Chapter 1096: The Second Beast Taming

"Haha... I am invincible!"

Sikong Xiaoxiao evolved into a Crimson Carp King; not only did her body size surge, but her scales also became glistening and translucent, as if carved from a piece of Hongyu.

Not only that, a sharp, singular horn grew on her forehead, making her look quite extraordinary.

Gazing at the relentlessly pursuing Fierce Biting Shark, Sikong Xiaoxiao bravely charged at it.

Then...

Bang!

With one ram from the Fierce Biting Shark, Sikong Xiaoxiao went flying, and it was GG.

If she hadn't already evolved, she suspected she would have died from that hit alone.

Aaron spoke nonsense with a straight face, letting the Little Flame Sparrow open its beak, and stuffed a crystal of Radiance Spirituality into it.

Yes, the Crimson Carp had evolved, but it only raised its species by one major rank, and its strength had increased to the Primary General grade.

Aaron glanced at Sikong Xiaoxiao's data:

Many Big Claw Crabs were sliced in half, the wounds incredibly smooth, with crab roe flowing out.

Aaron chuckled, then asked, "I am just a traveling Beast Tamer; I would like to ask where Purple Jincheng is?"

In the eyes of the natives, the Chosen Child are a group of lunatics who would risk their lives to try every possible outcome!

Of course, this might have a lot to do with them possessing countless lives.

【Description: The Little Flame Sparrow is a common Pet Beast, timid and gentle in nature, with generally low combat power...】

He thought for a moment, then released Sikong Xiaoxiao again.

Slap!

Utilizing the force of the fall, Sikong Xiaoxiao whipped her tail fiercely, swatting the Fierce Claw Crab away and exposing the relatively soft abdomen beneath its hard armor.

Sikong Xiaoxiao is currently doubting life.

It let out a wild roar, its blue-black skin faintly turning crimson—Berserk!

"It's over, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Over there, a group of crimson crabs were walking sideways, among which was one whose size and form were clearly different.

And within the waves, there was actually a human figure!

That was a young man, stepping on a red skateboard, forever standing atop the crest of the waves, seemingly surfing!

"A group of big crabs discovered ahead, Salted Fish, go!"

Sikong Xiaoxiao's originally dizzy brain reacted instantly; it was that shameless Aaron!

Aaron was seen with a calm and confident smile on his face, his right hand pointing slightly.

A giant carp kept rolling forward, with a Beast Tamer following behind.

"Hello, may I ask if you are a Chosen Child?"

Chirp chirp!

"It is normal that you can't beat it... the Salted Fish has evolved, but it is still a Salted Fish!"

The middle-aged male Beast Tamer stroked his daughter's head affectionately: "One stage of Heart Power can only Contract one Pet Beast; a Beast Tamer often only has four or five partners in a lifetime... and it is difficult to change!"

Alanna puffed out her small chest proudly.

Of course, Sikong Xiaoxiao is a player, so that is another matter.

As for below five stages, there aren't even enough slots for Contracts!

"Finally... is another Pet Beast about to fall into your clutches?"

【Pet Beast Name: Little Flame Sparrow】

One month later.

Is it really a case of being unwilling in speech but honest in body?

The middle-aged Beast Tamer hurriedly came over to smooth things over.

"Of course, this is my father's main Pet Beast!"

"So you were just asking for directions..."

Sikong Xiaoxiao gave Aaron a big dead-fish eye.

"You currently only have one stage of Heart Power, so the best range for Pet Beasts is General grade and Commander grade... it is best to find a cub of Commander rank but with strength still at the Soldier grade; this way, your future will be infinitely bright."

Many commoner trainers, when they first debut, if they cannot obtain various funding, can at most get a General grade Pet Beast cub.

Aaron shook his head: "Also... you have grown to over a meter long now and can no longer live in a fish tank; in the future, you can only live in the space..."

"So weak... is this the disgrace of the low-level Soldier grade?"

Alanna looked at her father with some confusion.

Of course... this is a configuration that only a Master above five stages can possess.

Aaron glanced at the large black dog beside the Beast Tamer and couldn't help but smile: "Is this the Black Flame Dog you raised? It has already reached the low-level Commander grade? Quite good..."

In reality, he had only heard of it and never seen one.

Pfft!

A Water Blade emerged!

Anyway, the vitality of Pet Beasts is very strong; after upgrading to high-level General, even if she leaves the water for a long time, she will not die from dehydration.

And abandoning a previous Contract, or the death of a Pet Beast, would bring heavy damage to the Beast Tamer themselves, and their Heart Power could potentially stagnate or even regress because of it.

Sikong Xiaoxiao had the illusion that her body had been hollowed out again.

She was blasted into mid-air, the whole fish feeling dizzy and muddled.

