Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 428 The Truth About the Undead Plague

Jetta's burst of power cleared out the bone grassland within a radius of several hundred meters. While the visual effect was excellent, it also left the other pets with nothing to do.

"Given the current trend, there's no point in staying on this third floor anymore. Should we just go straight to the fourth floor?"

Bai Qiucha looked around and, seeing the skeletal creatures that couldn't appear due to the residual lightning energy on the ground, offered her suggestion.

"Yes, the gatekeeper should be a skeletal creature, and its level is not low."

After he challenged the Nightmare Knight, the Death Knight appeared, along with a giant skeletal creature.

If he wasn't mistaken, that guy should be the gatekeeper.

If it weren't for the fact that fleecing the Bone Dragon was relatively easy, Bai Qi would most likely have come here to obtain materials to upgrade Alpha's skills.

"Skeletal creatures? Then leave them to the bone dragon."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiucha suddenly realized what was going on and summoned the Bone Dragon. After a brief exchange, the Bone Dragon spread its wings and flew into the air, looking around.

Soon, the bone dragons found their target.

A massive skeletal creature resembling a tiger, but its entire body is covered in bone spikes.

[Name]: Thorn Tyrant

[Attribute]: Undead

[Bloodline Level]: Mid-level Monarch

……

"Putting everything else aside, this guy is really big."

Looking at the Thorn Tyrant, which was even larger than the Bone Dragon, Bai Qi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

I didn't feel anything when the Death Knight trampled under my feet, but now that I'm facing him head-on, the sense of oppression is immediately overwhelming.

Moreover, two of these Thorn Tyrants appeared at once.

"Judging from their energy levels, these two Thorn Tyrants should be at least Tier 6. Let's finish this quickly."

Bai Qiucha's expression turned serious. Sixth-tier mid-level monarchs, and two of them at that. If they were dragged into a protracted war, they would definitely be the ones who suffer.

After all, these secret realms created by ferocious beasts don't reason with you or fight one-on-one. If they are not careful, the other skeletal creatures around them will definitely swarm them and leave them here.

"Only two? When did the Great Tomb of Twilight become so conscientious?"

Unlike Bai Qiucha's caution, Bai Qi was somewhat surprised.

The guardians of the first two levels counted the number of his pets as part of the enemy's count, summoning as many as they came.

This time, they even brought a legendary dragon, yet they only managed to summon two Thorn Tyrants?

"Could this be the secret realm the teacher mentioned before? Is it now only based on the number of beast tamers?"

Seeing Bai Qi's disgusted expression, Bai Qiucha couldn't help but smile wryly.

He was certainly confident that Bai Qi could take care of these two enemies, but didn't he seem a little too relaxed?

boom!

Seemingly sensing the contempt of the two humans before him, the Thorn Tyrant launched the first attack, its giant claws covered in bone spikes mercilessly slapping at the two, but was forcibly stopped by the Bone Dragon.

"One head per person, let's finish this quickly so we can explore the fourth level sooner."

Bai Qiucha controlled the bone dragon to pull a thorny tyrant aside and shouted at Bai Qi.

"no problem."

Bai Qi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the six pet beasts before finally settling on Alpha.

"Alpha, try out this new skill."

Crackling.

(No problem, boss.)

Alpha stepped out of the group and looked at the Thorn Tyrant rushing towards them at high speed. With a wave of his hand, countless white bones buried underground burst out of the ground uncontrollably and intertwined with each other, turning into a huge bone cage that forcibly stopped the Thorn Tyrant.

Skeleton control allows one to easily control unclaimed or weaker skeletal creatures within their perception range, including themselves, to engage in combat.

"This move is starting to resemble that of a necromancer."

Bai Qi grinned at the sight, while Bai Qiucha, who was fighting the Thorn Tyrant nearby, was also taken aback.

Many skeletal creatures possess the skill of controlling skeletons, but few can manipulate them on such a large scale.

However, those who mastered this skill almost all left a significant mark on human history.

The Scourge of the Dead.

"Bai Qi, you didn't ask me for the bone dragon's bones just to upgrade this skill, did you?"

Bai Qiucha's mind worked extremely fast, and she immediately connected Alpha's changes with the previous battle.

"That's right, but I didn't expect it to work so well."

Bai Qi nodded. He had originally thought that it could only affect skeletal creatures in a small area, but he did not expect that Alpha could do so.

This is definitely the second surprise today, besides Jetta's berserk fighting style.

"You'd better be careful, or people will mistake you for an undead scourge."

Bai Qiucha kindly reminded them that the undead calamity had caused considerable harm to humanity, and if not properly controlled, it could indeed cause some destruction.

"Don't worry, it hasn't come to that yet."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this and focused his mental energy on controlling the skeleton.

[Skill Name]: Bone Control

[Skill Level]: Super

[Skill Description]: Manipulate the skeletons within the perception range.

