In the shadows of a street corner.
A young man in black stood silently.
He stared at Lin Hao's back with a gloomy look, and a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet here."
This person had a handsome face and was the body that the third prince Yan Hongyi had taken over.
His current identity in the Dark Temple is Wu Hong.
The illegitimate son of the temple guardian elder 'Wu Yan'.
Watching Lin Hao and Tao Ling walk into a luxurious hotel, Yan Hongyi reached for his storage ring and took out a sound transmission talisman.
"Help me kill someone. The reward is ten infant cultivation pills. If you are interested, come to White Mist Island immediately."
As the sound transmission talisman ignited, Yan Hongyi's cold voice, filled with murderous intent, suddenly transmitted out.
whoosh!
Soon, a sound transmission note flew out of his storage ring.
"no problem."
A hoarse voice also sounded in his mind.
…
At this time, inside the restaurant.
Lin Hao and Tao Ling sat opposite each other in the elegant seat by the window on the third floor.
"This, and this..."
It was Lin Hao's first time treating others, and Tao Ling was not polite at all. She pointed at the menu and ordered a lot.
"Hurry up and serve the food."
Lin Hao didn't care about this. He took out two Lingyang stones and handed them to the waiter next to him as a tip.
"Yes, sir."
The waiter smiled and immediately took the menu and arranged the meal.
In his spare time, Lin Hao did not chat with Tao Ling. His mind moved slightly and he called up the system evolution panel.
"Host, please select the pet that needs to evolve."
The system's electronic synthesized sound sounded as usual.
"One-click evolution."
Lin Hao directly checked the Mantis King, Tiger Tyrant, and Ant King.
Three pets, all at once.
"Ding, congratulations to codename 002 'Mantis King' for upgrading to SSS rank and evolving into Dark Flame Spirit."
"Ding, congratulations to codename 003 'Tiger Tyrant' for evolving to SSS level and activating the Beast King bloodline."
"Ding, congratulations to codename 004 'Ant King' for upgrading to SSS rank and evolving into the Abyss Demon Ant."
"Congratulations to the Ant King for obtaining a pet skill, 100 times more violent."
Suddenly, a series of system prompts sounded in Lin Hao's mind.
Immediately afterwards, the attribute panels of the three pets also flashed out.
【Mantis King】
Code: 002
Owner: Lin Hao
Combat Power: 90000
Skills: Phantom Scythe, Flame Slash, Body Zoom, Deadly Breath
Evolution: Dark Flame Spirit (Energy form, ignoring any physical attacks.)
Level: SSS
The totem shape, with its original two pairs of blade limbs, split into three pairs.
Compared with the previous black flame demon body, the current Mantis King is an energy spirit body condensed entirely by black flames, without any flesh and blood.
【Ant King】
Code: 003
Owner: Lin Hao
Combat Power: 80000
Skills: Naruto Clone, Ant Beast Summoning, Hundred Times Rage (increases 100 times the Rage power after use)
Talent: Fire Spirit Explosion Armor (increases to 70% of anti-armor damage)
Level: SSS
After evolution, the ant king's body becomes harder and harder like a shell of armor, and its surface is covered with mysterious lines.
All the lines come together, as if forming some kind of mysterious rune.
And on its back, a pair of blood wings extended out, surrounded by dark red flames.
…
【Tiger King】
Owner: Lin Hao
Code: 003
Combat Strength: 100,000
Skills: Thunder Roar, Thunder Strike, Fire Storm
Talent: Beast King Bloodline
Level: SSS
The form of Tiger King after evolution also undergoes amazing changes.
It has horns on its head, its body is covered with scales, its claws are sharp, and its huge body is surrounded by lightning, emitting the heart-pounding aura of the beast king!
In that form, Lin Hao felt like a Qilin, visually extremely powerful and domineering!
This evolution also made it the most powerful among many pets.
On the system panel in his mind, Lin Hao stared at the three pets that evolved into SSS level and was quite amazed.
After spending so much time, we finally built a super powerful team of fighting beasts.
With his current pet group, even if he encounters the Dark Temple Sect's Guardian Elder 'Wu Wei' again, he will definitely not be as helpless as before.
"Ding, the host's pets have all evolved to the SSS stage, and a new system evolution mode is being unlocked."
Hearing this, Lin Hao was slightly startled and immediately became expectant.
After a few breaths of silence.
The system's mechanical voice sounded again:
"Ding, the Tyrant Beast Devouring Mode has been activated."
"Function: can devour everything and strengthen the pet's combat power."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hao discovered that a progress bar appeared under the totems of each of the four pets.
This model completely abandons the early stage of money accumulation.
Instead, it uses a domineering way to forcibly devour foreign objects and implement evolution!
"Devouring everything? Humans too?"
Lin Hao was secretly surprised and asked in his heart.
"As long as there is a body of life energy, it can be devoured. If the host is willing, the host can also be devoured."
Soon, the system voice sounded again.
However, the following sentence made him shudder in his heart.
Devour yourself?
Are you sick?
Lin Hao obviously felt a little uneasy about the system's prompt.
"What's wrong?"
As if noticing the change in Lin Hao's expression, Tao Ling asked curiously.
"fine."
Lin Hao shook his head, and then couldn't help but ask: "Tao Ling, have you ever thought about how the system came about?"
"Who created its existence and the place of its origin?"
Obviously, the system's words just now, "If the host is willing, the host can also be devoured."
This caused Lin Hao, who had always relied on the system's capabilities, to begin to waver.
Tao Ling was a little overwhelmed by the sudden question.
"I don't know."
Her eyes were a little confused and she shook her head.
This is because, even though he has now entered the holy realm of martial arts cultivation, there is still no trace of the system on his body.
Tao Ling didn't know how to describe that ethereal feeling.
"Perhaps, it will suddenly disappear one day."
Tao Ling's thoughts were obviously more optimistic, and she said with a smile: "So while the system is still there, we can't waste it."
"I'm almost saving enough money to participate in another god-level lottery. I wonder what I'll win this time."
Her face was full of anticipation and she did not have the same sense of preparedness as Lin Hao.
At this time, the waiters were already carrying the dishes and serving them to the table one after another.
Lin Hao had no choice but to give up on this issue.
He then took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart.
Looking at the sumptuous table of delicacies from land and sea, Lin Hao suddenly felt hungry and ate heartily with Tao Ling.
During the meal, the two of them ordered a few bottles of good wine and drank happily.
This kind of wine is not the ordinary wine in the outside world. It is mixed with the juice of seven-leaf spiritual fruit and is extremely strong.
Even martial artists will get drunk if they drink too much.
