Chapter 156 The Growth of the Snow Wolf Beast
As the Tyrannosaurus Rex emitted a dazzling light, it was as if an invisible giant hand was slapping Xiao Yan, and he immediately felt all his soul power being absorbed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The soul power, converted by the Tyrannosaurus Rex Machine, transformed into a blue-black data light that shone on the Snow Wolf Beast. The cub, which should not have opened its eyes, finally opened its tightly closed eyes at this moment.
Despite this, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Machine still seemed unsatisfied, continuing to extract energy from Xiao Yan relentlessly. This feeling was even more unbearable than having one's soul power exhausted; it was like a forced attempt to drain every last drop from one's body.
It can be said that Xiao Yan has not felt this state for a long time since he became full of soul power.
He was like a riverbed about to be drained to make fishing easier; all he could say was a sigh of caution.
He opened his mouth and looked towards the direction of the Rolling Beast, hoping that the other party could lend a hand.
The Agumon noticed something was wrong and hurriedly touched Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan's condition did not improve. At the same time, the Agumon's power was also being drained by the Digivice.
The originally dark blue data, after absorbing the power of Agar.io, has transformed into energy with a faint crimson hue.
Then it was continuously injected into the snow wolf beast.
To Xiao Yan's astonishment, the little beast discovered that its previously incompletely evolved and weak limbs had now grown claw-like appendages, and even its lanugo had grown back.
Most importantly, his bright, piercing eyes, once opened, were looking at Xiao Yan with a mixture of curiosity and gratitude.
"Bang!"
With the sound of the glass on the surface of the nutrient bottle shattering, the snow wolf beast emerged from it. For the first time in over a decade, its short, stubby legs touched the ground. Then, like any other small beast, it first bowed to the four directions.
Xiao Yan collapsed to his knees, powerless. The rolling beast in his arms finally broke free from the suction and rolled to the side.
Compared to the exhausted Xiao Yan, he merely slumped his head wearily. "What is this? I thought I was going to be drained dry."
The little beast had finally adapted to its body and then lay down in front of Xiao Yan, licking the back of his hand that was resting on the ground, looking very affectionate.
Xiao Yan took a while to catch his breath before speaking, picking up where the Rolling Ball Beast left off, even though the Rolling Ball Beast had forgotten what it had just said.
"That was close. It seems that under the transformation of the Digivice, this Snow Wolf Beast might become a creature like you, Koromon. If we had made a move in the auction house, all my little secrets would have been exposed."
However, judging from Ning Rongrong and her father's opinion of him, he would probably only use his martial soul to replenish his soul power at the first opportunity.
If it weren't for the Rolling Ball Beast sharing the burden, Xiao Yan would most likely have been drained dry.
Of course, the Tyrannosaurus Rex machine is drawing from Xiao Yan's current resources; it's not worth risking Xiao Yan's life.
"It's because of you, little guy, that you've consumed so much of my soul power." Xiao Yan said, stroking the little beast's chin with his left hand. It stuck out its tongue and licked Xiao Yan's hand, while rolling around on the ground in great comfort. Xiao Yan also scratched its head.
Xiao Yan raised the Sacred Plan in his right palm. The screen had stopped flickering and dimmed. Xiao Yan pointed the machine at the little beast, but the machine did not react at all.
"Huh, so this guy pocketed all that soul power he absorbed from us?"
Xiao Yan discovered that the Digivice was still unable to retrieve the Snow Wolf Beast's data. Thinking of this, he aimed the machine at the Koromon, and soon the relevant data appeared on the screen.
"It seems the machine isn't broken. So all that soul power was absorbed for nothing." Xiao Yan was somewhat disappointed.
Just now, he clearly watched as the Digivice in his hand transformed the soul power within his body into a digital soul, which was then shone upon the Snow Wolf Beast. But now, it seems that the transformation has not taken place.
Although it was a miracle that the little beast was able to stand on all fours, since it had been swallowed in its mother's womb and its development had been interrupted, such a miracle was clearly not what Xiao Yan needed.
The Rolling Ball Beast then approached, and the little beast immediately nudged the pink and white Rolling Ball with its head, as if vying for his attention.
To show off its big brother status, Koromon immediately evolved into Agumon, becoming significantly taller than Snowwolfmon.
"Xiao Yan, it's growing a bit too fast." The Rolling Beast was comparing its height with the other's when Xiao Yan, who was still thinking, looked up upon hearing this.
It was discovered that the snow wolf beast had indeed grown in size, no longer the size of a palm, and its limbs had become more and more developed.
However, Agumon only seemed to notice the other's height. The previously hairless beast was now visibly covered in fur.
This is the truly terrifying part. Could it be that, under the nourishment of the digital soul, this young beast is being forced to grow?
His body, which hadn't grown for over a decade, was now growing even after being removed from the nutrient solution. Soon, he was taller than Agumon, and his brows revealed the aloofness that was unique to wolf-type soul beasts. He glanced down at Agumon, but his gaze towards Xiao Yan remained gentle.
However, the snow wolf beast's size continued to grow—
Could it possibly grow even further? Xiao Yan was startled. Could it really grow into the appearance of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in an instant?
"No, no, his life force is getting weaker and weaker." Xiao Yan could feel that the soul beast that had just reached the peak of its growth was now in decline.
The weariness of time quickly crept onto the snow wolf beast's face, and his once upright posture gradually hunched over.
He lay down weakly at Xiao Yan's feet.
And these so-called changes happened in less than half an hour.
"Hey, what are you doing? You insisted I take a picture. I thought you had some special abilities, but it turns out you just forced someone to die peacefully?" Xiao Yan tried to talk to the Tyrannosaurus Rex with some helplessness.
However, the Digimon, which seemed to have already eaten its fill, had no intention of paying him any attention.
Agumon, astonished by the change in life, gaped and asked, "Xiao Yan, do soul beasts in this world die naturally? It's not just humans who do this?"
"His childhood trauma was too severe; perhaps he shouldn't have left that nutrient solution." Xiao Yan placed his hand on the snow wolf beast's head, somewhat helplessly. It wasn't a soul beast born normally from its mother's womb; its long lifespan could be attributed entirely to being kept afloat by a nutrient solution.
Even if it hadn't been soaked in nutrient solution and supplemented with medicinal herbs, and had been allowed to grow freely, it probably wouldn't have survived more than ten years.
Many misconceptions hold that the older a soul beast is, the stronger and rarer it becomes. However, this is not the case. It is only because its strength increases that its age can increase. It is just that in the Douluo Continent, the demand for soul rings among soul masters is high.
It is rare to see a soul beast that dies of natural causes.
Of course, the world is full of wonders; it's just that the strong undergo tribulations while the weak die naturally.
In some ways, it was a good thing that I took a picture of this snow wolf beast, allowing this little beast, which had never set foot on the ground in its entire life, to experience the feeling of being truly alive, even if only for a brief moment.
