Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 356 is too brutal!

Outside the ancient city of Suo.

A giant bear collapsed weakly to the ground, and in front of him stood Jerry in his Netherworld Guardian form.

"Epsilon, hurry up and parasitize it."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately threw the cordyceps over. The cordyceps did not hesitate and landed precisely on the back of the giant bear's head, easily biting open the tough outer skin of the Sky-Splitting War Bear. Its seven-colored tentacles quickly extended and sent a seed that shimmered with a strange light into the wound.

Under the bright sunlight, the seed quickly took root and sprouted after entering the body of the Sky-Splitting War Bear. In an instant, it took over the control center of the War Bear. The War Bear felt pain and instinctively tried to resist, but was punched back by Jerry.

【Name】：Sky-Splitting War Bear

[Attribute]: Fighting

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking monarch

[Introduction]: With a volatile and warlike temperament, the powerful physique not only gives the Sky-Splitting War Bear strong defense, but also endows it with offensive power that strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies.

……

The Sky-Splitting War Bear is a king-level ferocious beast. It was only with Jerry's help that its soul was injured; otherwise, the Cordyceps wouldn't have been able to implant its seed so easily.

With Jerry's help, Cordyceps successfully planted its seeds into the Sky-Splitting War Bear's body. The colorful vines spread all over the Sky-Splitting War Bear's body like blood vessels, completely seizing control of the bear.

"Epsilon, how are you feeling?"

Bai Qi looked at the motionless Sky-Splitting War Bear in front of him with some nervousness and asked.

"Chief, I have taken control of the Sky-Splitting War Bear, and it feels pretty good so far."

Cordyceps flapped its wings and landed on the head of the Sky-Splitting War Bear. The Sky-Splitting War Bear slowly stood up, gently waved its arms, and a series of whooshing sounds echoed through the sky.

"Not bad, even without using skills, this level of physical fitness allows them to exert considerable combat power."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. This Sky-Splitting War Bear was the one he and his five pets had chosen after a long selection process.

A king-level creature, a Fighting type, with thick skin and incredible strength, capable of both offense and defense, perfectly meeting his requirements for his Cordyceps parasitizing target.

Cordyceps nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. With such a big guy around, it finally had a certain ability to launch a frontal attack. In the future, as long as the Sky-Splitting War Bear was in front of it, it could create dreams with peace of mind.

"Alright, let's move on to the next target."

Bai Qi opened the mission board, where Shuke had already marked six lord-level ferocious beasts, all of which were powerful fighting creatures.

Although Bai Qi wanted a seven-headed monarch-level creature, Cordyceps was only a lord-level creature after all. Even though its mental power was exceptionally strong due to the symbiote and mythical bloodline, Bai Qi was not too greedy considering the control effect.

In any case, the slots will be vacated after the death of a ferocious beast that is under absolute control. Once the strength of the Cordyceps increases, it can be gradually replaced.

Bai Qi climbed onto the palm of the Sky-Splitting War Bear, and under the control of the Cordyceps, was placed on the bear's shoulder. Then he strode into the mountain.

This area was originally the territory of the Sky-Splitting War Bear, and lord-level creatures dared not roam nearby. If they wanted to hunt, they could only go deep into the mountains.

The Sky-Splitting War Bear may seem clumsy, but it travels quite fast and soon arrives at its first target, the Dust-Splitting Rhinoceros.

[Name]: Dust-Repelling Rhinoceros

[Attribute]: Fighting

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Lord

[Introduction]: Its tough, gold-like hide and sharp horns with armor-piercing properties give the Dust-Piercing Rhinoceros unwavering confidence; once it starts charging, it will not stop.

……

"Epsilon, try out your first parasite and see how it goes."

Bai Qi jumped off the Sky-Splitting War Bear and stood at a distance with Alpha and the other pets. Cordyceps nodded, flew up from the Sky-Splitting War Bear's head, and controlled the Sky-Splitting War Bear to walk towards the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros.

Roar!

The appearance of the Sky-Splitting War Bear had long attracted the attention of the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros. As the Sky-Splitting War Bear's neighbor, he naturally knew its terrifying combat power, so he instinctively wanted to retreat.

But the Sky-Splitting War Bear seemed relentless, instead increasing its speed. Its initially stiff movements gradually became smoother, and finally it simply reverted to its instincts, landing on all fours and running at high speed.

Then, he crashed headfirst into a large tree that was as thick as three people could hug.

The tree snapped with a crash, while the Sky-Splitting War Bear fell to the ground, looking completely bewildered.

"I said, after parasitizing for so long, does it have to be this weak?"

Bai Qi glanced at the cordyceps with a speechless expression, while the cordyceps also looked somewhat embarrassed.

"I apologize, Chief. The bodies of monarch-level creatures are somewhat complex, and their coordination suffers a bit when moving at high speeds. I will adjust it immediately."

Cordyceps quickly adjusted the control structure of the parasitic seed, and the Sky-Splitting War Bear stood up again.

But it was precisely because of this that the dust-repelling rhinoceros also noticed something amiss.

The Sky-Splitting War Bear seems to have become weaker?

