What does it mean when a pet evolves incorrectly?

Chapter 93 Evolution! Radiant Moon Cat!

If Zhou Ming remembered correctly, he remembered that Brother Chen had said the same thing in the secret realm.

After saying this, Flameclaw evolved into its new evolution form, Flamespinosaurus, right before everyone's eyes.

This time, Brother Chen said the same thing.

Could it be that—

Zhou Ming's pupils suddenly contracted, his heart began to pound uncontrollably, and he fixed his gaze on the pineapple.

At the same time, the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus lowered its head and stared at the Squirrel, which was even smaller than its own paw: "Yagu..."

'

It wanted to see just how well this little guy could evolve.

Lin Chen took the Holy Radiance Crystal Core, walked up to Songsong Dog, squatted down, and gently rubbed its little head: "Ready? Let's begin."

"Eek!"

The dog nodded vigorously.

It first glanced at Lin Chen, whose face was full of anticipation, and then looked up at the majestic and imposing Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus.

Can it evolve into something like this?

Can it be this majestic and imposing?

But no matter what, I'll definitely become stronger after evolving. That way, I can continue to help Lin Chen.

【Ding! 】

[A level 3 resource, the Holy Radiance Crystal Core, has been collected. Using it will grant 50 evolution experience points.]

【Should we use it immediately?】

"Yes," Lin Chen silently replied.

At this moment, there are only thirty seconds left to fill the evolution bar of the Squirrel. Using the Holy Radiance Crystal Core will fill it and satisfy the two conditions for evolution.

The next moment, the Pinepie grabbed the Holy Radiance Crystal Core: "Eek~"

Pure and warm light energy gushed out from the crystal core like flowing spring water, transforming into strands of milky white light that gently surrounded the Summon dog before merging into its body.

The dog squinted comfortably, its body trembling slightly. This was not pain, but the joyful excitement of an impending leap in its life level.

The off-white hair moved without wind, as if each strand was drawing power from the light, emitting an increasingly bright white glow.

As the Holy Radiance Crystal Core shrank at a visible rate until it finally turned to ashes and vanished completely, the white light emanating from the Squirrel also reached its peak.

Its small body was completely enveloped in a dazzling pure white light.

"This, this is—the light of evolution?!" Li Heng exclaimed in shock.

"Hmph, making a fuss over nothing."

Zhou Ming crossed his arms, raised his chin, and looked smug. "I saw the Flameclaw Beast evolve into the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus long ago in the secret realm."

Li Heng glared at Zhou Ming and clenched his fists.

This guy...

Zhang Xiaoxiao leaned closer, her eyes flashing slightly: "If I remember correctly, the Satsuki only has one stable evolutionary path."

"That means it evolved into a low-level elite, normal-attribute howling hound."

"A roaring dog..." Zhou Ming squinted, carefully recalling a series of information about roaring dogs, and blurted out subconsciously, "I remember that kind of pet is quite weak..."

97

Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Ming suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Lin Chen, who had a calm expression, and Songsong, who was covered in white light. He then changed the subject: "But then again, with Brother Chen's abilities, he can definitely breed a unique Roaring Dog."

"After all, as you know, there are no useless pets."

At the same moment, the evolutionary light covering the entire body of the Squirrel grew brighter and brighter, and a purer white light suddenly erupted, filling everyone's vision.

The light lasted for several seconds before gradually fading away.

When everyone's vision returned and they refocused on the center of the burst of light, they were all stunned.

The expected howling dog did not appear; instead, a strange pet they had never seen before appeared.

This pet is small and slender, resembling a cat. Its entire body is covered with soft, short fur as white and flawless as moonlight, reflecting a faint silver glow from the starlight.

With a small head, delicate features, a pair of triangular ears that tremble gently, and eyes that are like pure amethyst carved into a piece, full of spirituality and wisdom, it has completely shed the naivety of its Puppy days.

It does not stand on all fours, but rather on two legs like a human, with an upright and composed posture, and a pair of sharp claws that gleam with a cold, sharp light.

A slender, flexible tail swayed gently behind it, with a miniature sacred ring at the end.

"This, this is—"

Zhou Ming gaped, rubbing his eyes hard. "Brother Chen! What kind of pet is this? Shouldn't the Songsong Dog evolve into a Roaring Dog? What's with this feline pet?"

This time, Li Heng crossed his arms and sneered, "Hmph, making a fuss over nothing. It's just an unknown pet that's never appeared before, isn't it?"

"Now that we already have the Flameridge Tyrannosaurus, isn't it normal for a completely new evolutionary form to appear?"

