"You want it, don't you?" Zhou Ran looked at the Thunder Tiger lewdly.
The Thunder Tiger nodded continuously. It must be said that this young tiger really looked like a cat.
Moreover, the Thunder Tiger was exceptionally attentive, climbing onto Zhou Ran's shoulder and gently licking his cheek.
"Alright, alright, here you go!" Zhou Ran couldn't take it anymore and threw it to the Thunder Tiger.
The Dark Star Wolf Dog beside him was frantically tearing into the Black Thunder Bear's corpse, savouring the flesh and blood. Seeing Zhou Ran's actions, it barked "Woof woof," feeling a bit jealous.
'What are you looking at? Eat your own.' Zhou Ran walked aside and watched Bao Lei Hu's transformation quietly.
Lei Dan was swallowed whole by Bao Lei Hu in one gulp. A tiger's roar echoed across the sky as Bao Lei Hu bathed in the sea of lightning formed by countless bolts of lightning, creating a spectacular scene.
Moments later, the lightning gradually faded away, and a giant tiger dozens of metres long emerged from the lightning sea.
At this point, the Thunder Tiger had completely shed its cat-like appearance, its body having grown dozens of times larger. Its blue-gold fur flickered with lightning, and the character 'Thunder' on its forehead shone with golden light, giving it the appearance of a ferocious beast.
Zhou Ran was startled and immediately threw a Pet Appraisal Device at it.

'Wow! It's already at the Upper Third Tier and has directly evolved into the Growth Form.'
'Erbao, look at it. It's way more handsome than you.' Zhou Ran stared in astonishment at the Thunder Tiger while also complaining about the Dark Star Wolf Dog.
The Dark Star Wolf Dog was focused on eating the bear meat, only barking symbolically twice before ignoring Zhou Ran.
Similarly, after advancing, the Thunder Tiger also ran over, voraciously gnawing on the bear meat. Soon, a bear skeleton as tall as a mountain appeared.
Thus, one man, one dog, and one tiger fought疯狂ly in this fragment of the plane, only fleeing when encountering an invincible beast, otherwise continuing to fight to the death.
During the process, Zhou Ran grew tired and sleepy, so he immediately killed himself, as if he had grown accustomed to that feeling...
Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The two beasts had long since lost count of how many times they had died. They had eaten elephant meat and the flesh of a hundred-metre-long giant python, and the piles of bones were now towering high.
However, Zhou Ran and the two beasts' strength had also grown rapidly. The Dark Star Wolf Dog had reached the top tier of the fourth rank, and the Thunder Tiger had also reached the fourth rank, on the verge of breaking through to the fifth rank.
Compared to three days ago, the difference was like night and day! ...
Ruan Ruan Pet Shop.
The roller shutter door was tightly closed, and the store was empty.
Suddenly, a vertical eye appeared out of thin air, followed by three figures appearing inside the store.
'It's so late, and it's already dark.'
'Huh? Where's my Thunder Tiger?' Zhou Ran scratched his head and looked around.
'Due to the store's small size, it cannot accommodate the Thunder Tiger's size. A barrier has been activated to shrink it to one-fifth of its original size,' the system reminded him.
Sure enough, the Thunder Tiger had once again shrunk to the size of a cat, looking at Zhou Ran in astonishment, while the Dark Star Wolf Dog beside him was smiling faintly.
"..."
"Haha, the shop is a bit small, sorry for the inconvenience." Zhou Ran stroked the tiger's head and laughed.
At this moment, Zhou Ran's right hand star ring lit up, and he took out the purple golden ball from the storage space.
'System! Quickly, quickly, help me identify this! What is it?' Zhou Ran exclaimed excitedly.
Upon seeing this object, the Dark Star Wolf Dog and the Thunder Tiger were once again overcome by a terrifying sense of fear, their fur standing on end, and they even knelt down in fright.
'Wow... this is so exaggerated...' Zhou Ran was stunned.
