Chapter 215: The Third Evolution pathway of the Light Ball! (Two-In-One Chapter)
In front of the huge white ball of light, a Holy Brilliance Spirit stood there.
Its body emitted a piercing light, making it difficult to look at.
It stood in the air like a king. Every move it made brought indescribable pressure to the bald man and the others.
The bald man looked at the thin young man whose life and death was unknown, then stared at the huge light elemental crystal. There was heat and struggle in his eyes, but after an instant, he restrained his greed and patted the Forest Griffin under him…
Retreat!
The Forest Griffin roared, flapped its brown wings, and flew towards a relatively wide gap below.
But when the other Sprite Trainer riding the Wind Chasing Horse saw the Holy Brilliance Spirit King turn into light and chase after the bald man, he gritted his teeth and made the Wind Chasing Horse pounce towards the huge crystal.
“Neighhh!”
The Wind Chasing Horse approached in a few breaths. On the horse’s back, the man shook his tactical backpack. After shaking out everything inside, he suddenly aggressively pounced towards the huge crystal.
His expression gradually became ecstatic, but the joy only lasted for less than half an instant…
On the huge light elemental crystal, an even more dazzling and dazzling light blossomed.
The high temperature produced by the light burned the entire tactical backpack. A protective light s.h.i.+eld also appeared on the man’s body, with circles of ripples continuously appearing on it.
His Wind Chasing Horse was also burnt, there were some charred marks on its white wings.
At this moment…
The angry Holy Brilliance Spirit King charged back. Its palms were pressed together, and a dazzling, blazing white sun appeared. The whole valley seemed to be left with only a vast expanse of white.
After a while, the surroundings of the light elemental crystal had already been cleared.
The Holy Brilliance Spirit King’s chest heaved as it took a breath. Then, it flew out with a swoosh and chased after the other intruders.
In the Land of Light.
A group of light b.a.l.l.s hid in a corner, bouncing up and down.
A few spiritual pigeons made cooing sounds as they flew around.
Explosions and shouts sounded out continuously.
Smoke and dust filled the air.
No one noticed that a figure was quietly approaching.
Su Hao glanced at the map. After confirming that there were no powerful hidden sprites…
“Tsk it!” he said, and added, “Control your strength.”
“Gurgle~”
b.u.t.terfly threw out a few Energy b.a.l.l.s and exploded with a boom. On the surface of the huge light elemental crystal, the power set up by the Holy Brilliance Spirit King erupted again.
It was dazzling.
But that power was just water without any source. After b.u.t.terfly blasted more than ten times, it used its Psychic power to probe and offset the final power.
“Gurgle~!”
It succeeded.
Su Hao approached on the Dumb Unicorn, put it in the tactical backpack, and carried it away directly!
It was a little hot. The protective screen had already appeared.
But it wasn’t strong, and the consumption of soul power was slow.
“Retreat!”
A horse, a man, and a b.u.t.terfly quickly flew upwards towards the entrance of the valley.
…
Holy Brilliance Spirit King returned through the gap below.
At this point, the battle in the valley had already become much quieter. The light-element sprites had completely gained the upper hand.
The sprites of the exploration team were either dead or summoned outside.
The extraordinary-level Holy Brilliance Spirit waved its hand and swept up a gust of wind, dispersing the surrounding smoke and dust. Like a king, it patrolled its territory, especially that most important treasure…
It was suddenly stunned.
Where’s my huge, light elemental crystal?!!
The Holy Brilliance Spirit King was stunned and angry. The patterns on its body glowed with a piercing light as waves of pressure spread out, its gaze quickly sweeping the surroundings.
It saw the distant figure above the valley.
“Eh…!!!”
It rushed up.
…
After flying out of the entrance at the top of the mountain which wasn’t very wide, Su Hao instructed the Water Unicorn Beast to descend.
But before he landed on the ground, he heard a sharp, angry howl.
A blazing white shadow streaked across the air, enlarging in his vision with a whoosh.
Running Unicorn could not outrun the Holy Brilliance Spirit King.
Su Hao had expected this. Holy Brilliance Spirit was a sprite that was good at speed to begin with. Its speed in a straight line sprint was one of the best among its peers, let alone an extraordinary-level one.
When he made the move, he already considered the possibility of being caught up.
It had also repeatedly researched the battle power of the Holy Brilliance Spirit King!
“Flaming Spiritcrow!”
He shouted in the contract.
The Flaming Spiritcrow, which had long been waiting outside the valley, let out a sharp cry.