"Zhou Ming, you're still too inexperienced."

Zhou Ming: "You f***ing..."

'

At the same time, Lin Chen closely observed the evolved Songsong Dog, and with a thought, summoned its current data panel:

[Pet: Gatomon (Local name: Moonlit Spirit Cat)]

[Level: Tier 2, Stage 1 (18/42)]

【Attribute: Normal, Light】

[Race Rank: Mid-Elite]

[Movements: Light Blade Slash (Beginner), Swift Shadow Strike, Phantom Strike (Advanced), Bewitching Whisper (Advanced)]

【Intimacy Level: 92】

[Evolution Method: Evolution Experience Points (20/1000), Holy Spirit Core 1]

It has finally evolved.

Looking at the new data panel of the Pinepuppy, no, the Radiant Moon Cat, Lin Chen was filled with emotion.

Although the evolution process of the Moonlit Spirit Cat was far less arduous and lengthy than that of the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus, Lin Chen and the pre-evolutionary PineChow still put in a lot of effort.

Fortunately, all the effort was worthwhile.

After successfully evolving, the Moonlit Spirit Cat became a pet with a hybrid attribute of Normal and Light, its racial level jumped to Intermediate Elite, and its innate basic skill, Swift Shadow Strike, advanced to the intermediate skill, Phantom Strike.

"Gatomon is a Holy-type Pokémon in the Digimon universe, so it's reasonable for Luna Kindred to have the Light attribute."

In addition, the Moonlit Spirit Cat has mastered the intermediate-level light-type skill, Light Blade Slash.

Unfortunately, the [Puppy Roar] skill mastered by the Squirrel has disappeared from the skill pool.

That's true, what kind of behavior is it for a cat to growl like a puppy?

Finally, there are the experience points and evolution materials needed for the Moonlit Spirit Cat to evolve further.

"The Holy Spirit Core..." Lin Chen muttered to himself, then shook his head.

This was the first time he had heard the name, but that didn't matter. In order for the Moonlit Spirit Cat to evolve to the next stage as quickly as possible, he would try his best to collect this evolution material.

As Lin Chen examined the new data panel of the Radiant Moon Cat, the Radiant Moon Cat lowered its head slightly, its amethyst-like eyes looking at its completely transformed body with some unease.

It has long limbs, short white fur, fluffy triangular ears, and a bipedal body.

Everything was so unfamiliar, a far cry from the slumbering, four-legged dog form it had taken before.

It instinctively raised one of its front paws, then awkwardly lowered it, seemingly still unaccustomed to its new body structure and balance.

Finally, the Moonlit Spirit Cat raised its head and gave Lin Chen a nervous look: "Eek..."

"9

It doesn't know if Lin Chen will like it as it is now.

I love its furry ears, sharp claws, long tail, and its upright body.

Lin Chen slowly extended his warm palm, as always, and gently stroked the Moonlit Spirit Cat's head, which was covered with soft, short fur.

"Sticky Rice," he said, "you look even better after you evolved."

Feeling the familiar warmth of the large, warm hand and hearing Lin Chen's gentle voice, the Moonlit Spirit Cat's amethyst-like eyes suddenly brightened, and the unease from the deepest part of its heart dissipated quickly like a thin mist under the sunlight.

The slender tail adorned with the sacred ring began to sway gently and uncontrollably, no longer the joyful, large swings of its Tsumugi days, but rather a graceful, subtle tremor.

The pointed, triangular ears twitched slightly.

The Moonlit Cat didn't jump into Lin Chen's arms as it used to. Instead, it took two steps forward with still somewhat awkward but elegant steps, bringing its forehead closer to Lin Chen's warm palm and letting out a very soft "meow" sound.

Then it closed its eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the moment.

The Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus has been keeping an eye on the Moonlit Spirit Cat from beginning to end.

When it saw that the Moonlit Spirit Cat was still tiny, it breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just as it had expected, not every pet was a genius like itself, capable of evolving into a majestic and imposing form.

The Moonlit Spirit Cat's latest evolution further confirms its speculation.

Even if the Moonlit Spirit Cat successfully evolves, it will still be Lin Chen's most powerful, most trustworthy, and most reliable partner.

And it can evolve into its most powerful and domineering form. As for the Moonlit Spirit Cat, even if it evolves again, it will most likely remain in its current tiny form.

Thinking of this, the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Radiant Moon Spirit Cat.

Unable to contain their curiosity, Zhou Ming and the others gathered around to examine this unprecedented and unfamiliar pet up close.

