Chereads / Andre's Pet Shop Adventure / Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Skul's Shadow Evolution

Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: Skul's Shadow Evolution

In Andre's Gothic shop, candlelight flickered, and light and shadow danced between ancient maps and portraits.

Finally, under Andre's careful introduction, Felix and his sister carefully selected some pet food they urgently needed. These pet foods were of high quality and cost a total of 67,000 euros. And this amount, like a trickle, automatically converted into energy points, totaling more than 670 points, adding a little guarantee to Andre's upcoming adventure.

"Boss, what's your name?" Felix asked politely.

"Andre." Andre responded concisely.

"Boss Andre, when are we leaving?" Felix's tone revealed his eagerness and concern for finding his comrades' pets. Compared with the expensive pet food he just bought, this matter obviously occupies a more important position in his heart, like a burning flame, burning in his eyes.

Andre did not answer immediately, but asked: "How long is the day and night in the starry sky crack?" His deep eyes flashed with a thoughtful light, as if he was exploring a secret hidden in the unknown depths. Since it was a mysterious star field outside the interstellar navigation map, the law of the alternation of the sun and the moon would naturally not be as regular and orderly as the blue star where the new city of Vienna was located. Maybe it was shrouded in darkness on the blue star, but it was sunny and bright in the starry sky crack. This wonderful and complicated situation was very common in the chaotic dead world that Andre had once set foot in. In that mysterious and dangerous world, he had never seen the warm and bright light of the sun, only endless shadows and dead silence.

"Huh?" Felix was stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He was secretly amazed that Andre could pay attention to such a professional and easily overlooked problem, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could do. In his understanding, only those senior pioneers who have been shuttling between the Star Dome Cracks for many years and have experienced countless life and death tests will pay special attention to this detail. Don't underestimate this as just a time difference problem. For some star pets, it is related to their life and death. Especially those demon star pets, most of them follow the habit of hiding during the day and coming out at night. Under the cover of night, their attack power will suddenly double, and their bloodthirstiness will flood like a surging tide, becoming more difficult to deal with.

Previously, seeing Andre hesitate to participate in the pioneering, Felix was still a little worried and uneasy in his heart, thinking that this matter might be a little unresolved. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated this mysterious boss before. The person who could twist his arm so easily must be far more powerful than him. How could such a strong man be unfamiliar with the mystery of the Star Dome Crack?

"This starry sky crack has just appeared, and we haven't figured out the law of time turnover yet." Felix said truthfully, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in his eyes.

Andre nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said: "Can you arrange your teammates to wait patiently at the entrance? If it is daytime inside, you can enter immediately." His voice was steady and firm, as if he was issuing an unquestionable order.

Felix nodded slightly to show his approval, but then he said hesitantly: "What if it takes a long time for the inside to turn around during the day? Don't we have to wait for several days?" His brows frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Andre, act tonight at the latest." Andre said solemnly. He knew in his heart that he didn't want to wait too long. If he couldn't wait until daytime, he would have to choose to act overnight. Otherwise, if it is delayed too late, the star pet lost in the crack of the starry sky is likely to be killed, and the mission he is responsible for will also fail, which is a result he absolutely cannot accept.

"Okay." Felix agreed without hesitation. The bottom line in his heart is that he must set off tomorrow at the latest, otherwise the hope of finding his comrade's pet will become even slimmer, just like the faint candlelight flickering in the dark, which may go out at any time.

"Go, at 10 o'clock in the evening, you come to this address to wait for me." Andre picked up the accounting pen, quickly wrote down an address near his home on a piece of paper, and then handed it to Felix.

Felix took the note, glanced at the address on it, and carefully put it away, "Okay, then I will go back and make some preparations."

"Andre, take care." Andre nodded slightly, revealing a hint of firmness and determination in his eyes.

When the two walked to the door, Andre suddenly called out, "Wait."

"Huh?" Felix turned around in surprise, his eyes full of doubts and expectations.

"Are you really not going to buy more items?" Andre's voice was full of ridicule and hints.

