Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 434 Dreaming of a Green Dragon: A Terrible Omen

The Great Tomb at Dusk.

Fourth floor.

"Shuke, Beta, and Jerry, you're responsible for holding off the Darkin Summoners and controlling the number of Darkin Demons."

"Epsilon, you're in charge of clearing out the shadow creatures around here and getting those seven parasites moving as well."

"Alpha, take the Six Swords and go collect the rune fragments."

"Gamma, you assist Jeta, and Alpha, search for rune fragments from two directions."

"Delta, you're fast, just roam around and bring me back all the rune fragments as soon as you get them!"

Standing on Nicholas's back, Bai Qi strategized and clearly assigned tasks to the six pets, as if he had returned to the time when he was commanding dungeons in his previous life.

It's so nostalgic. It's a pity we can't play games like World of Warcraft here.

This world's technology level far surpasses that of the previous world, and there are many kinds of games, including virtual reality games.

But games are just games, and they are still quite different from actually controlling beasts, especially after Bai Qi created the profession of Spirit Master, making it increasingly difficult for the game industry to survive.

However, it seems there's not much difference between running dungeons and clearing secret realms.

"Then I'll go collect runes too."

Seeing Bai Qi so skillfully assigning tasks to the six pets, Bai Qiucha was surprised, but quickly found her own place in the game.

"Okay, let's hurry up. We don't know what might happen if the summoner is left idle for too long."

Bai Qi nodded in agreement, then focused his mind and remotely controlled the actions of the six pet beasts through the contract.

According to Fireman, the seven runes need to be fused together by the Darkin Summoner before they can function. Putting aside what will happen after the fusion, if the delay is too long, who knows what the Darkin Summoner might do.

After all, letting a summoner summon at will is quite a dangerous thing.

Fortunately, this was the second time they were running the dungeon, and the pets were much more efficient. They managed to collect the seven runes before the Darkin Summoner could unleash his full power.

"So, what's the next step? Just throw it over there?"

Bai Qi looked at the seven rune fragments in his hand and said.

"Perhaps, we could give it a try?"

Bai Qiucha tilted her head and thought for a moment, then agreed with Bai Qi's idea.

"Let's give it a try. If all else fails, we can come back in three days. We can treat it as leveling up."

Bai Qi nodded and handed the rune fragments to Alpha. Alpha bounced them around and gave them a strong flick, sending the seven rune fragments flying precisely to the Darkin Summoner.

Upon seeing the seven rune fragments appear, the Darkin Summoner's actions changed instantly. He swallowed all seven runes in one gulp, and a huge rune array appeared beneath him.

After the rune array appeared, the Darkin Summoner's body began to slowly melt, along with the surrounding Darkin demons and shadow creatures, which were also swallowed up.

"Is it the same old trick again? Devouring and evolving?"

Bai Qiucha said upon seeing this.

"It doesn't look like it. Why do I feel like it's summoning something? A sacrifice?"

Bubbling.

(Master, that rune array seems to be a teleportation array; something is being teleported here.)

Using his senses of the void, Delta was the first to notice the anomaly. Bai Qi raised an eyebrow and immediately said to his six pet beasts, "Don't let him succeed in summoning! Take him down!"

Upon hearing this, the six pets obeyed the order and launched an attack on the Darkin Summoner together.

But that rune array was really strange; no matter how the six pets attacked, they were all swallowed up.

Finally, the Darkin Summoner was completely absorbed by the rune array, and a black undead wielding a scythe emerged from it.

"Holy crap, a Blood Scythe Demon?"

Bai Qi's heart skipped a beat. This fire elemental was going too far. It should have at least warned him that it would summon a legendary creature, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk.

"It's not the Blood Scythe Demon, but the precursor to the Blood Scythe Demon, the Nightmare Dead Apostle."

Bai Qiucha shook her head and said, "Nightmare Death Apostles love to use nightmares to attack the souls of their enemies. If your mental strength isn't strong enough, you can easily die completely in the dream. Be careful."

As she spoke, Bai Qiucha went into armed mode, fully on guard against the Nightmare Dead Apostle's attack.

"Dream attack?"

Bai Qi was stunned upon hearing this, and unconsciously looked at the cordyceps. Then he felt a jolt in his soul, and everything around him suddenly disappeared, leaving only the Nightmare Death Apostle that was slowly flying towards him.

"Okay, I'm going to dream now."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi smacked his lips. This was a much more efficient way to pull him into the dream world so quietly than cordyceps. This Nightmare Dead Apostle must be an Emperor-level creature.

However, using dreams at this time is really a bit...

They've walked right into the trap!

Just as the Nightmare Dead Apostle was about to reach Bai Qi, a blue-gold insect suddenly blocked its way. The dazzling sunlight made even the Nightmare Dead Apostle unconsciously take two steps back.

But before it could react, a crystal skull wielding four longswords suddenly appeared and attacked it.

Then, a strange three-headed wolf, a winged slime monster, an excessively strong proto-beast, and a snow doll with tears streaming down its face appeared in the dream one after another.

"How did you all end up in my dream?!"

