Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 452 Deceiving the Legendary Creature (Bonus Chapter on New Year's Eve, Wishing everyone a Happy New Year)

The Great Tomb at Dusk.

The sixth floor.

Bai Qi woke up from his deep sleep, feeling better than ever before. His six pets also woke up one after another, feeling the same way.

"I'm still alive? What about that demon rabbit?"

Bai Qi scratched his head, looked around, and suddenly saw a snow-white rabbit staring at him curiously.

"Holy crap, the demon rabbit is still here!"

Bai Qi suddenly shrank back and began searching for the teleportation rune stone, while Alpha and the others also entered battle mode.

"Don't be nervous, I have no hostility towards you."

Seeing Bai Qi and the others like this, the rabbit shook its head frantically and said, "Strictly speaking, the one who fought you before was the corrupted version of me. I have now returned to normal."

"Contaminated?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this. After observing it carefully, he discovered that this rabbit was indeed quite different from the previous blue demon rabbit.

It is closer to the rabbit in his mind.

"Based on testing, it is highly likely to be the legendary form of the Ice Jade Rabbit, the Ice Spirit Rabbit."

Shuke silently scanned the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit and quickly found the corresponding illustration data.

【Name】：Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit

[Attribute]: Ice

[Rank]: Legendary

[Introduction]: The kindest legendary creature, gentle in nature, never attacks others, and purifies the filth around its habitat.

……

"Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit...purifying filth...so you've failed to purify the filth and instead become polluted yourself?"

Looking at the data that Shuke found, Bai Qi quickly deduced the reason why the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit turned into the Ice Calamity Demon Rabbit.

"That's right. I was originally sent here to purify the pollution here, but those evil things were too strange, and I was gradually affected by them as well."

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit looked at Bai Qi with some guilt, bowed to him like a human, and said, "I apologize for my previous behavior."

"Well, I'm free anyway, no need to be so polite."

Seeing the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit's respectful demeanor, Bai Qi became even more puzzled.

Were all legendary creatures this polite in the past? It feels a bit different from the ones he knew.

Is it because he's too handsome?

Bai Qi looked down at the ice surface and nodded solemnly.

It seems so.

Awoo awoo...

(Humans, you're becoming more and more shameless...)

Beta gave Bai Qi a disdainful look, then suddenly smelled something strange. Following the scent, he bumped into the bullskin snake that had just woken up.

"You stupid dog, why are you so close to me?"

Seeing Beta so close to him, the bullskin snake instinctively started to complain, only to see Beta open its mouth and bite him.

"Damn it, I'm going to settle things with you today!"

Awoo awoo!

(You stinky snake, do you believe I'll swallow you whole right now!)

Beta, upon hearing this, did not back down at all, and the snake and the dog began to fight again.

"Why weren't these two guys this enthusiastic when they were fighting the demon rabbit?"

Bai Qi covered his face and sighed, then suddenly noticed that the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit was silently distancing itself from them.

Speaking of which, we haven't asked how the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit was awakened yet. After all, before he lost consciousness, his pets all seemed to have lost their fighting ability, so it was impossible for them to wake up the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit.

Crackling.

(Boss, before I lost consciousness, I sensed a powerful aura.)

Alpha told Bai Qi about the situation before he lost consciousness, and Bai Qi immediately fell into deep thought.

"So, another creature came in and purified the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit? Could it be the Fire Rock Demon Tiger?"

Bai Qi looked at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, and thinking of the Fire Rock Demon Tiger's appearance, he immediately ruled it out.

Bai Qi was the first to object to having someone whose name contained the character for "demon" perform the purification.

"Your Excellency Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, may I ask who saved us?"

Bai Qi looked at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, who seemed to wake from a dream, shifting its gaze from the cowhide snake and the husky. After hesitating for a moment, it said, "I'm not sure either, after all, my consciousness was also confused before."

That's obviously false.

The impression that bronze dragon had left on him was too deep. Although he didn't know why it had turned into the weak little snake in front of him, he didn't dare to overstep his bounds since the other party didn't say so.

If it gets swallowed again, it really won't be able to get out.

"You don't know either?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi sighed with some regret. Such an amazing person, who had even saved him, it would be a real shame not to take the opportunity to gain some goodwill towards him.

However, he seemed to remember that before losing consciousness, the bullskin snake seemed to recognize the demon rabbit's skills.

