Chapter 699: Steel Treasure, Evolved
Chapter 699: Steel Treasure, Evolved
Under the Eaves.
Evolution Light? Everyone’s eyes widened as they looked up at the white light in the sky, momentarily stunned.
Evolving from an Intermediate Familiar to an Advanced Familiar wasn’t a big deal in itself.
But in this situation, the evolution genuinely chilled everyone to the bone, making it hard to accept.
It was like a group of players teaming up to fight a boss, finally seeing a glimmer of hope, only for the boss to bounce back and become even stronger...
At that moment, someone said in a dazed tone:
"Did we end up helping her instead...?"
Everyone fell silent.
Indeed, there were plenty of examples of familiars evolving under battle pressure. Looking at Steel Guardian’s situation, it seemed to be the case here...
In the silence, another voice spoke up:
"Do you think she taunted us to force us into action, creating pressure for Steel Guardian to evolve..."
The words sent a chill down everyone’s spines, and many drew in a sharp breath.
It made sense!
She already had four familiars, two of which had reached General-Class. With that kind of strength, it was only a matter of time before everyone knew about it. Being the top freshman was a given, so there was no need to risk offending everyone.
But if this could make her familiar evolve to Advanced, it would be worth it!
She was using them as a catalyst for her Steel Guardian’s evolution!
After all, compared to offending people, a familiar’s evolution was far more important!
Terrifying!
This person was terrifying!
...
High in the sky.
The white light drew the attention of most of the familiars.
Noticing that the familiars playing with it were distracted, Treasure Seeker curiously looked in the direction they had turned their heads, peering through the gaps.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker saw Qiao Sang holding the white light and the various attribute attacks shooting down from above the light. Its eyes instantly widened, and a blue light flickered in them.
The next second, the white light and Qiao Sang vanished from their original positions.
"Xunxun..."
Fourth One had evolved, and its Beastmaster was in danger. Treasure Seeker realized that it was no longer time for play and immediately adopted a serious expression.
It extended its claws, revealing all its Short Toes.
Several shadows suddenly emerged from the tips of each Short Toe, rapidly expanding and splitting, spreading out in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, the shadows had entangled all the familiars surrounding it.
...
On the other side, Fangy’s claws were wrapped in shadows.
It opened its mouth and quickly spewed a burning Spinning Flame, aiming at the Flying-type Companion blocking its path.
The Flying-type Companion flapped its wings forcefully, flying higher to evade.
At that moment, Fangy saw Qiao Sang, who was holding the white light and plummeting down.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy was momentarily stunned, but its expression quickly turned fierce.
It bared its teeth, and the Flame Wings on its sides suddenly burned and expanded, its aura surging.
The surrounding familiars sensed the danger and took a step back.
But they immediately remembered their Beastmaster’s orders, suppressing their fear and starting to use their Skills.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy let out a thunderous roar, then slightly retracted its wings, its entire body engulfed in scorching flames as it dove down.
The shadows on its four claws tore apart like paper.
"Bang!!!"
Various attribute Skills collided, creating a deafening explosion.
The shockwave wreaked havoc, sending the familiars in the inner circle flying.
Fangy ignored the commotion behind it and immediately charged towards the white light and its Beastmaster.
But just as it was about to reach them, the white light and its Beastmaster vanished from sight.
"Ya!!!"
...
At the same time.
In the white mist, a light drizzle fell.
Xiyuan Coco and another Ghost Familiar, whose entire face consisted of a single eye, looked around cautiously, their expressions wary.
A droplet of water was quietly resting on Xiyuan Coco's back, unlike the others that slid downward.
"Teeth!!!"
At that moment, an alarmed and furious cry came from outside the White Mist.
The droplet, which seemed to be stuck, finally trembled. Immediately after, the surrounding temperature plummeted.
Almost in the next second, a layer of ice shell began to form on Xiyuan Coco's back, emitting a visible chill.
"Xixi!"
Xiyuan Coco let out a mournful cry.
The Ghost Familiar, with only one eye, instantly turned its head toward the source of the sound. It raised its claws and, without a word, condensed a black Shadow Orb and threw it over.
"Xixi!"
Xiyuan Coco cried out again.
Meanwhile, the droplet began to move downward along the range of the rain.
Suddenly, the "droplet" seemed to sense something and twisted and deformed.
Soon, a deep blue eye appeared in the droplet, looking down to the right.
"Icechill..."
Lulu was stunned.
Standing on the roof was her Beastmaster, along with a familiar she had never seen before but felt strangely familiar...
...
On the roof.
Qiao Sang found herself inexplicably transported here, realizing that the Treasure Seeker had seen her predicament.
A thought suddenly struck her, and she abruptly let go of her grip, lifting her head.
In her line of sight, a massive familiar appeared, its steel-like, shiny purple feathers blocking the sky. Its sharp fangs protruded from its lower jaw, and two silver protrusions adorned each side of its neck. Pale purple patterns circled its eyes, with the rest of its face encased in silver armor.
Steel Treasure had Evolved... Qiao Sang stared at Steel Treasure's new form, dumbfounded.
Honestly, she hadn't expected Steel Treasure to Evolve under these circumstances.
After all, Steel Treasure was on a completely new Evolution path, and no one knew what the next stage's triggers and conditions would be.
She had planned to directly allocate Points to make Steel Treasure Evolve, but Steel Treasure had Evolved before she could do so...
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure lowered its head, gently picked up its Beastmaster with its mouth, and placed her on its back.
Only then did Qiao Sang realize that Steel Treasure's post-Evolution size was over three meters, nearly four, significantly larger than the average three-meter Advanced Familiar.
It was the perfect candidate for Air Absorption practice... Qiao Sang couldn't help but think.
"Steel Slash."
Steel Treasure looked calmly at the familiars approaching from the sky.
It spread its wings, ready to leave.
"Xunxun!"
The next second, the Treasure Seeker teleported beside her, floating anxiously by her Beastmaster's side, inspecting her from all angles.
Then, a droplet of water fell, twisted, and transformed into Lulu.
"Icechill..."
Lulu looked at her Beastmaster, relieved to see she was unharmed. Her gaze then shifted to Steel Treasure, her eyes deepening, and her claws tightening involuntarily.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of security... Qiao Sang was about to speak when she felt the temperature around her rise significantly, as if she had entered a scorching summer day.
Qiao Sang looked up, her pupils contracting.
She saw a sky filled with Flame Rain, each drop carrying a terrifying destructive force, falling like a meteor shower.
The entire sky seemed to turn red in that moment.
Fangy stood beneath the Flame Rain, her face filled with anger.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
This scene shocked the Freshmen who had been under the eaves and the surrounding Seniors, causing them to panic, scream, and flee in a hurry.
Is this it? Will the Beastmaster Alliance send me back to Blue Star... Qiao Sang's mouth twitched, and her head throbbed.
"Steel Slash..."
Steel Treasure looked up at the scene, its heart finally relaxing as exhaustion washed over it.
Its body began to shrink, and its form changed.
Qiao Sang felt herself getting shorter.
She lowered her head and saw that Steel Treasure had reverted to its Steel Guardian form.
