Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 213 Awakening of Perception

After its initial successful sneak attack, the husky became increasingly cautious, refusing to make a move no matter how much Alpha probed.

However, Alpha had no intention of waiting any longer. With a heavy stomp of its feet, countless bone spikes imbued with shadow power burst through the metal ground and instantly covered the entire area.

It was the Shadow Lotus that Alpha hadn't used for a long time.

Forced by the Shadow Lotus, the werewolf that the husky had transformed into could no longer hide. It burst out of the ground with a roar, and the power of the Demon-Slaying Roar was immediately added to the werewolf, increasing both its speed and strength.

Then, the werewolf nimbly dodged the bone spikes that tried to grab it, easily swam up to Alpha, and launched a series of attacks on Alpha with its claws, clearly not intending to let Alpha swing its sword.

Alpha, however, did not back down. Instead, it threw away the Gravity Sword and used it along with the other blades to attack the husky. At the same time, its arms transformed into bone blades, and it began to entangle with the husky.

Although Alpha is superior to Husky in both speed and combat experience, the werewolf that Husky transforms into can always anticipate Alpha's actions one step ahead. Whether in offense or defense, it seems to be waiting for Alpha, thus seizing the initiative in the battle from Alpha.

Crackling.

Looking at the werewolf in front of him, who seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, Alpha's aura also changed little by little. Its attack speed, which was already beyond the ability to be caught by sight, increased again. Bai Qi even felt that Alpha's arm had disappeared.

After exchanging dozens of blows in close combat, the werewolf, in a state of disarray, was finally struck by the Gravity Sword. The sudden increase in gravity rendered him unable to retaliate, and he was directly locked onto by Alpha's countless blades.

Faced with the sharp blades that locked onto his entire body, the werewolf readily gave up resisting and adopted a surrender posture, while his body continued to twist, seemingly intending to revert to his original form.

Then, at that moment, the werewolf suddenly exploded, and the ethereal gold, like a tidal wave, enveloped all the blades and gravity swords, forcibly pulling them into the ground, but there was not a trace of the husky in it.

This werewolf was clearly just a fake body constructed by Shuke Beta using ethereal gold.

Alpha, realizing he had been outmaneuvered, was also slightly surprised, and then instinctively swung his bone blade to slash behind him.

Sure enough, a werewolf appeared behind him, but it was not the real husky. It was just a fake body constructed with ethereal gold, and it spread to Alpha, gradually enveloping him.

Faced with this situation, the soul fire in Alpha's eye sockets surged, and dense shadow power emanated from its crystal bones, constantly eroding the surrounding ethereal gold. At the same time, Alpha's bones continued to entangle and expand, clearly intending to forcibly break free.

Then, at that moment, a red dot appeared above Alpha's head. Following the direction the red dot extended, a two-headed wolf could be seen carrying a sniper rifle and aiming at them from where a turret had been.

Awoo awoo!

(You stinky bone, I beat you!)

Beta, having identified Alpha's only weakness, was visibly smug, while Shuk remained serious, saying, "Don't be too arrogant. Our attack might not be able to break through Alpha's skull defense."

As the monitor who oversaw the training of all four pets, it knew that Alpha had deliberately strengthened its head's defenses, and that one of the runes Bai Qi had assigned to Alpha was "Sturdiness."

If this shot fails to break through Alpha's defenses, their position will be exposed, and they will definitely be brutally beaten by Alpha.

After all, you can't expect a researcher to fight a professional soldier.

Wang Wang!

(It's alright, that stinky bone definitely can't escape our control.)

As soon as he finished speaking, Alpha, who had been tightly controlled by EtherGold, was suddenly shrouded in a dark shadow, and his body seemed to turn into a shadow. The EtherGold that had been tightly wrapped around him also missed its target.

Awooo!

(Oh no! We've been tricked by that stinky bone!)

Upon seeing Alpha disappear, Beta instinctively sensed something was wrong. Before it could change position, it felt a chill on the back of its neck as a bone blade was pressed against its head.

Crackling.

(You lost.)

Beta turned around and looked at Alpha, who had a cold and stern expression, behind him. He lowered his head dejectedly, while Shuk silently shook his head and said, "We lost."

*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...

"Not bad, quite a wonderful battle."

Bai Qi clapped and smiled as he looked at the two pets, saying, "You two performed well. Alpha's combat power and Shuke and Beta's tactics are both worth learning from."

Click-clack.

(I can't understand Gamma, but it's really amazing.)

Plurp plurp!

(Alpha's combat experience is impressive; Delta should learn from them.)

