Chapter 258 — Ginseng Baby's Invincible Evolution
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 5 of 11
But Ginseng Baby and Shi Jin obviously wouldn't be satisfied with that. Ginseng Baby's Mutation Body hadn't felt any pressure at all yet, so there was no reason not to keep absorbing.
Only, from here on it wouldn't be a matter of relying on time power alone.
"Eee..." Ginseng Baby began eating the Moonstone, began eating the Time Soil, began eating the Death Spirit Fruit, began eating the time-mutation fruit, continuing to enrich the mutation power within its body.
At this very moment, if not for its Mutation Body skill, its body would already have burst. Enormous mutation power had gathered in the special organ condensed by the Mutation Body, waiting quietly for Ginseng Baby to absorb it...
A long while later...
Ginseng Baby glanced at Shi Jin, feeling it was time to absorb this mutation power.
"Then let's begin."
Shi Jin smiled faintly and gave Ginseng Baby a thumbs-up for encouragement.
"Eee!" Ginseng Baby wore a resolute expression.
As Ginseng Baby decided to evolve, the other three little family beasts, who had been wandering the Time Secret Realm for half a day, immediately came running to watch.
They gathered around Shi Jin, all staring at Ginseng Baby, curious whether it could mutate successfully.
In truth, if Ginseng Baby grew stronger, the whole team would benefit—Eleven and the other beasts understood that much perfectly well.
"Eee!"
And from Ginseng Baby's own perspective, aside from the fact that growing stronger meant it could nourish Shi Jin all the better, its desire to greatly boost its own combat power was in truth just as fierce. Whether it could escape the fate of being nothing but a health supplement—this was the one chance to decide it all!
The mutation materials used this time were already of a very high grade. Although the mutant form was a permanent skill, counting on another mutation down the road was hardly realistic. This time, it had to get it right in one go!
"Eee!!" Ginseng Baby cried out once more.
"Evolve," Shi Jin murmured, watching, expectation stirring quietly in his heart.
The next instant.
BOOM!!!
Ginseng Baby fully activated the power of mutation. In an instant its body became like a reactor, every kind of mutated force erupting all at once, remaking Ginseng Baby's body.
At that moment, white light of evolution flooded almost instantly through Ginseng Baby's entire form.
Among it all, the vast Time-Accumulation Force blossomed first, turning Ginseng Baby's body into something like a Time-Accumulation white hole. Beneath the baptism of boundless Time-Accumulation Force, Ginseng Baby unexpectedly sensed, within that white world, that the greatest change the Time-Accumulation Force wrought upon it was in fact to dig once more into its latent potential and raise its own quality.
It was as if its body had in a single instant endured decades, even a century, of tempering, its life force grown incomparably mellow. This was the peculiar nature of tonic-type beasts: the longer they lived steeped in time, the richer their nourishing effect.
This surge of Time-Accumulation Force seemed to transform it outright from a hundred-year ginseng into a thousand-year ginseng. The skill that benefited most was probably Source of Life; in that moment its mastery began climbing straight toward the proficient tier.
An aroma beyond all compare burst from Ginseng Baby's body, filling the entire palace in an instant and moving Shi Jin and Eleven and the others to their very core.
"Eee..." Within the white light, Ginseng Baby's consciousness drifted in a daze.
Beside it, Shi Jin and the others scarcely dared to breathe, afraid they might lose control of themselves.
Holy shit.
That smell—it went straight to your head.
At this moment, though Ginseng Baby's evolution had not yet fully run its course, Shi Jin's bestiary was already clearly reflecting the changes in Ginseng Baby's energy.
