Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 205 The Ominous Crow

Seemingly to verify Bai Qi's guess, after Yi Yu fully inserted the key into the rune puppet, a brand new rune structure appeared on the rune puppet's body, and its body flipped over, transforming into a different appearance.

Holy crap, there was even a hidden rune structure! I sold it at a loss.

He's still too young...

Bai Qi patted his head in frustration, silently reminding himself.

If Luo Xiang's guess is correct, and his Rubik's Cube is also one of the keys to unlocking the secret realm, then Yi Yu will definitely come looking for him again, and he'll have to quote a higher price then.

At the very least, we need to recoup the price difference of the rune golems.

Well, just two legendary materials, I'm not being greedy.

Just as Bai Qi was silently setting the price, the rune puppet also came to life, constantly knocking and banging on the mountain wall, scattering countless fragments of stone.

Once everything had settled, a complex array diagram suddenly appeared on the mountainside.

"Another new rune array?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled out the husky to start recording.

The Twin Towers have been confirmed to be products of the era of the Fa Emperor, which was the peak of human runic civilization. These runic arrays may be helpful for him in building the Secret Realm Tower later.

After completing the array diagram, the rune golem input some energy into one end of the array, and the entire array immediately lit up. The originally tall stone wall also shattered, gradually revealing the shape of two tall towers.

"The Twin Towers again?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this. It was only because there was no concept of constellations in this world that Bai Qi seriously suspected that the owner of this secret realm tower was a Gemini.

"Geminis have the most changeable personalities, and I always feel like this tower is going to be tough."

Soon, a pair of black and white towers appeared in front of Bai Qi and the others, and in the middle of the two towers was a two-colored gate that connected the two towers.

After the gate appeared, the rune golem walked up to it, its body slowly twisting and deforming until it completely fit into the empty space in the center of the two-colored gate. However, there was still a square gap in its chest.

"That's really true..."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately realized that the Rubik's Cube in his hand was one of the components. Yi Yu, who obviously knew something as well, picked up the red key that had fallen to the ground, walked towards Bai Qi, and said, "It seems that the Tarot Raven's divination was correct. I can indeed find the key to unlocking the secret realm here."

"Fortune telling?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. Seeing this, Bai Qiucha quickly leaned close to Bai Qi's ear and explained, "'Ominous Crow' - Yi Yu, his pet is a rare time-related pet, the Tarot Crow. It is said that he can predict the fate of others and even pets. He probably foresaw our encounter long ago."

"Does it really have that ability?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's eyes lit up, wishing he could immediately pluck some parts from Yi Yu's Tarot Crow and attach them to his pet.

A time-manipulation ability! If I could get that, wouldn't I be making a fortune?

Bai Qi wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and without hesitation, took out the unfinished Rubik's Cube and asked, "Is this what Minister Yi is talking about?"

"That's right."

Yi Yu looked at the Rubik's Cube in Bai Qi's hand with a half-smile and said, "Name your price."

Seeing Yi Yu's directness, Bai Qi grinned and said, "Three legendary resources."

"A designated legendary resource."

"Two legendary resources."

"A legendary resource + a seventh-tier mechanical technology."

"A legendary resource + a seventh-tier mechanical technology + the right to explore together."

"make a deal!"

Seeing the two complete the deal at lightning speed, Bai Qiucha, Wang Huai, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

To dare to negotiate a deal with the notoriously unpredictable Crow of the Thirteenth Bureau, aside from the old guys, it seems that only Bai Qi among the younger generation would dare to do so.

Seeing Bai Qi's straightforwardness, Yi Yu was quite satisfied. He glanced at the Rubik's Cube in Bai Qi's hand, which was clearly not yet finished, and said, "It seems that your Rubik's Cube is not yet finished. These things may be of some help to you."

As he spoke, Yi Yu took out a rubbing, which contained six different rune patterns. One of them had a key-shaped notch.

Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw this. He glanced at the gap on the rune puppet and immediately realized that it must have been copied from the rune puppet by Yi Yu and the others.

Thank you.

Bai Qi took the blueprint and handed it to Shu Ke. After scanning it, Shu Ke immediately projected a phantom image of a Rubik's Cube, which was none other than the Rune Cube in Bai Qi's hand.

With a reference point, Bai Qi's efficiency in solving the Rubik's Cube increased dramatically. After observing carefully for a while, Bai Qi began to show off his skills, his fingers nimbly flipping the cube, and Wang Huai and the others nearby even saw afterimages.

After becoming a fourth-tier Beastmaster, Bai Qi underwent a qualitative transformation in both his mental strength and physique, which is one of the reasons why he was able to create the first version of the Spirit Orb in just one night.

There's a reason why fourth-tier beast tamers are called Morning Star Beast Tamers.

Soon, Bai Qi finished the rune cube. With a flash of light, the cube solidified into a metal block.

Bai Qi carefully recorded the runes on the six sides of the Rubik's Cube before taking it to the rune puppet and inserting it into the hole in its chest. The two were perfectly joined together, without any gaps.

