Reborn in Fire, a First-Tier Spirit Beast

Gao Yunyi's journey has no destination.

It means to be content with one's lot and go with the flow.

His game doesn't have any plugins or cheats, and he doesn't know where the quests are, so he can only run around the world aimlessly.

From Heyang County to Ningzhou Prefecture, and then westward from Ningzhou Prefecture, he would stop for a while wherever there were people.

Unfortunately, several days passed.

No more task boxes popped up.

Ever since he learned that Xiao Bai possessed Spirit-Raising Pill that could help him break through to the next level, Xiaobai Bai has been acting like he's in heat, constantly hovering around him.

One moment she would dance before him, the next she would sing for him; she was truly at his beck and call, always obedient to his every word.

Gao Yunyi decided to stop teasing it and instead reward it with the Spirit-Raising Pill.

After all, even if they didn't achieve great things, they still put in a lot of effort.

They chose a remote, deserted mountaintop, and the Crane King carried Gao Yunyi down.

Whether it was because the Crane King had guessed its master's thoughts or not, it immediately prostrated itself on the ground after landing, humbly and respectfully inviting its master down.

That fawning and obsequious demeanor was a stark contrast to the arrogant and domineering Crane King of the past.

They're incredibly cunning.

"Take it. If you fail to break through, don't follow me anymore."

Gao Yunyi tossed the Spirit-Raising Pill to Xiaobai with a look of disgust, and the latter immediately stretched its neck, opened its beak, and caught it accurately.

The moment the Spirit-Raising Pill entered its mouth, it was quickly swallowed.

Moments later, the drug took effect.

Countless strands of green light emanated from the Crane King's body, rising like wisps of green smoke.

Looking at the strange phenomena on his body, feeling the unusual sensations within,

The Crane King dared not move rashly, but turned its head and looked at its master with a questioning and uneasy gaze.

Gao Yunyi turned his head slightly, ignoring its plea for help.

He's not Spirit Pet, how would he know what to do after taking the Spirit-Raising Pill?

Besides, all you have to do in the game is feed them; success is success, failure is failure, and you don't need to do anything else.

Seeing that its master was ignoring it, the Crane King looked aggrieved.

But as the medicine continued to take effect, the Crane King underwent tremendous changes.

Those wisps of green smoke suddenly transformed into Green Flames, instantly engulfing the Crane King's entire body, burning it like a raging fire.

The Crane King let out a painful cry.

It felt its body being roasted and its soul being tempered.

The burning and tearing sensation made it feel like it was in unbearable pain, worse than death.

Gao Yunyi simply watched Jingjing.

He doesn't know how to make a move, nor does he know how.

Just like he said, if the breakthrough isn't successful, then you don't need to follow him anymore.

He would not hesitate to abandon the defeated Crane King and instead tame a new, exceptionally talented Spirit Pet with high growth potential.

He's already level 15.

He learned the Azure Profound Sect's technique: Fleeting Light, Blurred Shadow.

He can go anywhere, whether it's a high mountain, a deep valley, or a cliff.

Catching a good Spirit Pet is not difficult for him.

Whether or not the Crane King can survive this ordeal depends entirely on himself.

If you succeed, you'll still be qualified to follow him.

If you fail, go back to mating and having children.

Perhaps sensing the indifference and ruthlessness in its master's eyes, the Crane King suddenly stopped singing.

The green flames burned brighter and brighter, more and more fiercely.

Like a green sun, it shines brightly and dazzlingly on the mountaintop.

But the burning and tearing sensations grew stronger and stronger.

But from beginning to end, Xiaobai never uttered another sound.

I simply endured, restrained, and resisted the excruciating pain that felt like my heart was being torn apart and my Five Viscera Burning.

Gradually,

Xiaobai Bai was no longer lucid, her eyes were unfocused, and she could no longer feel the pain in her body or soul.

The green flames gradually began to weaken.

Looking at Xiaobai, whose breath was weak and whose expression was listless amidst the flames, Gao Yunyi showed disappointment.

It seems that his talent is too low and his bloodline is too mixed. Even with the Spirit-Raising Pill, he cannot break through the shackles and advance to the level of Spirit Beast.

At this point, the green flames had become very weak.

Xiaobai's pure white feathers, without a single blemish, had been completely burned away in the raging fire, revealing its charred and blood-red flesh.

The arrogant and domineering Crane King has been transformed into a half-cooked, fat chicken.

There was no pity or sympathy in Gao Yunyi's eyes.

There was only indifference, and a sense of regret for that Spirit-Raising Pill.

It seems he needs to get a new mount.

What should I choose this time?

Why not try being a giant eagle? Becoming a legendary eagle hero doesn't seem so bad.

Gao Yunyi touched his chin; after all, his face bore a third of Bai Gu's features.

They're gone.

It's boring.

Let it fend for itself here.

Gao Yunyi turned around, preparing to descend the mountain and leave.

"Gah--"

But then a faint, almost inaudible voice came from behind.

Xiaobai didn't want its owner to abandon it.

It wants to keep its owner.

But Gao Yunyi spoke without turning his head.

"If you give up like this, then you don't deserve to be with me."

The coldness and ruthlessness in his tone were like a sharp arrow, piercing Xiaobai's fragile heart.

But at the same time, it also stirred up its pride as the Crane King.

Its eyes instantly turned bloodshot, its cries became sharp and high-pitched, and it flapped its charred wings.

It stumbled and fell to its feet.

Even if it means death,

It too shall die a glorious and heroic death.

It cannot allow its master to look down on it; it cannot lose the prestige and pride of the Crane King.

Buzz--

The already flickering, weak green flame, almost extinguished, suddenly seemed to be doused with a bucket of gasoline, instantly boiling and surging.

Flames roared into the sky, and tongues of fire danced wildly.

The raging fire burned fiercely, far more intensely and violently than before.

But Xiaobai, unlike before, was not in pain or discomfort; instead, it seemed to be enjoying itself as it bathed in the flames.

Its aura surged at an incredible speed.

Its charred, blood-red body rapidly grew new feathers.

In just a few breaths,

Not only has it been fully revived, but it has also become more majestic and larger than before.

Its originally snow-white feathers now shimmered with a faint golden light, and its tail was adorned with tricolored plumes.

Furthermore, it has an additional golden feather crown on its red-crowned crown.

Like a crown.

This makes it appear even more majestic and imposing.

Xiaobai spread its wings, raised its head and cried out, and the remaining green flames on its body instantly went out.

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes,

With an air of supreme dominance, overlooking all birds,

It announces its arrival to the whole world.

At this point,

The first Spirit Beast in the human world has been born.

At the same time, Gao Yunyi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

But soon,

The smile on his lips vanished.

A text notification suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of my field of vision.

Your friend Zhang Huaimin has logged off.
