Chapter 158 feels like a bottomless pit.



The audience is unaware of what exactly happened in between, as the details have been covered up by the relevant authorities.

The only things exposed to the public were that the person in charge was sentenced to life imprisonment, exiled to the Twelve Domains of Black Star to work as a miner until his death, and the news that the Moonlight Dragon, after completing its final evolution and gaining human form, chose to end its own life on the very first day it became human.

The Moon Dragon that had completed its evolution could have lived and entered the society of intelligent life to start a new life. However, due to the selfishness of the person in charge and the inaction of the staff, it experienced endless loneliness and alienation, which led to very, very, very serious psychological problems.

Then, after the staff appeared in front of him and told him the truth, he completely broke down and embarked on a path of self-destruction.

Since the Moon Dragon incident, the Central Authority has introduced stricter and more standardized laws, prohibiting any organization or individual from profiting by destroying the interests and rights of semi-evolved beings.

Once discovered, they will not be let off lightly.

Welcome to the Twelve Realms of Black Star.

However, it is extremely difficult for primitive, unenlightened organisms to become evolved organisms, and even more difficult to complete the final evolution into intelligent life.

Throughout history, the number of primitive, unenlightened creatures that have truly evolved into intelligent beings is extremely limited.

Therefore, after explaining the Moonlight Dragon incident, the audience sincerely urged Sang Ning and his companions—

Regardless of whether this Crescent Bear has officially entered a semi-evolved state, or whether it can ultimately complete its full evolution into an intelligent life form, Sanning, Emmanuel, and Elliott, I sincerely request that you give this Crescent Bear a chance and observe it for a period of time.

If this crescent bear has indeed entered a semi-evolved state, spending more time with it will help it gain a more direct and clear understanding of its uniqueness, rather than discovering its difference and incompatibility with the world in the mountains, which could lead to serious psychological problems.

Sang Ning and the others, "..."

The three looked at each other, then fell silent as they stared at Crescent Bear, who thought he was being quiet and was indeed quiet, but whose large size and glossy, satin-like fur made him too conspicuous.

Realizing it had been discovered, the crescent bear paused, its raised foot hovering in mid-air. Its pair of dark, pearly eyes, though seemingly harmless, stared at them for a long time. Whether it was to confirm their harmlessness or for some other reason, the bear swaggered over and, quite familiarly, plopped down between Sanning and Emmanuel, reaching out its large paws to scoop up dried fish and small crabs and stuff them into its mouth.

They ate it with gusto, crunching away happily.

While eating, she kept passing food to Sang Ning, gesturing for her to eat as well.

Sanning, "···"

Sang Ning looked at the small crab that was handed to him, then looked at Elliott, whose lips twitched as he nodded.

Looking at Emmanuel again, Emmanuel, who had been pushed aside by Crescent Bear, nodded helplessly, "You decide what to do."

Sang Ning sighed and said to the audience who were explaining the Moonlight Dragon incident, "As long as it is willing to come with us, we are willing to take it with us."

Such a friendly bear, completely without any sense of caution, in the mountains...

Actually, there's not much danger involved.

The saying "one pig, two bears, three tigers" is no joke. Bears are not bad fighters; on the contrary, there are very few creatures in nature that can defeat bears.

Even if this crescent bear doesn't go with them, it can live a comfortable life with its size and fighting ability.

However, the semi-evolved state is a troublesome matter; the physical changes are nothing compared to the changes in the mind and thinking.

Thought and mind are of utmost importance.

However, Sang Ning couldn't guarantee that a bear with basic intelligence would willingly go with them, so she didn't make any promises lightly and instead emphasized the word "willing."

The audience naturally understood this principle and responded accordingly—

That's enough. If it wants to come with you, then take it; if not, you don't need to force it.

"Don't worry, we won't force you!"

They didn't dare to force it. Putting aside its combat power, just considering its protection level, it was something they couldn't force or demand.

So, this topic has come to an end, but the real problems have only just begun.

Watching Crescent Bear devour all the dried fish and crabs with a crunching sound, and then, still looking insatiable, licking the leaves that held the dried fish and crabs, Sang Ning covered her cheek and said with a pained expression, "I feel like it's not picky about food, it eats everything, and it's an even bigger bottomless pit than a glutton."

Emmanuel looked at her with pity. "It's a protected animal, and you even suspect it's entered a semi-evolved state. Just bear with it."

When you can't hit him or scold him, you can't think of any other good way to deal with him except to put up with it.

Elliott, being more compassionate, knew what Sunning was worried about, and upon hearing this, promised, "Don't worry, if you really come with us, I'll cook for you from now on, and we'll also bring Clyde along."

Having learned from the audience that Sang Ning and his group had encountered the Crescent Bear again and that the Crescent Bear had entered a semi-evolved state, Clyde and his group rushed into the live stream. Clyde, who happened to hear Elliot's words, had a blank expression.

For the first time, the slightly naive smile disappeared from his handsome face, and he said with trembling hands—

I'm so grateful to you for standing up for me.

Elliott chuckled. "You're going to refuse?"

Clyde wanted to, but he didn't dare.

He said again, looking aggrieved—

I don't want to be sentenced to mine in the Twelfth Region of Black Star, spending my entire life either on my way to mine or already inside a mine. The thought of that is terrifying.

Sang Ning laughed, "If you thought it wasn't scary, would you have refused?"

Clyde said no, he understood what it meant to go from semi-evolution to final evolution and then to complete evolution.

Don't say anything more, I'll help with the cooking.

So, even before she was sure whether Crescent Bear would come with her, Sang Ning managed to find two long-term farmhands who offered themselves up.

Good.

Her stress level dropped significantly, and she felt confident that she could feed the bear.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Crescent Bear, having finished licking the leaves, stood up and, under the watchful eyes of Sang Ning and the others, went to the riverbank to start catching small fish and crabs.

Thinking it wanted to leave, Sang Ning and his companions were surprised to find it busily catching small fish and crabs. After a brief moment of stunned silence, their confidence in the crescent bear's semi-evolved state grew even stronger.

Ten minutes later, Crescent Bear, who was incredibly agile at catching honey and small crabs but not at all at catching fish, came to Sang Ning with a bunch of small crabs and handed them to her all at once.

The little crab even knew to wrap itself in leaves, just like the ones Sang Ning had given it before.

---Aside---
