Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 175 Stumbling Block, Red Velvet Chicken Evolution

The area above the sacred spring is now in turmoil.

Little White and the others lay on the spiritual spring, but occasionally a loud boom would sound.

The little fox was full of energy, just like a crazy bomb fanatic. As soon as it finished resting, it immediately went to fuse bombs.

Lin Chen watched it fuse, and finally settled on the fusion of the Super Flame Bullet and the Blazing Storm at the Perfect Realm.

Looking at the little sun above the fox's head, which was now more than twice as big as before, Lin Chen took a deep breath.
How much more powerful will it be this time?
While deep in thought, the little fox simply tossed the demon fire nuclear bomb forward.

The next second, a blinding white light instantly tore through the dark sky.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball rapidly expanded on the ground, creating a heat wave around it.

The fireball expanded outward at an extremely fast speed, mercilessly engulfing everything in its path.

The trees instantly turned to ash under the intense heat, followed by a powerful shockwave that swept in at an extremely fast speed, overturning everything on the ground.

Finally, the mushroom cloud from the explosion shot into the sky, and judging from its size, it should be equivalent to a two-story building.

Lin Chen couldn't help but get excited when he saw this.

This power is truly astonishing.

"Let's try it later and see if we can fuse in True Fire mode," Lin Chen said expectantly.

The little fox nodded excitedly.

For it, the improvement of its strength is the primary driving force.

After resting, the little fox immediately began to fuse the True Fire Mode, but unfortunately, True Fire Mode was very difficult to achieve.

First, the True Fire mode consumes more beast power, the skill strength increases by a level, and the fusion difficulty is also higher.

The little fox tried several times, but failed each time.

"Don't rush," Lin Chen said finally. "Your move is quite powerful. Once you level up, fusing the True Fire Nuclear Bomb won't be a problem."

The little fox nodded, happily showing its little teeth.

However, the polar bear's feelings grew stronger and stronger.
I really want to form a contract with Lin Chen right now!
How long has it been? The little fox has become so fierce!

As time went by, the polar bear had long since integrated into the family, and it was very happy to see the little fox getting stronger.

But it also desperately wants to become stronger and contribute something to this family!
The little fox's breakthrough was an encouraging thing for them.

They will then cultivate even more diligently, but the Devouring Beasts will still consume the spiritual energy of the Spirit Spring.

"It's alright, just absorb it." Lin Chen also checked on the Devouring Beast's condition, hoping it might become stronger.

Unfortunately, the Devouring Beast was still the same Devouring Beast, with no change in appearance or strength.

The little insect king was making rapid progress in strength. It seemed to have mastered the cultivation techniques of the insect race, and in the following month, it directly reached level 10.

The level 10 and above Insect King is about to start breeding insects.

Lin Chen sighed after reading it. The little insect king and these spirit beasts had a good relationship now, but they were destined to be separated after they left.

The Little Insect King's origins destined it to be lonely for the rest of its life, with only its clansmen by its side.

This month, neither of Lin Chen's two spirit beasts broke through; the ones that leveled up the fastest were the Devouring Beast and the Little Insect King.

Lin Chen wasn't in a hurry. There were still about three months before the spiritual spring closed, so there was plenty of time.

In the blink of an eye, another month of preparation has passed.

Lin Chen asked the Devouring Beast if it had any news about Bai Ling.

The Devouring Beast and the White Spirit have a telepathic connection; as long as they are in the same space, they can sense each other's arrival.

The Devouring Beast shook its head.

Lin Chen was surprised. Two months had passed, and it seemed that the evolution was not yet complete.

"Tomorrow is the first again." Lin Chen checked the time and recalled the scene he had witnessed before.

If the moon is the same as before tomorrow, then that proves one thing.
The strange events here only occur on the night of the 1st.

Lin Chen waited quietly, his thoughts drifting into the distance.
There are actually gaps in the historical records of this world.

There are currently three recorded historical periods:
First, the primordial origin.

Second, the last years of the beginning.

Third, the first year of the Heavenly Beast.

According to records, at the very beginning of time, humans began to cultivate themselves, with the goal of attaining immortality.

However, there are no records of how humans began their spiritual practice.

This ability to cultivate oneself seems to be innate.

During that period, although there were monsters, their strength was far inferior to that of humans.

Often, a great demon that has been around for a thousand years can barely contend with a human who has cultivated for thirty years.

It can be said that it was the most glorious era for humankind.

Lin Chen has always believed that there is a gap in history before the primordial origin.

This is not just his opinion; many people on Earth share this view.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how humans embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation.

Unfortunately, even after two eras, humanity has ultimately been unable to fill this gap in history.

