Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 372 Choosing the Time System?

"Great Sun Dragon Cicada? That sounds so cool!"

A look of satisfaction flashed in Cordyceps' eyes, and the other pets immediately surrounded it upon hearing this.

Awoo awoo!

(Humans, why is my name so weird, while insects are so cool? Honmaru is not happy about this!)

Crackling.

(Boss, I support Stupid Dog on this point.)

Click-clack.

(Hey, Gamma thinks it's alright.)

Bubbling.

(No, this is the first time the owner has named something so fitting.)

Hearing the pets' complaints, Bai Qi was speechless.

So that's how bad he is at naming things? This must be a deep-seated grudge. He didn't think the name "Great Sun Dragon Cicada" was that good either.

"Ahem... A name is just a label, don't worry about it. As long as you're strong enough, being called 'Dog' is just as good."

Seeing that the pets had so many opinions about naming their animals, Bai Qi immediately stopped the topic. The pets accepted Bai Qi's explanation and stopped arguing about the name.

"But I really didn't expect that Epsilon would be the third creature to reach the monarch level. It's quite unexpected."

Shuke glanced at the transformed cordyceps and said, "Logically speaking, it should be more difficult to improve the bloodline of a mythical species."

"Perhaps it was because the Green Dragon bloodline balanced the Sun Wheel Beetle's bloodline that it was able to break through."

Bai Qi offered his guess, then looked at Gamma and Delta, the two left-behind children.

Delta's situation is special, and whether it can evolve is still uncertain. However, Gamma, as Bai Qi's third pet, has received considerable training in all aspects, but it was beaten to the punch by Cordyceps, the fifth pet, which is indeed somewhat disruptive to the team formation.

It seems I still need to have a "friendly exchange" with someone from the Borg family.

tearing~

The space above Bai Qi and the others suddenly tore open, and a beautiful figure descended from the sky, landing in front of them.

"Boss, is it already lunchtime?"

Upon seeing Granny Fan suddenly appear, Nicholas immediately realized something and hurriedly tried to run back to Emerald Valley to prepare food.

"No need, by the time you remember, I'll have starved to death."

Grandma Fan pulled Nicholas back from behind, then walked up to the cordyceps and examined it carefully.

"The aura of a mythical species, Bai Qi, where did you get it from?"

Bai Qi smiled sheepishly and briefly told Granny Fan about the Sun Secret Realm.

"I see, so it's a sun beetle?"

Granny Fan nodded and said, "This is a creature that would rank among the top even among mythical beings. You're lucky, kid. But why does this little guy also have the aura of a green dragon on him?"

"Epsilon is a symbiotic species, possessing two bloodlines simultaneously. It just fused with the Green Dragon Scale and the Green Dragon Blood, and leveled up immediately."

Bai Qi paused, glanced at Granny Fan's expression, and asked cautiously, "Granny, you are so knowledgeable, could it be that you've traveled from the mythical era...?"

Bai Qi stopped halfway through his sentence, looked at Granny Fan who had suddenly turned dark, and swallowed hard.

"Remember, never ask a woman's age casually, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Granny Fan's hair moved without wind, and her calm words carried an irresistible and terrifying pressure. All the male beings present, including Nicholas, nodded unconsciously.

Is this kind of power really just for a legendary creature?

A big question mark rose in Bai Qi's mind, but he quickly suppressed the thought after seeing Granny Fan, who was still exuding a terrifying aura.

We're too weak to say or ask anything, so we can only keep quiet.

Fortunately, Granny Fan realized her lapse in composure, calmed herself down, and said, "Our dragon race has bloodline inheritance. I have lived much longer than Nicholas, so I naturally know more."

"Oh, I understand."

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, then suddenly remembered something and grabbed the bullskin snake from the base.

"Human, why do you always like to disturb my slumber? It's my hibernation period now, can't you show some respect?"

The cowhide snake was clearly still half asleep, grumbling at Bai Qi with a resentful expression, but Bai Qi elegantly ignored it.

"Grandma, this is a creature I found by chance on the shore of Taize Lake. I'm a little confused about its origin. Grandma, have you seen it before?"

Bai Qi brought the cowhide snake to Granny Fan and asked her a question.

"Isn't this just an ordinary water snake? Hmm, wait, where did its soul go?"

Grandma Fan didn't pay much attention at first, just glanced at it casually, but she unexpectedly noticed the difference in the cowhide snake and immediately came closer to take a closer look.

"It looks kind of familiar..."

Granny Fan scrutinized the bullskin snake with a critical eye, which made the bullskin snake tremble with fear. With a whoosh, it broke free from Bai Qi's restraints and hid on Beta's neck.

This guy has a terrifying aura.

"Grandma Fan, have you seen this guy before?"

