Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 248 A Tale of Two Extremes

Seeing Zhao Hai's defeat, Lilith couldn't help but want to step forward again, but Dean seemed determined to see Bai Qi's limit and still refused to let Lilith go on stage.

Lilith didn't speak, but the other beast tamers in the Thirteenth Bureau finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed forward one after another.

As for the result, it's obvious.

Click-clack.

(Master, there are many flavors of energy here, Gamma loves this kind of competition!)

Having defeated six Beastmasters in succession, Gamma, having also improved considerably thanks to the Evolution Egg due to his seclusion with Bai Qi, was feeling rather lonely with his mouth.

"That's good, take your time eating."

Bai Qi smiled, looked at Baili Hanhai who was slowly walking onto the stage, and said, "It's been a long time."

"It has indeed been a long time..."

Without Baili Huangmo finishing up on the side, Baili Hanhai's words seemed a bit strange, but Bai Qi had been on missions with the Baili brothers before, so he didn't mind.

"Shall we begin?"

"No……"

Baili Hanhai nodded, and two rune arrays flashed in front of him. However, what appeared were not Baili Hanhai's main pet, the White Ice Python, but two pupae that looked similar but had completely opposite auras.

[Name]: Ice-shelled pupa

[Type]: Bug

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: It evolved from Firefly through a split and possesses the Ice attribute.

……

[Name]: Fire Armor Chrysalis

[Type]: Bug

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: It evolved from Firefly through a split and possesses the fire attribute.

……

"Ice and fire types? Are they going to have to coordinate their attacks?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. The Baili brothers were most skilled at the combined ice and fire attack tactic, and he didn't expect them to still be using it even after being separated.

After the Ice and Fire Insects appeared, they immediately launched an attack. However, unlike the previous challengers, they did not use a strong offensive to try to finish the battle quickly. Instead, they each spat out insect silk carrying ice and fire attributes to entangle around Gamma.

Moreover, the two types of insect silk ignored the conflict between their attributes and intertwined together in perfect harmony, completely disregarding the burning effect of the sacrificial aura.

"A fusion of ice and fire threads?"

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon seeing this. Although it wasn't the highly destructive ice-fire fusion agent the two brothers had used before, these fusion threads were still quite troublesome. If an ordinary pet were to get entangled in them, tsk, that feeling...

However, Gamma clearly didn't care about the ice and fire attributes attached to these insect silks. He had already maxed out both of his resistances, and the damage had been reduced to a minimum. The rate of damage loss was even slower than his own recovery rate.

That's why, to everyone's speechless gaze, Gamma actually started slurping the worm silk, and the way he looked so enjoying it made the surrounding audience hungry.

"What should I do? I suddenly have a craving for noodles."

Zhou Yan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, clearly intending to try the Ice-Fire Worm Silk, while Xiao Yuan and the others smiled helplessly.

"Bai Qi's slime monster is getting more and more monstrous."

As Gamma's first opponent, Xiao Yuan witnessed Gamma's growth firsthand.

From initially absorbing energy by wrapping around something, to later having a vampiric aura, it's now even starting to eat the insect silk released by the opponent's pet.

Xiao Yuan was very skeptical. If Bai Qi cultivated it into a legendary creature, what would this guy not be able to eat?

"But isn't Bai Qi being a bit too arrogant? The other side is clearly stalling for time."

Bai Qiucha glanced at the Ice and Fire Twin Insects opposite her, which were still constantly spitting silk and even wrapped themselves up, and realized what was going on.

"The Icefire Worm can not only split and evolve into two completely independent individuals, but it can also merge together in a short time to become a stronger individual. Perhaps the opponent planned to fight Bai Qi as a fused form from the very beginning?"

Lu Qing quickly retrieved the data on the Ice and Fire Insects from her memory and said, "If Bai Qi had planned ahead, the skills used after the Ice and Fire Insects fused together might not be able to be defended against by ordinary resistances."

"It seems Bai Qi knows his opponent; perhaps he has some other scheme in mind?"

Bai Qiucha glanced at Bai Qi, who looked completely at ease, showing her full confidence in him. The others also deeply agreed with this.

If we're talking about who's the most mischievous and playful here, it's probably Bai Qi!

However, Bai Qi, who carried everyone's expectations, was not conceiving any novel tactics, but instead let Gamma do whatever it wanted.

Gamma's resistance skills have long been maxed out, but they haven't shown any signs of awakening.

According to the skill guide, there is a chance of awakening if you are in a high-concentration attribute environment for a long time. It is not very realistic to be in a high-concentration environment for a long time now, but high intensity should be enough.

If you could awaken one or two resistance skills first and then upgrade them to elemental resistance, you might get some unexpected benefits.

"What's going on with Bai Qi? Did he go easy on him because he's an acquaintance?"

