Beast Tamer: I Can See Evolution Paths

Little Raven: (へ╬)

'Angry!'

'Furious!'

'What eggs or no eggs!'.

'It has nothing to do with Little Raven!'

Just as Little Raven was about to pounce onto Asher's face.

The sound of "crack crack—" suddenly echoed in the room.

In an instant.

Whether it was Asher, Little Raven, or even the Cat-Worm, their bodies all stiffened.

They all simultaneously looked towards the direction of the pet egg beneath Little Raven.

Asher met a pair of golden pupils hidden in the darkness.

Shining brightly.

Asher stared at those golden pupils, not daring to blink.

The golden pupils also stared at Asher without moving.

Little Raven and the Cat-Worm were as stiff as statues.

For a moment, the one person and three pets in the room seemed to be playing a game of "statues," where no one moved.

Time passed, and just as Asher's eyes were about to ache from staring, the little creature inside the egg finally moved—

The sound of "crack crack—" rang out again.

The little creature with golden pupils lowered its head and began nibbling on the eggshell, quickly and in small bites.

Crunchy.

Like a biscuit.

Asher blinked, and Little Raven and the Cat-Worm also leaned in.

"Is the eggshell tasty?",Asher softly asked, looking at Little Raven and the Cat-Worm beside him.

Little Raven: "?"

'...tasty?'

Mainly, it's energy-rich, providing the purest energy most suitable for the newly born beast.

Cat-Worm: "..."

"Meow..."

'Little Beauty Dragon has no eggshell to eat...'

Asher chuckled and rubbed the Cat-Worm's head,"Don't be sad, even without eating the eggshell, our Cat-Worm is still very strong, right?"

Cat-Worm: *Head up, chest out, proud*

o(^｀）o

'Exactly!'

'This Little Beauty Dragon is just that strong!'

Asher couldn't help but rub the Cat-Worm's head again.

But the Cat-Worm was only well-behaved for a short while.

Hearing the newly born creature "crack crack—" eating the eggshell, which seemed very delicious, the already gluttonous Cat-Worm couldn't help but drool.

(﹃)

'Hehehe.'

'Dragon, wants to eat.'

After all, everyone is a dragon-type beast, practically family.

Letting Little Beauty Dragon have a bite shouldn't be a big deal, right?

No sooner said than done.

The Cat-Worm craned its neck and suddenly thrust its head towards the eggshell, opening its mouth to grab a piece to taste.

"Pa—"

Before the Cat-Worm could get close, a long, glowing white thing suddenly sprang out, accurately hitting the Cat-Worm's head.

Cat-Worm: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

'What happened?'

Quickly realizing it had been hit, the Cat-Worm instantly bristled... no, its scales stood on end.

"Meow! Meow!"

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

"Meow! Meow!"

'Hitting a dragon?'

'How dare!'

'Prepare to die!'

The Cat-Worm angrily pounced.

The little creature, having just eaten three-quarters of the eggshell, was not to be outdone.

'Fighting?'

"Rawr—"

Perhaps because the little creature had just hatched, its milky cry seemed more for show, lacking any real meaning.

Though milky, it was fierce.

Before Asher could react, the Cat-Worm and the newly born creature were already tangled up in a fight.

Asher: "..."

Little Raven had already, at some point, freed itself from Asher's grasp, standing gracefully at a distance, occasionally glancing at the fight between the Cat-Worm and the new family member while preening its feathers with its beak.

Little Raven: 'As the big sister, the bird is as lonely as snow!'

(￣(∞)￣)

'Sigh!'

'Indeed, the bird is the most reliable in this family!'

'Without the bird, what would the beastmaster and the little brother do!'

'Might as well go out and drink the northwest wind!'

'Lonely.'

'Just so invincible and...'

"Pa—"

Before Little Raven could finish its thoughts, the battlefield between the Cat-Worm and the new family member accidentally expanded, involving Little Raven, who was quietly watching.