"The rest is up to you, Minister Yi."

Yi Yu walked closer and inserted the key into the hole in the Rubik's Cube. A stream of red energy immediately flowed out of the Rubik's Cube, instantly spreading throughout the entire door and activating the entire Secret Realm Tower.

"Bai Qi, would you like to go first?"

Yi Yu very gentlemanly stepped aside, gesturing for Bai Qi to go first, but Bai Qi waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "I only have the right to explore together; the ownership of this tower still belongs to the Thirteenth Bureau. Minister Yi, please go in first."

Even opening a door to this second set of twin towers is so troublesome; who knows what's inside? He's not going to be the first to try.

"That's true. If anything happens to you, Bai Qi, Bai Chuanqi won't let me off the hook."

Thanks to Chun Yushui's vigorous promotion, although the news that Bai Heguang had taken Bai Qi as his disciple was not widely known, the Thirteenth Bureau was, after all, a special department of the Federation, so it was aware of it.

Seeing that Bai Qi was unwilling to go in first, Yi Yu looked at Li Xusheng, who was already prepared behind him, and said, "Xusheng, go and check first. Remember, don't be careless."

"Yes."

Li Xusheng nodded silently, entered the four-armor mode, pushed open the secret realm gate, and strode in. At the same time, runes lit up on the black tower on the left.

"Like the Tower of Gratitude, do you clear the Black Tower first and then the White Tower?"

Bai Qi glanced at the black tower, then at the motionless white tower, and was about to enter when Bai Qiucha suddenly stepped in front of him.

"Let me go first."

Bai Qiucha's gaze swept almost imperceptibly over the steadily flashing runes on the first layer of the Black Tower, a barely perceptible fighting spirit flashing in her eyes.

The last time the two challenged the Tower of Gratitude together, although Bai Qi overtook them halfway through, the competition between the two was not over yet.

If we hadn't met before, it would have been fine, but now that we have, we have to settle things once and for all.

Upon seeing Bai Qiucha step forward, the Blood Scythe Demon instinctively wanted to stop her. After all, this was an unknown secret realm, and if something happened to Bai Qiucha, it wouldn't be able to explain it to its Beastmaster.

"It's alright, let him go."

Just then, the Nine Netherworld Bird suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of everyone.

"teacher."

"Dad."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha immediately greeted Bai Heguang. Bai Heguang nodded slightly, looked at Yi Yu, and said, "Minister Yi, are you sure this is the Dharma Emperor's Secret Realm?"

Yi Yu shook his head and said, "We can only confirm that it was during the reign of the Dharma Emperor. As for who it was, we'll only know after we explore the area."

"Um."

Bai Heguang nodded, then looked at Bai Qiucha and said, "Go."

Bai Qiucha nodded and plunged into the gate, but instead of entering the Black Tower as Bai Qi had predicted, she entered the White Tower.

"No wonder the two towers appeared together; it turns out the entrance was chosen randomly."

Seeing the twin towers flashing simultaneously, Bai Qixin understood and was about to go in to take a look when Bai Heguang called him back.

"I heard you've been working on a device these past few days that can form contracts with pets regardless of contract slots? It's called the Spirit Orb?"

Upon hearing Bai Heguang's question, Bai Qi glanced sullenly at the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit floating behind Bai Heguang.

They had completely forgotten that the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit had been by their side all along. As Bai and Guang's pet beasts, their experiences these past few days could not possibly have escaped Bai and Guang's notice.

The thought that he had used his own teacher's son as an experiment made Bai Qi feel guilty.

Fortunately, he had confirmed the issue of Bai Qiucha's contract position back then, otherwise he probably would have been beaten to death by Bai Heguang.

"A device that ignores contractual obligations?"

Yi Yu raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. Tang Miao and the others also gathered around, staring curiously at Bai Qi.

"Ahem, I'm just messing around with this, and it's only a first version for now, so there are still quite a few problems."

Bai Qi scratched his head, trying to brush the matter off.

However, Bai Heguang didn't seem to intend to let Bai Qi off so easily, and asked, "Do you have any finished products with you?"

Bai Qi glanced awkwardly at Yi Yu and the others beside him, but still obediently took one out and handed it to Bai Heguang.

Bai Heguang took the Spirit Orb, examined it briefly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his usually calm face. He then glanced at the Blood Scythe Evil Spirit beside him, who immediately understood and disappeared into the shadows. When it reappeared, it had already caught a wind serpent.

Caught in the hands of the legendary creature, the wind serpent had lost even the ability to tremble, and just stood there frozen like an ice pop.

"Just channel your mental energy into this area and then smash it onto the wind serpent. Ideally, you should render the wind serpent incapable of resisting and losing consciousness."

"Have they lost their will to resist?"

Bai Heguang nodded slightly, glanced at the Wind Serpent, and the Wind Serpent was so frightened that it fainted.

Holy crap, even ferocious beasts are scared to death! Teacher is awesome!
