"What the f*ck!"
Ethan was utterly shocked at that moment.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Ethan decided to give the red dragon a shot.
Whoosh!
The Nightmare Burst Arrow was instantly fired.
Miraculously, the moment this arrow was fired, it automatically became silent, and green sparks began to scatter around the arrow shaft.
Then, the Nightmare Burst Arrow instantly vanished into thin air.
Just now, Ethan had aimed at the red dragon's flamboyantly swaying tail.
So when the Nightmare Burst Arrow reappeared, Ethan was surprised to find, the arrow was actually heading straight for the area beneath the dragon's tail.
And then...
"AWOOO~"
Hearing the red dragon's mournful howl, Ethan subconsciously clenched his buttocks.
Although Ethan wasn't the red dragon, he still felt the other's intense, bittersweet sensation in that instant.
Even, at this very moment, the red dragon's scream of extreme, bittersweet agony made Ethan frown tightly.
"It looks..."
"As if it is actually enjoying it?"
'Is this the so-called 'hurting so good'?'
BOOM!
The next moment, the Nightmare Burst Arrow exploded right inside the red dragon's body.
The red dragon's body was already filled with a large amount of flammable gas. Now, this flammable gas was directly ignited by the burst arrow.
So, the entire red dragon instantly exploded like a huge bomb in the dark night. Full of firepower. A riot of colors.
The fire dragon turned into scattered points of light.
Like fireworks, illuminating the entire land.
"Meow, is it pretty?"
Ethan, holding Little Daji, asked.
And Daji didn't mind being held by Ethan; it even proudly climbed directly onto Ethan's shoulders.
"Meow!", Daji responded haughtily.
Ethan stroked Daji's little paws, but as he stroked, he felt something wasn't quite right.
Because the fur on Daji's body was disappearing, getting less and less, as if it was being stroked bald.
'No way!'
'A catgirl's fur can't handle this much stroking?'
Ethan quickly turned his head to look and discovered that Daji's two little paws had actually transformed into the shape of human feet.
"Eeek!"
Ethan was greatly astonished.
He hurriedly took Daji down from his body, only to find that Daji was no longer the original Daji, but had completely turned into a little l*li.
A cute cat-eared l*li.
And the most important thing was, she wasn't wearing anything.
Pfft!
Ethan's nosebleed shot out again.
Daji gave Ethan a disdainful look, then licked the blood on her arm.
This blood was from Ethan's nosebleed that had just 'splattered' onto Daji.
"Hmm~"
However, just as Ethan was about to further appreciate the beautiful scenery.
The White Eagle very annoyingly let out a cry nearby.
'Dammit!'
'This clueless, unromantic bird ruined my good time!'
Just as Ethan was about to shoo it away, he noticed the White Eagle had something in its beak.
"What's this?"
Ethan didn't even know how to describe the thing the White Eagle was holding.
Because what appeared before his eyes was a transparent, jelly-like, soft, fiery red, slime-like thing.
[Fire Spirit: A parasite of the dragon, an extremely special existence, neither dead nor perishable, but it can grant the host the ability to gather fire elements. (PS: Weak human, don't even think about it, if you eat it you'll be burned to death immediately.)]
"Fire Spirit?"
"Interesting. It seems the dragon's ability to breathe fire is probably thanks to this thing."
"And this 'neither dead nor perishable' ability is pretty awesome."
"Too bad it can't be a pet..."
"Who should eat it?"
Ethan turned to look at Daji, but Daji shook her head frantically, stepped back several paces, with an expression that screamed 'don't come near me'.
'Seems it's not suitable for Daji.'
Sometimes pets understand what they need better than their owners.
But thinking about it, if Daji ate it and became the host for the Fire Spirit, wouldn't she also breathe out fire from time to time like the red dragon?
And if Ethan was holding Daji while sleeping nak*d then, and she breathed out fire, wouldn't Ethan become...
'A roasted chicken?'
"Yikes!"
"No, no!"
He's still so young, he doesn't even have a girlfriend yet, how can he practice the Sunflower Manual.
But he only has three pets in total. Daji is ruled out, leaving only the White Eagle and that big mother insect.
The big mother insect has a nice name, Queen Bee.
"But that thing doesn't seem to have any special abilities apart from reproduction and command."
"Giving it the Fire Spirit to eat..."
"Would be such a waste!"
[Detected compatible spirit pets for fusion: White Eagle + Fire Spirit = Turkey]
[Fuse?]
"Turkey, my ass!"
"Shouldn't it be Fire Bird, or Fire Eagle?"
"Why Turkey!"
[A bird without feathers, isn't it just like a turkey?]
"Uh..."
'That actually makes sense.'
Ethan was both amused and exasperated, but just as he was hesitating whether to fuse it with the White Eagle, turning it into a turkey.
The Fire Spirit in the White Eagle's beak suddenly turned into a puddle of liquid at that moment and slid into the White Eagle's mouth.
"Holy crap!"
Startled, Ethan quickly reached out, trying to grab the Fire Spirit from the White Eagle's mouth.
But the moment he got close, the extremely high temperature of the Fire Spirit forced him back immediately.
The Fire Spirit successfully slipped into the White Eagle's mouth.
Ethan looked at the White Eagle before him, feeling both amused and exasperated, 'Is it really going to turn into a featherless turkey?'
He felt so panicked.
"Screech~"
The White Eagle's expression suddenly twisted.
Then its entire body, as if stimulated by something, suddenly shot upwards.
And it started flapping its huge wings frantically...
Flap! Flap!
As the White Eagle beat its wings, its feathers began to fly everywhere. Long feathers scattered like a torn feather pillow, almost filling the sky with flying feathers.
It really started losing feathers.
Ethan rested his chin on his hand, on the verge of tears.
'Life is just impossible.'
'Other people's pets get more awesome with each evolution, but my pet directly evolves into a featherless chicken. How am I supposed to deal with this!'
"Chirp!"
The White Eagle flapped desperately.
Not long after, all the feathers on its body really fell off.
It became a huge featherless chicken.
"Uh!"
Ethan facepalmed, couldn't bear to look.
And Daji also looked at the scene with panic, then shook her head, indicating she couldn't watch anymore either.
'This White Eagle has become so ugly!' (Daji)
BOOM!!
However, just after the White Eagle shed all its feathers, it suddenly went 'boom'! Every pore burst into flames.
At this moment, the White Eagle completely turned into a turkey.
A chicken on fire.
And then...
"Holy crap!"
The White Eagle was incinerated from the inside out.
His lovely big pet just turned into a pile of ashes right before his eyes, all falling onto the balcony floor.
"..."
Ethan was dumbfounded on the spot.
"This Fire Spirit is way too damn dirty, making me lose two pets at once."
'Holy crap!'
'Crap! Crap! Crap!'
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
Just as Ethan was about to explode on the spot, he suddenly heard a 'chirp chirp' sound by his ear.
That sound was exactly the
same as when the White Eagle first hatched.
Ethan was overjoyed, he quickly brushed aside the ashes and found a tiny featherless bird struggling to stand up in the ashes.
"Reborn from the flames?"
'Isn't this the ability of a phoenix?'
