Chapter 397: The Transformation of the Emperor Crocodile (Seeking Everything)

The Jing Wood Tapir consists of two stars in the Gemini constellation that twinkle in the southern sky; they are two parallel rows of stars that look just like a pair of twins embracing each other. In Constellation Astrology, it is regarded as the Palace of the Couple, meaning a man and a woman, and is also called the "Couple Star."

Early the next morning, Li Zhangsheng stretched and regained his clarity.

Regarding matters between men and women, Ning Bizhen was relatively conservative; no matter how Li Zhangsheng racked his brains, she still guarded her defenses tightly and did not give Li Zhangsheng a chance to succeed.

Last night, the two had been intimate for a while before Ning Bizhen ran back to her own room with a blushing face.

"First, let's process the flesh and blood of the Ancestral Black Dragon into Spirit Essence!"

Li Zhangsheng busied himself in the room, and soon the Breath Concealment Restriction was activated, with an invisible light barrier wrapping the entire room.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng took out the flesh and blood of the Ancestral Black Dragon, piling it into a mountain of meat in the room.

For a moment, the room was filled with a fresh, bloody scent.

It was indeed the flesh and blood of an Ancestral Black Dragon; it was not filled with the foul, fishy stench of other Spirit Beasts' flesh and blood.

Li Zhangsheng activated the Melting Restriction, but unexpectedly, the previously infallible Melting Restriction struggled to take effect on the Ancestral Black Dragon's flesh and blood, and its efficiency was extremely low.

"Come out, Adai!"

Li Zhangsheng frowned and had no choice but to summon Adai.

As soon as Adai emerged, its head touched the ceiling of the bedroom, so it hurriedly lowered its body and curled up in Li Zhangsheng's bedroom.

Li Zhangsheng's bedroom was very large, about a hundred square meters and seven or eight meters high, which was a feature of single-story buildings in this world, and this barely accommodated Adai's massive body.

"Adai, please crush these pieces of flesh!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Adai began to act; it hunched its body and tossed a piece of meat the size of a water vat into the air.

The moment the flesh fell, Adai danced its claws into a blur; its claw-swinging speed was so fast that only phantoms could be seen.

Slap—

In an instant, this piece of flesh turned into a large mass of meat paste and fell onto the Melting Restriction.

Under the effect of the Melting Restriction, this meat paste slowly melted like a candle into a pool of blood, emitting a fresh aura.

In the time that followed, Adai continuously swung its claws, processing the pieces of the Ancestral Black Dragon's flesh one by one.

It took about a quarter of an hour for all the Ancestral Black Dragon's flesh to be turned into meat paste, and finally, it was transformed into blood by the Melting Restriction.

Although the blood of the Ancestral Black Dragon could be absorbed by Spirit Beasts, the absorption efficiency was low, and there was a huge gap compared to Spirit Essence.

Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi could not refine the Spirit Essence of the Ancestral Black Dragon and did not directly devour the flesh and blood of the Ancestral Black Dragon, feeling that such efficiency was too low, so it used the unique methods of the Dragon Clan to refine and absorb the aura of the Ancestral Black Dragon to increase its Bloodline level.

It was just that doing so required a massive amount of time.

This was also the reason why, two months later, the corpse of the Ancestral Black Dragon had not shown any other changes besides being slightly dried out.

Half an hour later, Li Zhangsheng had finished processing the water and impurities in the Ancestral Black Dragon's blood, turning the blood into half a bucket of very viscous Blood Essence.

Yes, Spirit Essence!

The Spirit Essence of the Ancestral Black Dragon was very pure; the blood of a Divine Beast had strong rejection properties, and even if one originally possessed other bloodlines, they would often be directly refined by its own powerful bloodline.

Because of this, the Spirit Essence of the Ancestral Black Dragon did not have the complex Bloodline Imprints like ordinary Spirit Beasts, and it could be absorbed directly without needing a Dissolving Agent for purification, which also made Li Zhangsheng's purification efficiency much higher than usual.

The moment the purification was completed, the Ancestral Black Dragon's Spirit Essence emitted a water-blue radiance; these rays of light spontaneously gathered, forming a clear phantom of the Ancestral Black Dragon, its eyes wooden and dull, accompanied by a powerful Pressure.

After all, this was just a dead object, so the Pressure was relatively limited and naturally still within Li Zhangsheng's ability to handle.

Due to the Breath Concealment Restriction, the strange phenomena and Pressure in the room would naturally not be detected by outsiders.

Soon, the phantom of the Ancestral Black Dragon turned into a ray of light and dived back into the half-bucket of Spirit Essence.

"If only there were a full bucket, I believe it could directly make the Emperor Crocodile evolve twice!"

Li Zhangsheng couldn't help but feel a bit unsatisfied, but there was nothing he could do; due to the limited time at the time, coupled with the limitations of the Space Ring, being able to obtain that much flesh and blood was already an extraordinary feat.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng flicked his Monster Pet Bag and summoned the Emperor Crocodile.