Seeing its feathers, though not fallen, had been rubbed roughly against scales by the little creature, losing their previous luster, and then being stepped on by the Cat-Worm, Little Raven... Little Raven went berserk.

凸（｀0）凸

"Chirp! Chirp!"

'If the big sister Little Raven doesn't act, can't even establish her position in the family, right?'

'Damn it!'

'Big sister Little Raven must assert herself today!'

Boom—

Crack—

Crash—

Asher sat dumbfounded on the bed, watching the three little creatures inexplicably tangle up in a fight.

Not using any skills.

Just punching and kicking.

Using wings to kick.

Using dragon horns to butt.

Using long bodies to tie knots.

Asher: "..."

"Little Raven!"

"Cat-Worm!"

Looking at the pillow torn open revealing cotton, the slashed quilt cover, the shattered glass, the broken vase... Asher finally snapped out of it and hurriedly stopped the commotion.

Little Raven and the Cat-Worm: "..."

Reluctantly.

But as the well-behaved first and second treasures, they are of course the obedient and lovely pets of the beastmaster.

WHOOSH—

Little Raven and the Cat-Worm returned to Asher's side.

One perched on Asher's shoulder, the other leaped into Asher's arms.

The little creature, panting heavily from exhaustion: "?"

The little creature turned its head towards Asher, and this time Asher finally got a clear look at the little creature's appearance.

'Dragon-type beast...?'

Not that Asher wanted to doubt.

'But this looks... just like an ordinary little snake!'

The fine scales looked pearly at first glance, but under the light, they reflected a special iridescent effect.

"I've seen iridescent black, so is this iridescent white?"

Asher glanced at the little creature, then turned to look at Little Raven beside him.

'Hmm...'

'It somewhat recalls the first time I saw Little Raven!'

Although not long ago, Little Raven's overall appearance has changed quite a bit after evolution.

Those unaware or not familiar with beasts wouldn't immediately associate the current Little Raven with the Oriental Peacock, as the difference in appearance is quite significant.

Little Raven tilted its head.

Asher pulled Little Raven down from his shoulder and into his arms, stroking Little Raven's feathers while continuing to examine the newly born little creature.

The pupil color was the golden pupils Asher had seen earlier.

Vivid in color, paired with pearly scales, Asher felt for the first time that a cold-blooded creature like a snake could look somewhat cute.

If it didn't move.

One might even mistake it for an expensive, finely crafted handmade ornament.

Definitely not something you could get for less than six figures.

But no matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a dragon-type beast.

Not to mention Asher had already identified its species—Jade Silver Snake.

Dragon species.

Related to dragon-type beasts, but actually not much connected to the dragon attribute.

Asher: "?"

'Can Flood Dragon University even get the species of beasts inside pet eggs wrong?'

Asher was puzzled.

Asher was shocked.

"But it must be said... the adult form of the Jade Silver Snake does somewhat resemble a dragon."

'Just with two heads, not as cute as this little one.'

Thinking about it, Asher opened his talent skill to take a look at the little white snake.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Asher was a bit surprised, yet... not that surprised.

A snake evolving into a dragon isn't that hard to understand, right?

Asher skipped the original evolution path of the Jade Silver Snake and clicked to view the evolution path of the Silver Dragon Emperor.

Then—

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Asher: "..."

'Dragon-type skills?'

'Dragon-type skills again?'

Asher thought of the Cat-Worm, then looked at the Jade Silver Snake before him, pondering... is he just destined to clash with dragon-type attributes?

Luckily, he's about to head to Dragon Valley, where there's a good chance to snag some dragon-type skills.

Otherwise, Asher might really worry himself bald.

Although it will take some time for the Jade Silver Snake to evolve into a White Jade Dragon, Asher is curious about the conditions needed to evolve from White Jade Dragon to Silver Dragon Emperor.

He curiously continued to look.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Asher: "?"

Unlike before, question marks now filled Asher's entire face.

