Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

Its mountain-like body plummeted down, creating a huge splash of water.

If you don't run away now, how long will it take?

Mingxi quickly grabbed Jin Yuanbao and shouted, "The wind's getting strong! Let's get out of here!"

The process of escaping was arduous.

Fortunately, the results are good.

The two, one human and one beast, finally stopped flying away from Sweet Duck's territory.

Even if the Earthfire Spider King wanted to continue hunting them down, it would encounter those Sweet Ducks first.

Even if the sweet ducks aren't enough to defeat it in one move, at least they can distract it.

As for whether the sweet ducks will turn into sweet roast ducks, that's not something Mingxi should worry about.

The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is the very rule of survival in this secret realm.

Mingxi had Jin Yuanbao stop on a cypress tree that required three people to encircle.

The boundary of time.

Jin Yuanbao is currently out of energy and in poor condition; he needs to rest properly.

Anyway, thanks to Jin Yuanbao's tireless efforts in gathering duck feathers, there's plenty of reward time now.

885 minutes and 44 seconds.

Spend money recklessly.

A sincere thank you to the Sweet Ducks for their selfless dedication.

This time, she planned to extend the incubation period for the second baby by ten days.

In this way, the incubation progress of the second baby can reach 93.75%.

The second baby should hatch by tomorrow night at the latest.

This secret realm is too dangerous. If the second child is born sooner, she will have an extra layer of safety.

[Master, you'd better take the Thunderbird to have its physical stats checked; its energy level seems to have reached its level cap.]

Mingxi had just come out of the bathroom when she was bombarded with Guangguang's words.

What?

Has the gold ingot reached its level cap?

When did this happen? Why doesn't she know about it yet?

As it turns out, Guangguang's judgment was correct.

Mingxi held the test results, dumbfounded.

Thunderbird

[Age of the animal: 210 days]

[Level: Intermediate (Evolution completed 81 days ago)]

[Gender: Male]

[Attributes: Flight, Lightning]

Peak energy: 10000

Average energy: 10000

[Talent: S+]

Feature 1: Thunderous Might

...]

【技能：追风（小成28%）；爪击（入门80%）；金羽旋风（小成4%）；驱光（初学79%）；翼斩（小成3%）；雷电球（入门76%）；雷鸟(入门29%）；雷电辐射（入门1%）；雷电风暴（小成7%）】

The gold ingot's peak and average energy values ​​have both reached the level limit!

what happened?

Looking back on the past half-day, Mingxi could only think of one possibility.

Courage-boosting fruit!

Jin Yuanbao just 'hit the jackpot'; one of the courage-boosting fruits it ate permanently increased its energy level.

Before entering the secret realm, Jin Yuanbao's original average energy value had already exceeded 7000 points. With the addition of the 3000 from the Courage Fruit, his energy value was now full.

Once a superhuman creature reaches its level cap, its energy level cannot increase further unless it evolves.

"Hehe, Jin Yuanbao, look, your luck is actually pretty good."

She calculated that, including the energy consumed while 'playing' with Sweet Duck, Jin Yuanbao had just eaten a total of 35 Courage Fruits.

A 2.9% probability is not low in the lottery world.

When you calculate it this way, the price of the courage-boosting fruit is actually a bit low.

70 is a lot for her, but it shouldn't be much for the vast majority of beast tamers.

Is it because there are too many "courage-boosting fruits" in circulation, leading to market saturation?

Little did she know that while courage-boosting fruits are not expensive in the energy fruit market, that doesn't mean they are common.

The reason it's not expensive is ultimately because the taste of the courage fruit is such a challenge for the taste buds and intestines of extraordinary beings.

Few pets are willing to eat it, let alone 35 of them in a row.

Jin Yuanbao is a true warrior.

"Leilei?"

Jin Yuanbao no longer cares about his luck.

Our own beast tamer is right; strength is the only true measure of success.

If a creature learns that its energy level has reached its maximum, can it then evolve?

It knew that there were instruments in the Time Realm that could allow it to evolve directly.

Mingxi shook her head.

"Wait a little longer, there's no rush. I still want to get the Ghost Thunder Flower before you evolve."

The evolution pod in the Time Realm can forcibly help Jin Yuanbao evolve, but Guang Guang also said that forcibly evolving might affect Jin Yuanbao's talent.

Therefore, she would not allow Jin Yuanbao to evolve without the help of the Ghost Thunder Flower unless absolutely necessary.

"Lei Lei".

Jin Yuanbao had also heard about its evolution conditions. Of course, it didn't want its talent to be affected, but wasn't the Ghost Thunder Flower very rare?

Their own beast tamer was so poor that they had no way to buy them.

Moreover, the current situation is special; they are trapped in an unknown and mysterious realm.

With its current strength, it cannot guarantee that it can protect her.

So after thinking about it, it decided to evolve.

Although Jin Yuanbao didn't say it explicitly, Mingxi could roughly guess what it was thinking.

Although Jin Yuanbao is a deep thinker, he has a very strong sense of responsibility.

She firmly refused again:

“No! I know what you’re thinking. This secret realm is indeed very dangerous. We might encounter a supernatural creature as powerful as the Earthfire Spider King we just met at any time. But we’re not at our wits’ end yet, so there’s no need for you to sacrifice yourself.”

She stroked its slightly charred feathers and gently comforted it, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You're already very strong. Let's not rush things."

"And because of your efforts, the second baby will be able to hatch soon, and it will be able to help then."

Even if the second baby is only a juvenile, low-level pet beast after hatching, an egg can still go head-to-head with a rock, and the milk beast might just become an ally.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Jin Yuanbao lowered his feathers slightly.

"Lei Lei".

Okay, then let's wait a bit longer.

Its own beast tamer is right, it's already very strong, it shouldn't be so impatient.

Back outside, nothing had changed.

The Earthfire Spider King has most likely given up on hunting them down.

Mingxi glanced at the time and realized it was already past 15 p.m. Their first night in the secret realm was about to begin.

We need to find a suitable place to sleep as soon as possible.

Once night falls, who knows what might happen?

Actually, the riverbank where the sweet ducks live is a great campsite, as it is high up and close to the water source.

The problem is that we're too close to the Fire Spider King. If that giant spider has a special ability or skill that enhances its sense of smell, it will be disastrous.

Therefore, Mingxi could only let Jin Yuanbao carry it to fly further upstream along the river.

The further upstream you go, the lower the air temperature becomes.

There was a feeling of quickly transitioning from cool summer to late autumn, but the temperature-regulating clothing was working well enough that she didn't feel it much.

During the trip, we encountered a group of vengeful crocodiles and a group of ice turtles fighting in the river!

The two sides fought so fiercely that the sky darkened and the sun and moon disappeared, and the water was stained a glaring and eerie pink by their blood.
