Chapter 24
Cheng Zizhuo was a little anxious and whispered, "Why are you joining in the fun? Go back!"
Xia Muqing glanced at him, her lips moving slightly. "Stop pretending. Your mystical beasts are all badly injured. If they really fight the Nine-Section Crystal Scorpion, what good will it end like?"
Cheng Zizhuo: "...Can you tell?"
Xia Muqing thought to herself that of course she could see it, because she had an encyclopedia in her head.
Although the mysterious beasts of You Kongque and Lie Yiqin looked intimidating, she could tell with certainty based on the fluctuations of the mysterious beasts' mysterious energy and some subtle clues that these mysterious beasts were in a weak state due to exhaustion. They were all strong on the outside but weak on the inside, just like the scary "Magpie Bridge Fairy".
Cheng Zizhuo didn't want to live at all. He just wanted to use the power of these three mysterious beasts to find a momentary opportunity to let the colorful cloud and blue bird send her away.
Although Xia Muqing had nothing to do with this matter, she couldn't just watch Cheng Zizhuo die.
And at this moment, she really has something that can break the deadlock.
Xia Muqing fumbled in her backpack for a moment and took out a purple round bead.
It was the poison-drinking flower stone that she obtained from Zhu Ning's cultivation.
"This thing is for you. It perfectly matches your poison attribute and is even more effective than the Purple Gold Tears."
Xia Muqing threw the poison-drinking flower stone over and said loudly, "You can try it now. If there is no problem, you can let us go."
The nine-section crystal scorpion raised its giant claws and firmly clamped the purple pebble.
Its eyes rolled around, and it was obviously a little suspicious, but the faint fluctuations of mysterious power coming from the round stone made its heart surge, and its mysterious power kept circulating.
This poisonous flower stone is extremely poisonous to other mysterious beasts, but it is a great tonic to poison-attribute mysterious beasts.
The Nine-Sectioned Crystal Scorpion made up its mind and stuffed the poison-drinking flower stone into its mouth, chewing it to pieces with a "crunch, crunch" sound. In an instant, a violent wave of profound energy enveloped it, and a faint colorful pattern appeared on the nine sections of its body at the tail sting, flashing continuously.
Strange vibrations spread through the forest, and a howling gale gradually gathered in the air. Ten seconds later, the Nine-segmented Crystal Scorpion suddenly raised its giant claws and let out a sharp scream into the wind!
"hiss!"
A purple mist shot out from it, rushed up to the clouds, and turned into a purple haze all over the sky. The mist was far away in the clouds, and it was shimmering with a magnificent halo. It was both beautiful and exuded an indescribable evil spirit.
The other mysterious beasts all lowered their heads and bowed their heads.
Xia Muqing and Cheng Zizhuo breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
The poisonous flower stone is effective against the Nine-section Crystal Scorpion, so their crisis is basically resolved.
Cheng Zizhuo put away the other mysterious beasts, and while the Nine-section Crystal Scorpion was still immersed in the joy of recovering from its injuries, he quietly grabbed Xia Muqing's hand and tried to slip away.
But as soon as they moved, the nine-segment crystal scorpion immediately turned its head and stared at them with its round eyes.
Cheng Zizhuo shuddered: "Why, your injury has healed, but you still won't let us go?"
The Nine-segmented Crystal Scorpion glanced at him with disdain and waved its pincers at Xia Muqing: "Hiss, hiss."
Then it turned sideways and pointed towards the forest in the west.
Xia Muqing didn't understand what was going on, but the little hurricane dog jumped up excitedly and nudged Xia Muqing's arm with its head.
“Ouch!”
The Nine-section Crystal Scorpion was saying thank you to her!
And to express gratitude, the Nine-Section Crystal Scorpion also pointed out that there is a wind valley in the western mountains and forests, which gathers the power of heaven and earth and is the most suitable place for the Gale Dog to evolve.
There are still a lot of wind crystals over there. If you are lucky, you can even find wind spirit crystal beads!
Xia Muqing: “……!”
Xia Muqing was surprised and happy. She quickly hugged the Gale Dog and thanked the Nine-Section Crystal Scorpion.
The Nine-Section Crystal Scorpion waved its pincers again, and a striped tiger immediately walked out from the group of mysterious beasts and crouched in front of Xia Muqing.
This is to send the Buddha to the west, and take Xia Muqing directly to the destination.
Xia Muqing happily climbed onto the tiger's back, and the little hurricane dog and the koi fish also jumped on. Cheng Zizhuo was jealous and wanted to move forward, but the nine-section crystal scorpion suddenly let out a hissing cry.
The meaning was very clear. Cheng Zizhuo was not allowed to be carried and was asked to walk over by himself.
Cheng Zizhuo: “…”
What a stingy scorpion!
"Forget it, forget it. Luckily I have Caiyun Qingniao."
…
"I feel that most mysterious beasts have very simple minds."
On the way there, Xia Muqing rode on the striped tiger's back, squinted her eyes comfortably in the breeze, and raised her hand to tuck her messed hair behind her ears.
"Just like that nine-segmented crystal scorpion just now. We helped it, and it immediately returned the favor. How wonderful!"
Cheng Zizhuo sat on the back of Caiyun Qingniao and muttered, "What good is it? It almost stopped me from following."
Xia Muqing smiled.
"Who told you to take someone else's Purple Gold Tears?"
A crisis was resolved, and Xia Muqing also got guidance from the Nine-Section Crystal Scorpion and found the best place for the Gale Hound to evolve. She had the best of both worlds and felt extremely happy.
