Chapter 1124: Next evolutionary path (two in one)

“Gather.”

Jujiki called out, indicating that the next stage of evolution was under the sun.

Qiao Sang didn’t understand and looked at Xiao Xunbao with anticipation.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao called out, helping to translate.

Evolution under the sun? Is that all? Qiao Sang asked, not giving up, “Is there nothing more specific?”

“Gather?”

Jujiki frowned and called out.

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao mimicked its expression, frowning, and helped translate.

Is needing the sun for evolution not specific enough?

“Gather.”

As soon as he finished translating, Jujiki seemed to think of something and called out again.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

It said that if they had to elaborate, it would be very close to the sun.

“Yaya…”

Yabao listened to the conversation from the side, showing a thoughtful expression.

Is it just a simple need for sunlight…? Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked, “Did you see a specific location, or a time?”

“Gather.”

Jujiki looked over and called out.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate, saying it was when we were still on Yan Tian Star.

Evolution completed on Yan Tian Star? Could it be that I will stay on Yan Tian Star for a long time…? No matter how long Mi Jiala Teacher arranges for me to stay on Yan Tian Star, for Yabao’s evolution, I must stay until it evolves… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

“Gather.”

As she was pondering, Jujiki called out again.

Yabao’s eyes suddenly brightened even more.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate.

It said that Yabao Big Brother’s next next evolution path relies on true fire crystal, li fire crystal, and tai yang jing (sun crystal).

Qiao Sang: “!!!”

Qiao Sang was first stunned, then a strong surge of pleasant surprise welled up in her heart.

A thought screamed in her mind: Jujiki actually saw Yabao’s next next evolution path!

This was much more detailed than the next stage of evolution!

Then a second thought emerged:

What are true fire crystal and tai yang jing (sun crystal)?

She had heard of li fire crystal, which was said to be a crystal formed from the eye boogers of the legendary Pet Liousias, but she had never heard of the other two.

But it’s not a big problem; she can just ask Mi Jiala Teacher when she goes out.

Although these two items were listed alongside li fire crystal, sounding difficult to obtain, knowing the evolution path is better than not knowing, at least there’s a goal to work towards.

Qiao Sang reined in her thoughts, her eyes shining as she looked at Jujiki, asking, “Then how does the next next next stage evolve?”

Yabao also looked over with shining eyes.

“Gather.”

Jujiki called out.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao helped translate, saying that the evolution of the next next next stage could not be seen.

“Yaya…”

Yabao showed a disappointed expression.

Qiao Sang was inevitably a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted her mindset, her brain working rapidly.

Not being able to see Yabao evolve into a Venerable-level form most likely means Yabao simply doesn’t evolve into a Venerable-level form, but Jujiki couldn’t see Yabao’s entire life until death, so this possibility is much smaller, after all, I have a Gold Finger, constantly grinding Point until old, I should be able to become Venerable-level anyway…

It’s too early to think about this now. Yabao already knows how to evolve in the next two stages, especially the Imperial-level evolution path. Knowing this much is already an unexpected surprise.

Qiao Sang immediately thought of something and turned to look at Steel Treasure.

“Steel Chief.”

Before she could speak, Steel Treasure flew forward and called out to Jujiki.

“Can you help Steel Treasure look too?” Qiao Sang asked with anticipation in her eyes.

Jujiki became a little impatient, but it glanced at Qingbao nearby, remembering that this human was the other party’s Yu Beast Master, and so it endured, its eyes glowing blue as it looked at Steel Treasure.

As time passed, Jujiki’s expression gradually changed from calm to astonished, and later even showed a hint of admiration.

Through Jujiki’s expression, Qiao Sang knew that the other party had seen Steel Treasure’s past.

“Gather.”

Before long, the blue light in Jujiki’s eyes faded, and it called out with a serious expression.

After speaking, its expression became complicated.

“Xunxun.”

Xiao Xunbao mimicked Jujiki’s serious expression and translated.

It said that the Fourth Brother’s subsequent evolutions are all sudden evolutions without items, and later it will change back to its original appearance, which should all be Bond Evolution like before, but…

“Xunxun~”

Translating to this Point, Xiao Xunbao returned to its usual self, called out, indicating that it would only say this much.

After hearing this, Qiao Sang couldn’t help but ask, “But what?”

“Gather.”

Jujiki glanced at Yabao and called out with a complicated expression.

However, just like this little guy, it couldn’t see the ultimate future.

As I guessed, Steel Treasure’s subsequent evolution paths are all based on the power of bonds… Qiao Sang was both surprised and not surprised by this result.

