Chapter 260 Evolution
The adjutant brought a group of captains back to the beach, ready to guard against sneak attacks from the demons.
They stood at the edge of the beach, staring at the sea with their eyes sharp as torches.
He wove his spiritual consciousness into a large net and continuously scanned the surrounding sea area. He could only sense the breath of demons, but no human figures.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement under the sea.
The corpses of two huge demons floated on the sea, and the fishy blood attracted a large number of fish to eat them.
The corpse began to slowly float away under the impact of the fish monster.
The adjutant had an idea that these two corpses might be able to provide them with some information about the demons.
He was about to give the order to salvage the body when suddenly, a figure jumped up from the city wall and landed on top of the demon's body in a few leaps.
When the figure landed, the adjutant saw clearly that it was Commander Li.
This made the adjutants and others feel relieved, but they were also a little confused. Wasn't the commander studying the alien demons with Commander Zheng Su? Why did he come to the battlefield?
Commander Li had a serious look on his face. He quickly put the two demon corpses back into the storage ring. His movements were skillful and it was obvious that he had planned it for a long time.
Then, he flew into the air and scanned the surrounding sea area with his spiritual sense.
His brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't feel any breath of the demon.
The surrounding seas were calm and all traces of the demons had disappeared. What on earth were these damn demons trying to do?
Commander Li checked the deep sea area, but his spiritual consciousness was swallowed up before it could go deep, so he had to give up.
He put away the storage ring, then flew into the sky and arrived beside his adjutant in a blink of an eye.
"You did a great job this time. The cooperation was excellent. Most importantly, the demon's body was not completely destroyed."
Commander Li's voice echoed in the night sky, a hint of approval in his voice, "These demon corpses are very important for us to study their weaknesses."
He originally thought that it would take some time to retrieve the demon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and that the body would probably be damaged. However, he didn't expect that when he retrieved it just now, he only found some fatal wounds.
Two intact corpses were enough for them to discover many secrets of the demons.
The adjutant nodded, his heart filled with admiration, and said respectfully:
"Thank you for the compliment, Commander. We will definitely continue to work hard."
Commander Li smiled slightly and nodded. He turned back to the city wall, complimented Elder Yan again, and then left the city wall.
Elder Yan turned and looked at the soldiers on the beach, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes:
"Soldiers, you all did a great job today. Go back and rest, we will continue the battle tomorrow."
The soldiers responded in unison and turned back to their tents.
Soon, only the adjutant and several captains were left on the beach. They stood by the sea and continued to watch the sea vigilantly. They would be the ones patrolling tonight.
……
The night was deep, and the military camp was bustling with people. The sound of waves mixed with whispers seemed very warm at the moment.
Hu Qing relaxed his sore muscles and found Gu Yang waiting behind the city wall.
After Gu Yang looked around Hu Qing's body, his expression became solemn.
There was a hint of worry in his eyes, which made Hu Qing feel nervous.
"What's wrong, Brother Gu?" Hu Qing asked softly, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
Gu Yang looked at the soldiers walking around and knew that this was not the place to talk, so he took Hu Qing to their tent.
Hu Qing looked at the serious Gu Yang, somewhat confused, but still followed him, his heart full of doubts.
The two walked one after the other through the tent area and headed towards their residence.
The military camp seemed particularly quiet in the night, with only the campfire outside the tent swaying gently and making crackling sounds.
The footsteps of Hu Qing and Gu Yang echoed in the night, appearing particularly clear.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the tent, Hu Qing realized something was wrong.
He felt something in his heart and stopped immediately, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Gu Yang also felt a mottled breath in the tent. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he became serious.
The two looked at each other and immediately realized that this was Xiao Zi's aura.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt nervous. Did Xiao Zi eat the wrong thing this time?
Or did someone do something bad to Xiao Zi while they were away?
Gu Yang kicked the tent door open without hesitation, and saw Xiao Zi curled up into a ball, emitting dazzling light, like a bright pearl, illuminating the entire tent.
Hu Qing followed closely behind, rushed into the tent with Gu Yang, and came to Xiao Zi's side.
Hu Qing gently placed his hand on Xiao Zi and immediately felt a powerful energy flowing through Xiao Zi's body.
He was shocked and then realized that Xiao Zi was about to evolve.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zi is about to advance and should become a first-level monster." Hu Qing said softly, with a hint of surprise and worry in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang took out dozens of ores and placed them next to Xiao Zi, then took out a medium-grade spirit stone and gave it to him to hold.
Xiao Zi seemed to understand what the two people in front of her said and let out a low hum, as if responding to Gu Yang's concern.
Its body trembled slightly in the light, obviously undergoing tremendous changes.
Gu Yang also squatted down and gently stroked Xiao Zi's back.
There was a glint of excitement in his eyes. Xiao Zi's advancement was great news for them.
Although the first-level monster is not that powerful, it has evolved after all and is probably not far from being a mount.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Gu Yang asked softly, with a hint of expectation in his voice.
Hu Qing scratched his head and said, "I've only raised cats, but I've never seen a dragon, let alone a demon beast."
Xiao Zi let out a low hum again, and her body continued to tremble in the light.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.
Inside the tent, time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang stayed close to Xiao Zi, feeling the changes in the energy in her body.
The light became brighter and brighter, and Xiao Zi's body was gradually changing.
Its scales became smoother and harder, and its body gradually grew larger, exuding a domineering aura.
Finally, after a dazzling light, Xiao Zi's body stopped shaking.
The light slowly dissipated, revealing Xiao Zi's brand new look.
Its body became stronger, its scales sparkled brightly in the moonlight, and its eyes were like two bright gems, sparkling with wisdom.
