Beast Tamer: I'm invincible because I can see the evolution path!

Chapter 122 A Sympathetic Bond Between Chuunibyou? Qiao Bai: No! I refuse!

Over there, Old Master Huo chuckled at Qiao Bai, then turned and rolled his eyes at the Dragon King Altera: "Don't you like to rest? Go back to resting!"

Don't cause trouble just before he learns the details!

Alter Dragon King: "..."

Wronged.

But I dare not say it.

The little white snake hid in Qiao Bai's collar, its golden eyes wide open with the fearlessness of a newborn calf, staring intently in the direction of Altron with its large, eyelidless eyes.

Altron, noticing the little white snake staring at him: "..."

shame.

That's so embarrassing.

Altron shifted his gaze from Jobe to the little creature.

Upon discovering this, Qiao Bai silently reached out and pressed the little white snake's head down, but the snake pushed its head back out on its own. Qiao Bai then pressed it down again...

"Professor Qiao Bai, you still haven't told me why Longya refused to evolve." Seeing this, Old Master Huo's lips twitched, but he finally decided to pretend he hadn't seen anything and went straight to the point.

Since the little white snake wasn't cooperating, Qiao Bai just let it be.

Perhaps the little white snake will become even bolder if it is stared at by Altron.

"Tell me more... The prerequisites for the evolution of the Altera Dragon King should involve you, sir." Qiao Bai said calmly without even frowning.

"It involves me? Does it require my cooperation?" Old Master Huo asked, puzzled. He glanced back at Altron, his eyes full of confusion. "If you need my help, I'd agree without hesitation if Dragon Fang just asked! What's there to refuse!"

"Could it be..." Old Master Huo paused for a moment, but the most crucial clue was still missing from his mind.

"I'll die," Qiao Bai said.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

They all looked at Qiao Bai with shocked expressions.

Even the Alter Dragon King, who had been glaring at Qiao Bai, withdrew its gaze, curled up into a huge dragon pancake again, and peacefully curled up on the ground with its head on its belly and its tail... well, its tail was still tightly held in Huo Xiaotian's arms and couldn't be pulled back at all.

"Who will die?" After a long silence, it was finally Old Master Huo, one of the parties involved, who asked the question.

He leaned on his cane and quietly looked in Qiao Bai's direction.

Qiao Bai's gaze fell on the Altera Dragon King, whose tail was being tightly held by Huo Xiaotian.

[Pet: Altera (King Attribute)]

[Attribute: Dragon]

【Variety: High-end and Advanced】

[Level: High-level 7]

[Skills: Dragon Roar, Dragon's Roar, ... Dragon Dance, Dragon God's Dive, Dragon Dance Burst Wave]

[Can be evolved*]

[Bloodline: Unawakened]

[Talent Skill: Not Awakened]

[Evolutionary Path: Altera → Argendragon]

Evolutionary method:

The prerequisites have been achieved.

Uncontracted Altera: Challenge and defeat all Dragon Kings within the designated area.

Contract Altron: Sever Affinity (Affinity 0/2, Binding Link 0/1)

Alteras that meet the evolutionary requirements will automatically receive the corresponding evolutionary inheritance.

[Instinct buff: When the evolution conditions are met, the Altera will enter a berserk state, and its bloodline and innate skills will be about to awaken. Instinct will urge the individual to evolve into a stronger Dragon King form. The buff will be removed upon evolution or death.]

Qiao Bai's expression was blank upon seeing this evolutionary pattern.

Therefore, Qiao Bai hesitated to step forward. He was studying and pondering... Severing Fate, upon careful understanding, means letting the Dragon King devour its master, right?

The more Qiao Bai thought about it, the more he felt that this was exactly what it meant.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Not only does it devour its master, but it also murders its relatives. Moreover, because the prerequisite has been met, it has gained an additional instinctive buff, leaving Altera no room to resist what follows.

Evolve or die.

pick one of two.

Mr. Huo's Altron decisively chose the latter between the two.

death.