Bai Qi, upon hearing Granny Fan's mutterings, immediately perked up and asked in return.

Grandma Fan's true age is unknown, but judging from the history of the association, it has existed for at least a thousand years.

If Granny Fan really knows the cowhide snake, then the cowhide snake's origins are probably quite extraordinary.

"I don't know him."

Grandma Fan shook her head and said, "Grandma has seen too many snakes to recognize some of them. But this one's soul doesn't seem to be in its own body, which is quite interesting. How about we leave her here to play with her?"

Before Bai Qi could reply to Granny Fan's words, the bullskin snake shuddered and immediately ran off to a more distant place. But as it ran, it suddenly found itself back beside Granny Fan.

Granny Fan's spatial abilities are far superior to Delta's.

"I have no objections, as long as my mother-in-law is happy."

Bai Qi glanced at the cowhide snake, which was struggling to swim but could not get within a meter of Granny Fan, and couldn't help but chuckle. He agreed to Granny Fan's request without hesitation.

Although the cowhide snake looks like it has an extraordinary origin, it doesn't tell the truth. As for what use it is, apart from being used as food, it is not as useful as the Six Swordsmen and the Nine Cauldrons System.

Well, now it has another use: increasing Grandma Fan's favorability.

Suddenly I realized it was useful.

"Human, how can you be so heartless? I am..."

Before the snake could finish speaking, it felt a tremendous force kick it off the ground, the powerful impact even producing a whooshing sound as it crashed heavily onto a nearby mountain peak with a loud bang.

"Tsk, so durable, it's a pity it's a bit annoying, otherwise it would be a good toy."

Granny Fan glanced at him from afar, then turned to look at Bai Qi and the several pet beasts beside him, and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

"It's only been a few months, and your pet has become increasingly strange."

"The power of death, ancient spirits, angels, demons, and even the sun beetle—it seems like our Delta hasn't improved much at all."

As she spoke, Granny Fan suddenly grabbed Bai Qi by the collar and said, "Boy, tell the truth, have you mistreated Delta?"

"Cough cough... Grandma, this is a huge injustice! You know about Delta's situation. Apart from the Ancients, Delta can't maintain any of its forms for long. There's nothing I can do about it."

Bai Qi looked completely innocent, and Delta ran over to explain to him.

Bubbling.

(Grandma, don't wrong the master. He treats Delta very well.)

This is not an exaggeration. Although Bai Qi's improved conditions also played a part, Delta did indeed have a bunch of epic-level materials to eat as soon as she was contracted by Bai Qi. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise her basic stats to be comparable to a monarch-level creature.

"Hmm, it seems pretty good."

Granny Fan glanced at Delta a few times before loosening Bai Qi's collar.

"I've also thought about Delta's situation. Since it can only maintain the form of an ancient species, it shouldn't be related to its bloodline level, but rather to its age."

Grandma Fan paused for a moment, then said, "If you have the chance, I suggest you try to obtain some time-related materials, which might help Delta's evolution."

"Time system?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. He had thought that Delta could just focus on accumulating basic data and then, if it reached a certain limit, it might be able to force evolution using the Evolution Egg.

Bai Qi still had absolute confidence in the Evolutionary Egg.

However, judging from Granny Fan's words, it seems that time-based abilities are also feasible?

Grandma Fan nodded and said, "I've thought about it carefully. The ancient fossil genes you used for Delta were preserved through the erosion of time, and space is one of the few attributes that can be compared to time. Since Delta can absorb these two, there's no reason why time shouldn't be an option."

"I see, I'll keep that in mind."

Bai Qi nodded. He was about to exchange for resources, so he asked Tower Master Xiang if there were any time-related resources available for exchange.

"Ah~ I'm not full, I'm hungry. Grandma is going to bed now."

Grandma Fan yawned and turned to walk back towards the crack she had come from.

"By the way, Nicholas will be going out with you later, so you'd better take this secret realm with you. But before you leave, remember to clean it up inside, or I won't be responsible if something happens."

Halfway there, Grandma Fan suddenly stopped, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

"Grandma Fan already knows that Nicholas, you're coming out with me? Oh right, Chairman Zhao probably told him. But this cleaning... is it to remove the toxins from here?"

Bai Qi looked into the distance. Nicholas was rather lazy, so the poisonous gas in the Green Dragon Secret Realm was still thick. Cleaning it up would definitely be a huge project.

"Forget it, I'll go to the Tower of Decisions first, then go to the Tower of Relics to exchange for resources. I'll talk about the Green Dragon Secret Realm before I leave."

After a moment's thought, Bai Qi abandoned his plan to clean up the area immediately. He said goodbye to Nicholas and left the secret realm.

Redeeming points was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
