Chapter 579: Moon Bear's Quagmire
"Have you made up your mind? Are you sure?"
Looking at Lin Shi's expression, Su Qimeng knew that he had made up his mind, so she immediately let out a breath and asked.
"Hmm... almost."
Lin Shi was silent for a while, then nodded and said.
In fact, he had no idea in his heart. The blood moon would occur on the third night and would only last for five or six hours. If Circle Bear completed its evolution within that time, it would definitely be in time.
But it is better to be safe than sorry. If something happens to the Circle Bear and it needs more time to evolve, Lin Shi will never be able to interrupt it at that time and can only wait for it to finish its evolution.
"ok, I get it."
Su Qimeng nodded. Since Lin Shi had said so, what else could she do? She could only support him.
"I'll help you keep an eye on this place for the time being. I'll go find Taoyao and the others to explain the situation later. You must come back quickly."
Su Qimeng still reminded him worriedly.
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Su."
Lin Shi smiled with relief and winked at Su Qimeng.
……
Time was running out, so Lin Shi did not hesitate at all and immediately set out to return to Baishan City, and all the way to Baishui Forest.
After half a year, the volcanic activity in the Baishan Secret Realm had long subsided. Because Lin Shi and Xi Duolan took away most of the volcanic energy, the damage caused by this eruption was not great.
Lin Shi had already obtained the pass to enter and exit the secret realm from Wei Qixing, and he entered the Baishan Secret Realm effortlessly. This was the best place Lin Shi had chosen for the evolution of Circle Bear.
"Circle Bear, Bear Apprentice, come out."
After entering the forest, Lin Shi called out the two elves. This was the common hometown of the two elves.
"Apprentice Xiong, please call Yueyue Bear for me."
Lin Shi smiled and touched Apprentice Bear's head and Apprentice Bear nodded happily and shouted towards the depths of the forest.
"Don't worry, bear. It's okay."
The Circle Bear on the other side looked a little embarrassed. After all, it was a big event in the bear's life, so it was normal for it to feel a little uneasy. Looking at its appearance, Lin Shi patted its arm to comfort it.
The time when Lin Shi captured Gyarados and Ursa Major was almost the same. Compared to his original Pokémon, Arcanine, they are the Pokémon that have spent the longest time with Lin Shi.
Over the years, both the baby bear and the evolved Circle Bear have been very hardworking and emotionally stable, and have helped Lin Shi a lot in daily life.
After accumulating power for such a long time, Lin Shi believed that it would be able to complete the evolution perfectly.
"Ouch!"
Listening to Lin Shi's words, Circle Bear nodded with relief.
"Boom boom..."
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the woods not far away. The trees began to shake continuously, and a huge elf approached Lin Shi.
"Ow!"
A huge roar was heard, blowing away the low bushes around, and the flying elves fled in all directions, and this elf finally came in front of Lin Shi.
"Yueyue Bear, long time no see."
Looking at Yueyue Bear coming over, Lin Shi said with a smile.
“Haha.”
Apprentice Bear also followed suit and said that as an elf that had lived here since childhood, it also missed it a little after being away for so long.
"Ouch."
A Circle Bear came out from behind Yueyue Bear, and when he saw his apprentice bear, he roared with joy and ran over quickly to join the apprentice bear.
Yueyue Bear was also looking at his bear apprentice. Seeing that Lin Shi took good care of it and its strength had improved a lot, he nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Shi.
"I came here this time hoping to help my Circus Bear evolve. I remember you said there is a place here that is very suitable for Circus Bear to evolve. I hope you can take me there."
Lin Shi revealed his purpose in full. This was the promise Yueyue Xiong made to him when he accepted him as his apprentice, and now it was finally time to fulfill it.
"Ow."
Listening to Lin Shi's words, Yueyue Bear looked at Lin Shi's Circle Bear, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he nodded, turned around and motioned Lin Shi to follow.
"It's troublesome."
Seeing Yueyue Xiong agreed, Lin Shi smiled and said.
Following Yueyue Bear into the depths of the forest, after passing through layers of forest, crossing streams, and passing through several caves, a dark quagmire appeared in front of Lin Shi.
The location of this quagmire is very strange. It seems to be located in the center of the forest. Starting from here, it is surrounded by relatively open land, and then there are lush trees.
"What a round quagmire. Is it natural?"
Coming to the brown mud, Lin Shi kept looking at it. The shape of this mud was like a full moon, and the muddy water in it seemed very pure, not as dirty as a sludge swamp.
"Ow!"
Yueyue Bear roared, and the trees around him began to shake. Only then did Lin Shi notice that there were several baby bears and Circle Bears in the surrounding forest.
It seems that the reason why the mud here is so clean is probably because it is a relatively important place for the bears and they guard it strictly.
"Ouch!"
Immediately afterwards, Yueyue Bear suddenly roared at Lin Shi and Quanquan Bear, and the pattern of clouds covering the moon on its forehead emitted a faint, bright light.
Lin Shi, who possessed super-powers, could easily understand Yueyue Xiong's meaning without translation, which made him slightly stunned.
"You mean you want to have a battle with my Circle Bear?"
"Ow."
Yueyue Bear nodded, and then continued to roar at Lin Shi, roughly meaning that this was a ritual of theirs. In their tribe, only the Circle Bears who had experienced battles could be recognized by Yueshengtan and gain enough energy for evolution.
Moreover, as the leader of the Circle Bear clan in the secret realm, it also wants to see the strength of the Circle Bears from the system outside the secret realm, so as to have an exchange and discussion.
"Is that so? That's quite interesting..."
Lin Shi touched his chin and looked at Circle Bear.
"It looks like we have no reason to refuse. How about it? Are you confident? This guy's level is not low."
"Cool!"
The Circle Bear roared, with a faint white light emanating from its body, and it was also full of fighting spirit. It had reasons not to lose, and it also had the confidence that it would not lose.
"Very good, we are willing to fight."
Looking at Circle Bear's look, Lin Shi agreed. After all, Yueyue Bear only said that he wanted to fight but didn't say who would win or lose. It would be good for Circle Bear to have a full-strength fight before evolving.
"Ouch!"
Seeing Lin Shi's agreement, Yueyue Bear took the lead and walked to the open space next to the mud pit, staring at Circle Bear closely.
Other wild bears and cubs also left the forest, sat together in the open space, and watched with great interest.
"Cool."
The Circle Bear roared, and a bright light like the moon emanated from its body, which surprised Lin Shi.
"You got into the state so quickly? It seems that Circle Bear is very serious this time..."
