Chapter 225 - The Evolution of the Venom Frog
Chapter 225 The Evolution of the Venom Frog
“Life Toyer Bee!”
At the crucial moment, the soul wings on Mo Nan’s back sped up and finally caught the Life Toyer Bee.
However, he was also brushed by the Spiral Water Spear. His entire body was drenched away and fell.
The other students hurriedly caught him…
This scene surprised the emotional students like Kong Shijin.
He probably didn’t expect Mo Nan to do this for his soul pet.
“This Mo Nan isn’t simple, right?” Wang Che looked at Teacher Yan Shan and asked.
“A third-year student of North River University. He is a main member of North River University’s soul pet battle team.” Teacher Yan Shan said.
“That’s not simple.” Wang Che nodded.
To be able to stand up and save his soul pet at such a crucial moment, ordinary students didn’t have the courage and determination.
To be a main member of a top university soul pet battle, he had to follow the team and fight in many competitions. He had to have passed tests in all aspects.
“Not bad, it can be considered a lesson to them. Even if our agriculture major is meant for farming, soul pet training is still indispensable.”
Teacher Yan Shan sighed, “The life bond between humans and soul pets is an eternal pursuit.”
Indeed, this scene shocked Kong Shijin and the others.
It was very difficult for them.
They all admired this Mo Nan.
No matter what, at least he dared not fear the huge waves and the spiral water. He dared to charge forward to save his soul pets. Just this point alone was something they could not do.
But at this moment…
The Venom Frog in the distance let out a series of cries.
There was panic in his voice.
More and more Melon Poison Frogs began to run over and cry out.
This scene immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Even Teacher Yan Shan was confused.
He did not know what was going on.
“It’s about to evolve.” Wang Che said, “That Venom Frog might be evolving.”
Teacher Yan Shan was stunned and could not believe it, “Evolution? It’s very difficult for a wild Venom Frog to evolve into the Giant Swamp Poison Frog… I’ve been in the academy for more than 20 years and have seen many Poison Frog, but I’ve never seen the Giant Swamp Poison Frog… let alone evolve…”
Soul pets without a life contract could not combine with human martial souls.
It was very difficult to evolve.
Just like those soul beasts of the ancient era, even if they cultivated to a soul power cultivation of tens of thousands of years, it might be very difficult to change.
Either they slaughtered humans to obtain their martial souls to evolve, or they might not even be able to completely evolve.
“How did you know?” Teacher Yan Shan looked at Wang Che.
“I guessed,” Wang Che said. In terms of soul pet research, this Teacher Yan Shan clearly wasn’t proficient.
He was good at farming, exploring the wilderness, and gathering various materials.
There were specializations in every field. Not every teacher was omnipotent.
There were very few teachers in Forest University who knew soul pets very well.
Even if he understood it, he might not be able to tell.
The evolution of wild soul pets had little to do with cultivation age.
Their evolution required special conditions.
Wang Che did not guess. With his experience, he guessed and deduced.
Teacher Yan Shan was speechless.
How could he guess?
It turned out that Wang Che was right. The entire body of the Venom Frog began to glow. “Is it really evolving?” Teacher Yan Shan took a deep breath.
It was very refreshing to see a Venom Frog evolve in the wilderness.
Moreover, it was a third stage evolution.
Accompanied by the different cries of the Melon Poison Frogs, the Venom Frog’s entire body flickered. It landed on the lotus leaf and actually began to devour the Poison Treasures! With each consumed, the light on its body became brighter.
Seeing this scene, everyone was even more shocked.
“Devour your own Poison Treasure to evolve?” Teacher Yan Shan was also shocked.
This was the first time he had seen something like this in the wilderness.
“That Venom Frog should have wanted to try evolving.”
Wang Che said, “It’s already very familiar with itself, but it’s very difficult to rely on its own strength to successfully evolve. It can only rely on some other power. Their Poison Treasure is actually the energy that they store the excess poison produced in their bodies.”
“Under normal circumstances, these excesses are indeed useless to them, but it can help them improve at the critical moment.”
“This Venom Frog stored a large amount of Poison Crystals. The other Venom Frogs also collected their Poison Treasures and offered them to the Venom Frog to help it evolve.”
This was the first time Teacher Yan Shan heard this.
“If the Poison Crystal can help the Venom Frog evolve, if this is true, it will definitely be a major discovery,” Teacher Yan Shan muttered, “There are very few wild Giant Swamp Poison Frog. There was one in the Jade Moon Lake about 80 years ago. Later, when it was about to die, no Giant Swamp Poison Frog appeared after it died.”
“Although we humans can quickly nurture the Giant Swamp Poison Frog, there’s still a huge difference from being wild.” “Speaking of which, I heard a few students doing soul beast research say that the evolution pattern of wild soul pets is that there are no patterns…”
Currently, the soul pets humans studied were all soul pets that signed life contracts with humans.
Because the research value was the highest, any evolution path was ridiculously valuable.
Soul beasts in the wilderness were usually less studied and difficult to study.
In addition, wilderness soul pets had a long growth period, so it was even harder to study.
“Humans aren’t the ones who understand soul beasts the most.”
Wang Che said, “Especially soul beasts in the wilderness, we humans mostly study soul pets because soul pets have a life contract with us. However, soul beasts in the wilderness don’t, especially soul beasts with higher intelligence.” “They know themselves best.”
“Your words make me feel that you’re not a student.” Teacher Yan Shan glanced at Wang Che.
“In terms of training soul pets, I’m still quite confident.” Wang Che said, “Therefore, I know more about soul pets.”
