Mingxi took one last look at him, and Chiyu jumped into poseidon's rest without hesitation, walking into the large hole.
My King, I'll be back soon.
Watching Chiyu's figure, one moment he was in front of her, the next he appeared below the ethereal stairs where the block tower was located.
His figure was faint.
Like a fragile oil lamp.
The flame flickered slightly.
But as long as it was lit, it was a challenge to the darkness.
"Whew!"
Mingxi let out a long breath, barely managing to calm her rapidly beating heart.
All these occurrences.
They really tested the heart's endurance.
"As!"
Black Pearl's cry successfully pulled Mingxi's mind back.
Having devoured the bone salt sulfur, Black Pearl's evolution was now smooth and unhindered.
The light of evolution entwined around it, and the surrounding seawater seemed to be frozen.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After the seawater froze, it then surged wildly in all directions.
There was clearly a tendency for a water spouts to form.
"Snap."
A flashing black-scaled fish tail slapped ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) the nascent water spouts, instantly turning it into bubbles.
"As."
In the silent seawater, only Black Pearl's voice was clear, like moving musical notes.
"Black Pearl!"
Mingxi excitedly watched Black Pearl swimming towards her.
At this moment, it had transformed from a small, tender Fish Baby into a handsome, refined youth.
Its height was about 1.75 meters.
Its long hair, like seaweed, spread out behind it, and beautiful fins grew behind its ears.
It wasn't a flowing, lustrous black, but a flowing, lustrous color.
Both sides of its cheeks and its forehead were covered with tiny scales, like finely carved pearl flakes. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Its eyes were still a translucent black, clear and bright, like the deep ocean, exuding a mysterious and charming glow.
Its lips were as red as coral, and the slightly upturned corners of its mouth held a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
Its teeth were very white. freewebnøvel.coɱ
However, they no longer had the cute, milky appearance of before, but were a set of sharp fangs.
The biggest change was its body.
Its previous frailty had completely disappeared.
Now, every inch of its muscles seemed like a combination of strength and beauty, perfectly lean and robust.
A little less would make it thin, a little more would make it bulky.
Its skin was as white as a pearl, yet it exuded a strange blue hue, shimmering with a faint light, as if formed by countless waves and foam, ready to merge with the sea at any moment.
Its tail was thicker and more powerful, covered with layers of black scales.
But these black scales were different from its previous ones; it wasn't a matter of size, but these scales were actually crystal-like.
From flat fish scales, they had become three-dimensional fish scales!
That sharp feeling made people feel wary.
And if you observed closely, you would find that inside each of these fish scales, there was actually a dark shadow.
They were clearly miniature versions of Black Pearl!
However, these dark shadows all seemed to be in a dormant state.
This change was too astonishing...
Could it be because Black Pearl devoured the bone salt sulfur?
But why did she feel that these dark shadows all exuded a ghostly, eerie aura?
Mingxi shifted her gaze to the caudal fin.
The caudal fin's changes were also very obvious, becoming exceptionally hard and thin, like a dangerous, sharp black blade that could easily split mountains and crack seas!
"As."
Master.
Black Pearl swam to Mingxi's front, hesitated and fidgeted for a while, then nervously extended its arms towards her, its eyes filled with an unresolvable unease.
Its appearance just now... did it scare its Master?
Would Master... dislike it?
Mingxi sighed softly.
She reached out and hugged it back.
"I wasn't scared. I know that wasn't you, nor was it your kin, but the bone salt sulfur taking form."
"You're not scary at all, and I'll never dislike you."
Let alone the fact that bone salt sulfur was not a true living entity.
Even if it were, Mingxi would not dislike Black Pearl because of it.
Feeling Mingxi's gentleness and tolerance, Black Pearl's uneasiness immediately dissipated, and it couldn't help but tighten its arms, rubbing its cheek against Mingxi's neck, just like it used to nestle in Mingxi's arms.
"Slap!"
Little Silver Flower slapped Black Pearl's bare back with a paw.
"Luo Luo!"
This silly fish had already evolved to intermediate level, and it still dared to cling to its sister.
It deserved a beating!
Black Pearl, having received a slap, raised its head blankly, looking at Little Silver Flower, who was baring its teeth with fierce eyes.
It tilted its head.
What's wrong?
"Luo Luo..."
Do you know what it means for humans and fish to be different? You stinky fish, you're already a big fish, don't even think about taking advantage of Sister anymore!
Emerald Green: ...
It hadn't noticed that Little Silver Flower, despite its rough demeanor, was quite particular.
It was probably specially trained by Chiyu.
Actually, there weren't that many rules between Beast Tamers and their pet beasts.
In a way, they were like her limbs; no amount of intimacy was too much.
The deeper the bond, the more inseparable they became from their Beast Tamers.
Even it, in fact, preferred to lean on the Little Human.
"As!"
I'm still a Fish Baby.
Black Pearl clearly did not want any separation from its Master; its head remained against Mingxi's neck, stubbornly refusing to let go.
Little Silver Flower delivered another iron sand palm strike, with considerable force, holding nothing back.
Mingxi noticed that when Little Silver Flower's paw touched Black Pearl's back, its skin rippled in layers, perfectly deflecting the attack.
This seemed to be—
The Water attribute characteristic 【Fleeting Water】.
Then thinking about Little Silver Flower's name.
So, is it 'Falling Flowers have intentions, Fleeting Water has none'?
Mingxi quickly shook off the strange thoughts in her mind and patted Black Pearl's head.
"Good baby, does Frozen Salt Lake have no effect on you?"
Black Pearl looked up, "As."
Yes, Baby can come and go freely here.
Master, there are many good things down here. Baby will help you find them.
It said, excitedly wagging its tail, looking at Mingxi with an expectant expression, eager to go find treasures.
Mingxi shook her head: "No hurry."
"We'll wait until Chiyu comes back to talk about it."
Black Pearl followed her gaze to the strange, wandering space not far away.
Master, Baby will go wait for Chi Chi to come out.
The current position of poseidon's rest was about a hundred meters from the Dunyi Tower's ascending dimension space.
She could barely see the situation around the Dunyi Tower, but there was certainly no way to respond to Chiyu in time.
"Then be careful, and absolutely do not enter the hole! It will cost you your life!"
"As."
Black Pearl nodded, and with a powerful flick of its fish tail, it quickly swam towards the large hole.
"Don't get too close!"
Mingxi warned again.
Although Black Pearl had successfully evolved to the intermediate level, from its clear, simple eyes and its unwavering self-designation as 'Baby', it was evident that only its body had evolved.
Its brain was still the same brain.
Not very smart.
"Ginger?"
The Ginger Jelly Algae Worms, who had been ignored for a long time, surprised and bewildered, regained their sense of presence.
Most of them followed behind Black Pearl.
Only the Ginger Jelly Algae Worm King remained in place, watching Mingxi with surprise and doubt.
