Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 631 Have we found the ancestral land of the elves?

"Phew~ This makes it the tenth monarch-level creature today."

Looking at the colossal creature that had crashed to the ground before him, Bai Qi silently marked it on the mission board and said, "But why do I feel that the deeper we go into Thunder Mountain, the greater the discrepancy between these ferocious beasts and the information recorded in the mission log becomes?"

According to the mission log, the creature active in this area should be a Kuka bear, but the one they dealt with now clearly had many characteristics of other creatures.

Cordyceps nodded and said, "I have also noticed that this Kuka Bear has a strong natural force and dragon force. I suspect that there may really have been a green dragon here."

"Green Dragon... Azure Dragon... What exactly is the origin of this Thunder Mountain?"

Bai Qi put away the mission board, glanced at the sun still high in the sky, and asked, "Epsilon, can you contact Nicholas?"

"I'll give it a try."

Cordyceps nodded, its eyes flashing with emerald light, and began to connect with the Emerald Dream.

Just then, Delta, which had shrunk to the size of a small snake, suddenly darted out, reverted to the size of a dragon, and swung a claw towards the direction of the forest.

woo woo woo...

A mournful cry came from afar. Delta pulled hard, and a strange creature that resembled a bear and a leopard, but also had owl wings, appeared in front of Bai Qi.

Bubbling.

(Master, this ferocious beast is watching us from the side.)

Delta threw the strange, ferocious beast in front of Bai Qi.

"A ferocious beast?"

Bai Qi was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at the cordyceps with a puzzled expression. The cordyceps also looked embarrassed, clearly not expecting that there was a ferocious beast hidden here.

"I did not detect this ferocious beast approaching. I apologize, Chief."

Because there were no imperial creatures in this area, Bai Qi sent the other pets back after getting familiar with the environment of Thunder Mountain for a while, leaving only Cordyceps and Delta to protect him.

Because of the dragon's might of the cordyceps, some low-level ferocious beasts dared not approach it at all. With the protection of Delta and the insect guards, even fewer ferocious beasts could get close to Bai Qi.

However, Bai Qi was quite surprised that this ferocious beast was able to approach this place without the insect grass's senses.

At the same time, it could deceive both Cordyceps and Delta. Even setting aside others, only Alpha might be able to do it on Bai Qi's side.

However, this ferocious beast was merely an elite creature.

Is this something that elite organisms could really do?

Bai Qi approached the strange, ferocious beast and examined it closely.

As he had seen before, this ferocious beast was like a joke played by the Creator, haphazardly assembled.

"Delta, was it artificially cultured?"

Bai Qi poked at the ferocious beast a few times, but couldn't find any place resembling a stitch.

Bubbling.

(It doesn't seem like it; no traces of human intervention were found in the Delta; it should have been formed naturally.)

Delta shook his head, picked up the ferocious beast and examined it carefully for a moment, but still couldn't find any clues.

(Moreover, the beast's aura blended perfectly into Thunder Mountain; if Delta hadn't sensed the spatial fluctuations, she wouldn't have been able to detect it.)

"Has its energy merged into Thunder Mountain?"

Bai Qi was increasingly surprised. He knew that the concealment skill could blend one's aura into the surrounding environment.

Even the strongest concealment skills cannot completely erase one's presence. Even those who are invisible or hidden in the void, like Delta, will still leave some traces.

But Bai Qi had never heard of anything as perfectly concealed as this combination monster.

Seeing Bai Qi's puzzled expression, Delta flickered the red candlelight in her left eye, and the time of the ferocious beast in her hand began to flow backward, gradually returning to the state before she met Bai Qi.

"Using time travel to find the cause? Delta, you've already reached that level?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi's eyes lit up. After obtaining the power of time and space, Delta had been in seclusion for many years and had not fought many battles. He did not expect that he could go back so long.

Bubbling.

(Delta wasn't sure either; this beast was relatively weak, which would allow for a longer time rewind.)

Delta offered an explanation, then increased the output of his power, and the speed at which the ferocious beast retraced its path also increased once again.

Soon, changes began to appear on the ferocious beast. The three creatures that had been perfectly fused together began to slowly separate. However, before Bai Qi could see the end, the beast suddenly let out a painful howl and then suddenly exploded.

"What's going on? Delta, did you use too much force?"

Bubbling.

(No, Delta's time travel was interfered with by some force, causing a conflict.)

Delta seemed to have suffered some backlash as well, covering her eyes with lingering fear as she spoke.

"Interference from some force? Affecting time reversal? What force could influence the power of time?!"

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised and became increasingly curious about the origins of this fusion monster.

