Chapter 475: Chapter 474: Changes in the Pet Beast Space

In an unknown space.

The intense sunlight beamed directly onto the yellow sand, the distant scenery slightly distorted by the high temperature.

A collection of dark brown volcanoes stood in the middle of the desert, with a vibrant forest to the east of the volcanoes.

Beyond that, the desolate desert had undergone two more changes.

To the north of the volcanoes, dark clouds loomed over, and the vast ocean made whooshing sounds of waves, with several icebergs floating above, and large chunks of ice colliding with each other under the beating of the waves. To the west of the volcanoes, the temperature was suitable, with large ferns spreading amongst the jutting rocks, filled with the aura of an ancient wilderness.

In the central peak of the volcanoes, the lava in the crater churned, constantly hitting the tall stone pillars in the middle.

The Space Rift slowly opened, and Qiuqiu appeared on the platform of the stone pillar.

The abundant fire elements slightly eased its pained expression, but the pulsating area on its back still made it unable to help but emit low moans.

“Ying~”

Qiuqiu’s claws dug into the rocks, its body continually expanding, and soon a full-grown creature about 4 meters in length lay on the platform of the stone pillar.

Boom!

The surging magma slapped viciously against the stone pillar, making a sound like muffled thunder.

Countless dark red magma, as if pulled by a magnet, flowed upwards along the cracks of the pillar.

The bulge on Qiuqiu’s shoulder blades became more prominent, and each time its bones collided with a crack sound, it couldn’t help but twitch.

The upwelling magma gathered beneath Qiuqiu and flowed through the crevices of its Scale Armor.

“Roar!”

A majestic roar exploded over the volcanoes, Qiuqiu suddenly opened its eyes, and the golden-red vertical pupils danced with flames.

Hiss–

Blood splattered as two wounds split open on its shoulder blades, as if something was trying to break free.

Qiuqiu trembled in pain, it glanced at the nutrient potion beside it and swallowed it whole, the intense heat instantly melting the container.

Having received the nutrient supplement, Qiuqiu’s sharp claws pierced into the rock. It raised its head and roared, venting the pain throughout its body as the surging fire elements around it grew denser and denser.

Rumbling!

Under the influence of this power, the lava in the volcano’s crater stirred up giant waves that continuously battered Qiuqiu’s body.

Each slap solidified the energy cocoon on its body even further.

Meanwhile, the entire space was affected.

The volcanoes emitted thunderous low roars, and thick black smoke billowed skyward.

The trembling of the earth caused gusts of wind that whipped up the yellow sand, forming a sky-darkening sandstorm that enveloped the entire cluster of volcanoes.

In the forest to the east stood a huge ancient tree, whose green canopy covered half the forest.

Fluorescent lights twinkled on the ancient tree, and a girl’s silhouette slowly emerged from the trunk.

Lingling rubbed her eyes, “LuLu, what’s happening duck?”

Hearing Lingling’s voice, the fawn lying under the ancient tree for a nap quickly jumped onto the trunk.

It stood next to Lingling and shook its ears, its eyes like stars looking towards the central region of the volcanoes.

The sky-darkening yellow sand blocked its view, and the fawn closed its eyes to sense the surroundings.

A moment later, it opened its eyes and turned to Lingling.

“Qiuqiu is evolving.”

“Ah!” Lingling was delighted at first, then her little face fell, “Is the ugly lizard going to get stronger again?”

“Damn, Lingling also wants to fight alongside the Duke…” Lingling lowered her head, her voice growing quieter.

Seeing its downcast look, the fawn was about to comfort it when Lingling suddenly clenched her fists, a stubborn look on her face as she stared at the distant sandstorm, “Lingling won’t give up, I’ll become stronger! Someday I will surpass, um… catch up with the ugly lizard!”

After saying this, Lingling opened her hands and took a few steps back, her body melting into the ancient tree like water.

The fawn looked at the place where Lingling disappeared and then at the thick black smoke in the distance, heaving a human-like sigh.

Jumping down from the ancient tree, it lay down next to the twisted roots, its head hanging low, with a luminescent green light emanating from its antlers.

In the warm green light, the flowers and plants around the ancient tree thrived even more, and even the moss covering the roots bloomed with tiny buds.

After all, it didn’t want to admit defeat either!

The ground continued to tremble, as the stones in the western stone forest near the volcano chain hopped up and down.

Under a fern-covered boulder, a pair of amber vertical pupils suddenly opened.

Yaya stared blankly at the distant volcanoes, a glint of longing flashing through its eyes, then turning desolate.

In the battle two days ago, each of its companions had participated, but Yaya had been the only one not allowed to go.

This made Yaya feel very disappointed.

Reflecting on its own performance in that competition, Yaya felt deeply self-reproachful.

The opponents were clearly very weak, yet when facing them, it didn’t dare to move at all. It was only with the help of its innate abilities that it finally mustered the courage to fight.

Perhaps, it was very disappointed in itself.

Thinking this, Yaya stood up from among the rocks, with broken stones rolling off its uneven back.

It didn’t look towards the volcano again, but instead, its amber vertical pupils locked firmly on a distant pillar of stone,

“Roar!”

A domineering roar erupted, as Yaya took heavy steps and charged fiercely towards the pillar.

Boom!

Once.

Twice.

Yaya kept hurling itself against the rock, and with the aid of the wind element, its speed grew faster and faster.

Boom!

Finally, the entire rock exploded with a bang, shattered stones flying everywhere, the sound of the crumbling pillar spreading out like rolling thunder.

Amid the trembling, waves rose on the Ice Ocean to the north, Crystal Fish startled and leaping chaotically on the water’s surface, shimmering with a crystalline luster.

“Meow~”

A lynx, off the record, lay at the edge of the Ice Ocean. What was once delicious food had lost its appeal, its fluffy paws tightly hugging its head.

This group of powerhouses was too frightening.

It was just a cute little kitty, so why did it have to live with these overwhelming figures!

Dark clouds churned over the Ice Ocean, and an ice egg atop an iceberg cracked open a fissure amidst the noise.

…

After sitting on the bed for a while, there came a knocking at the door.

Jian Dan packed up his belongings and Shao Zifeng got up to open the door.

A man in a suit stood at the doorway, “Mr. Shao, may we depart now?”

Shao Zifeng nodded, knowing this was the driver sent by Han Jiugong.

The young man took Shao Zifeng’s luggage from his hand, bowed slightly, then gestured for Shao Zifeng to follow.

Sitting in the car, the streetscape swiftly receded, Shao Zifeng boredly watched out the window.

To facilitate those affected by disaster, many temporary service points of the Abnormal Administration Bureau had been established nearby.

At that moment, the appearance of a mother and her son caught Shao Zifeng’s attention.

The little boy, carrying breakfast, stood hesitantly at the service point, glancing towards his mother from time to time.

The mother seemed to be encouraging him with her words.

Finally, the little boy mustered his courage, walked up to the duty officer of the Abnormal Administration Bureau, and handed him the breakfast.

The officer was startled, accepted the breakfast, and then saluted the little boy.

The boy clumsily returned the salute, then shyly ran off.

Seeing this, a smile unconsciously spread across Shao Zifeng’s face.