Even many unfounded speculations ultimately failed to yield any verifiable results.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen said to the Devouring Beast, "Go and sense it again tonight, and see if you can sense the high-level spiritual spring again."

"Cuck!"

The Devouring Beast nodded.

As night fell, Lin Chen stared at the sky, and sure enough, the giant bronze tree reappeared above the moon.

Upon closer inspection, the leaves of this giant bronze tree seem to be moving.
Lin Chen rubbed his eyes, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally looked at the Devouring Beast.

"Cuck!"

The Devouring Beast told Lin Chen that it had sensed the location of the spiritual spring.

Lin Chen thought about it and ultimately decided not to go.
Of course I'm curious.

But being afraid of death is also certain.

If Xiaobai were some kind of level 80 divine beast, Lin Chen would definitely explore it without even thinking about it.

Even if Qin Shao Shao were to accompany him, Lin Chen would not be afraid at all.

But now, this strange thing is something that a novice beast tamer like Lin Chen can't handle.

Given his insufficient strength, Lin Chen would not act rashly.

If you accidentally lose your life, then it's not worth it.

But you never know which will come first, an accident or tomorrow. Lin Chen suppressed his curiosity, but the strange thing came knocking on his door.
Suddenly, Lin Chen noticed that a lot of white mist was floating in the sky, obscuring the view of the area.

"No way." Lin Chen swallowed hard.

He remembered this white mist vividly; it was the same mist he had encountered last time.

"Brother, don't mess with me." Lin Chen stood up and looked around warily.

Before long, the white mist grew thicker. Lin Chen woke up Xiao Bai, who was meditating. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai mooed and pointed to the spiritual spring at its feet.

"Our spiritual spring has become level six?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Xiaobai nodded.

The Devouring Beast nodded, confirming this.

Lin Chen suddenly felt even more uneasy. Looking at the road ahead, which he couldn't see clearly at all, he knew that he had arrived at the end point he had reached last month.

"Fine, since I'm already here, I really didn't intend to provoke you this time."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen finally decided to test the waters.

Lin Chen told them all to get up. Although the level six spiritual spring was precious, it wouldn't have much effect if they only had it for one day.

So Lin Chen decided to go and explore it.

As they walked deeper into the fog, visibility worsened. Suddenly, the little fox shrieked, and Lin Chen and the other two beasts turned sharply, thinking they had encountered an enemy.

It was just a false alarm.

The little fox stepped on a bone and was startled.

Lin Chen walked over and glanced at the bones on the ground. They didn't look like human bones; they should be animal bones.

Lin Chen thought that this was the battlefield at the end of the Primordial Era, so it was normal to find animal bones here.

He tried to touch them with his "Bloodline Golden Touch" technique, but the bones were already dry and nothing could be found.

Lin Chen got up and continued forward.

The further you go, the more bones you'll find.

Lin Chen had a very bad feeling about this place.
Lin Chen vaguely felt that he had entered a space and era that did not belong to him.

He could only sense the spiritual energy here, but he couldn't cultivate.

The white fog was getting thicker and thicker, and it looked like we wouldn't be able to go any further.

After thinking it over, Lin Chen finally decided to return the way he came.

He suppressed his curiosity once again and turned to leave.

But this time he walked for a long time and did not return to the location of the Spirit Spring.

It took him half an hour to walk there, but when he turned back, it had been two hours and he still couldn't see the spirit spring.

"Are we going the wrong way?" Lin Chen asked the Devouring Beast.

But the Devouring Beast shook its head, telling Lin Chen that this direction was correct and that the spiritual spring it sensed was just ahead.

Suddenly the little fox shrieked again. Lin Chen turned around and saw that the little fox had stepped on the bones again.

"It's alright," Lin Chen reassured him.

"Gugu~~"

The little fox told Lin Chen that it wasn't afraid, but rather that this bone looked a bit like the one it had stepped on before.

"No way."

Lin Chen broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Could this be a case of being trapped in a maze?
Lin Chen stepped forward and picked up the bone. He found that it really looked like the bone. He remembered that there was a dent in the front of the bone.

This bone has such marks on it.

Lin Chen looked back and said, "Let's go one more time."

Sure enough, after walking for 15 minutes, they returned to the same spot.

Lin Chen believed it this time; he was certain it was a case of being trapped in a maze.

Lin Chen remained calm. He was currently in a strange situation and couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Based on past experience, these strange things will disappear once the night is over.

"Since we're already here," Lin Chen looked straight ahead and finally made up his mind.

He didn't want to provoke them, but the strange occurrences came knocking, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep going.

As they walked, the white fog grew thicker, until they could barely see anything. Lin Chen became wary and forced himself to keep going.

