Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 612 Piccolo the Great Demon King Cangzhe Branch King?

Seeing that Bai Qi seemed to be relenting, the Immortal Insect Emperor immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "I can exchange it for a legendary bloodline resource. Although it cannot compare to a mythical bloodline, it should be of considerable help to this young brother."

As he spoke, the Immortal Insect King took out a molted shell and said, "This is the shell I shed a year ago. It also possesses my own bloodline and can barely be considered a legendary resource. If you are willing, I would like to exchange this for a piece of Epsilon's carapace."

"Don't worry, I will heal your injuries and there will be no lasting effects."

The Immortal Insect King showed great sincerity, which made Yang Ming, who was standing to the side, somewhat envious.

Trading a legendary insect molt for a piece of carapace is a win no matter how you look at it, since for the Zerg, a piece of carapace is hardly even considered an injury.

"Trading one legendary resource for one shell sounds like a pretty good deal."

Bai Qi remained silent upon hearing this, beginning to consider whether to proceed with the transaction, while the cordyceps beside him was clearly also somewhat tempted.

Using just a piece of shell to make this terrifying creature spare you sounds like a pretty good deal.

The man and the insect exchanged a glance and quickly reached a consensus.

"make a deal!"

Bai Qi deftly took the insect molt, while Cordyceps readily tore off a piece of its own carapace and tossed it to the Immortal Insect King.

Thank you!

The Immortal Insect King excitedly took the carapace, resisting the urge to swallow it, and stretched out its forelimbs to rest on the Cordyceps. The Cordyceps' broken carapace instantly regenerated.

"Such powerful recovery skills!"

Bai Qi's eyes lit up. No wonder it dared to be called immortal; its vitality was indeed incredibly strong. In that case, the molted insect would probably have a similar effect.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately mobilized his mental energy to check the state of the molted insect.

[Material Name]: Immortal Insect Molt

[Material Grade]: Legendary

[Material Description]: The outer shell shed from the Immortal Insect King, but still possesses powerful vitality and bloodline power.

[Material Effects]: Immortal Body (Super -37%), Heart of the Swarm (Super -29%), Biosynthesis (Super -33%), Unknown (1%)

……

"Quite a few skills!"

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon seeing this. All three skills that could be obtained were super skills, indicating that the quality of this Immortal Insect Molt was quite high. It was clear that the Immortal Insect Emperor was truly very sincere.

"But how exactly does this Immortal Insect King intend to use this piece of carapace to recreate the bloodline of the Sunwheel Beetle?"

Bai Qi looked at the Immortal Insect King with curiosity, but the Immortal Insect King did not try to hide anything and swallowed the piece of carapace from the cordyceps.

"It really is the bloodline of the Sunwheel Beetle! Hmm? How come it also has the bloodline of a green dragon?"

As the Immortal Insect King chewed, it analyzed the bloodline within, and a hint of anticipation gradually rose in its compound eyes.

"With such powerful bloodlines, they are sure to produce the strongest offspring!"

The Immortal Insect King swallowed the carapace, its belly swelled up, and then it slowly moved towards the head of the Immortal Insect King, who then opened its mouth and spat it out.

A giant, cyan-gold egg was spat out of the Immortal Insect King's mouth and landed on the ground.

"Holy crap, Piccolo the Great Demon King, Azure King?!"

Bai Qi's heart skipped a beat, as if he could already see a monkey-tailed boy riding a golden auspicious cloud rushing towards him.

"But why is it vomited out? Shouldn't insects lay eggs by...?"

Bai Qi looked at the Immortal Insect King with a puzzled expression, while Yang Ming immediately explained, "The Immortal Insect King... is male."

"Male?!"

Bai Qi was astonished, and even the cordyceps beside him trembled.

So, he was just forced into marriage by a male insect?

"That's right, it's male. It's just that the Immortal Insect King has a special skill that allows it to use its powerful life force to hatch offspring."

Yang Ming patiently explained, and was not surprised by Bai Qi and the others' reactions.

After all, this situation is indeed somewhat absurd.

Spitting out the egg seemed to have taken a toll on the Immortal Insect King, which took a long time to recover. The giant cyan-gold egg slowly cracked open.

"It's hatched already? Shouldn't it have incubated for a little longer?"

Bai Qi was somewhat shocked to see this. He could tolerate the egg spitting out of his mouth, but this shell that he had just eaten could directly hatch into a new species?

Even the pigs in the production team wouldn't dare to give birth like that!

"I have some primitive worm eggs stored in my body all year round. What I just did was inject the genes I extracted into them."

The Immortal Insect King, having achieved his goal, was in a good mood and patiently explained, "Although it cannot be compared with offspring raised from scratch, it is sufficient to demonstrate its effectiveness."

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, while Cordyceps looked at the giant egg in front of him with anticipation.

Although I didn't experience that process, they are still his bloodline, so it would be a lie to say I wasn't a little excited.

Finally, the eggshell broke, and an ant with a bluish-gold shell appeared before everyone.

"It really is a chimeric ant~"

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon seeing this. The fusion of superior genes to create new ants was really no different from the chimeric ant operation.

rustling...

