Luo Yu arrived at the Earth Penguin and found that no new penguins had been caught on the island after so many days, so he shook his head.
This time, Luo Yu caught the little penguin with the talent of a "Construction Master".
Yes, it's the same talent as the little killer whale. Luo Yu first saw this talent on this Earth Penguin.
Compared to orcas, it's more plausible that Earth Penguin possess this talent, since they have the ability to Dig, so it's plausible that they could dig underground palaces or labyrinths.
This time, Luo Yu plans to use all the technology on it.
Rock Goat, Rock Turtle Honey, Rock Bee Essence... Except for lacking Rock Familiar and having no Rock-type abilities or related talents, its configuration is very close to the evolution configuration for the upcoming July.
Of course, by July, all the configurations will definitely need to be upgraded again.
For example, the Fermentation Master's Rock Goat has only been fermenting for a month. Although the rate of nutrient growth has slowed down significantly after a month, what if... what if the fermentation of Rock Goat can be Time Acceleration...?
If we accelerate the process by a year or two, given such a long fermentation period, the effects might undergo a second qualitative change!
The only thing to worry about is whether July will die on the spot after drinking that stuff and be reborn in the Sea of Ghosts as a ghost penguin Obsession with fishing.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Luo Yu first gave the "Construction Master's" Earth Penguin three injections.
Chen Bo's Courage Enhancement, Chen Bo's Spirit Enhancement, Chen Bo's Rock Element Enhancement!
The first injection makes it dare to drink fermented Rock Goat, the second injection ensures it remains sober after drinking it, and the third injection temporarily enhances its Rock Element talent.
Although Chen Bo's acupuncture was only temporary, it was indeed effective quickly.
"Ugh!!!"
After feeding the Construction Master Rock Goat and refreshing its taste with Rock Turtle honey, Luo Yu equipped it with the Heart of Rock Gem and took the Construction Master was delirious and confused, as if he had become an immortal, to the Ancient Evolution Stone.
With so many factors combined, Luo Yu began to look forward to it.
The Heart of Rock alone... was enough to evolve the Earth Penguin into Mid-Rank Species, so... what about now?
The Earth Penguin's body comes into contact with the evolution stone...
In the next instant, ancient light enveloped the entire body of the Earth Penguin.
Bathed in light, it underwent a complete transformation, its size continuously increasing!!!
From Earth Penguin to Blade Rock Penguin, its size only increased slightly, without any major changes. But now, with its radiant outline constantly expanding, in the blink of an eye, Earth Penguin is almost catching up to it in height!! What a huge penguin!
Boom!
The light of evolution suddenly dissipated, revealing the new evolved form of the Earth Penguin to Luo Yu.
Standing at 1.7 meters tall, with a physique as upright as a rock pillar, all its feathers have transformed into rock feathers, and a white stone shield pattern appears on its chest, while retaining its original black and white body.
The biggest difference from the mid-stage is that the obvious rock armor has now been perfectly integrated into its body, making the lines of the entire body smoother and more integrated... A stone crown has also been raised on its head, giving it a hint of imperial aura.
Originally, the stone blades that needed to be created by activating the Sword of the Earth with its special power had been fused with its fins and wings, and its entire wings had become sharp rock blades. Its feet were as thick and heavy as reefs, and the entire Emperor Rock Penguin stood there like a mountain.
[Race]: Emperor Rock Penguin
[Attributes]: Earth, Rock
[Racial Rank]: Upper-Tier Common Species
[Health Level]: Level 1
[Racial Abilities]: Dig, Sword of the Earth
[Individual Talents]: 1. Construction Master (Common talent; beings with this talent excel at constructing various buildings.) 2. Rock Element Affinity (Senior Level talent; possesses the aptitude to comprehend and master Geo-elemental abilities.)
"Well..." When Luo Yu first saw the imposing character "Emperor", he thought the Earth Penguin was going to evolve into Monarch Species in one go, but it turned out to be just Superior Species.
However, the Superior Species are not bad either; in fact, to be precise, the Superior Species are already quite good!