[Skill Upgrade]: 1. Skeleton Overlord - Extraordinary Level: Possesses absolute control over skeletal creatures within the perception range, and can even create skeletal creatures from corpses for one's own use.

Upgrade Plan: Skeleton Mastery (Super-Perfect) - Insufficient Level + Soul Awakening (Super-Perfect) - Missing = Skeleton Overlord

2. Undead Overlord - ? ? ?: Possesses absolute control over undead creatures within its perception range, and can even create undead creatures from corpses for its own use.

Upgrade plan: Skeleton Control (Super-Perfect) - Insufficient Level + Soul Awakening (Super-Perfect) - Missing + Corpse Control (Advanced-Perfect) - Missing + Undead Control (Super-Perfect) - Missing = Undead Overlord.

……

After Alpha gained control over the skeletons, Bai Qi also tried to take a look and successfully obtained the upgrade plan for the skeleton control.

Skeletons rule, the dead rule.

Upon seeing these two evolutionary branches, Bai Qi understood the truth behind the Undead Catastrophe.

Whether it's the Skeleton Overlord or the Undead Overlord, mastering just one of their skills is enough to unleash a necromantic catastrophe that terrifies all living beings.

As for the current skeleton control, it can only control the skeletons that already exist; it cannot create them.

But that's enough.

boom!boom!boom! ...

The bone cage that Alpha created using the skeletons was significantly stronger than the Thorn Tyrant had anticipated. It struggled for a long time but could not break free. Even if it was damaged, it would be quickly replaced by new skeletons.

In this White Bone Grassland, the skeletons are almost endless.

However, the Thorn Tyrant was, after all, a sixth-tier monarch. When it saw that ordinary attacks could not break free from Alpha's bone cage, it roared to the sky and shot out all its bone thorns, instantly breaking through the bone cage and flying away in all directions without slowing down.

Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately constructed a wall of bones in front of Bai Qi for protection, while he himself wielded the Sword of Death and took the initiative to attack the Thorn Tyrant.

Taking the initiative to attack is Alpha's best fighting style.

Seeing that Alpha still dared to step forward, the Thorn Tyrant did not waste the opportunity. Countless bone spikes sprouted from its body again, extending wildly like branches. It would occasionally shoot out a few bone spikes to launch a sneak attack, giving Alpha no chance to get close.

The Thorn Tyrant's most common fighting style is its infinitely regenerating bone spikes, making it equally strong in both ranged and melee combat.

Alpha showed no fear in the face of the Thorn Tyrant's attacks, deftly dodging the bone spikes that seemed to fly from nowhere while simultaneously slashing at the Thorn Tyrant with its sword.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, the spikes on the Thorn Tyrant's body were instantly corroded by the Sword of Death, turning into ashes and scattering. The black power of death relentlessly spread along the skeleton towards the Thorn Tyrant.

The appearance of the power of death made the Tyrant feel threatened, and without hesitation, it discarded that part of its body, and the giant claw wrapped in the power of shadow slammed down on Alpha from the other side.

Even if Alpha takes the hit, it will be forced to create distance, and it won't be so easy for Alpha to get close again.

However, just as the Thorn Tyrant's attack was about to hit Alpha, a wall of white bones suddenly emerged from the ground, blocking the Thorn Tyrant's attack.

Immediately afterwards, several more walls of white bones emerged from the ground, quickly sealing off all movement of the Thorn Tyrant's limbs.

At the same time, Alpha used the bone wall for leverage, transforming into a blur as it rushed to the Thorn Tyrant's head, its sword of death firmly locking onto the Thorn Tyrant's soul flame.

Upon seeing this, the bone spikes on the Thorn Tyrant's body rapidly extended, enveloping its entire head and imbuing it with shadow power, greatly enhancing the strength of the bone spikes.

call……

All that could be heard was the howling of the wind. The sword of wind swept past, instantly slicing the dense bone spikes into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

Before the Thorn Tyrant could rebuild its defenses and launch a counterattack, the Sword of Death pierced through its head and mercilessly plunged into its soul fire.

In an instant, the flames went out, and the enormous skeletal beast collapsed with a crash, utterly lifeless.

"Alpha is awesome!"

Seeing Alpha so easily defeat the Thorn Tyrant, Cordyceps immediately showered him with flattery, while the other pets were also amazed by Alpha's clean and efficient fighting style.

Indeed, it was the right decision to defy the Beastmaster's threats and cancel the intra-team battle.

With such terrifying combat power, this isn't some kind of internal team battle; it's clearly a brutal, masochistic fight.

"As expected, Bai Qi, you didn't use your full strength when you fought the Bone Dragon."

Bai Qiucha smiled bitterly upon seeing this. Although the Sword of Chasing Wind and the Sword of Karmic Fire were also very strong, he knew very well that the Sword of Death was Alpha's most powerful skill.

He used to be so proud of the psychic's incredible abilities, but now it seems he was too proud for too long.
