Chen Nan let the system keep the evolution opportunity in the background, not using it immediately.
The location and timing weren’t right for Xiaochi to evolve.
Besides, Zhen Xuelan was standing next to him.
If he evolved Xiaochi now, the changes in the sky and Xiaochi would attract a lot of suspicion and trouble.
There would be another uproar then.
If he wanted to evolve Xiaochi, it seemed that he had to return as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Nan’s heart was filled with anticipation.
He wondered what would happen after the evolution.
Would Xiaochi’s strength advance by another level?
Or would its appearance and body size get closer to the Vermilion Bird?
These would only be known after the next evolution.
Chen Nan returned to his senses and looked at Xiaochi who was flying towards him.
At the same time, Zhen Xuelan who was standing at the side was extremely shocked when she recalled what she had just witnessed.
Xiaochi’s attacks just now were very efficient and it didn’t take long to kill the four Iron-armored Rats.
On top of that, the damage it caused wasn’t small.
If it was her, it would have been very difficult for her to deal with four vicious beasts all at once.
After all, they were slightly superior in terms of numbers.
However, Chen Nan had easily dealt with them.
It seemed that her speculations were right.
Chen Nan’s contracted beast had a precious bloodline that was far superior to the Haw Eagle’s!
It was precisely because of this that the Hawk-Eagle was afraid of Xiaochi.
However, she didn’t ask about it. After all, this was Chen Nan’s privacy.
At the same time, after Xiaochi killed the Iron-armored Rat, it flapped its wings and happily returned to Chen Nan.
Its actions of seeking praise caused Chen Nan to chuckle.
He reached out and stroked its feathers.
Only when Xiaochi was satisfied did Chen Nan put it back into his beast space.
Then, he turned to look at Zhen Xuelan.
In the next moment, Zhen Xuelan looked at him too and said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t help much in the battle just now.”
Chen Nan shook his head to show that he didn’t mind. He then glanced at Zhen Xuelan’s contracted beast.
Both his contracted beast and Zhen Xuelan’s were birds. Although Xiaochi wasn’t a Phoenix, it possessed 5% of the Phoenix bloodline.
Just this alone allowed Xiaochi to have a bloodline suppression effect on the majority of bird vicious beasts.
As such, whenever other bird vicious beasts meet Xiaochi, they would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
“What should we do with the corpses of these vicious beasts?”
Chen Nan pointed at the corpses of the four Iron-armored Rats in the pit.
Zhen Xuelan followed his finger and looked over. The four Iron-armored Rat bodies were lying in a mess in the pit.
“I’ll contact the city defense army to come over later. Although this isn’t the Association’s bounty mission, they will still more or less give you some rewards for killing vicious beasts in the suburb,” Zhen Xue Lan explained.
Hearing this, Chen Nan nodded. He knew that the rewards were probably Alliance Dollars.
After Zhen Xuelan finished saying this, she took out her communicator and dialed the number of the city defense army.
After some communication, Zhen Xuelan finally put down her communicator.
“The city defense army will be here soon,” Zhen Xuelan looked at Chen Nan, worried that he had something urgent to attend to and couldn’t wait for too long.
Hearing this, Chen Nan nodded to indicate that he understood.
Although he did want to quickly evolve Xiaochi, he could still afford to wait for such a short time.
Ten minutes later, the sound of well-trained footsteps could be heard in the alley.
In the next moment, Chen Nan saw five young men dressed in the same clothes walking towards him.
They must be the city defense army.
The young man standing at the front turned around and said to the others, “You guys go deal with the corpses.”
Those who heard the order immediately walked into the huge pit.
The person who gave the order came up to Chen Nan and asked, “Who killed these fierce beasts?”
“It was me,” Chen Nan glanced at the person and guessed that since he could give orders, he must be the captain.
Hearing this, the captain of the city defense army looked at Zhen Xue Lan with confusion.
It was as if he was asking her if what Chen Nan said was true.
Zhen Xue Lan nodded, indicating that Chen Nan was the one who had killed the four vicious beasts.
Seeing this, the captain of the city defense army was very surprised and sized up Chen Nan.
Judging from Chen Nan’s appearance, he was still very young and should still be in school.
He was so young, yet he was able to kill four vicious beasts. This was simply unbelievable!
Admiration appeared in the captain’s eyes.
He admired Chen Nan for having such strength at such a young age.
If he was properly groomed, he might even be stronger in the future!
At the same time, the other members of the city defense army had already finished handling the vicious beasts’ corpses and had returned to the captain’s side.
Sensing the arrival of his team members, the captain took out an alliance quota card and handed it to Chen Nan, “This is the reward for killing the vicious beasts.”
Seeing this, Chen Nan took the card.
When the rest of the city defense army’s members saw this, they were shocked, but they didn’t say anything and left with the captain.
Chen Nan flipped the card over and saw the quota at the back to be at a total of 20,000 Alliance Dollars.
Feeling satisfied, he put the card away.
Seeing this, Zhen Xuelan said, “Let’s go back.”
Hearing this, Chen Nan nodded and the two walked out of the alley together.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Nan and Zhen Xuelan had returned to the city.
Standing at the city gates, the two said their goodbyes and parted ways.
Chen Nan walked in the direction of the academy.
He wanted to return as soon as possible and evolve Xiaochi.
With this thought in mind, his footsteps became faster and faster. In less than twenty minutes, he had returned to the academy and walked straight towards the dormitory.
When he reached the door to his dorm, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The minute Chen Nan entered, he saw Liang Feiguang sitting in his seat. At this moment, he was cautiously looking in the direction of the door.
Beside him sat the Snow Leopard.
When Liang Feiguang saw that the person who came was Chen Nan, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He stood up and walked to the front of Chen Nan, then asked curiously, “Chen Nan, what did you do this afternoon? Fortunately, you didn’t stay in the dormitory this afternoon.”
Liang Feiguang’s tone was filled with relief.
Thank God Chen Nan had gone out. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
Hearing his words, Chen Nan immediately had questions in his heart.
Why did he say that?
Did something happen?
“I went to do something. What happened?” Chen Nan looked at Liang Feiguang with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“This afternoon, not long after I came back, one of Ji Ren’s lackeys had come over and looked around our dorm. He must have come to find trouble with you, but he couldn’t find you.”
Liang Feiguang told him about the situation that had happened this afternoon.
“However, since he didn’t find you this afternoon, I’m afraid he will come back again tonight,” Liang Feiguang guessed.
When the lackey left, he had worn an expression that said he would be back, so he would most definitely be back very soon.
He wondered if the lackey would bring people over.
If he did, it would be troublesome.
When Chen Nan heard this, he frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
“If they have the ability, they can come and try,” Chen Nan said coldly.
He had just ignored this group of people, but now they were taking advantage of him!
He had never been afraid!
However, he had to evolve Xiaochi as soon as possible.
It had been a long time since the last evolution.
He was also quite curious about Xiaochi’s strength after the evolution.