She had long speculated that Steel Treasure’s subsequent evolution paths would all be Bond Evolution, but this time it was definitively confirmed. However, what she didn’t expect was that Jujiki also couldn’t see the future outcome of Steel Treasure.

Unable to see Yabao, and also unable to see Steel Treasure, could the problem be with her…? Qiao Sang muttered to herself.

Then she thought of something and asked, “Is it also like Yabao, only seeing the evolution process of the Royal-level and Imperial-level?”

“Gather.”

Jujiki nodded.

Steel Treasure fell into deep thought.

“Gather.”

Jujiki called out comfortingly, indicating not to think about Venerable-level matters so early, as Venerable-level is not that easy to evolve into, and you might not even reach Venerable-level.

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure showed a polite smile and called out.

Thank you for your comfort.

“Gather.”

Jujiki accepted it very frankly.

It truly felt that it was offering comfort.

Should I also let Jujiki see my life…? No, it wouldn’t be good if my secrets were seen… What a pity, otherwise it would be good to let Jujiki see when I break through to 60% brain region… Qiao Sang’s thoughts spun on the side.

“Xunxun~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao impatiently called out to Jujiki, indicating to help it look too.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang’s heart stirred, and she suddenly remembered that Xiao Xunbao’s racial limit was Royal-level, and its evolution path after Royal-level was unknown. She couldn’t help but look at Jujiki again with eyes full of anticipation.

Once Xiao Xunbao finished, she might even be able to ask Jujiki to help Lubao look.

It should be known that Lubao’s racial limit is also Royal-level.

“Gather.”

Jujiki looked at Xiao Xunbao, showing a weary expression, and called out, indicating that it needed to rest for a while.

“Xunxun?”

Xiao Xunbao called out, asking how long it needed to rest.

There was no need to understand what Jujiki was saying; upon hearing Xiao Xunbao’s words, Qiao Sang knew that Jujiki needed to rest now.

“Gather.”

Jujiki thought for a moment and called out.

One day, perhaps.

“Xunxun~”

After hearing this, Xiao Xunbao took off its ring, pulled out bottles of energy recovery fluid and milk from inside, placed them in front of Jujiki, and called out, indicating that drinking these would help it recover faster.

“Gather…”

Jujiki looked at the items on the ground,愣ed for a moment, showed a funny expression, shook its head, and indicated that it didn’t need them.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao didn’t give up, pushing the energy recovery fluid and milk forward, and called out, indicating that it always drank these to recover when it was tired.

“Gather.”

Jujiki lowered its head to look at the energy recovery fluid and milk again, then looked at Xiao Xunbao, showing a “I can’t do anything with you” expression, its eyes glowing blue.

Xiao Xunbao immediately understood something, raising its head and chest, and straightening its posture.

Xiao Xunbao’s social skills are pretty good… Qiao Sang turned her head to glance at Xiao Xunbao, unable to help but praise it in her heart.

First Tenth Seat, then Jujiki. If this gathering lasted a bit longer, Xiao Xunbao would probably become familiar with these rare Pets.

“Steel Chief.” Steel Treasure called out in her mind with an admiring tone.

Indeed.

Qiao Sang heard Steel Treasure’s voice, her heart stirred, and she said in her mind, “You said if you undergo Bond Evolution next time, will we be able to shield our inner thoughts?”

“Steel Chief.”

Steel Treasure’s heart also stirred, and it called out, indicating that it was possible.

At this moment, its desire for evolution suddenly increased significantly.

While Qiao Sang and Steel Treasure were communicating through the power of bonds, Jujiki’s eyes returned to normal, and it called out:

“Gather.”

“Gather.”

“Xun!”

Xiao Xunbao’s eyes lit up, and it called out twice, indicating, “Really?”

“Gather.”

Jujiki nodded.

“What did it say?” Qiao Sang asked.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao called out happily.

It said that my next stage is through item evolution, but it doesn’t know what those items are called.

Speaking of which, Xiao Xunbao suddenly puffed out its chest and proudly called out:

“Xunxun~”

It also said that my next next stage is to evolve during a competition, under everyone’s cheers.

Evolve in a competition? Without relying on any items? Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering what Doctor Zhang Taidong said in Zhiya District.

Could it be that Xiao Xunbao’s subsequent evolution will follow the possibility that Doctor Zhang Taidong mentioned?

Then what Xiao Xunbao cares about most is winning the competition?

That seems unlikely…

Could it be that it likes the feeling of being popular after winning a competition?