Even without Rock-type familiars, they've all evolved to Superior Species and gained Senior Level talents, which shows that those resources are indeed incredibly effective!
Given the situation in July, with top-tier potential, coupled with... an upgraded three-piece set and a Rock-type King-level familiar, it's not just wishful thinking to say that it could evolve into a King-level creature in one go; it's actually quite possible!
"Ugh!!!" After evolving, the Emperor Rock Penguin became just like the Water Devil Beast, glaring angrily at Luo Yu.
The Water Devil Beast are angry because they evolved during a crisis. After gaining great power, they are bound to retaliate. A group of angry hearts gathered together, and they lost their rationality, which made the Water Devil Beast' temper not very good after their evolution.
As for the Emperor Rock Penguin... it was clearly angry that Luo Yu had fed it poop earlier.
Call!!!
It swung its sword down, and Luo Yu stretched out two fingers, pinching its rock-blade-like wings, saying, "Very powerful... and its sharpness isn't bad either..."
"Although I haven't awakened any new superpowers,... I've made tremendous progress in terms of physical strength, and I'm already capable of going to fight Uncle White Crocodile one-on-one."
"Perhaps..." Luo Yu thought for a moment, perhaps the Water Devil Beast familiar entry he had originally conceived for July could be changed.
Because of its weak constitution, July would overload itself every time it used the Power of Magma. Its small body simply could not handle the high temperature frequently. Even if it still had strength, its body would not be able to withstand the load after using it a few times.
This is seriously affecting my performance in July!
So Luo Yu had been thinking before whether to give the Water Devil Beast an ice-type talent so that it could cool down July whenever needed.
But as it stands now, the Superior Species, the Emperor Rock Penguin, has already propelled it towards becoming a "rock creature," greatly enhancing its physique. If July were to evolve into Monarch Species, its physique would undoubtedly be invincible, after all... it is, after all, a dragon species!
Elder Dragon!
Perhaps, without the need for cooldown, the Power of Magma can be used freely. In this case, the ice talent becomes dispensable and can be saved for other attributes.
Of course, there is another possibility: after July evolved, the power of high temperature also evolved, becoming even hotter, making it difficult for July to control for a long time.
However, it doesn't matter much. After all, "water" can cool high temperatures, and Water Devil Beast also have the water attribute. Moreover, not having ice-type talent doesn't mean that Water Devil Beast can't learn ice-type abilities. Water and ice are essentially the same thing. Even if an individual's talent doesn't show ice-type talent, it's relatively easy for a water-type pet to learn ice-type abilities.
If that's the case...
Luo Yu deflected the rock blade from the Emperor Rock Penguin and redefined the talent plan for July's Water Devil Beast Familiar.
Dominion, Rock Element Affinity, Eight-Sword Style, and Coordination Master! The Monarch Species can possess up to four talents: Dominion is the core, Rock Element Affinity is key to evolution, Eight- Eight-Sword Style allows for the skillful manipulation of tools and abilities with eight tentacles, Coordination Master grants exceptional aptitude for energy control...
Among them, the Coordination Master is Luo Yu's current optimized choice. The Eight-Sword Style and Coordination Master allows the Water Devil Beast to control its supernatural abilities to an unbelievable degree.
With high energy control, isn't that equivalent to an ice-type talent? After all, water and ice are just different forms. In the eyes of Coordination Master, it can indeed replace the Ice Element Affinity talent.
When the time comes, the water will turn into ice and combine with the rock, creating sharp ice and rock blades. The Water Devil Beast will still be a formidable force, wielding eight weapons!
In addition, these two talents will allow its "Shapeshifting at Will" racial ability to be fully utilized, and July's fishing rod dream will be realized.
Forget about fishing rods... With these two talents alone, it could probably even transform the Water Devil Beast into a lifelike octopus girl. It's all about its excellent energy control! It's all about delicate work!
"You were looking for me? Why does this place stink!"