It resisted following Old Master Huo, refusing to eat and refuse to leave with him. The dragon stubbornly remained in Dragon Valley, using its weakened state to suppress the negative effects of the buff, fearing that it might accidentally hurt Old Master Huo, Old Master Huo's family, and its own family.

Altron's previously uncontrollable temper has become understandable.

It was not intentional.

I simply couldn't control myself.

"Evolve, and you'll die, old man. Don't evolve, and Altera will die," Qiao Bai sighed.

A gentle breeze blew by, and no one spoke after Qiao Bai finished speaking.

Shock.

Horrified.

incredible.

I want to ask questions.

This sounds absolutely amazing... but... but...

Everyone looked at Altron, who had buried his head in his stomach. Just by looking at his lifeless figure, it was clear that Qiao Bai was not making things up or exaggerating.

They do have that kind of judgment.

That's why everyone became even more silent.

"The bloodlines of dragon-attribute extraordinary creatures have always been the most special. After your Alter Dragon met the evolution requirements, its bloodline awakened to a certain extent, allowing it to inherit evolution and understand how to evolve to become stronger." Qiao Bai mixed truth and falsehood together, combining knowledge from books with the current situation of the Alter Dragon, to weave a statement that was flawless and would not arouse suspicion.

"I'm not sure what form Altera will take after evolving, but the most likely one... would be the Dragon King."

Dragon King.

Unlike extraordinary beings who possess the attributes of a king.

Extraordinary beings possessing the attribute of kingship only have the potential to become kings and can, to a certain extent, intimidate other extraordinary beings of the same species.

The Dragon King is the true king among dragon-attribute extraordinary beings, and can even command the entire dragon-attribute extraordinary species in the absence of other kings.

The birth of the Dragon King is difficult.

Dragon-attribute extraordinary creatures that become dragon kings do not necessarily expand into the human world. Most of them expand their territory in forbidden lands and establish their own dragon domains.

Wanlong is convinced.

Keep out of reach of living people.

In past beast tides, there has only been one instance of the Dragon King participating in the battle.

The overwhelming attacks from dragon-type supernatural creatures... even now, thinking back on it, it's still a nightmare.

Fortunately, among the human beast tamers at that time, there was also a dragon king as a pet beast.

That beast tide did not become a one-sided event, thus avoiding the most spectacular beast tide of a thousand years ago.

Ms. Lin mentioned the Dragon King: "As far as I know, when the Flame Dragon evolved into the Flame Dragon King 518 years ago, it didn't have such an outrageous demand that the Beast Tamer die... cough, such an unreasonable request."

"Humans have coexisted with extraordinary beings for 1,200 years, and even now there are still more than half of these extraordinary beings that we haven't fully understood. Unknown evolutionary paths, unknown abilities—aren't these common?" Qiao Bai said calmly, "Not to mention dragon-attribute extraordinary beings."

"There are few beast tamers who can form contracts with dragon-attribute pets."

"There aren't many professors of pet evolution who have had the opportunity to study dragon-type extraordinary creatures and have achieved results."

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible that Altera had a unique evolutionary path and requirements.

Old Master Huo fell silent.

"I... Dragon Fang wants to evolve. What are the specific requirements? Kill me with your own hands?" Old Master Huo stared intently in Qiao Bai's direction and asked, "Is it because the contract between me and Dragon Fang is a constraint for a supernatural creature like the Altera?"

Old Master Huo guessed most of it.

"I'm not too sure about the specifics either," Qiao Bai shook his head.

Just mention the key points.

Revealing everything else would be far too shocking.

Qiao Bai turned to look in Altron's direction: "Or, old man, you can ask Altron himself. He should be able to tell you anything by now."

Although he had his head buried in his stomach, Altron heard everything clearly in the conversation between Qiao Bai and Old Master Huo: "..."

I am a real dragon.

You human are truly a dog too.

Is this a matter of communication?

It simply doesn't want to communicate, which is why it's lying here waiting to die!