Gamma and Delta also agreed with Bai Qi's statement. Although Alpha suppressed some of its strength, this small-scale battle also failed to bring out the advantages of the Husky Mechanical Lord's skills, so it was still considered fair.

However, it is clear that Alpha is still superior.

Bai Qi had stopped thinking about the ability of Shadow Lotus to blend into the shadows since Alpha gradually changed its fighting style, but unexpectedly, Alpha still hadn't forgotten it.

He really is an assassin by trade; he can't forget his roots.

Awooo...

(My legendary materials are gone...)

Beta hung his head, looking utterly hopeless. The state of mind that had been elevated by reciting Buddhist scriptures had been completely shattered, and he now exuded an air of broken faith.

Bai Qi patted the husky's head and comforted it, "Don't be so listless. You did a good job. Keep up the good work next time."

Shuke Beta's performance was indeed brilliant, both in terms of tactical arrangements and the close combat with Alpha just now. If Alpha's speed mutation hadn't been so excessive, they might have been able to hold out for a while longer.

Moreover, Beta's ability to anticipate events is indeed quite amazing.

Huh?

(If we can't even beat them now, what about next time? Heaven knows how strong this stinky bone will become after eating another legendary resource.)

Beta was still not at peace and ruthlessly exposed the cruel reality.

"That's true."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Although he hadn't decided which aspect to enhance Alpha, whatever it was, Alpha's combat power would increase dramatically, making it even more unstoppable.

"Hmm... then let's do it in rounds from now on. Alpha has already won the first round of resource competition, so it can't participate in the subsequent rounds until the first round is completely over."

His original intention in organizing this internal competition was simply to give the pets some motivation and encourage each other. It's impossible for him to favor any particular pet. Everyone will get what they deserve; it's just a matter of time.

In addition to the basic benefits for each pet, the resource competition can be divided into several rounds, with the winner automatically exiting the round.

"This arrangement is feasible."

Upon hearing Bai Qi's arrangement, Shuke nodded, while Beta immediately perked up and cast a malicious glance at Gamma and Delta.

If it can't beat that stinky bone, surely it can beat these two juniors?

Seeing Beta successfully emerge from his gloom, Bai Qi smiled. Suddenly recalling Beta's series of predictions, he asked, "Beta, has your perception skill awakened?"

Huh?

(Awakening? When?)

"Never mind, I'll just look at it myself."

Bai Qi sighed helplessly and placed his hand on the husky's head.

[Skill Effect]: By using one's mind to perceive all things, one can anticipate attacks based on external fluctuations and dodge them accordingly.

No wonder you dodged so quickly; you sensed it beforehand with your keen perception.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Gamma and Delta and said, "It's your turn now. Get ready."

The two pets nodded repeatedly, and were about to enter the battlefield when they discovered that the battlefield was already a mess and it was impossible to fight properly.

"Ahem, Alpha, have the six zombies come and clean up the mess."

Crackling.

(Okay, boss.)

Upon receiving the order, Alpha immediately summoned the six zombies, who, being the actual builders of the base, skillfully picked up various tools and began the repair work.

About half an hour later, the originally dilapidated battlefield was mostly repaired. Although some facilities were not yet repaired, it was sufficient for combat.

"This craftsmanship is top-notch. If I weren't afraid to expand, who could rival me in the Federation's infrastructure projects!"

Bai Qi was very satisfied with the work of the six zombies. Watching the two pets enter the battlefield one by one, he asked, "Are you all ready?"

Snap snap snap!

(Gamma is ready!)

Bubbling.

(Delta will try his best.)

"Alright, the second match, Basic Welfare Group: Gamma vs. Delta, let the match begin!"

Compared to the incredibly fast-attacking Alpha and Husky, Delta and Gamma's fighting pace was noticeably slower.

Since Delta only had Savage Charge as an attack method, she did not launch an attack easily, but instead cautiously circled around Gamma, looking for an opportunity to strike.

Gamma was happy to do so, and he unleashed his Poison Aura, Energy Absorption Aura, and the newly acquired Sacrifice Aura one by one.

After the green, red, and dark halos were unleashed, the atmosphere of the battlefield instantly changed, and a scorching aura with an unusual smell gradually drifted toward Bai Qi and the others.

Wang Wang!

(Poison gas? When will gamma release poison gas?)

Beta was the first to notice the problem and immediately held his breath, while Bai Qi immediately grasped the green dragon scales and expelled the poison gas.

"Could it be that the poison from the Venomous Aura was turned into poison gas by the Sacrifice Aura? The attack range has been upgraded from a plane to space!"
