Evolution (2)
Evil Wolf brought Shen Yanxiao into the underground city and found Xiaoxiao in a small cave.
Xiaoxiao curled herself into a ball, and her dirty body trembled as she moaned in pain.
Evil Wolf stood at one side anxiously, not knowing what to do.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the situation; it did not seem optimistic. There were a few low-ranked demons standing outside the cave peeking in, seemingly worried.
Low-ranked demons did not have the ability to speak so Shen Yanxiao could not ask them what's wrong with Xiaoxiao.
As a last resort, she could only ask Xiu for help.
But once Xiu heard of Xiaoxiao's situation, a trace of understanding appeared on his handsome face.
"Don't be anxious. I'll go with you to take a look," Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao, who had a question mark on her face, and said slowly.
"Alright." Shen Yanxiao nodded, but she could not help but stretch out her head to peek into the training ground. Xiu had been training advanced-ranked demons here for quite some time, and she was still unsure of his progress.
"Let's go." Seeing Shen Yanxiao's futile attempts at peeking, Xiu's thin lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.
Shen Yanxiao brought Xiu to the cave where Xiaoxiao was. Evil Wolf, who was pacing around anxiously, was petrified the moment he saw Xiu behind Shen Yanxiao.
Who the f*ck could tell him why there was a man in this world that was prettier than a woman!!
Evil Wolf looked at Xiu's golden eyes in shock. His tall figure turned into a tree as he stood rooted on one side.
Who was this great god?
Golden eyes…
The color of those eyes were only possessed by the God race…
The moment Xiu appeared, the low-ranked demons that were loitering outside the cave fled in all directions. No one dared to linger near there anymore.
"Err, what's wrong with them?" Shen Yanxiao shot a glance at the petrified Evil Wolf and sighed.
Evil Wolf's ability to handle stress seemed to be quite weak.
Xiu merely glanced at Xiaoxiao and said, "She'll be fine."
"Really? She looks like she's in pain though." Shen Yanxiao frowned. Xiu's diagnosis was a bit too quick for her likings. He was at least four to five meters away from Xiaoxiao. How did he know she'll be alright with a sweeping glance?
Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao's doubtful expression and explained reluctantly, "She's evolving."
"Evolving?" Shen Yanxiao was even more confused.
"Demons are creatures that live in the Underworld. They rely on dark elements in the Underworld to grow. Under constant nourishment of dark elements, demons would be able to undergo certain changes. Low-ranked demons could evolve into intermediate-ranked demons, and intermediate-ranked demons could evolve into advanced-ranked demons. It's similar to the advancement of humans." Xiu's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest. His voice carried a trace of chilliness that echoed in the cave.
"Demons can really evolve!" Shen Yanxiao was thoroughly shocked. She had never heard of a demon that could evolve. The demons in the Brilliance Continent were still the same when they came here. How many years had passed since then? Nothing of such happened before.
Xiu explained. "Demons are unable to evolve in the Brilliance Continent because there are no dark elements to sustain their evolution. It is equivalent to shortening their chances of growth. Demons are born as low-ranked demons. They can only advance under the nurturing of dark elements, so this demon is evolving into an intermediate-ranked demon."