"Bullskin Snake, how do you know the skill that demon rabbit used? I think it was called something like Ice Frost?"

Bai Qi ripped the cowhide snake from Beta's mouth and asked seriously.

"Frost of Ice Age? What is that? How would I know about it?"

The cowhide snake tilted its head, three question marks appearing above its head, as if it truly knew nothing.

"Gamma, make me some snake soup tonight."

Click-clack.

(No problem, master.)

"Damn it, humans, you just wait!"

Upon hearing this, the bullskin snake struggled violently, while the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit beside it was completely stunned.

They actually want to stew that kind of being? Have humans become this terrifying now?

"I've found the skill data for Frost of Ice."

In the end, it was Shuke who ended the farce by directly presenting the information on Ice Frost to Bai Qi.

[Skill Name]: Frost of Ice Age

[Skill Level]: ? ? ?

[Skill Introduction]: The extreme of cold, where frost covers, time stops.

……

"This is... a time-based skill?!"

Bai Qi's eyes widened in disbelief. No wonder Alpha and the others' attacks couldn't harm the Ice Tribulation Rabbit, or even get close to it; it turned out that time had been frozen.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi's gaze towards the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit suddenly changed.

The Ice Calamity Rabbit is the corrupted form of the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit, but its skills should be similar. In other words, it is highly likely that it can obtain time-related materials from the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit.

I suddenly felt like contacting Nicholas to help me make a trip.

No, let's ask the teacher for help; it's safer that way.

"Um, I'm sorry, Frostbite is not one of my skills."

Noticing the changes in Bai Qi, the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit offered explanations repeatedly.

"Although they are all ice-attribute, I don't have that kind of skill. It should be the original ferocious beasts of this secret realm that possess it."

Hearing the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit's explanation, Bai Qi was still somewhat suspicious, but when he thought of the information that Shu Ke had just shown, he reluctantly gave up the idea.

I thought I could find time-related materials to evolve Delta directly, but I was wrong.

Bubbling.

(Master, Delta seems a little off.)

Just then, Delta gently nudged Bai Qi.

"Something's not right? Could it be that he was injured before?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi felt a pang of anxiety. In order to deal with the Ice Tribulation Rabbit, he had gathered the energy of all five pets into Delta's body to drive the power of the void. Could it be that this had damaged Delta?

Bubbling.

(It's not that I'm injured; it's just that my Delta's survival skills seem a bit off.)

Delta raised its claws and uncontrollably switched between various forms.

There are ancient forms that have been stored, as well as forms that have evolved in the past, but none of them can be maintained stably.

"The skill went out of control?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly. Although Delta's strongest force right now is the Void Disciple, the survival of the fittest is still Delta's main fighting force. If something goes wrong with that, Bai Qi will be devastated.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately placed his hand on Delta's body and began to check on the other's condition.

[Name]: Protomon (Delta) / Quetzalcoatlus / King Kong Ape / Dracobo / White-faced Neptune / Tyrannomon / Titanoboa

[Attribute]: Space/Wind/Ground/Water/Poison/Ground/Ground

[Bloodline Level]: High-ranking Lord / Low-ranking Monarch / Low-ranking Monarch / Low-ranking Monarch / Low-ranking Monarch / Low-ranking Monarch

[Growth Level]: Tier 5, Level 4

[Skills]: Void Disciple (Transcendent - Proficient), Survival of the Fittest (Super - Awakened) / Hurricane Manipulation (Advanced - Mastery) / Vajra Body (Advanced - Mastery) / Dark Current Impact (Advanced - Mastery) / Venom Return (Advanced - Proficient) / Earthquake Tremor (Advanced - Proficient) / Death Coil (Advanced - Proficient)

[Energy Value]: 16E1100W

[Status]: Can Evolve

……

"Has the survival of the fittest awakened?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi understood and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why awakening would cause Delta Evolution to go out of control, now that it had awakened, the problem was easy to solve.

As he spoke, Bai Qi focused his mental energy on survival of the fittest once again, and a complete awakening plan appeared in his mind.

[Skill Name]: Survival of the Fittest

[Skill Level]: Super

[Skill Introduction]: Special type skill, an ability evolved to cope with survival of the fittest and natural selection. It can actively change its form according to external conditions and retain part of its form.

Note: Remaining storage space: 0.

[Skill Upgrade]: ? ? ? (Transcendent Level): ? ? ?

