanding the blast, the Swift Dog suffered not only external injuries but also severe mental damage. Even the Koi Fish's Riptide Shockwave treatment proved ineffective.

Holding the two seriously injured mysterious beasts in her arms, Xia Muqing felt a surge of pain in her heart, and her nose was also very sore.

Although she knew that it was common for beastmasters to see mysterious beasts injured, for Xia Muqing, this was the first time she had encountered such a tragic situation since she entered the beast taming world.

Especially the Swift Dog, the earliest contracted profound beast to follow her, and the one Xia Muqing had the deepest feelings for. Seeing Xiao Feng curled up in a small ball, looking weak and with eyes tightly closed, she felt as if needles were pricking her heart, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

The little koi fish jumped onto her shoulder, waved its tail carefully, and pressed its lips against her cheek.

"Yeah, it'll be fine."

Xia Muqing took a deep breath and lowered her head slightly.

Both Swift Dog and Little Caterpillar will definitely be fine.

She needs to calm down now and think of a solution quickly.
