Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 463 The Legacy of Longmen

Just as Bai Qi was silently sensing the aura of the legendary sea beasts around him and accelerating the evolution of the egg, the situation on the Dragon Emperor's ruins also changed.

"Humans, this is the sea, not inland! Get out of here!"

A massive shark, its body encased in a skeleton, stared intently at Xiao Mu and the others with cold, piercing eyes.

The Asura Shark King, a legendary sea monster.

"You think you can tell me to get lost? You're not worthy!"

Xiao Mu glanced indifferently at the Asura Shark and said, "This ruin was left behind by our human emperor, the Dragon Emperor. If we're being honest, you're the ones who should get lost!"

Upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, Bai Qi's lips twitched.

While it's undeniably cool to look so imposing, they're currently surrounded by thirteen sea monsters. Shouldn't they be a little more discreet?

As expected, many legendary sea beasts became displeased with Xiao Mu's words, and the Asura Shark King even charged directly at Xiao Mu.

But before the Asura Shark could attack Xiao Mu, the size of the Overturning Sea Lobster's claws suddenly increased, and it actually clamped down on the Asura Shark King, pinning it to the ground.

The legendary sea monster was no match for the Overturning Sea Lobster.

Seeing this, the other sea beasts wanted to step forward to help, but when they saw the dragon among them with a single horn on its head and two claws on its belly, they silently held back.

The Thunder Dragon of the Nether Sea is the undisputed overlord of the South China Sea.

"Human, what do you want?"

Amidst the scrutinizing gazes of the sea beasts, the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon approached Xiao Mu and asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to collaborate with you guys to develop the Dragon Emperor's Ruins."

Xiao Mu smiled faintly and said, "The Dragon Emperor is the Great Emperor of our human race, but many of the dragon creatures he contracted are from the sea. Since this relic has appeared in the sea, we do not want to monopolize it, but it is impossible to just give it up like this."

Upon hearing this, the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon nodded slightly and said, "Alright, you are qualified to develop this ruin with us."

Upon hearing the Nether Sea Thunder Flood Dragon's agreement, Xiao Mu pointed behind him and said, "The person behind me is the youngest and most talented rune expert of the human race. I think he will be of great help to your secret realm development."

Upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, the Nether Sea Thunder Flood Dragon frowned, scrutinized Bai Qi for a while, and finally spoke, "Agreed."

The Nether Sea Thunder Dragon certainly didn't believe what Xiao Mu said, but considering Xiao Mu's strength, he didn't want to ruin the current friendly relationship because of this.

He's just a human who hasn't even reached the legendary level; it's no big deal.

"Thank you very much."

Xiao Mu smiled, then had the Overturning Sea Lobster release the Asura Shark King, and also treated its wounds.

"So you've already gotten involved?"

Seeing that Xiao Mu had dealt with the thirteen sea beasts in just a few words and successfully joined the development of the Dragon Emperor's Relics, Bai Qi couldn't help but admire him.

First, deliver a strong blow, then offer the other party a way out.

Hmm, I feel like if you add a feather fan to Xiao Mu's image, it will be perfect.

"Alright, everyone's almost here, let's begin."

The Nether Sea Thunder Dragon looked around and, under the watchful eyes of many legendary sea beasts, arrived at the center of the platform. Then, it turned its head and bit itself hard, and a pool of pale golden blood flowed from the wound and landed on the platform.

In an instant, golden runes lit up on the platform, but quickly dimmed again.

Seeing this, the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon frowned slightly and released a few more drops of blood. The runes on the platform gradually brightened, but they could not stabilize.

"Let me help too."

Seeing this, Xiao Mu rode the Overturning Sea Lobster forward, swung his giant pincers to open a wound on his body, and squeezed out a drop of blood.

The blood was also a pale gold color, but it was noticeably more concentrated than that of the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon.

This is... dragon's blood?

Bai Qi seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. As the drop of dragon blood fell to the ground, the runes that had been flickering in and out of focus immediately stabilized, gradually outlining the image of an Eastern dragon.

It really is dragon blood!

This is the ruins of the Dragon Emperor, and all the creatures he contracted were dragons. It is said that his main pet was an Eastern dragon, so it is reasonable to activate it with dragon blood.

Seeing that the Dragon Emperor's Secret Realm had been successfully activated, the legendary sea beasts were also excited. If it weren't for the oppressive power of the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon over the years, they might have already rushed up to check it out.

As the image of the giant dragon from the East was successfully formed, the massive underwater ruins began to shake violently.

Especially the platform beneath their feet, the square bricks seemed to move rapidly like puzzle pieces, as if reconstructing something.

Finally, as the golden light faded, a constantly flowing water gate appeared in the center of the platform.

"It really is the legacy of the Dragon Emperor!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Mu's eyes lit up, and the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon was also quite excited, abandoning its previous composed demeanor as it prepared to dive into the water gate.

