Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 684 Fragments of the Bronze Dragon Secret Realm

After a long while, the sound of swords clashing gradually faded away. Only then did Bai Qi peek out from inside the secret realm tower, carefully survey his surroundings, and release the other pets and sea beasts after confirming that it was safe.

Awoo awoo?

(Where are the dead beasts? Did they all run away?)

"They didn't run away, they were all wiped out."

Shuke glanced at Alpha, who was still standing at the top of the Secret Realm Tower, and already knew what had happened.

"I didn't expect the bonus from the Secret Realm Tower to be so significant, it seems even better than the effects of Huangfu Chuanqi and the others?"

Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction. Alpha could also eliminate those sea beasts on its own, but its efficiency would never be this high. Moreover, judging from Alpha's appearance, its consumption did not seem to be very high.

"No wonder everyone says the Secret Realm Tower is a deadly weapon on the battlefield; there's some truth to that."

Shuke kept comparing and calculating the amplification effect of the Secret Realm Tower, then a resolute look flashed in his eyes, and he returned directly to the Secret Realm base.

"What's wrong with this guy now?"

Bai Qi was puzzled by this, but before he could ask Shuke, Alpha above his head suddenly summoned.

Crackling.

(Boss, I found the cowhide snake.)

"Oh? Is that guy alright?"

Crackling.

(He should be fine, but his breathing seems a little strange.)

Because of the snake, Alpha's attack just now, though seemingly mindless, was precisely controlled in terms of strength and direction, so it naturally wouldn't hurt the snake.

"Let's go take a look first."

From the moment they entered the River of Oblivion Trench, the cowhide snake's condition had been somewhat off, and now that it was involved with the Death Round Table, Bai Qi was still a little worried.

Led by Alpha, Bai Qi and his group arrived at an inconspicuous little house.

The house was located in a corner of the base, very inconspicuous, and even the dead beasts hadn't damaged it.

Bai Qi would never have noticed this place before, but because of the chaos caused by the dead beast, the small house became somewhat noticeable against the backdrop of the surrounding ruins.

"Is the cowhide snake right here?"

Bai Qi and Alpha confirmed their agreement. Alpha nodded slightly, and with a flash of sword light, the small house instantly collapsed, revealing the situation inside.

The cabin was simply furnished; it was just an ordinary bedroom. However, the bed had been overturned by something, revealing a stone door that had been pushed open halfway.

Crackling.

(Boss, this is where the aura of the cowhide snake was last seen.)

"These days, there are still such simple entrances to secret rooms? That's so tacky."

Bai Qi looked at it with disdain, but still came to the stone gate.

Behind the stone gate was a secret passage that could only be passed by one person at a time, so Bai Qi simply left the sea beasts outside to guard against any unexpected situations, while he went in with Alpha and the Absurd Clown.

The secret passage was very long and had no branching paths; Bai Qi walked for a long time without reaching the end.

"Alpha, can you sense where the end is?"

Crackling.

(Almost there, about 100 meters left.)

Alpha sensed it for a moment and then replied.

"There's something strange about digging such a long secret passage."

Bai Qi frowned slightly, looked around, and continued forward, finally arriving at the end of the secret passage.

However, the end was not the secluded place Bai Qi had imagined, but a wall with a relief carving, and the relief was obviously disturbed.

"Does restoring the relief sculpture allow us to open the entrance?"

Bai Qi glanced at the relief a few times, but suddenly turned back without hesitation.

Gara gara?

(Boss, is there something wrong with this relief?)

Alpha looked puzzled and asked.

"The relief is fine, but it's clearly not where the cowhide snake disappeared."

Bai Qi shook his head, glanced at the relief, and said, "Besides, do you think a cowhide snake can operate something so complex?"

Crackling.

(It seems impossible.)

Alpha remained silent upon hearing this, and followed Bai Qi back to the entrance of the secret passage.

"Can't find your mobile phone?"

Seeing Bai Qi return empty-handed, Ming Dian couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's not like we gained nothing."

Bai Qi shook his head and restored the stone door to its half-open state. Looking through the passage, he indeed discovered a talisman array hidden behind the stone door.

The rune array was not complicated. Bai Qi only glanced at it and could tell that its main function was teleportation.

"Since the entrance is here, the thing at the end of the secret passage is undoubtedly a trap."

Bai Qi couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. Most people would assume that the relief was the key to the secret passage and the end of it, but who would have thought that someone would hide the entrance on the main gate?

"Let's go in and take a look. Something that the Death Table would go to such lengths to hide must be something good!"

Bai Qi became interested, put on a mask and rushed in first, followed closely by Alpha, leaving the group of sea beasts looking at each other in bewilderment.

Suddenly, I feel like we're just a burden.

The Exploding Orca looked at the Icefoot Sea Lice King and said.