As they passed through the mist, a sudden burst of light made Lin Chen's eyes uncomfortable. Little Black and Little White had already stepped in front of Lin Chen and his companions, while the little fox jumped onto Lin Chen's shoulder, also mustering its courage and preparing for battle.

Lin Chen adjusted to the light, as if he had entered a completely new world.

The moon here is so big and round.
Even the moon seems incredibly close here.

The bronze giant tree was clearly visible at that moment.

"What kind of world is this? A new continent?" Lin Chen looked into the distance, but it was all desolate, and there was nothing special to see in the distance.

Lin Chen decided to go in and take a look, but as soon as he took a step forward, it felt like he had bumped into a wall.

An invisible wall?
Lin Chen was surprised. He touched the so-called wall but couldn't reach it, and he just couldn't get in.

"If only the unicorn were here," Lin Chen guessed, thinking that this must be a spatial barrier that was blocking this place.

Lin Chen knew that this was probably the only place he could go.

He did not return, but stood outside the invisible wall, using his eyes to observe everything inside.

This world doesn't seem to be much different from Earth, except that it gives off a desolate and decaying feeling.

It felt like the desolate atmosphere after a war.

Is this scene before us a mirage, or a new, isolated world?
Why would it appear here on the night of the new moon?
Lin Chen's intuition told him that what was hidden here might be astonishing.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen couldn't get in at all and had to give up.

Lin Chen was wondering whether he should wait until Bai Ling came in and do it again.

Deep down, Lin Chen was curious, but also worried about safety.

As the night passed and the white fog dissipated, Lin Chen and the others returned to their original spot. It all felt like a dream, giving them an unreal feeling. It took them half a day to recover.

As for the spirit beasts, they have already returned to their tedious cultivation.

The little fox doesn't have a high need for leveling up right now; its current task is to continuously hone its Heart-Burning Fire Control.

Two days later, the Devouring Beast finally sensed that Bai Ling had entered the area and was heading here, and would probably arrive tomorrow.

Lin Chen nodded. Although half the time had passed, there were still more than two months left, which was a rare opportunity for spirit beasts.

However, with Bai Ling's arrival and the abundance of spirit beasts, they have to be divided into two pools.

The next day, Bai Ling finally arrived. The first thing she did upon arriving was to look at the Devouring Beast; her eyes were shining.

Lin Chen could understand; if he hadn't seen Xiao Bai for two months, he probably would have felt the same way.

"It's gotten even fatter." Bai Ling patted the Devouring Beast's belly, very happy.

"Cuck!"

The Devouring Beast was also very happy.

Lin Chen, however, kept his eyes fixed on the red-feathered chicken next to Bai Ling.
Since she's already inside, Liu Gu must have helped it successfully evolve.
Lin Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity, partly because he wanted to see how it would evolve, and partly because he wanted to pluck a feather from it.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Chen asked Bai Ling if she had successfully evolved.

Bai Ling nodded. She trusted Lin Chen completely and explained the entire evolution process in detail, including the reappearance of the phoenix phantom during its evolution.

After saying that, Lin Chen looked at the Red Velvet Chicken and asked in great surprise, "It's already level 23?"

Bai Ling nodded.

Not only did the Red-haired Chicken evolve successfully, but it also jumped directly from level 20 to level 23 during the evolution process.

Lin Chen was astonished upon hearing this.

It's normal for a beast to skip levels during evolution, but usually it only skips one or two levels. Although this doesn't determine a spirit beast's talent, skipping three levels in a row definitely makes it a dragon among beasts, and its potential is not low.

"Chicken, transform and show him!" Bai Ling looked at the red-haired chicken expectantly.

The red-haired chicken also held its head high.
Now, times have changed.

It needs to fill the void left by Bai Ling in the realm of combat.

"Gu!!"

It let out a loud cry, then flapped its wings, and immediately activated its evolved form.

Flame Feather Beast

This is one of the atavistic evolutions of the Red Velvet Chicken, belonging to the top-tier breed.

It is nearly three times larger than the Red-tailed Chicken, and its body is covered with layers of reddish-brown feathers like lava. Each feather tip is inlaid with flowing golden flame patterns, as if lava is winding between the feathers.

Its head retains the outline of a rooster's comb, but the comb feathers have been transformed into three clusters of leaping reddish-gold flames.

Its tail is beginning to resemble the rudiments of a phoenix's long feathers, with the three main feathers being a translucent amber color.
Lin Chen, referring to the descriptions of the Flame Feather Beasts he had previously read, knew that this chicken was extraordinary.
Its fourth skill is...

Lin Chen was filled with anticipation.

The first three skills of the Red Velvet Chicken are not particularly outstanding, as Liu Gu also mentioned.

The period of qualitative change for the Red-eared Chicken was after its evolution.
