"Fat Thief!" The sound of his transcendence energy resonated across the surface of the sea, suppressing the rumbling of the waves.
Seeing that Charcoal seemed to have broken free from its torment, Miao Yi, who had been observing for a long time, wondered if Charcoal could still recognize him, so he gave it a try.
Whoosh! The black figure flipped on the surface of the sea and turned back to the blue waves, staring blankly at the beach for a while.
"Aooo …" Suddenly, a loud howl reverberated across the blue sea. The 'neigh' from before was no more, and the sound had completely changed.
Whoosh! As the waves surged, Charcoal lowered his head and dived, leaving behind a white line of water on the surface of the sea. As he neared the shore, he suddenly broke through the water and emerged. With his head held high, he walked step by step on the sandy beach under the water towards the three people on the beach.
What was originally a horse's head had turned into a ferocious lion, with antlers on its head. What used to be a mouth full of jagged teeth had turned into white fangs. The fangs protruded from its lips, and at some point, a shark was bitten in its mouth, its body still writhing.
Like a steel brush, the hair around its head was black and shiny, covered in sparkling water droplets. With a shake of its head, water splashed everywhere.
His body, which was covered in black scales, gradually emerged from the water. The sharp claws under his thick thighs sank into the sand step by step. His tail, which was dragged out of the water, swayed gently. The snake tail had turned into a long awl.
Compared to its previous dragon steed form, Charcoal was almost twice as tall and longer. With its head held high, it lowered its waist and swung its tail.
The bloodstains on its body had been washed clean in the sea, and under the sunlight, it shone black from head to toe. The black was pure, without any impurities. It lived up to its name of Charcoal. Only its teeth were white, and its intimidating eyes were surrounded by a golden ring, adding to its intimidating aura.
Dragging its tail out of the sea, its slow steps on the beach were heavy. Each step was deep, and its breathing was heavy.
Yun Zhiqiu and Ji Meili instinctively backed away. The current Charcoal was no longer as approachable as it was in its previous dragon steed form. Its body was filled with a fierce aura, and its black body was dripping with water. It was a little frightening.
Miao Yi, on the other hand, stood in place expressionlessly, meeting Charcoal's gaze.
Whoosh! Charcoal's knees suddenly gave way. His breathing suddenly became heavy, but he managed to support himself with his strong legs. Miao Yi's gaze fell on its four limbs, and he noticed that they were a little weak. They weren't as powerful as they were when it was running. He furrowed his brows. He didn't know what was wrong.
When Charcoal finally stopped, he was only a few steps away from Miao Yi. His eyes were filled with suspicion, and he would occasionally turn his head to look at Miao Yi. He seemed to have realized that Miao Yi was much smaller than before. He then turned his head to look at his own body, and realized that it was actually his own body that had grown larger. When he stood next to Miao Yi, he looked down at him from above.
On the beach, it looked down at Miao Yi, and Miao Yi looked up at it. Waves rose and fell not far behind Charcoal. This scene was like a strange scene, and it was silent for a good while.
Yun Zhiqiu and Ji Meili exchanged glances, and they couldn't help but back away. Miao Yi's calmness left them a little speechless. They couldn't sense any transcendence energy fluctuations coming from his body, and he didn't even put up his guard against Charcoal, who was still madly attacking him just a moment ago. His calmness was a sign of trust that inspired deep respect, a trust that existed between humans and beasts. Ji Meili's eyes flickered as she saw the side of Miao Yi that made her feel strange.
Yun Zhiqiu sighed in her heart. Even though Miao Yi's loyalty to his friends and family sometimes seemed a little too soft-hearted in her eyes, she still felt that Miao Yi was too kind. As a result, some of the things that Miao Yi was unwilling to do were done by her behind his back. But then again, this kind of man was very reassuring. You wouldn't let him down. You wouldn't let him down, and he wouldn't let you down either.
Looking at the scene before her, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't help but admit that Miao Yi had a certain charisma about him!
In the end, it was Miao Yi who broke the silence between man and beast with his hands behind his back. With a calm voice, he said, "Damned fatty!"
With the prey still dripping blood from its mouth, Charcoal raised its head and let out a few mouthfuls. After swallowing the shark in its mouth, Charcoal let out a whimper like a wronged child. It slowly lowered its head and rubbed its head against Miao Yi's chest.
Miao Yi reached out and caressed Charcoal's hard, tanned face. He stroked the horn on its head, and then stroked its fur.
Charcoal raised its head slightly and licked Miao Yi's hand with its now bright red and fat tongue, then licked its lips and teeth.
Yun Zhiqiu and Ji Meili didn't understand what was going on, but Miao Yi seemed to understand something. He raised his hand and touched his storage bracelet, but couldn't seem to find what he was looking for. He reached behind him and asked, "Sister Qiu 'er, do you have a Fifth Grade Core with you? Give me one. "
With a flip of his hand, Yun Zhiqiu flicked one over. Miao Yi didn't even turn his head as he casually caught it, then casually tossed it over to Charcoal.
Charcoal's bright red tongue flicked out and with a sweep, it rolled the Fifth Grade Core into its mouth and swallowed it with a gulp.
Ji Meili was speechless. 'Something worth ten billion Red Crystals was eaten just like that?'
