Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 320 The Mythical Bloodline of Cordyceps

After confirming that none of the four pets were injured, Bai Qi began to check on the cordyceps.

Compared to the Golden Egg, the Platinum Egg lasts longer, so Bai Qi couldn't immediately know the condition of the Cordyceps. However, judging from the feedback of the contract, the Cordyceps should be in pretty good condition.

"Will it directly elevate Epsilon to the Monarch level?"

Bai Qi couldn't help but daydream. Cordyceps was originally a fusion of two high-level lord-level creatures, so it seemed possible that with a little catalyst, it could directly advance to the monarch level.

"Ah... I really want to break the eggshell and see what's inside."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran back to the biology building to check the ancient embryos he had obtained from his parents.

Just like with the Jiuli Consortium, no matter what tests Delta did on the egg, the results were always that it showed no signs of life.

Jerry leaned closer to the fossilized egg and sniffed it, saying, "I can sense a faint soul inside this egg, but it won't last long."

"Has a soul already been born?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. No wonder he felt that this egg was different; it turned out that it already had a soul.

"Is there any way to bring him back to life?"

Faced with Bai Qi's expectant gaze, Jerry shook his head and said, "I can only sense the existence of souls, nothing else."

"All right."

Bai Qi sighed with some regret, almost forgetting that Jerry was just a new personality split off from Beta's consciousness, and what Beta didn't know, he naturally didn't know either.

Bubbling.

(Master, shall I try?)

Delta walked to a storage box on the side, took out a bottle of green potion, and came to Bai Qi.

"Compound No. 5? What's that?"

Bai Qi curiously took Compound No. 5, looked at the label on it, and asked.

(This was actually developed by the owner's parents using the blood of the progenitor beast. It acts as a catalyst, increasing the adaptability and fusion of the pet's cells.)

"Hmm... to put it simply."

(It can assist in evolution, increasing the probability of other pets evolving.)

Bai Qi was surprised. He didn't expect his parents to have even researched something like this, something that could assist in evolution, and it was somewhat similar to his Evolution Egg.

"Can this thing help ancient species revive?"

Bubbling.

(Theoretically, this catalyst could help ancient species adapt to their current environment.)

Delta nodded, opened the AI ​​next to him, and presented all his research data to Bai Qi.

Their level of expertise is comparable to that of a biology expert.

(However, this was created by Delta using his own blood, and with some slight modifications. It's currently in its fifth version, hence the name Compound Five.)

"My goodness, this is going to drive your beast tamer crazy!"

Bai Qi stared in disbelief at Delta's research report. The report's core message was the reason why the Proto-Beasts could evolve freely, and Delta's conjecture was similar to that of Bai Yanluo and his wife.

Besides retaining their original genetic sequence, the Proto-Beasts themselves could secrete a substance that promoted their fusion with other energies and matter.

(Since the embryo still has a soul, perhaps this compound No. 5 can be used to stimulate the embryo's vitality, but Delta has not yet conducted experiments, so it is unknown whether it is feasible.)

"It's alright, we'll try anything, no matter what."

Bai Qi waved his hand. According to Jerry, the soul inside the embryo would soon dissipate. Now, taking a gamble might give them a chance to be resurrected.

"However, can fossil embryos be injected?"

Looking at the ancient embryo whose surface was still fossilized, Bai Qi couldn't help but scratch his head.

"How about we soak it and see?"

Without hesitation, Bai Qi had Delta take out all the remaining Compound No. 5, pour it into the incubator, and then carefully placed the ancient embryo inside.

The green potion quickly submerged the fossilized egg, producing tiny bubbles, but otherwise, there was no further movement.

On the contrary, the life fluctuation detector on the side showed some fluctuations.

"It really works!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Although the light was faint, he had indeed detected life within the fossilized egg.

In other words, Delta's research was a success.

"Compound No. 5, it's amazing that you, Delta, were able to come up with it."

Bai Qi patted Delta's head. His pet's intelligence was truly far ahead of others, and its learning ability was no less than that of him, a beast tamer.

"Wait a minute, Delta, you just said that Compound V can help the Proto-Beast fuse with external energy, right?"

Bubbling.

(Theoretically speaking, that's how it is.)

"Could this promote the integration of machine and meat?"

Delta remained silent. He had only intended to study the evolutionary principles of the Proto-Beasts in order to find out why he could not maintain his evolved form for a long time; he hadn't really thought about it in that direction.

"Whatever, let's give it a try first."

Bai Qi immediately became interested and decided to give it a try.

Click.

