Chapter 58: The Thunder Sound Stone and Liuliu Yue’s Sweet Suffering
Forbidden area, inside the Crossing Star Boat—
He had just stepped into this forbidden area for the first second.
At the same time, Wuse Tao, Luo Xinglai, and Yu Qing Guan received guidance from the Reverse Time Meeting in their minds.
[The location of the Exclusive Evolution Roadmap has been announced]
[Unknown system, rank unclear, test failed…]
[Unknown system, rank unclear, test failed…]
[Difficulty level increased, reward changed—up to 5 participants will receive a skill from their own system (random Emerald → chosen Emerald)]
"Ah…?"
"The difficulty changed, and it can still be like this???"
"Is this Reverse Time Meeting really going to work???"
Seeing this brand new task prompt, Yu Qing Guan and Wuse Tao looked surprised.
However, at this moment, Luo Xinglai stood there in silence, staring at the specific coordinates released by the Reverse Time Meeting, her expression becoming increasingly serious.
"It seems a bit bad…"
"What’s wrong?" Yu Qing Guan asked curiously.
"This coordinate is about 70% of our exploration progress. This is the farthest we, the strategy group of Xingfu Academy, have gone in years…"
"So, what’s wrong?"
"No, stop arguing with me! Just tell me what’s wrong!!!"
Luo Xinglai noticed.
This Yu Qing Guan was just here to cause trouble.
The two women suddenly started arguing.
Upon hearing this, Wuse Tao crossed her arms and began to analyze thoughtfully.
"If we’re at 70% progress, there should be quite a few complete-stage Battle Pets over there. It’s almost impossible to see any mature-stage creatures, and there’s even a high chance of encountering ultimate-stage and royal rank ones. No wonder the difficulty of the task has suddenly increased…"
"This has become a big problem. Even the strategy team from Xingfu Academy couldn’t reach there. With just the three of us, it might be very hard to complete the task…"
"Wait a moment, the strategy team is focused on advancing, right? But now that we have the exact location, can’t we sneak in and then escape? Maybe it’s not as difficult as we thought~~"
Yu Qing Guan seriously asked while pressing down on Luo Xinglai’s head.
Even though they were arguing, Luo Xinglai’s height and build meant she couldn’t even reach herself if she jumped.
"That’s true, it is one possibility, but the danger is too great…"
"You two are a dark type and a wind type, which are better at stealth, but I’m a thunder-type Battle Pet Master. If I make a move, I will definitely attract nearby wild Battle Pets, which isn’t good."
"No, can you two please stop messing around!!! What if we attract enemies right at the entrance? This is a forbidden area! Do you know what a forbidden area is!?"
Wuse Tao analyzed for a long time, but realized no one was listening to her. She was so angry that she pushed apart the two people fighting in the forbidden area.
After being pushed aside, Luo Xinglai huffed coldly and turned to fix her messy hair.
Yu Qing Guan raised an eyebrow and buttoned up her torn collar.
Half a minute later, when both sides had calmed down, Wuse Tao repeated her earlier theory.
"It’s fine, as long as you don’t make a move…"
"Even though Crossing Star Boat is a high-risk forbidden area, Battle Pets are not very crowded there. If we stay hidden the whole time, we might not get a chance to act until we leave…"
Yu Qing Guan casually let out a fart that had a strange sense of imagination.
Is it really possible to explore a forbidden area without encountering wild Battle Pets?
Luo Xinglai and Wuse Tao were somewhat speechless.
However, it is true that Battle Pets are more scattered within Crossing Star State.
Moreover, since we are already here, no one should back out at the last moment.
After discussing for a moment, the three of them decided to continue with the mission.
Luo Xinglai summoned the Starless Princess.
The Starless Princess waved her hand, and a layer of shadow, unique to dark-type Battle Pets, covered the three of them, making them even less noticeable on the already secluded Crossing Star Boat island.
"Luo Xinglai, fighting means love, and we may tease each other, but at this important moment, we are still teammates. You won’t suddenly remove this shadow from me and betray me, right?"
