Mythical Era: My Evolution into a Celestial Beast

Chapter 305: The Demon King Takes Action, Over 10,000 Attribute Points, Space Feathered Horn (II)

Bai Yungeng and Xu Xiaoqi were managing the concert set up, so the next day, at Qingqiu Mingyue’s invitation, Yan Ruoyi, Chen Chu, and Li Daoyi visited the largest natural park in Qingshan City, which also served as a breeding ground for mutated foxes.

In a clean and tidy glass room, Qingqiu Mingyue squatted down, holding a small, fluffy white fox about the size of a puppy in her arms.

"Sister Ruoyi, this is the latest breed, the Three-Tailed Snow Fox. Although it was just born, it’s already a level 1 mutated creature in terms of classification."

Qingqiu Mingyue stroked the small fox, which let out a child-like whimper, its small face showing a human-like enjoyment.

There was also a two-tailed white fox, over five meters long and eight meters including its tails, lazily lying in its den nearby. It didn’t mind its child being held and played with by a human. In fact, when it looked at Qingqiu Mingyue, there was a hint of affection, as it sensed the aura of a king from her.

Yan Ruoyi squatted down too, her eyes shining with excitement. "Such a cute fox, Mingyue, let me hold it."

"Mhmm, mhmm, go slowly, Sister Ruoyi. It's a bit shy."

While the two women played with the small fox, Chen Chu, wearing sunglasses and looking every bit the bodyguard, stood quietly at the door, his gaze shifting from the two large... no, from the small fox.

Beside him, Li Daoyi, dressed in a Daoist robe, leaned against the wall, looking at the mutated foxes in the glass rooms along the corridor, somewhat surprised.

"Baihu’s research on mutated foxes has developed so much, to be able to stably breed three-tailed foxes with such high potential. These mutated creatures are very intelligent. Raising them from a young age makes them excellent companion beasts, and they can even be organized into special military units."

"There are pros and cons to that." Chen Chu had a different view on the matter.

The breeding and rearing of these mutated creatures had added much value, and they could even be used as war beasts. However, if they continued to evolve, to the point of developing a complete social structure along with intelligence comparable to humans, it was possible that a fox civilization could emerge in the future.

However, this kind of biological research had always been happening. Compared to the Baihu Nation's principle of coexistence between humans and beasts, experiments in other countries were much more cruel.

It wasn’t just the Federation’s official entities conducting these experiments. To gain power, achieve immortality, or advance biomedical research, many clandestine labs worldwide were funded by large corporations and groups, capturing various mutated creatures for study.

In recent years, there had been frequent news reports of lab explosions and powerful mutated creatures escaping with casualties, which stemmed from such secret research activities.

Following behind the two women, Chen Chu encountered many types of mutated foxes that morning, including three- and four-tailed varieties, and even a Three-eyed Blood Fox with special eye abilities.

After lunch, they visited the fox-themed natural park, with scenic forests, streams, meadows, blue skies, and white clouds.

While the two beautiful women played, Chen Chu sat cross-legged on a hillside, holding the Divine Might Dragon Elephant secret scripture and deducing the runes for a spatial passage.

Further away, on a tall tree dozens of meters high, Li Daoyi stood with his hands behind his back, looking the part of elegance and aloofness as he admired the various foxes inhabiting the mountains and forests. This guy was putting on airs, but Chen Chu didn’t expose him.

The next three days flew by. Under Qingqiu Minghui's assurance, the entire city of Qingshan became very stable, with law enforcement teams visible on the streets everywhere. Additionally, some personnel in black clothing patrolled the city, each accompanied by a five to ten-meter-tall mutated fox.

As the music and dance teams arrived one after another, Yan Ruoyi became busier.

"One, two, three, jump. Yes, just like that. Ruoyi, you’ll stand here. Yes, this angle makes you look very regal."

Sitting in the audience seats below the stage, Chen Chu quietly read his white book while keeping an eye on his surroundings.

To his left sat Xu Xiaoqi. Today, she wore a small black suit, her white shirt underneath filled out nicely, along with a tight-fitting skirt and black stockings that showed off her long legs. Sexy, intellectual, with a faint jasmine scent, perhaps from her body wash.

Despite the beauty beside him, however, Chen Chu's attention was almost entirely on his book. A complex silver three-dimensional rune slowly rotated in his eyes, appearing profound and mysterious.

With the combined efforts of his colossal beast and his main body over the past few days, the spatial passage rune had finally been deduced, and the Thunder Fiery Colossal Beast had begun to condense it.

Deep under the ocean, an ice palace emitting white light appeared as an underwater wonder. In the oriental-designed palace of the Thunder Fiery Dragon King, the black-red beast's golden vertical pupils also displayed spiral nebula-shaped runes.

In these days of silence, it had not only completed the rune's deduction, but also increased its size to seventy meters after consuming the flesh of two level 7 colossal beasts.

The oppressive aura of the ancient colossal beast that the Thunder Beast emanated had grown even more intimidating.

"Begin."

