Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 353 The Porcupine Man Invasion!

Click.

With a cracking sound, the platinum egg exploded, and a golden beetle slowly flew out. Where the golden light shone, a faint rainbow could be seen.

"Chief, I think I've acquired something... wait, where is the chief?"

Feeling the new power she had just gained, Cordyceps was eager to share it with Bai Qi and her companions, only to find that the room was completely empty, with only the insect itself in the large room.

"It seems that the chieftain has been asleep for too long and has left."

Cordyceps quickly figured out the reason and decided to go outside to try out its new skills. Just as it stepped out of the room, it heard a deafening roar.

"Who is Delta fighting with?"

Cordyceps' eyes lit up, its gossip-loving spirit instantly ignited, and it flapped its wings to quickly rush towards the source of the sound.

However, before it could get close, they heard Bai Qi's voice.

"After adding the mental energy storage device, the duration of Dragonmon's evolution has indeed increased significantly. Unfortunately, Dragonmon itself is a bit weak, so it can only maintain the evolution for a maximum of three minutes."

Bai Qi looked at the dragon-like beast undergoing various tests under Delta's guidance with some regret and said.

"Dragonmon's problem is similar to Delta's. Leveling it up should help, but the improvement probably won't be significant."

Beta offered his opinion, saying, "I suggest trying it with human mental power; perhaps it will have different effects."

Bai Qi nodded. Human souls clearly have unique characteristics, and the amplification effect of spiritual power on pets far exceeds that of their own kind. This is why contracted pets level up faster than ordinary ferocious beasts.

Furthermore, the reason why ferocious beasts raise humans to provide them with spiritual power is precisely because of the spiritual power of humans.

"But where am I going to find a beast tamer to help me..."

Bai Qi smacked his lips, watching the mechanical dragon gradually transform from its mechanical Tyrannosaurus form back into its baby dragon form, and suddenly had an idea.

"Shuke, please retrieve the data on the Spirit Orb, Rune Mechanical Armament, and Armament Evolution for me. I need it."

"I understand. Do we need to create a model of the Dragonmon?"

"need."

Bai Qi nodded and immediately got busy on the spot, completely unaware of the cordyceps flying in from afar.

"Chief, I have successfully evolved."

"Yes, very good."

Bai Qi didn't even turn his head, burying himself in revising the runes.

"I have mastered a super skill."

"Hmm, not bad, keep up the good work next time... Wait, what skill is that?"

Upon hearing what Cordyceps said, Bai Qi finally realized what was happening and turned to look at Cordyceps.

The overall shape of the cordyceps did not change much, except that the seven-colored tentacles on its head began to sway with rainbow-like light, making people feel drowsy for a moment.

Seeing that Bai Qi had finally noticed her, Cordyceps immediately raised her head and transmitted her holographic state to Bai Qi.

【Name】: Dream-Eating Vine (Epsilon)

[Attributes]: Insect (Mythical Species) Plant Symbiosis

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Lord

[Growth Level]: Tier 4, Level 8

……

"The confinement and parasitism are gone, replaced by absolute control?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and focused his mental energy on absolute control.

[Skill Name]: Absolute Control

[Skill Level]: Super

[Skill Introduction]: Condense a seed and implant it into the enemy's body, seize the enemy's control center, and thus completely gain control of the enemy.

Note: Number of parasites (0/7)

……

"Is it possible to remotely parasitize and control it?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Although he had expected it, he was still quite satisfied with the ability to awaken a super-level remote control skill.

"Epsilon, what is the maximum level you can parasitize?"

"Reporting to the leader, lord-level beings can be easily controlled, but king-level beings are more difficult to control, since I am not yet able to completely suppress the souls of king-level beings."

Cordyceps paused for a moment, then said, "However, if I can make it lose consciousness first, I should be able to control it. But I can only use the power of its physical form; some skills and such will be unusable."

"As expected."

The Nine-Heart Flower Fairy was the same. After controlling the Purple-Spotted Snake, she only used the Purple-Spotted Snake Lord's ability to control the clan and her own body to fight. She didn't see the other party use any special abilities.

"But it's not like we can't find a loophole. We can just find two fighting-type creatures to parasitize."

Bai Qi grinned. It just so happens that ferocious beasts have been rampaging around the world lately, so finding a few fighting-type ferocious beasts won't be an easy task.

The control limit is seven heads; we can plan that out carefully.

Bai Qi patted the cordyceps' head and said, "You should first condense the seed, and then we'll parasitize it when we encounter a suitable ferocious beast."

"Understood, Chief. I will go immediately."

Cordyceps nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Although his physical body still doesn't become stronger, at least he no longer has to risk his life to personally go into battle.