The system remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, 'This is the golden egg of the ancient Purple-Gold Dragon God.'
'The Dragon God's egg? Holy crap, that's a fortune!' Zhou Ran's eyes sparkled with excitement as he danced around.
'Purple-gold Dragon God! The ancestor of all dragon-type beasts on the continent, whose bloodline surpasses all other beasts!' the system said, its tone slightly emotional.
Zhou Ran understood why this object had caused the beasts to react as if they had seen a ghost, but he was also deeply puzzled. If it was an ancient Dragon God, it should have been dead for ages—why was there still an egg left behind...
Could the creature from earlier be the Dragon God?
No, that's impossible! It's just a half-dragon!
Zhou Ran fell into deep thought.
'How much is it worth?' Zhou Ran suddenly asked.
'It can't be measured in money. If we had to estimate, it's at least ten billion!' the system replied.
'...'
Zhou Ran was completely stunned. What did ten billion even mean? That was a million points!
Just as Zhou Ran was immersed in unparalleled joy, the dragon god's golden egg suddenly emitted a purple glow, instantly dyeing the shop purple.
The Dark Star Wolfhound and Thunder Tiger kneeling beside him were in immense pain, their bodies convulsing violently.
Zhou Ran jumped in surprise. What was going on?
At that moment, the two beasts underwent a drastic transformation at a visible speed.
Except for the tip of its tail, the Dark Star Wolf Dog's fur had turned entirely purple. The blood-red star on its forehead had transformed into a purple-gold moon, and its eyes had become one red and one purple. Its body had grown dozens of times larger. If not for the protective barrier activated by the system to shrink it, the entire shop would have been destroyed.
The Blue-Gold Thunder Tiger's fur also turned black-gold, with the character 'Thunder' on its forehead emitting black light, and rolling black lightning coiling around its body, exuding immense authority.
'Holy crap! It mutated again?' Zhou Ran witnessed the entire mutation process and took a deep breath.
The two beasts, which had initially been afraid, now showed reverence, lying around the Dragon God's golden egg.
Zhou Ran immediately threw out the Pet Appraisal Instrument.

"This, this, this..."
Zhou Ran couldn't believe it. In an instant, both beasts had mutated into ninth-tier bloodlines. The crucial point was that his 'Husky' had become the strongest among canine beasts...
This meant it not only possessed the abilities of a ninth-tier bloodline but might even evolve into a divine beast-tier.
As for the Apocalypse Thunder Tiger, though not the strongest among tiger-type beasts, it was still among the top three, with unquestionable power.
"Oh my! What else is there to sell? These two treasures! From now on, we'll rely on you two." Zhou Ran was overjoyed, rubbing the dog's head with his left hand and the tiger's head with his right, smiling so widely his mouth couldn't close.
"By the way, System, this Dragon God's Golden Egg actually has this function too?" Zhou Ran asked.
"This is the Dragon God's blessing! Selected by the Dragon God to be granted immense power, it also signifies that these two beasts will become the Dragon God's guardians." The system said solemnly.
'We're rich! Just by bringing any beast here to bathe in this purple light, it can become this powerful!' Zhou Ran laughed.
'Don't even think about it. These two are the Dragon God's chosen guardians; only two can be obtained. No other beasts are possible.' The system spoke bluntly.
"Alright…" Zhou Ran was a bit disappointed.
"Since it's an egg, it should be possible to hatch it, right?" Zhou Ran asked.
"Place the Dragon God's golden egg into the incubation pool. As for how long it will take, that's uncertain, since this egg has been around for far too long." The system explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ran immediately rushed into the breeding room with the egg and placed it in the incubation pool.
The dimly lit incubation pool instantly turned purple, forming a vortex that constantly swirled around the Dragon God's golden egg.
The Snow Woman Beast was sleeping soundly on the breeding platform. At that moment, a streak of purple light surged into her brow, which Zhou Ran happened to notice.