Awakening Plan: Integrate Time-based materials.

……

Looking at the awakening plan implemented under the survival of the fittest, Bai Qi finally understood.

Did it awaken unexpectedly because of the Frost of Ice Time, and it even has the attribute of time?

In that case, we really need to collect time-related materials.

"Don't worry, there's a solution."

Bai Qi patted Delta's head to reassure him, then looked at the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit and asked, "Does this mean I've passed the sixth test?"

"That's fine."

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit nodded and handed a teleportation rune to Bai Qi, saying, "However, I don't recommend you go down now. Although your memory is a bit hazy, the monsters on the seventh floor are probably beyond your current capabilities."

An exception would be if someone intervened on the other side.

"Yes, thank you."

Bai Qi put away the teleportation stone and nodded.

Even if the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit hadn't said anything, he probably wouldn't have explored any further in the short term; he just wanted to get his hands on the teleportation stone for the sixth floor first.

The teacher only cleared the first six levels; who knows what terrifying things might be hidden in the later levels? My life is more important.

"I don't know how long she slept, or whether Acha left."

Bai Qi put away the talisman and planned to go to the fifth floor to find Bai Qiucha.

"Do you want to leave? Then let's go together."

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit called out to Bai Qi.

"You're leaving too? Aren't you going to continue guarding the sixth floor?"

Bai Qi was puzzled.

"I originally came here to clean up the pollution on the sixth floor. Now that the pollution is gone, it's time for me to leave."

If we stay any longer, who knows when we'll be stewed?

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit glanced at the Bullskin Snake, who was arguing with Beta again, and silently added a comment in her mind.

"Too."

Bai Qi's eyes darted around, and he said, "How about I recommend a good place to you? It's a place that absolutely welcomes legendary creatures."

They couldn't fool the Fire Rock Demon Tiger, but they couldn't let this Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit go.

"real?"

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit looked at Bai Qi with some suspicion and asked.

"You're not talking about following you, are you?"

Is there a problem with you following me?

Bai Qi muttered to himself, then said, "Don't worry, it's the Federation... Oh, you don't know? The Federation is one of the largest powers in humankind right now. The Beastmaster Association has many creatures like you there."

"That's good."

The Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit nodded and said, "Then I'm willing to go with you."

"Alright, I'll go find one of my companions, and then we'll go back together!"

Bai Qi grinned. He had helped the association swindle a legendary creature back, so Chairman Zhao had to show his appreciation.

How about we just give you a time-based material?

……

Ancient Su City.

Because it was New Year's Eve, all the researchers at the Super God Evolution Research Institute, including Bai Yan and Luo Zhu, finished their work early, packed their things, and prepared to go home.

After working hard for more than half a year, we have achieved some results, so of course we should go back early to welcome the new year.

"Why hasn't my son come back yet? It's getting dark soon. I hope something's happened to him."

Luo Zhu looked at the sun slowly setting in the west, feeling somewhat worried.

"It should be fine. This isn't Bai Qi's first time visiting the Twilight Great Tomb."

Bai Yan hugged Luo Zhu and laughed, "Our son isn't as fragile as you think."

Bai Yan already knew about Bai Qi's accidental entry into the Elemental Realm. Although he was somewhat frightened, Bai Yan did not restrict Bai Qi's actions because of this.

Although the Federation has been peaceful for more than 20 years, the ferocious beast tribe is still there, and blindly protecting it will not benefit Bai Qi's future.

"Um."

Luo Zhu nodded, and thinking of Bai Qi's identity as a sixth-level beast tamer, she gradually felt relieved.

"Hmm, is it snowing?"

Bai Yan walked to the bedside. At that moment, a heavy snow began to fall over Gu Su City, quickly turning the world white.

"This snow came just in time; it looks like next year will be a good year."

Luo Zhu leaned against Bai Yan, opened the window to catch a snowflake, and suddenly felt a surge of joy.

"It should be."

Bai Yan smiled faintly, watching the snow falling heavier and heavier outside, and suddenly felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.

It's been a long time since I've relaxed like this year.

"Honey, look at that thing flying in the sky, doesn't it look like a rabbit?"

"Hmm, it looks like it's flying this way."

Surprised? Unexpected? On New Year's Eve, knowing that all you bug-catchers will be lonely keeping watch, I've added an extra chapter to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year, and all your wishes come true! I also hope you'll continue to support my writing!