“Squawk…”
Rolling flames burned. In the thick mist, a dazzling red sun suddenly rose.
Amidst the scorching sun, a crescent-shaped, crimson sword light more than ten meters long was slashed out!
The Flaming Spiritcrow that had been acc.u.mulating power for a long time erupted with full force.
The hot flames evaporated the air, and the dense fog became much thinner.
The sword beam flashed past in an instant and appeared in front of the Holy Brilliance Spirit King.
It clearly sensed the danger. Its wings of light straightened as it reached forward with both hands and twisted abruptly. Its piercing gaze formed circles of light that collided with the flaming blade light.
Boom~!
Flames erupted and light was dazzling.
Shock waves swept across the surroundings.
The blazing white light rushed out from it. It raised its hand and shot out countless resplendent beams of light, directly towards the scarlet blazing sun.
“Flaming Spiritcrow is injured.”
Su Hao looked back. White and red lights interweaved in the air continuously.
Thunder appeared from time to time, and emerald green energy b.a.l.l.s exploded.
Without looking much, he hugged the Water Unicorn Beast’s neck tightly, lowered his body, and followed the Water Unicorn Beast to the ground before entering the forest.
“Holy Brilliance Spirit is good at sprinting in a straight line… To the left! Run towards the complicated terrain!”
He said.
Behind them, the Holy Brilliance Spirit King was chasing after them, ignoring the entanglement of the three sprites.
From time to time, Su Hao saw light beams shooting over and landing not far from him. Some pierced through huge trees that needed several people to wrap their arms around, while others exploded.
He rode the Water Unicorn Beast and kept running, running…
Gradually, there was no more movement behind him.
Su Hao opened the interface map and quickly scanned it.
There was no icon of the Holy Brilliance Spirit.
He heaved a sigh of relief and immediately spread his fingers. One and two engraved marks appeared.
b.u.t.terfly appeared.
Next was the Electric Bear. Finally, a Fire Crow with countless light and heat emitting from its body appeared.
As soon as it appeared, it hurriedly converged the surrounding flames and removed its Sun Form.
Among the three sprites, the Flaming Spiritcrow was the main battle force. It had been constantly entangled with the Holy Brilliance Spirit King, and it looked the most miserable.
A lot of its dark red feathers had fallen, and there were also many wounds torn by fine light in front of it.
But it still raised its head and made a proud “Squawk”.
In other words, it had also injured the Holy Brilliance Spirit.
“Yes, you’re the best.”
After thinking about it, Su Hao added, “All of you are the best.”
He said to the other three sprites and continued to stare at the interface, not daring to relax.
b.u.t.terfly used its psychic power to take out the healing spray. After briefly treating its injuries, Su Hao’s team headed towards the direction outside the island.
Along the way, Su Hao used the interface map to avoid some difficult wild sprites.
After more than a hundred minutes, they finally arrived at a cliff.
He looked over. The blue lake was like a treasure, reflecting sparkles under the sun.
“I remember that Thousand Peak Island is at the east.”
But he couldn’t see it, he could only vaguely see a few small islands, the distance between the three large islands was very far.
Su Hao looked down at the worn-out tactical backpack and felt troubled.
As the wind and waves blew, his heart also seemed to have cooled down.
He… got a little carried away s.n.a.t.c.hing the huge light elemental crystal.
The end result was good, but he still felt a little scared when he recalled the experience.
He was also a little excited.
“But, how should I deal with such a big light elemental crystal?
“Its value might be equal to dozens or hundreds of Hearts of Attributes.”
“If I bring it back to Whale State City, I can deal with it, but I’m afraid that I’ll encounter trouble on the way…”
When he returned to the city, there was no law that did not allow s.n.a.t.c.hing spoils of war… Besides, he had a backer.
It was just that…
The spoils of war were hundreds of millions in value.
It could be sold, but it would also make others greedy.
Besides, what if I encounter robbers on the way…
“Will such a big light elemental crystal be sensed and discovered by other sprites? It’s also a problem.”
Bald head!
He felt that bringing the Light-Element Crystal along was too risky.
“Unless… SOS!”
Senior Wu’s figure appeared in Su Hao’s mind.
He trusted Senior Wu’s character.
He was also a Heavenly King-level big boss. To him, a light elemental crystal shouldn’t be much.
The discovery of the Land of Light has very high contributions. In fact, I can’t swallow it alone, nor can I handle it. It’s best to submit it to the school. I can also share some benefits…
“Cut half of the light elemental crystal and give it to Senior Wu, then entrust it to Senior Wu to deal with it.”