After walking a few kilometers, Yu Qing Guan cautiously asked.
Upon hearing this, Luo Xinglai’s eyes sparkled with excitement, "That’s a great idea! How did I not think of that before!!!"
"？"
"？？？"
"……"
"……"
Grass, let’s not even mention it!!
At the same time.
Somewhere inside the Crossing Star Boat.
"Splash—"
A sound.
With the sound of a space tear opening, four figures suddenly fell out at the same time.
It was Su Huan and his three Battle Pets, who had just crushed the Teleportation Stone at the edge of Phoenix Sand State a few seconds ago!!!
Flying Fire Spirit, Princess Flash Thunder, Thunder Sound Stone……
Not a single one missed!!
After falling to the ground, Su Huan didn’t have time to look around. He quickly put away all three Battle Pets to keep their presence hidden from the dangerous Battle Pets nearby.
Then, he calmly looked around, and his expression gradually turned a bit shocked.
"Crossing Star Boat?"
"So close…!?"
"What a pity! I was hoping I could travel for free to Nukui Duke’s Nineteen Thunder Prison, or maybe take a trip near the Extreme West Ruins…"
"But it looks like I’m still within the eight states~~~"
For an ordinary Battle Pet Master, breaking a Teleportation Stone usually means a high chance of being sent to the farthest ends of the world, crossing countless rivers and mountains, and possibly never returning to the human world. It’s a very dangerous and unwise method.
But for Su Huan, this little journey is totally worth it!!
Let’s not mention that his purpose was originally to hide in the dangerous forbidden area for a while. This Crossing Star Boat is much too close to the previous teleport point. Even walking there wouldn’t take too long…
It’s a pity. At this time, the Nineteen Thunder Prison should be holding the triannual Thunder Fight Tournament.
In his last life, Su Huan missed three whole tournaments due to various reasons. He never expected that in this life, he still couldn’t fulfill this wish.
Moreover, if he teleported to the Extreme West Ruins, it would be like starting a new life. He would probably need to evolve a Sun-moon-star level Battle Pet just to return to the human world in his lifetime.
However, that suited Su Huan just fine.
Because of the presence of one of the six emperors, the Drunken Crazy Lord, the Extreme West Ruins was completely unexplored and desolate, scattered with many rare Evolution Roadmaps that could be collected.
Who would have thought it was the Crossing Star State?
Thinking of this, Su Huan shook his head with a bit of disappointment and could only comfort himself with the nice rare roadmap in the Crossing Star Boat.
Although that rare roadmap isn’t related to thunder-type, it leads to a gold-type Battle Pet containing a fantasy-type factor, which is very suitable…
"Bang!"
Su Huan suddenly slapped himself.
He quickly dismissed this unwanted thought.
Even though the Qixi Festival was coming soon, it had nothing to do with him…
The reason he had this thought was simply to satisfy the common collecting habit of Battle Pet Masters. Yes, that’s right, he wasn’t thinking about anything just now…
In the next moment, a notification for the Reverse Time Meeting popped up.
[The location of the Exclusive Evolution Roadmap has been announced.]
Well, Su Huan almost forgot about this.
Reverse Time Meeting had just released this task not long ago.
Now it has become a natural and easy thing to do…?
In a little while, it was almost time for the body swap.
Su Huan quickly found a wild Battle Pet’s den to hide in.
Inside was a complete-stage dark-type Battle Pet that looked a bit like a leopard, but its size was like a small mountain, almost blocking the entire cave.
It was a complete-stage Melancholic Night Cry.
At that moment, seeing a human enter, it stood up in confusion.
However, after staring at the white-haired man for a long time, the Melancholic Night Cry curled up in a corner, willingly giving him plenty of space.
Su Huan did not refuse and confidently settled in.
Then, he took out his phone and refreshed it several times, but there was still no signal.
"Well, since there is a Sun-moon-star level presence here, it’s normal for the signal to be affected."
"Should I leave a message for Liuliu Yue in the diary…?"
