What does it mean when a pet evolves incorrectly?

Two tasks!

This is the first time the system has issued two tasks at the same time, and the rewards are both very generous!

A puppy?

Dark race?

Lin Chen exhaled, recovering from his brief shock, his gaze sharp as he quickly scanned the battlefield ahead.

Clearly, the Pine Pine Dog that was being forced to retreat under the fierce attack of the Gale Sable was the Little Dog Beast that the system was referring to.

Yes, it's an old system tactic; it mistakes native pets for Digimon.

But it must be said that the Satsuki does indeed resemble the Little Dog by about 70-80%.

Although Lin Chen was not unfamiliar with Puppymon, he was more familiar with Puppymon's evolved form—Gatomon.

Tailmon's Ultimate form is Angewomon, which enjoys immense popularity.

Hello, Little Dog Beast! Little Dog Beast, let's get a contract.

What he wants is a little puppy!

As for the second target, it was clearly the Swiftwind Weasel with bloodshot eyes, fur that gleamed with an ominous black light, and a crazed appearance.

But why does the system call it the Dark Race?

Why would you say, "The shadow of Dark Crisis is emerging, and the curtain slowly rises to cover the world"?

Could it be that the Dark Crisis the system initially mentioned refers to the Dark Race?

Where did these dark creatures come from?

Why did they suddenly appear in Qinglan City?

For a moment, a series of doubts lingered in Lin Chen's mind. He frowned, his thoughts racing.

But this is clearly not the time to consider these things.

"So this is what was used to torture and kill the kapok sheep."

Old Liu's deep voice rang out as he looked at the Gale Sable with a grave expression: "This Gale Sable is acting very strangely. It's like it's gone mad, or like it's been controlled by a mental skill."

Lin Chen strode forward, his tone quick: "Uncle Liu, let me stabilize the situation first. You should contact Brother Zhang immediately."

Old Liu glanced at Lin Chen, whose face was solemn, and then at the Flameclaw Beast, which was eager to try. He opened his mouth, but no words of dissuasion came out.

When it comes to social skills, on-site investigation, and handling all kinds of complex incidents, Lin Chen and Zhang Zhi are no match for him.

But when it comes to pet battles, this old man who is about to retire is naturally no match for him.

His combat skills were long outdated, and his pet beasts were just as old as him, with almost zero combat power.

At this moment, only Lin Chen can make a move.

He said, "Safety first. If we can't win, we'll retreat and wait for Zhang Zhi to arrive."

He then took out his communicator and contacted Zhang Zhi.

Lin Chen nodded, stepped forward, and entered the battlefield.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the Squirrel was struck hard in the side by a tail whip from the Swift Sable. Its small body was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. Its off-white fur was instantly soaked with mud and blood.

"Eek~"

It let out a weak, painful whimper, struggling to prop itself up with its forelimbs, but its injuries were too severe, and its limbs trembled constantly. It tried several times but failed.

Its vision began to blur, the cold rain and excruciating pain constantly devoured its consciousness, and darkness surged in from all sides like a tide.

"Mmm..."

Just before its consciousness was about to completely sink into darkness, its body felt light and it fell into a warm embrace.

A pair of large hands carefully supported its battered body. With its last bit of strength, the dog struggled to open a slit in its eye.

In the blurred vision, a young and handsome human face came into view, with clear eyebrows and eyes that appeared particularly calm in the rainy night.

Rain dripped down his angular jawline, but there was no fear or greed in his gaze as he looked at himself, only a strange... expectation?

A gentle voice pierced through the sound of rain and the buzzing in its ears, faintly reaching out:

"It's alright, get some sleep."

The sound was very soft, yet it kept the drowsy body from falling asleep.

Darkness finally enveloped it completely.

Lin Chen quickly checked the injuries of the dog in his arms. Although it looked terrible, it was mostly superficial wounds and exhaustion, and there was no danger to its life.

He carefully handed it to Uncle Wang, who was rushing over from behind: "Uncle Wang, please take care of it first, and don't let it get wet in the rain."

"Okay, okay!"

Uncle Wang quickly took it and wrapped the shivering Songsong dog in the corner of his dry clothes, his face full of heartache.

At the same time, the Gale Sable had already locked its bloodshot, crimson eyes on the Flame Claw Beast that had suddenly appeared.

"Hiss—Roar!!"

It let out a roar that was mixed with the howl of the wind and some kind of eerie hiss, and the ominous black light flowing around its body seemed to intensify.

