What does it mean when a pet evolves incorrectly?

Chapter 101 His command tactics have returned to simplicity

Upon breaking through, the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus raised its head, its scarlet round eyes slowly scanning its surroundings.

It looked at the group of Shadow Rift Cats not far away, who were already trembling with fear. As soon as it saw them, the cats immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, letting out weak whimpers.

It then looked at the Moonlit Spirit Cat beside it, raised its head slightly, and exhaled a puff of hot air from its mouth and nose.

I'll protect you from now on!

Finally, its gaze fell on Lin Chen, a thoughtful look flashing in its eyes.

The Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus could clearly feel the surging power within its body, a power several times stronger than before. It even felt that it couldn't have withstood a single Dragon Claw attack from the previous version.

So, I should be able to withstand Lin Chen's iron fist now, right?

Lin Chen looked up, feeling the earth-shattering changes on the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus Rex up close, as well as the overwhelming pressure emanating from it, and his heart was filled with excitement.

He thought to himself, "Third-order and second-order are indeed not comparable."

There is a huge dividing line between the second and third tiers; crossing it leads to a completely different world.

Take my father, Lin Jianjun, for example. He worked diligently at the detention center for most of his life, and only through tireless efforts could he barely raise his initial pet to the third tier, becoming an ordinary intermediate beast tamer. This was the upper limit for most beast tamers.

The growth of a pet becomes increasingly difficult as it progresses.

Each advancement is accompanied by enormous resource consumption, a long period of accumulation, and various unpredictable physical bottlenecks.

Bloodline constraints, and even vague and ethereal insights.

Countless pets are stuck at the peak of the second or third tier, sometimes for years or even decades, and some never make any progress in their entire lives.

"But I'm different." A sharp glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. "I have a cheat code."

Thinking of his father, Lin Chen remembered that his mother had mentioned a few days ago that his father had been promoted to captain of the action team.

With higher positions come greater responsibilities and potentially more complex situations.

While his father's third-tier Fire Hound is reliable, its strength needs to be further improved if he wants to truly win over the people and handle more challenging tasks.

"I happen to have enough credits right now, so I can exchange them for some training resources and send them to my parents," Lin Chen thought to himself.

His method of improvement differs from that of traditional beast tamers; ordinary nurturing resources are generally ineffective.

Lin Jianjun is only in his forties, still young, and at the best age to strive and work hard.

Leaving aside the legendary level of beast tamer, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has become a master under Lin Chen's guidance.

As his thoughts raced, Lin Chen's mind stirred, and he summoned the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus's new data panel:

[Pet: Tyrannomon (Local name: Flameridge Tyrannomon)]

[Level: Tier 3, Stage 1 (0/84)]

[Attribute: Fire, Dragon]

[Race Rank: High Elite]

[Moves: Blazing Bullet (Mastery), Dragon Claw (Mastery), Super Blast (Proficient), Fiery Charge (Proficient), Dragon Shadow Charge (Proficient), Giant Horn Impact (Proficient)]

【Intimacy Level: 92】

[Evolution Method: Evolution Experience Points (90/1000), Functional Core x1]

Nearly a month after its evolution, the Flameridge Tyrannosaurus has seen a significant increase in its overall strength.

Not only did he break through to the third tier of strength, but his proficiency in Dragon Claw also increased to the master level. In addition, Dragon Shadow Charge and the newly mastered Giant Horn Impact have both been upgraded to the proficiency level.

Once the third skill is upgraded to Mastery level, the Knowledge Badge can be upgraded.

"However, Nuomi also has a chance to complete this final step," Lin Chen thought to himself.

Nuomi has been busy training new skills lately, so her proficiency with Phantom Charge hasn't reached the master level yet, but given her current usage frequency, it shouldn't take too long.

"Besides training skills, I also need to get Nuomi to break through to the third rank as soon as possible. Hmm, my own meditation level also needs to keep up, and I'll strive to break through to the intermediate beast tamer as soon as possible and contract my third pet beast."

"By then, the team configuration will be more complete, and the tactics will be more diverse —" Lin Chen was immersed in his future plans.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a desperate meow broke the silence.

A Shadowcutter emerged from behind a pile of rocks at an almost tumbling speed. Its fur was disheveled, its eyes were filled with fear, and it let out a mournful howl as it ran.

Soon, the Shadowcutter returned to its pack, its body trembling slightly.

It waved its claws and made a series of rapid, urgent cries at the leader and its companions, as if telling them something extremely terrible.