The appearance of the six pets caught Nightmare Dead Apostle off guard, and he questioned them in a gloomy voice.

"So, these are indeed imperial creatures; they can talk now?"

Bai Qi grinned upon seeing this. If it were any other offensive method, it would be one thing, but a dream world—it's practically like deliberately running into the Cordyceps' home turf.

The dream weaver is not kidding you.

"Epsilon, treat him well. Oh no, he's an away player for now, so be polite and just scare him a little."

"Don't worry, Chief, I will make sure he never forgets this."

In the dream, the cordyceps changed its cowardly appearance from the outside world, exuding an indomitable aura, and its body gradually grew larger.

Although the Nightmare Dead Apostle's dream was not created by him, as long as he is connected to the Dream Weaver, Cordyceps can still mobilize some of his abilities to strengthen himself.

Not only that, Alpha and the others also felt that they had gained a certain amount of improvement, especially the husky whose mental power had mutated, which had become like a demonic hound that devoured the heavens.

Ironically, the Nightmare Dead Apostle that attacked first was the smallest in size.

"You, you guys, don't come any closer!"

Then, to the horrified look in the Nightmare Dead Apostle's eyes, the six pets swarmed forward and began to beat the Nightmare Dead Apostle.

Beyond the dream.

Fully armed, Bai Qiucha forcibly withstood the mental impact of the Nightmare Dead Apostle. Just as she was about to remind Bai Qi to be careful again, she found that Bai Qi was just standing there stupidly, without moving.

"Damn it, is it still too slow?"

Seeing this, Bai Qiucha cursed inwardly. Although Bai Qi's mental strength far surpassed his, it was still much weaker than that of a pet beast.

Nightmare Dead Apostles' favorite tactic is to kill them one by one, from weakest to strongest, according to the strength of their mental power.

"We need to find a way to wake Bai Qi up."

Bai Qiucha looked around and then set her sights on Nicholas.

The purpose of having a legendary creature by your side is precisely to prevent this situation.

However, just as Bai Qiucha was about to seek help, she suddenly discovered something unusual.

Besides Bai Qi, the other six pets, including Alpha, also fell into a deep sleep, as did the Nightmare Dead Apostle, who was on the offensive.

"It seems that Bai Qi's Great Sun Dragon Cicada also has dream-related skills?"

Seeing this, Bai Qiucha gradually calmed down, and after seeing Nicholas fall asleep at some unknown time, she was completely relieved.

"Indeed, luck is also a part of strength."

……

Back to the dream.

After a brief moment of panic, Nightmare Death Apostle finally remembered its Emperor-level status. With a roar, it forcefully sent the six pets flying and began to control its dream world to launch a counterattack against Cordyceps.

Both being dream-based skills, the competition boils down to who can overwrite the other's dream, which is somewhat similar to the confrontation of force fields.

The strength of a dream depends entirely on the strength of one's mental power.

Sure enough, after Nightmare Dead Apostle reacted, the attacks of Alpha's six pets became much less effective against it, forcing it to return to Bai Qi's side and concentrate all its mental energy to fight back.

With the Dream Weaver at its center, the six pet beasts and Bai Qi's spiritual power merged perfectly, and they actually withstood the erosion of the Nightmare Dead Apostle.

"Damn human, you have successfully provoked my wrath! I will banish you to an endless nightmare forever!"

Seeing that he couldn't even take down a few king-level creatures, Nightmare Dead Apostle became furious. The sky was suddenly shrouded in an ominous dark red cloud, which slowly eroded towards Bai Qi.

Emperor-level, the highest level of beings in this world, possesses absolute advantages in both soul and body.

This advantage is difficult to overcome by simply increasing numbers.

Even so, Bai Qi's face showed no worry whatsoever, but rather a hint of sympathy.

"While it may not make much sense for a boss to say something like that, next time before you try to show off, remember to check if there are any hidden big shots around."

"These days, big shots love fishing the most."

Click...

Just as the Nightmare Dead Apostle was about to completely seize control of the dream, a cracking sound suddenly came from within the dream. Then, a jade-green color slowly appeared in the sky, gradually pushing the dark red clouds back.

Then, a huge green dragon head emerged from the jade-like aura. Its emerald green dragon eyes looked around before it suddenly emerged and landed near Bai Qi.

"Bai Qi, how did you suddenly end up in my dream? Why didn't you call out to me?"

Nicholas asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I didn't want to either; we were all forcibly dragged into this."

Bai Qi shrugged, pointed to the Nightmare Dead Apostle trembling opposite him, and said, "Look, this is the guy. He was just thinking of exiling me to the Endless Nightmare."

"Exile you?"

Upon hearing this, Nicholas was instantly enraged. He glared fiercely at the Nightmare Dead Apostle and said, "How dare you threaten my friend! Let's see who banishes whom!"

Upon hearing Nicholas's words, the Nightmare Dead Apostle immediately sprang to his senses and fled without hesitation, completely forgetting that he was in a dream and that running away was pointless.

Bai Qi smacked his lips. Dreaming of a green dragon was a terrible omen!
