Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 334 Death Sword Talisman (Bonus Chapter Tomorrow)

Taize Lake.

The Nine Netherworld Sparrow descended from the sky, and Bai Qi, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over and said, "Teacher, you've arrived."

Bai Heguang nodded, looking at the gradually widening hole below, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately recounted in detail to Bai Heguang his encounter with the Beast Soul Master, his arrival at Taize Lake, and the discovery of the cowhide snake.

"Ouroboros?"

Bai Qi turned his gaze to the cowhide snake, and the Nine Netherworld Sparrow also became interested and stepped forward to take a look.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I am...

The bullskin snake seemed completely unaware of the legendary creature, the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, and habitually adopted its arrogant demeanor. However, as soon as it raised its head, Beta shoved it back down with a claw.

"It doesn't look special at all; its soul and flesh are both quite ordinary. But the fact that it can speak is rather interesting."

A flash of fire appeared in the eyes of the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, and in an instant, it saw through the entirety of the cowhide snake.

"However, the anomaly at Taize Lake should have nothing to do with him; there must be something else involved."

Bai Heguang understood what was going on, so he stopped paying attention to the cowhide snake and began to examine the frozen lake in front of him.

Although it is relatively rare, Bai Heguang has a wealth of experience and has seen pets like the Bullskin Snake that are weak but can speak human language. In comparison, he is more concerned about the situation at Taize Lake.

"Go back to your cultivation. Leave things here to me."

Bai Heguang took a deep look at the dark lake water below the hole and said, "Alpha's training is temporarily over. We'll discuss the follow-up arrangements when I get back."

After saying that, Bai and Guang mounted the Nine Netherworld Sparrow and plunged directly into the lake.

"The teacher's efficiency is as high as ever..."

Watching Bai Heguang completely disappear into the lake, Bai Qi couldn't help but smack his lips, realizing he had washed away his teacher's precious vacation.

However, the teacher is a legendary figure with a title, so he should be fine, right?

Bai Qi tightened his collar and rode Delta back to the lakeside.

Affected by the cold wind in the cave, the temperature on the shore of Taize Lake has dropped considerably. However, the creatures living here, who naturally prefer low temperatures, have become even more active.

Bai Qi found an open space to land, and then summoned Alpha with great anticipation.

I wonder how Alpha is doing now after a week of special training from the teacher.

Runes flashed, and Alpha's towering figure appeared before Bai Qi. As soon as it appeared, Bai Qi sensed a sharp aura rushing towards him, as if what stood before him was not a skeleton, but a sharp sword.

"Holy crap, human and sword... no, bone and sword as one?"

Bai Qi looked at Alpha with some surprise, even though his level hadn't changed, his aura was completely different. He was clearly taken aback.

"Alpha, what have you been training for lately?"

Crackling.

(fight.)

"Um, why do I feel like Alpha, you've gone back to your old silent self? Did you get beaten up and become withdrawn?"

Bai Qi scratched his head helplessly, looked at Shu Ke, and asked, "Shu Ke, where is the strongest king-level beast in the mission?"

Shuke quickly found the data on the Mountain Backer Turtle and said, "It should be a Mountain Backer Turtle living in Dangwu Mountain. According to the intelligence, it is already close to the sixth level."

"Then let's go find the mountain turtle to practice on."

Bai Qi nodded, and the four of them, along with their five pets, quickly headed towards their destination, following the map's directions.

"And me too, don't forget me!!!"

……

When Wushan.

In late autumn, Wushan is almost entirely covered in red maple leaves, looking like a long red dragon coiled up here from a distance.

Deep within the Wushan Mountains, a giant, entirely black tortoise was resting comfortably against the foot of a mountain peak. Occasionally, it would move its body, causing the nearby mountain to shake violently.

[Name]: Mountain Turtle

[Attribute]: Ground

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Monarch

[Introduction]: A solitary creature that prefers to live in the mountains. It possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, and its every move affects the surrounding mountains.

……

"This is it."

Seeing the swaying mountain peaks in the distance, Bai Qi immediately determined their target location and sped up, quickly arriving in front of the mountain tortoise.

At this moment, the mountain tortoise also noticed Bai Qi and the others approaching. Changing its previous carefree demeanor, a fierce aura surged from its body and rushed straight towards Bai Qi.

As one of the few solitary creatures among the king-level beings, the strength of the Mountain Tortoise is self-evident. Its terrifying power and despair-inducing defense are enough to make countless enemies despair.

Awooo...

(What a huge turtle...)

Beta stared blankly at the mountain-sized tortoise in front of him, his mouth agape. The bullskin snake, on the other hand, looked at him with disdain and said, "This is what you call big? Back when I accompanied the First Emperor on his hunt, that was what you call big. This one isn't even as big as its cub."

Awooo!

(You stinky snake, can you shut up?)

