“There you go!”

Su Bai took out five potions and threw them to Blue Sea Kraken; it opened its mouth and ate everything, including the bottles.

To it, there was nothing that could not be eaten. It would all be converted into energy, anyway.

Su Bai: “…”

He did not mean to let it eat even the bottles.

However, after eating all five large bottles of potion, it recovered a little. It could now float up and was no longer the same as the dead fish just now.

Su Bai took out two more bottles of potion and threw them to it. “Don’t eat the containers.”

Ah Bai, Ah Bai, is this the ability of the divine skill? It’s too strong; can I also try to evolve?

The cub approached him in the form of a big cat and rubbed his cheek.

“Roar!” I wanna try it, too! It’s so abnormal I love it! If I can evolve, I think I can smash that bigger mountain with one claw! the Little Tyrant patted its chest and roared.

Both the Mewling Fox and Ice Phoenix also stared eagerly at him. Evolving easily was simply OP, and they wanted to try it, too.

“Don’t worry; there are opportunities, but not now.

“After using magical skills to evolve, you’ll have a period of weakness, just like the current Blue Sea Kraken. It isn’t without consequences.” He explained how it worked to his pets.

The divine skill he had acquired in the blood moon world allowed pets to evolve again in a short time. Even if it was an ultimate pet at the end of its evolution, it could still evolve again.

Moreover, after evolution, he could also designate one of its skill to be strengthened, allowing it to exert several times the original power.

This was why the Blue Sea Kraken had managed to smash a small mountain with a single blow with its Water Cannon.

Of course, this was not without cost. Although divine skills could be used countless times, pets would have a period of weakness after each evolution. During this period, forced evolution again would damage the foundation and potential of the pet.

In severe cases, it might even kill the pet.

Su Bai did not know whether this divine skill he had obtained was stronger or weaker than other skills in the Alliance, but at least he was satisfied with it.

Compared with Wei Ya’s divine skill, it was really hard to judge. It could only be said that both were incomparable to each other because they worked differently.

“Howl.” Okay, but I really want to try the feeling of direct evolution.

The cub retreated by a bit; one could tell that it was frowning despite it not having eyebrows in its current form.

“Let’s look around to see if there are any new things or monsters. Otherwise, let’s leave. Phoenix, don’t come down for now. Just act as a surveillance monster for us first and continue checking the surroundings.” Su Bai opened his mouth to express what they should do next.

“Roar!” Let me take the lead then!

The dino raised its arms, and a large Earth Hammer appeared between its claws. It hoisted it onto its shoulder and looked ahead with its fierce, narrow eyes. It looked like a bully who was about to collect protection money.

Su Bai jumped onto his pet kraken’s back. Although it was very weak right now, he was still no different from an ant to it.

Purple Jade and Mewling Fox moved forward side by side with graceful gaits.

His pets were like ultimate bosses who were headed to a novice village, swaggering all the way while slashing all the monsters they encountered without difficulty.

Just when the cleaning up was almost done and Su Bai was about to return home, the Ice Phoenix suddenly said telepathically, “Quack.” Ah Bai, I saw something in the northwest. Let’s take a look.

He glanced at the duck, which had shrunk into a ball, and patted the kraken. “Go that way. Jade, Fox, help check the specific situation, too.”

Mewling Fox was a fantasy pet that could learn most of the spirit attribute skills. It was, therefore, good at sensing nature. That seems to be a space crack.

Ten minutes later, they saw the abnormality observed by the phoenix.

Su Bai nodded. It was a space crack, indeed.

However, he was not so afraid of space cracks anymore as his knowledge had already deepened at this point.

This space crack was more than two meters high, half a meter wide, and appeared elliptical. The edges were recovering, and it looked like a temporary crack, not a permanent one.

I can’t sense it with my spirit detection. Mewling Fox tried and failed to perceive it.

Purple Jade activated its Forest Cluster and turned a tree into a puppet, maneuvering it to go inside to look.

The puppet is fine; it should be relatively safe inside. It told him after a while.

“Roar!” Then I’ll go in and have a look.

Little Tyrant put away its hammer on its shoulders, ready to go in. It had a unique passive trait of the undead attribute, so it could not die and was also not afraid of dying.

However, the cub still tied the dino’s waist with a vine whip. This was so it could be quickly pulled out in the case of danger.

The dino returned after a while. Raising its claws, it shouted telepathically, There’s no danger. We’ve struck gold; there are many ores inside!

It turned and went in again after speaking.

Su Bai: “…”

After mobilizing his contract book, he activated his Internal Breath skill and opened a shield for himself. “I’ll go in with Jade. Fox, Phoenix, stay outside and stand guard.”

After entering the crack, Su Bai found that it was a small, dimly lit space, which was barely visible. It was about a thousand square meters in size. For a space crack, this was indeed a small and inferior one; it was no wonder that this space crack was only temporary.

By the time he came in, the dino had already used its spiritual power to dig a layer of the ground and had excavated many ores. The most important thing to Su Bai was the large five-colored spirit crystal vein. This thing alone could definitely produce tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals.