【Skill: Flight】

Even Sikong Xiaoxiao won't do; after all, it's been outdated for decades...

Sikong Xiaoxiao's limitations are too great; at most, it can only fight in water battles.

And as a Beast Tamer, the main focus is still land combat; one cannot be without defensive types, offensive types, and the like.

The Fierce Biting Shark, after all, has Commander-grade potential and can serve as the main Pet Beast for many Beast Tamers; this Fierce Biting Shark is only at the High General Grade, and once it reaches Commander-grade strength in the future, Aaron's strength will also increase significantly as a result.

The location where Dugu Jian is currently at is Purple Jincheng.

Aaron nods, waves a hand to retract Sikong Xiaoxiao, and walks onto the beach.

The Beast Tamer watches this scene and mutters to himself: "And... surfing in the sea while riding a Crimson Carp King? Only a Chosen Child could pull off such a thing..."

Boom!

Sikong Xiaoxiao takes the opportunity to spit out a thin, dense water jet, piercing the Fierce Claw Crab through.

At this moment, a burst of bird calls suddenly comes from nearby.

In a coconut grove by the beach.

"No, I am the Chosen Child!"

Alanna nods, appearing to understand yet not quite understanding.

Aaron's ears twitch, and he immediately chuckles: "It seems... the Chosen Children don't have a very good reputation among the natives."

Sikong Xiaoxiao clamors loudly.

Therefore, choosing a Pet Beast is a very serious matter.

Sikong Xiaoxiao leads the way, discovering that it is actually a group of Little Flame Sparrows!

Then, she sees a bloody maw open before her, those sharp, ghastly teeth looking very much like they intend to bite her in half.

Those who can talk are either divine beasts or players in disguise!

"It's nothing..."

Lola Coast.

Sikong Xiaoxiao leans over to take a look and complains again: "It's also ugly; is this stunted growth?"

Aaron looks at the surrounding environment and signals for Sikong Xiaoxiao to stop: "I am preparing to tame my second Pet Beast!"

Thinking of this, he cannot help but feel a bit melancholy again.

"That's right... we are the legendary—Chosen Ones!"

"It's a Big Claw Crab... uh, has one of the leaders evolved? This is a rare Natural Sciences evolution!"

'You unlucky, honest kid, your old man is clearly guarding against strangers... and yet you've spilled all your secrets.'

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

"I know, the status of a Little Flame Sparrow is just like that of a Crimson Carp!"

"No... one salted fish is already enough of a headache for me!"

However...

Aaron gives Sikong Xiaoxiao a look of disdain.

"Choosing a Pet Beast that is too weak at the start will limit your development, but one that is too strong is also bad; it's hard to control, and those without sufficient talent cannot command high-level Pet Beasts."

Aaron laughs heartily and lets the Little Flame Sparrow fly out.

"Water Blade!"

Aaron lets out a loud laugh, and the red skateboard beneath his feet suddenly flies out.

Sikong Xiaoxiao is struck as if by lightning; if not for being in the body of a carp, she might have performed a prostrate apology on the spot...

Sikong Xiaoxiao twists her body in mid-air, and countless water splashes fly out, transforming into sharp blades.

"How can that be the same? This young lady's Crimson Carp is a carp that is different from the rest!"

"What's more... this Little Flame Sparrow is unique; it might possess the talent for continuous evolution and mutation!"

"Is he... my hero? Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

"Haha, apologies, my daughter has never seen a Chosen Child of the Pet Beast type."

A kind smile appears on the middle-aged Beast Tamer's face; he not only explains things in detail but also gives Aaron a map.

"Daddy..."

"Daddy, look!" Alanna suddenly points at the beach.

"Ah... are you really signing a contract with such a weakling? It's completely useless... even the most destitute Beast Tamer wouldn't choose it."

And the Fierce Claw Crab at the center raises its large pincers, clamping toward the giant carp.

"Ah!"

No, that was just a transparent line, thin to the extreme, sinking into the mouth of the Fierce Biting Shark!

For a Fierce Biting Shark with the Hardened Skin and Berserk skills, its entire skin is incomparably tough and can withstand many attacks.

At most... it went from a snack to a main course!

Sikong Xiaoxiao clearly senses that after seeing her scales shatter and fish blood spray, the Fierce Biting Shark opposite her is even more excited!

"I am not a Salted Fish King, no, a Crimson Carp King... I am also a Chosen Child!"

"Water Cutting!"

Aaron glances sideways at Sikong Xiaoxiao and says with a smile.

"Yeah, a little."

So... that wasn't a red skateboard, but a giant carp!

This young lady is afraid of the dark and also fears enclosed spaces; every time he puts her into the space, she makes a huge fuss.