"..." Felix was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

After sending Felix and his sister away, Andre took a look at the energy points he currently had. Counting the remaining parts before, he accumulated more than 700 points in total. These energy points are like precious wealth on his adventure, and each point may play an unexpected role at a critical moment.

"The pet we are looking for this time is a pet with a high bloodline of the fire system, the blood fox flame tail beast. Unfortunately, the previous fire spirit grass has been sold, and now only the "flame dragon fruit" is left." Andre muttered to himself, revealing a hint of helplessness and regret in his eyes. He slowly walked to the shelf and took down a bottle of flame dragon fruit. There are eight dragon fruits in the bottle, each of which exudes a faint flame scent. It is worth more than 300 euros and is one of the favorite pet foods of fire-type pets. It can effectively increase the concentration of fire elements in pets. If taken for a long time, it can greatly increase the power of the fire moves performed by pets, just like a raging fire.

In order to successfully complete the task, Andre knew that he could only reluctantly take the dragon fruit as bait. Although he was reluctant, he resolutely put the dragon fruit into the storage space. Then, he turned and came to the pet room, his eyes fell on Skull who was sleeping in the aura array.

"Andre, it's time to wake you up." Andre said softly, with a hint of expectation and concern in his eyes. He threw an identification spell at Skull, and a faint blue light instantly enveloped Skull's body. Then, detailed information about Skull appeared in front of Andre.

Bloodthirsty Skul

Attributes: Demonic pet

Level: Level 3

Combat power: 78

Qualification: Lower middle

Ability control: Rebirth, Undead slavery, Blood spirit conversion, Medium swordsmanship, Puppet, Corpse poison, Dark blindness, Corpse roar

Compared with when he returned from the Chaos Dead World, Skul's panel data has undergone some significant changes. Its level has been significantly improved. When it just returned from the Chaos Dead World, it was only the upper level of the second level, but now it has successfully broken through to the third level, as if it has found the dawn of evolution in the darkness. Its combat power has also increased from 74 to 78, which is enough to rival the powerful power of the upper level of the seventh level pet, which is amazing.

However, in terms of qualifications, Skul has undergone some unexpected changes. Not only has its qualifications not improved, but it has fallen from the previous upper middle level to the lower middle level. The most eye-catching thing is that the word "bloodthirsty" has been added before its name, like a mysterious mark, engraved in the depths of its soul.

All these changes are closely related to an extremely precious treasure - the Blood Spirit Pearl. The Blood Spirit Pearl is still suspended in Skull's skull, emitting a faint red light, but it is obviously several times smaller than before. Obviously, Skull absorbed a lot of energy from the Blood Spirit Pearl during this period of time. Because of this, it was able to achieve a breakthrough in level and improve its combat power, and its physique has also been greatly improved. Its potential is like a sleeping giant beast being awakened, and it has evolved from an ordinary skeleton species to a bloodthirsty skeleton species!

In the family of skeleton species, the bloodthirsty skeleton species can only be regarded as a skeleton pet of medium bloodline, and it is a relatively ordinary and almost bottom-ranked existence among the medium-level star pets. After adulthood, it only has a fourth-level combat power. However, compared with its original low-level ordinary skeleton species, this is undoubtedly a qualitative leap and a gorgeous turn of fate.

Because of this, although Skull's talent has been improved, his combat power has not increased accordingly, so when compared with the bloodthirsty skeleton species of the same kind, his qualification evaluation can only be regarded as medium and lower. The same kind here naturally no longer refers to ordinary skeleton species, but bloodthirsty skeleton species that are higher than them. Among all the bloodthirsty skeleton species born from the beginning of chaos to the present, Skull's qualifications and combat power can only be at the middle and lower level among many of his kind, like a dim star, silently flickering in the vast starry sky.

Fortunately, the previous task has been successfully completed. Even if Skull's qualification evaluation has dropped, it has not caused much impact on Andre. After all, as long as Skull can continue to absorb the energy of the blood spirit bead until it fully awakens and becomes the blood of the Skeleton King, then its combat power will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes. However, in this process, if its combat power still stagnates, then according to the standard of qualification evaluation, its qualifications will only fall further and fall into a more embarrassing situation.

