Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 36 Unexpected Reaction

"General Ji?"

Her voice was very hoarse, and she felt weak all over.

While battling the deer, she felt full of energy and forgot all about the pain.

Now, the pain comes rushing in, wave after wave, densely and relentlessly drilling into my heart.

"Awake?" General Ji, who had just sat on the edge of the bed, propping his head up with his hand, heard Jiang Feng's hoarse voice. He stood up slightly flustered, looked around, and asked, "Would you like some hot water?"

"Thank you." Hearing the voice, Jiang Feng opened her eyes, and a cup of hot water was handed to her.

She was just thinking about how to answer questions related to the Illusionary Realm.

Instead, take the initiative and ask: "Why am I in the hospital?"

She reached out to take the water, but halfway up, she remembered that her hands were raw and chafed from playing with the deer.

"I'll hold it, you drink it." A disposable straw was inserted into the cup, and General Ji held the cup and placed the water in front of Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng looked puzzled, but his throat was very uncomfortable, so he could only lower his head and drink water.

"Your injuries aren't serious, and you should be able to be discharged in a few days." General Ji spoke calmly, as if chatting with someone. "Don't worry about the phantom beasts. When we brought you out, the instructors already caught a White Flash Moth for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately stopped drinking water and coughed twice.

The cough caused her to ache all over her body.

Jiang Feng hissed.

It really hurts!

General Ji immediately placed the water glass on the table and looked at Jiang Feng: "Your injuries were from fighting the phantom beast, weren't they?"

"Having only cultivated illusionary power for two days, you dare to recklessly fight a phantom beast? Really—"

General Ji took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly: "Now you know what pain is?"

Jiang Feng tilted his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

She saw worry, and other deeper emotions, in the other person's eyes.

This General Ji was the guardian deity of their Jinyang City, but he later died in battle.

She naturally admired such heroes, but in their previous lives, they had never had any contact.

"I already have a phantom beast," Jiang Feng said in a low voice, while observing the reaction of General Ji beside him.

"You already have a phantom beast?" General Ji frowned. "Were your injuries from fighting the phantom beast you contracted with?"

After witnessing the scene, everyone felt that Jiang Feng was lucky; the phantom beast that fought with Jiang Feng hit its head and then ran away.

Or, according to the two team leaders, all the people and the magical beasts were mentally manipulated by the birth of that magical treasure.

The other phantom beast regained its senses and left on its own. Or perhaps it didn't regain its senses and simply fled in panic after the collision, getting lost in the fog.

He had already heard the two team leaders recount the situation. While everyone else was affected, only Jiang Feng remained steadfast and clear-headed.

However, according to the beast tamer who owned the curly-haired turtle, she had lost her mind at the time and wanted to protect Jiang Feng like she would protect her other classmates, so she released the [Bubble] skill on Jiang Feng.

Then, Jiang Feng dodged and walked into the increasingly dense fog.

Therefore, the beast tamer of the curly-haired turtle was also very annoyed. After returning, he stayed to treat Jiang Feng and only just left.

"Yes, it's a fighting deer."

"A deer fight?" General Ji raised his voice.

"I dodged the bubbles and entered the fog." She pursed her lips and looked at the water glass next to her.

She felt that the team leader must have been affected as well. Judging from her actions of trying to protect everyone even after being affected, she would definitely reveal the bubble incident after she regained her senses.

Sure enough, General Ji nodded and then brought the water glass to her lips: "Drink slowly."

"Mm." Jiang Feng nodded slightly, trying not to aggravate his wounds.

After taking a sip of water, his throat felt much better. Jiang Feng continued, "I couldn't see clearly in the fog, and as I walked, the fighting deer appeared behind me."

Later, she omitted the story of the black egg and the herb, and told General Ji about her game with the fighting deer.

After listening to Jiang Feng's words, General Ji remained silent, staring at her for a long time before sighing, "Courageous and resourceful, very good."

Jiang Feng blinked, feeling that he had said those words through gritted teeth.

"Since you've already formed a contract with the phantom beast, we'll deal with the white flashing moth that was left for you." General Ji saw that Jiang Feng had already finished drinking the water in his hand, picked up the water glass, stood up, and poured her another glass.

"General Ji, is everyone else alright? I fell into a deep sleep after making the pact with Dou Lu. Are the two team leaders alright?"

The situation did look terrible at the time, but there was nothing she could do. Standing there might have only caused trouble for the two team leaders.

"Everyone is fine, except that one student forcibly made a contract with the Firefly Flower, which damaged his mental sea and made him unable to become a Beastmaster."

After saying this, General Ji became much more serious, even raising his voice: "As beast tamers, we should always act within our capabilities! Don't risk your lives!"

It sounded like he was talking to her.

Jiang Feng nodded obediently.

He muttered to himself, "I calculated it all; it's bound to get stuck."

"What did you say?" General Ji placed the water on the table next to him and slammed it down.

Jiang Feng shook his head slightly, "No, it's nothing."

"I've already sent someone to fetch your Grey Cloud Wolf. A caregiver will come to look after you later. You can leave once your injuries have healed," General Ji said before walking out.

Stepping outside, Jiang Feng seemed to overhear something about "being audacious" and "teaching her a lesson for a few more days."

Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips.

Once the noise outside subsided, Jiang Feng looked around.

It was already dark outside, and I had no idea how long she had been unconscious.

Inside the Beast Realm, the Fighting Deer was lying down asleep, its testicles still floating in the black 'fish eye,' as if it were asleep.

The moment she came into contact with the fighting deer, she saw the attribute information related to fighting deer.

【Species】Fighting deer (juvenile)

[Rank] Elite

[Skill] Glowing

[Phantom Beast's Preferences] Maintaining horns, red bean fruit

[Evolutionary Direction] Fighting Deer (Adult)

[Advanced Requirements] 20 Light Stones, 10 Glowing Grasses, 1 Tier 3 Light-type Illusion Crystal

It was because he saw all this that Jiang Feng dared to fight the fighting deer with all his might.

Only then would they dare to promise the other party that they would help them advance in their cultivation level when making a contract with them.

After all, the near-transparent plant doesn't seem to be among its advancement requirements.

But what exactly is that transparent plant? And why does it arouse certain desires and thoughts in people and magical beasts?

After the black egg was eaten, its shell seemed to crack a bit. Could it be that it can promote its advancement?

However, the requirements for Egg's advancement seem to be: Dark Spirit Heart, 100 Dark Stones, and Water Without Light.

Is that grass the Heart of Darkness?

It doesn't look dark at all.

However, she should be able to find out when Black Egg wakes up?

Jiang Feng closed his eyes slightly, the pain in his body was somewhat unbearable.

Then, a "woof~" sound came from outside the door.

Jiang Feng opened his eyes and looked expectantly towards the door.