Although the rewind was abruptly interrupted, it is still possible to see that this fusion monster was formed by the fusion of three different creatures, and that the fusion occurred recently.

But even though it's an acquired fusion, there's not a trace of it, and it can even block the reversal of time's power, which is quite interesting.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi immediately summoned the husky and told it about the fusion monster.

"It can perfectly fuse with living beings and even interrupt time reversal?"

A stream of data flashed in Shuke's eyes, and various colored lights swept across the blood remaining in the fusion monster, quickly analyzing it.

"Genes from different organisms were indeed detected in the blood, but no other special substances were detected."

Shuke put away the ray, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

"If we had known about extracting samples earlier, we might have been able to find some clues."

"I haven't found any souls here either. Perhaps their souls were completely destroyed in the explosion caused by the backtracking."

Jerry offered his opinion, saying, "However, the ability to completely destroy a soul might be related to the power that interferes with the power of time."

After listening to Shuke and Jerry's analysis, Bai Qi seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems there are more secrets hidden in Leishan than I thought."

First there was the Awakening Tree and the Hidden Dragon Stone, then that green dragon whose existence was unknown, and now they've encountered this strange fusion monster.

The things buried underground in Leishan made him increasingly curious.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi summoned all his pet beasts, even the Seven Sword Dragon Riders, the Twelve Zodiac Animals, and the Dragon Insect Guards, saying, "New mission: Find these strange fusion monsters, and ideally, find their source. Understand?"

"clear!"

Cordyceps was the first to agree, and then it activated the Dream Weaver, beginning to connect with the dreams of the surrounding creatures.

As for Beta, who had the strongest senses in the team, he followed the aura of the fusion monster and searched his way out.

With the two pets taking the lead, the other creatures also used their own methods to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area.

However, even as the sun began to set, Bai Qi's pets could not find any trace of the other fused monster, as if the fused monster was just a coincidence.

"Looks like I'll have to come back tomorrow."

Seeing the pets return empty-handed one by one, Bai Qi had no choice but to give up for the time being.

This isn't the ancient city of Suo, and he's not familiar with it. He'll wait until he gets back and learns more from Liu Bei before searching again.

Just then, Nicholas suddenly emerged from the Emerald Dream. Seeing Bai Qi's serious expression, he was taken aback at first, but quickly ran to the side and said, "Bai Qi, this dragon has found a clue!"

"A clue? You found the green dragon?"

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard this. They had originally come to look for clues about the Green Dragon. Although they changed their target along the way, they did not expect to have a success with Nicholas.

"You'll find out when you come with me."

Nicholas nodded, then grabbed Bai Qi and pulled him into the Emerald Dream.

Although it was already dusk outside, the Emerald Dreamland was bustling with activity.

Life is too hard, and now most citizens of the Federation have developed the habit of coming to Emerald Dream to relax, or even just to take a nap here.

However, Nicholas's purpose was not there. After waking up Bai Qi and the others, Nicholas led them to fly at high speed in the air and soon stopped in front of a huge lake.

"Is this the lake where the crocodiles were captured before?"

Bai Qi quickly recognized the terrain and asked curiously, "Could the green dragon you mentioned, Nicholas, be in this lake?"

"It's not the green dragon, but something else."

Nicholas shook his head, using the power of emeralds to conjure a map in the air. He pointed to one part, then pointed downwards, and said, "Bai Qi, don't you think this place looks a lot like this part of the map of the Elven Ancestral Land?"

"Is the ancestral land of the elves within the Emerald Dream?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. He had been paying attention to the matter of the ancestral land of the elves, since it concerned the evolution of the huskies.

Despite Shuke searching through the Federation map and even investigating some of the tribes under Federation control, he still found no clues.

It turns out that the ancestral land of the elves was actually in the Emerald Dream?

"Not in the Emerald Dream, what I mean is that the lake where we first landed might be related to the ancestral land of the elves."

Nicholas shook his head and patiently began to explain.

"According to the memories of our Green Dragon bloodline, the Emerald Dream existed since the beginning of the world, and its terrain is exactly the same as that of the main world."

"In a sense, the Emerald Dream is the other side of the main world."

"But as external civilizations developed, the main world gradually began to differ from the Emerald Dream."

Nicholas paused for a moment, then said, "Especially with the end of the mythical age, many of the terrains in the main world have changed, completely separating it from the Emerald Dream."

"But unexpectedly, I found terrain similar to the ancestral lands of the elves in the Emerald Dream, which means..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi finally understood and said:

"So, before the legendary topographical change, Thunder Mountain was very likely the ancestral home of the elves?"

"Could all of these things we're encountering now be related to elves?"
