Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 159, Chapter 158: The First Emperor's Terracotta Warriors

Alpha did as he was told, carrying the sleeping Gamma in one arm and dragging the flesh and blood near the Golden Ring of the Sawtooth Earthworm King back to Bai Qi's side with the other.

Unlike the body that had been completely turned into jerky, the flesh and blood near the golden ring remained alive.

Moreover, it is quite obvious that the closer to the golden ring on the skin, the stronger the activity, and it is even gradually generating new flesh and blood.

Earth Ring, an epic-level material.

Seeing Bai Qi effortlessly find the most valuable item on the Sawtooth Earthworm King, Wang Huai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I thought you were some kind of academic beast tamer, Bai Qi. Your skills are even better than Xu Sheng's."

Bai Qi smiled faintly. Ever since he learned that the Evolution Egg could obtain skills from the core of a ferocious beast, Bai Qi had spent the most time in the resource processing class. Whether it was theory or practice, he was the most outstanding young man in the entire training camp.

However, Bai Qi did not intend to keep it for himself. He glanced at Alpha, and Alpha immediately cut the Golden Ring of Earth into six equal parts, keeping only one for himself. Bai Qi then handed the rest to Wang Huai.

Although he has never actually been outdoors, he is aware of some established rules and conventions.

Loot from enemies defeated independently belongs to the individual; loot from enemies defeated collaboratively is divided equally among all contributors, except for a few particularly valuable items which belong to the person who contributed the most.

At least during the training camp, this was how they handled any team battles.

This massive earth ring is over ten meters long, and even if it's divided into six parts, it's enough for Gamma to use.

After all, it's just an epic-level material, so there's no need to be so fussy. Besides, judging from the looks of it, we're probably going to encounter quite a few ferocious beasts later on.

A slow and steady flow...

Seeing this, Wang Huai did not refuse and readily accepted the Golden Rings of Earth, handing them out to Li Xusheng and the others one by one.

Thank you.

Li Xusheng remained as taciturn as ever, offering only a brief reply before falling silent, while Tang Miao seemed quite pleased.

"Thank you! This huge piece of gold must be worth a lot of money. I can finally buy the bag I had my eye on last time!"

Tang Miao accepted the Golden Ring of Earth, her eyes filled with excitement.

"What you're thinking..."

"Too many."

The Baili brothers each said half a sentence, directly pouring cold water on Tang Miao, and then they both looked at Bai Qi.

"Thank you for..."

"Golden Ring of Earth"

"From now on, we will be..."

"We're good friends now."

Watching the two brothers' seamless conversation, Bai Qi couldn't help but twitch his lips and chuckle, "No need to be so polite, but is this how you two always talk?"

"That's right, what is it...?"

"Is there a problem?"

Under the curious gaze of the Baili brothers, Bai Qi scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Ahem, no problem, it's fine."

Seeing this, Wang Huai smiled and said, "These brothers have always talked like this since they were little. You'll get used to it eventually. But their teamwork is quite good."

Bai Qi nodded. There was indeed a connection between twin brothers that ordinary people did not have. They were naturally more in sync than others when they cooperated. Judging from the Baili brothers' appearance, they were probably among the best.

They even shared half of their sentences, so you can imagine how well they coordinated.

Having resolved the issue of distributing the spoils, the group prepared to set off again.

The journey of more than 20 kilometers is not far for beast tamers, but there were ferocious beasts along the way, so it still took them quite a while to arrive at the entrance of the training ground.

As they could see from a distance, the training ground was made entirely of black metal, with ancient runes engraved on the walls. Bai Qi could vaguely make out some of them, but they were somewhat different from the runes he had come into contact with, so he couldn't be sure if they were correct.

"According to information from other groups, you will be attacked in three waves after entering. The specific types of attacks are uncertain and should be randomly generated. The level will be assigned based on the challenger's level."

Wang Huai paused for a moment and said, "Because of Bai Qi, our team actually has an advantage. Everyone, rest for half an hour to recover your strength and adjust your condition, and then we'll set off."

"yes!"

Li Xusheng and the others accepted the order and then sat down on the ground at the entrance of the training ground, taking out the supplies they carried with them to replenish their strength.

Although they deliberately conserved their energy, the sheer number of ferocious beasts along the way caused their condition to decline, so they naturally needed to replenish their energy.

Especially for beast tamers like Li Xusheng with fusion talents, even with the bonus from their pets, they still have to fight personally, which consumes a lot of energy.

Looking at the whole team, Bai Qi was actually the most relaxed.

Alpha has long been capable of independent combat, and Bai Qi rarely participates in battles except for occasionally issuing some orders.

Furthermore, he spent almost the entire time sitting on the Barrier Treeman, without even needing to walk, making it practically no different from a sightseeing trip.

Even so, Bai Qi did not stand out from the crowd. He took out an Angel Fruit from his secret realm ring and started eating it, just like everyone else.

The moment Bai Qi took out the Angel Fruit, Tang Miao unconsciously sniffed it and turned her head to look at Bai Qi.

"Angel Fruit?!"

Tang Miao moved closer to Bai Qi, examined him carefully, and then couldn't help but complain.

