Why isn't what I command considered a beast?

In the darkness and storm, its presence is so captivating.

The gold ingot has successfully evolved.

It has changed a lot now, and its increased size is just the least significant change.

The three purplish-red feathers on its head were joined together, forming a staggered convex structure, with the tips turning a purplish-gold color.

It looks like a magnificent crown.

Dark purple-gold patterns also appeared around the eyes.

Its wings have also changed very noticeably.

First, the wings are divided into two parts, with the feathers near the back becoming longer and denser, each one resembling a sharp dagger.

It was still a brilliant and dazzling gold.

The edges turned into long, wheat-ear-like feathers, and the color gradually changed from gold to black, although the black part was not much, almost only the very bottom tuft.

However, this gives the gold ingot an overall air of nobility and mystery.

But the most significant change is in its tail.

The original tail of the gold ingot was only a short wisp, barely enough to conceal a certain physiological organ.

But now it has grown four long, black, chain-like tail feathers, each about two meters long.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the legendary phoenix tail.

However, the bottom of the phoenix tail has peacock patterns, while on the gold ingot, black feathers are inlaid with golden rhombus-shaped gems.

It's a real gemstone; it even glows when struck by lightning.

They wanted someone to imprison them and keep them for themselves.

"Leilei!"

The large bird landed steadily in front of Mingxi. It was about 1.5 meters tall, about the same height as Mingxi.

Putting aside its appearance, Jin Yuanbao's domineering aura, which seems capable of splitting the heavens and earth, is stronger than any high-level pet Mingxi has ever seen before.

Yes, it's even stronger than the dragon-type Sisemok!

"thunder!"

It cried out again, spread one wing and held it above her head to shield her from the falling rain.

Those beautiful blood-red agate eyes were filled with disapproval.

They criticized her for coming out in the rain.

Although there have been many changes, it is indeed a gold ingot.

The evolution of extraordinary organisms is truly amazing and unbelievable.

It's like a magic trick where someone suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Witnessing the evolution of extraordinary creatures for the first time, Mingxi felt as if she had watched a fantasy movie. She reached out and touched the drooping wheat ears and feathers of the gold ingot.

To be honest, this layer of gradient black fur is quite beautiful, both alluring and mysteriously elegant.

Even when soaked by rain, these feathers remain exceptionally soft, like cotton.

"Golden Ingot, do you know your current race name?"

There is no precedent for the third stage evolution of Thunderbird, and of course, no one knows what its evolution is called.

"thunder."

Jin Yuanbao shook its head; it didn't know either.

It felt that it was somewhat different from its own kind.

Well, it seems we'll have to rely on the Realm of Time again.

With Jin Yuanbao successfully evolving to the advanced level, a weight that had been pressing on Mingxi's heart was finally lifted. The next step was to figure out how to evolve it to the general level or even higher.

But they have already proven with facts that the evolutionary chain of the Thunderbird is perfectly normal!

"Golden Ingot, you're too big to fit into the mountain crevice right now. How about we go back to the pet space for now?"

Mingxi walked back into the crevice, but it would be too difficult for Jin Yuanbao to come back in given its current size.

"thunder."

It's okay, I like thunderstorms.

It definitely won't go back to the pet space, because it can only take timely precautions here if its own beast tamer encounters danger.

Silver Flower Girl is completely unreliable.

Mingxi knew more or less what Jin Yuanbao was thinking, so she didn't force it. The current thunderstorm weather was indeed suitable for it to cultivate.

Extraordinary beings shouldn't be damaged by rain.

Mingxi glanced at the time again; it was already 7:30 in the evening.

There is less than an hour and a half left until nine o'clock.

Considering the significant reduction in reward duration, Mingxi suppressed her urge to immediately enter the Time Realm to test the gold ingot.

She said, "Wait until nine o'clock. No rush. She can stay calm."

She took out a towel and began to wipe the rainwater off her body.

Just then, Little Silver Flower flapped its wings and flew to her, its short toes embracing her face.

It blinked its pink eyes and let out a sweet cry.

"Lolo."

"Lolo."

Sister, the evolution is so cool!

They need to evolve too!

Mingxi met its big pink eyes, which held only pure curiosity and anticipation.

It wasn't the increased strength of the gold ingot that excited me, but rather the coolness of the evolution.

Mingxi was speechless at this reason.

She said earnestly, "Your situation is rather special. You need to absorb enough power of the rules to evolve, so don't worry, you'll get the bread, and you'll evolve too."

I wonder how much rule power Little Silver Flower needs to evolve from the beginner to the intermediate level.

Is the power of the rules that Jin Yuanbao gained from this evolution enough for it to evolve to the intermediate level?

I'll have to ask Guangguang about it later.

Xiao Yinhua nodded with a slight hint of regret.

Yes, the reason it doesn't hatch for thousands of years is because its own evolutionary conditions are too difficult to meet.

So it has been waiting for an opportunity.

Then it sensed her.

It no longer had to be trapped alone in its eggshell, spending long and boring years.

Mingxi gently stroked its head.

Jin Yuanbao silently watched them, his body pressed tightly against the gap, blocking out not a single drop of the torrential rain outside.

The Ice Soul Fox, who had been quietly standing by, watched the harmonious and warm interaction between the human and the two beasts, a hint of envy flashing in its icy blue eyes.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared behind Mingxi.

Jin Yuanbao, who was facing the black hole, was the first to notice it and quickly spoke up to remind Mingxi.

Mingxi looked over and immediately knew what was going on.

It is a secret passage.

This secret realm is about to close.

Mingxi felt relieved; thankfully, she wouldn't actually be trapped here for ten days or half a month.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that when she went back, she would be greeted by her grandmother's urn.

"We're leaving."

Mingxi crouched down, facing the Ice Soul Fox, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me these past two days."

She reached out and stroked its fluffy head.

Unfortunately, the wild extraordinary creatures within the secret realm cannot enter the passage, otherwise Mingxi would have liked to take this little guy away.

She sighed softly and took out the remaining healing and energy potions.

"These are for you too. Drinking this will heal your wounds, and this will quickly restore your depleted energy."

Ice Soul Fox didn't speak, but just stared at her blankly, its clear, icy eyes shining.

Mingxi helped it put the medicine into a burlap sack next to it, and said, "Goodbye, little guy."

May all your wishes come true and may your path be smooth.

No longer alone and helpless, nor surrounded by malice.

Ice Soul Fox remained silent.

Mingxi waved goodbye to it one last time, then put the gold ingot and the little silver flower back into her pet space, slung her backpack over her shoulder, put on her flashlight, and stepped into the passage.

He never looked back.

"Jingle Bell."

"Jingle Bell."

In a daze, Mingxi seemed to hear a melodious yet sorrowful bell ringing.

It was as if someone was seeing her off.
