51: Little Gu evolves again
After returning to Baiyue City, Chen Fei immediately rushed to the contribution point exchange area to swap for the Sky Crystal Bloodline.
The Sky Crystal Bloodline is considered one of the top Bloodlines within the stone element.
Whether it was Xing Shaoshan's Nine-Turn Crystal Snake or the Sky Crystal Giant Dragon that Chi Yu once projected, both displayed extraordinary traits and abilities.
Chen Fei was filled with anticipation, wondering what kind of changes would occur now that Little Gu was devouring this Bloodline.
[For this evolution, you can choose 6 categories from the following 9: Poison, Devour, Gu, Reproduction, Zerg Command, Physical Strengthening, Speed, Perception, and Control.]
[Pick 6 out of the 9 categories!]
There wasn't much to choose; he would stick with the previous ones and simply add 'Control'.
"Little Gu, Devour the Sky Crystal Ant King's Bloodline!"
Then, Chen Fei gathered 400,000 slaughter value points and slammed them all into Little Gu's body.
Instantly, a brilliant light erupted!
Seeing that things were getting intense, Chen Fei immediately transferred it into the Sacred Codex Space.
The commotion this time was no smaller than the one Chi Yu had caused.
After all, this was an evolution from A-grade Aptitude to S-grade Aptitude; its life level was about to undergo its first major leap.
"Gu~~"
Little Gu rolled in pain as its physical body seemed to undergo Decomposition before being reconstructed.
The cycle repeated continuously, bringing a level of pain that surpassed what most physical bodies could endure.
Both Chi Yu and Wu Yun felt a bit apprehensive.
Chen Fei could not provide any assistance during this evolution process; it all depended on Little Gu itself.
And Little Gu could be said to be the one most afraid of death among everyone present; how could it allow itself to die like this?
Its obsession with living was not something a single evolution could stop.
Finally, as the light faded, Little Gu's new form was revealed.
Its appearance hadn't changed much, but it had gained a pair of wings.
From now on, Little Gu would be able to fly freely.
Its entire body was covered in crystal-like armor, much like the Nine-Turn Crystal Snake.
However, while the Nine-Turn Crystal Snake's armor was a brilliant diamond color, Little Gu's crystal armor was a darker, blackish hue.
Not only did Chen Fei not find it ugly, he thought it was perfect.
If it was going to be a proper assassin, making itself shiny and bright would just be asking for trouble!
Instead, this appearance allowed it to move through the night without being detected.
[Aptitude Upgrade: Evolved from A-grade to S-grade.]
[Myriad Poison Gu King has evolved into... Nether Crystal Gu King.]
[Comparative Advantages:]
[1. All skill effects have been significantly enhanced.]
[2. The ten special incubation Gu have evolved through feedback into... Incubation Broodmothers.]
[(Daily incubation capacity increased from 100 to 1,000 units.]
[This is provided that sufficient energy is available from Devoured Spiritual Qi, Spirit Stone energy, etc., to reach the incubation limit.)]
[3. The Second Generation Bugs hatched by the Incubation Broodmothers will also possess incubation abilities, capable of hatching 1 unit per day.]
[4. Due to the Fusion with the Sky Crystal Ant King's Bloodline, it has gained the Ant King Wings.]
[Attribute changes: Added Crystal system and Flying system.]
[5. Acquired the Crystal system skill of the Sky Crystal Ant King... Gravity Crystal (Entry-Level).]
It had to be said that Little Gu's evolution this time was simply too powerful.
Going from dual attributes to four attributes meant it could learn many more skills.
Even putting the Ant King Wings aside, it had actually gained an extra skill.
[Gravity Crystal: Can construct crystals with a gravitational field.]
[Once activated, the gravitational field is immediately released until the energy within the crystal is exhausted, at which point the field disappears.]
[This crystal can be retrieved and recharged with energy for further use.]
[Note: Due to low skill proficiency, the current gravity multiplier is: 2x.]
