Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 62 Rune Golem

Huh?

(Who is this fellow Daoist undergoing tribulation here?)

Upon seeing the rune golem suddenly explode, the husky's eyes lit up and it wanted to rush over to investigate, but an ice wall rose up in front of it, blocking its way.

Crackling.

(This is my enemy!)

Alpha stood in front of the husky, and without hesitation, launched an attack on the rune golem that had fallen to the ground due to the explosion of the circular saw.

While you are sick, I will kill you!

Moreover, this guy is far from being sick!

Sure enough, as Alpha launched another attack, the circular saw, which had been blown far away by the aftershocks of the explosion, suddenly flew back and reattached itself to the rune golem's hand.

You can play it like this?

This technology seems to have some mechanical restructuring aspects.

Bai Qi became even more curious after seeing this, and Alpha's ice sword slash landed on the rune puppet.

Thick frost spread along Alpha's ice sword. Although the rune golem continued to cut, it couldn't keep up with the speed of the frost's spread and was gradually restricted in its movements.

Bai Qi's requirement was to restrict their movements, and Alpha naturally carried it out to the end.

Clang, clang.

However, just as Alpha was about to completely control the rune golem, the rune golem's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and a huge cannon suddenly emerged from the golem's chest. A burst of scorching energy slowly gathered towards the center, and even the frost on its body began to melt.

"Alpha, take it out first."

Seeing the rune puppet suddenly erupt, Bai Qi lost all interest in leisurely play and immediately ordered Alpha to deal with it.

Crackling.

Upon receiving the command, Alpha immediately raised its greatsword, and a series of ice blades roared out.

As Alpha's proficiency with the Ice Sword Slash gradually improved, he was able to control the shape of the frost attack, no longer producing the rough ice flowers he had at the beginning. This attack method was learned from Han Wei's Wind Demon Wolf.

So far, it seems to be working well, directly shattering the rune golem into pieces.

Without the concealment of external mechanisms, the rune golem's body revealed a hollow metal cube, with a fiery red crystal embedded in its center.

Fire Soul Crystal?

This thing can actually be used as an energy source?

Bai Qi looked at the Fire Soul Crystal at the core of the Rune Puppet with some surprise. Just as he was about to have Alpha retrieve the core, runes appeared on it. The same was true for the mecha fragments that Alpha had shattered; they all flew back towards the core, just like the circular saw before.

In a very short time, the runic machinery actually reassembled itself.

It can even self-repair? Was ancient technology really that advanced?

Bai Qi's expression changed, and he suddenly understood why Li Xusheng, a third-tier mixed-blood beast tamer, couldn't defeat the rune puppet.

So, he was literally worked to death?

"Alpha, attack its core."

Bai Qi gave Alpha a new command, which Alpha immediately understood and used the Ice Sword Slash again. Meanwhile, the rune machine swung its circular saw to defend itself, and the giant cannon on its chest kept firing bursts of red energy at Alpha.

However, Alpha's attack frequency was significantly higher than that of the Rune Golem, and it was quickly dismembered again, exposing its core.

This time, Alpha did not give its opponent a chance to reassemble. Its deep blue body immediately disappeared into the shadows, transforming into a shadow lotus that pierced directly into the core. The runes that were originally shining brightly were eroded by the power of shadow and immediately dissolved.

After the core shattered, the other parts also exploded one after another, giving Bai Qi no chance to conduct research.

The owner of this secret tower is quite stingy.

Bai Qi silently complained for a moment, then picked up a piece of red metal that appeared on the ground and examined it.

【Name】：Red Flame Iron

[Introduction]: Metals born in high-temperature environments have a strong ability to absorb flames.

That's not bad; it allows us to create items that counter elemental weaknesses.

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, then had Alpha freeze the Crimson Iron and toss it to the husky. Looking at the teleportation array that appeared in the distance, Bai Qi didn't rush to the next level. Instead, he took the damaged core from Alpha and began to study it.

It seems that due to the erosion of Alpha's shadow power, the core, which should have been the gathering place of energy, was preserved instead.

Bai Qi roughly checked the core but found nothing resembling a circuit. It seemed as if the energy of the Fire Soul Crystal was transmitted out of thin air.

"What a pity, the runes on it were destroyed, otherwise we could have seen what the situation was like."

Bai Qi sighed with some regret, then looked at the husky and asked, "What did you just record?"

Wang Wang!

(Do you think I'm tall enough to get through this ice wall?)

The husky rolled its eyes in annoyance, looking at the ice wall in front of it that was just taller than itself, full of resentment.

"Never mind, the next level should still be rune golems. Alpha, just remember to use Shadow Lotus to control them."

Bai Qi discarded the now-useless puppet core and, with his two pets, headed down to the next level.

……

Beneath the Tower of Lamentation.

Having finally regained his strength, Li Xusheng stood up and was about to continue his journey when Yi Yu stopped him.

"Don't rush, let's see if he can pass."

Yi Yu pointed to the fifth rune that was gradually lighting up on the gate and laughed, "President Qin, the Beast Tamer Association has quite a few talented people lately. A second-tier Beast Tamer has actually made it to the fifth level."

"Just lucky."

President Qin smirked and said, "I also investigated later. This tower seems to be a product of the era of the Dharma Emperor, right? After all, rune golems and mechanical systems are somewhat related."

"That's true, but Bai Qi is quite formidable."

Yi Yu nodded, and just as he was about to say something more, a huge skeletal dragon descended from the sky and landed in front of the Tower of Lamentation.

Above the skeletal dragon, a baby-faced boy sat upright.

"A skeletal dragon? You're Bai Qiucha, the son of He Guang? Why isn't your father here?"

President Qin glanced at the skeletal dragon a few times and immediately recognized the newcomer.

Bai Qiucha put away the skeletal dragon and walked up to President Qin. She bowed to him and said, "My father has had to leave Gusu City due to some urgent matters. I'll be in a lot of trouble taking care of Qiucha from now on, President."

"Forget about taking care of you. With your father's status, no one would dare to bully you."

President Qin smiled and said, "By the way, what brings you here today?"

Bai Qiucha pointed to the Tower of Lamentation and said, "My dad gave me a task before he left: to clear this secret tower."

"So that's how it is."

President Qin nodded, then looked at Yi Yu beside him and said, "Minister Yi, is it alright if we send one more person?"

Although the Thirteenth Bureau only granted Bai Qi priority exploration rights for three days, that was only for Bai Qi. According to convention, the Thirteenth Bureau has exclusive exploration rights for the entire month.

Yi Yu smiled and said, "The son of the legendary Minghuang is certainly acceptable."

"Xusheng, you should come in too."

Li Xusheng nodded, glanced at Bai Qiucha, and turned to walk towards the entrance. Bai Qiucha frowned and followed him.
