17: Chapter 17 Howling Moon Evolution, Low-Grade Yellow

True · One stage a day.

Chi Anlin stood up, and a crackling sound came from all over his body, like popping beans, and his muscle lines became even more perfect.

This is just how body cultivators are, but Chi Anlin felt that his current appearance was already perfect; he wouldn't be called a "skinny dog," nor would he become a muscle monster like his father.

Wait, no, the problem is that the Insect Queen has broken through again?

Chi Anlin sensed it in his sea of consciousness; the spiritual core belonging to the Insect Queen was as bright as a small star.

It had already reached Mortal Rank Five.

Communicating with the Insect Queen again, Chi Anlin sighed. He had originally thought that with so many ants needing to hunt many demon beasts every day, a lot of crystal cores would be left behind.

But after all, the Red-legged Cultivating Fierce Ants would definitely not let go of the pure spiritual energy within the crystal cores, so the crystal cores were often even more attractive to these ants than the demon beast carcasses.

The backend was still constantly scrolling, but most of the kills were just some mortal rank first stage demon beasts; it would still take some time to accumulate them.

Closing the backend notification sound, Chi Anlin looked at the blood cocoon in the tent; during the time he had been breaking through, Xiao Yue should have finished its Fusion.

Less than two minutes later, the blood cocoon ruptured, turning into a pool of blood that entered Xiao Yue's body.

A surge of pure spiritual energy emerged again, continuing to strengthen Chi Anlin's physical body, pushing his realm toward the peak of Mortal Rank Three.

【 Name 】: Wind Snow Wolf

【 Attribute 】: Ice, Wind

【 Level 】: Mortal Rank Three

【 Potential 】: Yellow Rank Low-Grade

【 Skills 】:

Ice Seal: Mortal Rank Top-Grade, controls enemy movement, and continues to be affected by slowing effects after breaking free from the skill.

Gale Step: mortal rank mid-grade, consumes a certain amount of spiritual energy to double speed.

"Yellow Rank Low-Grade!" Chi Anlin widened his eyes. No wonder they say the rich rely on spending money and the lucky rely on mutation; this jump was too big.

Xiao Yue was now one meter tall, its fur even softer, and its azure eyes were filled with indifference. Chi Anlin felt it might be because it was an ice-attribute demon beast.

"Let's go, time to eat."

...

"Hiss, your demon beast is growing way too fast, right?" Xia Yan gasped. He had noticed Xiao Yue's changes during their escape, but he didn't expect it to have changed again after returning.

When a demon beast increases its strength during its juvenile period, there will be certain changes, similar to the physical changes when a body cultivator improves their strength.

But skipping two levels in such a short time was a bit strange.

He didn't know what quality of beast this Wolf Beast was. He was purely a Qi Cultivator and didn't know much about beast taming.

"Maybe it's because after the contract, my father gave it some medicinal pills, and after the rapid digestion from the battle, its strength improved," Chi Anlin explained very seriously.

"No wonder..." Xia Yan nodded and continued, "I've thought about today's events. I think we can cooperate well in hunting in the future. If we encounter a demon beast like the Senluo Poison Spider again, we can lure it to the valley that Ji Jiji found first."

"If we encounter an evenly matched demon beast, Wang Qiang, you set up formations around us to prevent it from escaping, and also to block those who are waiting for an easy catch."

"Chi Anlin's beast has reached Mortal Rank Three and already has the ability to participate in battle. Today's battle relied only on me, which was too inefficient and didn't allow everyone to get any training. So tomorrow, except for Little A, everyone must participate in the hunting."

The group began to discuss the battle plan, while Chi Anlin narrowed his eyes and walked to the side of the water pool.

He possessed the synthesis system, and the demon beasts he synthesized were all very loyal to him. However, due to the limited number of beast taming slots, he couldn't contract every demon beast.

For now, the Insect Queen and Xiao Yue were enough to meet the needs of this realm, and the distribution of blood energy was just right.

As his most frequently used beast, Xiao Yue not only possessed control skills but was also very fast. Even if they couldn't win, they could escape, so in the coming time, he would focus on improving these two aspects.

As for the Insect Queen, Chi Anlin felt he should let it have more unit types. After all, ants had great limitations, such as not being able to enter water, being afraid of fire, not being able to fly, etc.

The road ahead is long and arduous...

The current team could still rely on some compressed food to cope, but it would be troublesome after a long time. Chi Anlin thought about it very seriously and suddenly thought of the Insect Queen.

It wasn't that there were no wild beasts in the Small Insect World, but because there were too many insects, these wild beasts had become endangered animals.

Although they might not be able to find these wild beasts, the Insect Queen's ant army definitely could.

Just like that, everyone did their own thing, and before they knew it, the night grew deep.

"We had a great harvest today. I think the cost-effectiveness of going out to snatch crystal cores from others on the first night is not high, so we can hold our ground for a wave first."

Students who were hit hard in the morning might want to gain some psychological satisfaction among each other because they were unconvinced, so a large number of people would go out to snatch others' crystal cores. If they continued to go out to snatch crystal cores, it was very likely that their "home" would be stolen.

"I think I can go out and try. If I'm lucky and encounter a situation with few people, I can go directly to the crystal core land to snatch them," Ji Jiji actively suggested. As an assassin, the night was his protective color.

"Okay, be careful, don't get surrounded. The amulet only has three chances."

Chi Anlin's pupils flickered slightly. He notified the Insect Queen to come to the camp, preparing to let the Insect Queen and the White Devouring Ant Queen merge. If there really were guys who exceeded the team's strength coming to snatch crystal cores, he wouldn't be polite either.

Guarding the Insect Queen was an ant soldier of Mortal Rank Seventh Stage, which was also one of the few high-ranking Ant Soldiers in the nest.

After assigning their respective night watch times, Chi Anlin returned to the tent. He was the third person on night watch tonight, and this time period was relatively safer.

Before long, the Insect Queen entered his tent from underground.

If it were an ordinary demon beast appearing around the tent, it would easily be sensed by Xia Yan or Li Wen, but the Insect Queen was quite special, with an exceptionally powerful spiritual force, which caused none of them to notice it.

Compared to when it left before, the Insect Queen's size had grown a lot. Chi Anlin stroked its head. With the Insect Queen's current size, which was like a puppy, it was impossible to hide it on his body.

"Ding, do you want to merge 【Iron Fierce Ant Queen】 and 【White Devouring Ant Queen】?"

Required blood energy: 21000

Fusion success rate: 90%

Chi Anlin checked his blood energy. Currently, he still had about 25000 blood energy. The number of demon beasts hunted by the ant army in a day was quite considerable, making Chi Anlin feel once again that contracting the Insect Queen was a wise choice.

If it weren't for the Insect Queen, he could only bring the mortal rank first stage Xiao Yue to watch others fight from the sidelines.

"Fusion"

【Fusion started, remaining Fusion time: three hours】