Neither the Dream Vine nor the Soul-Eating Insect are the kind of creatures that can be directly confronted; the trials of these past few days have truly tormented him to the point of exhaustion.

After sending off the cordyceps, Bai Qi continued his research.

Soon, a cross-shaped rune structure gradually took shape.

"Shuke, conduct a simulation experiment. If there are no problems, build a prototype first."

"no problem."

Shuke nodded, accepted Bai Qi's drawings, and continued his study.

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded slightly, stretched, and left the secret realm base.

Scattered like stars across the sea of ​​flowers, it was already late at night.

"Tsk, it's already so late."

Looking up at the dazzling starry sky above, Bai Qi realized how long he had been in the secret realm base.

"Let's go back first and see if there are any ferocious beasts that are suitable for Epsilon to parasitize."

Bai Qi patted Delta, who immediately understood and flapped its wings, intending to return to Gusu City.

huh~

A sharp spike grazed Delta's body. Although Delta tried her best to dodge, her skin was still torn, and she staggered to the side.

Bai Qi clung tightly to Delta's scales to keep from falling, while simultaneously channeling his mental energy to summon Alpha.

"Delta, are you alright?"

Bubbling.

(Master, I'm fine, just a little scraped.)

Delta shook her head, took Bai Qi to a safe place, and then transformed her tail into the tail of a white-faced, armored elephant to absorb the toxins from the wound.

Is it poisonous?

Bai Qi frowned slightly, looking at the pitch-black sea of ​​flowers below, and asked, "Alpha, can you find the enemy?"

Crackling.

(Found.)

Alpha nodded, and the Undying Flame Sword suddenly flew out, landing directly in the sea of ​​flowers at his feet.

In an instant, crimson flames covered the entire sea of ​​flowers. Snakes, insects, and rodents had no time to escape and were burned to ashes by the inextinguishable flames.

At the same time, a burly figure burst out from it and charged straight toward the Alpha in the air.

"A ferocious beast? No, an orc?"

Under the moonlight, Bai Qi finally saw the attacker's appearance clearly.

Its tall, inhuman body and ferocious head resembled that of a porcupine. Its sharp tusks reflected a pale light in the moonlight, and the spikes on its back swayed slightly, emitting specks of green light.

It was a human-shaped porcupine.

"Holy crap, a shapeshifting monster... wait, wrong show, a porcupine! Is World of Warcraft finally invading this place?!"

As we all know, only legendary creatures can transform into human form, and even then, only a small number of them are capable of doing so, since not many legendary creatures are willing to transform into such fragile beings as humans.

The porcupine-men who ambushed them were clearly not legendary creatures; they were indeed quite rare.

"Alpha, spare one of them."

Seeing the porcupine man being smashed back by Alpha's sword, Bai Qi had Delta create some distance and handed the battlefield over to Alpha.

Crackling.

(I'll give it a try.)

Alpha landed slowly, drew the Undying Flame Sword, and pointed it at the porcupine man.

The porcupine-man seemed to realize Alpha's power, and took a slight step back, clearly intending to retreat.

Yin~

Just then, a sword rang out, the spikes on the porcupine's back suddenly broke off, and a blue longsword flashed into view before disappearing again.

Sword of the Wind.

Roar!

Knowing he had no way out, the porcupine-man was also aroused. His eyes turned bloodshot, his breathing became heavier, and his thick legs suddenly exerted force, charging towards Alpha like an arrow released from a bow.

The porcupine was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Alpha in an instant. A white light flashed from its sharp tusks, indicating that it had locked onto Alpha's head.

Although the porcupine was fast, its straightforward attacks were no match for Alpha. Alpha easily dodged the attacks and swung its Wind Chaser Blade, cutting a deep wound on the porcupine's thigh.

The porcupine-man lost his balance on the thigh and fell heavily to the ground, his gleaming fangs embedding themselves in the earth, causing a violent explosion.

"Light Fang Assault? It really is a ferocious beast."

Seeing the porcupine-man use its skill, Bai Qi became even more curious about its identity.

If you ignore the porcupine head, the rest of its body is basically no different from a human's. If you had to give an example, it would be somewhat similar to Jerry's Grim Reaper form.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately summoned the husky.

"Jerry, can you tell where this porcupine-man comes from?"

Jerry nodded, a glint of light flashing in his dark gold eyes. He looked the porcupine man over and said, "This looks like a human."

"Humans?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised, and the image of Li Xusheng involuntarily flashed through his mind.

Could it be another hybrid, only this one has stronger beast-type genes?

Just look at this porcupine-man's appearance...

Porcupine Rider...

Emmm...

Can't learn!

I'm recommending a friend's book on beast taming. Those interested (waiting for updates) can check it out; just remember to come back!
