Chapter 63 - 63: The Beginning of Evolution (Seeking more readings!)
The distance of five hundred meters isn’t far but isn’t really close either.
At least that’s the case for David Jones and Rainbow now, as they can now cover this distance in just a short 10 seconds or so.
At this time, David, who had landed safely, looked at the wide, dark cavern in front of him and nodded satisfactorily.
After all, finding a suitable cave for evolution in such a short time in the wilderness was no easy task for Rainbow!
Recalling Charlie Heavenlee’s previous statement that there were no aggressive beasts within a kilometer of the top of Mount Heaven, David cautiously looked at Rainbow.
“Are there any other beasts nearby?”
Rainbow’s eyes brightened slightly, and the deep blue pupils in her eyes grew deeper and ultimately seemed to emit a faint azure glow.
“Yiya!”( ” //) (Nope, not a single one!)
David breathed a sigh of relief.
He wouldn’t completely trust the words of others, so a safety check was necessary before Rainbow’s evolution.
“What about the Trainer we just met? Did he follow us?”
“Yiya!” (—V—
)~* (He’s cultivating in the house.)David grinned. He knew that they couldn’t avoid Charlie Heavenlee’s attention here, but David didn’t care. This would add another layer of insurance for Rainbow’s evolution.
Even if Rainbow successfully evolved, it would be impossible to hide from the Guild, so he didn’t mean to keep it a secret at all.
After all, Charlie Heavenlee said that as long as he stayed within a few hundred meters around the top of the mountain, his safety would be guaranteed.
David only needed to ensure that his Dragon Crystal was not exposed.
In addition, considering Rainbow’s current level of Confusion cultivation, Charlie Heavenlee might not be able to spy on them even if he wanted to, and he had no reason to do so!
At this time, a confident David had no idea that deep beneath his feet, a pair of bright green eyes were curiously watching David and Rainbow.
Perhaps it happened when David first entered the dungeon, or maybe during the Dog-headed Ape’s nest raid. This figure, which had appeared before, seemed to be following David all along, never leaving.
“How are you feeling? Are you ready?” David said with a grin, knowing that he had worked hard for today’s evolution!
“Yiya!”(o°V‘)o (Yes, I’m ready!)
Rainbow looked at David with anticipation.
David took out the Dragon Scale from the Star Ring and suddenly had a bright idea.
Wait, it seems that today’s Strengthening hasn’t been done yet!
The evolution was significant, and every bit of success rate counted!
“Should we do today’s Strengthening now?” Although David asked, he had already made up his mind.
Rainbow’s eyes suddenly lit up. Was this a tempting treat before a luxurious feast?
She quickly nodded with excitement.
Seeing this, David gently patted Rainbow’s head. He knew this would be the result, and then, with a thought, he used Dragon-Wielding.
“I really want that too!”
The pair of green eyes deep underground blinked curiously, and they were fixed on David’s right hand that was now invoking Dragon-Wielding power.
It stayed in this position for a long time, then looked again at Rainbow who was next to David, her face full of contentment. The tiny eyes were filled with envy, and even showed a hint of jealousy at the end.
“What’s going on?”
After completing four rounds of strengthening, David Jones looked down at his hands and could clearly feel that he still had more than half of his energy left.
Perhaps, the biggest benefit he gained from Rainbow’s evolution was not the increase in his own Arcane Star cultivation progress, but rather the significant increase in the number of times he could use Dragon Force to strengthen himself.
David thought about it and took out the Magic Core he had been painstakingly focusing on improving over the past year from his Star Ring.
“I want that too!”
Those pair of green eyes hiding deep underground stared intently at the dazzling red crystal in David’s hand, revealing a faint sense of desire.
Five minutes later, David sat exhausted on the ground, but a sense of excitement was etched on his tired face.
His Dragon Force enhancement times had unexpectedly jumped from five to nine, meaning he could maintain strengthening for up to nine minutes. This was an epic improvement for David.
A moment later, David, who had recovered under Rainbow’s worried gaze, took out four Primary Dragon Crystals from his Star Ring and placed them above the Dragon Scale.
In order to increase the success rate of this evolution, he had also purchased the basic route map for Coldjade Snake’s evolution into Coldjade Python from the Pet Resources shop in advance.
David bought the most basic route map, which cost him 300,000 Star Coins.
How basic was this route map?
It only listed the resources needed for evolution, while mentioning nothing about the amount of Pet Resources, the evolution steps, or any precautions.
There were also regular, detailed, advanced, and supreme route maps above this basic version…
After learning the price of the later versions, David predictably chose the basic version since he never intended to evolve Rainbow into a Cold jade Python anyway.
He just wanted to learn from the route map what Pet Resources would have the greatest efficiency in increasing the bloodline of the Coldjade Snake.
David drank a bottle of Vitality Powder from his Star Ring and felt his energy gradually recover.
He then took out the basic Pet Resources listed on the route map from his Star Ring one by one, placing them on the Dragon Scale, and finally brought out two jade boxes.
One contained Ice Herbs, while the other contained a Class IV Elite Ice Scorpion Magic Core.
He carefully opened both boxes, took out the resources, and placed them atop the Dragon Crystals.
David’s approach was simple and brute – he stacked a pile of resources that could increase bloodline strength and evolution probability on Rainbow, hoping for it to succeed in one try.
If a researcher specializing in pet evolution saw this, they might comment with heartfelt regret, “Are you evolving your pet or feeding a pig?”
Looking at the pile of colorful resources in front of her, Rainbow couldn’t help but drool a little at the corners of her mouth.
At the same time, a figure in the depths of the earth also had its eyes shining as it stared at the pile, though it didn’t seem to have any intention of snatching it away, remaining in place.
“Let’s get started! You can do this!” David encouraged.
“Yiiya!” o( za ‘ )o (Of course!)
Rainbow proudly raised her head, determination flashing in her eyes.
Every pet had an innate evolutionary talent, and they could choose to activate the bloodline within their body to undergo a life transition.
With a thought, Rainbow voluntarily activated this talent.
The next second, after she had opened the bloodline shackles within her using her own thoughts, she could clearly feel her blood boiling, her muscles and bones trembling, and the Magic Core recently condensed in her mind shone brilliantly.
Enduring the severe pain in various parts of her body, she swallowed the resources in front of her in one gulp.
“Boom!”
A dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire cave.
PS: The evolution will be completed today, and I want to think about Rainbow’s evolved form. Thank you, Soul Falling Mortal, for tipping 500 RSK, thank you to Sad Lazy Cat for tipping 500 RSK, and thank you to Moon Three Nine for tipping 100 RSK.. Thank you for your votes, everyone!