Altron wished he could pounce on Joe and fight him right away.

But neither Huo Xiaotian, nor Old Master Huo, nor Huo Batian, who was walking towards Altron, gave it that chance.

Three generations of the family surrounded Altron.

Huo Batian and Huo Xiaotian stared silently at Altron, using their eyes to put pressure on Altron's conscience.

Compared to Qiao Bai, Altron was far more conscientious: "..."

silence.

Silence again.

Art realized for the first time that one cannot be too conscientious when being a dragon!

Just feeling the reproachful gazes of Huo Batian and Huo Xiaotian falling on it, Altera felt its scales begin to itch layer by layer—these were children it had personally raised (×) and cared for, and looking at it with such eyes, Altera simply couldn't handle it!

"Old friend, I think we need to have a serious talk this time." Old Master Huo walked over to Altron, leaning on his cane.

His wrinkled hands, as if made of only a layer of skin, gently landed on Altron's body.

According to Altron, the hand was smaller than one of its scales and theoretically could not cause it any harm.

But Altron felt a peculiar itch and pain spreading to other parts of his body, starting from the spot where Old Master Huo's palm touched his dragon scales.

"roar……"

Old man...

Holtron tilted his head, revealing a huge dragon eye, and stared intently at Old Master Holtron.

Old Mr. Huo, who was already used to Altron, was not frightened at all. He simply looked at his old friend quietly.

"Professor Qiao Bai was telling the truth just now, wasn't he?" Old Master Huo chuckled. Combining what Qiao Bai said with Altron's behavior over the past month, he had almost guessed the truth: "Your evolution started and couldn't be stopped. Between killing me and dying yourself, you chose to die yourself."

Altron remained quiet.

Not denying Mr. Huo's words is tantamount to acknowledging them.

"Did you ask me before you did this?" Old Master Huo raised his hand and gently slapped Altron.

It's not that I don't want to put in the effort.

It's really... impossible to break through Altron's defenses.

If you use too much force, you'll end up with your own hand in the end.

It's better to go easy on them; just convey the meaning.

Altron indeed cooperated by lowering his head and letting out a soft sound that seemed to be a cry of pain.

Beastmaster, you're too violent.

Altron's brows furrowed slightly, as if he were frowning, expressing his grievance.

However, in the eyes of Qiao Bai, Zou Tang, Qiu Cheng, and others standing nearby...

Yep.

I couldn't see any sign of resentment on their part.

It is indeed quite scary.

That look in his eyes... it's like Altron is about to launch an attack at any moment, touching?

No, no.

I didn't dare to move at all.

That look was incredibly threatening.

obviously.

Not only did these humans feel that the look was threatening, but the two pet beasts in Qiao Bai's arms also felt that the look was provoking them.

Little Wu: Huffing and puffing.jpg

Catbug: puffing up.jpg

We can't beat them.

I dare not go.

Otherwise, they would definitely teach this big guy a lesson.

The little white snake coiled around Qiao Bai's collar: "?"

The little white snake looked at the identical expressions of the little crow and the cat-like insect with puzzlement, and then it understood.

Little white snake: huffing and puffing.jpg

The main focus is on integrating into the family.

Qiao Bai, who happened to see this scene while looking down, was speechless.

He reached out again and pressed the little white snake's head inside his collar: "You should go to sleep."

This kind of scene is not suitable for children.

I always feel that watching too much of this will lead me astray.

Little White Snake: OvO

The little white snake peeked out cautiously.

What?

Beastmasters don't allow people to watch openly?

It's okay.

Then watch it secretly.

The little white snake's every move was under Qiao Bai's control. Observing the little white snake's actions, Qiao Bai was speechless.

Learning it well is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

They quickly went astray.

You don't even need to learn it; you'll learn it just by watching it a couple of times.

Qiao Bai sighed.

Upon hearing Qiao Bai's sigh, Qiu Cheng subconsciously looked in Qiao Bai's direction and saw Qiao Bai playing with a pet.

