Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 162 Ancient Species

Although the terracotta warrior had been smashed beyond recognition by Li Xusheng, Bai Qi, adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, still collected the body of the general terracotta warrior and kept it for later study.

"The guardian, who should have been in the third level, has suddenly moved to the second level. You can imagine how difficult the next level will be, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

Wang Huai looked around and said, "Xu Sheng can't fight intensely for now, so I'll handle the next challenge. You all observe carefully, and even if you can't pass, at least gather information about the opponent and bring it back for analysis."

"Yes."

Tang Miao and the others nodded in unison, clearly understanding the difficulty of the next level.

Wang Huai patted Bai Qi and said, "Bai Qi, you're not a member of our special operations team, so you should prioritize your own safety later. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to Minister Yi."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Bai Qi nodded. Wang Huai and the others had obviously prepared a strategy before entering, but they were still in a somewhat disheveled state. Now, they were facing a lack of information, so it was indeed unnecessary for a mere third-tier beast tamer like him to show his face.

However, if he were to encounter an enemy like the General Terracotta Warrior, which was engraved with runes he had never seen before, he wouldn't hesitate to take action.

Otherwise, if Li Xusheng were to take action, things would probably become a mess again.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but look at Li Xusheng, only to find that Li Xusheng's state seemed somewhat unstable, his eyes constantly switching between madness and calmness.

Is this a side effect of using blood-based superpowers?

Bai Qi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He took out a green dragon scale and handed it to Li Xusheng, saying, "Try holding this; it might be of some help to you."

Li Xusheng was taken aback upon hearing this, clearly somewhat surprised, but after sensing the powerful vitality on the green dragon scales, he still accepted them.

"Thanks."

With the help of the green dragon scales, Li Xusheng's condition clearly returned to normal.

"Bai Qi, are these dragon scales?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "Mm."

Wang Huai and the others exchanged glances, silently associating Bai Qi with rich second-generation heirs or even legendary second-generation heirs.

Sure enough, the rumors that Bai Qi is a descendant of the Minghuang Legend are true. Otherwise, how could he have researched rune evolution and cultivated such a powerful pet beast?

However, judging from the way Bai Qi can casually take out dragon scales, the rumor that he is Bai Qichuan's illegitimate son seems more credible.

About half an hour later, Li Xusheng finished resting, returned the green dragon scale to Bai Qi, and the group continued on their way.

This time, however, before the group had gone far, the entire training ground suddenly began to shake violently, and the ground not far away suddenly collapsed, revealing a deep and huge passage.

"Everyone, be on guard."

Upon seeing this, Wang Huai's eyes sharpened, and he immediately signaled the others to be on guard.

Roar……

Soon, the tremors on the ground stopped, and faint growls of wild beasts echoed from within the passage. At the same time, a terrifying pressure descended upon the group.

This aura is that of a ferocious beast!

The group exchanged glances and immediately summoned their respective pets. The Baili brothers huddled together, red and blue runes appearing on their foreheads, clearly preparing for a full-force attack.

Finally, accompanied by a strong stench of blood, a huge saber-toothed tiger slowly walked out of the passage. Its sharp vertical pupils swept over Wang Huai and the others, and it unconsciously licked its lips.

They're treating them like food!

"Desert and Vast Ocean, Combined Attack!"

"clear!"

Upon hearing Wang Huai's command, the Baili brothers surprisingly did not pause and responded in unison. The red and blue runes on their foreheads immediately shone brightly, forming a red and blue double fish pattern in the air.

Then, the Black Flame Serpent and the White Ice Python immediately became entangled and rushed towards the Pisces pattern.

The moment the Black Flame Serpent and the White Ice Python passed through the Pisces pattern, their entire bodies suddenly changed, transforming into a giant dragon with a single red and blue horn.

Holy crap, what kind of talent is this?! He can even transform into a dragon?!

If these two brothers were to elevate me to Legendary rank, wouldn't that mean I could transform into a dragon?

Are all the members of this special forces team so incredibly talented?!

However, the Water-Fire Dragon's condition seemed unstable, and it showed signs of collapse after passing through the Pisces pattern. But the Baili brothers obviously did not intend to let it transform into a dragon, and tacitly pointed to the saber-toothed tiger.

"Twin Impact!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Water-Fire Flood Dragon opened its huge mouth and spewed a two-colored energy wave at the Saber-toothed Tiger, the power of which was no less than that of the Thunder Flame Power.

Water and fire are inherently incompatible, but if they can be combined, their combined power is no less than that of thunder and fire. Coupled with the advantage of level, if the husky were to clash with it, even if it were standing on the right, it probably wouldn't be a match for it.

However, the fusion speed is too slow and it is easy to evade.

Sure enough, at the same time the water and fire dragons merged, the saber-toothed tiger had already noticed the anomaly and was prepared to dodge in advance. Even though the twin impact was extremely fast, it still managed to dodge it, only getting a minor scratch.

Roar! ! !

As soon as it appeared, the saber-toothed tiger was clearly enraged. It roared to the sky, and a black gust of wind swept through the training ground.

