Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 185 A Boon for Those with Decision-Making Difficulties

Soon, eight pet beasts stopped in front of Bai Qi, all standing obediently, waiting for Bai Qi to make a choice.

[Name]: Flame Tail Fox

[Attribute]: Fire

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Description]: It has a gorgeous appearance and is enough to charm other creatures just by standing there. But once it gets angry, the flames on its tail are enough to burn all enemies.

……

[Name]: Ghost Cat

[Attribute]: Undead

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: After becoming a ghost, Ghost Cat's movements become even more agile, often able to kill several people unintentionally, making it a master of sneak attacks.

……

[Name]: Earthfire Demon Lizard

[Attribute]: Fire

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Introduction]: Skilled in camouflage, possessing formidable physical defense, and boasting super-fast regeneration. Their primary attack method is poison, which quickly causes those poisoned to lose control of their bodies. In addition to poison, they can also breathe fire from the ground.

……

【Name】：Wings of the Gale

[Attribute]: Flying

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: Griffins ride the gales and soar through the sky. They fly at extremely high speeds. Although they are good at controlling the wind, their close combat ability is also quite impressive.

……

Name: Four-Winged Dragon Eagle

[Attribute]: Flying

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Introduction]: A dragon-blooded species, its dragon bloodline grants it superior defense and stamina, making it adept at wearing down its enemies before delivering a decisive blow.

……

【Name】：Ice Demon Ape

[Attribute]: Ice

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Introduction]: An ape-like creature living in extremely cold regions, possessing exceptional ice control abilities and adept at using ice weapons in close combat.

……

[Name]: Primordial Beast

【Attributes】: None

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: One of the creatures with the most subsequent evolutions in the Federation, but its original attack is relatively simple, making it difficult to survive in the wild.

……

[Name]: Tree of Life

[Attribute]: Plant type

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: These beings possess powerful vitality and mostly live deep in the forest. They are harmless to any ferocious beast.

Bai Qi looked at the information on the eight pet beasts given by Granny Fan and suddenly became conflicted.

Eight lord-level creatures, including even a high-level lord like the Tree of Life. Bai Qi, who had originally planned to just pick one randomly since he had the Evolution Egg, suddenly felt at a loss.

It turns out that having too many choices isn't necessarily a happy thing.

Granny Fan seemed surprised that Bai Qi had so many pets to choose from. Her initial agitation subsided, and she said, "My little Qinzi first reported an undead creature, and then changed it to a polar ice wolf. Little guy, what kind of beast tamer are you? Summon your pet, and Granny will let you choose one."

"Um, I don't think I qualify as any type."

Bai Qi scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and summoned all three of his pets.

Crackling.

(Boss, are these all enemies?)

Alpha truly lives up to its reputation as the most warlike of the three pets; the first thing it does upon appearing is enter battle mode.

Huh?!

(Human, you've been captured by a ferocious beast! This old woman looks terrifying!)

Click-clack?

(Boss, is dinner ready?)

"Skeletons, polar wolves, slimes? How did you raise them into what they are now?"

Granny Fan was clearly a skilled breeder; she recognized the original form of the three-headed beast at a glance and immediately held Bai Qi in higher regard.

"It's just a coincidence, nothing more."

Bai Qi scratched his head, pointed to the eight lord-like creatures beside him, and said, "Why don't you give me some advice, Granny Fan?"

Granny Fan has obviously lived for many years. If she discovers any clues about the Evolutionary Egg, he will have a hard time explaining himself.

Grandma Fan didn't think much of it upon hearing this and asked, "Since you don't specialize in any one area, you have a wider range of choices. But do you have any ideas of your own?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi smacked his lips and said, "It used to be there, but now my eyes are playing tricks on me, it's gone."

Grandma Fan nodded, her pale silver eyes sweeping over the three Alpha pets, and said, "According to your human habits, a team should generally have at least one attacker, one defender, one support, and one escapee."

"You now have the first two, but you still need an escape agent and a support agent."

Grandma Fan paused for a moment, then said, "Although the subsequent evolutions of the Flame-Tailed Fox are extremely powerful, and the Beast Tribe even has species that are close to mythical, you already have a strong attacker. This could easily lead to a waste of resources, which is not advisable."

"Forget about the Netherworld Ghost Cat and the Earthfire Demon Lizard; they're not even as good as the Flametail Fox."

Upon hearing Granny Fan's words, the three Flame-Tailed Foxes lowered their heads somewhat sadly, but quickly recovered, nodded to Granny Fan as a sign of respect, and then turned and left.

It truly is a legendary creature; it possesses immense power to intimidate.

"Both Gale Wing and Four-Winged Dragon Eagle are Flying-type. Gale Wing is excellent at escaping, but its potential is not as high as Four-Winged Dragon Eagle. If you want to choose a Flying-type, I suggest you choose Four-Winged Dragon Eagle."

Bai Qi nodded. No matter where you are, the value of cultivating dragon blood is far greater than that of ordinary pets, and he was indeed somewhat tempted.

However, the later ones were also good.

