Chapter 51: Evolution (1)

Long Hao Chen observed the evolution of the Earthfire Lizard carefully; his right hand was clenching into a fist. Despite the fact that his blood was still being drained, he looked quite stable.

Layer upon layer of gold-colored halos were unceasingly cleansing the body of the Earthfire Lizard as it emitted a white smoke, the wounds on its back becoming vestiges of the past. Clearly, the dark energy of this Earthfire Lizard was being attacked by the holy energy, and it looked painful.

If not for the contract of equals between them, the large amount holy energy released by Long Hao Chen's physique as a Scion of Light would have already destroyed it.

Veins appeared on the Earthfire Lizard's face; blood was continuously seeping out from its mouth as it violently shivered, its four claws tightly dug into the ground from beginning to end to prevent it from making sudden movements.

It lifted up its head towards Long Hao Chen, and human and beast looked at each other with looks filled with determination and affection. That's right, their eyes were filled with the affection family members would have for each other.

With his blood still being drained, Long Hao Chen's face became paler and paler, and signs that he was becoming feebler were appearing. Even though he was already above the 1,000th spiritual energy level, he was still human in the end. If a human lost a third of his blood, he would die, and at the rate he was losing his blood, it would not be long before this kind of fatality would occur.

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second, and both Ye Hua and the handicapped elder were, at this moment, extremely nervous.

The handicapped elder, guardian of the Sacred Mountain, was not young anymore, and it was not the first time he had seen this kind of situation. It looked like this was likely to be successful. In the first scenario, the Earthfire lizard would not be able to bear the holy blood baptism and would die. In the second scenario, after the holy blood baptism was done, it would become magical beast with a physique of light and Long Hao Chen would have reached his goal. In the third scenario, the Earthfire Lizard would not be able to stand the pain and would run away from the baptism. All of the effort would have been for naught in this case. In the fourth scenario, the one that the disabled elder and Ye Hua were the most unwilling to see, Long Hao Chen would be unable to persevere because of the blood loss. If it got to that point, not only would the Earthfire Lizard's baptism not be completed, but Long Hao Chen's life would also be endangered because of the blood loss.

Long Hao Chen's right hand that was originally steady began to gradually shiver more and more. His fair white skin had already turned pale, the original luster and moisture had disappeared long ago. The speed of the blood flowing in his wrist was also gradually slowing; besides the external harm to his body, he had also lost a large amount of blood.

However, the strange thing was that, right now, the body of the Earthfire Lizard was not shivering. On its originally pitch black colored scales, a faint golden luster was forming little by little. The rotted wounds were healing at an astonishing speed. Clearly, the hard times were over, and its body was transforming at an astonishing speed.

The most peculiar changes were on the contract mark on the bodies of Long Hao Chen and this Earthfire Lizard, simultaneously acquiring, little by little, a purple-gold color. It was already purple-colored in the past, but with the addition of this faint golden luster, the whole mark appeared a lot more dazzling. The layer of purple mist also became duller, and behind it, astonishingly complex patterns could faintly be seen.

Long Hao Chen's body shook, almost falling down.

"Not good, Hao Chen cannot persevere." Ye Hua's heart was beating quickly. He could not refrain himself from rushing to his side.

"Keep waiting." The handicapped elder lifted his hand, blocking Ye Hua from rushing forward.

Long Hao Chen lifted up his left hand, pressing it on the neck of the Earthfire Lizard to support his own body. He was already unable to see anything before him clearly; the blood loss gave him a dizzy feeling that could make him fall down at any time.

Do not abandon, do not renounce. Long Hao Chen gritted his teeth and bore the pain, silently remembering these six words.

Despite the fact that he had not spent a significant amount of time together with this Earthfire Lizard, it was the first time he experienced the effects of this contract of equals. The fact that he felt as familiar with it as a close relative, while hating the idea of having to leave its side, showed that it already had an important place in his heart.

Long Hao Chen had no siblings; these few years, Li Xin was like a dear sister to him. A moment ago, he made this ultimate decision because he thought if such a calamity were to fall upon him, would Li Xin not have chosen to do the same?

Companion, what is a companion? Together in life and in death, that is what a genuine companion is.

Vaguely seeing the Earthfire Lizard in his sight at this moment, Long Hao Chen did not find it ugly at all.

At this moment, more than a third of Long Hao Chen's blood was already drained out; his situation was critical.

