Chapter 086 Chapter 86
As the evolved form of the Starry Sky Oriole, the Sky Silver Oriole is a support-type mystical beast with a softer appearance, a gentler temperament, and a body that shines with silver light.
But the phantom that appeared before everyone's eyes at this time was obviously not like this - the flowing light was overwhelming and magnificent. The outstretched wings of the mysterious beast's projection almost covered half of the snow-capped peak. The feathers were not as white as snow as everyone imagined, but were emitting dark light, which reminded people of the deep sky shrouded in night.
The shadow, with its beautiful tail, flew through the sky, facing the light and the bright moon. However, the sky behind it, which was brushed by its wings, turned into the thick night.
The singing in the air grew louder, and the tone of the cries gradually changed from melodious and gentle to passionate, like a loud war song, which made the listeners' blood boil and the vast battlefield vaguely appeared before their eyes.
"This is definitely not the Silver Oriole!"
"What kind of mysterious beast is it?"
The crowd was talking about it, but no matter how much they argued, they couldn't make out what was going on.
But this did not prevent them from feeling the power of Xiaoyingzi after her evolution - after all, the Yunhua Valley, which had been silent for many years, was filled with strange phenomena because of her coming into the world!
Among the beast tamers watching the scene, there happened to be one who loved photography. He immediately turned on his camera and started taking pictures of the sky.
In the valley, Xu Ling was also jumping with excitement.
"Ahhh Mu Qing, it worked, it worked!"
"Little Yingzi has evolved successfully! Yay, yay, woohoo!!"
She grabbed Xia Muqing's arm, laughing and screaming.
Xia Muqing smiled. "Alright, alright. I told you there'd be no problem evolving. Starry Sky Oriole—well, now that it's evolved successfully, it's time to change its name."
"How about calling it Night King Oriole?"
Xu Ling covered her face, her cheeks burning with excitement: "Wow, this name is so childish, so embarrassing - but I like it, ahahaha!"
"Little warbler, Night King Warbler!"
The Night Kingbird raised its head, proud and graceful: "Chirp!"
As an evolved form that is more powerful than the Sky Silver Warbler, the Night King Warbler's body shape is not much different from that of the Moon Warbler, except that its beak is sharper and its feathers are sharper.
Its wings are no longer the snow-white color as before, but transition from light to dark blue like the night sky from the belly to the back wings. The edges of the wings are dotted with silver light, just like the Milky Way flowing in the night, so gorgeous and unparalleled.
There was a silver crown shadow floating faintly above the head, as if it was condensed from moonlight. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see woven thorns supporting tiny starlights.
"The Night Kingbird is so beautiful."
Xu Ling stroked the little warbler's wings, and Xia Muqing also curiously leaned over to touch it - the touch was as silky as silk, making people unable to let go.
But Xia Muqing also knew that once entering combat mode, these soft feathers would instantly stand up and turn into sharp blades, and the dreamy starlight under the wings would also turn into sharp blades, blowing through the enemy's defenses.
He is able to attack and support, and his reputation is well-deserved.
Xu Ling sighed, "Little Yingzi has successfully evolved. I can finally put my mind at ease."
"But Mu Qing, how are your Xiaofeng and Xiaozi doing? Can they make a breakthrough with the help of the Yunhua Ceremony?"
Xia Muqing paused and held up the gray cocoon in her hand.
"It's okay," she said cheerfully, "I can feel that Xiao Zi is on the verge of breaking out of her cocoon."
The gray cocoon seemed to have heard her words, and it trembled a few times, and its round body spun in Xia Muqing's palm.
“Swish, swish…”
Along with a slight noise, the gray cocoon that had been silent for months finally cracked open a tiny crack, and a strong light burst out from the crack, illuminating the entire earth!
…
Outside the valley, the strange phenomenon in the sky gradually dissipated and returned to its normal azure color.
But the Beastmasters were still excited, and they were discussing the strange phenomenon incessantly. Many flying-type profound beasts were also envious, flapping their wings and soaring high, hoping to get closer to the location of the strange phenomenon.
Maybe if you rush to the sky, you can even hook the tail of the strange vision and get some good luck?
The beastmasters also praised him repeatedly, with gleams in their eyes.
“So beautiful, so magnificent!”
"It's been how many years since we last saw a strange phenomenon at the Yunhua Ceremony?"
"This trip was truly worthwhile... Although I'm still unsure of the exact evolutionary form of this flying mystical beast, this should be the perfect ending to the ceremony."
"Yeah, what a surprise—"
"Wait, it's not over yet! Look what that is!"
Suddenly, another powerful wave spread across the valley, and a flash of light shot up into the sky, like an arrow breaking through the air, suddenly tearing the entire sky apart!
The sky was divided into two distinct sides. One side was shining brightly, warm and holy. The light formed a curtain, and everyone who was illuminated by it felt their body lighten.
Joy, relaxation, comfort, satisfaction... A wonderful mood filled his chest, and even Chen Sheng, who was full of resentment and complaining with a pout, couldn't help but smile.
On the other side, it was a darker black than before.
It was thick and turbid, like flowing ink, or like the gloomy clouds when a thunderstorm is about to come. All the starlight was completely obscured, and the sky seemed like a huge black hole, silently swallowing everything.
The people shrouded in darkness couldn't help but shiver.
At that moment, their heads were dizzy, countless angry and painful things emerged in their hearts, and they were frowning and uneasy.
“…Wow, why, I’m so sad!”
“Me too…”
Some of the weaker beastmasters covered their faces and burst into tears. They couldn't explain why they were crying, but they just felt uncomfortable, with a stuffy pain in their chests.