"The Ice Demon Ape is a mid-level lord, good in both control and output, and its potential is not low. It seems that the main pet of your human fighting-type titled legendary is the evolved form of the Ice Demon Ape."

A legendary fighter-type character?

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. With such a high potential, wouldn't he be destined to become a legendary creature with just a casual training?

"However, I don't recommend you choose the Ice Demon Ape."

Granny Fan glanced at Alpha and said, "You already have a fairly strong ice undead. Raising another ice creature won't do you any good. Besides, these two don't seem to get along very well."

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, realizing that Alpha and the Ice Demon Ape had already clashed. If it weren't for Granny Fan and him being there, they probably would have started fighting right away.

Forget it, no matter how strong the Ice Demon Ape is, it's not as good as our own Alpha, and Alpha's future might not be bad either.

"As for the reputation of the Proto-Beast and the Tree of Life, you should have heard of them, so I don't need to explain them to you."

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly. The Tree of Life is the most worthwhile plant-type creature to cultivate. In addition to its powerful vitality, which can heal most of the injuries suffered by pets, it can also increase the lifespan of the beast tamer.

It should be noted that pets provide feedback to their tamers. For example, Alpha improved Bai Qi's speed, the husky improved Bai Qi's mental strength (although Bai Qi felt it was unnecessary), and Gamma improved his physique.

If Bai Qi were to form a contract with the Tree of Life, he would at least be able to live for another ten years or so without any problems.

Bai Qi had long heard of the great name of the Primordial Beast.

Thunderbird, Ice Skyfish, Flame Beast...

The renowned high-ranking lords and even monarch-level beings all evolved from the Proto-Beast, hence the name Proto-Beast.

In other words, if he chooses the Proto-Beast, he will have an infinite number of choices.

The four-winged dragon eagle, a flying type, fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

The Tree of Life is a super tonic; after forming a contract, he won't have to worry about being drained dry by the Evolution Egg.

The Primordial Beast has the highest potential for future development.

My head still hurts so much...

Bai Qi scratched his head in a somewhat troubled manner, while Granny Fan suddenly spoke up, saying, "Although it's not fair to this child, I suggest you choose between the Four-Winged Dragon Eagle and the Tree of Life."

"Why? Has this progenitor beast already been reserved?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at the Primordial Beast with some curiosity.

"Actually, he has been reserved many times, but he has been returned each time."

"Can't it evolve?"

Bai Qi quickly grasped the key point: although the Primordial Beast was a Lord-level creature, it didn't have much combat power in its original state. It was basically a Muggle with extremely high base stats. Its biggest advantage was in its large number of evolved forms.

If it cannot evolve, the value of Protomon will be greatly reduced.

"It's not that it can't evolve, but that it will degenerate."

Grandma Fan sighed and said, "Compared to other creatures of the same kind, this little guy evolves more easily; it evolves almost as soon as it comes into contact with energy of different attributes."

At this point, Granny Fan gave the Tree of Life a look, and the Tree of Life immediately understood, injecting a wisp of life force into the Primordial Beast's body. The Primordial Beast's body immediately shone with a dazzling light of evolution.

Soon, the light of evolution dissipated, and the appearance of the Proto-Beast changed drastically.

[Name]: Wood Spirit

[Attribute]: Plant type

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Introduction]: Elves born in the forest, they are active around places of life such as the Tree of Life. They have a gentle nature and do not like to fight.

Holy crap, this evolution speed is even faster than the evolutionary egg!

Bai Qi stared dumbfounded at the drastically changed Primordial Beast in front of him. Before he could even comment, a dark red light emanated from Mu Ling's body, and its body gradually twisted and deformed, eventually reverting to its original Primordial Beast form.

Having undergone an evolution and degeneration, Protomon was clearly not in good condition, but it seemed to have gotten used to this state. Ignoring the Tree of Life's good intentions to heal it, Protomon staggered away.

This guy has such a unique personality!

"As you can see, although this little guy can evolve, he can barely maintain it for even a second, so the beast tamers who chose him before have all returned."

Grandma Fan sighed and said, "So, have you made your choice? The Tree of Life or the Four-Winged Dragon Vulture?"

"I choose Protomon!"

"Hmm, not bad, you chose... Wait! What did you choose?"

Granny Fan suddenly looked at Bai Qi and said, "Say that again?"

Bai Qi pointed to the Primordial Beast and solemnly declared, "I choose the Primordial Beast!"

The Four-Winged Dragon Eagle was good, but apart from its dragon bloodline, there was nothing else that could attract Bai Qi. The Tree of Life was good, but now that he had the Cowardly Dragon and the Green Dragon Scales, his need for supplements wasn't that great.

On the other hand, the Proto-Beast's ability to evolve and then regress is simply an invincible talent!

Once the drawback of the short duration is resolved, contracting this ancestral beast is equivalent to contracting countless pet beasts.

This is a godsend for people who have trouble making decisions!

If I had known better, I wouldn't have rushed to contract that stupid dog. If I had contracted this progenitor beast earlier, I would have had everything.

Huh?

(Human, is it really polite of you to think about this kind of thing in front of me?)
