The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

As it swam, its yellow vertical pupils stared at the tricolor crystal, a strong desire emanating from it through the soul contract.

It was as if the crystals held a fatal attraction for it.

"You want to eat this?" Han Ning looked at Xuebing's unusually eager appearance and used vines to roll up the crystal.

"Awoo! Awoo!" Snowcake responded frantically.

Han Ning pondered for a moment.

This crystal is very likely the core essence of that coral monster.

As his animal companion, Snowcake will eventually receive most of its energy essence back to him through the contract after it devours the crystal. Snowcake's strong desire may bring about some strange changes.

"it is good."

He controlled the vines and threw them into the wide-open mouth of the snow cake.

Snowcake flicked its neck and caught the flying crystal.

The crystal that shimmered with a tri-colored halo disappeared into its mouth.

Snowcake's throat bobbed, and the three-colored crystal slid into its stomach.

The next second, something unexpected happened.

"Awooo, awooo awooo!"

After swallowing the crystal-studded snow cake, its eyes widened, its mouth gaped open, and it began to emit a series of shrill screams.

His body, which had been hopping and skipping, suddenly stiffened like a rat that had eaten rat poison, and he collapsed into the water with a thud.

"??!"

Seeing this, Han Ning couldn't help but take a step forward, thinking that something had happened to Xuebing.

However, judging from the soul link, this guy's life force is still very strong.

"Ow!"

After falling into the puddles, Xuebing's body began to convulse violently.

Dazzling blue, purple, and red rays of light burst forth from the gaps in the gray-white scales.

The light penetrated through skin, flesh, and bones, even illuminating the surrounding swirling white mist in a bizarre and fantastical way.

“Wabibabu…”

Snowcake's eyes went out of focus, and large amounts of saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth.

Its thick limbs kicked erratically, stirring up the mud.

"%……#￥……！Roar! Roar!"

After the halo spread over the entire snow cake.

Han Ning keenly sensed that from the depths of Xuebing's soul, a continuous stream of tyrannical emotions was emanating, capable of destroying everything.

That brutal aura belonging to the Black Tide once again affected the Snow Cake!

Mixed within the violent emotions was a trace of yearning for life.

It's like a carp yearning to transform into a dragon.

Clearly, the crystal contains the aura of the Black Tide.

Han Ning understood and immediately activated [Nature's Blessing].

With the blessing of the earth, a rich emerald light emanated from his palm, enveloping the snow cake.

Chi Chi Chi!

The scales of the rice cracker lost their luster at a visible rate, becoming brittle and curled.

Large pieces peeled off its body, revealing the bright red flesh underneath.

The murky floodwaters stained these exposed wounds as if dripping onto a red-hot iron, causing large plumes of white mist to rise.

Wisps of black mist, barely visible to the naked eye, mingled with the white fog and dissipated.

Nature's blessings continuously purified and nourished, gradually dispelling the violent emotions deep within Xuebing's brain.

"Whoa!"

The snow cake's cry suddenly rose in pitch, transforming into a deep roar that Han Ning had never heard before.

Its flesh and blood are constantly being torn apart and reassembled.

Finally, the rate at which the scales were peeling off began to slow down.

On top of the flesh, a layer of white keratin with a warm, pearly luster grew.

This newly formed skin hardened rapidly, quickly transforming into tightly packed, delicate, porcelain-like pure white scales.

The new scales are smaller and smoother than the old ones, with a faint tri-color fluorescence flowing along their edges.

The snout is slightly shortened, with sharp lines.

In the very center of his brow, a tricolored crystal scale, no bigger than a fingernail, appeared.

This scale is perfectly diamond-shaped, as if it were carefully cut from the purest gemstone.

"Hooooo..."

A deep, metallic hissing sound rang out.

Supporting its body, Xuebing slowly stood up from beneath the murky water.

Water droplets slid down its porcelain-white body.

Newly formed scales covering its entire body were revealed.

The current Xuebing stands nearly 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder and is about 4 meters long. Its height gradually decreases from head to tail, and its entire body exudes a sense of power.

The limbs had become thicker and longer than before, and the ends of the five claws gleamed with a chilling light.

Its long, narrow tail was covered with a row of fine, serrated bony spikes, resembling a white bone whip that swung nimbly in the water.

The three-colored crystal scale between his brows flickered with Xuebing's breath.

Its eyes have transformed into a peculiar shape, resembling glass or crystal, while remaining generally brass in color.

But at the edge of the pupil, a barely perceptible layer of purple, red, and blue interwoven lines appeared.

A faint sense of mental pressure emanated from it.

Chapter 60 Crystal Breath

Xuebing shook its head, shaking off the mud and water. The ferocity in its eyes faded, replaced by a familiar intimacy.

It whimpered, moved its limbs, and waded through the murky water to Han Ning's side, rubbing its cool head against its master's leg.

After Xuebing completed his transformation, an energy torrent far more powerful than when he killed the tuna rushed into his body along the bond of the soul contract.

[Druid Growth Progress +525] (Current Lv5, 751/2000)

[Mental Strength +1.2] (Mental Strength: 3.4)

Han Ning's body trembled, and he almost rolled his eyes from the pleasure.

I felt every cell in my body greedily devouring this power, and my vision became clearer.

At the same time, Xuebing's brand-new information panel appeared in front of Han Ning's eyes:

[Animal Companion: Tricolor (Jewel) Crocodile Lizard]

[Level: Lv4 (1/550)]

[Growth Progress: 1/550]

【Mental Power: 1】

【Skill:

Mental Scream (Beginner): Unleashes a roar imbued with mental impact, stunning, disrupting, or even briefly stunning the target.

Crystal Flow Breath (Basic): Condenses internal energy and exhales an energy stream with corrosive, slowing, or mildly disruptive effects.

"A two-level jump? The race has even changed." Han Ning was shocked; the crystal's effect was far more potent than he had expected.

He was a little curious about Xuebing's current combat strength.

"Snowcake, go and see what you're capable of. Help them clear out the remaining monsters."

"Hooo!"

Xuebing responded and kicked off.

boom!

The water burst open and rushed into the monster horde that was still besieging the Awakened Squad not far away.

The target is a spiral crab that is wielding its giant drill pincers.

The three-colored crystal scale on the center of the snow cake suddenly lit up.

"Ow!"

An invisible mental fluctuation pierced the relatively simple consciousness of the Spiral Armor Crab.

[Mental Scream]

The vortex crab froze, its rapidly spinning drill-like pincers stopped, and its body staggered in the water.

Taking this opportunity, I took a big bite of the rice cracker.

hum.

A fist-sized stream of particles, swirling with tri-colored halos, condensed and took shape in its mouth.

puff!

A condensed, almost tangible, three-colored beam of light, as thick as a child's arm, shot out and accurately struck the upper half of the vortex crab's body, where its eyes were connected.

Chichi~

The carapace that was hit by the beam hissed and emitted white smoke, quickly turning gray.