"No, you are not. You are the mount, I am the mount."

The Ice-Foot Sea Lice King shook his head and said.

Explosive Orca: "..."

"Two legends, one mount, one burden—then what are we?"

The Bloodthirsty Manta Ray shook its head and asked the Dark Lightning.

"Useless..."

……

After passing through the teleportation array, Bai Qi arrived at a pitch-black space, somewhat similar to the Death Knight manufacturing base hidden beneath the Angelic Realm.

However, the place has clearly been cleared out, and traces of relocation remain on the ground.

"It's hidden so well; it seems this is the core location of the base."

Bai Qi looked around and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

This place is cleaner than a rat crossing; it will be very difficult for them to find any useful information.

"But where did that cowhide snake go?"

Bai Qi looked around but still couldn't find any trace of the cowhide snake. In the end, it was Alpha that discovered the anomaly.

Alpha slashed with his sword, and the once flat ground suddenly shattered, revealing a huge hole.

Bai Qi walked to the front of the cave and looked down. He was shocked to see a huge pool of water below, filled with black liquid that constantly emitted an ominous aura.

"A death virus?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly and looked closely, then saw several water outlets around the pool.

"Is this where the Death Round Table cultivated the Death Virus and then let it spread into the seawater? No wonder it's nowhere to be found in the West Sea. If the quantity is controlled properly, it is indeed very difficult to detect."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately understood. He looked at Alpha, who complied and released the Annihilation Dragon, which plunged into the pool and instantly devoured the black liquid.

Having absorbed a large amount of the Death Virus, the body of the Annihilation Dragon became increasingly solid. These creatures, which terrified sea beasts, ended up as nourishment in the Death Dragon's mouth.

However, Bai Qi was in no mood to care about any of that right now, as he was drawn to the cowhide snake at the bottom center of the pool.

At this moment, the cowhide snake lay curled up at the bottom of the pool with its eyes closed, and in front of it, a bronze-colored metal fragment was quietly floating there.

"That's... a fragment of the Bronze Dragon Realm?"

Although it was incomplete, Bai Qi recognized the origin of the bronze fragment at a glance; it was shaped like a pocket watch dial.

"It's truly like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly. We actually found the fragments of the Bronze Dragon Realm while searching for a death virus."

Bai Qi grinned, just about to go down and collect the fragment of the Bronze Dragon Secret Realm, when suddenly a light emanated from the fragment and merged into the body of the bull-skin snake. The bull-skin snake's body gradually grew larger, and in a short while, it became the size of a calf.

"Good heavens, has it absorbed the power of its own clan and begun to awaken its bloodline?"

Bai Qi looked at the cowhide snake, which finally resembled a dragon, with some surprise.

He had seen something similar before with Nicholas, but Nicholas inherited the power of a mythical green dragon (possibly), while the bullskin snake was clearly lacking.

But at least, this cowhide snake can finally shed its snake name and join the ranks of the dragons.

I wonder what Beta will do when he finds out. From snake to dragon, will these two still be able to fight?

Finally, the changes on the cowhide snake stopped, and its size grew to the size of a husky. From a distance, it already possessed some of the majestic appearance of a dragon.

"How did I fall asleep?"

The bullskin snake slowly awoke, looking around in a daze. Upon seeing the bronze fragments, it suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "I've found the bronze dragon..."

"I see it, the Bronze Dragon Realm."

Bai Qi descended from the sky and landed in front of the cowhide snake, which, after a brief moment of confusion, realized the changes in itself.

"My body... I've finally transformed back into a bronze dragon?!"

"That's right, congratulations!"

Bai Qi patted the bronze dragon, then looked at the fragments.

Seemingly sensing Bai Qi's appearance, or rather, the appearance of the time secret realm within Bai Qi's beast-taming space, the bronze fragment trembled rapidly. After swaying back and forth between the cowhide snake and Bai Qi for a moment, it still took the initiative to rush towards Bai Qi.

Seeing this, Bai Qi did not dodge, letting the bronze fragment transform into a stream of light and rush into the Beast Taming Space, merging into the Time Secret Realm.

Splash splash splash...

After the new fragments were integrated, the environment within the Time Realm changed. Not only did the space become much larger, but a long, illusory river also appeared, emitting a rushing sound.

But upon closer inspection, the river is not filled with water, but with grains of fine sand.

"Could this be the legendary River of Time?"

The Bronze Dragon is a guardian of time, constantly traversing the River of Time, but Bai Qi still couldn't quite imagine pulling the River of Time into the secret realm.

"That's right, this is the river of time."

The cowhide snake followed Bai Qi in and, sensing the rich power of time here, immediately lunged towards the river of time, only to miss its target.

"It seems there are too few fragments to form a physical entity. Perhaps when I gather all the fragments, this long river will become real?"

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
