Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 360 The Emperor's Assistant

As the lava gradually dissipated, the complete rune array was revealed. Red energy flowed slowly along mysterious paths, and a violent and dark aura emanated from the rune array like smoke.

Then, a red light flashed, and a monster whose entire body was shrouded in dense corpse energy slowly emerged from the rune array.

This monster has the head of a lion, the body of a tiger, and the tail of a scorpion. Its abdomen is covered by a shell full of cracks, and red lava drips faintly as the monster breathes.

[Name]: Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast

[Attribute]: Undead

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking monarch

[Introduction]: A ghoul creature formed by the fusion of three kinds of creatures. Its whole body is covered with powerful corpse energy, and it flows with hot blood with a temperature close to that of magma. Even the most ordinary attacks can easily infect enemies with corpse poison and fire poison.

……

"Only a low-ranking monarch?"

Bai Qi silently hid in the safe house that Shuke had built, but his face showed some disappointment.

A king of such low rank can't possibly have anything of value.

"You guys just take care of it quickly, then we'll hurry up and go to the next level."

So far they haven't gained much. Bai Qi strongly suspects that the French emperor exploited them all when building the Twin Towers. Their only hope now is that the French emperor left them, his descendants, a little something.

Crackling.

(Boss, I'll take care of this.)

Upon hearing Bai Qi's words, Alpha was the first to step forward.

Corpse energy is quite damaging to flesh-and-blood creatures, but it is almost useless against skeletal creatures like this, making it the best choice for combat.

Click-clack.

(Gamma is also an option; Gamma's holy light should be very effective.)

Awooo...

(I think we probably don't need to choose anymore...)

Beta yawned, and Bai Qi saw four more runes light up around the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beasts, and four more Three Yin Corpse Demon Beasts appeared.

Five three-yin corpse demon beasts appeared at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the corpse poison spread rapidly like a fog, and the originally refreshing grassland suddenly became filthy.

"Good grief, does it summon as many gatekeepers as there are enemies? The beginner difficulty has been turned into hell..."

Bai Qi smacked his lips. Five monarch-level creatures, even if they were only low-level monarchs, would be enough to stop most invaders.

At least compared to the enemies on the first level and those before this level, these Three Yin Corpse Demons are enough to give the challengers a hard time.

"In that case, let's each take one head."

Bai Qi clapped his hands, and the five pet beasts rushed out at the same time, each targeting a Three Yin Corpse Ghost Beast.

Alpha was naturally the fastest. Facing the corpse energy and heat of the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast, Alpha showed no fluctuation. Its death sword energy poured down, easily suppressing the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast in place, rendering it unable to move.

On the other side, Beta was equally efficient. The Mechanical Lord was deployed instantly, protecting Bai Qi while the Thunder Flame Cannon forced the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast under its command to retreat steadily.

Both being monarch-level creatures, Alpha and Husky deal with lower-level monarchs with virtually no difference from crushing a noob.

Although Gamma was a level lower than the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast, Gamma's Holy Light attribute was quite effective against the Corpse Demon Beast, and the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beast was almost being chased by Gamma.

As for Delta, with the survival of the fittest, Delta was equally unafraid of the corpse poison, relying on the Void Echoes and the Three Yin Corpse Beasts to fight head-on, having a great time.

However, if we're talking about the top priority, we should look at cordyceps.

"Number one: strong attack; number two: harassment; number three: charge; number four: sneak attack..."

Cordyceps perched on Bai Qi's shoulder, constantly adjusting its commands to the seven parasitic beasts through the screen in the safe house. The parasitic beasts, having completely lost control of their bodies, were oblivious to the corpse poison and fire poison, and instead focused their attacks on the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beasts.

"I have to say, it's really comfortable for summoners to fight."

Seeing Cordyceps looking so content, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh, and Cordyceps was clearly satisfied with his wise decision.

He wasn't interested in going up against such a terrifying opponent; with the parasites around, there was no need for him to personally engage.

"However, it's best if your absolute control is based on keeping the target alive. If they're corroded by corpse poison for too long, their physical body will become inactive, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Cordyceps was startled and quickly spread its wings and flew away.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, Chief!"

"Oh, I thought you knew."

Bai Qi shrugged, watched as the insect grass used the Sun Wheel technique to expel the Three Yin Corpse Demon Beasts, and then lay down comfortably.

If you want to be lazy like him, you're still a long way off.

Roar!

Finally, with a feeble wail, the three Yin Corpse Demon Beasts collapsed and died one after another, their lava-like blood flowing out and slowly moving towards the talisman array.

"Is it going to summon something else?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi had a bad feeling, and when he saw the runes expand again and light up, he cursed under his breath.

