Chapter 1297: Chapter 923: Evolution Night (Two in One)_3

“Xun Xun!”

Little Treasure Hunter had already fixed its position as soon as it put down the Leaf Stone Fragment, its eyes glowed blue, and the group vanished from the spot.

Shortly after they left, the tree they had been crouching by opened its eyes.

…

By midnight, Mikaela and Guo Ruiqi were lying in their sleeping bags.

Qiao Sang was keeping watch nearby, she took out her phone and checked the time.

After several Secret Realm trips, she had gotten smarter. Although she didn’t have an Electric Type Pet Beast to charge her phone, she had a power bank for recharging anytime.

While such equipment as power banks was no longer popular in the Beast Taming society, not everyone had Electric Type Pet Beasts for charging, so they still had some market.

She bought ten power banks before entering the Secret Realm, just in case.

With the phone charged, she clearly knew what time it was.

23:44… Time was almost up… Qiao Sang put down the phone and looked around the surroundings.

The surrounding area was flat land, overgrown with weeds, a narrow path lay ahead.

The entrance to this path was extremely narrow, making it inconvenient for large pet beasts to pass, so there was no worry about strong beasts suddenly charging out.

Sometimes wild pet beasts would emerge from the side, but they were all at the beginner-intermediate level, nothing too concerning.

Qiao Sang watched for a while and shook the already asleep Qingbao beside her, whispering:

“Qingbao, wake up.”

“Qingqing…”

Unlike Yaobao, Qingbao woke up with just a shake, rubbing its eyes.

“Get ready, you’re about to evolve.” Qiao Sang said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Qingbao instantly woke up:

“Qingqing?!”

Really?!

“Of course it’s true.” Qiao Sang said.

According to the Beast Taming Codex, Qingbao was just 3 points away from evolving to the next stage.

Even without consuming Energy Pills and energy-containing pet beast food, Qingbao could naturally reach that point.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao floated up, showing a joyful expression.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunter floated over, looking at Qingbao, full of satisfaction.

The stronger the Fifth becomes, the more powerful its backing will be when it takes in little brothers in the future.

At this moment, a voice sounded:

“Is Qing Qingni going to evolve?”

Qiao Sang looked up and saw that Xu Gehong had opened his eyes at some point, turning his head to look over.

“You haven’t slept?” Qiao Sang asked.

Mikaela responded with a “hmm” and repeated the earlier question:

“Is Qing Qingni going to evolve?”

Qiao Sang nodded: “Yes.”

Mikaela wasn’t particularly surprised to learn that Qiao Sang knew Qing Qingni was about to evolve.

Outside, every once in a while, Beast Tamers would typically have their pet beasts undergo comprehensive examinations to predict evolution time.

Those with deeper bonds with their pet beasts, or Beast Tamers at the C-level rank, could detect when their pet beasts were about to evolve even without examination.

Because pet beasts exhibit differences from their usual state near the time they are about to evolve.

“Let me help you keep watch.” Mikaela said, crawling out of her sleeping bag with concern.

Qiao Sang wasn’t surprised seeing this, since Qing Qingni was a legendary pet beast from the Zhongkong Region, and the person was also from the Zhongkong Region, naturally, they would care more.

“Then I’ll trouble you.”

“No trouble.”

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

After more than ten seconds, Qiao Sang asked: “Aren’t you waking up the Speed Sleep Bird?”

Mikaela said: “No need, I don’t only have the Speed Sleep Bird.”

She paused and then added:

“My Hidden Shield hasn’t slept either.”

After saying this, she nodded towards the air beside her.

For a brief two seconds of silence, a voice sounded: “Hidden…”

Qiao Sang suddenly recalled something: “Why did your Hidden Shield say ‘spray’ back then?”

The memory was still there… Mikaela’s expression froze slightly but quickly recovered, calmly saying:

“It seldom speaks, that time it was just clearing its throat.”

Which pet beast clears its throat by saying “spray”, do you think I believe that… Qiao Sang didn’t voice her doubts.

Right now the most important thing was Qingbao’s evolution.

At this moment, pressing about matters the other party didn’t want to talk about was meaningless.

It was good not to continue this topic… Mikaela waited half a minute, seeing that Qiao Sang didn’t press on, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In the time that followed, to avoid talking about inappropriate topics, Mikaela didn’t speak, just quietly observing the surroundings.

Time passed.

Quickly it reached 23:57.

Qiao Sang put down the phone and nodded towards Little Treasure Hunter.

“Xun Xun~”

Little Treasure Hunter understood the intention of its Beast Tamer, removed the ring, and took out a Fairy Heart as big as a pomegranate.

Its dazzling light in the night almost blinded Mikaela’s eyes.

She stared at the Fairy Heart, eyes wide with astonishment, filled with confusion and disbelief.

How could the Fairy Heart be so big?!

It shouldn’t be!

She clearly remembered the Fairy Heart sent by the Zhongkong Region’s people wasn’t even half this size!

Mikaela really wanted to ask, but given her status, she ultimately kept her questions to herself.

“Qingbao, are you ready?” Qiao Sang asked with a serious expression.

“Qingqing!”

Qingbao also nodded seriously.

23:59:58.

23:59:59.

Qiao Sang handed over the pomegranate-sized Fairy Heart.

Qingbao reached out its paw to make contact.

In an instant, a bright white light shone.