Su Hao admitted that he was a very easily contented person… mainly because the light elemental crystal tempted him first.
Cough, cough!
He made a decision.
He buried the tactical backpack containing the huge light elemental crystal deep underground and erased the traces.
b.u.t.terfly raised its little hand and volunteered to stay behind to keep watch.
“Alright,” Su Hao said. “I’ll leave the Electric Bear behind too. You guys hide. As long as you can see the buried location.”
…
The Dragon Court Lake area… was at least safe in the air.
Su Hao rode the Water Unicorn Beast and the Flaming Spiritcrow danced around him.
They arrived at Thousand Peak Island without any surprises or danger along the way. When they arrived, the Dumb Unicorn, which had flown for a long time, was already so tired that it kept sticking out its tongue.
“Neighhh ~ ~”
Su Hao found the instructor who stayed behind in the camp and contacted Heavenly King Wu.
He explained the situation.
“It’s a small matter. Isn’t it just an elemental crystal? It’s still an elemental crystal even if it’s a little bigger.”
Heavenly King Wu said.
The Trading Puppet took off again. Twenty minutes later, Su Hao and Heavenly King Wu arrived at Mist Island.
After finding the place where the backpack was buried, the powerful Psychic power of the Trading Puppet transformed into an excavator cover and instantly, countless soil flew everywhere…
Before long, a tattered tactical backpack was grabbed by Psychic power.
Wisps of light pierced out of the hole in the backpack.
“From the looks of it, it’s indeed a very big elemental crystal. Your luck is pretty good, just a little worse than when I first left for the wild back then.”
Heavenly King Wu swept his hair and revealed a look of reminiscence.
However, he didn’t notice that the Trading Puppet’s eyes had already turned into ←_←.
At this moment.
The backpack was lifted, and Psychic grabbed the light elemental crystal, pulling it out bit by bit.
Heavenly King Wu was still recalling. “…Back then, I was… but…”
He felt that his eyes were shaking a little uncomfortably. When he looked up, his eyes were about to pop out.
“What the f*ck!?”
Heavenly King Wu couldn’t help but turn and ask, “You said that the slightly big light-element crystal, is this one?”
Su Hao nodded.
“Do you know that ordinary elemental crystals are only the size of a fist?!”
Su Hao nodded.
“Then… Can’t you use a better adjective!”
Su Hao looked innocent.
Was he not clear enough? It seemed… not clear enough.
Well, it wasn’t a big problem.
“Such a big one, with only a weak extraordinary-level guardian?”
Heavenly King Wu was envious.
He had to admit that Su Hao’s luck was a little better than his!!
“If not for the fact that I don’t have a light-element sprite, I would be tempted by such a big one.”
“Is it that… precious?”
“You don’t understand. When the size of an elemental crystal exceeds a certain limit, its value increases tenfold or even a hundredfold.”
“Let’s put it this way. For example, the one in front of me, letting a suitable light type pseudo monarch sprite absorb it, has a high chance of breaking through to monarch rank and giving birth to a Heavenly King-level Sprite Trainer!”
Once Senior Wu said that, Su Hao immediately took a deep breath…
He immediately said, “Senior, please help me sell it. I only need half. I’m also preparing to hand over the Land of Light to the school.”
When Heavenly King Wu heard this, his expression was displeased. “I, your senior, am a dignified Heavenly King. There’s no need for me to ask for so little from you.”
He snorted. “You don’t need me to sell it for you. Just sell it to the school. It’s easy for the school to take such an elemental crystal. You can also exchange it for many cultivation resources.”
“Of course, such a big one can no longer be measured in value. It’s more disadvantageous to sell it directly.”
But Su Hao understood.
If he didn’t sell it, he wouldn’t be able to bring out the full effect of the big light ball either. It would be wasted in his hands.
He might as well exchange it for the resources he needed.
“Let’s go to the Land of Light and take a look,” Heavenly King Wu said. “Light-element sprites are also very precious. You don’t even need to worry about the four years of cultivation spent during this exploration. It’s enough for you to nurture two to three extraordinary-level sprites.”
As he spoke, Psychic power enveloped him.
Trading Puppet carried everyone’s sprites and flew at a low alt.i.tude on the island.
Dense fog and limited vision made exploring extremely inconvenient.
It was also the reason why Mist Island had the most precious materials.
Trading Puppet flew continuously for about an hour or two before Su Hao suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
He wasn’t pretending to be difficult to find.
It was indeed hard to find.
He saw that the cute light-element sprite icon finally appeared on the interface, before confirming its location.
