Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 178 The Legend of the Mechanical Title - Starlight

Just as Bai Qi was racking his brains for a way to escape, a huge portal suddenly appeared in the void above their heads, from which a dazzling light shone. Through the bright light, a human-shaped figure could be vaguely seen.

This strange phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the mountain giant, and Bai Qi also stopped Alpha, staring blankly at the sky.

Holy crap, Giant of Light!

Is the power of faith really that strong? It actually summoned it!

Soon, the giant of light in Bai Qi's eyes emerged from the gate, and the surrounding bright light disappeared, revealing the giant's true appearance: a huge humanoid machine.

The machine was made entirely of black metal, with a long spear made of the same material strapped to its back, and its massive body could be seen to occasionally shimmer with starlight.

Bai Qi glanced at it briefly and was shocked to find that this humanoid machine was no less powerful than the mountain giant. Compared to it, Xia Yan's primordial beast god was like a child compared to an adult.

"Starlight, a large black machine, could it be...?"

Looking at the enormous machine blocking their way, Bai Qi muttered to himself for a moment, and soon figured out where it came from.

The idol of all mechanics, one of the strongest in the Federation, the legendary title holder of the Mechanical Department, "Starlight" - Wang Chen.

This excessively large humanoid machine is none other than Morning Star, a strategic-level mechanical creation sharing the same title as Wang Chen.

It is said that this Morning Star is made entirely of special substances found inside meteorites, and all its attributes have reached the current top level. Looking at the Federation, its strength ranks among the top three.

But why would a legendary figure like Starlight suddenly appear in the First Emperor's Secret Realm? Did he know they were in danger, or did something happen in the First Emperor's Secret Realm?

While Bai Qi was making wild guesses, Starlight had already engaged the Mountain Giant in battle.

With just a single punch, Bai Qi and the others were blown away by the gust of wind it generated, without any power to resist, but they also managed to leave the area of ​​gravity.

"What should we do now?"

Looking at the starlight and mountain giants fighting not far away, Wang Huai and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

"We don't seem to have much of a choice, do we?"

Bai Qi shrugged. The only way to the entrance was blocked by starlight and mountain giants. If they risked going through, their small bodies probably wouldn't be enough to withstand a single step from them.

Otherwise, he really wanted to pet those two legendary pets and fill up the progress bar for the Silver Egg.

As for staying here, well...

To put it bluntly, they are basically useless here except for offering sacrifices to the heavens.

"Then let's keep looking for the next entrance. The mountain giants have already appeared; there can't be two more..."

Before Feng Ye could finish speaking, Ma Ge and Li Sha covered their mouths, while the members of the Thirteenth Bureau looked at Feng Ye with apprehension.

This guy's mouth is more powerful than a core weapon; he can even shout out the names of legendary creatures.

I feel like if there's ever a conflict with a beast tribe, just send this guy over and give him a good talking-to, and he should be able to wipe out the entire tribe.

Thinking of this, everyone in the Thirteenth Bureau nodded in unison.

Okay, let's do it this way!

"Let's figure out how to get over this huge pit first. The area affected by those two's battle seems to be expanding as well."

Bai Qi glanced at the Morning Star and the Mountain Giant, whose destructive range was growing larger and larger, and immediately gave a warning.

"Sister Li, can you open your spatial portal?"

Li Sha shook her head and said, "Moonshadow Cat seems to be frightened and can't use its skills."

Xia Yan said, "Leave this to us."

The pink-clad warrior immediately understood, summoned his pterodactyl, put everyone on his back, and headed towards the pit. The others also put away their pets.

While it's called a large pit, the collapse caused by the mountain giant rising up is more accurately described as a ravine.

Besides the part where the mountain giants left, the earth on both sides also cracked open, extending into a long ravine.

At the bottom of this ravine, one can vaguely see black magma slowly flowing within it.

"Black lava?"

Bai Qi frowned upon seeing this. While magma does turn dark red when its temperature reaches a certain level, this was the first time he had ever seen it black.

Moreover, for some reason, Bai Qi felt that these magmas were somewhat similar to Alpha's Breath of Decay.

No, it needs to be even purer.

The others also noticed the strangeness of the lava, but their current task was not to study the lava, but to find the entrance, so they only glanced at it and then paid no more attention.

Before they could even pass through the crevice, the black magma inside suddenly began to churn violently, with bubbles bursting and even splashing some magma onto the pterosaur's claws.

"Report to the captain, the pterosaur's claws have been corroded by an unknown substance and are damaged."

The pink-clad warriors immediately reported their current status, and before Xia Yan could respond, the pterosaur seemed to lose control and plummeted straight into the lava.

