Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 736 The Initial Concept of the Beast Tamer Association

"Bai Qi, do you also think this is a way to control pet beasts?"

Bai Wujie looked curiously at Zhang Youren, who had a sullen face and was helping Zhuge Chen take care of the cubs, and couldn't help but ask.

"Haven't you already fought Zhuge Chen? Highly intelligent supernatural beings all possess a complete sense of self-awareness. As long as they agree, nothing is impossible."

Bai Qi carefully carved the final stroke onto a pendant with his carving knife, then let out a heavy sigh of relief and said, "Finally finished! Little one, come and try it!"

"I am coming!"

Upon hearing Bai Qi's summons, Zhang Youren immediately put down his tools and ran to Bai Qi in a flash.

"Teacher Bai, that communication thing you mentioned... has it been completed with the mind communicator?"

Zhang Youren looked expectantly at the pendant in Bai Qi's hand, already guessing what it was.

"It's done."

Bai Qi hung the pendant on Zhang Youren and said, "Let's go, let's try it out and see how it works."

"Uh-huh."

Zhang Youren nodded excitedly, then ran to another cub and focused his spiritual energy on it, following the method taught by Bai Qi.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice entered Zhang Youren's mind. Being a child at heart, Zhang Youren immediately jumped up and started running wildly all over the yard.

"I can hear what the rabbit is saying!"

"This is amazing! I'm about to become the strongest beast tamer!"

"Hahaha..."

Zhang Youren's voice echoed throughout the courtyard, causing Bai Qi and the others to burst into laughter, but they did not stop him.

As early as when he decided to train Zhang Youren to become a Martial Emperor, Bai Qi had already tried using the Spirit Control Ball, but all attempts ended in failure.

But Bai Qi was not discouraged. He simply went back to square one and started by creating a tool that could help Zhang Youren communicate with his pet.

If Zhang Youren can form a strong bond with his pet, he might be able to create something similar to a bond seal.

"I didn't expect Bai Qini's rune technique to be so good, he could create such a treasure so easily."

Bai Wujie looked at Bai Qi with a smile and said, "How about it? Make one for me when you have some free time?"

"A treasure? This can only help him sense the subtle fluctuations of his pet's mind more accurately; it can't really be considered a treasure."

Bai Qi shook his head, gave Bai Wujie a disdainful look, and said, "Besides, with your strength, Brother Bai, what use would you have for something like this?"

"For what? To pay off debts, of course..."

Bai Wujie's face fell. He said, "I'm not like you. You first sold three Emperor cubs, then were hired by the Zhang family as a teacher, and now you have no worries about food or clothing. I have to think of a way to make money..."

"You talk as if you haven't sold any cubs lately."

Bai Qi grew even more disgusted upon hearing this, saying, "If I remember correctly, didn't you just sell a dozen or so armored piglets yesterday? Where's the money?"

"Cough cough... I just drank it all because I was happy."

Bai Wujie, feeling a little guilty, avoided Bai Qi's gaze. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Right, since you don't have anything to do today, why don't we go explore the Shadow Forest again and see if we can find some cubs or something?"

"To the Shadow Forest?"

Bai Qi paused, glanced at Zhang Youren who was once again pulled by Zhuge Chen to communicate with the pet cubs, and said, "Alright, go stretch your muscles."

He and Zhuge Chen have settled down here and are living a comfortable life, but no one can say for sure whether Deathwing will suddenly descend one day.

Considering that there are no powerful figures like the French Emperor in this era, he does indeed need to improve his strength as much as possible.

"Then let's hurry up and go!"

……

Double Shadow Forest.

Bai Qi, sitting on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc, looked at the rapidly flashing forest below and asked, "Brother Bai, are we heading deeper into the Shadow Forest?"

"Or what?"

Bai Wujie sighed and said, "Ever since the Zhang family announced the large-scale acquisition of cubs, beast tamers from cities around Huangsong City have all come here to capture ferocious beast cubs. There's basically no point in even thinking about the outer areas."

"Uh...that's so exaggerated..."

Bai Qi was somewhat surprised to hear this. Recently, Zhang Fugui had indeed sent in quite a few cubs, from servants to kings, all kinds of them.

But he never expected that Zhang Fugui would make such a big fuss for his son.

Is this what they mean by the boundless love and concern of parents?

"This was expected; after all, this business wouldn't harm the Zhang family."

Bai Wujie smiled and said, "Although ordinary people can't afford to raise cubs, some wealthy families still do it. Now that the Zhang family is taking the lead, there are plenty of people coming to buy them."

Goodness, they've already started doing business?

Bai Qi silently gave Zhang Fugui a thumbs up, and at the same time, he became more and more confident that Zhang Youren would become Emperor Wu.

If he remembered correctly, the practice of humans raising pet cubs on a large scale and training them through contracts also originated during the reign of Emperor Wu.

"Alright, we've arrived."

