Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 278 Metamorphosis, the Devouring Demon Python!
Its only drawback is that it doesn't have much defensive capability.

Then, Gu Yuan released the large mouth from the spirit beast pouch inside the cave.

Hiss - hiss -

As soon as the giant mouth appeared, it became extremely excited upon seeing Gu Yuan. It flicked its tongue, circled Gu Yuan several times with its massive body, and even rubbed its cold body against Gu Yuan's legs.

At this point, Big Mouth had matured and its appearance had changed drastically.

It can be over twenty meters long and as thick as a thigh. Its entire body is covered with fine, dark golden scales that shimmer with a deep and mysterious luster, exuding a cold and dangerous aura.

This body proportion looks a bit strange, but Gu Yuan thinks it's normal.

Because the Devouring Serpent is a slender, unusual snake species.

"What, are you getting impatient now?"

Gu Yuan smiled and gently stroked the snake's head, offering a reassuring remark.

Then, he casually opened the attribute panel:

【Daoyun】：350800
……

Gu Yuan has now tamed seven spirit pets.

These spirit pets are all exceptionally capable and possess enormous potential.

The most outstanding among them is the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly, followed by the Purple Heaven Thunder Spider, and then the Silver-backed Centipede.

All three are gold-grade spirit pets, and their strength is considerable. They have repeatedly helped Gu Yuan and eliminated many enemies.

And now, his other pet, Big Mouth, can finally transform and upgrade.

It's just unknown what kind of talent the Devouring Serpent will gain after it advances to the Devouring Heavenly Python.

……

[Consume 8200 Dao Points to evolve the Devouring Serpent into the Devouring Heaven Python. Confirm/Reject?]

Gu Yuan gently stroked Da Zui's head, thinking to himself, "Confirmed!"

As soon as Gu Yuan finished speaking, the 350800 on the attribute panel changed to 342600.

At the same time, an extremely dense white light gradually emerged from the surface of Big Mouth's body.

The pure and rich white light, brimming with vitality, enveloped the large mouth and began to seep into its body in wisps.

hiss... hiss...

Its large mouth rolled around as if in extreme pain, emitting strange hissing sounds.

Its cries were shrill and piercing, clearly more painful than during its last metamorphosis.

Its enormous body rolled and twisted on the ground, and all the fine, dark gold scales on its body stood up.

Gu Yuan was connected to Da Zui's mind and could sense that Da Zui was suffering from unspeakable pain, pain that originated from his bone marrow, from the depths of his bloodline, and even from his soul.

Gu Yuan could see that beneath the scales of the giant mouth, the snake's skin was beginning to crack, revealing wounds of varying depths. Strands of blood were already seeping out, soon staining its entire body red, and quickly forming a large pool of blood on the ground, a horrifying sight.

Now, Gu Yuan is a bit further away from Da Zui, but he doesn't rashly interfere, nor does he need to.

Because this was originally a great opportunity for Da Zui, a transformation and sublimation, but also a calamity!
Once you get through it, you will naturally succeed in your transformation; if you fail to transform, you will die and your spiritual path will be extinguished!
This is normal, this is fair.

After all, nothing in this world is perfect.

Gu Yuan suddenly realized that even with the spirit pet system, he was not omnipotent in taming spirit pets.

His spirit pet system can continuously help him tame various spirit pets, and can also allow spirit pets to undergo transformation and sublimation by consuming Dao points, breaking through the shackles of racial bloodline and becoming a more advanced new species.

It can also give Gu Yuan the talent of a spirit pet.

One or two talents are fine, but once various talents accumulate and are combined, no one knows what kind of transformation Gu Yuan will undergo and what achievements he will make.

However, even with the system's assistance, the transformation of a spirit pet has a high probability of success, but it can also lead to failure!
When Ah Wu was still an Ironback Centipede, upgrading to a Silverback Centipede was quite difficult, but he eventually succeeded.

But this time, Big Mouth's transformation was clearly somewhat risky.

Gu Yuan waited silently, watching as most of the scales on Big Mouth's body fell off, leaving it a bloody mess, and the movements grew weaker and weaker. His heart sank.

Fortunately, the dense white light was still continuously seeping into its body. Although the big mouth was somewhat exhausted, it was still struggling and enduring some terrible pain.

More than half an hour later, Big Mouth stopped and lay motionless on the ground, its fate unknown. A tattered snakeskin had also been peeled off, covered with dark red bloodstains.

The strange white light was no longer present on it.

"Oh no, did we fail?"

Sensing the faint aura emanating from Da Zui, Gu Yuan's heart sank. Without a second thought, he hurriedly approached Da Zui, waved his hand, and a stream of pure and clear Taiyuan True Water appeared, turning into specks of mist that seeped into Da Zui's body.

The Taiyuan True Water he condensed has nourishing and healing effects, which is perfect for helping Da Zui recover some of his strength.

Visibly, the wounds on Big Mouth's body began to heal. Those deep wounds that exposed bone began to heal, scab over, and the blood dried up.

However, the big mouth remained completely still.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan sensed that the once dying Big Mouth now had a significant increase in vitality, and as time went on, this vitality became more and more vigorous, causing Big Mouth to begin to recover.

Not long after, Big Mouth moved.

Click!Click!
The scabs on its body surface cracked open, turning into pieces of dark reddish-brown material that fell to the ground.

At the same time, the dark scales beneath the scabs were revealed.

Ok?
Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes and immediately noticed the anomaly.

At this moment, Big Mouth's body shape seemed to have not changed much, except that it had become more slender, but the scales all over its body had turned black.

Moreover, it wasn't just ordinary black; it was a hazy, indistinct black, as if shrouded in mist, carrying an air of mystery and making it impossible to discern its true nature.

Even when light shone on it, it remained dark, reflecting very little light; it seemed to devour even the light itself.