Lin Chen leaned closer and listened carefully.

As a professional beast tamer, although he did not possess the beast tamer skills to communicate with his pets without any obstacles, he was able to fully understand what the Shadow Rift Cat was saying thanks to his years of accumulated knowledge and his own pet's translation skills.

This Shadowcutter cat indicates that a very powerful pet has entered the area and is hunting wildly, indiscriminately attacking nearby pets and humans.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "How powerful?"

The trembling Shadowcutter looked around, then suddenly stared at the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus, which exuded a powerful aura from within, and shakily extended its paw.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "A third-tier pet beast?"

Then, he turned his head to look at the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus, which happened to be lowering its head as well, and their eyes met for a moment.

Lin Chen understood the intense fighting spirit in the eyes of the Flameback Tyrannosaurus, and the Flameback Tyrannosaurus saw through the eagerness in Lin Chen's eyes.

So, both the person and the pet nodded at the same time.

"Let's do it!"

"Yago!"

So, a group of Shadow Crack Cats led Lin Chen to the location of this powerful pet, and the group quickly traversed the wasteland.

The closer they got to the target area, the more pronounced the atmosphere of panic and chaos became.

Along the way, you can see bushes that have been violently destroyed, dead trees that have been snapped in half, and huge, messy crawling tracks on the ground.

Occasionally, you can see some wild pets fleeing in panic from both sides of their route, as if there are demons behind them ready to devour them.

The more panicked the wild pets became, the more excited the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus became, constantly urging the Shadow Claw Cats to hurry up.

Soon, they approached an area of ​​lush meadow.

Lin Chen was taken aback: "Isn't this the habitat of those blade-tailed vipers?"

The once lush meadow is now a mess.

Vast swathes of grassland were trampled and flattened by some enormous creature, revealing the dark brown soil beneath.

In many places, there were abnormal depressions and bulges, as if they had been repeatedly plowed by some invisible force, and the air was filled with a strong smell of earth and blood.

Several Shadowcutter cats stopped on a high earthen slope at the edge of the meadow, trembling as they lay down, pointing with their paws into the depths of the meadow, whimpering in fear, and daring not to take another step forward.

Lin Chen looked into the distance and saw a brownish-brown figure, resembling a small hill, slowly moving in the center of the meadow.

It was a snake.

A gigantic serpent so large it's suffocating!

Its body length is definitely over a thousand meters, and its thickest part is comparable to a water tank.

Its entire body is covered with brownish-yellow scales, resembling parched earth, and covered with rough textures similar to rock fissures, gleaming dullly in the sunlight.

This giant snake's head was not an inverted triangle like that of the blade-tailed viper, but rather wider and flatter, like a roughly polished boulder.

A pair of dark yellow vertical pupils were set on either side of his head, their opening and closing as cold as permafrost.

Its mouth is unusually large, and when it opens, it seems capable of swallowing small wild beasts. Its mouth contains two rows of blunt teeth that resemble rock files, rather than venomous fangs.

This giant snake did not have the swiftness and agility of ordinary snakes. Its movements were heavy and slow, like the movement of a mountain. However, every twist of its body caused a slight tremor in the ground, easily crushing the soil and grass roots beneath it.

A thick tail occasionally sweeps impatiently across the ground, capable of shattering a rock the size of a millstone or carving a deep trench.

At this moment, this colossal creature was coiled in a depression resembling a small basin. Its dark yellow vertical pupils coldly surveyed the surrounding area, which it had ravaged beyond recognition. Its forked black tongue occasionally darted out, capturing the lingering scent in the air.

Lin Chen gazed into the distance, his eyes flashing: "Earth Abyss Rock Python."

Race name: Abyssal Rock Python.

"Attribute: Earth, Normal".

"Racial Rank: Mid-Elite"

"Strength Level: Third Tier, Third Stage"

This is a type of snake that typically lives deeper in the wilderness and is rarely seen in remote areas.

But Lin Chen didn't want to delve into why this guy was here. He quickly analyzed in his mind: "Third-tier, third-stage, his strength level isn't high. Two Fires can handle him perfectly well."

"Hmm, let's take this guy as our first opponent after breaking through from the second level to the third level. It'll be a good opportunity to test our current combat strength."

"Second Fire." Lin Chen turned to look at the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus. No words were needed; the two were already in perfect harmony.

"Yago!!!"

The Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus Rex could no longer contain itself and let out a deafening roar as soon as it received the command.

