Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 730 The Crown of Guardians

"Ugh! My head hurts so much."

Bai Qi slowly woke up, only to feel a splitting headache, and couldn't help but shake his head vigorously.

"How come I remember it like I was swept away by the river of time?"

After a long while, Bai Qi finally came to his senses. He looked at the brilliant starry sky above and tried to contact his pet beast.

"Alpha, how are you guys doing?"

In the previous battle, all the pets were forced to return to the Beast Taming Space due to exhaustion, and we don't know how they are now.

Click-clack.

(Master Gamma is alright, but Alpha and the others haven't fully recovered yet.)

Gamma was the first to respond, followed by the other pets.

"It's good that you're alright."

Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and with a thought, the six evolution eggs enveloped Alpha and the other pet beasts.

Bathed in starlight, Bai Qi's stamina wasn't depleted too much, but Gamma still managed to emerge and help Bai Qi recover his strength.

"Thank you, Gamma."

Bai Qi patted Gamma on the shoulder, suddenly sensing a sense of unease emanating from him, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Snap snap snap...

(The angel Gamma hadn't finished digesting and vomited it out, so Gamma is feeling a bit unwell...)

Gamma squatted down next to Bai Qi and started drawing circles, clearly feeling genuinely disappointed, while Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh.

"The core of an angel's power is originally in its wings; the rest is just pure energy. It's alright."

Bai Qi smiled, his eyes suddenly becoming distant.

"Moreover, some things were probably predetermined long ago."

Guardian Angel Core, Fel Meteorite Fragment, Twin Celestial Mechs...

Everything eventually got back on track.

"By the way, Gamma, you swallowed the guardian angel's wings before, what was the feedback?"

Bai Qi gathered his thoughts and began to check on Gamma's condition.

……

[Skill Name]: Crown of Guardians

[Skill Level]: Immortal

[Skill Effect]: Beneath my crown, all is my body.

Note: After the Guardian Crown is deployed, an absolute defensive zone will be formed around Gamma. All friendly units within the zone will share Gamma's defense and resistance attributes, but Gamma will also bear the damage taken by friendly units.

……

"Shared defensive attributes? Wow, I feel like my life is saved!"

After reading the skill description of the Guardian Crown, Bai Qi suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security.

This skill is clearly born from the divinity of the guardian angel after absorbing elemental immunity and physical immunity, achieving the peak of both defense and resistance.

Sharing gamma's defense and resistance, doesn't that mean that ordinary attacks can't hurt him at all?

No, to be precise, the skills of the weaklings probably wouldn't even be able to break through the defenses.

"As for the fact that gamma will absorb the damage suffered by friendly forces..."

Bai Qi glanced at Gamma, who was silently absorbing the surrounding energy to soothe her wounded heart because of her depression, and grinned.

There's no point in thinking about this anymore.

"I don't even know where this is. It's probably not the time of the French Emperor anymore."

He seemed to be in a forest, and by the moonlight, he could see towering trees all around him.

Needless to say, it's very difficult to glean any useful information from here.

"Let's figure out a way to find human settlements first."

Bai Qi stood up from the ground, brushed off the weeds on his body, and was about to have Gamma take him away from here when a melodious wolf howl suddenly came from the dense forest.

Immediately afterwards, beams of red light emerged from the forest, tightly enveloping Bai Qi.

Click-clack.

(Master, it seems to be an Emperor-level wolf beast and its pack.)

Gamma stepped in front of Bai Qi and said.

"I saw it."

Bai Qi nodded slightly, watching a giant green wolf lead the way out of the woods, and unconsciously rubbed his shrunken belly.

"Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry too~"

……

Awoo awoo!

(Gamma, please leave me a piece, I'm starving!)

Beta lunged at Gamma, trying to snatch the wolf meat from him, but was firmly blocked by a beam of light and couldn't get close at all.

Snap snap snap!

(This is Gamma's food; no one is allowed to take it away!)

Gamma looked serious, clutching the roasted wolf meat tightly in his hands, his wings flapping behind him constantly, as if he would act at any moment if Beta dared to use force.

"Alright, Beta, you're a wolf yourself. Don't you feel disgusted eating wolf meat? Can't you learn from the others and not fight or snatch anything?"

Seeing the two pets making a ruckus, Bai Qi smiled, tore off a piece of roasted meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt completely refreshed and didn't feel greasy at all.