Qiu Cheng: "?"

No?

Are young people these days so calm?

Ever since he heard that Altera might be able to evolve into a true Dragon King, and about the stringent conditions for this evolution, Qiu Cheng had been filled with excitement.

Dragon King!

That's the Dragon King!

Among human beast tamers, there is only one who truly possesses a dragon king-level pet beast, and that is the Flame Dragon King beast tamer that Ms. Lin mentioned earlier.

A dragon king-level pet can bring enormous benefits and convenience to humans during a beast tide.

If another Dragon King-level Beast Tamer were to appear in this era, within a hundred years... well, looking at Old Master Huo's age, within ten years, there would be no need to worry about any beast tide problems.

Then Qiu Cheng thought of Altero's utterly morbid evolutionary process and let out a long sigh.

"It's a master-devouring beast... No wonder no Altera has ever evolved into a Dragon King. Who could have imagined such evolutionary conditions?" Qiu Cheng said softly, shaking his head with a pained and helpless expression. "Most Beast Tamers and their pets have a very deep bond. After a Beast Tamer dies, those pets will never return to the ranks of wild supernatural creatures. They would rather die than attack humans."

"Not to mention, personally devouring its master while the beast tamer is still alive..."

Hey.

Qiu Cheng shook his head.

Alteras can no longer evolve.

And... Qiu Cheng looked in the direction of Altron with a sorrowful gaze, knowing that Old Master Huo's Altron probably wouldn't survive.

"Yes, this kind of evolution is really..." Ms. Lin nodded in agreement, but stopped halfway through her sentence and continued, "You have to contract with a beast tamer, and then kill the beast tamer with your own hands. It's not so hard to understand if Altera really has an undiscovered evolutionary form."

"Wild Altera cannot meet the conditions for evolution, and Altera that has been contracted would rather die than harm its Beastmaster."

He sighed deeply.

Feeling emotional.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"Wait a minute?" Qiao Bai paused for a moment. "Who said wild, uncontracted Alteras can't evolve?"

In unison.

All eyes were once again focused on Qiao Bai.

Even the old man Huo and Altron, who were talking at the time, both turned their gazes toward Qiao Bai.

"Professor Qiao Bai, what do you mean by that?"

"Professor Qiao Bai, do you have any thoughts?"

"Roar—?"

Are there other ways to evolve?

Qiao Bai let go, and Xiao Wu flapped its wings and flew behind Qiao Bai. He took a few steps forward and walked to Altron's side.

Seeing Qiao Bai's actions, Old Master Huo very considerately made room for Qiao Bai.

"Hmm...theoretically speaking, it should exist." Qiao Bai calmly reached out and touched Altera's tail and limbs. Altera, which had been acting very irritable and resistant before, didn't dare to move. Without even having Grandpa Huo say anything, it obediently let Qiao Bai touch it as he pleased.

Amid the expectant gazes of the others, Qiao Bai went up and down, even climbing onto Altron's body, touching every part he wanted to touch.

Altron, who had been suppressing his anger and letting Qiao Bai masturbate him, was speechless.

"Roar—"

Humanity!

That's about enough!

Tell me quickly after you're done touching me!

What other methods are there for evolution!

Before Qiao Bai could even speak, Altron was slapped on the face by Old Master Huo: "Aren't you quite capable? You can go over a month without eating, drinking, or moving, so what's wrong with Professor Qiao Bai touching you?"

"Just you wait quietly."

After saying that, Old Master Huo looked up at Qiao Bai, who was standing on Altera's back, and gave him a fawning smile: "Professor Qiao Bai, would you like to touch it again? It's alright, touch it as much as you want! I guarantee the dragon's teeth won't dare to get angry!"

Altron: "..."

Huo Xiaotian couldn't help but chuckle.

Holtron can't deal with Old Master Huo, and he certainly can't touch Qiao Bai now, but dealing with Huo Xiaotian is a piece of cake.