After thinking for a while, Su Huan decided to briefly note the events of today in the diary.
Of course, most of the important parts were quickly skipped over.
In the end, the matter concerning the royal rank Thunder Phoenix Chariot was summarized in just a sentence.
"Master, can I see the evolution path behind?"
Just then, the Thunder Sound Stone inside him asked in a baby-like voice.
At that moment, hearing the tone of that little creature, Su Huan felt extremely awkward.
I wonder if that little creature took the wrong medicine.
It actually took the initiative to call itself "Master"…
How has its personality become so gentle in this life?
Clearly, in the last life, it always had a fierce and annoying look!!!
However, after thinking for a moment and seeing that the other party showed no signs of turning against him, Su Huan decided to directly share its Evolution Roadmap, considering it a timely boost of confidence.
Whether it’s the ultimate-stage evolution route sensed by the Thunder Sound Stone, which is the final goal of the Cathodic Queen in going to the Colorful Cloud Area, or the distant royal rank evolution route, everything here is neatly arranged, with not a single one missing.
Sure enough, upon seeing these routes, the Thunder Sound Stone was left in a state of shock.
"How could the Evolution Roadmap of the Colorful Cloud Area be in your hands, Master?"
"And, and there’s even the royal rank one…"
"Wait, isn’t this legendary form of the evolution route kept in the Nukui Duke’s treasury for thousands of years? Did you collect these specifically for me, Master???"
Seeing that the Thunder Sound Stone’s voice had become full of terror, Su Huan calmly nodded, making it seem real.
If he could trick this little creature into loyalty like this, he wouldn’t have to worry as he did in his past life.
However, in his previous life, he did attack Nineteen Thunder Prison for the Thunder Sound Stone.
But in the end, when he saw the legendary evolution chart, he gave up.
In his heart, Su Huan felt fear about letting Thunder Sound Stone evolve again.
Therefore, even when he faced death with Liuliu Yue, he did not let Thunder Sound Stone succeed; he took this little creature to the grave with him…
At this moment, just in case, Su Huan only revealed the tip of the iceberg to Thunder Sound Stone.
He did not let her see the final form of the evolution path completely.
Yet even so, it stirred up a great storm in Thunder Sound Stone’s heart.
"The Empress said there are things even she cannot do…"
"Master, you actually got this just for me!?"
Just listen to that tone.
If the Thunder Sound Stone had eyes.
It would definitely be sparkling with admiration right now!!!
Su Huan let out a small sigh of relief.
Although this life has turned out very different from the last, and doesn’t resemble it at all, this result seems unexpectedly good…
After a brief moment of excitement, the Thunder Sound Stone suddenly collapsed, overwhelmed by the exhaustion of a long day.
So, she sweetly asked again:
"Master, I want to sleep~~~"
"You can sleep then…"
"I want to be hugged by Sister Flying Fire Spirit while I sleep~~~~"
"What!!?"
Su Huan’s pupils contracted; he was truly startled by this request.
You must know, in the last life, Thunder Sound Stone’s greatest hatred was for Thunder Element, even more than for its own loathing.
Now she suddenly made such an outrageous request, causing Su Huan’s brain to freeze for a moment.
However, after hesitating for a moment, Su Huan had just nodded, preparing to agree, when suddenly his consciousness was pulled away from his body.
"……"
"……"
"Master, Master, is it okay?"
A moment later.
Hearing a strange, playful voice, Liuliu Yue lowered her head in confusion.
She looked at the green crystal resting in her palm with a puzzled expression.
"What is okay?" she asked instinctively.
"I want to be held by Sister Flying Fire Spirit to sleep, I already said that~~~~"
"Before, the Empress held me to sleep, I am not used to sleeping alone~~~~"
"……"
"……"
"No, you cannot have a crush during the infancy stage. We can talk about it when you reach the complete stage."
Hearing this, Liuliu Yue immediately declined.
Thunder Sound Stone, "?"
Child, have you ever seen such a change in expression?
