Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 712 Undead Siege

A city without natural defenses.

Bai Qi weaved through the crowded streets, looking at the classical buildings around him with curiosity in his eyes.

"No wonder the Dynasty of Myriad Laws was called the strongest period before the Federation; the application of runes was far too widespread."

Looking at the rune lamps and rune carriages around him, all powered by runes, Bai Qi gained a new understanding of the Myriad Laws Dynasty and became increasingly curious about the Law Emperor who created this dynasty.

The fact that runes were popularized in everyday life meant that people during the Fadi era had a much greater understanding of runes than Bai Qi had anticipated.

And all of this was clearly brought about by the French Emperor.

"Indeed, although it is still a bit rough in terms of mechanical structure, it can definitely be considered a prototype of the mechanical engineering department."

Bai Qi nodded slightly. From the rune devices he observed, they were almost indistinguishable from mechanical creations of later generations. Although they were far inferior in precision, they had their own unique features in the application of energy.

"It's a pity that Black and White were left behind on the front lines as a trump card and couldn't cross over with us, otherwise we could have made him our guide."

Bai Qi looked around and his eyes lit up when he saw a familiar sign. He immediately strode over to it.

Beast Tamer Association.

Bai Qi pushed open the oak door and entered the Beastmaster Association. Upon seeing the interior structure, he raised an eyebrow.

Beastmasters were either gathered around the quest board selecting quests, or drinking heartily in the rest area, sharing their experiences.

It's more accurate to call this a tavern than a branch of the association.

However, it is precisely because of this that the Beast Tamers are able to let go of all their pressure and enjoy this moment of tranquility.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

A waitress walked up to Bai Qi and asked with a smile.

"Give me a glass of... um, juice."

Although he was an adult, Bai Qi still resisted alcohol; he disliked the feeling of having his nerves numbed by alcohol.

"OK."

The waitress smiled slightly and quickly brought a glass of juice to Bai Qi.

"Sir, you're not a beast tamer from Wuxian City, are you?"

The waitress placed the juice in front of Bai Qi and said.

"That's right, I just arrived in Wuxian City today. Do you have any advice for me?"

Bai Qi bowed slightly to express his gratitude and asked.

His main purpose in coming here, besides wanting to see what the Beast Tamer Association looked like a thousand years ago, was to obtain some useful information.

"Don't go to the shores of Lake Taize, and don't go near the Muye Hills. This is my advice."

The waitress smiled and said, "Please enjoy your meal, sir."

Thank you.

Bai Qi nodded slightly, picked up the cup, and took a sip.

It has a sweet and sour taste, and is incredibly refreshing. Fruits grown in an environment free from mechanical pollution taste just the best.

Bai Qi savored his drink with satisfaction, his ears twitching occasionally as he absorbed information from his surroundings.

"As expected, the threat posed by the Sanshui tribe to Wuxian City is considerable, but this Muye Hill..."

Bai Qi stroked his chin, a vague guess forming in his mind. Just as he was about to ask someone to confirm it, he saw a rune at the entrance of the Beast Tamer Association suddenly flash red, followed by an anxious voice coming from it.

"Undead siege! All Beastmasters, ascend the city walls to prepare for battle! Beastmasters below rank three and civilians, immediately seek refuge in the shelters!"

In an instant, the association fell silent. Whether they were drinking or accepting missions, the beast tamers all looked towards the door. After hearing the second alarm sound, they all got up and rushed outside.

"An undead siege? So, this Muye Hill really was the predecessor of the Hill of the Dead?"

Seeing the tavern become empty in a short time, Bai Qi drank the juice in his glass in one gulp, summoned the husky, and flew towards the city wall.

The residents of Wuwei City had clearly adapted to the situation. Although they looked panicked, they still made their way to the shelter in an orderly manner under the soldiers' leadership.

As for the beast tamers, they summoned their respective pets and rushed towards the city wall from which Bai Qi had come.

No matter the era, beast tamers are always at the forefront.

Awoo awoo~

(Human, I smell a lot of dead spirits coming!)

"It seems this undead invasion is quite large. Let's hurry and go check it out."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, and the husky quickened its pace, soon arriving at the city wall.

At this moment, a large number of beast tamers had gathered on the city wall, all with solemn expressions, looking ahead.

Bai Qi followed the crowd's gaze and saw a sea of ​​white bones surging towards the city.

The undead scourge, the enemy of mankind!

"Everyone, ranged skills ready!"

A leader observed the distance to the undead legion, raised his right hand high, and the beast tamers on the city wall, whether or not they belonged to the military, all cooperated by preparing their pets.

"The rune cannon is ready to fire!"

Just then, cannons rose from inside the city walls, their mysterious carvings gleaming with dazzling light.

