Then, CoCo evolved…
It was unclear whether the baijiu accelerated the digestion of the异种珠 (Yi Zhong Zhu) or if the radiation and amplifier changed the energy surge.
In an instant, CoCo leaped across two tiers, upgrading to Tier Seven.
It transformed into a fireball and ascended into the sky, spreading its wings towards the sea and flying away…
…
Plop!
CoCo let out another burp, and its golden body instantly shrunk.
A round, chubby, tiny body landed in An Nuan’s palm, settling down with a plop.
Before, it was a normal parrot.
Now, it was like a little roly-poly, with a round, large bottom. The crest on its small head and the golden fluff around its neck were fiery.
An Nuan touched the flames with her finger.
It was still warm, without any burning sensation.
"I never expected our CoCo to be so powerful after upgrading!"
CoCo’s eyes sparkled with gold.
"CoCo is super powerful, CoCo is a big bird now!"
"It's a golden phoenix!"
"Phoenix, hehe, CoCo is a phoenix!"
CoCo flapped its wings.
Its small wings trembled precariously, less than half the size of its head, making it look even more endearingly clumsy.
Who would have thought that such a clumsy little pet was just a golden phoenix?
An Nuan gave CoCo a big kiss.
"We have to celebrate today! To celebrate CoCo’s upgrade, I’ll catch insects for you myself!"
Gui Tian: "Don't celebrate yet, look over here!"
Gui Tian pointed towards the sea surface.
Densely packed large heads emerged from the water.
Several sharks slowly approached the shore, but fearing they would run aground, they stayed in the water a distance from the beach.
Fu Yunting: "Your boss is dead, do you still want to fight?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstand, we are not here to fight."
Two great white sharks moved closer: "We are here to express our gratitude."
An Nuan and Fu Yunting were a little bewildered.
Apologize?
I killed your boss, and you've come to thank me?
It didn't quite add up.
"We were almost eaten by the Nine-headed Shark just now, and you saved us. We want to express our thanks."
After speaking, they spat out some lively seafood from their mouths.
It was fresh, but a bit hard to swallow…
The great white sharks, leading the shark clan, obediently lowered their heads.
"From now on, you are our leaders. We are willing to follow your commands. We hope you will not hold grudges and will not despise us."
An Nuan was confused.
Did all creatures nowadays have a masochistic tendency?
They so easily developed strange emotions towards those who beat them.
An Nuan didn't understand their thoughts anyway.
But if others eagerly offered to become subordinates, what reason did she have to refuse?
An Nuan cleared her throat: "Then from now on, you will listen to Gui Tian and Yun Man, and get along well with them."
"That's great, thank you! What should we do now?"
"Let us do something. We made such a mess of your territory, we feel quite embarrassed, so let us do something to compensate."
Good heavens, they were eager to get to work on their first day on the job.
Truly excellent employees!
An Nuan: "Then organize yourselves and be responsible for cleaning up this sea area. Collect all the bodies and remains. These are precious food and experimental materials, not to be wasted."
"Understood, leave it to us!"
The great white sharks led their clan into the depths of the sea.
They were very fast and could store things in their mouths, making them perfectly suited for this task.
Gui Tian also rallied her clan to clean up the marine debris.
An Nuan stroked CoCo’s head and said, "It seems I can't casually eat seafood anymore. I might end up eating my own companions."
"Eat bugs, stone worms are delicious, I'll share with you!"
"Heh heh, thank you, you should keep them for yourself. Eat more…"
Yun Man saw movement in the distance: "Xiao Nuan, it looks like a lot of people are coming."
"Zhai Yan, take the lickdogs and go first."
As a spy, the lickdogs had not yet appeared among the human population.
If their existence were to be publicized, it would become difficult in the future, and it would also affect the safety of the lickdogs.
It was better to keep them hidden for now.
Zhai Yan picked up Yang Yang and, pulling the lickdogs, retreated underground.
Several large zombies also left the beach.
The crowd swarmed in, and Fu Yunting roared in a low voice: "Stop!"
Everyone felt a terrifying chill. Their primal instincts made them feel intense fear, and they stopped fifty meters away from the group.
The entire crowd was silent, quietly looking at Fu Yunting.
The man swallowed, forcing himself to calm down:
"We came because we saw the phoenix, that really was a phoenix just now, wasn't it?"
"Are you talking about this?"
An Nuan held CoCo up with both hands.
The crowd erupted in excited gasps.
"Wow, it really is a phoenix!"
"That one from just now? Why is it so small?"
"It's not an adult yet, is it? Even if it's not an adult, it's already very powerful. It'll be legendary when it grows up!"
"Was that a dragon? I didn't notice it before, it must be a dragon!"
Xiao Yu was very spirited. Although it was a snake, it was extremely beautiful.
After evolving, its body was coated in a lustrous black, making it even more stunning.
Now, its wings also had a thin layer of gold.
If you called it a snake, ordinary people wouldn't believe it.
Even if it were a snake, it definitely wouldn't be an ordinary snake.
It was the kind that could make one's heart flutter~~
"It's a young dragon snake and a phoenix, so cute!"
"The divine beasts have recognized their masters, I want to recognize a master too!"
"Can you compare yourself to a divine beast? Being an auxiliary member would be great!"
"I don't care, I want to die in this city!"
The sea churned with waves, as sharks and whales leaped and flipped, forming arches.
The sprayed water, under the sunlight, turned into rainbow colors.
Hundreds of rainbows created a mesmerizing beauty.
The crowd began to stir, and rows of people knelt down, prostrating themselves before them.
"A miracle, it's absolutely a miracle!"
"It's so good to be able to live alongside the chosen one!"
"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving birth to me. From now on, I am your loyal servant!"
"God, accept my worship!"
An Nuan's skin crawled.
God, please take these chuunibyou idiots away.
Listen to what they're saying, it's so idiotic!
An Nuan twitched her lips and raised her hand, wanting them to stop.
Someone exclaimed, "The deity is speaking to me! Whatever your command, we will carry it out. Your wish is our reason for living."
An Nuan: …
Can't you act normal?
Dare you send some normal people over?
Fu Yunting: "Move aside."
The crowd immediately parted, forming a pathway and standing silently on both sides.
Fu Yunting: "Alright, let's get in the car and go home."
An Nuan got into the car. As she started the engine, the leader suddenly shouted, "Farewell, divine envoys!"
"We bid farewell to the divine envoys!"
An Nuan curled up, burying her head in her knees.
Embarrassed, so incredibly embarrassed.