This is clearly not intended to let anyone pass; even the gatekeepers are using nested nesting techniques.

As the lava flowed and the runes became increasingly complex, just as Bai Qi was about to destroy the rune array, the array finally stopped changing. All the energy converged towards the center, gradually forming a human-shaped form.

"Alpha, finish this quickly!"

Seeing this, Bai Qi also lost his patience. Originally, he was in no hurry because he had a rare place to let his pets roam freely.

But if they keep doing this nested arrangement, who knows what will happen?

Being carefree is fine, but being carefree for too long is just asking for trouble.

However, the magma humanoid seemed to have noticed Bai Qi and the others. It turned its head to look at Bai Qi a few times and suddenly spoke.

"Are you human? What era is this?"

Upon hearing the lava man's question, Bai Qi frowned slightly, reached out to stop Alpha from attacking, and retorted, "I am human, who are you?"

"I am the assistant of the French Emperor."

"The French Emperor's assistant?!"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately pulled out the cowhide snake.

"Human, why are you disturbing my sleep? Don't you know that hibernation is very important for a snake?"

The cowhide snake opened its sleepy eyes, its heavy dark circles making its eyes appear even smaller and smaller.

"You said last time that the Dharma Emperor's assistant knew about dimensional runes, right?"

"Uh, that's right."

The cowhide snake seemed to realize something and nodded somewhat reluctantly.

"Look, this guy says he's the French Emperor's assistant. Go and ask him."

"The French Emperor's assistant? Where is he?"

Upon hearing this, the bullskin snake was taken aback. It looked in the direction Bai Qi was pointing, but when it saw the lava man, it looked completely bewildered.

"It's the French Emperor's assistant? I don't remember ever seeing it before?"

"Alright, that's all for you."

Bai Qi rolled his eyes upon hearing this, realizing that he couldn't rely on this guy after all.

With that, Bai Qi put away the cowhide snake, looked at the lava man, and said, "You said you were the Dharma Emperor's assistant, but this should be the Lich King's Great Tomb. Why are you here?"

The lava man remained silent for a moment, seemingly recalling something, before finally speaking: "I was left by the Dharma Emperor to guard the entrance to the third level in order to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the Great Tomb."

"So that's how it is. Was it the work of the French Emperor?"

Bai Qi nodded, showing no doubt about the lava man's statement.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that the runes have stopped, Bai Qi can see many traces of runes from the time of the Dharma Emperor.

The Great Tomb of Twilight is clearly older than the Fadi, and their rune structures are different, so they cannot be from the same group.

"Humans, answer my question: what era is this?"

The lava man seemed eager to know the current situation and urged him repeatedly.

"I, now a thousand years have passed since the death of the Fa Emperor. Humanity has formed a federation and is on equal footing with the beast tribes. It should be a rare era of peace in human history."

Bai Qi succinctly explained the current situation to the Lava Man. The Lava Man showed no emotion upon hearing that the Dharma Emperor was dead. He merely glanced at Bai Qi's pets and said, "You are very strong, but if you want to enter the next level, you should be mentally prepared."

"This twilight tomb is not as simple as you think; the later levels won't be so leisurely."

"Those who roam there are the purest of the dead."

Upon hearing the lava man's advice, Bai Qi fell into deep thought.

The fact that the French emperor specifically left a contingency plan to prevent people from entering suggests that the difficulty of this third level is likely far beyond his expectations.

But this great twilight tomb has a full nineteen levels, and being turned away at the third level seems a bit foolish.

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "I still want to go and see."

The lava man nodded slightly upon hearing this, seemingly unsurprised by Bai Qi's choice.

"Young human, now that you have made your choice, I will open the passage to the next level for you."

"Remember, if you encounter an insurmountable danger, immediately activate the teleportation rune to leave."

The lava man extended a red triangular rune stone to Bai Qi, but having learned from his previous experience, Bai Qi did not accept it easily this time and instead had Shuke put it away.

The lava man remained silent, turning into lava and disappearing. The rune array beneath his feet lit up again, and the entrance to the third level reopened.

"He ran away already? I was going to ask him if he knew anything about dimensional runes."

Bai Qi felt a little regretful upon seeing this. Although he didn't know if what the bullskin snake said was true or false, if the lava man was really the Dharma Emperor's assistant, he would definitely know a lot about runes.

Unfortunately, I still couldn't get the wool.

"Well, it's a good thing we were warned in advance. Otherwise, we might have really messed up because of the inertia of thinking from the first two levels."

Bai Qi glanced at his five pets, who were somewhat exhausted, and simply equip each of them with a Platinum Egg before returning to the safe house and falling asleep comfortably.

We don't know how dangerous this third level is, so to be on the safe side, we should restore all the pets to their best condition.