After swallowing the core, Charcoal's aura grew heavier and heavier. Miao Yi's gaze fell on Charcoal's limbs and saw that they were trembling slightly.
In the end, Charcoal couldn't hold on any longer after going through a round of evolution and exhausting all the stored energy in its body. It collapsed with a loud rumble, its huge body falling onto the beach. It collapsed in front of Miao Yi, feeling at ease. Its heavy eyelids fluttered open, and it slowly closed its eyes in relief. The air it breathed through its nostrils blew a hole in the sand where its face was.
Miao Yi turned around and asked, "Meili, what's going on?"
Yun Zhiqiu and Ji Meili walked over. The latter said, "It must have used up all its energy during the previous evolution process. It must have accumulated enough energy to support its evolution. Otherwise, if the evolution had failed, it would have died on the spot! Don't tell me you've been feeding it Cores all this time? How many Cores did you put into it to support this kind of evolution? "
Miao Yi stared at the collapsed Charcoal and said, "It doesn't matter how many Cores I put into it. I want to know how it is now. Has it passed the critical stage?"
Ji Meili muttered, "Logically speaking, it should be fine, right?"
Miao Yi turned around and looked at her. "You can't be sure?"
Ji Meili shook her head. "This is also my first time seeing a spiritual beast evolve. I can only feel it. I can't give a definite answer."
Miao Yi frowned. "Then what do we do now?"
Ji Meili said, "If I'm not wrong, it will wake up when its strength recovers. But I can't be sure … Don't touch it. Let nature take its course!"
Miao Yi remained silent. This was the only way. He turned around and circled around Charcoal, admiring him. He touched Charcoal's body, lifted Charcoal's claws, pulled Charcoal's tail, and opened Charcoal's mouth. The two girls also followed behind him, admiring him.
The sun set, and the stars filled the sky. Amidst the crashing waves, Miao Yi sat cross-legged, guarding Charcoal as he faced the vast starry sky and the deep, restless ocean.
In the forest not far away, Yun Zhiqiu and Ji Meili sat cross-legged on the ground. Noticing that the night view before them was quite nice, they chatted casually among themselves.
Ji Meili's gaze occasionally swept across the sea and suddenly asked, "Madam, why does Master call this dragon steed Fat Thief?"
Yun Zhiqiu giggled. "This dragon steed's name is Charcoal. Master used to call it Fatty, but then an old man started calling it Fat Thief. Over time, everyone started calling it Fat Thief as well."
Ji Meili said, "Master seems to have a deep relationship with this dragon steed. Is it because he knows that it has the ability to awaken its bloodline?"
Yun Zhiqiu said, "You're overthinking it! When Master first entered the cultivation realm, he was still a Steed Deputy in Transient Light Cave of the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch. At the time, Master didn't have a mount, and there was an outrageously fat dragon steed in Transient Light Cave. It was lazy, fat, and gluttonous. Its legs weren't strong either, so no one wanted it. At that time, Master's conditions were limited. Although Charcoal's conditions weren't as good, it was still better than not having a mount. Charcoal could be said to be Master's first mount. After following Master, his personality slowly changed. He fought many battles with Master, going through fire and water with him. Back then, he even accompanied Master to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. During the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, Charcoal was forced to separate from Master for a period of time. However, Fat Thief insisted on crossing the Sea of Constellations alone. Before the Subjugation Crusade ended, he once again found Master with a body riddled with scars. Finally, he returned to the Celestial Nation with Master alive. There were almost no dragon steeds who could return alive from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Charcoal was an exception. That's why Master didn't know what kind of mystical bloodline Charcoal possessed. Later on, even after Master's cultivation improved and he no longer needed Charcoal, Master still stubbornly refused to change mounts. He kept waiting for Charcoal, waiting for so many years! Charcoal was Master's first and only mount when he first came out into the world. Do you understand? "Miao Yi gestured to the man and beast on the beach under the moonlight.
It was just a small matter, but Ji Meili was moved by Miao Yi's words. She stared at the beach for a while. At first, she thought that this dragon steed was a mutant that Miao Yi had discovered in the outside world, which was why he had taken special care of it. Who would've thought that it was actually like this? There was no benefit involved. Both man and beast had known each other for a very long time. Miao Yi had never abandoned Charcoal, and Charcoal had also given Miao Yi an unexpected reward!
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Miao Yi didn't know when Charcoal would wake up. Yun Zhiqiu still had to go back to look after the clan, so it wouldn't be good for him to stay here. As such, he left Ji Meili to take care of Miao Yi while he went back to his own home.
One evening, when the sun was setting, Miao Yi was sitting cross-legged on the beach. He unintentionally turned around and saw Ji Meili strolling on the beach with her long hair fluttering in the wind. Perhaps it was because the scene was just right, but Miao Yi raised his eyebrows and dashed over. He hugged Ji Meili from behind and teased her, "Why don't we go into the sea together and have some fun?"
Ji Meili didn't reject his embrace. She lowered her head and looked at the hand that was caressing her voluptuous chest. She calmly said, "There's no need to beat around the bush. He's already yours. You can have him whenever you want, as long as you're willing to tell me where the 'Earth' section of the Peerless Demonic Technique came from."
'Bargaining again?' Miao Yi thought to himself. "So what if I force myself on you? You're no match for me! "
