Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel

Some time later, led by the Firefeather Crow, Ye Mo, with Bai Ling slung over his shoulder, arrived at a place the Firefeather Crow had mentioned: a depression within the hills.

Stepping into this area, Ye Mo immediately felt a chilling aura, and the energy here was extremely thin, making him uncomfortable.

The surroundings were completely desolate, with only sparse patches of weeds and withered trees scattered about.

The air here was filled with a deathly aura that lingered, causing a deep-seated unease.

Slightly worried, Ye Mo glanced behind him. The Rock Spirit Giant Hound was by his side, and the ice-blue energy on the Ice Crystal Shield Turtle's shell surged constantly, ready for defense. There was also the Azure Vine Giant Serpent, its vertical pupils open, coldly observing the surroundings.

Seeing this, Ye Mo's heart steadied, and he calmly walked further inside.

The entire depression wasn't large, but it wasn't small either. From the entrance to the opposite stone wall was about a thousand meters, and the width, at first glance, was about seven or eight hundred meters at its widest point.

As he walked further in, the doubts in Ye Mo's heart grew.

From what he had seen along the way, there was no explanation for why the energy here was so thin and filled with a deathly aura, when outside the depression, it was a normal mountain forest.

Filled with confusion, Ye Mo went deeper and deeper. When he reached a stagnant pool of filthy water, he sighed softly, a look of disappointment on his face.

This was the place with the most concentrated deathly aura in the entire valley, but it didn't meet the requirements for Bai You's class change. What a pity.

Seeing this, Ye Mo was filled with emotion. If the energy here were sufficient, and these deathly auras were removed, this depression would surely be a beautiful place.

After a brief moment of reflection, Ye Mo was about to turn his head to find the reason for the thin energy here when, among the withered trees by the pool, one withered tree suddenly shook its branches.

But at this moment, the breeze had already passed.

Seeing this, Ye Mo suddenly turned his head, frowning as he looked at the row of withered trees by the pool.

Just as he was about to activate his exploration, the small withered tree opposite him shook gently again. This time, Ye Mo saw clearly that the shaking was definitely the tree moving on its own.

Immediately, exploration was activated, and a panel appeared in his mind, filling him with surprise.

【Spirit Willow Tree】

Race Level: Elite First Grade (Level 21)

Special Evolution: Thousand Vine Spirit Willow (Lord Level)…

Potential Evolution: Potential Limit Reached.

Evaluation: An ordinary spirit plant, a willow tree, gained sentience two years ago and transformed into a demonic plant. It possesses outstanding talent, but its basic potential is too low. It has attempted to evolve twice, but both times it failed due to environmental factors.

“Hiss—” After seeing the attributes panel of this withered willow, Ye Mo couldn't help but gasp, inhaling a mouthful of cold air filled with the aura of death.

This was actually a demonic plant with sentience, a demonic plant transformed from an ordinary spirit willow.

This was too rare. You had to know that demonic plants were different from those plant-type demonic creatures. The latter were similar to ordinary demonic creatures, possessing simple sentience from birth, while the former, without the guidance of elders or strong individuals, could only rely on luck to gain sentience, making them extremely rare.

The range of demonic plant births was very wide. As long as it was a plant, whether it was a common tree in the forest, a Thunderous Giant Tree, or a rare spirit plant among heavenly treasures, it was possible for it to gain sentience and become a demonic plant.

And demonic plants had many advantages. Most of them didn't need to fight to cultivate. As long as they had a territory, they could eventually cultivate to the upper limit of their race level over time, although this process was a bit long.

But demonic plants also had many disadvantages. Most demonic plants couldn't move before they had cultivated to a certain realm.

For example, the willow tree in front of Ye Mo, who knew how lucky it was to gain sentience. Unfortunately, this was a place of spiritual deprivation, and the aura of death was extremely incompatible with its own attributes. It was already a miracle among miracles that it could cultivate to this level.

With a mere Elite First Grade race level, it had directly crossed a major rank to become a Level 39 existence in this place. It was truly unbelievable.

