Become a super charger

Fortunately, I had the energy, so its scream didn't cause any harm to me.

"Awoo! Awooo!" Lanlan was different. It seemed that it was frightened and kept howling at Itsuki. It seemed that Lanlan even wanted to bomb it with an air bomb.

"Uh...it's okay, Lanlan. I'll help you beat him later." I patted Lanlan to comfort it.

I turned around to look at Ibaraki who was suddenly making a nervous scream. Just when I didn't notice it just now, it had changed.

The pointed horns on its head have become longer and have a certain curvature. The most noticeable change is the pair of wings that have grown out of the fur on its back.

They are not the feathered wings of birds, but a pair of tympanic wings like those of bats, with very sharp spikes at the top.

Uh...how should I put it...is this evolution?

It evolved from an imp to... uh... a demon?

I searched my head for relevant information about its appearance. Although it is not accurate to describe it with things in various games and comics, it does look like a little devil-like species.

"I...this power..." Ibaraki should have completed his evolution and has regained the ability to communicate.

Now Ibaraki was looking at himself with a surprised expression.

"Sure enough...it can evolve..."

Chapter 153: Valley

Ibaraki has evolved.

Maybe it was because its star rating was relatively low, so it evolved by eating a high-star card that was only slightly higher than its own.

It upgraded the card face, added some details on the original basis, and evolved into another species, with only the basic outline and a bit of a bad ghost look.

No, all wrong...

To be precise, Ibaraki is a low-level card in the card game, with star rating and rank.

The thing it ate before should have increased its rank rather than its star level, so it gained intelligence. The thing it eats now should have increased its star level, so its appearance evolved.

Compared to its previous appearance as a bad ghost, it is now gradually evolving into a high-level rare card.

I'm very curious about what would happen if the fighting beast just now ate Ibaraki.

Judging from the state of that fighting beast, although it has a higher star level and Ibaraki can't beat it, it is obviously not as good as Ibaraki in terms of rank. If it eats Ibaraki...

Will fighting beasts also evolve? Judging from Ibaraki's performance, the beast core it eats can probably evolve all creatures to a higher level...

"This power..." Ibaraki felt the changes in his body and began to become addicted to cutting down trees.

Now the sharpness of its claws is far beyond the scraping claws just now. The bigger and wider claws can easily break a big tree in half.

If it fights the beast again now, it’s hard to say who will win.

Hiss... It's just a fighting beast... If it eats some more fighting beast cores, can it still evolve...

No, no, no... Definitely not. According to most settings of card games, it should eat higher-level food, which means it needs higher-level materials to continue evolving...

"Hey...Ibaraki." I interrupted Ibaraki who was enjoying himself.

"Ah?" Izuku turned around and said.

"Ahem...It's like this, you scared Lan Lan just now." I said, pointing at Lan Lan who was stamping her hooves.

It snorted again and again and stomped its hooves on the ground, showing that it was very angry at Itsuki.

"Uh... sorry..."

"Go find it something to eat, maybe it will forgive you."

"Aoao!" Lanlan seemed to understand what I said. It shook its head and jumped twice to show its agreement.

"Hehehe...little guy, don't be angry...I'll go right away..." Ibaraki used his newly grown wings to fly away to find food.

Evolution has not affected its nature; it is still that special evil ghost.

Taking a look at the corpse of the fighting beast over there, I saw that some strange birds had begun to gather on it.

Some birds that look similar to sparrows actually eat meat. Those guys, which are not much bigger than a fist, can actually tear the flesh off the bodies of fighting beasts.

"Let's go, Lanlan, Ibaraki will catch up with us soon." I raised my legs and walked towards the set destination.

Suddenly, I felt that the things in the other world began to lose their appeal to me. After all, the various creatures in this other world evolved into that way because of the special environment in which they live. It was not surprising.

Because I found that I was wasting my time. If I kept being curious about the things in the other world... If I kept procrastinating like this, when would I be able to find the portal and go to Qianfeng's place...

Ibaraki brought back some berries for Lanlan, and also brought back an animal to be used as the main meal for today.

But I don't have to eat, and I don't want to eat. Lanlan only eats berries and nothing else, so after thinking about it, Itsuki just ate it raw himself and continued on his way.

If I hadn't considered these two, I could have done it myself...

Yeah... why should I bring Ibaraki with me... can't I just throw Lan Lan into the bag and go there at that absolute speed?

No, no, no... Ibaraki is still somewhat useful... At least he is a guide, he knows where to go, and... there are more ferocious beasts in this area.

They all have their own territories, but these ferocious beasts are much friendlier. At least they will not be attacked as soon as they enter like the fighting beast.

And with Itsuki watching from the sky, it can see where the ferocious beasts in the area are and avoid them.

Oh... why do you have to avoid it? Wouldn't it be better to just rush through it...

"Xiao Yun, I see where we are going. It's over there! In that valley!" Ibaraki said while pointing in a direction in the sky.

I could just about see through the thinning woods that there was indeed a valley over there with few trees, but there were some purple plants growing on the hills over there.

"Over there... Lanlan come here... uh... why don't you follow me." After thinking about it, he decided not to use the enhanced speed to run with Lanlan, but ran towards that direction at a normal running speed.

Forget it, stop being reckless and calm down...