"put!"

In an instant, various skills, combined with energy pillars, roared out and landed precisely in the sea of ​​bones.

Boom boom boom!

A series of loud explosions followed, and countless skeletons were shattered by these skills. Occasionally, a few less injured skeletons were trampled to pieces by their companions who came from behind.

The first wave of attacks did almost no damage to the Scourge.

"Damn it, there are so many this time?"

The leader, glaring at the seemingly endless undead army, gritted his teeth and roared, "Prepare for the second and third waves of attacks! Rotate in groups of three! Don't give these filthy creatures a chance to breathe!"

"yes!"

The beast tamers responded in unison and launched an orderly attack under the command of their leader.

However, the undead army continued to approach Wuxian City in an orderly manner.

"Although the approach is good, it's still not enough."

Bai Qi quickly saw through the trick. Both the rune cannons and the beast tamers' attacks were powerful, but it was obvious that the other side had high-level undead constantly summoning new undead.

Unless you have a massive area-of-effect skill or can behead that high-level undead, it will be very difficult to deal with this wave of undead invasion.

Gara gara?

(Boss, do you need me to help?)

"No need. Alpha, your appearance will only cause more chaos. After all, there is still a legend in this city who hasn't made a move yet. Let's wait and see."

Bai Qi shook his head, rejecting Alpha's offer.

He was not from this era, after all, and Bai Qi was unsure whether his arbitrary intervention in these historical practices would have any impact on the future.

Although there are many theories about time travel, such as "time is a cycle, and everything you do is predetermined" and "every decision you make will create a parallel universe"...

There are countless similar claims, and Bai Qi can't be sure which one is true, so the safest approach is to wait and see.

As the undead legion drew closer, the beastmasters on the city walls could even see the remaining flesh and blood on the front-line skeletons, and the sense of oppression in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.

Compared to these unkillable undead, they would rather confront the ferocious beasts of the Sanbai tribe head-on.

At least they don't have to worry about themselves and their pets becoming slaves to the undead after they die, causing harm to their families.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly darted out from the city wall and rushed into the undead army, cutting all the undead in half wherever he went.

"They're here!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi looked closely and saw a short-haired man dressed in a tailcoat, holding a long knife, slowly rise up. He glanced at the skeletons trying to surround him, then made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand. Several blue arrows materialized out of thin air and began to spin rapidly around the man, easily shattering the surrounding skeletons.

"Wow...that look is really cool!"

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but admire it. Putting everything else aside, this human legend's appearance and combat prowess were both incredibly stunning.

If this happened in later generations, it would definitely have a huge group of fanatical fans, and might even threaten the teacher's popularity.

"Ahhh! It really is Legend of Enma, so cool! I can't breathe..."

"Ahhh..."

Okay, now there are also die-hard fans.

Startled by the scream beside him, Bai Qi quietly hid in a corner and watched the Yama Legend wreaking havoc below. Suddenly, he asked Alpha a question.

"Alpha, if you were to fight him, could you win?"

Crackling.

(I won't lose.)

"Understood."

Bai Qi understood immediately. Not losing meant they could win, and considering that Alpha was able to detect the opponent's aura in advance, the probability of winning was probably even higher.

Awoo awoo!

(Humans, another powerful presence is coming!)

Just then, Beta suddenly warned Bai Qi, and the absurd clown also shook his mask, reminding Bai Qi to be careful.

Bai Qi then felt the air around him turn cold. Looking up, he was shocked to see a tall, six-armed warrior, completely encased in ice and wielding an ice fork, emerge from the undead army and charge toward Yama Legend.

"Legendary undead? No wonder we can't seem to kill all these skeletons."

Despite the imposing aura of the Ice Warrior, Enma Legend showed no fear and charged forward with his longsword.

As a legendary being skilled in fusion combat, Yama's melee abilities are among the best in the Empire. Naturally, he was eager to take on this legendary undead who was also clearly a melee fighter.

But it was precisely because of this that the undead army, which had been intercepted by Yama Legend, advanced again and continued its march toward Wuxian City.

"Are all these fusion-type beast tamers this reckless...?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi felt helpless. Among the beast tamers he knew, those who seemed to have fusion talents or possessed pet beasts seemed to be hot-blooded players who would disregard everything once they got into it.

As the undead legion drew ever closer and Yama Legend was entangled by the Ice Warrior, Bai Qi brushed his right hand across the badge on his chest, transforming the Absurd Clown into a mask and putting it on his face. With the husky by his side, he leaped into the midst of the undead legion.

Bai Qi's target was none other than a black-robed undead who was constantly summoning skeletons.

"It's my hometown, after all, so I should help out..."