Just then, the Golden-Winged Roc suddenly stopped. Bai Wujie simply patted Bai Qi on the shoulder and then leaped off the Golden-Winged Roc's back, without any regard for the fact that they were hundreds of meters in the air.

"This physical condition... Bai Yuxiao's father's physique is indeed hereditary."

Seeing this, Bai Qi shook his head and also jumped down, landing steadily on the ground.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; he was too lazy to be pretentious.

"Hmm? This place has a strong shadow energy?"

As soon as Bai Qi landed, he sensed a strong shadow power and frowned.

"According to the landlady's information, there may be shadow-type creatures stationed here, so the shadow power is naturally more concentrated."

Bai Wujie sniffed the air and didn't smell the stench he expected, which eased his expression slightly.

"Thankfully, it doesn't look like an undead creature."

Seeing Bai Wujie's expression, Bai Qi immediately understood and said, "So, Brother Bai, you weren't actually here to capture cubs, but to carry out a mission?"

"Isn't this because I owe the bar money, and the only way to pay off the debt is by working?"

Bai Wujie chuckled sheepishly and said, "The proprietress said that as long as I complete this task, she'll waive the money I owed for drinks last time. Isn't that faster than slowly paying off the debt by catching cubs?"

"What about the money for the drinks from the time before last...?"

"Hmm...we'll talk about that next time..."

Bai Qi sighed, unsure how to even begin to criticize this guy, and began to survey his surroundings.

Just as he had sensed, the shadow energy here was extremely dense, so much so that even light could not travel very far.

If it weren't for the feedback from Alpha Dark Law, Bai Qi would probably be no different from someone who is blind.

However, for some reason, Bai Qi always felt that there was a gaze watching them.

The distance seems very close, yet very far...

"Let's hurry up and leave, it'll be even more troublesome here after dark."

Bai Wujie estimated the time, put away the Golden-Winged Roc, and strode into the darkness.

"It seems there's not much difference anymore."

Bai Qi shrugged and followed.

rustling...

Faint sounds kept coming from the surrounding darkness, and every now and then a few figures could be seen flashing past Bai Qi and the other person.

These are ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness, and naturally they have many ideas about these two flesh-and-blood creatures that have come to their doorstep.

Even without summoning any pets, the legendary aura emanating from Bai Qi and Bai Wujie was enough to make these ferocious beasts hesitate to act.

"You still won't come out?"

Bai Wujie narrowed his eyes and suddenly stopped.

"Still haven't found your target?"

Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but ask.

"I guess so. This guy is very cautious; he won't come out unless he's sure it's safe."

Bai Wujie nodded, then sat down on the ground and started eating two pieces of roasted meat.

"Don't tell me you're planning to lure your target out like this?"

"Otherwise what?"

Bai Qi's eye twitched as he looked at Bai Wujie, who had a blank expression, and silently summoned Gamma.

You can use food as bait, fine, but at least use two warm pieces. It's no wonder you can't attract any targets like this!

"Gamma, show him what real food is..."

Snap snap snap!

(Gamma understands!)

Having not been summoned by Bai Qi for a long time, Gamma was also a little bored. When Bai Qi asked him to show off his cooking skills, Gamma immediately became excited. Without saying a word, he pulled out a pig-shaped beast from the secret realm and skillfully began to cook it.

A moment later, a fragrant roasted pig appeared in front of Bai Wujie.

"Let pets cook... Wow, Bai Qi, your idea is absolutely brilliant!"

Bai Wujie smelled the aroma emanating from the roasted pig, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but give Bai Qi a thumbs up.

"It's just that you're too casual..."

Bai Qi gave Bai Wujie a disdainful look and said, "Besides, didn't you get the mission from the landlady? Didn't she give you any hints so you could prepare in advance?"

"You're overthinking it. Most of the missions posted at the bar only have one objective. Lan Xiaoyu will determine the difficulty based on the objective and then post it on the mission board on the first floor, but we'll have to find the specific information ourselves."

Bai Wujie shook his head and said, "If the reward for this mission hadn't been high enough, Lan Xiaoyu wouldn't have taken it on herself."

"So chaotic?"

Bai Qi frowned slightly. In later generations, the Beast Tamer Association would generally investigate the mission, make a reasonable assessment, and then determine the mission's reward based on that assessment.

This not only allows for the rational allocation of personnel but also maximizes the task completion rate.

If it were like Bai Wujie and his group, a large number of people would probably die before the mission was even completed.

No, I really can't stand it anymore.

Bai Qi pondered for a moment, then suddenly his expression turned serious, and he said, "Brother Bai, have you ever considered forming a civilian beast tamer organization?"

"You don't need to do anything else, just take charge of tasks that only beast tamers can perform."

Hearing Bai Qi's words, Bai Wujie was somewhat puzzled and said, "Isn't this the same thing we're doing right now? Is there a difference?"

"Of course there's a difference."

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "At least there should be a professional task assessment system..."
