Starting with Crimson

I could feel the magic core inside my stomach being digested, and the crimson progress bar was slowly rising.

Finally, the number of evolution points in Li Qingyu's mind became three.

Immediately, Li Qingyu turned his gaze to the husky without hesitation.

Use, crimson in...

[Crimson: Wait, wait... Don't let it evolve in Pineapple Castle, I have a bad feeling...]

Uh... a bad feeling?

Li Qingyu was taken aback.

Okay, you decide.

boom!!!

Suddenly, there was another violent shaking, and the coffee table in front of the sofa was overturned.

Damn it... when will this ever end?!

You're getting more and more aggressive now that I'm ignoring you, huh? I'll get you in a bit!!

So, Li Qingyu opened the door of Pineapple Castle with one hand and kicked it hard, sending the husky flying out.

"Awooooo!~"

The husky, kicked away, rolled twice, its three heads rolling back in confusion.

Use it, and Crimson Evolution will occur!

The two evolution points vanished instantly.

A red light flashed in Li Qingyu's eyes.

The husky, who had just rolled out of Pineapple Castle, hadn't even had a chance to get up when another burst of deep red flames set it ablaze.

As for why it's "again"...

Haha... if huskies could talk...

They'll definitely say, "Will this ever end?!" What kind of dog evolves three times in a single day?!

Dogs are prone to being the first to fall...

The owner always forces the dog to change its skin before it's even adjusted to it; that's too much to ask of a dog...

The crimson flames instantly enveloped the husky, but instead of extinguishing as quickly as before, they grew even more intense.

Soaring, soaring, and soaring even higher!

Expand, expand, and expand again!!

The flames of evolution only slowly stopped rising when they reached a height similar to that of the Pineapple Castle.

Judging by its size, it's almost as big as the husky after Li Qingyu used the Beast King's Heart.

the other side.

The sand scorpion leader also stopped ramming and lay at a distance, watching the enormous ball of flame warily.

Even with the doors tightly shut, Li Qingyu was still thrilled to see such an exaggerated display of flames through the windows of Pineapple Castle.

This size!

This is impressive!

The big boss has arrived.

This time, the husky really turned the tables!

..................................

United Nations conference room.

At this point, only 75 of the 103 live streaming rooms on the main screen of the conference room remained.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite somber.

Before the day was even over, 28 contestants had already been eliminated.

So far in this competition, there's only one way to be eliminated...

die!!

In other words...

A quarter of the contestants... will never be able to go home...

If this continues, the remaining players probably won't last more than a few days.

After all, although all players have their talents awakened by talent cards, not all talents are useful, for example...

Talents include catching a blade bare-handed, instantly changing clothes, quickly defecating, and remaining unconscious for a day...

It's the same as not having it...

Even useful talents can be greatly limited in their use in the desert.

Moreover, Saha Star was not as peaceful as it was during the day after nightfall. Most of the contestants suffered attacks of varying degrees.

Sandworms, sand ants, sand scorpions, sand sculptures...

Countless monsters roam the night.

For ordinary players with no combat ability, if they don't awaken talents in combat or survival, they can only wait to die.

It could even be... worse than death...

For example, a contestant from the small country of Lanxi awakened the talent of healing and regeneration.

This was originally a talent for relieving others' pain, but she was all alone in the desert, without even a pet.

The representatives from various countries could only watch helplessly as she struggled for more than half an hour, being chased and devoured by sand ants, before finally dying.

Her talent brought her no hope, only prolonged her suffering. Because on this strange planet, in a place beyond the reach of any nation, there was no rescue.

And this moment.

Many more brutal battles are unfolding.

The anger of the representatives from various countries was brewing, and the anger of all the viewers watching the live broadcast was also brewing.

This is hardly a competition.

This is clearly a war waged by the entire Earth!

....................................

Not long after.

The deep red flames gradually died down.

At this moment, what appeared before Li Qingyu was...

"Woof woof woof!~"

A weak bark came from the dog.

Li Qingyu stared intently, as if he were seeing the same image he had taken when he bought the husky for six hundred yuan at the pet market years ago.

Back then, the husky was only two months old and wasn't as silly as it is now.

Tiny... and adorable...

Li Qingyu rubbed his eyes and looked again in disbelief.

Damn it...

It really looks like a husky when it was a puppy...

No way... Crimson's random evolution can even regress?

Or rather...rejuvenation?

Is this... my doom?

Li Qingyu was so frightened that he quickly checked the husky's attributes.

【Name: Erha】

[Race: Primal Destroyer]

[Bloodline Level: Monarch-level Infancy]

[Innate Skills: Eternal Darkness Destruction Wave, Primal Body, Monarchic Rule.]

Hmm... not regression?

They actually evolved directly from Warrior-level... to Monarch-level?

Looking at the characteristics of the husky, Li Qingyu was somewhat surprised.

[Crimson: Perhaps three consecutive evolutions in one day have left your puppy completely confused, subconsciously longing to return to the carefree days of its childhood.]

[Therefore, reverse evolution occurred, causing it to regress from its growth stage to its juvenile stage. Although its level regressed, the power of evolution allowed its bloodline to evolve to the monarch level.]

[The Monarch-level bloodline is the highest level of normal evolution. Even in its infancy, defeating these two mini-bosses is a piece of cake, don't worry.]

However, I must remind you.

[If a pet, which is already not very intelligent, evolves too many times in a short period of time, it will seriously affect its intelligence and mental health.]

You've almost ruined your dog; you should leave it alone for now.

Li Qingyu watched as the husky waddled towards Pineapple Castle with its short legs.

That adorably silly look...

It doesn't resemble a monarch-level creature at all...

The sand scorpion leader, who had been intimidated by the enormous flames of evolution, became enraged when he saw that what emerged from the flames was a tiny creature.

Its thick, long tail was raised above its head, and the huge barbs on its tail stretched out, turning into terrifying spikes that gleamed with a cold, icy light under the starlight.

Seeing the sand scorpion leader aim his scorpion tail at the husky that was still bouncing around.

Li Qingyu tensed up instantly.

Although Crimson said that a monarch-level husky would have no problem defeating the sand scorpion leader, Li Qingyu was still worried seeing such a small husky facing such a large sand scorpion leader.

His whole face was pressed against the window, his eyes wide open like saucers.

boom!!

Suddenly, a loud bang.

The scorpion's barb lashed out at the husky.

boom! !

Li Qingyu's vision went black.

The husky was sprawled out in a starfish position, its head tilted to one side, pressed against the windowpane in front of it.

A man and a dog, their eyes locked.