Sikong Xiaoxiao says with a sigh, then immediately begins to devise a plan: "Don't take a Pet Beast that's too weak... let's go catch a Flower Fairy! I watched the preview video on the game's official website, it's so cute... A Hill Giant won't do, I reject it for being ugly!"

【Race Grade: Soldier Grade】

It's the waves!

Waves several meters to over ten meters high, constantly curling, the spray a pure white.

Among them, one clumsy one actually bumped into a tree trunk nearby, fell down all dizzy, and was caught right in Aaron's hand.

Thus, a weird scene appeared in the forest.

Aaron looked over this little Flame Sparrow back and forth, and finally tapped its beak.

A Beast Tamer's quota for pet beasts is very precious; basically, one level of Heart Power represents the ability to contract one pet beast.

Unlike those Chosen Child who chase after Monarch Grade, or even Legendary Grade or Mythical Grade pet beasts.

Moreover, she had at least evolved into a Carp King, so she could be considered barely on the same starting line as others.

The middle-aged Beast Tamer said solemnly: "Alanna, you must remember... although there are many good people among the Chosen Child, there are also evil ones who stop at nothing for their own selfish interests. Relying on their immortality, they can ignore all laws and are the most terrifying criminals... be careful with any dealings you have with them!"

【Divine Attribute: Fire, Space】

At this time, Aaron also arrived at the shore, looked at the huge Fierce Claw Crab, and couldn't help but feel very satisfied: "Stopping and going along the way, the key was finding a suitable opponent for you, and we have finally arrived at the Lola Region..."

At the critical moment, a human figure blocked the way in front of Sikong Xiaoxiao.

Aaron can cheat!

A Beast Tamer was taking his daughter to look for traces of pet beasts along the coast:

"Alanna... you must remember, the choice of a pet beast is extremely important."

At this moment, from the other side of the ocean, a white line suddenly rushed over.

【Race Grade: General Grade】

The little Flame Sparrow gave a start, and at this moment, its tiny eyes suddenly turned pure white; it had become a creature with Spirituality!

"Continuous evolution or mutation?"

"Awoo awoo!"

"How can this be? I still can't beat it..."

Aaron laughed, but unfortunately, no one was there to pick up on this old meme.

Besides this, the main forces for water battles and air battles cannot be left behind.

Five levels of Heart Power radiated out, and this little Flame Sparrow had no ability to resist at all, signing a Contract with Aaron and becoming his second pet beast.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken in this salted-fish-spirit girl earlier.

【Strength Level: Primary General】

"Alright... let's do it here!"

But now, Aaron had a better choice.

Sikong Xiaoxiao was very hurt.

He didn't really care about this choice.

Alanna asked excitedly.

"A High-level General Grade Crimson Carp King?"

The little Flame Sparrow nodded at him and flew into the sky, turning into a black dot.

Strictly speaking, Aaron's first choice of a trashy salted fish like the Crimson Carp meant he was completely behind at the starting line.

The only weakness was actually inside its gaping maw!

Bang!

The Fierce Biting Shark screamed and fell into the sea, twisting its body constantly, as if its internal organs had been severely damaged!

Compared to hiding inside, she preferred to hop and jump in a salted-fish dash.

Splash!

Originally, this group of little Flame Sparrows was searching for grass seeds and bugs on the grass, but suddenly the bushes parted, a large fish rushed out, and they were scared off, flying away in all directions.

The Beast Tamer sighed: "A General Grade Fierce Claw Crab is not suitable for you... its strength is too high."

"Oh!" Alanna lowered her head.

"The Flower Fairy's combat power is notoriously weak..."

The vast majority of pet beasts cannot speak.

【Pet Beast Name: Crimson Carp King】

【Divine Attribute: Water】

Sikong Xiaoxiao wanted to run, but the opponent immediately unleashed seven consecutive Water Cannons.

Facing a Fierce Biting Shark with a higher race and stronger power, it was still just a piece of cake!

Sikong Xiaoxiao almost carved the words "I don't believe it" onto its fish face: "How do you know?"

"I guessed..."

Well, just because other Breakers can't, doesn't mean he can't cheat in this game!

Therefore, just picking any pet beast that catches your eye is fine.

Sikong Xiaoxiao swam a few circles, looked at the Fierce Biting Shark that hadn't died yet, and asked with lingering fear: "Are you planning to tame it?"

【Skills: Water Blade, Splash】

Sikong Xiaoxiao immediately hopped over to strike up a conversation, giving Alanna a fright: "The Crimson Carp King can talk!"

In the high sky where Sikong Xiaoxiao could not see, it bathed in the sunlight, its feathers seeming to burn, its body constantly expanding, becoming incomparably huge, and dense fangs growing inside its beak...

Suddenly, it let out a long cry, driven by hunger and madness, and rushed toward a school of fish on the sea surface...