Su Hao looked straight ahead, pretending to observe his surroundings. After a moment…
“To the left.”
“On the upper left.”
“To the right, a little to the right.”
“Straight ahead.”
“Fly higher, I see it, it’s there!”
Amidst the thick mist, an ordinary-looking mountain appeared in his vision.
If Su Hao hadn’t said so, Heavenly King Wu wouldn’t have imagined that there was a universe in the mountain peak.
It flew in from the opening at the top of the mountain.
At this moment…
Without the huge light elemental crystal, the whole Land of Light had already become much dimmer, but there were still other much smaller light elemental crystals emitting light.
The moment the two of them and a few sprites appeared, they attracted the attention of the sprites in the valley.
The Holy Brilliance Spirit King saw that person.
That crow!
That treasure!
Its eyes immediately… turned red.
It pounced over with a sharp howl.
It suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Su Hao saw thin threads fly out of the Trading Puppet’s hand. The extraordinary-level Holy Brilliance Spirit immediately couldn’t move.
The power of a monarch was as strong as…
The two slowly landed.
The other light-element sprites in the surroundings trembled under the pressure of the monarch-level sprite.
“There has to be more than 100 light-element sprites. Moreover, this place itself is somewhat special. Even without the huge light-element crystal, sprites can still be born in the future…”
“It’s very valuable. You’ve contributed a lot.”
Heavenly King Wu took a look and made a judgment.
Su Hao looked at the sprites around him, thought for a moment, and asked, “How do you usally handle these sprites?”
Heavenly King Wu: “According to their strength, they will be sent to different watch areas. There will be specialists to ‘educate’ them. The batch that can be contracted will have priority in being contracted. Those that can’t be contracted will be provided to various large laboratories…”
The Union’s claim to the outside world was for the harmonious development of humans and sprites, but in fact, humans naturally prioritized themselves.
Because humans were the masters of the world.
Without the laboratory’s research on various sprites, there wouldn’t be the glory of the Union of Sprite Trainers today.
The Union also had regulations that gentle methods were necessary for research of sprites.
“What about that Holy Brilliance Spirit? The laboratory can’t keep an eye on it, right?”
“It?” Heavenly King Wu glanced at it.
Holy Brilliance Spirit was bound and struggled for a long time, but it couldn’t move. It gradually quietened down.
Honest.jpg
“High-level sprites are all intelligent, but they are also innocent. Perhaps it is very angry right now, but as long as it is fed well and treated well, it isn’t difficult to get it to cooperate with research obediently.”
Su Hao glanced at it and felt that physical intimidation was the key.
He also mentioned to Heavenly King Wu that he wanted a few Moonlight Rabbits and Light-Wis.h.i.+ng b.u.t.terflies to fill the laboratory.
“I’ll just give them some instructions. You still want to find a light-element sprite to contract, right?” Heavenly King Wu smiled and said, “Choose now? Or wait until after they’re sent to the watch area for ‘education’?”
“I want to give it a try now.”
Su Hao mainly wanted to find talented sprites and mark them.
But he hadn’t thought about whether he was a contracting Light Ball, a Moonlight Rabbit, or a Fluorescent Worm.
Moonlight Rabbit and Fluorescent Worms were the initial stages of Moonlight Rabbit and Light-Wis.h.i.+ng b.u.t.terfly.
Su Hao clicked open the initial form sprites and carefully read their information.
He even squatted in front of them to observe.
That made a few Light b.a.l.l.s jump away in panic like frightened deers, hitting the rock wall with a bang. Like b.a.l.l.s of dough being squeezed into a flat shape, they slid down again.
“Eh…”
Su Hao was suddenly stunned.
He saw that under the evolution pathway of one of the light cl.u.s.ters, there were actually three types of pathways “1, 2, 3”!
“It’s not bloodline evolution, but clearly, only a portion of light cl.u.s.ters possess the third pathway.”
Su Hao judged that perhaps some Light b.a.l.l.s lost the possibility of evolution during the development process.
So they were striked off by the interface.
He looked over.
[Sprite: Light Ball]
[Evolutionary pathway:
(1) → Morning Light Spirit (Light) → Holy Brilliance Spirit (Light);
(2) → Twilight Spirit (Light) → Dark Star Spirit (Dark);
(3) → “A dark silhouette” (unlock with 10 Intelligence Points) → “A dark silhouette” (unlock conditions not met)
Without hesitation, he directly used 1 Intelligence Point to unlock the brief description of the evolution form.
Instantly, his eyes widened.