"As expected, it's an unfamiliar pet not listed in the pet encyclopedia..." Zhang Xiaoxiao carefully examined the Moonlit Spirit Cat, then exclaimed, "Lin Chen, you've discovered a brand new evolutionary form."

She exclaimed a second time, "This is too fast!"

After her reflections, Zhang Xiaoxiao recalled every detail of the Moonlit Spirit Cat before its evolution and fell into deep thought.

If she remembered correctly, the evolution of the Radiant Moon Cat originated from that Holy Radiance Crystal Core.

Clearly, this is the essential evolutionary material for the Squirrel to evolve into its new form.

But what else?

Zhang Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, but couldn't recall any other evolution materials used before the Squirrel evolved, nor did she seem to have any special ritual.

In other words, does the evolution of the Squirrel only require a Holy Light Core?

"But how is that possible?" Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head, denying her own conjecture from the bottom of her heart.

The conditions for pet evolution are always complicated and diverse, requiring a reasonable combination of various evolution materials, rather than a simple accumulation of one or two evolution materials.

There must be some unknown special evolutionary conditions involved.

A single Holy Radiance Crystal Core is definitely not enough for the Squirrel to evolve.

"Brother Chen!"

Li Heng grabbed Lin Chen's shoulder, his expression exaggerated, and lowered his voice: "Tell me honestly, is there an old man in your head? Did he tell you these evolutionary paths that nobody knows?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming immediately retorted, "No, no! You're talking about fantasy tropes. If you ask me, Brother Chen must have accidentally inherited some lost ancient civilization's ruins and found an ancient evolutionary path that had long been lost to the annals of history!"

"Therefore, Flamethrower can evolve into Flamethrower Tyrannosaurus, and Squirrel can evolve into..."

""

Lin Chen spoke: "Radiant Moon Spirit Cat."

"Oh, so the Satsuki can evolve into the Moonlit Spirit Cat," Zhou Ming interjected.

Lin Chen smiled without saying a word.

Frankly speaking, it's a bit outrageous to show two completely new evolutionary forms in such a short time, but with the Dark Crisis about to descend, he couldn't care less about the momentary shock of others.

Upon hearing Zhou Ming's joke, Su Qingyuan lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow beneath them.

A thought suddenly occurred to her: "I see."

Just then, a rustling sound came from the surrounding pile of rocks.

The Shadowclaws, who had been scared away by the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus, had somehow sneaked back together.

This time, however, they were not hostile or fearful. Instead, they formed a loose circle at a distance, their eyes, which gleamed with an eerie light in the darkness, fixed intently on the Moonlit Spirit Cat.

"Meow~"

"Mimi~"

"Awoo~"

The cats' meows, each with a different tone, rose and fell, their voices no longer fierce but rather soft and sticky.

Even the leader-level Shadowcutter struggled to raise its head.

The moment it saw the Moonlit Spirit Cat, it seemed to be infused with new radiance; its fear faded considerably, replaced by an indescribable excitement.

The leader-level Shadowcutter completely forgot its previous crushing defeat and fear of the Flame Spine Tyrannosaurus, and actually used all its strength to crawl slowly towards the Radiant Moon Spirit Cat.

Every movement caused it to wince in pain from its wounds, but the fawning and longing in its eyes remained undiminished.

Finally, it stopped a few meters in front of the Moonlit Spirit Cat, lowered its head, and made an extremely soft cry, completely different from its previous frenzied and violent appearance.

Meow~

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Ming scanned all the Shadowcutter cats, then suddenly stroked his chin, his tone strange: "So this is a bunch of licking cats?"

The Shadowcats surrounded the Moonlit Spirit Cat in the center, raising their heads in unison to face the Moonlit Spirit Cat and the bright moon in the night sky, letting out long, sharp cries: "Meow~~~".

The moonlight cast countless shadows, creating a scene resembling a grand ceremony where thousands of cats paid homage.

However, faced with the eager gazes of the Shadowclaws and the humble fawning of their leader and the Shadowclaws, the Radiant Moon Cat merely glanced at them indifferently, its eyes devoid of any emotion.

It withdrew its gaze and focused its attention back on Lin Chen, its slender tail swaying gently.

"6

The leader-level Shadow Rift Cat froze in mid-air.

Seeing this, Lin Chen chuckled and ruffled the head of the Radiant Moon Cat: "It seems our Nuomi has quite the charm right now."

Upon hearing this, the Moonlit Spirit Cat quietly shifted its body, moving further away from the group of Shadow Rift Cats and closer to Lin Chen.
