Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 275 Infinite Terror

Bai Qi had Delta find a secluded spot to land, and then summoned the other three pets.

His mission this time is reconnaissance, and there's no need to alert the enemy, so the husky is the best choice. However, considering that there might be monarch-level creatures inside, it would be better to bring Alpha along.

As for gamma, it's obviously used for saving lives.

Awoo awoo?

(Are they sleepwalking?)

Beta looked around at the ferocious beasts that roamed about like zombies and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Sleepwalking, isn't that the same as being a zombie?"

Walking corpses are also a type of undead, but because most of them are carrion-type and uncontrollably emit toxic gases, almost no undead beastmaster would choose to contract with walking corpses.

After all, they might be suffocated by the zombies before they even defeat the enemy.

"It shouldn't be. My vital signs monitor shows that although their vital signs are weak, they are still relatively stable, and they are definitely dreaming."

After scanning, Shuke concluded, "Although it's unclear why they're all sleepwalking, I suggest you, Beastmaster, be careful."

Bai Qi nodded, took the gas helmet from Shuke and put it on, then put Gamma on his shoulder before riding Delta and carefully heading towards the valley.

The creatures wandering around the perimeter were all low-level beings, so they didn't notice Bai Qi and his group approaching. Bai Qi even took the time to have Alpha take a few dazed humans to a safe area outside.

But as they got closer to the valley, the beast's dual levels gradually increased. Although it was not yet awake, it still instinctively attacked Bai Qi and the others.

"Alpha, keep your movements quiet."

Seeing the numerous ferocious beasts approaching them all at once after hearing the commotion, Bai Qi sighed helplessly and signaled Alpha to quickly handle the situation.

Crackling.

(no problem.)

Alpha nodded, then vanished in a flash. The surrounding ferocious beasts immediately collapsed like wheat, without any chance to resist.

Click-clack.

(So ​​much food, let's not waste it.)

After Alpha dealt with the enemy, Gamma very consciously sent out tentacles to pull back the corpses of those ferocious beasts and threw them directly into the secret realm base.

I've been obsessed with cooking lately, so I naturally couldn't miss out on such fresh ingredients.

Huh?

(What does that smell like? It smells so good!)

Just then, Beta suddenly stopped, sniffed, and smelled an intoxicating fragrance wafting over. She couldn't help but take a couple more breaths.

Then, Beta simply fell asleep.

sizzle...

Seeing Beta's state, Shuke shook his head speechlessly and released a strong electric current to wake him up.

"Tests showed that it has 57% similarity to the pollen of the Dream Vine. The remaining components are currently unknown, but it also has hypnotic and hallucinogenic effects."

Shuke calmly analyzed the components of these fragrances, and Bai Qi couldn't help but feel glad that he had brought a gas helmet in advance.

If he hadn't brought it, he might have ended up looking like everyone else.

"But Beta, why didn't you react at all? Where's your telepathic ability?"

Bai Qi patted Beta, somewhat puzzled.

Huh?

(Can I say I don't know either?)

Bai Qi frowned slightly. Ever since Beta's perception skill awakened into Mind's Eye, his ability to sense danger has increased significantly. When he works with Shuke, he can even predict the opponent's next move.

It's truly baffling that she was drugged without any reaction whatsoever.

Crackling.

(The stupid dog probably didn't sense any hostility; these pollen grains didn't seem to be controlled by any living being, they were completely aimless.)

Alpha was the first to make a guess, and Bai Qi suddenly realized what was going on.

Indeed, without deliberate targeting, the skill effect of Mind's Eye will naturally not be fully utilized.

"However, it's rather embarrassing that you were the only one who got drugged."

Bai Qi looked at Beta with disdain. Although Beta was somewhat unconvinced, he silently shut his mouth after seeing his teammates.

A skeleton without a sense of smell or even a respiratory system, a slime that eats whatever comes its way, and a proto-beast that can change its form anytime, anywhere according to its external environment.

Oh right, there's also a metal lump.

Looking around, it seems only his side needs to breathe normally...

Fortunately, Shuke and Beta were going to share a body, so Shuke was given a metal skin, while Beta also perked up and carefully explored the way ahead.

Finally, the one person and four pets arrived at the valley.

Compared to the eerie appearance outside, the valley looked quite normal.

Flowers bloom everywhere, lush and verdant, creating a vibrant scene.

But the more this was the case, the more vigilant Bai Qi became.

Bai Qi looked at the images transmitted back by the scout bees sent out by Shuke, but found nothing unusual, not even a trace of any living creature.

"If there are no animals, then there are only plants."

Thinking back to Shuke's report, although it only contained half of the components, since there was pollen of Dream Vine among those pollen, the strange creatures entrenched here were most likely Dream Vine.

