Masterchef Liao's expression was fascinating. He was a little shocked, but at the same time, venting his anger. He seemed like he wanted to say something, but after some thought, he swallowed his words and changed it to a question.
"Lin Jin, where did this chicken of yours come from?"
…
Goldy was indeed a chicken with quite a personality. Back when he followed Lin Jin from Everlasting Town to Maple City, Lin Jin let him roam freely. He didn't care about him at all and let him roam around freely. After all, chickens were like dogs. Once they recognized a home, they wouldn't get lost.
Based on his appearance, there was nothing special about Goldy. Lin Jin was the only one who could tell that Goldy's bloodline was extremely impressive.
"Golden Crow bloodline?" Upon hearing Lin Jin's explanation, Masterchef Liao was shocked. Although he was a chef, he was knowledgeable so he had heard of the legendary Golden Crow bloodline. It was the bloodline of the Sun Bird during the ancient era of immortals.
In ancient times, the blazing sun in the sky was a manifestation of the Golden Crow. In some immortal scriptures, the Golden Crow was revered as the Divine Sun Bird.
From this, one could see how powerful the Golden Crow bloodline was.
Liao Gu's gaze toward Lin Jin had changed. This kid just randomly brought a chicken over and it actually had the Golden Crow bloodline. It was no wonder he could catch that vegetable worm.
If he had known, he would have asked Lin Jin to bring it over earlier.
Suddenly, Lin Jin remembered something. He walked over and looked at the spot where Goldy had pecked the vegetable worm to pieces. He reached out to wipe the remaining juice on the ground.
In an instant, there was a commotion in the Museum of Deadly Beasts.
"Emerald bloodworm, Rank 1, rare species …"
It was true.
Lin Jin took a closer look at the emerald bloodworm and felt a tinge of regret. If he knew this worm was so rare, he would have snatched it from Goldy's mouth.
The emerald bloodworm had a hidden bloodline that could melt gold and refine jade. It also had extraordinary potential. Most importantly, this worm was an extremely important medicinal ingredient that could only be found by chance.
However, it was too late for regrets now. Since Goldy had already eaten it, there was no point in saying anything.
Just then, Lin Jin turned to look at Goldy who was sunbathing in the vegetable field and immediately noticed something.
Goldy's body seemed to be emitting heat.
And it was getting stronger.
Lin Jin's eyes lit up.
Goldy was a Rank 2 right from the start and was an extremely powerful rare species. Lin Jin had never paid much attention to him, but now, Goldy was showing signs of evolution.
Lin Jin immediately stepped forward. As he got closer, he could already feel a wave of heat assaulting him.
Reaching out to touch Goldy, Lin Jin confirmed his speculation.
Moreover, if one took a closer look, one of Big Yellow's advancement methods was to devour rare beasts of the same attribute, which had a certain chance of triggering an advancement.
Of course, just having signs of evolution didn't necessarily mean that it would happen. But if Lin Jin could lend a hand now, the situation would be different.
Without hesitation, Lin Jin immediately said, "Han Dong, Xiao Yun, help me buy some medicinal ingredients at once. Hurry."
As he spoke, Lin Jin took out a pen and paper and quickly scribbled down a prescription. He then instructed the two servants to get the ingredients and return as soon as possible.
"Masterchef Liao, hurry up and pour away all the water here. Don't leave a single drop of water in the tank. Zhao Ying, go help him." Lin Jin didn't have the time to explain.
Goldy was definitely lucky to be showing signs of evolution so Lin Jin had to grab hold of this opportunity. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to 'evolve' next time.
Liao Gu could tell that the rooster was about to evolve so he didn't hesitate and poured the water in the tank with Zhao Ying.
"Xiao Huo, keep an eye on Goldy. Don't let him drink any water and don't let him leave this yard," Lin Jin shouted at Xiao Huo.
Once a pet beast reached Rank 3, not only would its strength increase exponentially, but it would also become telepathically connected to its owner.
Xiao Huo already knew what Lin Jin was thinking so he immediately unleashed his might and went forward to guard Goldy.
When Lin Jin looked at Goldy again, he noticed that his body was emitting heat. It was as if the lid of a steamer had been opened.
It was obvious that Goldy had no idea what was going on. He was feeling a little dizzy and the scorching heat from the inside out was making him feel uncomfortable.
Unbearably hot.
The emerald bloodworm he had just eaten was now in full effect. The aura of extreme Yang made Goldy feel as if his body was on fire.
He wanted to drink water.
He desperately wanted to drink water.
He immediately flapped his wings in search of a water source. But just as he took a step forward, he was forced back by Xiao Huo.
Goldy was immediately displeased.
The flames on his body surged and his feathers stood on end. His comb was a fiery red as he flapped his wings furiously, looking ready to fight. Xiao Huo wasn't doing this for nothing. Goldy was ferocious but Xiao Huo's pet beast was a rank higher than Goldy's. Now that his body had grown larger and his body was engulfed in flames, Xiao Huo growled and bared his fangs to suppress Goldy.
Now, the wolf and the chicken were facing off. Both of them were fire attribute pet beasts. As the blazing sun collided, the yard immediately became scorching hot. The vegetables in the vegetable field were the first to suffer as they were instantly burned to death. The soil was scorched dry. Lin Jin and the others took a few steps back to avoid the scorching heat.
As the heat on Goldy's body grew stronger, the thirstier he became.
However, Xiao Huo kept a close eye on him. No matter how Goldy tried to break free, Xiao Huo would stop him. The two pet beasts confronted each other, neither willing to give in.
Lin Jin was thankful that Xiao Huo was a Rank 3 pet beast or he wouldn't be able to suppress Goldy. While Goldy was usually a loner like a rooster, when he was truly enraged, most Rank 2 pet beasts were no match for him.
If Lin Jin couldn't stop Goldy now and allowed him to drink the water, he could forget about his evolution.
Goldy's appearance of evolution this time was a coincidence. It wasn't a perfect evolution but it wasn't far from it. The main reason was because he had eaten the emerald bloodworm.
Not only did the worm match his attributes, but more importantly, it could trigger the trace of Golden Crow's bloodline in Goldy's body.
In other words, Goldy's evolution this time wasn't due to the emerald bloodworm but the power of his bloodline.
The Golden Crow's bloodline was so powerful that even a tiny bit of it was more than enough for Goldy to evolve.
The most important thing was to trigger that tiny bit of bloodline power. This process would be excruciating for Goldy but it couldn't be helped. If he wanted to evolve, he had to endure it. If he drank or touched water, all his efforts would go to waste.
"Goldy, I'm doing this for your own good," Lin Jin said.
By now, Goldy and Xiao Huo were fighting fiercely. Goldy's entire comb had turned into a ball of flame. His claws had enlarged and became razor-sharp, enveloped in heat. As he flapped his wings, a scorching wind could be vaguely felt.
By the looks of it, once Goldy evolved to Rank 3, a flap of his wings could stir up a fiery gust of wind.
Time passed.
Han Dong and Lu Xiaoyun returned with their medicinal ingredients. Without another word, Lin Jin took them into the house and started brewing the medicine. Time was of the essence.
Goldy grew stronger as the battle progressed while Xiao Huo still had the upper hand. However, the gap between them was slowly closing.
After all, Goldy was only a Rank 2 pet beast at the moment.