"Captain, didn't you say our special forces unit has the best treatment? Look at this!"

Seeing this, Wang Huai gave a wry smile and said, "The special operations team does indeed have the best benefits, I'm not lying to you, but Bai Qi, this..."

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this, then took out a few more from the secret realm and handed them to Tang Miao, saying, "Do you want to eat them? I have some more."

Ever since the Emerald Dragon started to enjoy gardening, the Angel Fruit, which Bai Qi used to eat sparingly, has become no different from an apple.

If I had to point out a difference, well... maybe the Angel Fruit tastes a little better?

Tang Miao stared blankly at the Angel Fruit in her hand and asked, "Captain, is it too late for me to leave the team now?"

"Give up, or I might run ahead of you."

Wang Huai shook his head with a wry smile, distributed the Angel Fruits to the others, and said, "Thank you. With these, everyone can fight with all their might. As for the expenses, I will get reimbursed from above once we're out there."

Unlike the previous spoils of war, this Angel Fruit was Bai Qi's personal property, and he couldn't just accept it casually; he still had to calculate the costs.

"Okay, I have more if that's not enough."

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't make a fuss. Anyway, Wang Huai would reimburse him, so he didn't mind contributing a little to his household expenses.

"Okay, I'll contact you again if I need anything."

Hearing Bai Qi's words, Wang Huai sighed helplessly. Angel Fruits costing hundreds of thousands of yuan each were simply too expensive for him to afford.

……

With the help of the Angel Fruit, the group recovered their strength in less than half an hour, and their pets also finished resting.

"Let's get started."

Wang Huai stood up, glanced at the team members behind him, and pushed open the gate to the training ground.

The moment the group entered the training ground, the runes on the walls lit up, and two platforms suddenly rose up in the previously empty training ground. On the opposite platform, a row of stone figures holding bows and arrows stood neatly.

Wang Huai glanced at them a few times and quickly made a judgment. Then he looked at the Baili brothers and said, "This is a test of long-range attack. The desert and the vast sea are yours to handle."

"No problem, leave it to..."

"Let's do it."

The two responded in unison, then summoned their respective pets and stepped onto the platform.

buzzing...

As soon as the two stepped onto the platform, runes lit up on the previously dilapidated archer terracotta warrior. Then, it drew its bow, nocked an arrow, and fired in one smooth motion.

Despite the rain of arrows, the Baili brothers remained calm. The Black Flame Serpent and the White Ice Python attacked and defended respectively, without feeling any pressure.

Is this a rune golem?

No, the rune golems are a bit more complex than this, but these stone golems seem to be stronger.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and immediately summoned the husky.

"Shuke, write down those runes and study them later."

"clear."

Shuke nodded, his electronic eyes fixed on the stone figures, and began to record.

"Is this your second pet? A mechanical type?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "I just happened to see some runes I've never seen before, so it will be more convenient to have it record them."

Tang Miao nodded upon hearing this, and looking at Beta, who looked like he hadn't woken up yet, her girlish heart began to flutter again.

Seeing this, Wang Huai sighed helplessly, coughed twice, and said, "Ahem, Tang Miao, be mindful of the occasion."

"All right……"

Tang Miao pouted and reluctantly looked away.

boom!

Just then, a loud bang came from the platform. The Baili brothers, who had been fighting with ease, were suddenly breached by a thick crossbow bolt, and the two were exposed to a rain of arrows.

Swish!

Seeing this, Li Xusheng, who was already prepared, flashed to the side of the two, pulled them up and leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding the rain of arrows.

The archer terracotta warriors didn't seem to have any intention of giving chase. They stopped pursuing the three after they left the platform, but the runes on their bodies all turned red.

"It still triggered."

Wang Huai's expression was solemn. The intelligence report mentioned that if any outsider interfered with the assessment process, these stone figures would be in a berserk state, and both their attack and defense attributes would double.

As the only two ranged attackers in the team, even the Baili brothers couldn't defeat the Stone Warrior in its normal state, and it would be even more difficult after it went berserk.

"Xu Sheng, try to force a breakthrough later."

After thinking for a while, Wang Huai looked at Li Xusheng, who seemed to have already prepared himself mentally, and picked up his double hammers to jump onto the platform.

"Um, this requires a ranged attack to get through, right?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately spoke up, saying, "Perfect, this guy is best at ranged attacks, let him give it a try."

"this……"

Wang Huai hesitated. Although Bai Qi's previous performance was indeed good, and the mechanical type was indeed very good at ranged attacks, judging from the appearance of this pet beast, it did not seem to be carrying too many mechanical weapons. He was really unsure.

But Li Xuseng is indeed a melee attacker, and it's uncertain whether there will be any other punishment mechanisms if we just go head-to-head with him.

Wang Huai thought for a while, wavering between Bai Qi and Li Xusheng for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, saying, "Then Xusheng, you should wait a little longer."

Upon hearing Wang Huai's order, Li Xusheng's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he stepped aside.

Seeing this, Bai Qi patted Shuke and Beta on the head and asked, "Have you recorded everything?"

"It's been recorded."

"That's good, then tear them all down!"
