Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 417 Escape from Death

Awoo awoo!

(The fire elemental is catching up!)

"Holy crap, how did it suddenly reappear!"

Seeing this, Bai Qi cursed under his breath and was about to run away when he saw the snow doll hopping and skipping into the cave.

Snore snore~

After disappearing into the cave, the snow doll suddenly popped its head back up and waved at Bai Qi.

"Are you calling me in?"

Bai Qi was stunned when he saw this. Looking at the fire giant getting closer and closer behind him, he didn't care about anything else and followed the snow doll into the room.

Seeing this, the other five pets followed suit, and by the time the fire giant arrived, all five pets had already crawled inside.

Roar!

Seeing Bai Qi escape right under his nose again, the fire giant grew even angrier and punched the cave.

"Damn it, this time I've really brought this upon myself!"

Seeing this, Bai Qi felt a chill in his heart and immediately pulled Delta to jump. At this moment, a blue light suddenly appeared in the cave. Then Bai Qi saw a blue rune array emerge at the bottom of the cave, which quickly piled up and sealed the entrance to the cave.

boom!

The fire giant's heavy fist struck the blue rune array, sending sparks flying and causing the cave to shake violently, with pebbles constantly falling from above Bai Qi's head.

However, the fire giant's attack was still stopped.

"Is this safe?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to check the condition of the cave.

The cave was small, and you could see the end of it at a glance. It was covered in frost, a stark contrast to the fiery landscape outside.

"This kind of place shouldn't exist in the fire elemental realm, unless it's connected to the water elemental realm?"

After a moment's thought, Bai Qi focused his attention on the blue rune array in the middle of the cave.

Because of the need to withstand the attack of the fire giant, the blue rune array flickered violently, and Bai Qi could not see the specific appearance of the rune array at all. Instead, he was shivering from the cold air emanating from the rune array.

Snoring?

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, the snow doll was clearly puzzled. She tilted her head and looked at Bai Qi a few times before running to a snow pit and lying down.

"I didn't realize this guy was so bold."

Bai Qi glanced at the fire giant that was still attacking, then at the snow doll that seemed about to fall asleep, and couldn't help but chuckle.

This guy, who was about to cry if he raised his voice even slightly, was completely unmoved by the huge creature outside. I really don't know how to describe him.

"Perhaps this is the source of the mythical species' confidence?"

Thinking of the information he had gleaned from the snow doll, Bai Qi recalled his previous thoughts and walked up to the snow doll, examining it with great interest.

Judging from its energy aura, this snow doll's growth level is at least Tier 3, but whether it's a mid-level monarch or a mythical species, it's quite worthwhile to form a contract with it.

Most importantly, this guy doesn't look like a normal elemental creature at all.

"Tsk, it would be a shame to miss out on something that could increase the progress of the Diamond Egg by 20% in one go."

Bai Qi stroked his chin and quickly made a decision. Just as he was thinking about how to trick the snow doll into becoming his pet, the cave suddenly fell silent.

"Did that guy give up?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see this and was about to check the situation when Shuke suddenly deployed his Mechanical Lord to block the entrance to the cave, and Alpha instantly appeared in front of Bai Qi, creating a death field.

Rumble...

With a deafening roar, a giant flaming fist broke through the blue rune array's blockade and slammed heavily into the wall constructed by the mechanical lord. The ethereal gold, which was originally capable of bearing near-legendary power, was instantly shattered by the giant fist.

After breaking through the ethereal wall, the fiery giant fist's momentum did not diminish in the slightest, landing mercilessly on the death field.

Unlike the etheric wall, the death field did not shatter directly, but Alpha's entire skeleton, located at the center of the field, suddenly became covered with cracks, and would shatter completely with the slightest touch.

"Damn it, what level of creature is this?!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi's eyes sharpened, and he immediately instructed Gamma and the others to set up their force fields to help, while simultaneously searching for a way out.

Awoo awoo!

(I've found the exit!)

Just then, Beta barked wildly at the blue rune array inside the cave. Bai Qi looked closely and was shocked to find that beneath the blue rune array was an elemental gate.

"As expected, this is the border between other elemental realms."

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to the Elemental Gate and poured his spiritual power into it. The rune array that had been forcibly broken by the fire giant was reopened, and the Elemental Gate gradually opened as well.

"Men, get out of here!"

Seeing that the Elemental Gate had been successfully opened, Bai Qi immediately called for the other pets to leave. The pets did not hesitate and, while resisting the giant fiery fist, they approached the Elemental Gate.

Snoring?

Seeing that the group wanted to leave, Snow Doll seemed to wake up from a dream and staggered to the Elemental Gate, as if she also wanted to go in.