The flying mystical beasts were startled, the timid ones nearly crashing into the snowy peaks. The other mystical beasts also suddenly became serious, baring their fangs—they were more sensitive to danger and could clearly sense the fluctuations coming from the sky at this moment, making their hearts beat like drums and their hair stand on end!
This new phenomenon was even stranger and more powerful, making them shudder!
…
The center of the Yunhua Ceremony.
Xia Muqing looked up at the little caterpillar that had finally emerged from its cocoon in the sky and shouted happily, "Xiao Zi!"
"Aiya!"
The cocoon split open, and a pair of wrinkled butterfly wings stretched out, quickly unfurling into a beautiful fan shape in the wind. The breeze blew up the floral fragrance in the air, and the silver veins on the butterfly's body also lingered with mysterious energy, shining brightly.
The butterfly danced in the air for a few circles and landed lightly on Xia Muqing's fingertips, flapping its thin wings and stirring up a light breeze.
Xia Muqing held it in her hands: "Xiao Zi... That's great, you're finally okay!"
The little caterpillar successfully woke up, emerged from its cocoon and became a butterfly, and did not evolve into the ghost butterfly that had lost its mind last time. This was enough to make Xia Muqing ecstatic.
And when she discovered that the little caterpillar's evolved form was the very rare Yin-Yang butterfly, this unexpected surprise made her even more excited.
The Yin-Yang butterfly was obviously very happy as well. It held her fingers and flapped its wings affectionately: "Eeyah, eyah!"
It receives all the warmth, joy and protective energy transmitted by its owner.
In fact, it has stayed in the gray cocoon for so long that it has accumulated enough energy for evolution and is ready to break out of the cocoon!
However, the energy from the Phantom Rhino never dissipated, and the evil thoughts would come back at any time, trying to seize control of the body, so it kept enduring until the two energies were completely balanced, and then it chose to evolve.
"Aiya!"
Fortunately, the evolution process hadn't encountered any unexpected problems. The magnetic field in this valley was strong, providing it with ample profound energy, allowing it to successfully absorb both energies and evolve successfully!
Listening to Liang Yi Butterfly's non-stop chatter, Xia Muqing smiled happily: "Okay, Xiao Zi, as long as you succeed. Quickly collect your energy and don't affect others."
Especially the part from the Nether Rhino. Even though it had been absorbed and digested by Xiao Zi, it still carried some evil energy when used. When the shadow appeared above the sky, the power of the little caterpillar was also amplified by the magnetic field of the valley and acted on the surroundings. Xia Muqing was really a little worried.
The Yin-Yang Butterfly waved its tentacles a few times obediently, trying to take the energy back into its body.
Xu Ling came over, with the newly evolved Night Kingbird perched on his shoulder. "Wow, Xiao Zi's wings are so beautiful after evolving, and the pattern is so mysterious."
The gauzy wings were now covered in silver streaks, changing with Xiao Zi's mood, sometimes resembling blossoming flowers, sometimes like delicate silver bells. Each pattern corresponded to a specific emotional energy, and if Xiao Zi wished, she could sprinkle them with butterfly dust at any time.
Xia Muqing looked at the constantly changing silver patterns on the butterfly wings and suddenly remembered something. She quickly took out the Xingyi Pearl from her pocket and said, "Xiao Zi, this!"
After the little caterpillar made a cocoon, Xia Muqing kept the Xingyi beads close to her body. Now that Xiao Zi had broken out of the cocoon, she could tie the beads that Xiao Zi liked back on the butterfly as soon as possible.
The Xingyi Pearl, lacking energy, hadn't glowed for a long time, its color turning gray. The Yin-Yang Butterfly rolled up the small bead with its antennae and happily held it above its head as usual, muttering, "Ya-ya-ya!"
The inside of the bead was infused with joyful emotional energy, and it began to flash like a bright neon light. The warm orange-red light reflected on Xia Muqing and Xu Ling's cheeks, giving everyone a warm halo.
The little koi fish also came over and looked at the Yin-Yang butterfly curiously: "Gulu?"
Oh, the little fool is not stupid anymore!
But Master, the little fool has already woken up, but there's still no movement from Big Brother. What's going on? Is the Yunhua Ceremony not working well?
Hearing Koi Fish mention the Gale Dog, Liangyi Butterfly was stunned for a moment, its tentacles drooped in frustration, and the color of its Xingyi Pearl turned into a melancholy dark blue.
“…Ah, ah!”
Sorry, master, it’s all his fault!
If it had not acted rashly that day and absorbed the remaining energy of the Phantom Rhino, it would not have evolved uncontrollably into a Ghost Butterfly, not only losing control of its own actions, but also hurting its master and Brother Xiaofeng.
Xia Muqing: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Zi, you didn't mean it. When Xiao Feng wakes up and sees your normal evolved form, he will definitely be very happy."
She lowered her head slightly and touched the soft back of the Swifthound. Her slender fingers gently smoothed the fur that was messed up by the wind, and pinched its warm little paws.
"Xiaofeng, it's time for you to wake up. Xiaojin, Xiaozi and I are all waiting for you."
Xia Muqing murmured softly, her voice made extremely faint by the wind.
But under her palm, the unconscious Swift Dog twitched its ears, as if it heard her silent murmur.
As the Yunhua Ceremony drew to a close, the energy between heaven and earth grew increasingly dense, gradually reaching a point of near-liquidity. Mist filled the valley, and the wind grew stronger, sweeping away countless blades of grass and whistling them skyward.