Immediately, the Emperor Crocodile prostrated on the ground, its eyes tightly fixed on the half-bucket of Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence; it possessed the Black Dragon Bloodline and was of the same origin and species as the Ancestral Black Dragon, though there was a clear gap in bloodline strength compared to the Ancestral Black Dragon.

Furthermore, with the strong rejection properties of the Ancestral Black Dragon's Spirit Essence, it could also directly expel the existing Black Dragon Bloodline.

However, assimilation was more likely.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and controlled the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence to form a blood-colored line, filling a large bowl.

As for the rest of the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence, since it could not make the Emperor Crocodile reach the Concentrated Grade, it was better to use it elsewhere to strive for maximum effect.

Li Zhangsheng took the Emperor Crocodile to the backyard of the small courtyard, which was significantly more spacious than the bedroom and more suitable for the Emperor Crocodile to break through.

"Emperor Crocodile, open your mouth!"

The large bowl hovered and floated in front of the Emperor Crocodile.

Roar—

The Emperor Crocodile let out a low roar and obediently opened its large mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs.

Li Zhangsheng controlled the large bowl and poured all of this bowl of Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence into the Emperor Crocodile's mouth, leaving not a drop behind.

After swallowing the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence, the Emperor Crocodile's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation; it was finally going to evolve.

Last time, the Emperor Crocodile could only be considered to have undergone assimilation.

Immediately, the Emperor Crocodile lay on the ground with experience; soon, its copper-bell-sized eyes revealed a look of pain, and its massive, slender body began to bloom with water-blue radiance, starting to enter the evolution stage.

During the evolution process, the Emperor Crocodile began to grow larger and continued to develop "horizontally," its limbs becoming thicker and longer, its scales becoming thicker and wider, and the two tumors on its back continued to bulge, as if something was about to burst out.

Riiip—

A sound like leather armor tearing rang out, and the two protrusions on the Emperor Crocodile's back finally broke through the constraints of the crocodile skin and scales, extending a pair of wide, bat-like wings from within, with a wingspan not much different from the Emperor Crocodile's body length.

Additionally, two slight protrusions appeared on the Emperor Crocodile's forehead, but due to a lack of follow-up power, they did not break through the constraints.

At the same time, in the Emperor Crocodile's Consciousness Sea, there was now a phantom of an Ancestral Black Dragon; compared to a Black Dragon, the Ancestral Black Dragon's body was much more massive, giving one the impression of an adult versus a child.

The Emperor Crocodile immediately controlled its consciousness to approach the Black Dragon phantom and began to excitedly Bite the Ancestral Black Dragon phantom.

Once the Devour was complete, the Emperor Crocodile's consciousness began to expand, and strands of fragmented yet massive inherited information surged madly into its mind, accompanied by an intense throbbing pain.

By the time the Emperor Crocodile absorbed and digested the inherited knowledge, the water vapor wrapping it quickly receded, revealing the Emperor Crocodile's increasingly massive body.

At this time, the Emperor Crocodile's body length had grown to about thirteen or fourteen meters, and the biggest change was the pair of wings on its back, which gave it the ability to fly.

At the first moment, Li Zhangsheng began to check its data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Venom Wyvern (Growth Stage, Intermediate Exotic Beast)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Elite 1st Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: High-level Commander

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Superior Quality

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Ancestral Black Dragon (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Water

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Earth

It did not exceed Li Zhangsheng's expectations; the Emperor Crocodile successfully evolved into a Venom Wyvern, its race improved from High-level War General to High-level Commander, and it smoothly completed a breakthrough in its realm, becoming an Elite Demon Pet.

Besides this, the Emperor Crocodile also inherited the Ancestral Black Dragon's Dragon Might trait and the Acid Breath ability, significantly increasing its combat power.

Dragon Might trait: Uses aura to intimidate the opponent. As long as the intimidation succeeds, all of the opponent's abilities decrease by 10%, and there is a certain chance they will fall into a Cowering state. It has a miraculous effect on Pseudo dragons, allowing the combat power of Pseudo dragons like wyverns and earth dragons to drop significantly, greatly increasing the possibility of escape.

Roar~

After the evolution was complete, the Venom Wyvern let out an excited roar and lowered its body to the ground, signaling for Li Zhangsheng to get on.

Even after obtaining the Ancestral Black Dragon's bloodline, the Venom Wyvern still maintained a servant-like posture in front of Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng had allowed it to complete its evolution and even helped it reach the Elite level; the Venom Wyvern was naturally extremely satisfied in its heart, and even though the Temporary Contract did not have much binding power, it was still willing to die for Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng jumped onto the Venom Wyvern's back; there were two grooves on its back, which were very suitable for human riding.

At this time, the Venom Wyvern spread its bat-like wings, and after running two steps, it flew high into the air.