While Luo Yu Emperor Rock Penguin were facing off, An Yao, who had just woken up, came to this cave. When she saw the Emperor Rock Penguin, she was slightly taken aback. After looking closely, she realized that it was not Luo Yu's penguin, but a newly evolved experimental subject. However, what concerned her more was the lingering aura here!
"Scholar An Yao." Luo Yu knocked out the Emperor Rock Penguin with a karate chop and carried it back to its cage in a princess carry.
I don't know if this cage will be able to keep it in.
Let Researcher Chen Zhuo handle it later; let's move it to a different location...
For example, send it to a construction team for training, and it will definitely become a "construction pioneer" on Mirror Moon Island in the future. Luo Yu can then hire it to expand the research institute and place orders with it.
"I heard from Yu Lei that there was a major archaeological discovery here, so I thought I'd give it a try," Luo Yu said.
An Yao said, "So you want your Earth Penguin to Dream Entry?"
"Sure."
"I'd also like to see if its connection to the earth's veins is deeper."
She summoned her Angel Dolphin, and Luo Yu looked over as well.
Angel Dolphin... Its pale pink, smooth skin gleams softly, and its dorsal fin resembles translucent angel wings. Although there is no water, it seems to have the ability to fly. Fine mist surrounds its body, radiating spiritual energy, and its eyes are clear.
[Race]: Angel Dolphin
[Attributes]: Water, Spirit
[Race Rank]: Mid-Rank Monarch Species
[Health Level]: 39
[Racial Abilities]: Water Wings, Sweet Dream, Dream Entry [Individual Talents]: 1. Endurance (A common talent; stamina is stronger than that of ordinary individuals.)
2. Agility (A common talent; more agile than the average individual).
3. Unpredictable Moods (Senior Level Talent: Weather-related abilities are greatly enhanced when the user's mood changes drastically.)
4. Darkening (Senior Level talent; after mastering dark-based abilities, one can enter a special form.)
"Huh..." This was the first time Luo Yu had seen this Angel Dolphin. It seemed to have good talent, but he wondered if An Yao had successfully developed it.
"Come on," An Yao said.
"Okay." Luo Yu summoned July and said, "I heard from Yu Lei that one can also train willpower in dreams?"
"Hmm?"
An Yao said, "You could say that. Do you know what lucid dreaming is? It refers to the physiological phenomenon where a person remains conscious during sleep and can perceive or control the content of their dreams. Normal people who have lucid dreams can even control themselves to fly or imagine weapons."
"When it Dream Entry, it will remain in a lucid dream state and will be able to move freely within the dream."
"And in dreams, its power actually depends on its own will. It can do whatever it wants in dreams through its own will. The stronger its willpower, the greater the changes it can make to dreams."
"During this time, it will also see some ancient creatures from the earth's ley lines, some weak and some strong. If it dares, it can try to provoke them and fight them... which is equivalent to a 'clash of wills.'" I see... Luo Yu nodded and briefly explained it to July, July eyes lit up.
"Can I enter the Dream Entry?" Luo Yu asked again.
"That's possible, since you have a contract with it, but it'll be difficult on your own. I'll go with you."
"Good..."
"I'll first help your little penguin connect to the Earth's ley line memories. The Earth's ley line magnetic field will affect its dreams... making it dream of ancient scenes."
Scholar An Yao took out a magnet and had July hug it, as if to attract the power of the earth's magnetic field.
The little penguin first traveled back to ancient times, and Luo Yu, with An Yao's help, followed closely behind, finding July, who was doing something in her dream.
"What is it doing?" After Dream Entry, An Yao stood on the scorched earth and asked Luo Yu beside her.
In the dream, July didn't rush to provoke the ancient beasts to temper her will. Instead, she used the characteristics of lucid dreaming to imagine a super fishing rod, which flew into the air and sat firmly on the fishing platform.
"Gurgle!" July felt amazing to fly! Who can't fly now?!
In July's opinion, this place was simply the perfect spot to practice fishing skills; it was going to fish for dinosaurs in the river of time! "It's okay, I'm just getting the urge to fish," Luo Yu said, easily calming down.