[Crystal energy duration: 10 seconds.]
Chen Fei's eyes sparkled; this skill was definitely not weak.
Having a gravitational field wasn't that rare, as many Yao Beasts possessed them, but they were generally released with the user as the center.
The strength of this skill lay in its flexibility.
He could lure enemies into a specific area and then remotely control the crystal to trigger the gravitational field.
It was an excellent skill for ambushes and would definitely help Little Gu go far in the profession of assassination.
Besides Gravity Crystal, Chen Fei planned to have Little Gu learn a few more Crystal system skills.
Crystal Shuttle was an escape skill currently comparable to Shadow Stealth.
Furthermore, Crystal Shuttle didn't just allow the pet to escape; it could also take the Beast Tamer along.
A must-learn.
He just didn't know if Little Gu could learn it with its Comprehension Ability.
It seemed he needed to prepare more bodhi fruits!
Crystal Shield, Crystal Manipulation, and Crystal Arrow Rain were relatively common Crystal system skills that were easier to learn but had infinite uses... Little Gu vibrated its wings, attempting to fly, but immediately face-planted.
But it was not discouraged. After repeated attempts, it finally rose unsteadily into the air.
Although its flight was unstable and its trajectory was "touching," it had nevertheless managed to fly.
Even Chi Yu and Wu Yun felt a small pang of envy.
"Chen Fei, I'm flying! Hahaha..."
"I'll take you guys flying in the future!"
At this moment, Little Gu felt its life as a bug had reached its Peak.
Watching the excited Little Gu, Chen Fei was also infected by its joy, and the matter of Evil King No. 6 was temporarily pushed to the back of his mind.
As for the Flying system, Little Gu's Ant King Wings were very small, not enough to flap and create storms like other bird-type Yao Beasts, nor could it use wing-based attack skills.
In that case, it would learn the skill Flowing Light Phantom to increase its flight speed.
This skill allowed for a second burst of acceleration, and the higher the proficiency, the better it could hide its form.
Combined with Chen Fei's Hidden Origin Art, its stealth would be greatly enhanced, allowing Little Gu to approach enemies silently.
Looking at Little Gu constantly fluttering in the air, and Chi Yu and Wu Yun licking their paws...
For a moment, Chen Fei felt a surge of heroic pride.
Three S-grade beast pets—such a lineup already surpassed countless people and even stood at the absolute top.
In his past life, he wouldn't have even been worthy of carrying his current self's shoes.
"Just wait, Headless Angel. Give me a little more time, and we'll see which of us ends up dead..."
...Knock knock!
Chen Fei knocked on Chen Qingyun's door.
Chen Qingyun glared at him. "Let me state this beforehand: I have no more contribution points."
Chen Fei chuckled, not knowing the meaning of embarrassment at all. "Am I that kind of person?
I came this time to see the Six-Eared Clear Sound Bat. Dad's beast pet is just too cool."
Being praised by his son like this, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but feel a bit proud.
What father wouldn't want his son to admire him!
Chen Qingyun summoned the Six-Eared Clear Sound Bat.
"Dad, for the Sonic system, which skills are the strongest and most useful?"
Chen Qingyun had actually researched this area:
"Sonic Boom Shockwave, Sonic Blade Storm, Sonic Barrier... these are all relatively common Sonic system skills that normal Sonic system Yao Beasts can learn.
But some sonic skills are quite special, like Withering Sonic, which carries the breath of death within the sound waves and can weaken the opponent's vitality. Such skills are relatively eerie.
As for the stronger ones, for example, Ultrasound—when proficiency is high enough, it emits sound waves that humans and even Yao Beasts cannot hear. It's equivalent to being silent and formless, so it naturally becomes powerful..."
While Chen Qingyun was talking eloquently, Chen Fei took advantage of his lack of attention to secretly summon Wu Yun, letting it touch the Six-Eared Clear Sound Bat to begin the Replication of skills.
This was the true purpose of Chen Fei's visit...
