Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 470 Am I Cursed?

Bulu bulu?

(Master, shall we go too?)

Delta turned and asked, watching the Thirteen Protectors begin opening boxes around the Death Ice Forest.

"Yes, of course I have to go."

Bai Qi nodded. The food had improved a lot recently, but he still couldn't find any of the ingredients he wanted. Now that he had such a treasure trove, he certainly couldn't miss it.

With that, Bai Qi ran to a row of icicles, carefully selected one, and pointed to it, confidently declaring, "Delta, break this one, and you're guaranteed to get something!"

Plurp plurp!

(Yes, Master!)

Delta nodded, a flash of silver candlelight appeared in his right eye, and a surge of void power transformed into an iron fist that landed precisely on the ice pillar that Bai Qi had pointed out.

In an instant, the ice pillar shattered, and a scale resembling an ice crystal fell out from it.

"These are scales shed by an icefish; they're of very high quality!"

Mingdian nimbly took the scale and handed it to Bai Qi, saying...

"Hmm, not bad, finally got an epic-level material. The drop rate here is pretty good."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then selected another ice pillar, but instead of letting Delta shatter it directly, he cracked it and then repaired it with the final blow.

With such good fortune, of course we must seize the opportunity!

Click.

The icicle shattered, and a pebble drifted into Bai Qi's hand, looking utterly ordinary.

"Uh, boss, these are probably just pieces of rock that were accidentally frozen by the Death Ice Pillar. They're useless."

Mingdian glanced at the pebble in Bai Qi's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then told Bai Qi the truth.

"Pebble?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi tossed the ice pillar aside with obvious disdain and chose another one.

After smashing more than a dozen ice pillars, Bai Qi gave up completely.

"Looks like none of the icicles around here are any good. Delta, feel free to knock them down."

Bai Qi silently comforted himself and said.

Bubbling.

(Yes, Master.)

Delta nodded, flicked her tail, and snapped an icicle in two.

In an instant, a chilling aura emanated from the sea, freezing even the surrounding seawater.

"Frost Coral? Judging by its quality, it's almost at the legendary level."

Upon seeing this, Mingdian exclaimed in surprise and carefully took the Frost Coral out of the frozen seawater and presented it to Bai Qi.

"Another shipment?"

Bai Qi's eye twitched slightly; this slap in the face came a little too quickly.

"Delta, try knocking on another one?"

Delta nodded, casually smashing an ice pillar beside him, and another epic-level material appeared.

"Holy crap, am I being targeted?"

Bai Qi, somewhat skeptical, smashed an icicle, but the result ruthlessly confirmed his suspicions.

"Am I really that unlucky? I'm usually pretty lucky!"

Bai Qi looked somewhat dejected, but the cowhide snake that had been coiled around Delta suddenly raised its head and said, "Why do I feel like it's your pet that's luckier, not you?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Bai Qi rolled his eyes in annoyance. After thinking for a moment, he summoned all six of his pets and said, "Come on, come on, we have a mission."

Awoo awoo!

(I love it here!)

Seeing the dense array of icicles in front of him, Beta became interested and rushed out of the waterproof space constructed by Delta, but almost drowned in the seawater.

"That stupid dog."

Seeing this, Bai Qi covered his face and sighed. He looked at the other pets and said, "There are a lot of ice-type resources here, which can be used to strengthen Jeta. So everyone, let's work hard to break the ice pillars."

"However, remember to tap them one by one! And after each harvest, you must tell me the quality, understand?!"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's request, many of the pet beasts were somewhat bewildered, not understanding why their beast tamers would make such a request, but they still obediently complied.

"Um, Chief, I'm just an insect. Is this place not quite suitable for me?"

After looking around, Cordyceps immediately requested to withdraw.

Alpha is a skeleton; it doesn't need to breathe.

Huskies have diving equipment, so they can't drown.

With full gamma resistance, it can survive anywhere.

Delta is a true dragon, and dragons return to the sea.

Jeta, that little guy has already climbed right up to the icicle.

Looking around, he seemed completely out of place.

No, I have to go.

Bai Qi's expression was solemn. He said, "This is a very serious matter, understand?"

"I understand."

Seeing Bai Qi's murderous gaze, Cordyceps nodded repeatedly, activated its force field, and burrowed into the seawater.

The six pets were quick, and soon they each returned to Bai Qi's side with their own harvest. After seeing the quality of the materials the six pets handed over, Bai Qi's whole demeanor turned gloomy.

Come to think of it, the Evolutionary Egg was only activated after encountering Alpha, and several patents were earned through hard work on their own. It seems that other gains were achieved while Alpha and the others were present.

Sure enough, I was the only unlucky one.

ah ah ah...

I suddenly really want to be a paramecium!

Awoo awoo?

(What's wrong with humanity?)

"It's nothing, just a blow to my confidence."

