The two beasts that had been preparing for their upcoming evolution were surprisingly Saint beasts.
One was a snake. But instead of being a regular black snake, it was one with nebulous red and brown patterns on its body.
The other one was a turtle, with a green tinge around its flippers. Its body had a spotted pattern as well, but the color was so close to black that it was hard to notice it if one wasn't looking for it.
Alex asked the matriarch why they had been chosen. He was especially curious why they were Saints.
"Beasts that are weaker than Saint tend to not have gone through enough development to improve their chances at surviving an evolution. And if they are an Immortal, their bloodline tends to become a little less flexible than before."
"As such, for the changes we seek to see, a Saint beast happens to be our perfect subject."
Alex raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Does that mean it's a bad idea to try and improve an Immortal's bloodline?"