Some of the conditions are a bit outrageous and difficult, but Asher feels that with some effort, they're not impossible.

But the last one, Dragon Slayer, with a quantity marked by a question mark...'isn't that a bit too much?'

"Little White Snake...?",Asher softly called out to the Jade Silver Snake.

The Jade Silver Snake tilted its head, looking at Asher with its golden pupils, as if not realizing Asher was calling it.

Its newborn brain wasn't that sharp.

Its gaze at Asher was filled with caution and scrutiny.

The Jade Silver Snake also looked at Little Raven and the Cat-Worm beside Asher.

Seeing the little white snake motionless, Asher thought for a moment, then took out a... cat stick from the system, something he had won in a previous lottery.

For bar-shaped packaged food, Asher collectively calls them cat sticks.

This one is flavored for dragon-type pets.

The Cat-Worm used to love it.

Most of what Asher had drawn went into the Cat-Worm's stomach.

You could say there's nothing in this world that the Cat-Worm wouldn't eat.

Asher opened the dragon stick and offered it towards the little white snake.

The little white snake... no, the Jade Silver Snake, although a water-type beast, being a dragon species and capable of evolving into a dragon-type beast, should be quite interested in this flavor, right?

The little white snake, which had just been scrutinizing Asher, seemed to catch a whiff of something delicious, something that made its snake senses tingle with appetite. It instantly perked up, wriggling its body awkwardly as it made its way towards Asher.

And then...

The little white snake, which had just been trading blows with Little Raven and the Cat-Worm, occasionally tripping them up with its tail, managed to twist itself into a tizzy.

Jade Silver Snake: *Can fight, but can't walk!*

Asher: "..."

'What kind of warmonger is this?'

"aowww—"

The little white snake let out a milky cry with no real meaning, its golden pupils watery as it looked at Asher, completely devoid of the fierceness it had inside the eggshell. Asher, distracted for a moment, saw the little white snake suddenly open its mouth, revealing two sharp fangs.

The sharp little milk teeth bit down, taking a bite out of the packaging along with the food

Wriggle! Wriggle!

Asher: "..."

Little Raven: Σ(°△°|||)

Cat-Worm: w(°ｏ°)w

'This new little brother... seems a bit off in the head?'

The Cat-Worm and Little Raven snuggled closer to Asher, as if afraid the little white snake might hear, they whispered into Asher's ear.

Asher used his only free hand to pat the heads of Little Raven and the Cat-Worm in turn.

"The little white snake has just been born, it's normal not to know how to eat a cat stick.",Saying this, Asher glanced again at the little white snake, which after taking a bite, looked happy but also a bit confused and frustrated.

The little white snake lay flat on the bed, wriggling a couple of times.

Its long, pink tongue flicked out and then back in.

'A taste that's both delicious and not?'

Little white snake: (O_o)??

'Can't understand.'

"That's not how you eat it.",Asher used both hands to squeeze out the contents of the dragon stick.

Thinking about it, Asher decided to take a gamble, holding the squeezed-out food in his palm and offering it towards the little white snake,"Don't bite, lick the food off, gently and slowly."

It's okay for a young one to be ignorant.

As long as it's obedient.

Using food to tame a pet is always the best method.

The little white snake hesitated for a second, then decisively extended its long, pink tongue, curling it up to lick away all the food from Asher's hand.

The force... wasn't too heavy.

But Asher still felt the little white snake's tongue barbs scrape across his palm, a bit prickly and painful, but within bearable limits, leaving his palm slightly numb and red.

For a little white snake that could gnaw on eggshells right after birth and had sharp little milk teeth, Asher believed this was as gentle as it could get.

Truly a dragon species.

The snake-type dragon species carries a fierceness unlike ordinary snake creatures.

The ecology of beasts is beyond normal comprehension.

"Tasty? there's more.",Asher smiled, using a tempting tone.

The little white snake's golden pupils instantly lit up.