With a flick of its tail, Altera precisely and effortlessly shook Huo Xiaotian off its tail and onto the grass. With a gentle push from the tip of its tail, Huo Xiaotian was forced to roll several times on the ground.

Huo Xiaotian, instantly covered in dirt and weeds, was speechless.

"You only pick on the softest persimmons, don't you?" Huo Xiaotian looked at Altron with a complicated expression.

Altron breathed heavily through his nose with an air of self-righteousness.

Humph.

if not?

Why pick on the weak and not the soft ones?

What a joke.

Huo Xiaotian was even angrier.

But they had no way to deal with Altron.

Altron: Ha.

Loving your child is one thing.

The fact that the kid needs to be disciplined is another matter entirely!

Having thoroughly enjoyed himself, Qiao Bai jumped off Altron. He turned to look at Old Master Huo, a serious expression on his face, and said, "I have ideas, but I can't guarantee anything."

"I suggest you give it a try."

This isn't just something Qiao Bai said offhand; it's indeed an idea that can't be guaranteed.

"It's alright, Professor Qiao Bai, we're listening." Old Master Huo didn't seem to care about the uncertainty in Qiao Bai's words: "Even if Dragon Fang can't evolve in the end, it doesn't matter. I just hope... I just hope..."

Altron survived.

They all survived.

There is no need to choose between death and rebirth.

Moreover, if Altron could even accept death, why couldn't he try other methods, no matter how dangerous or uncertain they were?

"My idea is that since wild dragon kings exist, it means that wild dragon-attribute extraordinary creatures can evolve into dragon kings. Theoretically speaking, wild Alteras should also have such an evolutionary path, but it just hasn't been discovered yet."

"Your Altera inherited the evolutionary path of an Altera as a pet, but that doesn't mean it can't try to evolve like a wild Altera."

This is a bit convoluted.

But Old Master Huo immediately understood what he meant.

Old Master Huo's eyes lit up instantly.

Altron's eyes lit up instantly.

hmmmm?

Is it still possible to do this?

"I'm not sure," Qiao Bai said bluntly, spreading his hands.

"After all, theoretically speaking, extraordinary beings themselves don't know their own evolutionary path; it's all been discovered by humans bit by bit. Altron received the inheritance, but we can also help Altron discover other ways of evolution." Qiao Bai's words instantly rekindled Old Master Huo's confidence.

"Excellent, excellent!" Old Master Huo's face was full of joy. "This is truly wonderful news!"

"Wait a minute." Before Old Master Huo could get any happier, Ms. Lin, who was not far away, interrupted his joy. She frowned and said softly, "That makes sense, but there are two problems."

"First, did wild Alteras really have an evolutionary path?"

"Second, yes, what is this evolutionary path? What is the evolutionary method? If we start researching now, how long will it take to find out?" Ms. Lin's words ruthlessly revealed the cruel reality: "Will Grandpa Huo's Altera research yield results?"

Altron barely managed to fight off his instinct buff by starving himself.

Altron will gradually weaken.

But if Altron regains his composure... will he really be able to control himself well?

Upon hearing Ms. Lin's words, the smile on Mr. Huo's face vanished once again.

Although it sounds a bit harsh.

But I have to admit... that makes sense, that statement makes a lot of sense.

Will his Altron really last until then?

"Well... I already said I have an idea, and we can try it out now." Qiao Bai's words pulled Old Master Huo back from the brink of despair.

Qiu Cheng frowned and looked at Qiao Bai: "Professor Qiao Bai..."

He wanted to refute Qiao Bai, but when he thought about how Qiao Bai had accurately pinpointed Altron's problem, he didn't know what to say.

...I always felt that if I said the wrong thing, I would be proven wrong by Qiao Bai in the next second.

After thinking about it, Qiu Cheng silently shut his mouth.

"Go ahead and tell us!" Zou Tang chimed in, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Qiao Bai. "Grandpa Huo has his own judgment. He can tell whether what Brother Qiao says is reliable or not!"

"Let's hear what Brother Qiao has to say first!"

