Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 357 Dungeons and Ferocious Beasts

Hill of the Dead.

With the relocation of the Twin Towers, Hill of the Dead has returned to its former gloom and desolation, and pale skeletons once again walk across this barren land.

"I wonder what was buried in this place before, that so many skeleton soldiers could be born here."

Looking down at the slowly moving skeletons below, Bai Qi asked Beta, "Beta, are you sure this is really the Hill of the Dead, and not just the lingering aura of the Twin Towers?"

Huh?

(Human, are you questioning me?)

Beta gave Bai Qi a serious look.

(You can question the intelligence of Stinky Bones and Stinky Snake, but you absolutely cannot question my expertise. Before my gaze, there are no secrets.)

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded, then kicked Beta off Delta.

Awoo awoo!

(Human, how could you treat your dog like this!)

Beta looked completely bewildered, as if he had been abandoned, while Jerry, unable to bear it any longer, took control of his body, transformed into his guardian form, and landed steadily on the ground.

"There seems to be a force slowly growing beneath this land; it must be the power of shadow."

Jerry looked around, seemingly sensing something, and then looked at Alpha, who placed his hand on the ground of the Hill of the Dead, quietly sensing it.

Crackling sounds...

Alpha's appearance immediately caused a stir among the skeleton soldiers. The king-level undead creatures were far more intimidating to them than other races, especially after Alpha released its mental power. They unconsciously knelt down and kowtowed to their king.

Awoo awoo!

(This stinky bone is so arrogant! I can't stand it anymore!)

Upon seeing this, Beta immediately perked up and, for the first time, took the initiative to regain control of his body from Jerry. His golden vertical pupils on his forehead shone brightly as he carefully searched for that power.

Crackling.

(Boss, I found it.)

Awoo awoo!

(Humans, I've discovered something!)

Almost simultaneously, Alpha and Beta made their discovery. After exchanging a glance, the two pets rushed into the depths of the Hill of the Dead without prior arrangement.

"These two guys can actually compete with each other?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle, and quickly followed with the other pets.

As Bai Qi and his companions ventured deeper, the number and types of undead around them increased, but without exception, they all bowed down to Alpha's sovereign pressure.

The hierarchy among undead creatures is the most obvious.

Finally, Alpha and the husky stopped in front of a small hill at the same time. Almost simultaneously, the two pets attacked the hill.

boom!

The hill exploded, and the immense energy tore apart the undead creatures still lingering nearby, gradually revealing a decaying city wall to Bai Qi.

"Good job, but don't do it again next time."

Seeing that the city wall remained unscathed despite the attacks from the two pets, Bai Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the Secret Realm Towers are constructed by legendary creatures or legendary beast tamers, and are made of extraordinary materials, ordinary attacks cannot damage them at all.

But that's only under normal circumstances. After so many years, most of the structure of the Secret Realm Tower will become fragile. These two are both at the King level, and if things go wrong, they might just demolish it.

Awoo awoo.

(I'm going easy on you. If you hurt any humans, you can go find some stinky bones.)

Crackling.

(Boss, I'll be more careful next time.)

Both of them offered explanations, and Bai Qi, without further ado, went to the city wall and began to examine it.

The city wall is decayed, but it still retains its basic structure, and traces of runes can still be vaguely seen.

Bai Qi walked along the city wall but didn't find much.

Clearly, this city wall is just the tip of the iceberg of the Secret Realm Tower.

"Shuke, dig out the complete Secret Realm Tower, be careful not to damage the structure."

"clear."

Shuke nodded and immediately deployed a complete set of archaeological machinery, which quickly began digging along the city wall bit by bit.

Soon, a huge building that had sunk into the ground appeared in front of Bai Qi.

"I never imagined that such a large underground palace was hidden beneath the Hill of the Dead."

Bai Qi smacked his lips. Although the size of the Secret Realm Tower and the size of the Secret Realm are not absolutely related, this was the first time Bai Qi had ever seen a Secret Realm Tower the size of a football field.

"The Great Lich Tomb? I thought it would never exist again."

The cowhide snake suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looked at the huge underground palace in front of it, and said, "When the First Emperor built his own tomb like this, I told him it was unlucky, and as a result, I sent myself to my death."

"The Great Lich Tomb? You know what a lizard?"

Bai Qi looked at the cowhide snake with some surprise, becoming increasingly curious about the origin of the cowhide color.

"That's right. Having traversed the ages, how could there be anything I don't know?"

The bullskin snake raised its head, glanced at Bai Qi out of the corner of its eye, and said, "If you make me happy, I might be willing to tell you."

"Gamma, prepare the stew pot."

"Ahem, I was just kidding."