Moreover, what shocked Ye Mo the most was that this willow tree had actually successfully found a path of special evolution, the evolution path of the Lord-level Thousand Vine Spirit Willow, based solely on its own perception.

According to his exploration, it had already completed all the requirements for evolving into a Thousand Vine Spirit Willow. It could be said that it was only one step away from evolution, but this one step was like a chasm that it couldn't cross.

Because this requirement was something that almost all spirit pets needed to evolve, but something that wouldn't be specially prepared: enough energy.

If it were outside the depression, the energy contained in the air would be enough for this spirit willow tree to successfully evolve. Even if its state was a bit worse after evolution, it could recover to its best state after resting and replenishing enough energy.

But it was different here. The energy in this place was too scarce. Just maintaining this demonic plant's survival until now was already hard to imagine, let alone accumulating enough energy to evolve. It would be better to pray that the energy concentration here would return to normal.

Besides these, what also shocked Ye Mo was its skills. That perfect-level high-level skill was actually a skill that it had raised to the high level by breaking its limit.

This was the first time he had seen a transcendent being other than his own spirit pet possessing a limit-broken skill.

“Huff—” Taking a deep breath, Ye Mo signaled to the several Lord-level demonic beasts beside him, then walked around the turbid pool, past the dead willow trees, and came to the spirit willow tree with sentience.

He had carefully examined its skills. It didn't have a single amplification-type skill, and it only had one combat-type skill that seemed to be an awakened elementary skill. Coupled with its extremely poor condition, its threat level could be said to be extremely low.

Looking at the willow tree in front of him, which was only about two meters tall, its trunk and branches appeared unusually dry and fragile, as if they would break with a gentle snap. As for leaves, they had probably fallen off long ago, and now, at a glance, it was completely bare.

No, that's not right. Ye Mo suddenly saw a tiny sprout quietly blooming on the side of this withered willow tree. Unfortunately, the willow tree was in such poor condition that the sprout's color was almost the same as the tree trunk.

What a pity. Seeing this situation, Ye Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, perhaps sensing their arrival, the trunk of the spirit willow tree trembled slightly again. At the same time, the trace of energy accumulated within its body over several months burned once more, and the spiritual light of evolution surged forth.

It's actually starting to evolve? Ye Mo was shocked. This was definitely not a good opportunity for evolution! Why evolve now? In its current state, how could it possibly succeed in evolving without replenishing its losses?

The spiritual light flickered faintly. Although it was the light of evolution, its brightness was the dimmest Ye Mo had ever seen.

On the withered trunk, the scorched yellow sprout continuously emitted the aura of life, as if it were about to give birth to life. At the same time, as the evolution progressed, intense mental fluctuations surged out, and Ye Mo and the other demon beasts clearly felt a weak vitality and a strong desire to survive.

After a dozen seconds passed, the spiritual light of evolution gradually dimmed. The spirit willow tree, whose life force was already weak, suffered another heavy blow. However, its tenacious mental strength continued to surge, desperately squeezing every last bit of power within its body, so that the spiritual light of evolution still did not extinguish.

"Alas, this is too difficult." Seeing this, Ye Mo felt a sense of emotion. Clearly in a desperate situation, with no hope, it was still trying to defy fate. Even in its current state, it was still gambling its life for that glimmer of hope.

The contract space opened, and tier-2 and tier-3 wood-attribute spirit crystals flew out from within. Also flying out were life potions and recovery potions that he had personally concocted. Ye Mo placed these one by one next to the spirit willow tree.

When the spirit crystals and potions containing a large amount of energy appeared around it, the spirit willow tree's withered branches instantly flew over, entangling each of the spirit crystals and potions. Without the slightest hesitation, a large amount of wood-attribute energy and life energy were continuously absorbed by the withered branches. The green spirit crystals became increasingly dim, and the vials of potions were continuously drained.

With the help of these resources, although it would be difficult for it to evolve in its current state, preserving its life should still be possible, Ye Mo thought to himself.

After thinking about it, Ye Mo continued to look at the spirit willow tree, which was struggling to survive, and a thought emerged in his mind.

Should I take it as a spirit pet? With his current resources and strength, as well as the existence of the Talent Game System, the potential of a spirit pet, although important to him, was far less important than it was to other Beast Tamers.

