Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 389 The Twelve Guardians

Bai Qi watched with curiosity as the blood cat berated Li Xusheng.

"Minister Yi, may I ask about Li Xusheng's bloodline?"

Yi Yu smiled and said, "Of course, after all, it's not something that needs to be hidden."

As he spoke, Yi Yu pointed to the twelve statues surrounding the main hall and said, "These are the twelve oldest guardians of Eden. These guardians have been protecting humanity for thousands of years and did not leave until the establishment of the Federation. Xu Sheng's bloodline comes from one of them."

"The bloodline of the Twelve Guardians?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Li Xusheng, who was being scolded by Blood Cat with a helpless expression.

No wonder Li Xusheng was able to fuse with four pet beasts at the same time; it was only with such a powerful bloodline that Li Xusheng possessed such an abnormal physique.

"So, who exactly is it?"

Bai Qi became increasingly curious. The creatures represented by these twelve guardian statues were incredibly diverse. Considering that Night Nineteen and Night One Hundred and Seven were different creatures, Bai Qi found it difficult to make a judgment.

Upon seeing this, Yi Yu smiled and said, "It's that one, the Blood Guardian, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor."

Eternal Night Blood Emperor?

The name sounds a bit like "vampire clan"?

Bai Qi looked in the direction Yi Yu was pointing and saw a... orange cat wrapped in a cloak?

"Minister Yi, are you sure this is the Eternal Night Blood Emperor?"

Yi Yu nodded and smiled, "No need to be so surprised. After all, blood control isn't the exclusive domain of any one race, right?"

"That seems to be true."

Bai Qi understood, and the image of an orange cat wearing a cloak, walking in the night, sucking blood everywhere, involuntarily appeared in his mind.

No, the more I think about it, the weirder it gets.

Bai Qi shook his head, trying to banish the image from his mind. Meanwhile, Night 107 finally stopped lecturing Li Xusheng and said, "Sorry, I lost track of time once I started talking. Please follow me."

"OK."

Yi Yu nodded and followed, while Bai Qi leaned close to Li Xusheng and whispered, "May I ask how many grandparents you have?"

"have no idea."

Li Xusheng snorted coldly and shook off Bai Qi, while Bai Qi looked on with a gossipy expression.

Could this be the completion of the 108 heroes?

Led by Blood Cat, the three quickly arrived at their respective residences.

"This is reserved for the 13th Infantry. You can stay anywhere you like. Anyway, those guys from Team Zero are definitely going back to their parents' houses."

Blood Cat licked its paws, then leaped onto Li Xusheng and said, "Little Xusheng, come with me to see your great-grandfather."

"I still need to cultivate, so I won't go."

Li Xusheng pushed the blood cat off him, turned around and went into his room.

"This little guy is still so awkward."

Blood Cat yawned, didn't insist, and vanished in a flash of blood.

"Minister Yi, are all the Guardian families like this, hmm, so prosperous in terms of their beast population?"

Watching the blood cat disappear into the distance, Bai Qi couldn't help but ask.

Yi Yu shook his head and said, "Not all of them. It's just that the Eternal Night Blood Emperor has his own preferences. The descendants of other guardians are relatively rare."

"Is that so..."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, but after thinking about the two completely different species, Ye Shijiu and Ye Yibailingqi, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

As expected of one of the twelve oldest guardians of Eden, they completely ignored reproductive isolation, almost catching up with the Eastern dragon race.

"Oh? I never expected to run into you here, Bai Qi. This is quite an unexpected bonus."

Just then, a familiar voice came from the side. Bai Qi looked over and saw a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes walking slowly towards him, followed by a man and a woman.

"Dean Berg?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up when he saw this. Sure enough, the Borg family had also come to participate.

Hmm, isn't it a bit too direct to issue a challenge directly?

But I really want Gamma to eat another Angel Wing.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Bai Qi's face, while Yi Yu, standing to the side, suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and said, "I won't disturb your conversation, young people. I'll take my leave first."

Dean nodded, then looked at Bai Qi again and said, "I didn't have a chance to chat with you much last time in the Sun Realm, but this time we finally have the opportunity."

"Communication? No problem!"

Bai Qi nodded repeatedly, wishing he could drag Dean and the others to a battlefield for a fight right now.

"Haha...that's good. We might have a chance when we get back to the banquet."

Dinner?

Judging from this, tonight's meal won't be an easy one.

"We still need to see the Guardian; we'll talk later."

Dean exchanged a few more polite words with Bai Qi before preparing to leave, and Bai Qi did not stop him.

He wasn't particularly familiar with the Dean family, and if he hadn't been eyeing their angel wings, he probably wouldn't have bothered talking to them so much.