Upon hearing this, the bullskin snake shuddered and instinctively darted into Bai Qi's arms. It glanced warily at Gamma behind it, and only after confirming that he had no intention of making a move did it speak: "The Lich Tomb is what you would call the Secret Realm Tower, except that it was constructed by an Emperor-level undead creature, the Lich."

"Liches have unique properties; they can take out their life core and store it separately, and in order to protect the life core, they will build such a large tomb for protection."

"According to records, in these tombs..."

The snake spoke fluently, but Bai Qi found it increasingly strange, especially after seeing the information projected on Shuke's screen, his forehead veins bulging.

The Records of Mountains and Seas: The Tale of the Dead: The Great Tomb of the Lich King

"This guy is definitely unreliable."

Bai Qi grabbed the cowhide snake and tossed it behind him, then followed Alpha to the entrance of the underground palace.

As the records state, the entrance to the underground palace clearly leads underground, but no matter how much Alpha and Beta tried to disturb it, the underground palace remained completely undisturbed.

Crackling.

(Boss, it seems this underground palace isn't ready to be revealed yet.)

Alpha swung his sword and touched the entrance gate, but there was no response. If it weren't for the powerful shadow energy hidden inside, it would be no different from ordinary rocks.

"It's not time yet."

Bai Qi frowned. Indeed, no matter what kind of secret realm tower he appeared in, it would cause quite a stir.

And now, if Beta hadn't brought them here, they probably wouldn't have found this place.

However, it doesn't say you can't go through the back door, even though you can't enter through the main entrance.

"Beta, look for a back door."

Bai Qi patted Beta on the head, and Beta immediately understood. He activated his Insightful Observation, and golden light shone on the dark earth of the Hill of the Dead, clearly revealing what was hidden beneath.

"This ability would definitely be confirmed in a medical examination."

Bai Qi smiled with satisfaction, and then began to study the runes on the gate on his own.

If it really is the Great Tomb of the Lich King, then the runes on it might be helpful to Alpha.

However, the moment Bai Qi's hand touched the door, the previously silent door suddenly lit up, and dense shadow power instantly appeared on the decaying door, pulling Bai Qi inside before he could react.

"Holy crap, how can this door just open like that?!"

Caught off guard, Bai Qi cursed under his breath and quickly brought all his pets inside before being completely pulled through the gate.

……

Beast Tamer Association.

As President Qin was approving the latest batch of tasks, he seemed to sense something and looked up in the direction of the Hill of the Dead.

"Is that the Hill of the Dead? The Twin Towers have been moved, there shouldn't be anything there."

President Qin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then took out his phone to dial Bai Qi's number.

"The number you dialed is not in service. Please try again later..."

"Can't get through? Where has that kid run off to this time?"

President Qin put down the phone, turned on the smart brain that only the president had the authority to access, and directly connected to the Net above Gusu City.

"The net is set; search for Bai Qi's whereabouts."

"Permissions detected... Level 4 permissions, access permitted, searching for target..."

After a series of electronic sounds, an image was projected in front of Chairman Qin, showing the scene before Bai Qi disappeared in the underground palace.

"This is... the Lich King's Tomb!"

President Qin, being a man of great experience, recognized the origin of the Great Tomb of the Lich King at a glance. Upon seeing Bai Qi enter the tomb, he immediately became restless.

"I knew it, this brat can't stay still, he's always up to something every now and then."

President Qin stormed out of the office, cursing and swearing. After giving his secretary a few instructions, he activated the teleportation array and disappeared from the spot. After learning the details, the secretary immediately got to work.

With a large undead realm emerging, it's natural to find someone to control it immediately.

……

The Great Tomb of the Lich King.

Bai Qi glanced at the deep, eerie passage before him, its end unknown, and unconsciously shrank back.

It's one thing to not be afraid of undead creatures, but the thought of being in a lich's tomb still makes Bai Qi feel a little uneasy.

"Alpha, Jerry, you two remember to protect me."

Bai Qi moved closer to Alpha and Jerry and asked, "Shuke, have the reconnaissance bees' investigation results come back?"

Shuke shook his head and said, "The shadow power here is too dense. The scout bees have lost connection and cannot obtain a map of this place."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, but before they could even set off, they heard a series of crackling sounds coming from the depths of the corridor.

The great tomb had been sealed for a long time, and Bai Qi, a living person, stood out conspicuously here, almost like a candle in the darkness, attracting these dead spirits.

"Looks like we have no choice but to force our way in."

Bai Qi smacked his lips and released the seven ferocious beasts that the cordyceps had just parasitized without hesitation. He then patted the cordyceps and said, "It's your turn to shine, Epsilon."

"Dungeons & Beasts Season 1, officially begins!"