Old Master Huo nodded, confirming that this was indeed the case.

"I'm just speculating. We can try it, and if it doesn't work, we can try another method," Qiao Bai said. "Instead of lying around waiting for two months, why not cooperate with me in the last two months and give it a shot? Maybe it will work?"

"Even if it doesn't work out..." Qiao Bai's gaze shifted from Old Master Huo and Altron to Huo Batian and Huo Xiaotian.

Qiao Bai didn't say anything, but everyone present understood the unspoken meaning behind his words.

If Mr. Huo's Altera evolution really failed, then the two months of collaborative research will not have been in vain.

Huo Batian and Huo Xiaotian will be able to use them sooner or later.

Old Master Huo smiled.

"good!"

"Give it a shot!"

"If it really doesn't work out in the end..." Old Master Huo's eyes held a certain firmness: "I'm so old, I've actually lived long enough."

"roar--"

Upon hearing this, Altron nudged Old Master Huo's waist with his large head.

"Dragon Fang!" Old Master Huo angrily put one hand on his waist, almost falling over from the force of the blow.

"Hmph—" Altron ignored Old Master Huo's angry rebuke.

Old man, don't overthink it!

Even if you die, it won't make a difference!

Altron, ready to give it another shot, didn't hold back and immediately launched an attack.

wanna die?

Dream it.

You really think the dragon can kill you?

That's impossible!

If it were just you, the dragon might actually do it after some consideration!

So don't overthink it!

Old Master Huo: "..."

Grandpa Huo and Altron exchanged glances for a few seconds, then turned to look at Qiao Bai together: "Professor Qiao Bai, you tell us your ideas, and we'll carry them out."

Qiao Bai smiled slightly.

well.

They fooled me.

When Qiao Bai saw Altron's string of ten or twenty skills, three-quarters of which were dragon-type, his eyes lit up.

薅！

We absolutely have to get our hands on this!

Otherwise, I would be letting myself down.

It won't be easy to encounter such a suitable dragon-type supernatural creature again.

"Judging from the way Altera evolved... I think the key lies in power and restraint." Qiao Bai immediately launched into his persuasive tactics. He wasn't entirely sure himself, but he had to give it a try. He would be truly heartbroken if this opportunity slipped through his fingers: "Because you, Grandpa Huo, made a contract with Altera, the focus of your evolution became restraint."

"But what about Altron, which has no inherent constraints? The focus then naturally becomes its power."

"Altron must prove its strength."

Old Master Huo frowned: "Prove...power?"

"Does this need proof? Can strength even be proven?" Huo Xiaotian, who had gotten up from the grass and patted himself clean, came over and said, incomprehensibly, "Isn't strength just strength?"

"No, strength is determined by comparison." Old Master Huo, Huo Xiaotian, Qiu Cheng, and Zou Tang all looked bewildered, except for Huo Batian, who crossed his arms and said with a knowing expression, "Fighting, battling, and winning against stronger opponents proves you're stronger than them—that's proof of strength!"

As he spoke, Huo Batian's gaze fell on Qiao Bai, filled with burning heat and joy.

good good!

He truly is his destined rival!

Even their ideas about power are the same as his!

It seems Qiao Bai thinks the same way he does!

There is bound to be an earth-shattering battle between them!

Qiao Bai, who was being targeted: "?"

Qiao Bai gave the other person a look of incomprehension.

No?

What does it mean to look at him like that?

pity.

The two people are not on the same wavelength.

Huo Batian had already imagined Qiao Bai in his mental world as someone with a similar level of adolescent delusions.

Qiao Bai decisively ignored Huo Batian's burning gaze and nodded to Old Master Huo: "That's roughly the idea, to challenge an even stronger opponent—the Dragon King."

"Altron is afraid that the violent energy will hurt you, so why not find a more suitable target to unleash the violent power?" Qiao Bai said calmly, as if letting Altron challenge the Dragon King was an ordinary, commonplace thing, and not strange at all.