With its hind legs pushing off the ground, its massive body, seemingly a meter taller, carried a terrifying aura and scorching heat waves, like a burning heavy war chariot, and rumbled as it charged fiercely toward the Abyssal Rock Python.

Each step was incredibly heavy, causing the earth to tremble and dust to billow into the sky behind him, creating a terrifying sight.

The Abyssal Rock Python, which was resting here, suddenly sensed a violent and aggressive aura rapidly approaching. Its dark yellow vertical pupils snapped open, and its cold gaze locked onto the charging Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus.

"hiss!"

The Abyssal Rock Python let out a hiss like the friction of rocks, and its massive body quickly stretched out from its coiled position.

It raised its flat, rock-like head, staring intently at the charging Flameback Tyrannosaurus, its robust body slightly arched, its thick, brownish-yellow scales tightly closed, ready to fight.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

Meanwhile, at the top of a weathered rock column located on a higher elevation.

A tall, slender figure stood there, seemingly out of nowhere.

She wore a fitted dark red leather hunting outfit that accentuated her stunningly sexy curves. Her long, dark chestnut-colored wavy hair swayed slightly in the wind of the wilderness. She wore brown goggles that covered half of her face, revealing only her beautifully shaped chin and bright red lips.

"Tsk, looks like someone beat me to it."

Her voice carried a hint of languid magnetism as she muttered to herself, "I thought I could help the younger students out with some minor troubles before I left, but it turns out there's no place for me to do anything."

"Forget it, I've had enough of this lousy place after half a month. So-so, and I've gotten myself all sandy." She stretched lazily, covered her hand, and yawned. "Time to go back and get some beauty sleep—"

As Yun Chufei muttered to herself, she turned around and prepared to leap off the other side of the rock pillar.

However, just as she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the majestic and wild dragon-shaped pet on the battlefield out of the corner of her eye.

"what?"

Yun Chufei paused slightly, then turned back, her gaze behind her brown goggles now filled with inquisitive interest: "I didn't look closely just now. I don't think I've seen this pet before. Is it some kind of lesser-known sub-dragon? Or is it a native pet from another federation?"

She temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​leaving, and simply crossed her arms, leaning against the rock pillar to gaze at the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus had already rushed into the territory of the Abyssal Rock Serpent.

"Yago!"

The Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus launched the first attack. When it was still dozens of meters away, it opened its huge mouth and fired a blazing bullet.

However, the Abyssal Rock Python was also quick to react.

Faced with the incoming blazing bullets, it neither dodged nor avoided them. Its massive body trembled slightly, and a light yellowish-brown halo suddenly appeared on its surface. The next moment, a thick earthen wall rose up from the ground in front of it!

Skill - Rock Barrier!

laugh-!!

The incendiary bomb slammed into the rock wall, sending sparks flying everywhere. The surface of the earthen wall melted, turned red, and cracked at a visible speed, but it did not collapse.

Lin Chen was not surprised by this.

Earth-type has excellent resistance to fire-type, so the newly upgraded Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus naturally cannot kill the Abyssal Rock Serpent in one hit.

The next moment, after blocking the attack, the Abyssal Rock Python suddenly raised its giant tail and slammed it heavily onto the ground in front of it.

Skill - Ground Wave Concussion!

boom!

A powerful shockwave spread rapidly forward in a fan shape, causing the ground to undulate and crack like waves, and countless fragments of stone to fly up.

The Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus's charge suddenly faltered, its footing faltered, and its massive body swayed slightly.

At the same moment, the Earth Abyss Python's body sank downwards, disappearing into the ground that it had just shaken loose and cracked, as if diving into water.

In an instant, a pit was left with soil constantly sliding down, and a small mound of earth that rose slightly and moved quickly.

Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged.

Although he rarely encountered earth-type pets, he knew that most earth-type pets would burrow underground and then launch an attack when the opportunity arose.

"Yagu?"

With no sign of the Abyssal Rock Serpent, the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus looked around and cast a wary glance at the ground.

Lin Chen's voice then echoed in the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus's mind: "Ignore it, let it come out."

"Yagu~"

The Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus nodded slightly, then remained motionless.

It remained unmoved as the Abyssal Rock Python continued to slither underground, trying to distract it and drain its energy.

Seeing this, Yun Chufei's eyes flickered, and she murmured to herself, "Using the unchanging to deal with all changes, this strategy is quite interesting."

"Hmm, this kind of back-to-basics tactical thinking...is it from a senior student at some academy?"

"He does look like a young 18-year-old male college student."