With its hind legs stomping against the muddy ground, it pounced towards the Flameclaw Beast like a gray lightning bolt stained with darkness.

This Gale Sable, like the Flame Claw Beast, is only a Tier 1 pet.

But the violent, chaotic, and reckless madness emanating from within made Lin Chen feel a chill run down his spine.

"Erhuo, be careful!" Lin Chen warned in a deep voice.

"Gaku!"

The Flameclaw Beast roared and, instead of retreating, advanced in the face of the Gale Sable's frenzied pounce. Its right claw suddenly emitted a sharp white light as it fearlessly met the attack!

Clang!

Sizzle—!

Claws clashed violently in the rainy night.

A piercing clang of metal and a tearing sound rang out, sparks flew from the claws, only to be instantly extinguished by the torrential rain, turning into wisps of smoke.

In the clash of pure power, the Flameclaw Beast remained as steady as a mountain, while the Gale Sable was thrown back slightly by the impact.

But the Gale Sable immediately twisted its body with unconventional flexibility, its long tail whipping like a steel whip, and a Gale Bullet with wildly rotating internal airflow and black energy wrapped around its edges was formed, whistling as it smashed towards the Flame Claw Beast's face.

"Flame Breath Bullet!" Lin Chen's pupils contracted as he quickly issued the command.

The Flameclaw Beast reacted swiftly, launching a solid, scorching fireball that arrived first and precisely intercepted the path of the Gale Slash.

boom!

Fire and wind collided violently in mid-air, and the shockwave from the explosion pushed aside the surrounding rain in a shallow circle.

This time, the Flameclaw Beast's Flame Breath Bullet was clearly more powerful, not only shattering the chaotic Wind Slash Bullet, but the remaining shockwave continued to strike the Gale Sable.

"Roar—!"

With a muffled explosion, the Gale Sable was unable to dodge in time and let out a sharp, painful hiss. Its chest fur was charred black, and its skin was torn open.

But it seemed completely oblivious to the pain, its crimson eyes unblinking as it stared intently at the Flameclaw Beast.

The next moment, the Swift Sable, which had been slightly staggered by the blast, forcibly steadied itself, its hind leg muscles bulging again, and it was about to pounce on the attack again without any regard for the consequences.

That stance was that of a madman fighting to the death!

"This is really troublesome." Lin Chen frowned.

This Gale Sable's state is too strange; it ignores pain and only has the instinct to attack.

Could this be the reason why the Dark Race is endangering the entire world?

"Sharp claws, repel it." Lin Chen frowned slightly and continued to issue commands.

Upon receiving the command, the Flame Claw Beast extended its left claw like lightning, a flash of white light!

laugh!

This time, the claws ripped open the fur on the shoulder blades of the Gale Sable, leaving a trail of blood and a few strands of gray fur stained with black energy.

"Roar!!"

The Swift Sable screamed as it was slammed sideways by an even greater force, rolling several times in the mud, covered in mud and looking utterly pathetic.

Having landed a successful blow, the Flame Claw Beast did not pursue, but instead slightly turned its head to look at Lin Chen.

Its deep green eyes gleamed with a questioning intent as it raised a front paw and made a clean, decisive slash across its neck.

"Gag?"

Lin Chen looked at the Swiftwind Weasel struggling to get up in the mud in the distance, and then thought of the three gruesome carcasses of the cotton sheep in the livestock shed, as well as the word "kill" in the system task.

His eyes sharpened, and without further hesitation, he raised his hand towards the Flameclaw Beast, making a horizontal slashing motion in front of its neck.

Exactly.

"Gag!!"

The Flameclaw Beast instantly became excited, its eyes blazing with ferocity, its chest bulging, and the chilling orange light deep in its throat began to gather and compress wildly!

The most powerful small-scale explosion!

In the short two or three seconds that the Flameclaw Beast was charging up, the Gale Sable lying paralyzed in the mud suddenly began to twitch unnaturally.

The madness in his bloodshot eyes remained, but there was also a hint of indescribable pain and struggle.

"Roar..."

It bared its blood-stained fangs and growled at the direction of the Flameclaw Beast, its limbs digging in the mud as if it wanted to pounce, but its trembling body seemed to be bound by invisible chains, and it was unable to exert any force for the time being.

Just before the [small explosion] was about to erupt, the Gale Sable suddenly let out a piercing, night-ripping cry: "Roar!"

The next instant, those crimson eyes took one last look at the Flameclaw Beast, then abruptly turned and fled in the opposite direction for their lives.

"Huh, it can even run away?" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.