Grandpa Huo and Altron: "..."

The man and the dragon exchanged a glance, and they really wanted to say: You think too highly of them! You think far too highly of them!

Challenge the Dragon King?

Now?

No?

The difference between an ordinary, unevolved dragon-type superhuman creature and a dragon king... is not small at all!

"This is the only method I can think of." Qiao Bai didn't care about the shock of Old Master Huo and Altron. He said calmly, "Destruction before construction, no destruction, no construction, that's probably what it means."

"Moreover..." Qiao Bai's gaze fell on Altera again: "Altera is currently stuck at an evolutionary juncture. One step forward is the Dragon King, one step back is death. Its physical instincts may make it less afraid when facing the Dragon King."

Qiao Bai's tone was not very certain.

But this instinct buff... it must be useful, right?

You have to try it, whether it works or not!

"Okay!" Old Master Huo readily agreed.

He took a deep breath, his expression somewhat heavy. Challenging the Dragon King... it did indeed sound a bit too crazy and extremely crazy.

But as Qiao Bai said.

One step forward is the Dragon King, one step back is death.

So what's there to be afraid of?

I'm not even afraid of death anymore.

Are we afraid of a mere Dragon King?

Just do it!

Qiao Bai gave Old Master Huo a thumbs up: "That's right, just go for it!"

"Then let's go back first and study which Dragon King we should challenge." Old Master Huo leaned on his cane, a thoughtful expression on his face. "There are only three wild Dragon Kings in our country, and they are all recorded. Let's study carefully which one is the easiest to deal with, and then we'll go challenge that one..."

Before Old Master Huo could finish speaking, Qiao Bai paused for a moment.

Huo Xiaotian, who had been watching Qiao Bai closely, moved closer to him and asked, "Brother Qiao, have you thought of something again?"

Huo Xiaotian looked at Qiao Bai with bright, sparkling eyes, filled with admiration.

Awesome!

As expected of Brother Qiao!

Any problem related to pets, no matter how difficult, can be easily solved by Brother Qiao!

Old Master Huo, who was deep in thought, also looked in Qiao Bai's direction.

"Um..." Qiao Bai gave Old Master Huo an awkward but polite smile.

Old Master Huo's eyelids twitched violently, and he quickly pressed his hands to cover his eyelids: "Professor Qiao Bai, do you... have anything else to say?"

"Yes." Qiao Bai nodded: "I mean, is it possible for you not to choose which one to fight, but to fight all three?"

Qiao Bai's smile looked like a devil's smile to Old Master Huo.

The last stiff smile on Old Master Huo's face vanished completely, and his hands, gripping his cane, trembled violently.

What?

What did you say?

"I feel a little dizzy," Old Master Huo said, rubbing his forehead. "I think I haven't slept well."

Otherwise, why would I hear such horrific news!

Qiao Bai smiled.

"Dad, stop running away. It's like what you heard, you have to fight every single Dragon King." Huo Batian chimed in, stabbing his father in the back: "Actually, I'm quite interested... fighting the Dragon Kings..."

Huo Batian's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Already facing a headache, Mr. Huo was further troubled by his son's sabotage: "..."

A surge of anger erupted, and he slapped Huo Batian on the head.

"Shut up!" With a roar, Old Master Huo finally vented his anger. He turned and glared fiercely at Altron: "Dragon Fang, let's go! Now let's study the tactics properly!"

"They're just three dragon kings!"

"Watch us smash them to pieces!"

"Roar—!"

Altron followed behind Old Master Huo with a sullen air, responding to Old Master Huo's words with great energy.

Yeah.

Blow it up! Blow it up!

Blow them all up!

Dragon cooperation!

Dragon guarantees cooperation!

The long-forgotten background figures, Qiu Cheng and Ms. Lin: "..."

The situation changed so quickly that they didn't even have a chance to speak.

and……

Seeing that the dejected old man Huo and Altron had perked up, the two of them didn't know what to say.

As for the idea of ​​"beating up the Dragon King"... they didn't really take it to heart.

