Evolution: Start AS A Raft

Raine looked at the creature and then at the egg beside it, shocked and speechless.

He didn't know what species the bird with red feathers all over its body was. Its size was almost the same as Raine's 1.8-meter height. It looked similar to most birds, except for its red eyes and golden beak.

How much did Raine value this egg? Even when there were only two enhancement chambers, he made sure to enhance this egg first.

"You finally came out!" Raine was almost in tears. The egg he had been waiting for eight years, the egg that had been enhanced by the Fire Heaven Crystal for eight years, had finally hatched!

The bird saw Raine, stumbled towards him, curiously tilted its head to look at Raine, then rubbed its head against Raine and chirped at him.

Its voice was still somewhat sharp, perhaps because it was a young bird, but it was clear that the bird was very close to Raine.

Raine excitedly gently stroked the young bird, feeling emotional, "Little guy, I've been waiting for you for several years! What kind of bird are you?"

Soon, the young bird opened its mouth and chirped repeatedly at Raine, its eyes full of anticipation and urgency.

"Hungry? Will you eat fish?" Raine immediately caught a few big fish and placed them in front of it.

The young bird seemed to have no interest in the food Raine provided, glanced at it twice, and walked away.

"Don't eat? You're not like Blacky, who likes to eat mutants or sea monsters, are you?"

The young bird walked around the room a few times, finally came to the bird egg, and started eating a broken piece of eggshell on the ground.

After eating for a while, it seemed a bit tired but didn't want to stay in the enhancement chamber. It followed Raine to the captain's room.

When the little guy just came out to the deck, it saw White and the Tiger King who were basking in the sun.

At the same time, White and the Tiger King also saw it. Suddenly, a tense atmosphere spread between the three beasts...

The Tiger King couldn't stand the pressure and ran behind White, not daring to look at the young bird.

White, on the other hand, stared intently at the young bird. Its fur stood on end, revealing its sharp teeth, seemingly ready to transform at any moment!

The young bird, also on alert, spread its wings, which were three to four meters long, making cooing sounds from its beak.

Suddenly, the young bird spewed flames from its mouth, spraying a torrent of fire toward White and the Tiger King.

White instantly transformed, grabbed the Tiger King, leaped to the side, and threw the Tiger King into the sea. White used its agile movement to dodge the flames and pounced on the young bird.

The young bird flapped its wings, leaping high into the air. It might not be able to fly yet, but its jumping height was still astonishing, reaching several dozen meters.

White stepped on the control tower with both feet and leaped into the air.

The young bird, not to be outdone, opened its mouth and spewed another stream of fire!

Raine thought for a moment and decided to collect the eggshells, as the bird seemed to be able to eat them.

When he finished cleaning up and went outside, he was dumbfounded.

White and the young bird were jumping up and down on the deck, the fire from the young bird in the air burned through his ship's warplanes and metal deck.

Before long, the young bird's fire ran out, and it couldn't fly anymore. It was finally cornered by White!

Despite this, the young bird still intended to peck White's eyes with its sharp beak.

The two were incredibly fierce.

"Damn! My ship! My planes! This little guy isn't easy to deal with either, causing trouble right after it's born!"

"Both of you, stop! Stop! White, don't hurt it!" Raine shouted, "Whoever fights again won't eat for a year!"

White and the young bird heard Raine's voice, looked at each other, and thought about Raine's threat.

A year without food would be unbearable! The two beasts finally stopped.

Raine grabbed White's ear with one hand and the young bird's head feathers with the other, dragging them both in front of a burned Sea Lance warplane.

"Look at this! Do you know how much this plane costs? Huh! You're learning all the bad things instead of the good! Look how many you've destroyed: one, two, three... eight! Eight planes, that's 8 million!"

White whimpered in grievance; it didn't burn the planes, so why was Raine scolding it too?

"White, you're still feeling wronged? Look at my command tower! Whose footprints are on it? There's radar equipment inside, and you've broken several! Do you know that?"

White glanced at the dented metal command tower and immediately behaved.

Raine looked miserable. Ten million was gone in the blink of an eye Just like that.

"Both of you were so fierce in fighting, and even more so in destroying things!"

After scolding them for a while, Raine felt a bit more balanced in his heart. He shook his head and looked at the two.

Seeing their pitiful expressions, his heart softened.

In fact, blaming them entirely was not entirely fair. One had just arrived, and the other had acted defensively.

Especially since both of them showed a decent attitude when admitting their mistakes, neither dared to talk back.

"Fine, I'll forgive both of you this time. But if there's a next time, if White starts the fight, I'll eat braised dog meat. If you start it, I'll make chicken soup!"

Both creatures trembled with fear, while the Tiger King chuckled quietly nearby.

After scolding the two, Raine checked the damage to the ship again.

The destroyed warplanes were completely burned and useless. The once sturdy deck now creaked underfoot and needed to be replaced.

"Hmm? This little guy was just born, and its flames are already so fierce?" Raine pinched the ashes on the deck, which had burned through the steel. "This guy must have inherited the Fire Heaven Crystal's true power!"

"System, check this Fire Turkey's attributes."

[Crew Member: Fire Turkey]

[Note: Due to the host raising the Fire Turkey since it was young, special viewing privileges have been granted.]

[Species: Fire Phoenix (100% Ancient Breeds)]

[Level: Juvenile Divine Beast, not applicable for mutation level.]

[Basic Attributes: 1000.]

[Skills: Heaven Crystal Divine Fire, flame temperature controllable, currently up to 10,000 degrees. The upper limit and total energy capacity increase with the Fire Phoenix's strength.]

"Huh? I can actually see it!" Raine was thrilled. "It's actually a Fire Phoenix, and it's 100% Ancient Breeds, which means the Fire Turkey is a real Fire Phoenix!"

Although the attributes given by the system were still vague and there was no reference, Raine could infer from the previous fight.

In terms of basic attributes, White should be higher than the Fire Turkey, but the Fire Turkey had the Heaven Crystal Divine Fire, making it difficult for White to approach.

However, the Fire Turkey had just been born, and its stored energy was limited, so it couldn't keep up with White for long.

"But Blacky's combat power is over a million, while White and the Fire Turkey only have 1000? Are Divine Beasts not as strong as sea monsters?"

Raine thought about it and came up with a possibility.

That is, the level system of Divine Beasts is not the same as sea monsters or mutants!

Divine Beasts must have a more complex combat power calculation method. They have more growth stages and diverse combat methods, not just relying on speed and strength to determine the outcome.

This was evident in the Fire Phoenix's information.

Moreover, their low basic attributes do not mean they are weak. It's possible that they have a low starting point but a high upper limit! Just like the Son of the Sea God, who seemed no different from ordinary people at first, but had an incredible development later on.

Understanding this, Raine finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Very well, the Heaven Crystal Divine Fire is already extremely fierce, and it can still be improved later! Alright, it seems I need to hurry up and feed you guys to grow big!"