For a moment, various thoughts appeared in her mind.

“Gather.”

Jujiki sat on the ground, showing a tired expression, and called out, indicating that it needed to rest now.

“Xunxun~”

Xiao Xunbao pushed the energy recovery fluid and milk forward.

This time, Jujiki did not refuse, but it also did not pick them up to consume. After giving Xiao Xunbao a kind smile, it closed its eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang said “thank you” and no longer disturbed it, taking Yabao and the others to an empty spot on the side and sitting down cross-legged.

To be honest, just for this conversation with Jujiki, this trip to Yan Tian Star was not in vain; it was much more valuable than getting a Net Blood Fruit from Tenth Seat…

Qiao Sang calmed her excited mood, settled her emotions, and recalled what Jujiki had just said.

Yabao’s next stage needs to be close to the sun… the next next stage requires true fire crystal, li fire crystal, and tai yang jing (sun crystal)…

Steel Treasure’s next two forms are both Bond Evolution… Although the Venerable-level form’s evolution is unknown, it’s highly likely also reliant on the power of bonds…

Xiao Xunbao’s next stage should be the same as the officially announced evolution path.

Jujiki didn’t know what the items were, probably because those evolution materials are from Blue Star, and it’s related to not usually encountering them.

Speaking of which, Liousias is a legendary Pet on Yan Tian Star, and I don’t know if it will participate in this gathering. If it does, I might be able to directly get a li fire crystal…

Xiao Xunbao’s next next stage of evolution path is unknown, but one thing is certain: it needs competitions, and it also needs to win…

After recalling all of Yabao and their evolution paths, Qiao Sang’s thoughts drifted for a moment, feeling as if she had forgotten something…

After a brief two-second thought, she reined in her thoughts.

Forget it, since I can’t remember, it means it’s probably not important.

…

At the same time.

Wolin.

Misty white fog.

Mi Jiala, Li Ya Weng, Pen Jiami, Dragon King, and the black humanoid Pet remained frozen in place, as if paused, not moving.

Suddenly, the mist surged, and a figure slowly walked from far to near, revealing a face full of wrinkles.

If Qiao Sang were here, she would realize that the other party was the mysterious old man she met in the restaurant.

Igor came to Mi Jiala and the others, let out a soft “eh,” and then, as if thinking of something, showed a hint of excitement, turning to the air beside him and saying, “It should be here. You look for it.”

“Kongkong.”

A cat-like Pet about 1.6 meters tall with a curly long tail appeared out of thin air, its eyes glowing blue.

The next second, the entire space suddenly vibrated.

Immediately after, a crack appeared in one part of space, slowly opening.

Igor’s face showed pleasant surprise. He then straightened his clothes, smoothed his hair, and his face twisted and changed, returning to his original appearance. He stepped into the space crack with a solemn expression.

The cat-like Pet with the curly long tail floated in afterward.

The space crack slowly closed, as if it had never appeared.

…

On the other side.

Gao Dun Cat seemed to sense something and showed a mocking expression.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The clouds in the sky drifted, and it was still daytime. Although it should have been the time for the moon to take over, the sky showed no change.

During this period, three more Pets that Qiao Sang had never seen before came in.

The Pets gathered in twos and threes, either curled up resting, talking in low voices, or staying by themselves in a more solitary manner.

Xiao Xunbao was full of energy, able to chat with every single Pet.

Yabao, Lubao, Steel Treasure, Qingbao, Tingbao, and Mo Li Dragon were already asleep.

Qiao Sang looked at the Pets around her, one by one, creatures she might never see in her lifetime outside, and felt no sleepiness at all.

This is probably the only chance in this lifetime… Qiao Sang subtly took out her phone and took a photo of the scene before her as a memento.

“Shasha?”

Suddenly, a head came closer, looking at the frozen photo on the phone.

Qiao Sang turned and, seeing Colored Flower Bud Shalala, asked, “Aren’t you sleeping yet?”

“Shasha.”

Colored Flower Bud Shalala shook its head.

“Aren’t you tired?” Qiao Sang asked again.

“Shasha…”

It was fine until she mentioned it, but as soon as she did, Colored Flower Bud Shalala felt sleepiness wash over it and yawned.

Seeing this, Qiao Sang smiled and said, “You sleep. I’ll call you when Tenth Seat starts the gathering.”

Saying that, she patted the lawn beside her.

Colored Flower Bud Shalala was first stunned, then obediently lay down in the patted spot, glanced at the human who told it to sleep, and then closed its eyes. (End of Chapter)
