Chapter 139 The Price of Evolution

Monday evolved, at a somewhat high cost.

It does not refer to the consumption of the Philosopher's Stone, but to the necessary sacrifices it made in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone from Tuesday.

Want the Philosopher's Stone from Tuesday?
Well, it’s Mu Hua’s fault for preferring Tuesday now.

Tuesday's evolution requires a lot of Philosopher's Stones, but no matter how many there are, there will always be a process of accumulation, right?

The Philosopher's Stones in Mu Hua's hand are not enough for Tuesday to evolve, so he will save them. Anyway, Tuesday doesn't want Mu Hua to feed the Philosopher's Stones to Monday.

It would have been fine if Zhou Yi didn’t know that Mu Hua had the Philosopher’s Stone.

But who could have told him that when he was fighting the Minotaur, Mu Hua wanted to evolve Monday, in order to see if the dog could bite the Minotaur after evolution.

Although the Minotaur was finally defeated with the help of the Bone Soul, the clever little Monday also had his eyes on the Philosopher's Stone.

Monday wants to evolve, Tuesday strongly opposes it.

Eight hundred Philosopher's Stones, and if she saves another seven or eight hundred, it will be enough for her to evolve into the 'Sadistic Lady'. Tuesday kept a close eye on Mu Hua's Philosopher's Stone.

Zhou Er not only cried in front of Mu Hua, but also cried from time to time while squatting in Mu Hua's body. While helping Mu Hua to strengthen his soul, he cried and complained about his grievances.

Tuesday understood Mu Hua's temper and didn't make any noise or quarrel. He just acted obedient and aggrieved. This made Mu Hua feel embarrassed to give the Philosopher's Stone to Monday in a rude manner.

Compared to Tuesday, the clever little Monday was just jumping up and down all the time. While Mu Hua was trying to persuade Tuesday, he was also trying to teach Monday to please Tuesday with a sense of disappointment.

In the end, perhaps because he was afraid of angering Mu Hua, Tuesday made concessions.

The tortured lady exposed her tender white feet in front of the hellhound.

"You want the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Lick it for me!"

Well, what is Monday? A hellhound that's after Cerberus, a bully from hell, a filthy undead that wants us to lick her feet! ?

Zhou Yi was a bit stubborn, but he would never submit to such humiliation.

By this Monday, I was depressed and lay on the Abyss Island all day long.

Of course, through the perception of his family's soul, Mu Hua helplessly discovered that while Monday was depressed, he was always thinking:

'How to circumvent the master's order not to hurt each other, how to find loopholes in the master's order, and then kill Tuesday.'

As expected, demons are demons, even those cunning and treacherous demons, their way of thinking is completely different from that of ruffians and scoundrels, they really would rather use knives than make a fuss. . .

Seeing the fire in the backyard, the two family members were about to face a life-and-death situation.

Mu Hua had no choice but to secretly reveal to Monday that the 'sadistic lady' who evolved on Tuesday should be considered a demon baron with special talents.

Originally it was just to comfort Monday, and surprisingly, this change of perspective really worked for Monday.

You can't lick the feet of the undead, but licking the feet of a demon doesn't seem so humiliating? Especially if it's a female demon.

Well, maybe it's because there's just no way to kill Tuesday safely.

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. Come, let the dog lick your feet!

At this point, I don’t know if Monday had a mental breakdown or what, but he was very well behaved in front of Tuesday and even didn’t refuse Tuesday’s request to use him as a mount.

Eight hundred philosopher's stones were swallowed into his stomach, and a living hellhound was born. Although it seemed that he had lost some moral integrity, Monday was one step closer to the evolution of Cerberus.

Name: Monday, Race: Demon, Level 87
Life: 98%
Magic: 83%
Constitution: 376
Intelligence: 300
Spirit: 200
Magic adaptability: A
Allocable points: 22
Talents: Advanced Fire Element Affinity, Flame Breath, Soul Devouring, Fiery Frenzy.

Skills: Bite LV30, Fireball LV3, Vermillion Nova LV1, Lightning Bolt LV1, Gravel Bomb LV1, Magical Protection LV7, (several low-level curses).

Monday's attributes have increased a lot, but as a newborn hellhound, the most outstanding thing is the growth of intelligence and spirit.

Magic adaptability is improved, affinity with fire element is improved, and the weak breath is transformed into a breath of fire that is linked to the strength of its own magic power. The Hellhound has more comprehensive growth potential than the Hellhound.

And Monday's status, when placed among the hellhounds, is even just the attributes of a "puppy".

Mu Hua looked at the dog squatting beside him sweeping the snake's tail. Even if he stopped evolving, this guy still had a lot of room for natural growth.

But from now on, Tuesday will probably step on his head, and Monday's status in Mu Hua's family will plummet.

The two horns on Monday's neck, which were either devil horns or bone spurs, seemed to turn into a head when it evolved again. If it wanted to evolve safely into a two-headed hellhound, the number of philosopher's stones it needed would reach 8,000, which was an extremely large span.