However, the dino was not particularly interested in the spirit crystals. It broke a piece, took a bite, and asked, Ah Bai, what to do about this spirit crystal?

“Well, let me use it to strengthen your skills, then we’ll move the rest out,” he thought for a bit and said. He was not short on money now, and it was obviously more cost-effective to improve the strength of his pets by making use of these things’ attributes.

This was especially so in this era when Blue Planet was suspected of undergoing drastic changes.

“Roar.” I’ll go first. Upon hearing that Su Bai would use a mysterious method to strengthen them, the dino immediately concurred.

“Okay.” Su Bai stretched out his hand and started to rub fire attribute light balls. When a handful of them was in his hand, he suddenly found that something was wrong.

His skill seemed to have undergone a new change.

After thinking about it, he tried to press the attribute light balls directly into the dino instead of into the fireball, which his pet had already produced.

Unlike in the past, when it was almost impossible to press it in, it was easy to do so this time. The energy light balls were smoothly integrated into the dino.

“Can you feel any changes?” he asked.

Of course, all the power that you put in me went into my fireballs and didn’t go elsewhere. I felt like it has permanently increased.

The Purgatory Fire Thief scratched its head. It activated its basic Fireball technique, and it appeared to be brighter and hotter than before.

“Really?” Su Bai picked up a bunch of wood attribute light balls again and pressed them all into Purple Jade’s head.

“Where did they go?” he touched the cub and asked.

Everything went to my Vine Whip skill. The effect feels permanent to me.

Nodding, he took out his contract book and released the Blue Sea Kraken. He returned it inside before taking it out again.

“Onom?” The kraken rubbed its owner with a dazed expression.

Could it eat anything it wanted here?

Su Bai ignored it, grabbing a large amount of water attribute light balls and integrating them into its body.

He continued to turn the water-attribute, spirit-crystal ore veins into gray until they were exhausted of spiritual power.

“Can you perceive any part of your body has become stronger?” Su Bai looked at his kraken and asked. He had a hunch that his ability might no longer be of small value.

“Onom!”

Stunned, Pipi Kraken flicked its tail to make a splash. A large wave of water hit his face, directly drenching him from head to toe. A pit of five or six meters deep also formed in the ground.

Su Bai: “…”

The kraken was also stunned. Had he become so powerful? Was this its original power?

It fired another round of Water Archery before falling on the ground again. Unfortunately, it was still inexperienced.

However, through this series of experiments, Su Bai basically understood that his ability had indeed improved. It seemed like he could randomly and permanently strengthen the power of a certain skill of his pet.

Be it the general or specific use, further verification was required.

Thus, he had yet to figure out how this skill had mutated. Was it because he had acquired a divine skill?

If that was the case, could it mutate again if he obtained another divine skill?

He shook his head and temporarily gave up thinking in this area. He would deal with the matter at hand first.

After thinking for a while, he put the metallic energy light balls into the body of his fox. It failed and he could not integrate the light balls.

He tried integrating the light balls into the dragon and it actually worked.

“Do you feel anything different?”

“Roar!” I feel something different about my claws; they’ve changed!

Little Dragon appeared from his wrist and cast its Claw Rip, directly causing a deep fissure in the ground.

“Amazing!” Su Bai complimented. He wanted to try other light balls after they left this place.

Still, at present, he determined that it only worked on all the elementary skills of his pets.

However, it was good to fight opponents in this way. No one would imagine that elementary skills had power comparable to consummate skills, would they?

After deciding to fight with basic skills, he suddenly felt invigorated.

“Roar!” I finished packing everything I wanted to eat. I don’t want the others. Little Tyrant touched its space pendant and roared.

“Okay, Pipi, the rest are yours. Eat as much as you like.” Su Bai nodded.

“Onom!”

Blue Sea Kraken opened its mouth and immediately started devouring everything. It was eating earth ores at first, but in the middle, Su Bai realized that something was wrong.

“F*ck! You’ve eaten the space, too. Oh, my God!”

By the time he yelled, it was already too late.

This space was already directly swallowed by kraken.

Fortunately, he did not fall into the void and fell on the original place of Blue Planet.

He slapped his pet lightly. “You scam! You swallowed the space without saying a word. Do you wanted to kill us?”

“Onom!”

Although it was a little embarassed, it still felt very aggrieved. He had obviously let it swallow as much as it desired.

At this time, a spiritual vortex suddenly rose. Blue Sea Kraken opened its big mouth and sucked up the nearby spiritual energy at one go.

It was then promoted to a low-level warlord.

Su Bai: “…”

F*ck! It was as weak as a salted fish earlier, but it had still managed to break through?

He simply wanted to curse.

Nonetheless, this was a good thing. If the kraken recovered quickly, he could use the divine skill more often. Once this pet of his grew up, its strength would be formidable.

With a single swallow, many beings would have no hope of surviving.

It could swallow whatever in one bite.