Moreover, the striped tiger is also a powerful mysterious beast. With its protection, Xia Muqing does not have to worry about danger in the dense forest even when night falls.
Soon, they arrived at Wind Valley.
This place is just like its name, with wild wind blowing all the time, like a loud whistle, circling and weaving among the rocks, and like an angry whip, lashing everything around without stopping.
The trees in the Wind Valley have no leaves, only bare trunks, and the stone walls are extremely smooth. The dust on the surface has long been blown away by the wind, and has become as smooth as a bronze mirror through day-to-day polishing.
The night was shrouded in darkness, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. A ray of moonlight shone down overhead, illuminating the entire Wind Valley like snow.
There were many crystals scattered on the ground, which looked like broken silver under the moonlight, shining brightly.
"That's the Wind Crystal Stone." Cheng Zizhuo said, "Let's look for it together to see if there is a Wind Spirit Crystal Pearl."
"There should be. There are so many wind crystals here, which means it has not been explored by humans. The probability of us finding the wind spirit crystal beads is very high."
The two of them searched the Wind Valley, and several mysterious beasts also joined in the search. After searching for about an hour, the little koi suddenly cried out "Gugu Gugu" and lifted a pearl the size of a longan with its tail.
The little hurricane dog quickly ran over, sensing the powerful energy inside that was very compatible with it, and couldn't help swallowing hard.
But even so, it still looked at Xia Muqing, waiting for instructions from its own beastmaster.
Xia Muqing opened her backpack and poured out all the evolution materials inside. She said with a smile, "Xiaofeng, there's no need to wait. Evolve now."
The little hurricane dog finally swallowed the Wind Spirit Crystal Pearl and ate several other evolutionary materials. Then, as if drunk, it staggered around in circles, growling non-stop.
After all, it was the first time that Xia Muqing witnessed the evolution of a mysterious beast, so she was a little worried.
She was about to go forward to check, but Cheng Zizhuo suddenly pulled her back: "Don't go over there, don't disturb it."
He pointed upward.
Xia Muqing looked up, surprised to find a vast expanse of azure currents gathering above the little hurricane dog. They swirled rapidly with the whistling wind, like the roar of a god from the heavens, rumbling like thunder in the narrow valley.
"What a powerful aura," Cheng Zizhuo was slightly surprised, "Is your Gale Dog also this powerful?"
This is almost as much as the contracted mystical beasts of some college students.
No, Swift Dog?
A scene from a few months ago suddenly flashed through Cheng Zizhuo's mind. He recalled his casual conversation with Uncle Zhong and suddenly realized, "You defeated the Gale Dog, the cub of the divine beast. You are the first in the subject examination in S City this year?"
Xia Muqing turned around in surprise: "You know?"
Cheng Zizhuo pursed his lips, and the corners of his mouth rose: "Well, I suddenly remembered that I had heard of you from the elders before."
"He said you are very strong, ridiculously strong..."
As he spoke, Cheng Zizhuo looked up at the raging wind and the hurricane-force wind, and the hurricane-force wind dog rising higher and higher in the wind. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "I think he still underestimated you."
In the strong wind, Xia Muqing smiled slightly.
At this moment, a long and excited howl came from not far away: "Awoo——!"
The violent wind was suddenly torn apart, and in the azure air all over the sky, a white fierce dog howled towards the sky, with waves of energy all around it!
Little Gale Dog, first level evolution successful!
…
The evolved Gale Hound's attributes have changed greatly compared to before.
At this moment, on the panel in Xia Muqing's mind, the stats of the Gale Dog are:
[Type: Wind Beast]
【Quality: Excellent】
[Trait: Danger Prediction]
[Compatibility: 100 points]
[Five-dimensional attributes: Attack (80 points), Defense (80 points), Speed (97 points), Endurance (90 points), Spirit (97 points)]
The speed and mental distance are at full value, which is very close.
This was reflected in the Gale Hound, where its reaction and speed were more than doubled compared to before. It rushed to Xia Muqing in the blink of an eye. Its speed was so fast that it could not be seen by the naked eye. It was comparable to the teleportation of the Cloud Beast.
The same is true for appearance. After evolving, the ordinary Gale Dog is only half a meter long, but after Xiaofeng evolves, its body length exceeds one meter, and a small pointed horn grows on its forehead, with azure wind and cloud patterns appearing on it.
As it ran towards Xia Muqing, its feet were stepping on the green mysterious current, as if it was stepping on the strong wind.
Skill: Step on the Moon!
At the moment of evolution completion, Xiaofeng naturally learned advanced skills that other mysterious beasts might not be able to master even after practicing hard for a long time.
From today on, it can also use the wind to run and move in the air, and will no longer be afraid of any flying beasts.
Xiaofeng was very happy that his evolution was successful, and he snuggled into Xia Muqing's arms and rubbed against her.
It was only the size of a palm before, and Xia Muqing could hold it with one hand, but now when she held it, she held it full in her arms.
Cheng Zizhuo watched with envy from the side and couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't a hurricane dog evolve into a rabid dog? Why is your hurricane dog's evolution different from other hurricane dogs I've seen?"
Xia Muqing thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed different. Just think of it as a new evolutionary path I discovered."
"It doesn't have the sharp attack skills of the Berserker, but it possesses wind and spiritual attributes. I named it Wind Luo Beast."
Cheng Zizhuo: “???”
How could Xia Muqing mention such a major event that could shock the entire beast taming world as "discovering a new evolutionary route" so casually?
