Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 2 Hatching Eggs, Is That Okay?

Watching the little skeleton disappear before him, Zhuge Chen's eyes suddenly turned strange, and he asked, "Bai Qi, did you form a contract with that skeleton?"

Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's right. I felt a strong connection with this little guy, so I formed a contract with him directly."

Fate? Are you kidding me...?

Zhuge Chen rolled his eyes, completely at a loss for words.

"I'll give you the money from Little Skull later. I'm heading back now."

Bai Qi was excited at the moment, and made up an excuse to stride out of the Elf House. Only then did Zhuge Chen realize what was happening, and he shook the mechanical prosthetic limb in his hand, saying, "The mechanical prosthetic limb isn't... installed yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Qi had already disappeared through the gate. Zhuge Chen could only sigh helplessly and silently put away the mechanical prosthetic limb.

Soon, Bai Qi returned home.

A three-story villa with a yard.

Bai Qi's parents were researchers at a conglomerate, so his living conditions were quite comfortable.

However, his parents were rarely home, and apart from brief exchanges when they sent him living expenses each month, Bai Qi was practically no different from an orphan.

However, Bai Qi didn't mind and was happy to have some peace and quiet.

Back home, Bai Qi began to examine the runes on the back of his left hand.

After a Beastmaster awakens their talent, a rune will form on the back of their hand, and at the same time, the Beastmaster's soul space will be transformed into a Beastmaster space suitable for the survival of beasts.

Furthermore, this rune will gradually strengthen the Beastmaster's spirit and physique.

However, these are all secondary now.

Bai Qi controlled his mental power to connect with the incantation, and a transparent array appeared in front of him. Accompanied by ripples like water, a small, snow-white skeleton crawled out from it.

The complexity and color of the summoning array will vary depending on the Beastmaster's level.

Simply put, the higher the level, the more complex the formation and the darker the color.

For a beginner first-tier beast tamer like Bai Qi, the summoning array is simply a nearly transparent circular array.

The summoned little skeleton was clearly bewildered, with a tiny flame of soul flickering in its empty eye sockets, seemingly unaware of its predicament.

According to the data released by the Federation, the bloodline level of Beast Tamers is divided into five levels: Servant, Elite, Lord, Monarch, and Emperor.

As the lowest-ranking servant bloodline in the undead faction, the little skeleton's intelligence is also quite worrying.

Now we just hope that the Evolutionary Egg will live up to its name.

Bai Qi immersed his consciousness into the Evolution Egg, and a series of information flooded into his mind, giving him a general understanding of the Evolution Egg's functions.

Just like its name suggests, the Evolution Egg can freely upgrade the bloodline level of a beast and enhance its own talents.

If the growth level of a beast determines its current strength, then its bloodline level determines its upper limit.

In other words, as long as there is an evolutionary egg, it is not impossible for Caterpie to evolve into Rayquaza.

Skeleton soldiers with low base stats and Evolution Eggs that can raise bloodline levels.

This major is a perfect match!

But how exactly is this thing used?

With a tentative mindset, Bai Qi placed his hand on the little skeleton's head and extended his mental energy toward the Evolution Egg.

The instant Bai Qi's spiritual power touched the Evolution Egg, a black light extended from Bai Qi's palm, quickly enveloping the little skeleton. Bai Qi felt his body go weak and his mind became somewhat dazed.

However, this feeling only lasted for a short while before Bai Qi returned to normal. Looking at the dark eggshell in front of him, his eyes became increasingly strange.

[Name]: Black Iron Egg

[Status]: Evolving

They actually do hatch eggs, but can you hatch skeletons?

Viviparous and oviparous, it seems like skeletons can't be associated with either.

Bai Qi circled the black iron egg for a long time, but eventually gave up on the idea of ​​using heat to speed up the hatching and stood quietly to the side to wait.

Click.

After waiting for about half an hour, the black iron egg finally cracked open, and the broken shells scattered all over the ground, revealing the shape of the little skeleton.

He still looked the same thin and small, except that the flames in his eyes were slightly brighter, he didn't seem to have changed much.

That's it?

With a skeptical mind, Bai Qi placed his hand on the little skeleton's head again, and his eyes lit up.

[Name]: Skeleton Soldier

[Race]: Undead (Mutated)

[Growth Level]: Tier 0, Level 1

[Bloodline Level]: Medium Servant

[Racial Skills]: Bone Remodeling (Beginner), Bone Hardening (Beginner)

[Status]: Can Evolve

The bloodline level has changed from low-level servant to mid-level servant, and an additional racial skill has been added.

Such a drastic change makes it hard to tell whether the cheat's effect was too powerful or the little skeleton's base stats were simply too low.

"Let's do it one more time."

Without hesitation, Bai Qi used the Evolution Egg once again, waiting with a hint of anticipation for the little skeleton to hatch.

Finally, the moment the little skeleton peeked out, Bai Qi began his investigation once again.

As expected, the little skeleton's stats remained unchanged; it was still a mid-level servant, and its skills did not increase again.

It's because my foundation is too weak...

Bai Qi quietly dismissed the idea of ​​directly evolving the skeleton into a divine beast. Looking at the lively little skeleton in front of him, he suddenly thought of something.

I was so busy researching the cheat codes that I almost forgot to name this little guy.

While it's not uncommon for beast tamers to refer to their beasts by their race, the name "skeleton soldier" is simply too low-class.

It's you I've decided on, Skeleton Soldier!

The thought of what he might look like in future battles sent chills down Bai Qi's spine.

"I'll call you Alpha."

Crackling.

The little skeleton seemed quite pleased with its name, opening and closing its mouth as it released affectionate waves towards Bai Qi through the contract.

Bai Qi was quite satisfied with what he saw and said, "Alpha, try out your skills."

The little skeleton nodded, a flash of ghostly fire in its eye sockets, and a metallic luster emerged from its bones. The bones, which were originally slender and seemed to break at the slightest touch, suddenly appeared much harder. However, it seemed that it could not cover the entire body; only a small part of it was affected.

After all, it's a newly acquired skill, and my proficiency is still insufficient.

Bai Qi stroked his chin, pointed to a large tree in the yard, and said, "Alpha, harden your bones, attack that tree."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the little skeleton sprang out from its spot, arriving in front of the tree with a speed that surprised Bai Qi, and slammed its fist down.

boom.

The tree trembled, and a shallow fist-shaped mark appeared on it.

Alpha picked up his severed right arm with a blank expression, looked at the thick tree in front of him, and then at his own frail bones. His soul flame dimmed instantly.

Just as I saw in the Elf House, the little skeleton's speed is indeed far superior to that of its kind; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to evade so many pursuers. After evolving, its speed has increased even more.

However, it is still a bit weak in terms of strength, and its output is obviously not good.

Moreover, the little skeleton itself seemed unable to withstand this speed; the joints were too fragile.

It still needs to evolve a few more times.

Crackling sounds...

The little skeleton sensed Bai Qi's thoughts and perked up again, staring intently at Bai Qi's right hand with an expectant look.

Evolution, I want to evolve!

Bai Qi once again used his cheat ability to envelop the little skeleton. After a brief period of dizziness, he began to think of other things.

Alpha's foundation is too weak, and it won't be able to form combat power in a short time. I still need to improve its combat power in other aspects first.

Bai Qi clapped his hands and made a decision immediately, then plunged into the villa.

I'm still looking for recommendations! Please suggest any fun evolution paths or pets you'd like to share!