Dean led the way, followed closely by Lilith and Ellis. However, as they passed Bai Qi, Lilith suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at him.

"I will defeat you!"

Bai Qi saw Lilith's lip movements, shrugged, and thought, "It's good that she holds a grudge; it saves me the trouble of finding a reason."

Watching the three leave, Bai Qi turned around and went back to his room.

"Phew~ I can finally get some rest."

Bai Qi lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the soft, warm mattress beneath him, trying to relax his body as much as possible, but his mind began to stir.

The progress of the Platinum Egg is currently stuck at 99%, which was just completed in Eden.

However, it would be best to try to get close to the guardian, since he wasn't sure if he could still do what he did when he encountered the Nine Netherworld Sparrow, where he could just rely on his aura to reach the maximum.

Also, with so many pets here, I wonder if there's any way to exchange them for resources. If so, I'd love to farm them all.

Filled with anticipation, Bai Qi slowly entered a meditative state, gradually pushing his mental power toward the limit of a fifth-tier beast tamer.

……

Boom boom boom!

A knock on the door interrupted Bai Qi's meditation. Bai Qi got up, went to the door, opened it, and saw Li Xusheng standing at his door.

"The banquet is about to begin; the minister requests our presence."

After saying that, Li Xusheng walked straight ahead.

Why does this guy seem so awkward after arriving in Eden? He seemed alright the last time we met.

Bai Qi shook his head, quickly followed, and entered the hall.

The hall was now packed with all sorts of creatures, but they were all sitting properly in their respective places, making Dean and his group of humans sitting in front stand out.

Bai Qi followed Li Xusheng to the position in front of the 13th inning, where Yi Yu and the five members of Team Zero were already waiting.

"Xiao Xusheng, why are you so late? The guardians will be here soon."

Wang Chuan waved his hand at Li Xusheng and said, "Did you oversleep?"

I guess so.

Li Xusheng still ignored Wang Chuan, found his seat and sat down without saying a word. Wang Chuan was used to this, and immediately changed his target, running up to Bai Qi and saying, "Bai Qi, were you resting just now? What a pity, I was planning to take you around Eden Garden."

"Thank you, maybe next time."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, while Wang Chuan seemed to have become interested, saying excitedly, "We'll be able to see the twelve guardians who protect the Federation soon! I'm so excited! Hey, Bai Qi, what about you?"

"Um."

Bai Qi's lips twitched as he looked at Wang Chuan, who was talking to himself, and suddenly he understood why Li Xusheng had always ignored Wang Chuan.

"Alright, Wang Chuan, shut up. The guardians are here."

Finally, Tan Lang stopped Wang Chuan from making a scene and shifted everyone's attention to the twelve huge stone chairs at the front of the hall.

At some point, twelve figures of varying heights appeared on the previously empty stone chair, but they were all hidden in the mist, appearing and disappearing, making it impossible to discern their identities behind the mist.

Bai Qi recognized one of them at a glance.

Wearing a cloak, he was hidden in the blood mist.

Who else could it be but the Eternal Night Blood Emperor?

"Is this what humanity relies on for survival?"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the twelve guardians, Bai Qi suddenly heard the sound of an eggshell cracking in his mind; the progress of the evolution egg had finally reached one hundred percent.

Finally, I've maxed out the Evolution Eggs.

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. He could clearly feel that his mental strength had reached a bottleneck, and now all that was missing was his physical constitution.

If Gamma can successfully evolve into a monarch-level creature here, the resulting stamina expenditure and feedback should be enough to allow him to advance to the sixth rank.

I'm getting more and more excited.

As the twelve guardians arrived, the many pets and humans in the hall gradually quieted down, their eyes all focused on the twelve chairs in front of them.

After a brief silence, a figure sitting in the center slowly rose, and his body, which had been shrouded in mist, gradually came into view.

However, it was a tall woman dressed in red.

"This aura is incredibly strong!"

The moment Bai Qi saw the woman, he immediately felt an invisible pressure, and his body involuntarily tensed up, as if he were being watched by some terrifying creature.

The last time he felt this kind of aura was when he met Granny Fan.

This woman in red is probably on the same level as Granny Fan!

"Welcome, everyone, to Eden's annual New Year's Eve dinner. I don't like to waste time with pleasantries, let's get started and celebrate!"

roar roar...

In an instant, cheers erupted in the hall, and countless black figures flashed through the space. Exquisite dishes suddenly appeared on the previously empty tables.

"Uh, are we just going to start eating already? Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of event?"

Bai Qi looked bewildered at the crowd around him who had already begun to feast, somewhat lost in thought.

What happened to the promised SSS-level mission? What happened to getting plenty of rest and energy for the banquet?

So this is just dry rice served right away?

It's not even Chinese New Year yet.