Because it had just mastered the ability to fly, the Venom Wyvern flew a bit crookedly, but it adapted very quickly, and after a few minutes, it leveled out.

After soaring in the air for a few laps, the Venom Wyvern landed back on the open space in the backyard.

Li Zhangsheng patted the Venom Wyvern's lowered head, took it into the Monster Pet Bag, and returned to his room.

Clatter~

In the bedroom, Li Zhangsheng broke open the 'wall', revealing a sealed space inside which sat a huge Fairy Egg; it was precisely the Super Large Fairy Egg that Ning Bizhen had given him.

For more than three years, even after absorbing Bloodline Essence, there was still no sign of it hatching to this day.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng took out the jade pottery jar containing the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence; there was still nearly half a jar left inside.

He could be certain that this Fairy Egg possessed the Water Attribute, and the Ancestral Black Dragon belonged to the Water Attribute Divine Beast; if this Fairy Egg absorbed the Ancestral Black Dragon's Spirit Essence, it would definitely gain certain benefits, and might even gain the possibility of hatching early.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng controlled his Mental Power to guide a drop of Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence and sprinkled it onto the Super Large Fairy Egg.

At the same time, his Mental Power remained in an externalized state, fearing that the Fairy Egg would be 'unable to handle the supplement'.

The moment the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence landed on the Fairy Egg, the Fairy Egg faintly emitted a water-blue luster, and the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence that landed on it gradually soaked into the Fairy Egg and disappeared.

In the feedback from Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power, he could feel the Fairy Egg brighten by an imperceptible amount; if he hadn't been observing with Mental Power, such a change would truly be impossible to feel.

"It's effective!" Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; the light spot representing the Fairy Egg was more translucent, indicating that its future would be even more brilliant.

Li Zhangsheng no longer had any reservations; under the guidance of his Mental Power, a wisp of the Ancestral Black Dragon's Spirit Essence was drawn out and landed on the Fairy Egg.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng kept a close watch on the Fairy Egg's reaction; once the Fairy Egg showed signs of saturation, he would immediately stop.

As it continuously absorbed the Ancestral Black Dragon's Spirit Essence, the water-blue radiance of the Fairy Egg became increasingly brilliant.

This process lasted for five minutes; when Li Zhangsheng felt that the Fairy Egg was about to reach saturation, he immediately chose to stop. At this time, the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence in the jar had decreased by about 1/3.

Additionally, during this process, Li Zhangsheng could clearly feel that the vitality of the previously dormant Fairy Egg had gradually become active; its hatching time had presumably been brought forward by a lot.

Li Zhangsheng sealed the jar; the Fairy Egg needed a certain amount of time to digest the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence, and he prepared to let the Fairy Egg absorb the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence every once in a while; even if it meant paying with all the Ancestral Black Dragon Spirit Essence, he would not hesitate.

After leaving this room, Li Zhangsheng had the Treasure-Seeking Mouse repair the 'wall', and he himself left the room and knocked on Ning Bizhen's tightly closed door.

……

After lunch, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen came to the backyard.

Li Zhangsheng shook his Monster Pet Bag and summoned the Venom Wyvern.

Like the Blazing Bird, the Red Dragon Xieryasina's body temperature was too high, making it unsuitable for Li Zhangsheng to ride at the moment, and the Light Blessing Bird's speed was slightly inferior to the Venom Wyvern, so the Venom Wyvern successfully replaced the Light Blessing Bird and had the honor of becoming Li Zhangsheng's regular flying mount.

"Such a large Venom Wyvern! Huh, when did you tame a Venom Wyvern?"

As soon as she saw the Venom Wyvern, Ning Bizhen exclaimed in surprise. She had seen all of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, but she had never seen a Venom Wyvern, let alone such a large one.

An ordinary Venom Wyvern would only be eight or nine meters long, but this one reached an exaggerated thirteen or fourteen meters. If it weren't for the fact that it had no Dragon Horn and its limbs were relatively short and stout, people who didn't know better would have thought it was a young black dragon.

"This is my Emperor Crocodile after it evolved into a Venom Wyvern!"

There was nothing to hide about this, and besides, there were many Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could allow Demon Pets to evolve, so few people would associate it with Spirit Essence.

"Bizhen, come on up!"

Li Zhangsheng mounted the Venom Wyvern; unlike the Three-Legged Fire Crow, the Venom Wyvern's back could accommodate several people.

After confirming their relationship, the way the two addressed each other had changed.

Ning Bizhen didn't think much of it; she blushed and jumped up, leaning into Li Zhangsheng's embrace.

With warmth and fragrance in his arms, Li Zhangsheng felt heroic and ambitious. After the Venom Wyvern beneath him ran two steps, its bat-like wings spread wide, and it flew high into the sky.

This time, Li Zhangsheng decided to venture to the Silent Forest with Ning Bizhen, preparing to open the Danwang Biefu.

Damn it, I coughed!
