Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 358 - 357: Path of Space

Gu Yuan was right there, naturally not allowing these fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles to disrupt the Dragon Loach’s transformation.

With a flick of his sleeve, the originally calm lake water came under his control, transforming into sharp water swords, water sabers, grinding discs, heavy hammers, and giant axes, slaying and smashing these fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles.

The lake water instantly turned crimson, but Gu Yuan swept it aside, bringing in clear lake water to prevent any influence on the Dragon Loach’s transformation.

Time passed, lasting more than an hour.

The Dragon Loach’s transformation had reached its end.

Originally a fine Dragon Loach, now its body seemed tattered and torn, like a monstrous snake crushed repeatedly on a highway, its scales and skin dull and lifeless, with a darkened hue.

It appeared to be the corpse of a snake that had been dead for a long time, floating quietly on the water, unmoving, without the slightest sign of life.

However, Gu Yuan had already sensed a peculiar power brewing and transforming deep within the "corpse" of the Dragon Loach.

Suddenly,

Swish, swish!

The shattered body of the Dragon Loach quivered sharply, causing splashes to scatter. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Then, this broken body began to tremble as if a living creature was hidden within it.

Gu Yuan watched this scene quietly, indifferent, without any action.

Thud!

Soon after, the Dragon Loach’s broken body suddenly opened a blood hole, and immediately, a slender, small Dragon Loach emerged.

Compared to the original six-foot-long Dragon Loach, this little one was only as thin as a chopstick, slender and about five inches long, and apart from dense golden scales, it had more blood-red patterns, mysterious and beautiful.

On its head, there were also two protruding small horns, which were previously fleshy but now appeared to be quite sturdy, made of bone.

Overall, it looked less like a snake or loach and more like a miniature Flood Dragon!

Roar——!!!

After emerging from its broken old body, the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King did the first thing - it looked skyward and let out a cry similar to a dragon’s roar.

The sound wasn’t loud, seeming like the tender cry of a hatchling dragon, yet the sound carried an overwhelming and domineering pressure, at least enough for Gu Yuan to feel a tingling sensation all over his body, with a sense of bone ache and muscle softness, limbs weak.

Gu Yuan was already like that, and the nearby fishes, shrimps, crabs, and turtles were even more frightened into a hasty escape. Many aquatic creatures, upon hearing this sound, immediately lost consciousness, eyes turned white, and their bellies flipped up, floating to the water’s surface.

Obviously, as a Dragon Species, with the upgrade to the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King, its essence of life had significantly improved, moving closer towards the direction of a True Dragon variant.

Though in size and ability, the current Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King might fall slightly short of a true dragon hatchling, it’s definitely not far off.

The little loach moved, and Gu Yuan couldn’t even see how it flew, noticing it had already flown to his side, wrapping its slender body around his wrist, soon falling into a deep sleep.

Its speed was so fast, its movements so stealthy, it was almost like teleportation.

Although the transformation had already succeeded, it had ultimately exhausted much of its energy during the process; now it was best to recover a bit first.

As for the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King’s original broken body, it had now completely turned into a pile of rotten flesh, seemingly devoid of essence.

[Evolution successful, you have obtained the pet Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King!]

[Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King (Dark Gold)]

Description: A Dragon Loach King with True Dragon Bloodline, whose True Dragon Bloodline is incredibly rich, already merged with the Loach Race bloodline, becoming an alternative "True Dragon," the king among Dragon Loaches.

The Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King is average in attack and defense, not particularly outstanding, but possesses nearly heaven-defying escape talent. Evolution to "Red-Horned Divine Loach" requires growing to a mature Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King and consuming 1,760,000 Dao Rhyme Points!

Status: Normal

Phase: Growth Stage (1%)

[You have gained the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King’s talent of Eternal Divine Escape blessing!]

...

After upgrading to the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King and with a series of prompts appearing, Gu Yuan also sensed the message contained within these hints.

It turns out above the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King, there’s also the Red-Horned Divine Loach, and when reaching maturity, upgrading requires over ten times the Dao Rhyme Points.

However, the best news is certainly about this Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King’s talent, which indeed inherited from the original Dragon Loach lineage, known as Eternal Divine Escape.

In the next moment, Gu Yuan felt a very special power surging into the Endless Spirit Escape Divine Dao Seed within his body.

The original Endless Spirit Escape Divine Dao Seed was in the shape of a miniature Dragon Loach, dragon-like yet not a dragon, loach-like yet not a loach, showing golden-red color, its surface covered with black mysterious patterns, exuding an elusive, slippery aura.

However, with the infusion of that special power, this Divine Dao Seed clearly underwent some subtle change.

The Dao Seed looped its head and tail together, like a small snake biting its tail, while the black mysterious patterns on its surface became more faded.

Additionally, the Dao Seed’s size also started to grow.

After half an hour, this Dao Seed had grown to the size of the Chaos Divine Thunder Divine Dao Seed, and the black patterns on its surface turned blood-red, adding a touch of strangeness.

Moreover, this Divine Dao Seed seemed to emit an aura of authentic yet illusory, elusive nature, with the Chaos Divine Thunder Dao Seed beside it, appearing to match it in intensity.

After the Divine Dao Seed’s transformation ended, a peculiar power emanated from it, spreading through Gu Yuan’s limbs, bones, and organs.

Under the influence of this power, Gu Yuan felt some special changes in his body.

Hmm, his skin seemed to become increasingly smooth and resilient.

He even felt the urge to constantly use escape techniques, maneuvering and flying through the air.

In his mind, many insights related to escape techniques and the power of space inexplicably appeared.

These insights were extremely mystical and unique, even though they were infused into Gu Yuan’s mind, he found them somewhat hard to grasp for a moment.

"This escape technique is quite peculiar..."

Once these changes were completely finished, Gu Yuan muttered to himself, his mind shifted, and a faint radiant light appeared over his body, then he suddenly vanished from the spot.

Almost simultaneously, on the branch of an old tree a thousand feet away, Gu Yuan’s figure suddenly appeared.

"I never thought this Eternal Divine Escape is no longer just a simple escape technique, but a divine escape technique related to the Path of Space!"

"And in terms of speed, the former Endless Spirit Escape can’t compare with the current Eternal Divine Escape at all!"

Gu Yuan’s eyes shone with brilliant light, his mood quite excited.

What excited him was that the Eternal Divine Escape had allowed him to comprehend some of the mysteries of the Power of Space.