The Cerberus lineage is quite notorious in Hell, and perhaps after evolving again, they will be able to demonstrate combat power that is more in line with their notoriety.

"Mu, would you like a leather armor or a robe?" Mu Hua and Taibetha were alert to their surroundings. Pine waved at Mu Hua while holding two pieces of equipment.

He raised his hand to take the robe handed to him by Pine, cast a purification spell to clean it, and put it on. Gravichi and others also piled up their harvest from the battlefield aside.

Spider Silk Robe: Weak impact resistance, Intelligence +3, improves the wearer's concentration, low-level earth element resistance, weak fire.

A low-level equipment with average attributes.

Impact means force, and weak impact resistance can offset forces below 100. Physical attacks without power naturally cannot destroy this robe, so it can be generally understood as defense.

Weak Fire means that this robe is afraid of fire and can be easily burned and destroyed by magical flames.

As for the low-level earth element resistance, it was quite embarrassing. Element resistance generally refers to the resistance to elemental erosion. Because it emphasizes defense shaping and physical attack, let alone low-level, mid-level and even high-level earth magic, most of them have no elemental erosion at all.

However, it seemed like too much to expect a silk robe with weak impact resistance to have any physical resistance.

For Mu Hua, this spider silk robe is just a piece of clothing to cover the body. At most, it can help to refresh the mind.

"Crash!" Mark held a pile of metal weapons and piled them aside, while Pine used a piece of animal skin to bring back a lot of magic ore and some gold and silver coins.

"I was worried that we would lose money on this trip. If I had known earlier, we should have prepared level 3 exorcism bullets." Mark smiled at Mu Hua.

"Here, a nice dagger. It should be the style that necromancers like." Gravizi put a bag of magic stones aside and handed a whale harpoon of nearly 40 centimeters to Mu Hua, saying half-jokingly.

The entirely black dagger comes with a level 5 magic stone, which was dropped by the shadow demon earlier.

Although Gravizi and Taibetha agreed on a 20% distribution of the spoils, Mu Hua's combat power was a bit over the limit, and the dangerous shadow demon was killed by Mu Hua alone, so Gravizi consciously did not include it in the shared drops.

If Gravizi and others still had a cooperative attitude at the beginning, after seeing the fighting power displayed by Mu Hua, they obviously put themselves completely in the position of assisting in the battle.

Mu Hua took the dagger that looked like a small machete.

Sulfur Dagger: Durability 500, Armor Penetration 300, restrains killing intent, adds fire poison, causes bleeding damage, and disrupts the injured person's water magic casting.

There is no need to say much about the rest. Solidity and armor-piercing are opposites. As for sharpness? For high-quality equipment, sharpness is honed. The maintenance of the weapon's blade and the ability of the user determine their power.

A direct attack weapon suitable for assassination, not very resistant to confrontation. Although its strength is low, its ability to disrupt water magic makes it unquestionably classified as high-level equipment.

These weapons can have significant attack effects under special circumstances, and are usually classified as special weapons. The price of special weapons fluctuates greatly, and they are suitable for collection and for sale.

Mu Hua raised his dagger and asked the people around him, "Anyone wants it?"

"I'm sorry, but if I had shot the shadow demon just now, I would have considered lending a hand." Kaili, who has a lower presence among the group and is usually taciturn, shook his head and said.

"Woo~" Zhou Yi, who was squatting on the side, made a dissatisfied grumble in his throat.

Kerry subconsciously took a few steps back. Except for Mu Hua and Tabitha, Gravichi and the others were obviously on guard.

Today's Monday, just from its size, is far more intimidating than the hellhound.

The bulging muscles looked like they were carved from lava, the paws were two times larger than a human face and looked more like a tiger than a dog, and the contracted nails had already formed the shape of claws, which were black and thick, like sharp hooks.

This is not just a big dog, this is a real devil.

Among the demons, hellhounds are notoriously aggressive, and at this time, Monday didn't even bother to talk to Gravichi and his companions.

"Hehe, if you want to hurt that shadow demon, you need to change to level six exorcism bullets. I'll give it to you at half price. Do you want it?" Mu Hua said with a smile and patted Zhou Yi's head while speaking.

This action, which was hard to tell whether it was a scolding or a compliment, made Gravizi and the others look strange, but thinking of the devil's arrogance, they would not misjudge Mu Hua's intentions.

In the eyes of several people, the squatting demon is just a trick, and they also lack a clear understanding of the concept of followers.

"Haha, Mu, take it. He can't afford it even at half price. Carey just got divorced." Mark put his arm around Carey's neck and laughed, causing him to elbow him in retaliation.

Even in this world, even for Loren, most of the time, divorce is associated with 'becoming poor' for men.

It is not uncommon for a man to get divorced after becoming poor, and it is also not uncommon for a man to become poor after getting divorced. But if you become poor for this reason, don't ask for help.

Mu Hua looked at Kaili who was in a bad mood, shook his head, and put the sulfur dagger into his pocket.
