Chapter 71 - Legend (1/2)

“Is this the evolutionary form of an iron-eating beast?”

Still in a daze, Shi Yu left that state.

However, that form still left a deep impression on Shi Yu.

The Holy Spring was also known as the Evolution Holy Spring. It had a very small chance of increasing the evolutionary aptitude of the pets while stimulating their potential.

Shi Yu did not have much hope at first. After all, he had never heard of an iron-eating beast evolving.

However, what Eleven was experiencing now did not seem to be simple.

If that form was the evolutionary body of the iron-eating beast, it indeed looked more suitable for battle than the current iron-eating beast!

Its body far surpassed that of ordinary iron-eating beasts. Coupled with its metal armor, it looked like it was born for battle. No, for war.

Unlike the current iron-eating beasts, who, though they could also fight, were clearly more suitable for acting cute.

The image he saw just now actually reminded Shi Yu of a story that was circulated on Earth.

Legend had it that in the ancient era, when the Yellow Emperor fought a mythical figure called Chi You, gods appeared everywhere. using many birds and beasts as battle pets.

Among them, there was a battle pet called the Iron-eating Beast. Its fur was black and white, and its armor was pitch-black. It ate iron and drank water, and its feces could be used as a weapon. Like iron, the beast’s combat strength was peerless.

Chi You raised two of these monstrous beasts. One of them was well-trained and had a muscular body. Chi You trained it to be his mount and equipped it with various weapons and armor.

However, because the iron-eating beast was extremely cute, Chi You treated the other one as his pet. Later on, in the battle with the Yellow Emperor, because Chi You was in a hurry, he rode the iron-eating beast that was his pet by mistake…

In the end, Chi You was killed because of this panda. During the final battle with the emperor, because his mount was weak, he was killed by Ying Long, who was invited by Emperor Huang to help!

Of course, this mythical story was still a joke no matter how one looked at it.

However, even if it was just a joke, one could still tell that the iron-eating beast’s status seemed to be very special.

The truth of history was impossible to investigate. If the iron-eating beast was really the mount of demons, gods, and Chi You, it would definitely not be as simple as it seemed.

After all, even if Chi You had lost, one had to remember who the opponent was.

Ying Long was the Dragon God of Creation in ancient myths, the True Dragon and Ancestral Dragon of legend, one of the Four Great Divine Dragons!

During the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, Ying Long had killed Chi You and Kuafu in the South Pole to help the Yellow Emperor fight for the throne.

Helping Da Yu subdue the great flood, establishing the Dragon Gate, capturing Wu Zhiqi… He could be said to be the peerless war god with the best achievements in mythology.

Even if the iron-eating beast wasn’t its match, it had to at least be a Mythical creature to be able to participate in such a battle, right?

“I’m freaking imagining things again.”

Shi Yu hurriedly stopped his fantasy.

He had already transmigrated and was in two different worlds. It was best not to imagine things.

Even if the iron-eating beasts had evolved, their racial rank would definitely not increase too much. Commander and Monarch Stage experts would probably be at the strongest existences. Myth Stage experts were simply a fantasy for iron-eating beasts.

“But…”

However, from a different perspective, since there were such strange things like transmigration, then perhaps the various historical myths on Earth were not that simple?

Shi Yu fell into deep thought. At that moment, with a splash, the little iron beast in the Evolution Sacred Spring was picked up by a branch and thrown to the ground.

[It’s over.]

The Ancient Life Tree’s voice sounded in Shi Yu and the iron-eating beast’s ears.

Shi Yu regained his senses and looked at the wet Eleven.

“What? It’s over?”

“But it hasn’t evolved yet.”

The Ancient Life Tree: “?”

[The Evolution Holy Spring water is not enough for it to evolve. It only activates its weak ancient bloodline. You have to search for the true path of evolution yourself.]

The Grandma Ancient Tree stretched out her branch again, wanting to bring Shi Yu and the iron-eating beast away from this place.

“Ah…” Shi Yu looked at Eleven.

At this moment, Eleven did not think about evolution. Instead, it subconsciously clenched its fists.