What's wrong with me... Why am I so impatient...

Ever since I met Ibaraki yesterday, I have been vaguely getting impatient, because isn't this the place I want to go...

So I jogged, adjusted my breathing, and slowly calmed myself down.

There's no use being impatient. I should blame the portal. It didn't send me to the right place. The portal can definitely send me to where I want to go.

But you can't see the mountain without running. I saw Ibaraki from the sky. My eyesight has been enhanced so I can see very far. As a result, I stopped after running at a jogging pace for seven or eight minutes.

Ah... why is it so far? We are only halfway there!

I won't run anymore. I'm so tired.

Without the blessing of energy, I am just an ordinary person, and I don’t have any athletic talent. Running continuously for seven or eight minutes is already my limit. Now I am exhausted.

"Ha...ah ha...am I...am I not torturing myself..."

I unzipped my coat and let the cool breeze blow into my clothes, which helped the sweat that was starting to come out of my body dry faster.

We shouldn’t play like this. My clothes are soaked by sweat, and there’s no way to wash clothes or take a shower in this place.

"Roar!"

My reckless running still attracted some unfriendly guys, including some with a strong sense of territory like the fighting beasts.

It was natural that Ibaraki would attract their attention since he was flying in the sky, not to mention that I was running freely in his territory.

It is a four-legged creature, unsurprisingly large in size, and looks a bit like a tiger.

But its fur is brown, and its back and other parts are covered with scales, including on its tail.

"Roar!" It roared at me, and its intention to attack was very obvious.

"Provoke it!!!" Without thinking, I yelled at it as well.

My voice, after being enhanced with energy, is enough to be compared to sound, and even I feel that the sound is quite loud.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze. The monster retreated, growled softly, turned around and ran away quickly.

It still had some sense. At least it didn't attack right away, otherwise it would have ended up like the fighting beast.

Chapter 154: Pulse Sunflower

"Boom..." The ground was shaking, as if a row of steamrollers were passing by.

But this is a different world, and there are no such things as steamrollers, so the vibration should be some kind of large creature moving around.

It was even more trembling than the one produced when the fighting beast was running.

It seemed... it was caused by my loud roar just now, which seemed to have alarmed some even larger monster.

"Xiao Yun! Something happened." Ibaraki flew down in panic and said.

"What's wrong?" Uh... am I in trouble...

"I remember... no... it's... ah, anyway, we can't use too much energy in this place. The sound you just made... it must have alarmed something." Ibaraki said, pulling me to run to the back.

"Ah? What's going on over there?" I also felt that the noise came from the purple valley over there.

The noise was getting louder and louder, from a passing steamroller to a sudden earthquake.

Even the small stones on the ground can jump up.

"Let's... leave here first." Ibaraki suddenly rose higher and pointed me in the direction from the sky.

"Come here, Lanlan." I called Lanlan over and put it in the backpack. It might not be able to run steadily by itself, so I'd better carry it with me.

"Boom...Crack..."

The ground began to crack piece by piece, and something was coming up from underneath the ground.

Avoiding these cracks, I sped up and ran in the direction indicated by Ibaraki.

Some tentacle-like things began to emerge from these cracks. They were thicker than my arms, looked very elastic, and were dark purple in color.

But they are not very friendly. After coming out of the crack, they wave around wildly. When they touch something, they grab it and pause for a while, then let it go and continue to touch other things.

Are you looking for... me?

I don't know if it was coming towards me, but the crack was opening towards me, and these tentacles were spreading all the way and following me.

But they have no eyesight, so they can only grab what they can reach, pause to check, and then let go.

Some small animals that were hiding were unable to dodge and were caught by it, but the tentacles paused for a moment and then let it go and continued to look for something.

Isn't this shit directed at me?

Ibaraki in the sky also noticed this, it changed direction and directed me to run sideways to the other side.

I don't dare to come into contact with these tentacles.

Why should I touch this thing? Although I am curious about what kind of species this tentacle is, is it the one in the book...

Bah...just run. I'm basically sure they are coming for me.

After changing direction, the crack in the ground did not catch up with me, but continued to extend in the direction I had just run, releasing tentacles along the way to find me.

I could vaguely hear some other creatures being captured by them, and I heard many shrill screams.

Hiss...there is really a problem...run away quickly...

I don’t know if the crack has eyes, but it actually split a small part towards me, and I suddenly accelerated and ran a long distance!

But fortunately, they seemed to be attracted by some other small animals and did not keep chasing me like a stalker.

Huh... So... It's not coming for me? Anything that moves can attract it...

Following Ibaraki's guidance, I ran up a hill. I could still vaguely feel the vibration here, but it was much better than the previous one.

But they haven't stopped yet...

With the help of the hill's higher view, I could see more clearly what was happening in this area.

The forest here is not like the forest of the Midnight Tribe. There it stretches as far as the eye can see, but in the forest here you can even see a mountain range in the distance.

Maybe there is still a forest on the other side of the mountain...

The purple valley we were going to just now is very far away from here. That area is like the center of the forest. Only that small area is purple, and the rest are more or less the same color of forest.

I guess that might be the core of these tentacles because they are also dark purple.

The earthquake is still going on, and those cracks and tentacles are probably looking for me.