"Beta, do you have the data?"

"No matching illustration could be found in the database, but judging from the energy fluctuation reaction, this should be a fifth-tier monarch creature."

"A fifth-tier monarch?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this, and after seeing the constantly flashing detection instruments of Wang Huai and the others, he was even more certain of this.

"Everyone be careful! This is a fifth-tier monarch-level ferocious beast! And it might even be an ancient species!"

Wang Huai's expression was solemn. He placed the Barrier Treant in front of everyone, and at the same time, green runes flashed on his forehead. The Barrier Treant immediately grew rapidly at a visible speed, with countless branches spreading and intertwining, quickly forming a huge wall.

At the same time, Tang Miao also activated his talent and merged with the Sky-Slaying Mantis, thus becoming a fusion talent user as well.

For beast tamers who spend most of their time wandering in the wild, fusion talent is actually the most suitable, at least when encountering enemies they can't defeat, both the pet and the beast tamer can escape together.

As for Li Xusheng, he directly entered the four-armor fusion form and silently waited for the right opportunity.

Seeing this, Bai Qi also summoned all three of his pet beasts.

On the way, he also learned why the Thirteenth Bureau didn't send a higher-level beast tamer.

The reason is simple: this training ground adjusts the guardian's level based on the participant's level and status, and after the fourth tier, the difference in both energy and skills is terrifying.

Therefore, after analysis by the Strategic Department of the Thirteenth Bureau, the fourth rank is the most appropriate level.

But who could have imagined that they would encounter such a powerful enemy?

The fifth level represents a qualitative leap in energy value.

The "King-level" status signifies that the other party can exert suppression over them across racial boundaries.

The ancient species, on the other hand, indicate that they had absolutely no information and could only figure things out on their own.

It can be said that their only advantage in this battle is their numbers, but numbers are the least useful when facing higher-level life forms.

As expected, the vine walls of the Barrier Treeman did not last long under the cutting of the black wind, and soon several cracks were cut in them. Although Wang Huai tried his best to repair them, he was obviously struggling to keep up.

Seeing this, Li Xusheng and Tang Miao exchanged a glance and went around the vine wall to attack the saber-toothed tiger, while the Baili brothers began to prepare for the next wave of attacks.

The saber-toothed tiger's evasive behavior just now showed that it was still very wary of the twin attack of the Baili brothers, and they naturally knew very well what to do.

"Alpha, you go help with the attack. Shuke Beta, provide ranged support and find its weaknesses. Gamma, you... well... you go help the Barrier Treant defend."

Seeing that the special forces team was all in the zone, Bai Qi felt bad about being idle and assigned tasks to the three-headed pet beasts one after another.

Crackling.

(Boss, can we go all out on the attack?)

Woof woof woof woof!

(This dog hates cats the most!)

Click-clack?

(Is it time to eat again?)

The three-headed beast muttered something in Bai Qi's mind for a while, and then quickly got into the zone.

Awoo awoo!

With a wolf howl, everyone present, including their pets, felt a surge of energy, as if they had inexhaustible strength. On the other hand, the saber-toothed tiger's roar paused briefly, clearly affected by the sudden change.

Demon-Slaying Roar, a group buffing battle cry, finally came in handy today.

Upon seeing that Bai Qi's second pet actually possessed such a skill, Wang Huai's eyes lit up. While maintaining his proliferation talent, he also cast a vitality aura on everyone.

With the double pet buff, everyone's condition reached its peak. Alpha even turned into a blur, bypassing Li Xusheng and Tang Miao who had set off earlier, and arrived in front of the saber-toothed tiger first.

What a great speed!

Tang Miao raised an eyebrow. Her Sky-Slaying Mantis was originally a speed-type, and its speed would increase even more after fusion. However, it was easily overtaken by Alpha. Is it normal for this guy to have no pets at all?

Thinking of this, Tang Miao couldn't help but turn around and look at Bai Qi, only to find that Bai Qi still looked indifferent, as if this was a matter of course.

Alpha, already a speed-mutated beast, became even more monstrous with the double buffs. However, Bai Qi hadn't expected it to surpass two fourth-tier fusion talent beast tamers.

However, this is the only way to justify all the painstaking and exhausting training I've put in day and night.

Seeing that three small insects dared to attack him despite his overwhelming ferocity, the saber-toothed tiger's pent-up rage, accumulated over countless years, suddenly erupted. With a swipe of its giant claw, countless black wind blades roared out and attacked the three.

Upon seeing this, Tang Miao immediately dodged, displaying the mantis's powerful explosive force to its fullest extent. Li Xusheng, on the other hand, directly activated his superpower, condensing a pair of blood-red wings and taking flight.

As for Alpha, it stubbornly summoned dozens of ice crystal barriers to forcibly block, but it couldn't even hold them off for a moment. They all turned into ice crystals and spread out, quickly covering the entire training ground under the influence of the gale.

Alpha, which should have been cut into pieces by the wind blades, was nowhere to be found.