"Little one, want to come with me?"

Seeing the giant fiery fist getting closer and closer above him, Bai Qi didn't bother with any tricks and directly extended an invitation to the Snow Doll. The Snow Doll seemed to like Bai Qi quite a bit and readily nodded, jumping towards the Elemental Gate.

boom!

However, to Bai Qi's surprise, the snow doll bumped headfirst into the elemental gate, as if the opened gate was just an illusion.

"Damn it, I opened it but can't get through. This is going to kill me!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi cursed angrily and was about to lead his pets in a desperate fight against the fire giant when Shuke leaped in and disappeared inside.

"No problem? Then why can't you get in?"

Bai Qi looked at the snow doll with a puzzled expression, but the snow doll looked blank and obviously didn't understand the reason either.

Crackling!

(Boss, I can't hold on much longer!)

Just then, Alpha warned Bai Qi, as did Gamma and Cordyceps, who were also involved in the defense.

Although they were both fire giants, this one was completely different from the Fiery Tyrant. If it weren't for the rune array that buffered them, they even doubted whether they could withstand the first wave of impact.

Bai Qi nodded, glanced at the snow doll who couldn't pass through the elemental gate no matter how hard she tried, and directly activated the runes on the back of her hand.

"Don't resist, I'll take you away from here!"

The snow doll was taken aback upon hearing this, instinctively wanting to resist the binding force of the two runes, but after seeing the fire giant getting closer and closer above its head, it gave up resisting.

The contract process went exceptionally smoothly, and the Snow Doll quickly appeared in Bai Qi's Beast Taming Space. At the same time, Bai Qi also felt a strange power surging into his soul.

This is the feedback that came after making a contract with the Snow Doll.

However, Bai Qi didn't have time to experience the changes brought about by the snow doll, and immediately entered the elemental gate.

After Bai Qi left, Gamma immediately expanded its size, protecting Alpha and Delta. At the same time, it spat out its main body, attached itself to Alpha, and rushed into the Elemental Gate together.

Seeing Bai Qi and the others flee in front of him again, the fire giant was furious. Just as he was about to forcefully break through the elemental gate, Gamma's body rushed towards the fire giant and exploded before the fire giant could retaliate.

This clone, which contained 99% of Gamma's energy, suddenly exploded, creating a terrifying blast wave, but it could only halt the fire giant's movements by half a second.

However, in just that short distance, the Elemental Gate closed completely, and even after directly withstanding the attack from the Flame Giant, there was no abnormality whatsoever.

The entrance and exit connecting the elemental realms are not so easily broken.

……

On a frozen lake.

Three dog heads suddenly emerged from the water, followed by a crystal skull holding a young man, and then several more pets rushed out of the ice.

"Phew~ I almost thought I was going to freeze to death in the lake."

Bai Qi jumped off Alpha and hugged the cordyceps tightly. The cordyceps was very obedient and carefully released its heat to dispel the cold from Bai Qi's body.

Awoo awoo?

(We should have escaped by now, right?)

Shuke looked around with lingering fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was not in the fire elemental realm.

"They should be alright now, otherwise we'd probably be finished by now."

Thinking of the powerful combat strength displayed by that fire giant, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little scared, and then began to check the status of his pets.

Shuke was the first to notice the fire giant's attack, but he was very clever and severed the connection after building an ether wall, so he didn't suffer much damage.

Alpha, serving as the second line of defense, withstood the fire giant's attack squarely, its entire skeleton shattered. Bai Qi suspected that if Alpha made even the slightest movement, it might be completely destroyed.

"Thank goodness you're here, Alpha."

Bai Qi gently patted Alpha's body, then put it into his beast-taming space and placed a diamond egg inside.

With the Diamond Egg, as long as it's not a fatal injury, Bai Qi is confident that Alpha can recover to its peak condition, and perhaps even make some progress.

After all, Alpha did far too many similar training exercises in its early stages.

After checking on Alpha, Bai Qi began to examine the status of the other pets.

Fortunately, thanks to Alpha, they suffered almost no damage, though they were all somewhat exhausted.

"Although the process was a bit thrilling, we managed to escape alive at least."

A smile appeared on Bai Qi's face before he began to examine his surroundings.

"Hmm? Why does this place look so familiar? Isn't this the Water Elemental Realm?"

"Based on the tests, this should be Taize Lake, and the place we just came from seems to be the location where the cowhide snake was found."

Having already sensed something amiss, Shuke projected a map in front of Bai Qi, and the location on it showed that they were indeed on Taize Lake.

"We've been teleported directly back to Taize Lake?"
