Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 602 Should we eat the pie that falls from the sky?

As the dragon lich drew ever closer, Bai Qi's heart pounded, while Nicholas reacted swiftly, leading Bai Qi and the five pets into the Emerald Dream.

Regardless of why this dragon lich is still alive, judging from its aura alone, this dragon lich is definitely stronger than him.

However, just as the entrance to the Emerald Dream was about to close, a black aura suddenly spread in, quickly forming a rune array under Nicholas's feet, teleporting Bai Qi and his group out.

"This... even the Emerald Dream can't stop it?"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see this. The Emerald Dream was exclusive to the Green Dragon. Unless there was an Emerald Mark, even a powerful enemy like the Black Dragon Aqua could only use the connection between the Emerald Vision and the main world to detect the location of Bai Qi and the others.

Now, this dragon lich has not only invaded the Emerald Dream, but also teleported them out directly, leaving them no chance to resist.

Why are all these secret realms so dangerous? Can't we find one that's relatively peaceful?

Bai Qi mentally complained, while Nicholas quickly reacted and said...

"We've all been fooled. I haven't connected to the Emerald Dream. Everything we just saw was just an illusion."

Nicholas looked at the imposing dragon lich before him, a glint of emerald light flashing in his eyes. The dragon lich's body instantly disintegrated, turning into a wisp of black smoke.

As the smoke cleared, the true face of the eighth floor was revealed to Bai Qi and the others.

Black shadow power continued to emanate from the shattered sky, and the collapsed palace was more desolate than they had seen before. Only the hole that seemed to connect several secret realms remained unchanged.

"So, we've been affected by hallucinations ever since we entered the eighth floor?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. It was one thing to affect them, but to even affect Nicholas, what exactly was guarding this eighth floor?

"It should be, and the guy who's affecting us is right there."

Nicholas pointed to the cave entrance, his eyes filled with vigilance. Only then did Bai Qi notice that a figure wearing a dragon head mask had appeared where the dragon lich had appeared.

Awoo awoo!

(Human, this guy is extremely dangerous!)

For the first time, Beta didn't play around. He bent down and stared intently at the figure, occasionally letting out low growls.

Although he couldn't detect the slightest aura, the powerful perception brought by his all-seeing eye was constantly issuing death warnings to Beta.

This sense of crisis is exactly the same as when encountering the black dragon Aqua.

It might even be stronger!

"Nicholas, is there a way to escape?"

Seeing the five pets looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Bai Qi quietly leaned close to Nicholas's ear and asked.

"It's too late. I was affected by this guy's aura as soon as I entered, and I couldn't contact the Emerald Dream at all."

Nicholas shook his head and said, "The only option now is for me to hold this guy off, while Bai Qi, you let Epsilon take the opportunity to open the Emerald Dream and escape."

"Okay, be careful!"

Bai Qi wasn't being coy; rather than staying and holding them back, he'd rather just run away.

It's not just villains who die from talking too much; heroes do too.

Just then, the dragon-headed masked man seemed to sense Bai Qi and Nicholas's thoughts and slowly turned his head to look at Bai Qi. Bai Qi immediately felt as if some terrifying being was looking down at him from another dimension, and his soul trembled involuntarily.

buzzing...

Just then, the Evolution Egg suddenly shook, and red, blue, and yellow light appeared on its originally transparent shell. Bai Qi immediately felt the pressure ease, and the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared.

"Um?"

A questioning voice came from beneath the dragon head mask, and the icy aura suddenly dissipated.

"Strange intruders, state your purpose."

Upon hearing the words of the masked man with the dragon head, Bai Qi and Nicholas both froze on the spot, exchanged a glance, and both could see the awkwardness in each other's eyes.

"Um, would you believe me if I said we took the wrong road?"

Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and said.

Judging from its appearance, it is highly likely to be the master of the Great Tomb of Dusk, the dragon lich.

While exploring secret realms is a normal thing in the Federation, it's a bit awkward to suddenly run into the host's family.

Most importantly, they are somewhat outmatched by this master.

I believe you.

The dragon lich nodded slightly, looking at Bai Qi and Nicholas, who were both astonished, and said, "The last human who came here said the same thing to me, and he was the one who helped me repair the first eight levels of the Great Tomb."

"Therefore, I believe."

Upon hearing the dragon lich's words, the man, the dragon, and their five pets exchanged bewildered glances.

Awoo awoo?

(Human, why does this guy seem like a goofball to me?)

Click-clack.

(Gamma thinks so too, it seems like he's quite naive.)

"I think so too. Why don't we, Chief, try to fool him?"

Crackling.

