World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats - Chapter 295
Locke could obtain the hidden evolution route of the Battle Beast through the system, thus turning it into a treasure.
He could turn the originally weak and useless Battle Beast into one with astonishing combat strength.
For example, the Swamp Hydra or the Divine Light Dragon.
It was only when the Battle Beast egg or the baby was discovered by Locke that he could successfully sign the contract and evolve through the hidden evolution route.
The same could not be said for a Battle Beast in its growth or maturity stage.
Battle Beasts were the same as humans. They would have their own consciousness when they grew up.
If one forcefully signed a contract with a Battle Beast, not only would there be a high chance of failure, there might even be a situation of betrayal or even a backlash.
This was something that Locke absolutely could not allow.
Just like in the battle with Cloud City’s City Lord Reid, if the Raging Flame Lion could be a little more bold, the one who would fail would be Locke.
Now that they had the Beast Whisperer Angela, many things could be resolved.
“Tell him that if he follows me, not only will he not go hungry, but he’ll also have meat to eat in every meal. See if he’s willing.”
Locke pointed at the dirtiest and shortest of the Bonobo apes and said to Angela.
“Is it this one?”
Angela looked at this little fellow, who was obviously weaker than the other Bonobo apes, and her face was filled with disbelief.
A Battle Beast like the Bonobos would not even be picked up by the roadside, let alone the weakest one.
“This isn’t a Bonobo, it’s a Silverback Gorilla. It should have been stolen by the Bonobos when it was young to be a child bride.
“The bad nature of a disgusting race like the Bonobos is rarely seen even among Battle Beasts.
“Although the Silverback Gorilla is only a tier 2 Battle Beast, this little fellow has been severely malnourished since young. That’s why it looks even smaller than the Bonobos.”
Locke explained and threw another bone over.
The Bonobo ape whimpered again as if it was celebrating its victory.
From their point of view, Locke continuously giving away his food was a cowardly act.
This made them excited.
“She said that the Bonobo ape is very strong. You’re no match for it.”
“She told you to leave quickly.”
Angela translated truthfully. Her gaze toward the Silverback Gorilla was filled with pity.
An adult Silverback Gorilla could reach a height of more than five meters and have a strength of several tons.
What kind of abuse had the little guy in front of him suffered to be so weak?
“Kill them.”
Locke was eating meat and was too lazy to do it himself.
Hathaway snapped her fingers and an invisible wind blade flew past. The Bonobos fell to the ground neatly.
Like rice that had been cut by a sickle, a bloody mark appeared on each Bonobo’s neck.
The little Silverback Gorilla was frightened and squatted on the ground, not daring to move at all.
Hathaway snapped her fingers again and a breeze blew past. The Bonobos’ corpses on the ground were blown to the river beside them.
A handful of warm water suddenly dropped on the little Silverback Gorilla’s head, drenching her completely.
Two large invisible hands began to rub up and down, adding all kinds of expensive spices and soap.
Wash, rinse, and blow.
After more than ten minutes, the little gorilla that originally looked like a dwarf finally returned to its original appearance.
It revealed the Silverback Gorilla’s pink little face.
It looked like a shy little girl.
“Come here, eat this.”
Hathaway took a piece of lamb meat and waved at the gorilla.
Although Hathaway was not a Beast Whisperer, the little guy clearly understood her.
First, he swallowed his saliva and looked at Hathaway warily. After a while, it was clear that greed had overcome reason, and the little guy jumped over.
He grabbed the lamb meat and ate it.
“Eat slowly, don’t choke.”
Hathaway took a glass of red wine and handed it over. The little guy picked it up and drank it. It was so spicy that it only stuck out its tongue.
Everyone laughed.
The sudden addition of the little guy made the atmosphere a lot happier.
Hathaway’s Battle Beast was already dead. After asking for the little guy’s consent, there were almost no twists and turns in the successful contract.
At this time, Locke opened the system interface and began to study its hidden evolution path.
[ Race: Silverback gorilla ]
[ Rarity: Tier 2 (weak) ]
[ Attribute: Earth ]
[ Talent: Strong ]
[ Skill: None ]
Hidden Evolution Path 1: Strength-type evolution, next stage can evolve to tier 5.
Hidden Evolution Path 2: Full-scale evolution, long-term growth, can evolve to tier 7, Ancient Demonic Ape.
What Locke valued was the little guy’s talent to evolve into an Ancient Demonic Ape.
There were many Bonobo apes that could evolve, but this race was too disgusting, and Locke did not like it.
The Ancient Demonic Ape was a tier 7 Battle Beast, and it was already quite powerful.
It was just that its growth period was longer and it needed the Beastmaster to take care of it.
Hathaway clearly understood Locke’s thoughts. She did not have the ability to fight now, so she could train the little Silverback Gorilla.
With Locke around, Hathaway basically did not need to fight, but she needed to have the ability to fight.
The situation in Mountain City of using Hathaway to threaten Locke definitely could not happen again.
To evolve the little Silverback Gorilla into an ancient magic ape required a lot of materials.
Not only was it hard to find, but it was also complicated.
Fortunately, Locke had already mastered the nine changes of the dragon-snake inner breath. As long as he helped the little Silverback Gorilla to comb its veins on time every day, it would be able to complete its evolution without any materials.
It was just that the process of evolution was slightly slower.
Locke gently stroked the smooth fur on the little Silverback’s back. Inner breath entered its body and helped it clear the accumulated impurities in its body.
The little one stretched comfortably and fell asleep very quickly.
Angela also came over and touched the little one, her eyes filled with envy.
This was because Angela had always liked Battle Beasts since she was young.
Due to her status as a saint, she could only choose the Light Elves.
Seeing Hathaway subdue the little Silverback Gorilla with her own eyes, Angela could only come over and pat it to have fun.
“Do you want one too?”
Locke saw the desire in Angela’s eyes.
“Yes.
“But, I already have a light elf.”
Angela nodded without hesitation, but the next moment, she fell silent again.
Light Elves were Battle Beasts that she had nurtured for a long time, and they had powerful recovery abilities.
Whether it was in the church or out on adventures, treatment was indispensable.
Although she envied others for having Battle Beasts, Angela still understood her position and would not act recklessly.
“Who said that there can only be one Battle Beast?
“As long as you can afford it, you can contract as many as you want.”
Locke pointed at himself. Other than the Swamp Hydra, there were two Blue Lightning Snake Bats on his ears.
This was not Locke’s peak condition. At his peak, Locke had even raised seven Battle Beasts at the same time.
“Really? What should I do?”
Angela’s eyes lit up.
It was her dream to have one of her own Battle Beasts, even if it was not that strong.
“See that river? Take off your clothes and jump in.”
Locke pointed at the river in front of him and revealed an evil smile.