Upon seeing this, Beta immediately came to its senses and instinctively raised its claws. However, the bullskin snake had clearly anticipated Beta's move and nimbly slithered away from Beta's tail, biting down directly. Beta immediately jumped up from its spot in pain and ran around the trees in a frantic manner.

"These two guys really get along quite well..."

Looking at the goofy wolf-snake duo, Bai Qi smiled helplessly. Then he felt the ground tremble, and the mountain tortoise that had been lying on the ground stood up.

The height of the mountain tortoise didn't increase much after it stood up, but the sense of oppression it gave off increased dramatically, as if a huge mountain was walking towards them.

"Alpha is now in your hands."

Bai Qi patted Alpha, who nodded, then took the Sword of Death from its back and vanished instantly.

"Holy crap, how did Alpha become even faster?"

Bai Qi was astonished to see Alpha arrive on the top of the mountain tortoise's head in an instant.

"Delta, did you see Alpha's movements clearly?"

Bubbling.

(Only a trace was visible; the air in front of Alpha seemed to have been cut open, yet it didn't affect Alpha's movements at all.)

Delta shook his head. As the only hexagonal warrior in the team, Delta's speed was naturally not slow either. If even Delta couldn't see clearly, the other opponents would probably have a hard time.

Alpha's actions clearly surprised its backer, but it didn't react much.

It has devoured countless enemies of this speed.

Once this guy is injured by his own attack, he'll be at your mercy.

Ow! ! !

The mountain tortoise, which had been slowly twisting its body, suddenly let out a miserable howl, and a thin crack appeared on its originally sturdy shell.

"This is... the Sword of the Wind?"

Bai Qi looked closely and was shocked to find that Alpha's other hand was also in a sword-wielding posture, and immediately realized what was going on.

Hidden beneath the Wind Chaser Barrier, the Wind Chaser Sword has become an invisible and incomparably sharp weapon.

Seeing its proud defenses breached by Alpha, the Mountain Tortoise became serious. With a roar, it ignored the rocks and hurled itself at Alpha like a cannonball. However, before it could get close, the rocks were broken into tiny fragments and blown to the ground by the wind.

At the same time, Alpha ruthlessly swung the Sword of Death, and the black sword energy flowed unimpeded into the body of the Mountain Turtle through the wound left by the Wind Chaser Sword.

Rumble...

The entry of the power of death finally made the Mountain-Backing Turtle sense the danger, and it immediately shrank into its shell. At the same time, an earthy yellow force field suddenly expanded, solidifying the area it covered, and even expelling the death sword energy that had already invaded the Mountain-Backing Turtle's body.

Seeing this, Alpha showed no panic, and didn't even intend to activate the death field. He gently waved the sword of death in his right hand, and black threads appeared in the air, slowly forming a strange rune array.

"This is... a runic structure? I've never seen it before?"

Seeing Alpha's actions, Bai Qi became curious, and Alpha's rune array was already complete, with the Sword of Death piercing directly into the core of the rune array.

In an instant, sword energy erupted, and countless black sword energies emerged from the rune array, completely ignoring the solidification effect of the Mountain-Backing Turtle's force field, and landed on the Mountain-Backing Turtle's carapace.

Without any major commotion, the areas where the Mountain-Backing Turtle was hit by the Death Sword Qi all crumbled off like lime, revealing the Mountain-Backing Turtle's body inside.

"Holy crap, this is a sword talisman? Alpha, you figured it out yourself?"

Crackling.

(That's right.)

Alpha nodded, looking at the terrified Mountain Tortoise in front of him, but then switched to the Wind Chaser Sword again. The invisible blade continuously cut into the Mountain Tortoise's flesh and blood, and only when it was completely thrown into disarray did he behead it with a single sword strike.

"Tsk tsk...that's quite efficient."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this. Although the Mountain Tortoise was still only a fifth-tier monarch, it was still a mid-tier monarch. He hadn't expected that Alpha could defeat it without even using a force field. Its combat power was definitely enough to make it the most powerful among its peers.

"But Alpha, what's with that sword talisman you have?"

Crackling.

(I learned the application of the power of death from the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, but the Nine Netherworld Sparrow transformed it into Netherworld Fire, while I drew it as runes.)

Bai Qi understood immediately. His teacher's Nine Netherworld Sparrow had never used the power of death directly in battle like Alpha. Compared to Alpha, Alpha's application of the power in previous battles was indeed somewhat crude.

Simply put, before it was like a nouveau riche throwing money at people; now it's about exchanging that money for something else to throw money at people more effectively.

"Very good, so your previous practice wasn't in vain."

Bai Qi patted Alpha with satisfaction, looked at the massive corpse of the Mountain Tortoise in front of him, and said, "Hurry up and pack up, then continue searching for the next target."

Even the strongest backer tortoise has been dealt with, so aren't the other pets just easy targets?

Finish the task quickly, then go to the teacher to see what happened at Taize Lake.