(No, this guy is too dangerous; I can't take the risk.)

Bubbling.

(He had sealed off the surrounding space, and Delta also felt it was best not to take any risks.)

"No rush. Since they haven't made a move, we can still have some conversation."

Listening to the five pets communicating through the contract, Bai Qi nodded slightly, quickly gathered his thoughts, and said, "May I leave now?"

"sure."

To Bai Qi's surprise, the Dragon Lich readily agreed. However, before Bai Qi could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Dragon Lich continued.

"But you need to do me a favor before I'll let you leave."

"no problem!"

Before the dragon lich could finish speaking, Bai Qi immediately agreed, leaving Nicholas completely dumbfounded.

"Bai Qi, why did you agree so readily? What if we can't do it?"

Nicholas asked quietly.

"Who cares? I'll just agree first and then forget about it once I leave here."

Bai Qi shrugged and said, "Besides, do you think I can refuse right now?"

"It seems... I can't..."

Nicholas shook his head. Although the dragon lich's aura was somewhat strange, giving off a feeling of being floating in the air, out of caution, Nicholas did not do anything rash.

If the opponent is truly strong, and they incur their hostility, Nicholas cannot guarantee Bai Qi's safety.

Hmm, it seems the seclusion period wasn't long enough. I'll have to go back and prepare more.

The dragon lich seemed not to have heard the conversation between the human and the dragon. After hearing Bai Qi's agreement, it continued talking to itself.

"As you can see, the Great Tomb of Twilight was once pierced by some extraterrestrial object, which directly affected my hibernation. For some reason, I am unable to repair it myself, so I need your help to fix it."

"Repairing the secret realm is too difficult, I can't do it..."

"If the repair is completed, I will give you a generous reward."

"Then it's settled."

Bai Qi's attitude changed drastically, and he immediately agreed to the deal with the dragon lich. Then he pointed to the huge hole behind the dragon lich and said, "However, repairing the secret realm is too difficult. I need some time."

"That's understandable; that's what the previous human said too."

The dragon lich, unsuspecting, said, "Moreover, before repairing the secret realm, you must first remove those things attached to the wounds of the secret realm."

"Those things?"

Bai Qi was puzzled upon hearing this. After seeing the dragon lich retreat to the other side of the cave, he asked Nicholas to lead him to the front of the cave.

Just as Bai Qi had guessed before, the hole must have been punched through by something like a meteorite, and now that he saw it up close, he was even more certain of that guess.

Even more surprisingly, Bai Qi saw some green flames that had not yet gone out on the edge of the hole.

According to the dragon lich, a human had helped him repair the first few levels of the secret realm. Based on the information he had, it was most likely the mage.

Those were figures from over a thousand years ago, meaning the Great Tomb of Twilight was likely destroyed even earlier.

The flames, which had burned for over a thousand years, were still green. Bai Qi had a basic idea of ​​what it was that had smashed the Great Tomb of Twilight.

"Gamma, can you determine the origin of those flames? Is it fel energy?"

Click-clack.

(Although it's very faint, it is definitely evil energy.)

Gamma nodded, opened his mouth, and seemed about to step forward to absorb some of it.

Seeing this, Bai Qi immediately pulled Gamma back and then asked, "Besides this, is there anything else I need to prepare?"

"Besides a creature or tool that can purify this thing, you also need a creature that is proficient in space, a creature that can withstand the Shadow Burst, and preferably one that has mastered enough rune knowledge."

The conditions are so rigid, you might as well just say it's me.

Bai Qi looked at the Dragon Lich with suspicion, seriously doubting that the Dragon Lich was just something made up on the spot.

"Actually, before you came, quite a few creatures had entered, especially the human who recently came in and a few strange things. They were all stronger than you, but I didn't choose them."

"The humans who came recently...could they be teachers?"

Bai Qi stroked his chin and guessed.

"I see something different in you, and perhaps you can help me completely repair this place, so I'm willing to keep waiting."

With that, the dragon lich waved his hand, and a ball of black light flew up from under the hole, landing in the dragon lich's hand and transforming into a black dragon horn.

"Consider this my deposit. It should greatly help your pet's growth. Once you have enough strength, come and help me repair the secret realm."

The dragon lich paused for a moment, then said, "I don't expect you to finish repairing it all at once, so I will give you a reward for each layer you repair."

He'd already paid the deposit? Was he overthinking things? Were all creatures this honest in the past? It made him a little embarrassed to keep trying to fool him.

Bai Qi looked at the black dragon horns that slowly floated in front of him, feeling somewhat conflicted.

Should we eat this windfall, especially such a large one?