"What's going on?!"

Everyone was immediately alarmed upon seeing this. Feng Ye immediately summoned the Earth Elemental to reduce the pterosaur's gravity, and Alpha also used Gravity Amplification to help the Earth Elemental. Li Sha's Moonshadow Cat also finally released its skill, creating a huge passage under the pterosaur.

Then, just as everyone relaxed, the black magma below suddenly exploded, and magma rained down on them.

"Damn it!"

The lava came so suddenly that Moonshadow Cat didn't have time to create another spatial passage for defense, and the earth elemental only had time to split off a clump of rubble from its body to resist it, but it only held out for a moment before being annihilated.

What the hell is this lava? It's terrifying!

Seeing the lava getting closer and closer to them, Li Xusheng immediately stepped forward and slashed his arm, causing a spray of blood that formed a wall of blood in front of everyone.

The black magma was blocked by the blood wall, but the blood wall turned pitch black at a visible speed, and the magma even seemed to be alive, spreading along the blood towards Li Xusheng.

Clearly, if these black substances were to spread to Li Xusheng, his fate would likely be the same as those rubble.

"Alpha, go help!"

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately sent Alpha to help. With a single swing of the Withering Sword, Alpha severed the connection between Li Xusheng and the Blood Wall. At the same time, the Breath of Withering spewed out, attempting to cool the magma.

If these magmas are indeed similar to what Bai Qi sensed, and have similar properties to the Breath of Wither, then theoretically the Breath of Wither should be able to block them for a while.

This time, the black lava finally stopped moving, and Li Xusheng fell to the ground, only managing to stand up with the help of Wang Huai.

Although his constitution is different from that of ordinary people, and he can even bleed out all his blood without dying immediately, the prerequisite is that the bleed must be collected back.

Now, all this blood has been corroded by the black substance and merged into the magma; it is clearly irretrievable.

While Bai used the Breath of Withering to resist the black magma, the pink-clad warrior took the opportunity to make the pterodactyl fall into the Moonshadow Cat's spatial passage.

Once they pass through the spatial passage, they will reach the other side and be safe.

Then, at that moment, the black magma that was still locked in a stalemate with the Breath of Decay suddenly exploded and splashed towards Bai Qi. Alpha immediately tried to swing his sword to block it, but suddenly his movements froze, and he collapsed to the ground, only able to watch helplessly as the black magma rushed towards Bai Qi.

Click-clack?

(What does it taste like? I don't think I've ever had it before?)

Just then, Gamma, who had fallen asleep because he was no longer needed, slowly woke up. Upon seeing the sky filled with black lava, he instinctively expanded his body to envelop Bai Qi.

The black lava landed on Gamma, and hissing sounds immediately emanated from his body. His once radiant body began to shrivel at a visible speed.

Bai Qi even felt that the connection between him and Gamma was becoming increasingly weak.

This black magma is plundering Gamma's life force!

Crackling!

(Boss, get out of here right now!)

Alpha managed to stand up and pushed Bai Qi into the spatial passage. Bai Qi instantly appeared on the other side of the rift, and immediately recalled both pets into the pet space and used the Evolution Egg.

Since he obtained the Evolution Egg, no matter what injury Alpha suffers, he will be completely restored as long as he uses the Evolution Egg once.

Therefore, Bai Qi immediately thought of using this method to resolve the abnormality between the two.

Just as the silver egg was formed, a black tinge spread across its shell, covering most of it in just a few seconds.

At the same time, the main body of the Evolution Egg seemed to sense the threat, and began to tremble, radiating a dazzling silver light that washed away the black on the eggshell, and the black actually slowed down its spread.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately reacted, gripping the green dragon scales tightly with both hands and continuously adding silver eggs to his two pets.

After countless Silver Eggs were added, the black substance finally stopped spreading on the eggshells of the two pets, and the main body of the Evolution Egg finally calmed down.

"We're saved..."

After confirming that the Silver Eggs of his two pets were in stable condition, Bai Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground. Looking at the green dragon scales in his hand, whose light had dimmed considerably, he was filled with emotion.

The cowardly dragon really saved his life this time. If it weren't for the green dragon scales, and if he had used the evolution egg recklessly like he did just now, he probably would have lost his life.

When I go back this time, I must properly thank it.

"Bai Qi, are you alright?"

Feng Ye nervously approached Bai Qi and whispered his question, while Wang Huai summoned a flower fairy to help Bai Qi recover, but his expression was full of worry.

Although they didn't know what the black lava was, the pterodactyls that were about to stop had already demonstrated the terrifying nature of this black substance.

This thing seems capable of killing even energy!
