Chapter 688: Chapter 310: The Ancestral Return of the Little Raven! The Start of Xiao Qing’s Evolutionary Cultivation!_3
Su Ping scratched his head. This didn’t make sense!
However, there indeed was one situation like this.
In fact, at this moment, Xiao Qing wasn’t very interested either, showing no appetite for ordinary food or resources.
Indeed, a Pet Beast about to undergo Evolution could also exhibit such behavior.
But the Light of Evolution flickering on Xiao Qing’s form had flashed countless times already during the rescue of the Life Ancient Tree just a moment ago.
Yet, there wasn’t a speck of Light of Evolution on the Little Crow’s body!
Wait a second!
Su Ping suddenly froze as if he had realized something.
He frowned and looked at the Little Crow before him. Then, with a thought, he took something out of the Beast Taming Space.
A Flame Fruit!
It was a special resource formed under the Traits of the Fire Cultivation Realm, one that only Su Ping could create. This resource had an extremely short shelf life and significant limitations, making it quite useless to most.
But this thing was Little Flame’s favorite, and it used to be the Little Crow’s favorite too.
And sure enough, almost as soon as the Flame Fruit appeared in Su Ping’s hand, the previously listless Little Crow perked up, fixating on it with an excitement that made Li Shu cry out, “A medical miracle!” from the sidelines.
“GAGA GAGA!”
The Little Crow’s voice seemed much louder at this moment.
Su Ping didn’t tease the weak little fellow but quickly tossed it the fruit.
Indeed, after consuming it, the Little Crow seemed as satisfied as a junkie getting his fix, almost entirely shedding its previous lethargy and listlessness!
Could it really be?
Su Ping’s eyes narrowed slowly.
As a now quite accomplished Breeder, he naturally hadn’t forgotten the research outcomes and theories he had previously developed with Ye Zhou.
For the ancestral Evolution of Pet Beasts, the Little Crow was a very important reference Pet Beast.
Su Ping hadn’t forgotten about that Darkflame Ancient Raven.
According to the theories Su Ping deduced, there had been some changes in the Traits of the Energy in the air during ancient times. The reason why some Pet Beasts degenerated was due to the loss of this Trait, leading to a weakening of their powers. Although it seemed possible that the disappearance of this Trait made some other Pet Beasts even stronger, the main research currently focused on the ancestral aspect.
The Flame-Eating Crow and the Darkflame Ancient Raven were likely a part of this group.
So, the current weakness of Toothy… could it be due to a lack of this ancient Energy intake?
He remembered that in the previous valley, it was the emergence of the Fire Phoenix—the Totem of the Ten Thousand Bird Faith—carrying a vast breath of ancient Energy, that likely caused Toothy’s Mutation. Not only that, but it also affected Toothy’s relatives—other powerful Flame-Eating Crows—even causing them to undergo ancestral Evolution into the Darkflame Ancient Ravens, a species that had disappeared for hundreds of years!
At that time, Toothy wasn’t lacking in this type of Energy Trait.
Yet, upon arriving at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, this Energy began to dissipate, naturally leading to a deficiency!
Thinking of this, Su Ping’s brow furrowed.
No, that’s not right!
Based on the theories of Pet Beast evolutionary Mutation, Toothy, who had already undergone Mutation, should not be this weak even if it lacked this ancient, unknown Energy! Because Toothy’s life form had not been affected. It was just that without this Energy, Toothy’s offspring would not exhibit the same type of ancestral Mutation but would instead continue to evolve into ordinary Flame-Eating Crows.
So, what’s going on with the Little Crow’s current weakness?
Su Ping held his chin, turning his gaze back to the Little Crow that had recuperated.
Its head, already much larger than that of an ordinary Flame-Eating Crow, gently nuzzled Su Ping’s palm, expressing its affection and gratitude for the replenishment of Flame Fruit.
Su Ping then used Psychic Communication to ask, “Little guy, do you want more?”
“GAGA GAGA!”
Desire filled the Little Crow’s glossy black pupils.
Without hesitation, Su Ping took out two more Flame Fruits. Both were Advanced Level goods, condensed at his current Commander Level Realm.
The Little Crow didn’t think twice, swallowing them in one gulp!
An indescribable aura of Flames rapidly burst forth from the Little Crow!
Simultaneously, dark Flames appeared around Toothy.
Su Ping’s gaze was locked on the Little Crow. Within the Flames, its body seemed to grow larger, but this change quickly reverted to normal.
“BURP!”
A burp, uncharacteristic of an ordinary Flame-Eating Crow, escaped from the little one.
It was obvious Toothy was very satisfied.
“Had enough? Want more?”
“GAGA GAGA!”
Toothy shook its head, continuing to show that affectionate demeanor.
However, a smile appeared on Su Ping’s face.
He didn’t have complete certainty, but he could somewhat guess why Toothy was experiencing such changes.
This wasn’t bad news!
In fact, it was an unexpectedly great piece of news!
If his guess wasn’t wrong, Toothy might very well be on the same path as the Darkflame Ancient Raven from the Fire Phoenix Valley, poised to begin its ancestral Evolution!
Recently, Su Ping had gained a significant understanding of the Darkflame Ancient Ravens. After all, he had a perfect research specimen from hundreds of years ago.