Unlike animal-type beasts, plant-type beasts are relatively quiet. Apart from some that are easily used as food, some plant-type beasts can sleep for decades without moving.

And the Dream Vine is one of them.

Bai Qi had also learned about the main ingredient of the Dream Potion.

The Dream Vine, as its name suggests, not only has pollen that can induce sleep, but it also loves to sleep itself, hence the name Dream Vine.

However, although the Dream Vine looks harmless, it is a genuine high-level lord and has a fearsome reputation even among ferocious beasts.

Although Dream Vine spends most of its time sleeping, it still needs to forage when it is awake, and its attack methods naturally rely on dreams.

Dreams can be beautiful or nightmares.

According to the information Bai Qi found, some Nightmare Vines use their skills to immerse enemies in nightmares, scaring them to death, and then dragging them back to become their own nourishment little by little.

Therefore, in the pet encyclopedia, Dream Vine is divided into two types: one is the gentle Dream Vine that only likes to sleep, and the other is the cruel Nightmare Vine that likes to attack enemies with nightmares.

Judging from the current situation, the cause of all these strange phenomena might be a dream vine.

He had never heard of anyone sleepwalking after being pollinated by the Dream Vine. Could this be a mutant?

"Alpha, go inside and check the situation. Be careful. This Dream Vine must be quite powerful to cover such a large area."

Crackling.

(Okay, I'll be right back.)

Alpha drew the sword of death and slowly flew towards the valley.

Although the situation inside the valley is not yet clear, Alpha's king-level bloodline is there, and with the Death Sword and the Undying Flame, which are attributes that completely counter plant types, even if it is not Dream Vine but some other stronger creature, Alpha will not fail.

Woof woof?

(Why are things outside suddenly heading this way?)

Then, shortly after Alpha left, Beta suddenly let out a low growl towards the outside of the valley, and Shuk also raised his weapon and aimed it at the ferocious beast outside.

"Have you started consciously manipulating it?"

Seeing the horde of ferocious beasts surging towards them in unison, Bai Qi knew that the thing in the valley had begun to move.

"Shuke, are you sure there are humans inside?"

"According to the detection, there are also four humans in the beast pack."

Seeing the few blue dots marked on the screen, Bai Qi patted Delta. Delta immediately understood, and her figure suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the void. With a few flashes, she took all the humans away from here.

"The hostages are safe. The beast has entered attack range. Should we attack?"

"Go."

Bai Qi nodded, and Shu Ke immediately understood. The Thunder Flame Cannon roared out and landed precisely on each of the ferocious beasts. Gradually, the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the valley.

Click-clack.

(It looks delicious, Gamma wants to eat it...)

Looking at the ferocious beast corpses around him, roasted by the power of lightning and flame, Gamma felt a surge of appetite. He lashed out with several tentacles, pulling back a few "roasted meat" nearby, and then swallowed them whole. Within seconds, Gamma directly decomposed them into the most primitive energy and stored them in the Twin Pact Seal.

"Gamma's teeth are getting better and better."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, looking at the ferocious beast's corpse that had been swallowed by Gamma without leaving a single hair behind, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In other words, he is simple-minded. If he were to become an outlaw someday, putting aside everything else, his skill in destroying evidence would definitely be the best in the industry.

buzzing...

Just as Bai Qi was about to remind Gamma not to waste the ferocious beast resources, he suddenly felt a series of subtle vibrations in his ears, followed by dizziness and blurred vision.

Is this feeling a kind of psychological shock?

Noticing the abnormality in himself, Bai Qi immediately concentrated and forcibly resisted the dizziness coming from his mind. However, after he regained his balance, he found that the scene in front of him had changed.

The original valley disappeared, replaced by a dense forest, and in front of Bai Qi was a huge lake, its calm surface as beautiful as crystal under the moonlight.

Not only that, the husky and gamma that were originally guarding Bai Qi also disappeared, leaving Bai Qi all alone in the vast forest.

"What's this? Have I been infected too?"

Bai Qi pinched his face hard, feeling a sharp pain, but the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

Sure enough, the idea that pinching yourself will wake you up from a dream is a lie.

But when did he get infected?

With a gas mask on, pollen is unlikely. Could it be that strange vibration sound?

Bai Qi had a vague guess in his mind and was just about to meditate to see if he could forcibly break through the dream.

If it's just a dream, his body will definitely be protected by Gamma and the others, so there's no need to worry. But if he can't get out of the dream, it will be very troublesome.

Before Bai Qi could shake it off, the lake surface in front of him, which had been as calm as crystal, suddenly became rippled.

Then, to Bai Qi's astonishment, a burly man wearing a hockey mask and wielding a large machete slowly walked out of the lake.

Crystal Lake.

Hockey mask.

A large cleaver.

Jason the serial killer?

Infinite terror?!

Holy crap!