Is the Dragon King so easy to defeat?

……

The things that Grandpa Huo is about to do are things that ordinary people can't help with.

Qiu Cheng and Ms. Lin naturally couldn't stay, and the two of them left first.

Zou Tang stayed a few more days, but the college entrance examination results were about to be released, and he had to go back to fill out his college application, so he had to leave first.

To better monitor Old Master Huo's condition, Qiao Bai temporarily stayed at the Huo family's residence.

In the end, only Qiao Bai and Huo Xiaotian were left.

Oh.

There's also Huo Batian, who occasionally pops out from who-knows-where.

Although Qiao Bai didn't say it, he was indeed somewhat avoiding Huo Batian... The reason was that Huo Batian's gaze made him feel uneasy, and Qiao Bai didn't want to know what kind of image he had in Huo Batian's heart.

"Don't mind my dad, just treat him like a portable potted plant." Huo Xiaotian understood Qiao Bai's feelings very well. He patted Qiao Bai's shoulder and said in a sympathetic tone.

Qiao Bai: "..."

well.

I had already sensed that this family might not be in a normal mental state.

"I wonder how Grandpa and Dragon Father are doing." As he spoke, Huo Xiaotian began to sigh, "Three Dragon Kings... We have to challenge them all..."

"Flame Dragon King, Bone Dragon King, and what is the other Dragon King?" Qiao Bai asked.

Qiao Bai had wanted to ask about this when he heard Grandpa Huo mention it before.

Qiao Bai only knew of two Dragon Kings from the books. One was the Flame Dragon King, left behind by the beast tamer more than 500 years ago. After the beast tamer died, the Flame Dragon King returned to the forbidden land and did not actively approach the human world. When a beast tide came, it would take the initiative to help, but no human could get close to it.

Then there's the Bone Dragon King.

When Qiao Bai heard this name, the first thing that came to mind was a skeleton, and he thought it was some kind of strange undead creature.

But in fact, it's not.

Except for its long, whip-shaped tail, the Bone Dragon King has flesh and blood on every other part of its body.

The "bone" in Bone Dragon comes from the weapon of this extraordinary creature, which is quite a complicated and unpredictable extraordinary creature.

The last one...

"Oh, oh, oh!" Hearing Qiao Bai's question, Huo Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Brother Qiao, it's normal that you don't know. The last Dragon King is... a bit special."

Huo Xiaotian nodded as he spoke.

special.

Before Qiao Bai could ask, Huo Xiaotian continued, "The Polycrystalline Black Dragon King is the only one of the three Dragon Kings that is not a pure dragon."

Qiao Bai was somewhat puzzled.

"Not pure dragon attribute? That doesn't seem right."

Dragon King, Dragon King.

It must be a pure dragon attribute.

Thinking of this, Qiao Bai glanced at the little white snake that was fast asleep and wrapped around his wrist.

Hmm... speaking of which, the little white snake is no longer a dragon, but a water.

However, judging from the evolutionary path of the little white snake, it should gradually evolve from a jiao (a type of dragon) to a dragon. Its biological characteristics should evolve from snake to dragon, and its attributes should also change accordingly, from water attribute to dragon attribute.

After all, the final evolved form is the [Silver Dragon King].

Only those with pure dragon attributes can become the Dragon King.

What's the deal with this polycrystalline black dragon king?

"The Polycrystalline Black Dragon King is a mutated dragon king. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but it is definitely not a pure dragon attribute. Instead, it has dragon, dark, and light attributes, making it the only known supernatural being that possesses all three attributes at the same time."

Huo Xiaotian said with a sigh, "Three attributes!"

"I can't even imagine how happy I would be if I could have a pet with three different attributes!"

Qiao Bai: "..."

This one.

Qiao Bai glanced at the cat-like insects leaping and bounding around the Huo family's courtyard and the little black bird darting up and down, and remained silent for a moment.

Three attributes are actually quite common, right?

Huo Xiaotian: "?"