The handicapped elder had stopped Ye Hua, but made preparations to intervene at any time. In the case Long Hao Chen's vitality was exhausted to the very limit, he would immediately make his move

"HOUU–" A roaring sound full of excitement resounded while a golden luster was being emitted from within the Earthflame Lizard. The darkness attribute aura vanished completely, together with its fierceness.

A golden light shot out from the hands of the elder directed at Long Hao Chen's wounded wrist, healing it instantly.

Long Hao Chen's body felt weak: he had already fallen down, but he still did not lose consciousness because he wanted to see whether he had succeeded or not.

A wet tongue was gently licking his face; the pair of red little eyes brimming with health and vigor were just like two embedded rubies.

The gold-purple-colored agreement mark on its back was quietly disappearing, and the wounds on the Earthfire Lizard's body had already disappeared as its scales took the shape of a shield and a golden luster was being emitted all around.

Ye Hua let out a sigh and advanced at a stroll, with the intent of having Long Hao Chen take some medicine. He knew that Long Hao Chen had succeeded, but he had paid a great price for that. Having lost so much blood, he would, unfortunately, take about a year to recover.

"HOUU–" The Earthfire Lizard suddenly approached Ye Hua, letting out a deep roar and looking at him with its pair of healthy little red-colored eyes. A big fireball was released from its mouth, aiming to bombard Ye Hua directly.

"Mh?!" Ye Hua really did not expect that action as a [Divine Light Mantle] wrapped around him, aiming to block the incoming fireball.

"Let's not approach him for the moment! It seems like he is trying to do something!" The handicapped elder shouted loudly.

The Earthfire Lizard's little fireball stopped Ye Hua in his tracks, and its gaze was directed at Long Hao Chen's weakened face once more. Right afterwards, a purple-colored brilliance suddenly appeared, emitted from its back and directed at the top of the cave.

This purple ray was aimed straight; it was as if its back was suddenly split open, letting bright patterns appear, before the Earthfire Lizard lifted its head once more. Only, at this moment, a purple-colored brilliance appeared in its pair of red eyes. These purple shrouded eyes seemed ice cold and noble.


Chapter 52: Evolution (2)

Purple-colored patterns extended on its back from its tail to neck, and from there, starting to extend in a non-straight line into two paths: the first one going to the top of its head and the second one going to the bulge above its neck.

A peculiar spiritual energy was calmly undulating. The Earthfire Lizard suddenly seemed to be in pain, but it was mostly excited. Its body started to shake violently. This unstable spiritual energy was still surging out in the shape of purple-colored lines, but the level of these undulations clearly exceeded what an average second step magical beast could do.

"Evolution?! This Earthfire Lizard wants to evolve!" The handicapped elder cried out in alarm. A magical beast evolving was not a rare thing, but generally, only magical beasts above the fifth step had the possibility to evolve. This Earthfire Lizard was merely a second step magical beast, but right after having received Long Hao Chen's blood, it wanted to evolve!

With a Pu sound, intense purple-colored turbulences suddenly appeared in the air, and immediately, its one meter tall body started to grow at an intense speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

The evolution was not just about the size of its body, the scales also underwent fantastic changes: from their originally flat and slippery appearance, they became sharper and longer, visibly thicker. The most peculiar change was on the bulge above its neck: this bulge, unexpectedly, expanded together with the rest of the body.

With a Puchi sound, the body of the Earthfire Lizard suddenly became stiff, and immediately afterwards, from the bulge on its neck, a brand new head started forming, appearing by the side of its former head. At this moment, its body grew two meters long from its former length of a meter.

A purple light suddenly shone and it was as if everything became motionless. The purple colored patterns extended to its second head, a few traces of bulges forming above this second head; it looked much fiercer.

It seemed that after the evolution, there was no difference between the second head and the first one. The only thing that was not similar was the color of the eyes. This second head had a pair of gold-colored eyes.

After the evolution of the Earthfire Lizard, its four main limbs became much thicker and the shell on its back more resistant. Its new appearance after the evolution, resulting in this pair of heads, did not look handicapped anymore like it used to because of the former bulge on its neck.

After having evolved, by the root of the neck of the second head, a new bulge appeared again. Only, it was not as big as the former bulge, it was just the size of a fist.

"Fourth step middle rank?" Ye Hua and the handicapped elder looked at each other, face to face; in their eyes, there was a look of extreme shock.

