Chapter 1298: Chapter 924 Qingfeng Nini (Two-in-One)

Some wild pet beasts poked their heads out, looking longingly at the scene.

They are not unfamiliar with the Light of Evolution.

Mikaela stood beside them, watching the wild pet beasts appear without making a move.

She could see that these wild pet beasts had no intention of disrupting the evolution.

Time passed second by second, but the white light never dissipated.

One could only see the white light gradually expanding, and the silhouette inside was changing at an extremely slow pace.

When Yaobao and the others evolved from basic to intermediate level, it wasn’t this slow... Qiao Sang couldn’t help but show a trace of concern.

Could it be that the evolution of legendary pet beasts is not quite the same as the ordinary pet beasts?

"I’ve heard that legendary pet beasts awaken parts of their memory with each evolution, do you think Qing Qingni is evolving slowly because it’s awakening memories?" Mikaela walked over and speculated as she looked at the Light of Evolution.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang was initially stunned, but then relaxed a bit.

Yes, she had read in the books borrowed from the Yuliandun University library that some uniquely gifted pet beasts inherit parts of their memory with each stage of evolution to better guide them into higher realms.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang nodded and said, "Probably."

Besides this, it should also be related to that oversized Fairy Heart... Mikaela didn’t voice this thought, instead saying:

"Once Qing Qingni evolves successfully, you can rest tonight, and I’ll keep watch."

Qing Qingni’s evolution made her realize they’ve been in the Secret Realm long enough, it’s time to end the mission early and reach out for people from the Imperial Beastmaster Academy to re-check Qing Qingni’s evolution and concoct new energy pills.

With the way you keep sending Speed Sleep Bird out to battle, I can’t sleep peacefully... Qiao Sang refused, "No need, I’m used to staying up late."

"Haven’t you had a proper rest for over forty days, don’t you want to sleep well for once?" Mikaela asked.

Qiao Sang slowly said, "Compared to sleep, I prefer safety."

Mikaela fell silent.

She suddenly thought that the frequency of her interventions might be too low, making her student lack a sense of security for her capabilities in this role.

But who could blame Qiao Sang, who basically resolved crises by herself, rarely giving Mikaela a chance to act?

"Tunnel Run!"

With a flicker of thought, the Cave Rat suddenly drilled out from the ground, showing an anxious expression as it called out.

Qiao Sang instantly became alert.

"Xun Xun!"

Little Treasure Hunter assumed a serious expression, staring at the ground ahead.

"Let me!" Mikaela stepped forward, saying with a deep voice, "Hidden Shield."

After a brief silence, a terrifying and invisible force suddenly descended, completely shattering the ground behind the Cave Rat!

All the wild pet beasts that had shown their heads fled in fright.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of the ground collapsing roared, and a cat-like pet beast about 50 centimeters tall, mainly earth yellow, screamed as it was shaken out from the ground by the impact, flying into the sky.

Then, like a shooting star, it plummeted from the air, closing its eyes and fainting.

"Tunnel Run..."

The Cave Rat let out a sigh of relief as it looked at the fallen pet beast.

Then it remembered something, gave Mikaela a thumbs-up with a "who am I, what am I doing" expression, and burrowed back underground.

Earth Sand Miao, a basic ground-type pet beast, the Cave Rat’s nemesis... Information about the fallen pet beast flashed in Qiao Sang’s mind as she silently glanced at Xu Gehong beside her.

The scene fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

"What happened?" An astonished voice broke the silence.

Guo Ruiqi emerged from his sleeping bag, looking around with a wary expression.

"Nothing, just dealt with a wild pet beast," Qiao Sang explained.

Mikaela’s body was still a bit stiff, without saying a word.

The explanation made the wary Guo Ruiqi relax.

Soon, he noticed the dazzling white light.

Guo Ruiqi was initially stunned, then asked:

"Did a pet beast evolve?"

The dazzling white light enveloped the pet beast’s figure completely, making it indistinguishable.

Qiao Sang replied with "Yes."

"Which pet beast?" Guo Ruiqi asked with interest.

Since entering the Secret Realm, he hadn’t often witnessed the wild pet beast evolving, and the occasions weren’t many.

"Qing Qingni," Qiao Sang said.

Who?

You said who?

Qing Qingni evolved?!

Guo Ruiqi was astonished, thrilled, and excited, switching through several expressions in just a few seconds.

He then thought of something, impatiently crawled back into his sleeping bag, frantically took out his phone, turned it on, and activated the camera function to capture the Light of Evolution.
