Evolution Plug-in: I can evolve effortlessly!

"What? That brat is so strong?" The Bird Emperor said in disbelief. At this moment his state is extremely embarrassing as all of his beautiful feathers have been messed up and the area around his eyes is swollen.

Robert did not spare any efforts while punishing him which resulted in this. But the Bird Emperor did not pay any attention to this as he was stunned after listening to Roberts' observation.

"Yes, he is very strong. From my guess, he is at least in the Spirit Realm." Robert said in frustration. After bullying Bird Emperor for a while his anger was relieved so he started to think about how to mend the current situation.

"T-T-This…" The Bird Emperor was silenced after hearing Robert. Now he finally knows why he is so angry. From the looks of it, he created trouble for him by offending such a big shot.

"Sorry, Brother Robert! When that guy comes back I will apologize." The Bird Emperor said with guilt. Although he is free-willed and playful he knew when to step back and apologize. Because of his mistake, others would be affected too which is not his intention.

That's why he decided to apologize to the little Crocodile and try to ask for his forgiveness.

"No need." Robert shook his head after listening to Bird Emperor, "If you do that then the crocodile will know that we have understood his capability which might bring us more trouble."

"How so?" The Bird Emperor asked in confusion.

"Think about it. You have trolled that guy for so long but he never flared up and kept his emotions under control. Why did he do this? There are two possible reasons for that."

"First, that crocodile is very magnanimous and he didn't take all your actions to his heart, which is a very desirable outcome for us."

"Second, He did not want to or wants to keep his identity and strength a secret thus he did not flare upon us. Which makes it safe for the short term but in long term, it might bring us some trouble."

"If the crocodile is hiding its identity then it's better not to do anything that would expose him. That's why I think it's better not to apologize to him abruptly. Apologizing is necessary but we have to do it in a way which would not expose his identity."

The Bird Emperor nodded after listening to Robert's suggestions. It makes sense!

"So what should we do?" The Bird Emperor asked the main question. 

"Before deciding anything first we have to determine which option is correct. Only after doing that can we proceed further." Robert thought for a moment and said seriously. He needs to know why the little Crocodile did nothing after listening to Bird Emperor bullshit.

If it was the first option then a proper apology would suffice. But if it's later then things would be complicated…

"In short, Don't reveal your toes. Just act like before until I tell you further information." Robert looked at the Bird Emperor and said seriously. In reality, he does not need to pay that much attention to this matter, An apology would do the job. 

But he needs to make a plan for the long term. There is a high possibility that this little Crocodile is the member or relative of the Marshal Crocodile. This can explain why he is in charge of the reward system.

Thus for his plans, he needs to maintain a good relationship with this guy. If things are handled properly then he could most possibly become the breaking point of the plan.

That's why Robert decided to handle this matter properly and make good use of the current situation.

"Go! Hunt a few beasts for me. It doesn't matter if it has high cultivation or not, just hunt for something edible." Thinking of this Robert said to the Bird Emperor. 

If he wanted to mend the relationship then the best way was through food. Since his debut, Robert has noticed that all the big guys have very low resistance toward the delicious and aromatic food.

If the little Crocodile is the same as the others then he can most probably bring him to their side and wipe out all the unpleasant experiences.

The Bird Emperor was baffled after listening to Robert but he did as he instructed and took a flight to find prey.

On the other hand, Robert looked at the surroundings to find any local ingredients. He has not brought any condiments with him thus he wanted to find other materials as a substitution.

...

Under the lake, the scene is completely different.

Many types of Aquatic animals reside under the White Blazing Lake and their number is humongous. Schools of fishes and other aquatic animals roamed near the surface of the water.

This looks like any normal Lake but beneath this normal view, there is something hidden that is in complete contrast to normal peaceful scenery.

At the bottom of the White Blazing Lake, some structures are similar to tents. These tents are made from floral vegetation layered on the rock formations.

There are not many fishes living here but you can find many Amphibians present here. Turtles, Frog, Giant Squids, etc.

These are just among the common ones. Except for these, some creatures did not fit in the environment.

Silver Wolves with bright white light around their bodies… Big Black bears with big bubbles around their body… 

Many types of birds including three-meter-long eagles have bright green feathers… Owls with no eyes… a bird which looks similar to a vulture….

In short, all the creatures who have different living environments and belong to different ethnic groups are gathered underwater.

And they are very peaceful. At Least one surface….

The little crocodile who brought Robert and Bird Emperor near the shore was walking among these groups of creatures with an unsurprised expression As if he is used to this strange sight.

"Little Marshal, You are back!"

"What are you doing here? Did something happen on the surface?"

"You seem to be unhappy? Did you experience something unpleasant?"

Many creatures saw the little Crocodile and they greeted him. The people who greeted him only included amphibians who were patrolling the area. Other non-native creatures only glanced at him and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Robert's guess was correct that this little Crocodile is a relative of the Marshal Crocodile. And a very close one at that. 

The Little Crocodile is the third generation successor of the Marshal Crocodile thus everyone intimately calls him Little Marshal.

The little marshal returned the greeting and was very polite to others. Although others are very polite to him they belong to the senior generation so basic respect should be given.

Hearing their questions the Little marshal said unhappily, "It's nothing, Two people came here to exchange something for the Corpse of the Desolate beasts." 

"What if someone hunted a Desolate Beast before us?" 

"Are those from some other ethnic groups?"

"No, if that was the case then they should have arrived here first as it's the order from the alliance."

"Yes and if they were really from some big tribes then they would not need to exchange with us. They would have brought the loot with them."

"So why?" 

"..."

Everyone discussed spiritedly after listening to the Little Marshal. This news surprised them very much.

Even those from other tribes were attracted to this news. Even those Black Bears who were sleeping in the bubble were awake as they looked at the Little Marshal with curiosity.

"Don't make a fuss! It's nothing great. That desolate Beast is just at Heart Refinement level. And the one who brought the corpse should be native of the Dream Mapple forest."

"One of them looked like a bear and the other was a bird." The Little Marshal said with dissatisfaction as he saw everyone's excited look. He has a bad impression of those two guys so how can he be willing to see others praise them?

Hearing Little Marshal everyone's attention was lowered as they felt that it was nothing great. 

Heart Refinement level? That's weak. Any one of us can kill a Desolate beast of that level. But still, that's an impressive record for native spiritual beasts thus they wanted to dig out more details.

Especially the bears and the bird tribe. They wanted to gather more news as the people who killed the beast should belong to their tribe or at least be from the same race.

"Little Guy! Come here, Everyone wants to meet you." Just as they wanted to ask a few more questions they heard a gentle voice of a male.

Everyone looked at one place subconsciously and sucked a sip of cold breath. The voice came from the center of the whole structure (Formation). 

At that place, there is a big tent which is the gathering place for all the big guys. The strongest amongst the group have gathered there.

The Little Marshal was surprised because of the unexpected summons but he didn't dare to delay as the one who spoke just now is his father.

Second Generation Marshal Crocodile!

The Little Marshal entered the tent filled with nervousness as he was about to meet many big shots who have similar strength to his father.

Or even stronger!

After entering inside he saw five people sitting inside.

One is a big Crocodile which has a black scale all over his body. That's his father, Second Generation Marshal Crocodile: King of Blood!

Except for him, there are others, A fist-sized bird, Two meters long Turtle, A black Bear with scars all over his body.

And the last one…..

…. Aunt Rosy!