The water gate seemed to crumble at the slightest touch, but the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon crashed into it headfirst and was unable to enter.

"It seems they're refusing entry to a legendary figure."

Xiao Mu smiled, jumped off the Overturning Sea Lobster, circled the water gate and looked at the runes around it, and said, "Unfortunately, before this Dragon Gate is fully opened, none of the legendary creatures present can enter."

Upon hearing Xiao Mu's words, the group of sea beasts immediately stirred.

The reason they went to such great lengths to migrate from their own territory was for a legendary underwater ruin that was said to be able to enhance their bloodline.

Now that they can't even get in, how can they not be excited?

"However, it's fine if you're not a legendary figure and go in."

Seeing the sea creatures' appearance, Xiao Mu's lips curled up slightly, and he turned to look at Bai Qi.

"Me?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. After seeing Xiao Mu's expression, he became even more suspicious that Xiao Mu must have known something all along, which was why he brought him along.

"Of course, is there any other human here who is below the legendary level?"

Xiao Mu nodded and pushed Bai Qi to the front of the Dragon Gate.

"Fine, let's go for it."

Bai Qi shrugged, then went to the Dragon Gate to study it carefully.

The Dragon Emperor's Secret Realm—I wonder what kind of things might be inside?

Looking at the constantly flowing water gate in front of him, Bai Qi took a deep breath and jumped straight in.

Without encountering any hindrance, Bai Qi easily passed through the water gate and sank directly into it.

"Is it really only possible for non-legendary characters to pass?"

The Nether Sea Thunder Dragon nodded slightly, glanced behind it, and a large snake swam over, also intending to enter.

This time, however, Lungmen did not accept Orochi and instead excluded him.

"What's going on?"

The Nether Sea Thunder Dragon looked at Xiao Mu, its gaze gradually turning cold.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention, according to the description of the runes on this Dragon Gate, you have to wait at least half an hour between each entry."

Xiao Mu shrugged innocently, completely ignoring the murderous glares from the Nether Sea Thunder Dragon and the other legendary sea beasts.

That damned human, he actually tricked them all!

"Human, I've taken note of this."

The Nether Sea Thunder Dragon gave Xiao Mu a deep look, then closed its eyes and waited quietly. Seeing this, the other legendary sea beasts had no choice but to give up and began to select suitable candidates from their offspring.

……

The Dragon Emperor's Relics.

After passing through the Dragon Gate, Bai Qi felt himself sinking into a body of water.

The water was pitch black, and it was impossible to see any direction. It seemed as if he would keep sinking.

But before Bai Qi could summon his pet beast for help, he felt a void around him as the water that had been tightly enveloping him suddenly disappeared.

Bai Qi opened his eyes, looked around, and was shocked to find himself floating in the air, with a desolate continent below!

"Holy crap, this is murder!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi cursed angrily and quickly summoned Delta to hold him back before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Bai Qi had experienced being teleported into the air by a secret realm before, but this was the first time he had been to such a high position.

If it weren't for a flying-type pet, it probably would have really fallen to its death.

"I wonder if any of the sea monsters that come later can fly, otherwise we're probably in big trouble."

Bai Qi glanced at the water flowing overhead, which had replaced the sky, silently offered a couple of prayers for those who would follow, and then began to survey his surroundings.

Within the Dragon Gate lies a desolate continent, stretching for countless miles.

At least Bai Qi doesn't see the end in sight yet.

"Delta, land there and take a look first."

Bai Qi looked around and then directed Delta to stop on a raised boulder, before summoning the remaining pets.

Awoo awoo?

(Human, where have you gone this strange time? Why do I feel like so many eyes are watching me?)

"A lot of attention?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. Beta's perception would not be wrong, which meant that there were still powerful living beings in this ruin.

It's been at least two or three thousand years since the Dragon Emperor era. Can legendary creatures live that long?

"Beta, can you tell me exactly where those gazes are coming from?"

Awoo awoo...

(They're everywhere, but I can't find them...)

Beta shook his head, then carefully sensed the surroundings for a long time before pointing to the east.

"In the East?"

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then directed the six pets to head east.

This continent seemed to have experienced some kind of impact. As Bai Qi traveled along, there was nothing but rocks and no other place to be seen, not even a single plant.

However, Bai Qi soon made some other discoveries.

Skeletons covered the mountains and fields.

"So many skeletons, could they be enemies who invaded the Dragon Emperor's ruins?"

Bai Qi glanced at Alpha, and Alpha immediately understood and stepped forward to examine it.

But these skeletons seemed to have existed for many years, and they were weathered away and turned into ashes with just a light touch from Alpha.

Crackling.

(Boss, these skeletons are too old to determine what kind of creature they belong to.)

"It seems this site has really been around for many years."

Bai Qi nodded slightly and continued forward with his six pets.

Hopefully, the Dragon Emperor's Ruins won't be like the First Emperor's Secret Realm, where some strange things will appear.
