Chapter 2132: Chapter 259: Complete Evolution (Double-length) (3)
Afraid of bitterness yet unwilling to admit it, wonder who it was that spat out the Dead Spirit Grass the moment it went into their mouth, crying out how bitter it was.
"Xun Xun!"
Little Treasure Spirit pouted, looking at the ground covered with Dead Spirit Grass, steeled its heart, and stuffed handfuls into its mouth with its claws.
As it stuffed the grass in, it stubbornly shouted toward Qingbao:
"Xun Xun, blegh..."
See, it wasn’t afraid of bitterness...
Qingbao watched Little Treasure Spirit eating Dead Spirit Grass while feeling sick, with tears welling up in its eyes, and fell silent.
It seemed the grass was really bitter...
Qiao Sang couldn’t bear watching any longer, picked a few sweet tree fruits from those Little Treasure Spirit had previously taken out, handed them over, and said:
"Eat something sweet to quell the taste."
Little Treasure Spirit wanted to take them, but upon seeing Qingbao staring at it, it quickly retracted its extended claws, turned its head aside, and declared:
"Xun Xun!"
It’s not bitter! It doesn’t need to eat!
Qiao Sang: "..."
Qiao Sang glanced at Qingbao, realizing something, and said:
"I’m not trying to suppress the bitter taste; the Dead Spirit Grass is somewhat hard to eat. You can eat it with these tree fruits; it’ll be easier to swallow."
Little Treasure Spirit sneakily peeped at Qingbao, seeing that Qingbao wasn’t mocking it anymore, held back the urge to immediately grab the tree fruit, showed an "alright then" expression, and took the tree fruit for a bite.
The sweet taste surged into its mouth, and Little Treasure Spirit could no longer hold back, hugging the tree fruit and gnawing it clean in a few bites.
In the subsequent time, Little Treasure Spirit ate a bite of Dead Spirit Grass and a tree fruit, a bite of Dead Spirit Grass and a tree fruit...
Its expression was painful, occasionally gagging a couple of times.
Night Ring King, though usually playful, has a willpower far exceeding that of other pet beasts in certain things... Mikaela looked at Little Treasure Spirit, reflecting inwardly.
Time passed slowly.
Unbeknownst to them, two days had passed.
Gangbao swallowed the last Hundred Wind Fruit, burped, and exclaimed:
"Steel Chief."
It’s finished.
Qiao Sang observed Gangbao and said:
"It seems that even so many Hundred Wind Fruits aren’t enough to let you fully evolve; I’ll go ask Yinpan Spirit for more."
Mikaela, who was meditating, opened her eyes and said: "No need, the Sound Master Bird has already delivered the Hundred Wind Fruits."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang sensed something and looked up.
A large group of Sound Master Birds flew over, carrying more Hundred Wind Fruits.
Qiao Sang laughed: "Seems that being monitored by Sound Master Birds these past two days has its benefits; saves me a trip."
She had sensed, in these last couple of days, that wherever she went, there were one or more Sound Master Birds keeping watch.
Very soon, after depositing the Hundred Wind Fruits, the Sound Master Birds flapped their wings and left.
Gangbao devoured one Hundred Wind Fruit at a time and continued eating.
Not far away, Little Treasure Spirit appeared nauseous, similarly absorbing the Dead Spirit Grass.
Despite the energy increase within after absorption, it felt like eating a poison that dissipates energy, its complexion growing worse with every bite.
As time ticked by.
Another day passed, and suddenly Gangbao halted its Hundred Wind Fruit consumption and called out in its mind:
"Steel Chief."
I feel I’m about to evolve.
Qiao Sang quickly entered the Beast Taming Codex, flipped to the page about Gangbao.
[Name: Steel Chief Kane]
[Attribute: Steel, Flight]
[Level: King Level (9999995/10000000) +]
Only 5 points short... Qiao Sang felt a twinge, then thought of something, deciding not to immediately add the points but instead returned to reality, looking at Little Treasure Spirit, saying:
"Little Treasure Spirit, stop absorbing for now and bring out the Dull Skill Stone."
"Xun Xun..."
Little Treasure Spirit removed a ring, enlarged it, and numbly shoved its head inside.
Mikaela sensed something and asked: "Is Gangbao about to evolve?"
Qiao Sang nodded: "Just now Gangbao said it felt close to evolving."
Mikaela cautiously said: "We still need to measure the energy."
Actually, there’s no need to measure, since after consuming the Dull Skill Stone, Gangbao should directly evolve... Qiao Sang nodded: "Understood."
Even though the effect of consuming the Dull Skill Stone isn’t to increase energy, as a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, it will add some energy to pet beasts upon consumption, at least 5 points worth.
During their conversation, Little Treasure Spirit took out the Dull Skill Stone and placed it on the ground.
Gangbao looked at its Beast Tamer.
Qiao Sang nodded at it.
Gangbao turned its gaze to the Dull Skill Stone on the ground and opened its mouth.
Simultaneously, a massive fifty-meter dark giant shadow identical to Gangbao’s silhouette suddenly appeared, biting downward toward the Dull Skill Stone.
With a "crunch," the Dull Skill Stone was easily crushed.
Soon, the Dull Skill Stone was entirely swallowed by Gangbao.
Mikaela began to speak: "Now we can measure the energy..."
Her voice abruptly stopped.
In front of her, Gangbao was already glowing with a dazzling white light.
This time, it’s a complete evolution... Qiao Sang watched the white light in front, her heartbeat inevitably quickened for a moment.