The bullskin snake shook its head, found a comfortable position on Delta, and fell asleep again.

Since Delta evolved, its scent has become increasingly pleasant.

"Um, should we go and comfort the big boss?"

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, the Thirteen Protectors couldn't help but ask Ming Dian a question.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Mingdian nodded. The reason he brought Bai Qi to this Death Ice Forest was twofold: firstly, he genuinely wanted to help Bai Qi, and secondly, he didn't want Bai Qi to go fishing anymore.

They had already learned about Bai Qi fishing from one of the Thirteen Protectors, the offspring of the Tiger Hunting Demon Whale King.

Several giant species, more than a dozen large species, and countless medium and small marine mammals.

If Bai Qi retaliates by fishing here after being frustrated, who knows how many sea creatures will be left in the area after the Deep Sea Council's discussion ends.

However, before Mingdian could step forward to persuade him, Bai Qi suddenly regained his fighting spirit and was even in better condition than before.

So what if I'm unlucky? I'm got liver all over my body, I refuse to believe I can't grind through this deadly ice forest!

"Men, today's goal: finish this deadly ice forest!"

……

Click!

Another ice pillar shattered, and Bai Qi steadily caught the crystal that shimmered with the aurora, letting out a long roar to the sky!

"Who says grinding won't change your luck, and spending money won't change your destiny! Look at me, I've grinded my way to success!"

Seeing Bai Qi's excited expression, the Thirteen Protectors beside him wore an awkward smile.

Roughly estimated, Bai Qi must have smashed at least a thousand ice pillars with his own hands, but he only got this one epic-level item. His luck is truly unparalleled.

Awoo awoo?

(Have humans gone this crazy? Should we recite some sutras to help them pass on to the afterlife?)

Beta looked at Bai Qi with some sympathy, but Jerry punched him hard.

"Shut up, the Beastmaster seems a bit off."

Jerry looked at Bai Qi, and the scales of judgment quietly appeared, covering Bai Qi. Then, black auras emerged from Bai Qi's body.

Gara gara?

(Is this a curse?)

Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately stood up, a fierce sword intent emanating from him.

"Somewhat similar, but more like what humans call bad luck."

Jerry shook his head, and the scales behind him swayed slightly, pulling out the black energy. Bai Qi also felt a lightness all over his body and looked at Jerry in confusion.

"Jerry? What are you guys doing?"

Jerry told Bai Qi about his discovery, and Bai Qi immediately understood and felt full of confidence.

He said it himself: how could someone as chosen as him associate with the unlucky?

"But why do I suddenly have this strange aura? Could I be cursed?"

Jerry shook his head upon hearing this and said, "If someone is cursing me, I can't possibly not notice, unless you're really about to be in trouble."

"Bad luck?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly swung his iron hammer and smashed a half-broken ice pillar.

An epic-grade ice-attribute pearl emerged from it and, guided by Delta, slowly fell into Bai Qi's hands.

This isn't bad luck, it's clearly about to take off!

boom!

Just as Bai Qi was wondering, a violent roar suddenly came from the depths of the Death Ice Forest, as if some enormous creature was rampaging through it.

"Hey, Lightning, are there any legendary sea monsters in this area that have joined the Deep Sea Alliance?"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from afar, Bai Qi turned his head and asked Ming Dian.

"The legendary beasts of the South China Sea, except for the Asura Shark King which was killed by the Speaker, have all joined the Grand Alliance."

Mingdian shook his head, then thought of a possibility and said, "Although most of the Death Ice Sea is in the South China Sea region, some of it has spread into the Ice Sea. Perhaps the legendary sea beasts of the West Sea have taken to gathering resources for their offspring?"

"No, he should be coming this way."

Shuke quickly simulated the unknown sea beast's path and said seriously, "Beastmaster, I suggest we retreat immediately."

"it is good."

Bai Qi nodded, put away all the other pets, and then called the Thirteen Protectors to shrink their size and ride on Delta's back, preparing to escape.

However, before Delta could disappear into the void, a giant squid suddenly crashed through the Death Ice Forest and appeared in front of Bai Qi and the others.

"The legendary sea monster of the Western Sea, the Glass Squid!"

Seeing this, Mingdian breathed a sigh of relief. The glass squid is a very gentle creature. Although it looks fierce, it is a well-known ambassador of love in the sea.

Whether it's the West Sea or the South Sea, if you encounter it while you're injured, the Glass Squid will readily help you heal.

Therefore, whether it is the legendary Glass Squid or its pre-evolution, the sea monsters will not harm them when they encounter them.

"The glass squid's behavior is a bit off; it doesn't seem like it's attacking, but rather... struggling?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly upon seeing this, while Alpha suddenly noticed something and unconsciously looked at the tentacles of the glass squid.

At the tips of the tentacles, there seemed to be something black on them.