Teacher Yan Shan thought about it and felt that it made sense. Not to mention Wang Che’s farming skills, his talent of training soul pets was extraordinary. With this level, he definitely had deep research and understanding of soul pets.
“Can this Venom Frog evolve successfully?” Teacher Yan Shan asked.
“Perhaps.” Wang Che thought for a moment, “But I feel that it evolved at this time mostly because it was stimulated. It’s more like it entered a passive evolution.”
“The Poison Treasures it prepared should be enough for it to evolve. Now that one has been destroyed, it can’t complete its evolution.”
“That’s why it’s very angry now. The life force in its body was affected by emotions, causing it to passively evolve.”
With that, Wang Che continued to watch.
As expected, as the number of Poison Treasures it consumed increased, the light on its body flickered even more.
It was as if something was changing.
Even after consuming all the Poison Treasures, there was still no complete evolution.
Although its body had changed a little, it was still far from being comparable to the Giant Swamp Poison Frog.
It should not be able to evolve successfully.
Many of the Venom Frogs and Melon Poison Frogs shouted anxiously. “This…”
Teacher Yan Shan frowned slightly, not knowing what to do.
He was very familiar with teaching and planting various crops. However, when encountering a soul pet’s evolution, he really didn’t know how to deal with it.
Wang Che walked down and briefly told the students.
The students were shocked.
They didn’t expect to see wilderness soul pets evolve.
Wang Che thought for a moment and took out nearly 60 Poison Crystals from the caterpillar medal.
These Poison Crystals were collected on the lotus leaves in the area just now.
He had originally wanted to refine some leaf snacks to let the little caterpillar spit out poisonous threads.
However, because the effect of the Poison Treasure of the Melon Poison Frog might not be obvious, he had to gather more and condense it.
If he refined more snacks, it could last longer.
However, Wang Che wanted to see this Venom Frog evolve even more now.
The evolution of wild soul beasts was a little heaven-defying.
Every step was very difficult for them to evolve.
Without the meticulous training of humans and the soul contract, it required too much accumulation and luck to break through its own life form.
“Use the Insect Web to tie up these Poison Crystals and hand them over.” Wang Che said to the little caterpillar. The little caterpillar understood and immediately spat out the Insect Web to wrap the dozens of Poison Treasures before throwing them over.
Teacher Yan Shan was stunned and could not help but say, “You’re really willing to give up after spending so much effort to collect so many Poison Treasures. Even if it’s exchanged for points or money, it’s a huge sum. Poison Treasures are not easy to collect. Natural Poison Treasures are more valuable.”
Teacher Yan Shan did not expect Wang Che to give it away so decisively.
It was as if he did not care.
“This thing was originally theirs,” Wang Che said.
Moreover, Wang Che did not feel that he had spent much effort…
With the Object Control Technique, collecting them was as simple as eating and drinking.
Wang Che’s words made Teacher Yan Shan fall silent.
“That’s right.” Teacher Yan Shan sighed, “It’s theirs to begin with. I feel that you’re like my teacher.”
“Not to that extent.” Wang Che replied.
In fact, humans had paid a price to gather wild soul beast companion materials.
For example, in the Jade Moon Lake, professional Contract Soul Masters would come to check the ecosystem here every once in a while to check the living conditions of the soul beasts here.
Every day, there would be Contract Soul Masters from the military patrolling to prevent some scoundrels from acting recklessly and to save some soul beasts that were more heavily injured.
It maintained the ecosystem of the wild soul beasts.
Therefore, even if humans collected materials related to soul beasts, as long as they did not endanger the soul beasts’ lives, they would not fight humans to the death.
At most, they would be very angry.
For example, a few students had previously collected Poison Treasures and awakened a few Melon Poison Frogs. The Melon Poison Frogs had only chased after those soul pets and injured them.
When they realized that they could not snatch back the Poison Treasure, they let it go. Currently, humans and wild soul beasts interacted harmoniously. The other students watched this scene and were first surprised by the Poison Treasures Wang Che had collected.
Then, they hesitated.
They had painstakingly obtained the Poison Treasures… They were a little unwilling to return it just like that.
However, Wang Che set an example.
The other students did not think too much about it. They also handed the Poison Treasures they had collected to Wang Che and sent it over with the little caterpillar’s Insect Web.
There were nearly a hundred Poison Treasures.
Teacher Yan Shan looked at this group of students with a gratified expression.
With the lead, the effect was very obvious.
These hundred Poison Treasures were about the same as a Poison Crystal produced by a Venom Frog.
The Venom Frog that was evolving was stunned to see so many.
However, it did not think too much and immediately swallowed the Poison Treasures.
Before long, its already huge size began to change.
Its size became even larger, going from a small soul pet to a medium one.
Just its height was five to six meters tall. Its limbs were as thick as trees. Its entire body was blue and green. Its skin seemed to be plated with a layer of paint and was abnormally beautiful.
“The evolution was successful.” Wang Che sized it up for a while and discovered that this Giant Swamp Poison Frog that had evolved to the third stage in the wilderness was slightly larger than the Giant Swamp Poison Frog that a soul pet had evolved to.
Their bodies had grown over the years.
Soul pets grew quickly and had a short evolution period. Even if soul power cultivation increased the soul pet’s physical strength, compared to these soul beasts that had accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years, there was still a certain difference.
Of course, it was hard to say in actual combat.
The Giant Swamp Poison Frog had successfully evolved.
Many students were also excited and delighted.
“Caw caw!”
The Giant Swamp Poison Frog let out an earth-shattering roar.
There was a powerful aura mixed in the commotion.
It was comparable to a King-ranked soul pet!