On the Thirteenth Bureau's side, Tang Miao scratched his head curiously, clearly not understanding Bai Qi's plan, while Wang Huai looked at Bai Qi with a slightly scrutinizing gaze and said, "Perhaps Bai Qi is brewing something. Han Hai's actions should be sped up, otherwise I'm worried he won't be able to hold out until the fusion."

Because the Sacrifice Aura's effect was weakened, and the Toxic Aura was also less effective against Bug-type creatures, Gamma decisively removed the other two auras and focused all his efforts on using the Drain Aura.

It was precisely because of this that the power of the energy-absorbing halo was turned up to the maximum, and the dual-attribute energy attached to the ice and fire insect silk within the coverage area gradually dimmed.

Needless to say, it was absorbed by the energy-absorbing halo.

"alright."

Just then, the Hundred-Mile Desert suddenly spoke, and the Hundred-Mile Vast Sea echoed back, with two cocoons bursting open and a blue butterfly and a red moth emerging from them.

【Name】：Ice Wind Butterfly

[Type]: Bug

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Introduction]: Evolved from an ice-shelled pupa, it can summon extreme icy winds to freeze everything.

……

[Name]: Flame Moth

[Type]: Bug

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Description]: Evolved from the Fire Armored Chrysalis, it can attack enemies using its extremely high body temperature.

……

"It can actually evolve during battle? It's a bit like Delta."

Seeing that the two insects in the vast ocean had actually evolved, Bai Qi immediately became interested.

We should keep an eye out for these kinds of pet resources in the future; maybe we can find a way to increase Delta's evolutionary form or extend its evolutionary period.

After successfully evolving, Baili Hanhai changed his previous hesitant fighting style and launched a strong attack on Gamma.

First came the Flame Moth, which flew straight towards Gamma the moment it hatched, distorting the light in its path due to the high temperature of its body.

Although Flamethrower is a Bug-type, it has extremely strong close-range combat abilities, and its high body temperature is its strongest weapon.

Gamma also sensed the high temperature on the surface of the Flame Moth's body, and reluctantly released the Ice-Fire Insect Silk, beginning to actively strengthen its defense.

Although both are passive skills, the difference between subjective activation and passive acceptance is still quite significant.

The Flame Moth crashed straight into Gamma, and the terrifying heat instantly scorched a bright red area on Gamma's body, which continued to spread. Even green steam appeared above Gamma's head.

While Gamma has fire resistance, its immunity is mainly to burning effects; it still has some effect on pure high-temperature damage like that of the Flame Moth.

However, Gamma's physique was simply too abnormal. In just a short while, Gamma's body gradually adapted, and his originally bright red body began to gradually return to its original emerald green appearance.

However, Baili Hanhai's attack did not stop there. Seeing that Gamma had adapted to the high temperature of the Flame Moth so quickly, the Ice Wind Butterfly, which had been gathering its strength, suddenly flapped its wings, and a biting cold wind appeared out of nowhere and blew towards Gamma.

The cold wind came suddenly, and the temperature was terrifyingly low. The earth, which had been scorched by the fire moths and was about to melt, was instantly covered with a layer of ice and began to crack.

Faced with such a sudden temperature change, even steel may not be able to withstand it, let alone ordinary soil.

After the Icewind Butterfly summoned an extremely cold wind, the Flame Moth suddenly made its move, tightly gripping Gamma to prevent its escape, while simultaneously increasing the temperature of Gamma's body surface.

If the temperature difference between the two sides is large enough, even the strongest gamma defense cannot withstand it.

Sure enough, as the extremely cold wind fell on Gamma, a thick layer of ice immediately covered Gamma's crimson body, and fine cracks appeared on both Gamma and the Flame Moth encased in it.

Soon, the ice shattered, and Gamma's frozen body broke into pieces on the ground, while the Flame Moth simply shook off its outer shell and crawled out unharmed.

They originated from the same mother body and naturally possess the ability to fight against the other half; otherwise, wouldn't it be foolish to perish together?

"So, Bai Qi lost?"

Looking at Gamma lying motionless on the ground, the others outside the arena were somewhat puzzled, but since Leng Feifei had not announced the result, they dared not comment casually.

After all, there was no limit to the number of summoned pets in this arena battle. Unless one side chooses to concede or all of their pets lose their fighting power, the match will not be declared over easily.

Unlike the others' curiosity, Bai Qi remained unusually calm and said, "I thought you would directly fuse into ice and fire worms and then attack. I didn't expect you to be so clever. No wonder you're from the special operations team."

Bai Qi gave Baili Hanhai a thumbs up, and Baili Hanhai seemed to realize something as well, so he immediately had the two insects regroup and watch the fragments of Gamma in the arena warily.

To everyone's astonishment, the originally frozen fragments slowly melted, then wriggled together, their faces filled with happiness.

Click-clack.

(Master, could you build Gamma a couple more rooms like this in the future? Gamma feels so comfortable here.)