The newborn ants were clearly very curious about this new world, constantly looking around, and when they saw the Immortal Insect King, they respectfully lay down in front of him.

The hierarchical relationship among ants is no worse than that among the dead, so the newborn ants naturally dared not rebel against the queen who had conceived them.

The Immortal Insect King was very satisfied with this new offspring. After a brief, rustling communication, the ant spread its wings and flew away.

Because it inherited the bloodline of cordyceps, this ant's wings are also bluish-gold, and when the wings flap, one can occasionally see the phantom of a sun.

As the sun shone, the sun gradually brightened, like a small sun rising in a thunderous forest.

"They really inherited it?!"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to see this. He had agreed to the deal partly because he didn't want to create a rift with a friendly legendary creature for no reason, and partly because he wanted to make a deal with it.

Another reason Bai Qi wanted to see was whether the Immortal Insect Emperor was truly so extraordinary that it could pass on the genes it consumed to its offspring.

But judging from the current situation, it seems like it might actually work?

As the sun's disc on the ant gradually lit up, a second sun rose in the Thunder Forest, and one could vaguely sense the aura of a dragon.

"This ability is incredible!"

Bai Qi felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this. Although the Immortal Insect Emperor said that he himself could not inherit these abilities, his descendants would not be able to inherit multiple bloodlines.

But if even mythical bloodlines can be passed down, doesn't that mean that as long as enough resources are collected, a Zerg army composed entirely of mythical bloodlines can be built?

Yang Ming was equally excited. He had been defeated by Cordyceps before, and he knew very well the power of Cordyceps bloodline.

If they could preserve the bloodline of the Cordyceps, their Cangzhe Academy would have another batch of powerful insect-type beast tamers.

"Leader, the power of the Great Sun within him seems to be starting to become unbalanced."

Just then, the Cordyceps suddenly opened its mouth, flapped its wings and flew towards the ant in the air. The Immortal Insect King also noticed the clue and instantly arrived beside the ant.

However, they were a little too slow. Just as the Immortal Insect King reached the ant, the ant's body slowly turned into ashes and scattered.

"What's going on?"

Yang Ming was puzzled by this, while Cordyceps explained regretfully, "This ant did indeed gain the ability to absorb the power of the great sun, but it seems unable to store it. If it absorbs too much, its body can't handle it and it disintegrates."

"Can't handle it?"

Bai Qi understood upon hearing this, and looked at the Immortal Insect King, asking, "Your Excellency Immortal Insect King, is it because the gestation period was too short?"

The Immortal Insect King shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that; it's just that it can't withstand the power of the Great Sun."

With that, the Immortal Insect Emperor sighed and said, "As expected, mythical bloodlines are not so easy to bear."

At this point, the Immortal Insect King immediately turned to look at Bai Qi, who looked wary and put away the Immortal Insect Molt.

"If it fails, don't blame me. Payment is due, no refunds or exchanges!"

Upon seeing this, the Immortal Insect King couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't go so far as to renege on my debt. I just want to ask how you obtained the bloodline of the Sun Wheel Beetle?"

Bai Qi paused for a moment, then selectively informed the Immortal Insect Emperor about what had happened within the Sun Secret Realm.

"So that's how it is, it's a secret realm of inheritance, no wonder."

The Immortal Insect King felt somewhat regretful upon hearing this. Inheritance secret realms usually have their own special methods, so it was normal that he could not replicate them.

"It seems I'll have to weaken this bloodline before trying again."

The Immortal Insect Emperor paused for a moment, then said, "If possible, I hope to have a good talk with this young man; perhaps we can find a solution."

"Me? Forget it, I'm not cut out for this!"

Upon hearing this, Cordyceps shook its head repeatedly and immediately hid back beside Bai Qi, while Nicholas also warily blocked the Immortal Insect Emperor.

If it were a female, he would even be a little envious, but a male insect? Forget it.

"Actually, it's not impossible. As far as I know, the main research of the Ice Feather Branch of the Super God Evolution Research Institute is the study of various powerful bloodlines. If Master Bai Qi doesn't mind, perhaps our Cangzhe Academy can cooperate with your institute."

Yang Ming's eyes sharpened, and he took the opportunity to offer Bai Qi a suggestion.

"Let me go back and find out first."

Bai Qi nodded slightly upon hearing this. He wasn't very familiar with the situation of the various branch academies. Although he was the dean of the main academy, he didn't usually get involved in its affairs, so it wasn't appropriate for him to interfere with the branch academies without authorization.

However, he now understood why Yang Ming had taken him to visit the breeding area right away; it turned out that Yang Ming was planning to cooperate with the Super God Evolution Research Institute.

"Alright, I'll wait for Master Bai Qi's reply."

Yang Ming nodded, then said, "Then, Immortal Insect Emperor, I'll take Master Bai Qi and the others to continue their tour first, and I'll come back to find you later?"

"Okay, I need to go back and try it again."

The Immortal Insect King glanced at the Cordyceps with some regret before returning to the Thunder Forest.

"Master Bai Qi, shall we continue?"

Yang Ming looked at Bai Qi and said, "It's still early, Master Bai Qi, would you like to take a look at our other training area?"

"sure."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. Cangzhe Academy has a profound foundation, so it would be good to learn more from it.
