    Upon hearing David''s instructions, the five of them nodded and each took ten low-grade crystals back to their rooms. The reason for this was that during the intense battles with the Eyesore and the snake spirit, David realized a weakness hidden within the Embers team, which was that the members had generally low levels.


    This meant that when facing opponents of higher levels or stronger power, only David himself could pose a real threat. He also knew that if they didn''t seize the opportunity to solve this problem, it would be a great challenge to the fighting capability of the Embers team. It could even directly lower their team''s fighting power, making enemy like sitting ducks in the face of danger. Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, David had to ensure that the team members broke through their level bottlenecks with the help of crystals.


    Soon, Sally excitedly walked out of her room first. She looked at David and eximed, "I leveled up! I''m now a Level 4 esper!" Before her words could settle, the others also came out of their rooms, their faces filled with excitement.


    It turned out that, under the insights gained from the battle, each member of the Embers team had increased theirprehension, vaguely crossing the bottleneck of leveling up. With the ten low-grade crystals that David had given them, they could instantly break through this bottleneck.


    "This is unbelievable! I wondered why my heart was constantly being stirred during the battle. It turns out I leveled up," Arnold said in amazement as he felt his stronger body. The others also experienced the profound changes within themselves and were filled with joy.


    This made David nod in appreciation. He didn''t expect them to level up so quickly. He decided to take advantage of the momentum and once again took out 100 low-grade crystals from the storage space and handed them to the five of them. He reminded them that this was theirst chance to level up using the low-grade crystals, and they had to make good use of it. He wouldn''t provide them with any more in the future; they would have to find their own way to obtain crystals. Being strong from within was true strength. Everyone nodded in agreement.


    They knew that after using twenty low-grade crystals, if they wanted to level up by consuming crystals, they would have to use medium-grade crystals or even hunt zombies to improve during battles. So, with confidence on their faces, they believed they could quickly break through their current levels once again.


    Next, they sat in the base,ughing and chatting, sweeping away the crisis-filled atmosphere of their daily lives. They suddenly felt that this world hadn''t been invaded by zombies and it wasn''t an apocalypse. The long-lost warmth filled the base and was evident on everyone''s faces. As they chatted, Little ck, who had been keeping watch outside, suddenly started barking wildly. So they took the opportunity to go out and deal with some low-level zombies, with Sally and Duke handling them. The purpose was to train theirbat abilities.


    Although Duke was a long-range esper, with the help of shadow maniption, he could also perform close-range kills on enemies. Soon, there were more zombie bodies around Gary''s corpse. David also obtained a dozen low-grade crystals. He distributed all these low-grade crystals to the members of the team because they needed them more than he did at the moment.


    It was already dark when David called Little ck back. "Great job today, Little ck! I''ll stew a big bone for youter!" David said, patting Little ck''s head.


    Upon hearing that it would be given a big bone, Little ck instantly became happy, wagging its tail and spinning around David. On the other hand, C, who was loungingzily, showed a disdainful expression. It nced at David and then went back to sleep on the sofa.


    At the same time, David took out the Beast Pill he had obtained from the snake spirit''s body. Looking at the still-glowing Beast Pill, David pondered. ording to the system''s exnation, if a beast consumed this Beast Pill, it could level up and also obtain random special abilities.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    It was obviously tailor-made for C and Little ck. However, David hesitated, unsure whom to give the Beast Pill to. He looked at C, who waszily napping on the sofa, then nced at Little ck circling around him. After a brief moment of contemtion, he decided to feed the Beast Pill to Little ck.


    After all, C had already reached the Transcendent level, while Little ck was still at the Commanding level. There was a one-level difference between them, resulting in an imbnce of power. In the previous battles, it was mostly Little ck who faced suppression from the opponents, and it was only when C made a move that the crisis was resolved.


    This inadvertently increased the risk of injury for C. As David''s precious beast, he didn''t want C, who could only be a Void-level beast, to face any danger. The loss would be too great for him. So he decided to share some of the future dangers with Little ck, which would also help alleviate the pressure on C.


    At the same time, David also felt that C''s advancement was much faster than Little ck''s. Even without the Beast Pill, C''s strength was already unmatched by ordinary beasts. Thinking of this, David no longer hesitated. After cing the Beast Pill in his palm, he called Little ck over.


    "Little ck,e here quickly. Once you eat this Beast Pill, you can level up! You will be a Transcendent-level Hellhound!" Upon hearing David''s words, Little ck quickly approached, sniffed the Beast Pill in his hand, and then opened its mouth to swallow the entire pill.


    Just as the Beast Pill entered Little ck''s body, the radiance emitted from the Beas pill increased. Little ck''s visible changes were happening at a rapid pace. Not only did its size double, but its fur also became even tougher. Its teeth became sharper as well. It even grew two terrifying fangs that made people shudder. In the blink of an eye, Little ck exuded an endless aura from the void.


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host''s beast, Little ck, for leveling up to the Transcendent level!]


    Sure enough, the system''s prompt quickly sounded in David''s ears. Although he had anticipated this result long ago, seeing Little ck truly level up, David couldn''t hide his excitement. With this, Little ck and C were even closer to the Demon King level. When they both became Demon King-level beasts, he would truly have an invincible force. David excitedly rubbed Little ck''s erged head, his face filled with anticipation.


    [Ding! Congrattions to the host''s beast, Little ck, for obtaining a random special ability!]


    [Random special ability in progress!]