With a deep roar, the Thunder Beast gathered its powerful, tangible vitality and spiritual will, covering the three pairs of feathered horns on its head.

These runes, powerful enough to open a temporary spatial passage, required strong support. As a level 8 colossal beast, its horns, scales, and bones were made of powerful transcendent materials, durable and excellent at conducting and stabilizing energy.

The Thunder Beast continued to condense the rune, and intricate silver runes appeared on the six red spike-feathered horns, continuously intertwining and spreading. As more silver lines covered the horns, a profound spatial aura began to permeate.

About an hour later, the feathered horns were completely covered in intricate silver patterns, resonating with each other. A unique fluctuation burst forth.

Buzz!

Now imbued with spatial properties, the feathered horns vibrated slightly and emitted a buzzing sound. Golden flames burned fiercely on them, forming a golden flaming crown, at the center of which powerful spatial energy gathered and rotated, gradually forming a continuously spinning silver vortex.

The Thunder Beast's mouth curled into a sinister smile; it had succeeded.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba, I am back.

As the Nine-headed Serpent roared, distant water surged, creating waves of violent currents. Having been away for a few days, the serpent returned, dragging the corpses of two peak level 7 colossal beasts and exuding a strong bloody aura, indicating it had been through numerous battles.

Thud!

The two black heads released their grip, dropping the bodies onto the ice floor and causing large cracks to spread.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Ao Ba, your food is here.

Seeing another two level 7 Life Crystals fall into its hands, the Thunder Beast growled in praise. Roar! Well done, Ghidorah.

Roar! Roar! Roar! It was nothing, not worth praising. Although it said this, the black serpent swayed its nine heads happily.

After the Thunder Beast extracted the two level 7 Life Crystals, the Single-horned Kun and the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle also returned. The two colossal beasts emanated a menacing aura, indicating they had killed numerous mutated creatures during their absence.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Thunder Fiery, these crystals were a bit hard to find this time.

The Kun opened its mouth, revealing seven level 5 and 6 Life Crystals swirling within the twenty-meter diameter of its abyssal maw.

Life Crystals would be digested if swallowed, so the Kun and Dragon Turtle used water currents to keep them in their mouths, swirling them around during battles. This method sounded unusual, but fortunately, the Thunder Beast didn’t have to consume these.

Roar! Thank you all for your efforts. The Thunder Beast growled in encouragement, then collected the dozen Life Crystals brought back by the two colossal beasts.

The Dragon Turtle's eyes showed a questioning look. Roar! Thunder Fiery, is this enough?

Though they had hunted down all of the high-level mutated creatures within a thousand kilometers and killed those that met the criteria, they were willing to venture further if Thunder Fiery needed more.

They were straightforward, loyal friends for life. In their simple minds, helping Thunder Fiery was natural, and collecting the crystals was also for their own benefit.

Roar! This will be enough for now, we'll see about later.

With a timing that almost seemed prearranged, the four orcas and Saixitia also returned with their own large hauls of Life Crystals. The four orcas primarily brought back level 3 crystals, with a few level 4 and 5 ones mixed in. The Silver Colossal Dragon brought back one level 7 and two level 6 crystals.

Huff huff!

The Thunder Beast exhaled scorching hot breath from its mouth and nose, its eyes reddening as it gazed at the small pile of Life Crystals before it—enough to convert into over 10,000 attribute points. Even for it, seeing so many crystals at once was a first.

Roar! Good job, everyone. Over the past few days, I've analyzed your strengths and developed a few runes to specifically enhance your combat abilities.

Seeing the dedication of its companions, the Thunder Beast felt the need to reward them. The Kun and the Dragon Turtle were visibly excited.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!! Thunder Fiery, I want to learn. I want to learn the power to condense energy.

Roar! No problem. But I think you should first learn this sharpness rune, which will allow you to make better use of your large fins.

With that, the Thunder Beast stood up, and golden flames danced in its claws, gradually condensing into a "Slash" basic rune.

The sole function of this rune was to sharpen material. If the Kun condensed hundreds or thousands of these runes along the edges of its huge fins, they would form a pair of giant sharp blades. Combined with its powerful body and immense strength that were on par with a dragon’s, the result would be formidable.

Then, if it learned a few suitable saber arts... Hiss!

Just the thought of it made the Thunder Beast shiver. Who wouldn't be afraid of a Kun that knew saber arts?

After the Thunder Beast finished growling, the Kun's eyes lit up, and it nodded excitedly. Squeak, squeak, squeak!! I'll learn it. I want to cut down those guys.

The Kun was so excited that it flapped its giant fins, creating massive waves that sent the smaller orcas hurtling.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!! The small orcas cried out in distress, and the female orca glared, making the Kun stop sheepishly.

Roar! If you want to learn, come over. Relax and don't resist.

Boom!

With a powerful swipe, the Thunder Beast slammed the Kun onto the icy ground, causing a shockwave that made the entire Dragon Palace tremble.

The scene made the other colossal beasts instinctively shrink back.

Wait, isn't this just about learning runes? Does it have to be so violent?
