Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 599: Turned into an undead?

After locking onto their target, Bai Qi and his group accelerated their advance, and the shadow beasts finally had a chance to get away from these terrifying demon kings.

Unlike the undead who have an abnormal obsession with the living, these shadow beasts think no differently from ordinary creatures.

Having lived in the Shadow Forest for a long time, they have become relatively more ferocious, but they are not foolish enough to attack an enemy they are clearly no match for.

"We've arrived; the mineral deposits are right below here."

Following the guidance of the Rat, the group arrived at a giant tree as thick as ten people. Before Bai Qi could give the order, Alpha swung the Sword of Return to the Void and plunged it into the ground.

Rumble...

In an instant, the earth cracked, and the powerful gravity tore the earth apart, sending the debris into the air and exposing the minerals hidden below to everyone's sight.

Also exposed were three ferocious beasts that were trying to escape by following the shadows.

"A mad hyena, a white-haired demon corpse, a dark-spined poisonous frog? These are all extinct shadow-type ferocious beasts recorded in the bestiary!"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see the three-headed imperial beast below, which had become incredibly ferocious due to the invasion of its territory.

According to his understanding, the causes of biological extinctions recorded in federal records can be basically classified into several categories.

It tastes good, looks good, and is easy to use.

Judging from their appearance, they might not look good, and as for whether they taste good, we'll have to ask Gamma later, but they're definitely going to be useful.

"I wonder how much material we'll get."

Bai Qi groped his palm with some anticipation, but at that moment the three ferocious beasts had already rushed in front of him.

Ding!

Just then, the yellow longsword descended from the sky, landing in front of the three ferocious beasts. Its powerful gravity pulled them off course.

However, these three emperors were not to be trifled with. After sensing the abnormality, they each used their own methods to resist.

The mad hyena shimmered with blood-red light, its already enormous body swelled even larger, and its claws dug into the ground beneath its feet, forcibly stabilizing its stance.

The white-haired demon corpse suddenly extended its full head of white hair, firmly gripped the surrounding trees to stabilize itself, and at the same time split into several paths, attacking Bai Qi and the others respectively.

As for the Dark Spike Poison Frog, it used its powerful jumping ability to leap back and forth among the rubble, quickly widening the distance between itself and the Sword of Return to Nothingness, while continuously spitting out poison needles.

But before the three beasts could get close to Bai Qi, the gravity on the Sword of Return to Nothingness surged again, as if it had turned into a black hole, swallowing up all the attacks.

Only then did Alpha descend from the air, drawing the Sword of Return to Nothingness and pointing it at the Three Emperors, clearly intending to fight three against one.

Awoo awoo!

(Damn it, that stinky bone got away with it again!)

Seeing Alpha's impressive appearance, Beta was immediately annoyed and wanted to get a piece of the pie, but then he suddenly noticed something and stared intently at the Shadow Mine next to him with his vertical pupil between his eyebrows.

"Alpha, can it handle one against three?"

Looking at Alpha, who was suppressing the three-headed imperial beast with his own imposing presence, Bai Qi couldn't help but ask.

Crackling.

(It didn't work before, but it does now.)

Alpha nodded, his words brimming with confidence.

"So that's it, it's because of the sword shadow?"

Bai Qi suddenly realized that the Sword Shadow's boost to Alpha was even greater than he had anticipated.

Roar! ! !

At that moment, the Mad Blood Hyena finally couldn't hold back any longer and launched an attack on Alpha. Its dense shadow power enveloped its entire body, completely ignoring the powerful gravity of the Sword of Return to Nothingness.

Shadows, by their very nature, have no mass.

With the Mad Blood Hyena taking the lead, the other two ferocious beasts also activated the shadow power within their bodies to dispel the effects of gravity and launched an attack together.

As imperial beings, they possess considerable intelligence and naturally recognized that the strongest being present was the undead before them.

Judging from the brief exchange just now, neither of them individually could defeat this undead. The best strategy would be to attack together and quickly eliminate the enemy.

After all, besides the annoying bird-man above them that was radiating powerful holy light, the surrounding pet beasts also put a lot of pressure on them.

Seeing this, Alpha flipped his wrist, and the Sword of Return to Nothingness flew back behind him, replaced by the Sword of Karmic Fire.

The Sword of Return to Nothingness is merely a sword of pure power, and it is not very effective against the three-headed beasts that have entered the Shadow state, but the Sword of Karmic Fire is precisely designed to target them.

Alpha swung his longsword, and no flames escaped where the sword light passed, yet he easily severed the shadow power on the Mad Blood Hyena's body, and the blade landed on the Mad Blood Hyena without any hindrance.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

The Mad Blood Hyena involuntarily let out a mournful howl. The excruciating pain of its soul and body being burned simultaneously drove the Mad Blood Hyena even more mad. It actually endured the excruciating pain and bit down on the Blazing Fire Sword. Even though its teeth were instantly scorched red, it refused to let go.

The white-haired demon corpse did not waste this excellent opportunity to attack. It released countless hairs to entangle Alpha's arm, while the Dark Spike Poison Frog condensed a sharp spike made entirely of shadow power and accurately spat it at the soul fire exposed in Alpha's eye socket.