"Little guy, it's time to wake up." Andre called softly, with a hint of tenderness and concern in his voice.

A little red light slowly emerged from Skull's empty eye sockets, as if he was awakened from the abyss of sleep by Andre's call. It slowly sat up and stared at Andre blankly, revealing a hint of confusion and dependence in its eyes, as if Andre was its only support in this strange and dangerous world.

Andre motioned Skull to leave the foster position, and then took it to the store. He gently closed the shutter door, isolating the noise and disturbance of the outside world outside the door, creating a quiet and mysterious atmosphere for the upcoming action.

"Cultivation window." Andre silently said in his heart. Yes, he has made plans and is ready to go to the cultivation plane at his own expense. However, his trip this time is not to let Skull train and grow in battle, but to provide it with sufficient time to absorb the energy of the blood spirit bead.

Andre knew that a day in the cultivation plane was only an hour in the real world. At this moment, there was still more than half a day before 10 o'clock in the evening, which meant that he could stay in the cultivation plane for about a week. During this precious week, under the nourishment of the blood spirit beads, Skull's physique will be improved again as if he had received the favor of God, and his strength will be greatly improved, just like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon to achieve a gorgeous transformation.

In terms of Skull's current situation, it is faster and more effective to focus on improving its physique rather than blindly looking for a high-level cultivation plane for it to participate in the battle. After all, in the previous adventure in the Chaos Dead World, Skull had almost exhausted his potential. Blindly letting it fall into a cycle of fighting and death may not guarantee that its combat power can continue to improve rapidly. Moreover, if Skull is to participate in combat training, the blood spirit bead in its head must be taken out, otherwise once it dies in battle, the blood spirit bead may fall and be lost, which will greatly delay Skull's process of absorbing the blood spirit bead, which is a result that Andre absolutely does not want to see.

Soon, Andre relied on his memory and experience to find the low-level cultivation plane he entered last time - the 1002 area of ​​the extraterritorial starfall. This plane is relatively less dangerous, like a quiet haven, providing Andre and Skull with a relatively safe training environment. The ticket to enter the plane only costs 1 energy, the price is low, and the cost performance is extremely high. Andre did not hesitate at all and resolutely chose this plane.

After entering the plane, Andre can take Skull into his pet space, so that he can spend seven days comfortably in it without worrying about the dangers and interference from the outside world. During these seven days, he could not only accompany Skull in cultivation wholeheartedly, but also collect some precious pet food to reserve resources for future adventures. Even if he used up the 30 free deaths given by the system during the cultivation process, he didn't need to worry too much. Because he could use energy to buy additional deaths, and the price of the purchased deaths was only one-tenth of the ticket price, which was extremely cost-effective.

Time passed quietly in the cultivation plane, and the seven-day journey passed in a flash, as if it was just a matter of a moment. Late at night, Andre's figure appeared in the store again like a ghost. The seven days spent in the cultivation plane made him look a little tired and haggard, with messy hair and untidy clothes, like an adventurer who had experienced vicissitudes of life.

He glanced at the time, it was 8:30 in the evening. Andre breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally got a little relief. He poured all the pet food in the storage space into the store, and then whispered to the system to help calculate and place these pet foods. Afterwards, he simply washed himself in the store, washing away his fatigue and dust. Then, he rode his beloved bike and rushed home as fast as an arrow from a string, ready to meet the upcoming adventure challenge.

Andre, with the evolved Skull, is about to step into the starry sky crack full of unknowns and dangers. What kind of difficulties and obstacles will they encounter in that mysterious world? Can Skull exert his powerful strength at the critical moment to help Andre complete the task smoothly? And will the fire dragon fruit used as bait bring unexpected crises or opportunities? Everything is shrouded in fog, which makes people full of endless reverie and expectations for the subsequent plot.