Even if this willow tree's potential was only of the Elite race, and it would only be an unremarkable Ordinary Lord race after evolution, these things were nothing to Ye Mo.

As long as he was willing, he could spend enough wealth and resources to turn it into a powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo was somewhat tempted. This demon plant, whether it was its determination to defy the heavens, its tenacious spirit, or its powerful talent for comprehending skills, all met his requirements for a contracted spirit pet.

Besides, he had two star charts, a total of twelve contract slots. Currently, he had only contracted three spirit pets. There were plenty of slots, and contracting one more spirit pet would not be a problem.

Moreover, according to his master, the number of contracted stars within the star chart would increase as his strength increased in the future. If he wasn't mistaken, he could even contract eighteen spirit pets in the end.

Thinking of this, Ye Mo's mood improved a lot. He had considered contracting a new spirit pet some time ago, but none of the level 30+ spirit pets he had seen, even those with Monarch potential, had impressed him.

Now that he had finally found a spirit pet that met his requirements, he definitely couldn't let it go.

Time slowly passed. After another twenty or thirty seconds, Ye Mo nodded secretly as he watched the spirit willow tree, which was constantly absorbing spirit crystals and potions and whose life force had stabilized. Very good, relying on these spirit crystals and potions to restore its energy, thereby minimizing the negative impact of this failed evolution as much as possible.

Afterward, he could have a good talk with it to see if it was willing to become his spirit pet. If it was willing, he would take it away from here and then find a way to replenish its origin so that it could successfully evolve.

If it wasn't willing, he would still find a way to take it away from here, but then it would be up to it.

Of course, if he took it out, Ye Mo would naturally ask for its opinion. If it didn't want any of that, then he would let it live or die on its own.

After thinking about it, Ye Mo looked at the willow tree in front of him with a smile, waiting for it to cancel the evolution.

Time slowly passed, and the spirit willow tree's aura became more and more stable, but its next actions were completely different from what Ye Mo had expected.

The dim spiritual light on its body, which represented evolution, suddenly shone brightly. The energy recovered from the spirit crystals and potions was continuously burned, transforming into streams of power, impacting the bottleneck of evolution.

Perhaps it was because it had obtained unimaginable energy by relying on the spirit crystals, but this evolution of the spirit willow tree could be said to have burned everything, even consuming its life force and mental strength in large quantities.

If this evolution failed, it would definitely severely damage its roots. Afterward, it would either fall into slumber and quietly wait for death, or die on the spot, with its life origin and spiritual sea shattering together.

Seeing this scene, Ye Mo's expression changed drastically. The contract space instantly opened, and some resources and spirit crystals containing life force were continuously thrown out by him.

He had finally found a suitable spirit pet, and he would never allow it to die here!

The spiritual light of evolution became brighter and brighter, but the aura of the spirit willow tree, which was the target of evolution, became smaller and smaller.

As for the resources thrown out by Ye Mo, because the other party's evolution was already in its final stage, these resources were all blocked from entering and fell haphazardly onto the soil.

Damn it! Gritting his teeth, Ye Mo's expression was ugly. He didn't expect it to be like this. He clearly only wanted to replenish the other party's state so that the impact of the failed evolution would be minimized.

But it regarded that energy as its only hope, even if it meant falling here, it still had to gamble for that glimmer of hope for evolution.

The more Ye Mo thought about it, the more complicated he felt. The other party's condition was already extremely poor, and the strength of its three basic origins had decreased to an unimaginable extent. Even with the determination to die, the possibility of a successful evolution was minimal.

Now, he could only hope that it wouldn't die immediately, and that it would be fine even if it entered a state of slumber afterward.

Just as Ye Mo was feeling down and thinking this way, Bai Ling on his shoulder stretched out its small paw and poked his cheek.

"Meow!" Look!

What? Following Bai Ling's call, Ye Mo raised his head and looked. The spirit willow tree in front of him, which was emitting a bright light, slowly grew larger, and the withered trunk on its body began to become vibrant again.

This is… a successful evolution?