Each magical beast step was divided into low rank, middle rank, high rank, and peak rank. To jump from the middle rank of the second step to the middle rank of the fourth step was an eight-stage evolution!

Not even speaking about having seen that in the past, they had not even heard about this kind of phenomenon. Ordinary evolutions of magical beast were supposed to make only a few changes to the body at most, increasing strength by a bit and raising from the middle rank to the high rank. A step evolution was something they never heard of, but it was just accomplished by this Earthfire Lizard before their eyes.

No, it could not be called an Earthfire Lizard anymore: the second head's attribute was completely different, emitting a holy aura.

A dual-headed dual-attributed lizard race magical beast, what kind of species was that?! In particular, after the breakthrough that occurred during this evolution, the new appearance of this Earthfire Lizard was not that of a good-for-nothing magical beast anymore.

Ye Hua paid special attention to the new bulge that appeared from its new head; could it be that a third head would appear in the next evolution of this Earthfire Lizard?

Ye Hua swallowed a gulp of his saliva and asked the elder by his side, "Elder, do you recognize this kind of magical beast?"

The elder bitterly laughed as he shook his head, "Not in the least. There is no one who can identify all the kinds of magical beasts, especially those summoned from different dimensions. It looks like this little guy had picked up a treasure! So long as this lizard can evolve once more, Long Hao Chen will possess an outstanding mount. Yi , what is he doing?!"

While they were speaking, the two-headed lizard who just completed its evolution lowered its pair of heads. Long Hao Chen watched attentively, also shocked by the evolution. The long tail was swung from behind to the front and the second head bit into it, effusing an insipid purple colored blood. With this evolution, the color of its blood had also unexpectedly changed.

The agreement mark appeared once more, but this agreement mark on the back of the lizard did not grow bigger together with the evolution; this time, the lizard was the one who triggered its apparition.

The long tail slowly moved forward, purple blood flowing at the edge of its tail, directly aiming for the mark on Long Hao Chen's forehead.

Long Hao Chen's body remained stiff as he felt a warm blazing current flowing, pouring into his forehead, and instantly spreading through his entire body.

"Returning the favor. He's using his own blood to transmit it to Hao Chen." Ye Hua was amazed at this scene.

The higher the level of a magical beast, the more intelligent it was supposed to be. Magical beasts above the sixth step were supposed to have an intelligence superior to that of humans, but this two headed lizard before their eyes seemed excessively intelligent; it had even learned the method Long Hao Chen used to help him to make up for the deficiency of Long Hao Chen's blood.

Two heads, four eyes, two red and two golden colored, warmly gazed at Long Hao Chen, the body of the two headed lizard lightly shaking.

Veins started to appear, going from Long Hao Chen's forehead to the rest of his body; he felt as if his whole body was a kind of forge and was unable to say if he felt painful or comfortable. He could only vaguely sense his blood vessels filling with a scorching hot feeling, undergoing changes capable of turning heaven and earth upside down. His dull feeling gradually disappeared in this scorching hot feeling.

The insipid blood was flowing out from the two headed lizard's body, taking the shape of a red halo, slowly converging and then gathering into the agreement mark on its back.

Long Hao Chen and the lizard shook simultaneously, and both sides sensing a vague familiar feeling.

"Their blood contract is even deeper than the relation between master and servant." The handicapped elder involuntarily shouted out, "Starting a blood link to save his master! This two-headed lizard is really repaying Hao Chen for his kindness."

Ye Hua also knew about the blood contract, a rare kind of extreme contract: as long as Long Hao Chen was the slightest bit harmed, this two-headed lizard would be harmed too. And if Long Hao Chen was to die, then it would undoubtedly die as well. However, if he was the one to die, that would not affect Long Hao Chen the slightest bit.

A blood contract was said to have a lot of other uses: it was even possible for one to transmit his capabilities to his master through it. Though generally, no magical beast was willing to enter this kind of contract; thus, the mysteries of blood contracts were something known by only a few people.

The handicapped elder took a deep breath, speaking slowly: "Whether this lizard can or cannot evolve once more in the future, he will be far closer to your disciple than any other knight companion. This is, perhaps, something beneficial coming from this setback."

The radiance gradually vanished and the purple veined patterns on Long Hao Chen's body were slowly disappearing. The two-headed lizard took back its tail, advancing to Long Hao Chen's side, using its two heads to gently stroke his leg.

"I have such a great companion! My name is Hao Chen, and I will give you this name, Hao Yue"
