Following this group of Midwife Spiders, it would be only a matter of time before his cover was blown.
Seeing the number of Demons around him gradually increasing, Xiao Jie decisively darted into a side path at a fork in the road.
Phantom Spirit Pearl—transform!
He had originally thought he could transform into a Demon guard, but unexpectedly, he was stunned.
He now had a wolf’s head, horns like an ox on his head, an eagle’s wings on his back, and his body was covered in scales like a Jiao Long.
He saw the name above his head—Demon Evolver?
Footsteps came from behind, and when he turned around, he saw a group of Midwife Spiders escorting a Tiger-headed Demon Evolver.
"Hiss hiss hiss, Evolver, why are you here alone? Come with us, a great mission awaits you."
Xiao Jie was momentarily speechless and could only follow them with a stiff expression.
They headed upwards, and soon arrived at the entrance of a special cavern.
This cavern was evidently of greater importance, as it was guarded by a row of Human-headed Dog Demons.
"Hiss hiss hiss, quickly go in, Evolver, a great mission awaits you."
Xiao Jie could only follow the Tiger-headed Demon inside. A glance at the map showed it was labeled as [Evolution].
Inside the cavern, several other Demon Evolvers were already waiting, including the Black Death he had seen before.
There were a total of nine Demon Evolvers, each looking incomparably fierce, undoubtedly the new elite among Demons.
Xiao Jie felt uneasy. With so many Elite Monsters around, if he were discovered, he would be in great danger.
What could this great gift be? With so many Demon Evolvers gathered here, could it be some kind of ceremony?
He surveyed his surroundings and noticed that the walls were covered in vein-like patterns. From above the cavern, vine-like tendrils hung down, writhing as if they were living veins.
Just as Xiao Jie was puzzled, a voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
Mysterious Voice: All things have their destiny, be it life and death without a name, be they blade, fish, or feasting on all beings. Your destiny is here, eat, devour, evolve, feast on that immortal fruit, drink the nectar, receive my gift—
As the voice echoed, the tendrils hanging from the cavern’s ceiling slowly descended, placing a tendril and a fruit in front of each Demon Evolver. The tendrils pulsated, liquid seemed to flow through the vein-like vines, causing the fruit to grow larger and larger, eventually turning into a massive Rou Qiu.
The Rou Qiu suddenly blossomed into a bright red flower, both bewitching and beautiful.
The petals of the flower quickly wilted and fell off, leaving behind a red fruit the size of an egg.
The Demon Evolvers voraciously devoured the fruit in front of them.
Xiao Jie right-clicked.
[System prompt: You have obtained a Demon Star Immortal Fruit.]
Damn, an unexpected reward! This thing is valuable, even if he didn’t dare to eat it, it would fetch a good price in the auction house.
In a worst-case scenario, he could give it to Big Orange.
But looking at everyone around him gobbling it down, Xiao Jie felt nervous. If he didn’t eat, he would easily be exposed.
After a moment of contemplation, he opened his bag, right-clicked on the Secret Dog Food, and his character on the screen mimicked the chewing and swallowing actions.
Ah! One of the Demon Evolvers, who looked like a giant bird, suddenly began to convulse, its feathers growing longer and muscles swelling.
Xiao Jie was stunned. Was this... the start of evolution?
At this moment, the other Demon Evolvers also began to roar and transform, their bodies changing rapidly. Xiao Jie looked around, confused and unsure of what to do. This kind of thing was impossible to fake.