Just then, a crisp sound of an eggshell cracking reached Bai Qi's ears. Bai Qi's eyes lit up immediately, and he ran straight to the side of the Cordyceps Platinum Egg.

I originally thought it would take a long time for the cordyceps to revive, but I didn't expect it to be so quick.

At this moment, a crack has appeared in the Platinum Egg, and soft rays of sunlight are piercing through the crack, faintly resembling the first light of dawn.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but grin. Although this feeling was far inferior to that of the Sun Wheel Beetle Shell, the aura was indeed from the same source.

As the cracks increased, the sunlight seeping through became increasingly dazzling.

Finally, the Platinum Egg exploded with a bang, and a small sun appeared in front of everyone, so bright that Bai Qi could hardly open his eyes.

When the golden light finally dissipated, a beetle with a golden body and two seven-colored tentacles on its head appeared before everyone.

"Epsilon?"

Looking at the cordyceps whose appearance had changed so drastically, Bai Qi asked a question with some uncertainty.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's question, Cordyceps seemed to wake from a dream and immediately ran to Bai Qi.

"Chief, what are your orders?"

That's right, there's nothing wrong with your thinking.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and asked, "How are you feeling now? Have you received any inheritance or anything like that?"

"Inheritance?"

Cordyceps seemed somewhat bewildered. After trying to comprehend it for a while, it hesitated before speaking, "It seems like it is, but it also seems like it isn't..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's eyes twitched slightly. Too lazy to ask any further questions, he simply placed his hand on the cordyceps.

[Skill Introduction]: As the manifestation of the sun in the world, beings with a sun wheel can directly obtain energy from the sun to strengthen themselves. As long as the sun exists, life will continue.

……

Extraordinary skill!

I originally thought that only Alpha would gain extraordinary skills at the Lord level, but I didn't expect that Cordyceps would also enjoy this treatment.

Mythical creatures, terrifying beyond measure.

"Is this the skill granted by mythical creatures?"

Bai Qi smacked his lips. As long as the sun shines, life will continue.

This is just a bug version of Superman.

Um, will I get attacked for using this analogy?

If we start over, it should be photosynthesis in the insect world.

Bai Qi scratched his head. The skill's description was very simple, but considering its extraordinary level, the effect should be quite good.

"The idea that sunbathing can gradually strengthen you is practically a standard feature of daydreams."

Bai Qi looked at the cordyceps with some envy. It was a pity that this was the world of beast taming. If it were in another world, this ability would be too suitable for just surviving.

I got the Sun Wheel at the start, so I can just lie back and level up?

"However, even mythical creatures couldn't help you evolve. Should I say you're just unlucky, or that the Sunbeetle's shell is no good?"

Seeing Bai Qi's regretful expression, Cordyceps quickly explained, "I'm sorry, leader, the energy in the Sun Wheel Beetle's shell is just too strong. I simply couldn't absorb it all. It seems that all that energy was used to modify my bloodline."

"Transforming bloodlines?"

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment before noticing that the cordyceps' attribute bar had an additional suffix: Mythical Species.

"Furthermore, I seem to have gained some additional memories, but I haven't had time to process them yet, so..."

Cordyceps glanced at Bai Qi cautiously and said, "However, I will try my best to digest these memories and make use of them."

Transform bloodlines and memories.

Isn't this the kind of bloodline inheritance that only legendary bloodlines like Nicholas possess?

"It's alright. Haste makes waste. Just take your time to digest it and try not to waste this legacy."

Bai Qi patted Cordyceps' head. Although he couldn't directly advance to the King level, being able to upgrade his bloodline to a Mythical species and enhance his potential was still quite good.

In fact, the dream of this mythical creature came true much faster than he had imagined, and it turned out to be his fifth pet, which he had only just contracted.

"However, at least we've found a way to obtain mythical bloodlines."

Bai Qi grinned. As long as he fused with the organization of a mythical creature, he could obtain the bloodline of a mythical species. That was quite simple.

I'll have to ask Instructor Luo where there are any more secret realms related to mythical creatures. Maybe we can even improve the bloodlines of Alpha and the others.

"Ah, so much to learn, so much to learn!"

The husky evolved into a king-level creature, the cordyceps obtained a mythical species, and even mastered a supernatural skill ahead of time. This harvest was truly abundant.

"Everyone, take a break for a while. We'll ask the teacher about the Death Round Table tomorrow once things have settled down."

Bai Qi rubbed his temples, put a platinum egg on each of his five pets, and then returned to his room to fall into a deep sleep.

After experiencing so many battles in one day, coupled with the depletion from the egg-laying process, he was indeed starting to feel the strain.
