Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 432 They never intended for me to go to the next floor.

The environment on the fourth floor is significantly more complex than that on the third floor.

The pitch-black environment, the complex roads, and the unknown depths of the abyss beneath our feet all added to the difficulty of the exploration.

However, this did not affect Bai Qi at all.

"Human, you're almost as lazy as the Martial Emperor."

The cowhide snake looked at Bai Qi, who was leisurely lying on the recliner, with disdain and said, "With your depravity, it will be difficult for you to become the strongest."

Upon hearing the snake's words, Bai Qi glanced at it sideways and said, "Next time you say something like that, please get up from the recliner first and spit out the food in your mouth."

"I am giving you a friendly reminder."

The bullskin snake raised its head, then took a big bite of the pastry Bai Qi had taken out, and continued to criticize: "The reason why Emperor Wu can be so relaxed is because he is on good terms with a bunch of legendary creatures. You are far from that level now."

"A legendary creature...it's only a matter of time."

Bai Qi shrugged, not caring at all.

With the egg of evolution present, unless he dies halfway through... ugh, that's too unlucky. Becoming a legendary creature is a sure thing.

It's quite difficult to make all seven pets become legendary creatures. Even someone as powerful as the teacher only managed to get four of them to legendary status. Just imagine how many resources it would take to make them legendary.

"Thinking about it this way, I feel like the money I'm earning now is still not enough."

Bai Qi sat up from the recliner and began to think about ways to make money nowadays.

Aside from the Wuhou Consortium's spokesperson, the rest are rune stage one and two evolutions, spirit orbs, rune mechanical weapons, and weapon evolution.

Well, once the leap evolution is perfected, it should be able to apply for a patent. I just don't know if it will be a core patent or if it will be classified under the Armed Evolution section. But it should be able to make a lot of money.

After all, according to the data President Qin gave him, the number of Federation Spirit Masters is increasing, and the profits earned by related industries are also increasing.

However, it's still a bit short of the resources to support a legendary beast tamer.

As far as he knew, almost every legendary beastmaster was supported by at least one conglomerate, and even beastmasters from the Federation and the Association were funded by other businesses to varying degrees.

For example, the Jiuli Consortium was established with the support of the Zhao Futu family, the chairman of the consortium.

In other words, if he wants to train all seven pets into legendary pets, he needs to find some more profitable methods.

"How about becoming a plagiarist? Or making a game or something? Both of those seemed to be quite profitable in my past life."

Bai Qi scratched his head, unable to come up with any particularly good ideas for the time being, so he had to give up for the time being.

"Bai Qi, haven't your pets returned yet?"

Just then, Bai Qiucha, who had taken the bone dragon to training, ran back and looked at Bai Qi, who was still alone, and asked.

"It should be soon."

Bai Qi listened to the sounds coming from all over the cave, carefully sensing them through the contract, and asked, "Have you found anything over there?"

Bai Qiucha shook her head and said, "I only encountered a mid-level monarch-level creature. Its combat power wasn't high, but I obtained this after defeating it."

As she spoke, Bai Qiucha took out a fan-shaped stone and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "This looks like a fragment of a teleportation rune. I think we might need to collect all of these if we want to enter the next level."

"I see. I didn't realize the owner of this twilight tomb was quite the troublemaker."

Unlike human-owned secret realms, the Twilight Tomb is a stronghold built by a lich for himself, which is a good way to increase the difficulty for invaders.

Hopefully, Alpha and his team will achieve something.

Finally, accompanied by a series of rapid hoofbeats, Alpha was the first to return with the six swords, and also brought back a rune fragment.

Next came Husky, Gammajetta, Cordyceps, and everyone except Delta, who all returned one after another, each bringing back rune fragments.

Bai Qi put the six rune stones together and quickly pieced them together to form a circular rune with a missing corner.

"We're just one piece short of completing this section, waiting for Delta."

Bai Qi looked in the direction Delta had left. With Delta's spatial abilities, traveling should not be a problem, but she hadn't returned yet. Perhaps she encountered trouble during the battle.

"Now that I think about it, of the six pet beasts, only Delta didn't break through to the monarch level."

Because of Delta's special circumstances, Bai Qi consumed the most materials on Delta, even piling them up to the point of matching the level of a monarch-level creature. Combined with the void attribute, challenging a monarch-level creature beyond one's level was not a problem.

However, challenging someone of a higher level is still not as reliable as crushing someone of the same level.

"Hopefully, the space materials provided by the 13th Bureau will be strong enough, and ideally, they'll help Delta absorb the effects of the Blessing of Life as well."

Bubbling.

(Boss, I'm back.)

Just then, the space around Bai Qi suddenly shook, and then Delta emerged from the void carrying the last rune.

"Good, now we have all the teleportation runes."

