212: Yug, what happened?

Du Ruo was startled by the Qilin's transformation. The Silver Fire Dragon and Black Marsh were on high alert, and even Bing Dwen Dwen on her head was scared and shrank into a ball.

“It's fine. It's just Bloodline Awakening. Don't worry, we are essentially the benefactors who freed it.”

Hearing the Consultant say this, Du Ruo finally put her heart at ease.

Not long after, the electric light gradually dissipated, revealing the Qilin’s majestic body.

“Thank you for helping me break free from control!”

The Qilin’s voice was deep and powerful, like thunder from the horizon.

The Consultant waved his hand, appearing very humble.

“Not at all, I merely provided a small amount of assistance.”

The Qilin nodded, and a faint glow drifted from its forehead, slowly flying into the bodies of Bing Dwen Dwen and the Consultant.

“This is our destiny. Please accept this small token of appreciation.”

With that, before the Consultant and the others could react, the Qilin let out a long cry, spread the wings on its back, and soared toward the distant sky.

“Now, I must go settle accounts with the Fan Family!”

Seriously, it left after only saying a couple of words!

The Consultant scratched his head, feeling a sudden surge of powerful energy within his body.

【Pet Compatibility: Bing Dwen Dwen (Compatibility has reached max level), Black Marsh 22%.】

【Mastered Abilities: Observation, Power of Dominion, Beast Taming Knowledge, Power of Lightning.】

Holy crap!

The Consultant was shocked. As expected of a Divine Beast, after receiving its gift, the Consultant’s attributes had basically doubled, and even his Lightning Resistance was maxed out!

Thinking of this, the Consultant rubbed the top of Bing Dwen Dwen's head.

【Soul-Bound Pet: Bing Dwen Dwen (Slime Divine Beast Blessing Form).】

【Pet Personality: Absolute Neutrality.】

【Pet Level: Level 50.】

【Since the Slime now possesses multiple attributes, they cannot coexist. It can only choose to switch forms according to the Master's command.】

【Pet Attributes: Current Base Form (Normal), Other Forms (Water, Lightning, Poison, Magic Power, Dragon, Normal).】

【Pet Species: Slime Series.】

【The System's evaluation of this is... This is the first Slime in history to be blessed by a Divine Beast. It is uniquely favored, and its future is boundless!】

Not bad, not bad. I vigorously rubbed Bing Dwen Dwen's head, and the little thing rubbed against my hand in response.

“Silver Fire, what is your evaluation of that Qilin just now?”

The Consultant was suddenly very curious about the Silver Fire Dragon's opinion on the Qilin after its Bloodline Awakening.

“My evaluation is a three-seven split. He's a lucky fellow.”

The Silver Fire Dragon’s tone carried a strange meaning, perhaps... jealousy.

“Alas, having a 70% chance of victory is still pretty good.”

Du Ruo, standing nearby, comforted the Silver Fire Dragon, unaware that she had just stabbed a knife into its heart.

“The 70% belongs to him!”

The Silver Fire Dragon felt depressed and indicated that it just wanted to be alone.

“I’m afraid that even if we teamed up, we wouldn’t be a match for that Qilin just now.”

Black Marsh squinted, looking toward the sky where the Qilin had departed.

“That’s just his destiny. Alright, things happen. We still have our own business to attend to.”

The Consultant stretched vigorously. Although the interlude was dangerous, the outcome was good.

At some point, the wind had picked up.

The Consultant and the others proceeded in the direction indicated by Silver Fire, which was deep inside the forest.

“Hey, did the sky get darker?”

As he walked, the Consultant felt that something wasn't right, and he looked up.

“What’s wrong?”

The Consultant, who was walking ahead, stopped. Du Ruo behind him couldn't help but ask, following the Consultant’s gaze upward.

A huge black shadow was falling from the sky!

“Boom—!”

The giant black shadow crashed down from the sky, slamming heavily into the forest not far from the Consultant and the others.

“Yuge!”

The Silver Fire Dragon, who had been sitting quietly in Du Ruo's arms, suddenly let out a mournful cry, then flapped its wings and flew recklessly toward the crashing black shadow.

“Let’s go, let’s check it out!”

The Consultant and the others quickly followed. The spot where the black shadow fell was not far; they arrived in just a few minutes.

“Hiss—!”

What a tragic sight!

The Consultant couldn't help but gasp, contributing his part to global warming.

【Monster Name: Eternal Crystal—Crystal Dragon】

【Level: Level 80.】

【Species: Wyvern Species.】

【Personality: Lawful Neutral.】

【Introduction: An ancient and mysterious giant dragon. Legend says that powerful Crystal Dragons even possess the power to freeze time, but unfortunately, reproduction is a major issue.】

【The System's evaluation of this is... This Crystal Dragon is being eroded by corruption power. Say something if you can, or maybe deal with it quickly...】

【Special Notice: The Emerald Dreamscape seems to have undergone unexpected changes.】

The Crystal Dragon before them was practically on its deathbed. Its originally aesthetic wings had been brutally broken in the middle, and there was not a single patch of good flesh on its body.

More fatally, the surface of the Crystal Dragon was covered with a layer of intense black, giving off an ominous feeling, as if even sunlight would be swallowed by that pure darkness.

“Yuge, what happened!”

The Silver Fire Dragon roared furiously, the flames in its eyes seemingly ready to incinerate everything.

“Too late, too late...”

Crystal Dragon Yuge muttered, the black spreading towards its only remaining exposed head.

It had already resigned itself to death, but upon hearing the Silver Fire Dragon's voice, a light suddenly burst forth from its lifeless eyes!

“Silver Fire! Kill me quickly! Then run away fast!”

Silver Fire was stunned, looking at Crystal Dragon Yuge in disbelief.

“What did you say?!”

Crystal Dragon Yuge gave a miserable smile, using its remaining strength to make one final request to its old friend.

“Kill me, leave no trace. I am being corrupted! Kill me now!”

The black representing the power of corruption had already covered Crystal Dragon Yuge's lower jaw. This noble and sacred Crystal Dragon had finally reached the end of its life.

“Alright!”

The Silver Fire Dragon's eyes were crimson as it fulfilled Yuge's final request.