Just then, a sword shadow suddenly rose from the shadow beneath Alpha's feet. He gripped the Wind Chaser Sword and cut off his white hair. Then, with a light touch of the sword tip, he shattered the Shadow Poison Sting.

At the same time, another sword shadow silently rose, gripping the sword of death and stabbing it directly into the body of the mad blood hyena, forcing it to open its mouth.

Immediately afterwards, a third sword shadow rose up, and the Sword of Return to Nothingness swung down heavily, the powerful force directly causing the space to collapse.

"Three sword shadows?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see Alpha and Sword Shadow each wielding four swords and launching attacks on the enemy from different angles.

Did Alpha not use its full power when it tried just now?

So they're starting to hide their true abilities again~

Bai Qi smacked his lips, suddenly feeling as if he had returned to the time when he first contracted Alpha, when he was also secretly hiding a trick and launching a sneak attack at the crucial moment.

The three-headed beast on the other side were equally shocked. Seeing the sword shadow return to Alpha's body, the three beasts no longer dared to approach rashly and instead chose to use ranged attacks.

In an instant, venom, needles, and dark spikes covered most of the sky, completely sealing off Alpha's space to dodge.

Alpha was not surprised at all. With four swords dancing, a rune array of different colors appeared above its head, and it also released sword energy to fight against it.

Alpha itself, on the other hand, moved effortlessly through the barrage of attacks, actively closing the distance between itself and the three beasts.

Seeing this, the Mad Blood Hyena, which was already losing its mind due to the activation of its berserk blood, no longer cared about cooperating. After roaring, it pounced on Alpha.

Completely berserk, the Bloodhound's speed and strength surged, allowing it to bypass a sword shadow and rush directly in front of Alpha, slapping Alpha's face with a claw.

But just as the white-haired demon corpse and the dark-spinned poisonous frog were about to finish them off, Alpha, whose mask should have been broken to reveal his skeletal form, slowly turned into a sword shadow and vanished.

At the same time, the sword shadow that had just been passed by the mad blood hyena gradually solidified, and thus transformed into Alpha's true form.

Awoo awoo?

(Is that hyena blind? How could it miss like that?)

Seeing the hyena being easily toyed with by Alpha, Beta looked disgusted and wished he could point out Alpha's true identity.

"You stupid dog, whose side are you on?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi's forehead veins bulged, and he punched him mercilessly.

"But judging from this, it seems Alpha can also use the sword shadows to transfer the damage it receives?"

Bubbling.

(It's probably not damage transfer; Alpha's true form seems to be using shadows to move around.)

Upon hearing Delta's explanation, Bai Qi immediately understood.

By using shadow movement, isn't that the power of the Dark Mirror?

Indeed, this makes Alpha's attack rhythm even harder to predict.

On the other side, after getting used to the rhythm of the sword shadow's attacks, Alpha's attacks suddenly became ferocious.

The sword shadows and the true form switched at will, and the four longswords moved in and out of the shadows, completely negating the three-headed emperor's advantage in shadow power and constantly leaving wounds on them.

Seeing this, the three-headed emperor finally lost his patience, roared, and activated his domain, attempting to engage in a pure contest of power with Alpha.

But at that moment, Alpha and the three sword shadows suddenly merged into one, and the four longswords also merged into the Sword of Annihilation once again. With a gentle swing, the domain that the three beasts had just opened up shattered directly.

Snap snap snap!

(Alpha's energy fusion speed is so fast, even faster than gamma!)

Once raw, twice cooked.

With the help of the Sword Shadow, Alpha's speed of fusing with the Sword of Annihilation increased dramatically, even earning praise from Gamma, the team's most skilled energy fusion expert.

"Looks like this is a sure win."

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this, and Alpha did not miss the three beasts' stunned state caused by the breaking of their domain. The Sword of Annihilation lightly touched the foreheads of the three beasts, directly annihilating their souls.

Crackling.

(Boss, I've got it sorted out.)

Alpha was in a great mood after easily defeating the three-headed beast, and cheerfully went to Bai Qi to claim credit.

"Excellent! You managed to break through the enemy's domain without even using your own. Alpha, the destructive power of your Sword of Annihilation is no less than that of an Immortal-level skill."

Crackling.

(The principles behind the Sword of Annihilation and the Sword Domain of Annihilation are the same; I simply fused them together to form the shape of a sword.)

Alpha glanced at the Sword of Annihilation in his hand, which was already showing signs of collapse, and shook his head.

(However, I am not yet able to fuse the energy of the four swords and stabilize it.)

"Okay~"

Bai Qi shrugged upon hearing this. Alpha had completely fallen in love with using swords and was even too lazy to activate its domain.

"Never mind that, let's deal with that later. Let's dismantle these three emperors first, and then prepare to mine the mineral deposits."

Bai Qi looked at the three-headed emperor, but suddenly discovered that the corpse of the three-headed emperor had been tainted by the power of shadow at some point, and the soul fire unique to necromancers had lit up in its originally empty eyes due to death.

"It's turned into an undead?"