Bai Qi took the rune fragment, placed it on the notch in the rune stone, and then waited attentively.

Then there is no more then.

"Why is there no movement? Is it broken?"

Bai Qi curiously examined the seven rune stones for a while, confirming that he had not misread the runes on them, and then reassembled them, but still there was no movement.

"How about we add some glue?"

Bai Qi couldn't think of a suitable solution for a while, and neither could Bai Qiucha.

"Is it possible that there are other fragments of this teleportation stone?"

Bai Qiucha offered her opinion, but before Bai Qi could respond, a flame suddenly ignited in the cave.

"There are still enemies?"

Bai Qiucha and her six pets immediately went into battle mode, while Bai Qi's face lit up with joy upon seeing the source of the fire.

"The Emperor's assistant! You're still here!"

When Bai Qi was about to enter the third level, the Dharma Emperor's assistant came out to stop him. He originally thought that this guy would not appear again, but he did not expect to run into him again.

"I was also surprised; I didn't expect you to make it this far."

Fireman glanced at the seven rune fragments in Bai Qi's hand and said, "The Law Emperor set a rule for me: I will only appear when someone collects all seven rune fragments."

As he spoke, the Fire Man looked around, seemingly searching for something.

"What are you looking for?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately inquired, "Since the Emperor of Law has arranged for fire-wielding people to guard this place, perhaps he knows how to enter the next level."

"After you have collected all seven runes, the Darkin Guardian will appear to steal them. You must wait for the Darkin Guardian to re-fuse the seven runes and defeat him before you can open the entrance to the next level."

Bai Qi: "..."

After hearing what the Fireman said, everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words.

No wonder the Darkin Guardians were so strong. After defeating them, they couldn't open the door to the next level, and they couldn't even collect all the runes. It turns out they were fighting the monsters in the wrong order.

"This feels a bit like playing World of Warcraft in my past life."

Bai Qi looked at the rune in his hand with a headache. The Darkin Guardian had already been eaten by Jerry, and unless another one appeared, he would never be able to enter the next level.

It's all so complicated; the owner of this Twilight Great Tomb clearly never intended for him to enter the next level.

"By the way, since you've been here the whole time, wasn't there a legendary beast tamer who rode a giant bird here before?"

Bai Qi suddenly looked up and asked.

"A powerful figure riding a giant bird? There is one, but he didn't collect the runes or trigger the mechanism left by the Dharma Emperor, so I didn't appear."

Fireman thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

"No runes were collected? Does that mean there's another way to get to the next level?"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. He clearly remembered that Bai Heguang had told him that the first six levels had been repaired, so Bai Heguang must have gone down level by level.

"No, normally, this is the only way to get to the next level."

Fireman shook his head, mercilessly extinguishing Bai Qi's hope.

"How did he get down there?"

Bai Qi was somewhat taken aback.

"It tore through space and went down directly."

Directly tearing through space?

Bai Qi and Bai Qiucha exchanged a glance, and the scene of Bai Heguang leading them directly into that deadly secret realm involuntarily flashed through their minds.

That's definitely the teacher's style...

"So, we have no choice but to go out and try again?"

Bai Qi sighed and asked.

"That's right, and the runestone you have is useless now. Come back in three days when the new runestone has been condensed."

"All right."

Bai Qi shrugged helplessly. Without Bai Heguang's brute-force method to break through the secret realm, he could only obediently follow the mechanism of the Twilight Great Tomb.

"In that case, I wish you good luck."

Seeing that Bai Qi understood, the Fire Man prepared to leave, but Bai Qi couldn't miss such an opportunity to ask for advice, so he quickly stopped him.

"I have a question for you. When the French Emperor created the Twin Celestial Mechs, did he use alchemy?"

Fireman shook his head upon hearing this and said, "I'm sorry, the mecha issue isn't my responsibility. If you happen to run into Black and White, he might be able to help you."

"Black and white? Where am I supposed to find him?"

Bai Qi felt a headache coming on. Several months had passed since Hei Bai ran away with the Twin Towers, and he already had no clue what to do. Now it was even more difficult to find them.

"Then, I look forward to your next visit."

The fire spirit showed no intention of waiting for Bai Qi, and disappeared as quietly as it had arrived.

"Bai Qi, what's our next step? Should I try a brute-force attack?"

Seeing Bai Qi's conflicted expression, Nicholas offered a suggestion.

"Hmm... never mind, the teacher just fixed it, let's not break it again and let the Death Knight in."

Bai Qi threw away the rune fragment in his hand with great disgust, glanced at the spot where the Darkin Summoner had died, and gritted his teeth.

It's just running a dungeon. I was a veteran raid player back in the day, what's there to be afraid of?

"Let's go back and rest for three days, then we'll come back!"
