Chapter 259: Treasure Hunter Demon
Chapter 259: Treasure Hunter Demon
It happened two days earlier than she expected. It seems the Treasure Seeker caught quite a few ants today. Qiao Sang muttered to herself and immediately added the Level Points to [Junior (992/1000)].
Now that the Treasure Seeker's Hypnosis had reached Mastery, it was time to prepare for Evolution.
"Xun"
At the same moment, the Treasure Seeker, who was searching for ants in the Courtyard, felt a sudden surge of energy within its body.
Before the Treasure Seeker could think much about it, it spotted an ant slowly crawling by not far away.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker immediately called out excitedly.
I found you!
The next day.
In the Courtyard.
Qiao Sang held her mobile phone and started recording a video of the Treasure Seeker.
"Xun"
In the video, the Treasure Seeker's head suddenly filled the entire screen.
"Don't get so close. Just keep doing what you're doing", Qiao Sang said, moving the Treasure Seeker's head, which was pressing against the camera, to the side.
"Xun?"
The Treasure Seeker tilted its head.
What is she filming?
"My intuition tells me you'll Evolve today, so I want to record your current appearance. We can look back at it later", Qiao Sang explained.
Evolve? Today?!
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker was initially stunned, then its face lit up with excitement as it spun around in midair.
The next moment, it teleported in front of Fangy, who was preparing to cast Mars Rain.
"Xunxun!"
"Ya!"
Fangy was startled, and the energy he was condensing inside his body dissipated from the shock.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy looked at the Treasure Seeker, about to assume his big brother role and give it a lecture, but then he remembered what the Treasure Seeker had said.
"Ya?"
Fangy's eyes widened, and his face showed a "really?" expression.
"Xun!"
The Treasure Seeker nodded solemnly.
Absolutely true!
My Beastmaster wouldn't lie!
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy used Psychic Power to bring the Treasure Seeker in front of him, mimicking how Qiao Sang usually patted its head with his paw.
Not bad, you little guy, you're actually going to Evolve!
"Xun"
After being patted a couple of times, the Treasure Seeker teleported to the side and pouted.
Big Brother, can't you tell your paws are covered in dirt?
Before Fangy could react, the Treasure Seeker teleported to Aquariana, who was doing the backstroke in the pond, to show off.
"Xunxun!"
Aquariana opened one eye, glanced at the Treasure Seeker, and then closed it again, showing no interest.
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker, unwilling to give up, repeated what it had just said.
"Lulu."
Aquariana didn't even open her eyes, merely calling out in a perfunctory manner to show congratulations.
"Xun"
The Treasure Seeker's excitement faded by more than half.
Why did she act so calm when she heard I'm going to Evolve?
"Xun"
The Treasure Seeker pouted and teleported back to its Beastmaster's side.
Unbeknownst to it, after it left, Aquariana opened one eye and secretly watched.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Sang asked, noticing the Treasure Seeker's mood.
"Xunxun."
The Treasure Seeker, still young and unable to hide its feelings, told Qiao Sang everything that had just happened.
It couldn't understand why Aquariana remained so calm upon hearing about its impending Evolution.
Qiao Sang glanced in Aquariana's direction.
Aquariana, who was secretly watching, stiffened and quickly closed her eyes.
Qiao Sang withdrew her gaze and chuckled softly, "I can guarantee that when you Evolve, Aquariana won't be as calm as she's acting now."
"Xun?"
Treasure Seeker looked puzzled.
Really?
"Really", Qiao Sang smiled. "I'll record its expression when it Evolves and show it to you later."
Although she hadn't spent as much time with Aquariana as with Fangy and Treasure Seeker, she had come to understand Aquariana's personality quite well.
Aquariana, aside from being more expressive about Fangy, generally had a tsundere-like demeanor, often saying one thing but meaning another.
"Xun~"
Treasure Seeker, hearing her Beastmaster's words, covered her mouth and nodded with a giggle.
Qiao Sang held her mobile phone in one hand and gently patted Treasure Seeker's head with the other, saying softly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if Aquariana is calm or not. Didn't you initially want to Evolve to get stronger for me to replenish your energy?"
"You've done it, and that's enough, isn't it?"
"Xun"
Treasure Seeker stared blankly at her Beastmaster, recalling her original motivation and the reason why she had suddenly become so eager to train.
"Xun!"
Treasure Seeker nodded vigorously.
The next moment, a beam of white light suddenly enveloped Treasure Seeker's entire body.
Damn! The Evolution Light!
Is it Evolving already?!
It's only morning, right?!
According to the Points' progress, it should have Evolved by evening!
Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned by Treasure Seeker's sudden Evolution but quickly regained her composure. She adjusted her emotions, took a few steps back, and found the perfect angle to start recording.
Fangy ran over to watch, while Aquariana swam to the edge of the pond, eyes shining brightly as it stared intently at Treasure Seeker.
Qiao Sang, noticing Aquariana's reaction, remembered her promise to Treasure Seeker.
She quietly switched to panoramic mode, zoomed in on Aquariana's position, and gave it a close-up of its face.
As the white light began to fade, Qiao Sang quickly refocused the camera on Treasure Seeker.
The white light dissipated.
In the mobile phone's screen, a familiar appeared: it was not too large, mostly gray in color, with golden yellow eyes. Its hair, like Ghost Flame, floated backward in the wind, with the tips matching the color of its eyes. It wore a golden ring earring on each ear.
The golden earrings and distinctive hairstyle added a noble air to the newly transformed Treasure Seeker.
But this noble aura soon vanished.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker excitedly floated over to Qiao Sang, rubbing its face against hers.
"Wait a moment!"
Qiao Sang stopped recording, pocketed her mobile phone, and carefully examined Treasure Seeker, who was now hovering in front of her.
"Xun?"
Treasure Seeker blinked in confusion.
"Why do I feel like you're half the size you were before Evolving?" Qiao Sang asked hesitantly.
Logically, Treasure Seeker should have doubled in size after Evolving into a Treasure Hunter Demon, but it now appeared smaller than when it was a Treasure Seeker.
Also,
"Your hair color is off", Qiao Sang noted, a bit bewildered.
She had, of course, done her research on the Treasure Hunter Demon form of Treasure Seeker.
The form and hairstyle were correct, matching the Treasure Hunter Demon she had seen online, but the color of the hair tips was wrong.
A normal Treasure Hunter Demon's hair tips should be copper yellow, but Treasure Seeker's were a striking golden yellow in the sunlight.
This change was, well, too cool!