Barbecue really does need to be cooked with wood-based ingredients; it tastes delicious and isn't greasy at all.

Awoo awoo...

(This dog has long since transcended the constraints of the physical body; race and such are irrelevant...)

Beta shook his head, looked at the last piece of roasted meat that Gamma had swallowed, and listlessly lay down on the ground, giving Bai Qi a resentful look.

Like everyone else, not competing or fighting? Easier said than done!

Alpha is an undead, and it doesn't eat meat.

Delta is acting strangely; he spends all his time lying there sleeping, saying he's trying to understand time and space, and he doesn't eat meat.

Cordyceps now embodies both the sun and the moon, and is full just by basking in the moonlight, without eating meat. Similarly, the absurd clown that forms the spirit can simply bask in the stars.

As for Jetta, the little guy drank too much again.

Looking around, among this group of one person and seven pets, besides Bai Qi, only he and Gamma still need to eat.

"Transcend the constraints of the physical body? If you could do that, you'd probably be a legend."

Bai Qi wiped the grease from his mouth and said, "Speaking of which, haven't your Three Lives Towers fully merged yet? Shouldn't you try fusing them with the Egg of Evolution?"

"Not for now. With Wang Chen and the Dharma Emperor's insights on machinery and runes, I plan to redesign it."

Shuke shook his head, and Jerry opened his eyes and said, "Moreover, the three secret realms of the Three Lives Tower are separate. It would be better to find a large spiritual secret realm to house the Three Lives Tower."

"I see."

Bai Qi understood immediately. With guidance from two top experts in mechanics and runes, Shuke and his team indeed had a great chance to reach a higher level.

What they need most right now is even greater power.

"Then you should focus on your research and strive to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible. As for the spiritual realm..."

Bai Qi looked up at the rising sun and said, "In this era, resources are only more abundant than in later generations, right?"

The moment Delta awoke, Bai Qi had already determined that the era he was in was earlier than the French Empire's time, but Delta couldn't determine exactly how many years he had traveled through.

"Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's go see what humanity is like now."

……

Bai Qi appeared to be deep in the forest. It took him and his seven pets a long time to walk out of the forest.

"Such a large forest must harbor many ferocious beasts. I'm afraid there really is no human habitation around here."

Along the way, Bai Qi sensed the tracks of countless ferocious beasts, but they were all intimidated by the aura emanating from Alpha and dared not approach.

Even so, these ferocious beasts simply hung at a distance, showing no intention of leaving.

The ferocity of the beasts in this era far surpassed that of later generations!

Bulu bulu?

(Master, there seem to be signs of human activity over there. Should we go check it out?)

Delta suddenly opened her eyes, a silver candlelight flashed in her right eye, and an image appeared in front of Bai Qi.

"Delta, your spatial control is getting stronger and stronger."

Bai Qi glanced at Delta with admiration upon seeing this, and then began to examine it through the spatial passage that Delta had opened.

The image shows an ancient city wall, with a style that is half European and half Chinese, but one thing is certain.

Its defenses are extremely tight.

On the city wall, rows of giant crossbows made of pure metal were neatly arranged, aimed at various directions in the air.

Behind the giant crossbow was a row of soldiers gripping their bows tightly. Although they hadn't drawn their bows, their clenched arms clearly indicated that they were ready for battle.

Besides these, there were also numerous pet beasts, all of whom were equally on edge.

Even without any sound, Bai Qi could clearly feel the tension in such a scene.

"Could it be that some ferocious beast is about to attack the city? It doesn't look like it."

Bai Qi looked down at the city wall. The city gates were already open, and people were entering in an orderly manner under the guidance of the soldiers.

However, when passing through the gate, these humans would take out a document they carried with them and have it checked by the soldiers before they could enter.

"A travel permit? It seems this era hasn't been unified yet."

Bai Qi quickly assessed the current situation: although several great emperors had unified humanity throughout history, the world was mostly fragmented.

And the travel permit is only needed at this time.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

I was hoping to meet another human emperor, just like I did with my chance encounter with the French emperor. But looking at the current situation, the next human emperor is either dead or hasn't been born yet.

It's probably impossible to collect all the achievements of human emperors.

"But that's fine too, this way I don't have to worry about my identity attracting unnecessary attention."

Bai Qi glanced at the city in the image again, confirmed the direction, and then quietly left.