The Dust-Splitting Rhinoceros kicked the ground, its heavy body suddenly accelerating as it charged toward the Sky-Splitting War Bear, smashing everything in its path, whether trees or rocks.

The Giant Bear seemed to be caught off guard. By the time it tried to defend itself, the Dust-Splitting Rhinoceros had already rushed in front of it, and it could only barely spread its arms to hold down the Dust-Splitting Rhinoceros's body.

boom!

With a loud bang, the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros crashed straight into the Sky-Splitting Giant Bear. The powerful force caused the Sky-Splitting Giant Bear to retreat uncontrollably, and the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros, having succeeded in its first battle, became even more energetic and increased its force once again.

After traversing a distance, the Sky-Piercing War Bear stopped, its broad palms pressing down on the body of the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros. With a forceful pull and a swing, the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros was thrown out by the Sky-Piercing War Bear.

Even without the ability to use skills, the terrifying power of Fighting-type creatures is still there, and the Dust-Sweeping Rhino would never be a match for them in this regard.

"Epsilon, go easy on her. This is your next target for parasitism. If you damage her, it will be very difficult to repair."

"Yes, leader."

Cordyceps nodded and blocked the attack of the Dust-Repelling Rhinoceros again. This time, it did not retreat but steadily stopped the attack.

hoohoo!

Feeling the immense force from the arms of the Sky-Splitting War Bear, the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros roared, and the ground beneath its feet instantly turned to sand. The Sky-Splitting War Bear staggered and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, Cordyceps had a high level of mastery over absolute control and quickly regained his balance before delivering a powerful palm strike to the head of the rhinoceros that had been splitting the air.

Click.

A clear cracking sound rang out, and the skill that the Dust-Clearing Rhinoceros had halfway through charging up was forcibly broken. Its burly body slumped to the ground, lifeless.

"Holy crap, is this really necessary?"

Bai Qi looked at the Dust-Splitting Rhinoceros, which had been killed in one blow, with some surprise, and was astonished by the strength of the Sky-Splitting War Bear.

I thought this big, clumsy bear was just average, but now it seems it's quite formidable.

I wonder if this dust-repelling rhinoceros horn is still usable.

And being slapped to death, I suddenly feel a bit disgusted.

Bubbling.

(Don't worry, it's just a brain injury and temporary shock.)

Delta examined the plant and quickly gave an assessment. Upon hearing Delta's conclusion, Cordyceps eagerly began parasitizing the Dust-Repelling Rhinoceros.

Soon, the second parasite stood up under the control of the cordyceps and obediently stood in front of Bai Qi.

"Good, let's continue at this pace."

Bai Qi nodded and continued forward with the two newly tamed parasitic beasts.

……

Lake Taize.

A giant crystal crocodile was mercilessly pinned to the ground by six giant beasts, forced to watch helplessly as the golden beetle bit through its shell and buried the seed, which exuded a dangerous aura, inside its body.

"Tsk tsk, that's really too brutal."

Looking at the giant crystal crocodile covered in wild beasts, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh.

He could already picture the scene of someone facing Cordyceps being completely bewildered and brutally beaten to the ground by the seven-headed beast.

The image is beautiful just to think about.

"Leader, I have completed my parasitism."

Soon, the cordyceps flew back from the crystal crocodile and gently landed on Bai Qi's shoulder, while the six giant beasts obediently stood in a row in front of Bai Qi.

One king, six lords.

Although it can only exert physical strength, and at most only one-tenth of its normal strength, the sheer size of the Fighting-type beast is enough to frighten many people.

Bai Qi stored the seven parasitic beasts in the secret realm base, saying, "If we bring them back to the secret realm and improve their control and coordination, they will be a formidable fighting force."

To ensure that these ferocious beasts would not starve to death or become food for Gamma, Bai Qi specially instructed Yu to designate a breeding area next to the base to house them. Cordyceps also truly gained its own territory in the secret realm base.

"This secret realm is becoming increasingly insufficient..."

Bai Qi checked the few remaining empty spaces in the secret realm and scratched his head.

We've only contracted five, and this secret realm is already a bit too crowded. If we contract two more, wouldn't it be even more cramped?

"Looks like I'll have to ask the guild leader if he can find me a bigger secret realm."

Without hesitation, Bai Qi checked the time, mounted Delta, and headed back to Gusu City.

Awoo awoo!

(Human, I think I smell something... the scent is familiar.)

Just then, Beta suddenly roared at something in the distance.

"Are there enemies?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately became alert. He had been active in the vicinity recently, and the Lord-level and Monarch-level ferocious beasts had been almost completely wiped out. The only thing that would appear here now and prompt Beta to issue a warning was probably a Beast Soul Master.

"Abnormal energy fluctuations have been detected. Based on the assessment, there is an 88% probability that a secret realm has emerged."

Shuke glanced in the direction Beta was roaring and immediately gave his assessment.

"Is the secret realm coming out?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. This was like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy—definitely the treatment of a protagonist!

"With everything going so smoothly, it's a good thing I'm not writing a novel, otherwise I'd definitely be getting a lot of flak for it."

Bai Qi grinned and said, "Let's change direction and explore the secret realm first! Whether the base can be expanded might depend on this!"
