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

Chapter 183 Where's the mountain? Where's my huge mountain?! A self-reproducing swamp monster?

Xiao Wu: ╭(╯^╰)╮!

Little Wu silently stared at the other three birds.

He was secretly plotting something.

This one is bigger than a bird.

This has more feathers than a bird.

This one looks so annoying.

No.

Be patient.

hateful!

Little Wu: Huffing and puffing.jpg

Jun Du, who noticed the subtle movements of the people in front of him, was speechless.

Jundu looked at Qiao Bai, then at the guys walking at the front, his eyes filled with so much doubt that it was almost palpable.

"cough."

Jundu wasn't sure what was going on either, so he coughed lightly as a gesture.

Swish.

The three beast tamers immediately withdrew their gazes, which had been secretly observing Qiao Bai and Xiao Wu.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Qiao Bai felt a rare pang of guilt.

Yep.

Jundu had no idea what was going on, and the three beast tamers in front of him must have been quite puzzled as well, wondering what was wrong with their own pets.

Qiao Bai was perfectly aware of Xiao Wu's thoughts and naturally knew the state of the Black Golden Roc/Bird of Paradise/Qi Luan that Xiao Wu was watching.

Hey.

Qiao Bai could only try to comfort Xiao Wu.

Calm down, calm down.

We need to stay calm.

You can't chase after someone like crazy.

Keep your gaze a little lower.

Little Wu is the most beautiful!

Qiao Bai firmly conveyed this message to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu: o(^｀）o

The little bird flapped its wings vigorously twice.

Then another feather drifted down.

Qiao Bai swiftly caught the feather that had fallen from the little bird and quickly put it into his pocket.

However, it was still too late.

Little Wu has already seen it.

The little bird, having discovered it had lost another feather, would have gone completely mad on the spot if it weren't for the fact that it wouldn't be appropriate to do so in the present situation.

Why!

That means why!

It's falling! ...

If it falls any further, the bird will become a featherless bird!

I'm bald!

ugly!

Just as Qiao Bai had calmed Xiao Wu down a little, a powerful aura erupted from him once again, and his big golden-red eyes were fixed on the Bird of Paradise and Qi Luan in front of him.

Because of its large size and less attractive appearance, the Black Golden Roc was very lucky to escape death.

The Bird of Paradise and Qi Luan, who were targeted: QAQ

Help! Help! Help! Help!

It feels like their fur is about to be stripped bare by their gaze from afar!

The beast tamers of the Bird of Paradise and the Qi Luan were also suffering greatly.

Especially the beast tamers of the Bird of Paradise.

After all, among the three birds, the bird of paradise, with its fluffy feathers that resemble clouds and cotton candy, is the true target of Little Crow's Death Gaze.

"Um... Professor Qiao Bai, um... could you please control yourself a little...?" Unable to hold back, the Beastmaster of the Bird of Paradise hesitated and stammered.

Qiao Bai: "Ahem."

"I see."

Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu: Little Ancestor, why don't you go back and stay there?

Xiao Wu: ╭（╯＾╰）╮

very angry.

But I don't want a bird to return to the Spiritual Sea Beast Taming Space all alone.

Just be patient.

The three birds in front could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the other seventh-tier beast tamers around them finally realized that something seemed to have happened without their knowledge.

Their gazes were mainly fixed on Qiao Bai and the Beastmaster of the Bird of Paradise.

then……

They looked at Qiao Bai's bird, Little Crow, and to the naked eye, it didn't seem to have anything particularly special about it.

The only thing that piques curiosity is the species of the little bird.

But judging from the appearance of the Bird of Paradise Beast Tamer, it seems that Professor Qiao Bai's bird is very powerful.

Is it possible that even a pet beast of the eighth rank in strength is wary of it?

For a time, both the beast tamers of Flying Cloud Tiger and Electrode Thunder Cat were filled with curiosity about Qiao Bai.

The only person who wasn't curious at all was Fu Han.

She even felt it was somewhat natural.

Ouch.

Could a pet that can trigger alarms from her innate skills be an ordinary pet?

Fu Han muttered to himself quietly.

At this moment, she finally understood those netizens who spread rumors.

The reason is that Qiao Bai's pet beast displayed such great power that, if it weren't for the new species born in the laboratory, it would have been easy to undermine the confidence of other beast tamers.

How can the differences between people be so great?

After a period of vigilance, irritation, and a new understanding of Qiao Bai, the group finally arrived at the coordinates of the mountain provided by the Red Earth Exploration Team, hidden in the mist.

Immediately afterwards, all eight people fell silent.

"Are you sure this is the right place?"

Cointreau stood at the very back, arms crossed, brows slightly furrowed, his face bearing an indescribable expression of suspicion.

"This is the right place." Having confirmed the left side and obtained the coordinates from A-Yong and A-Yun, Qiao Bai nodded in confirmation.

They didn't go to the wrong place.

and so……

"Where's the mountain?"

Jundu believed Qiao Bai's words.

As a professor specializing in pet animals, Qiao Bai was bound to face more dangers coming in with them, so it was perfectly normal for him to check the situation in advance.

But the problem now is...

They were standing at the theoretically correct coordinates, but in front of them was nothing but emptiness, like a vast grassland, stretching as far as the eye could see... Oh, I can't do it.

Because of the pervasive, faint mist in the air, it's impossible to see the entire area at a glance.

But it's certain that there's nothing in front of them, not even a mountain or a range of mountains, not even a single tree or blade of grass.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

You look at me, I look at you.

"We... have we encountered a ghost?" The bird-tamer, his heart pounding, wiped the sweat from his brow and blurted out instinctively.

Jundu crossed his arms and gave a cold expression: "Heh."

Although it is only one word, the sarcasm in it is extremely strong.

The bird-tamer silently shut his mouth.

Stop cursing, stop cursing.

He knew he had misunderstood.

Fu Han frowned, absentmindedly tugging at her hair. "Shall we wander around this area?"

"maybe……"

"There's no such thing as a certainty," Jun Du interrupted her directly. "If the coordinates are correct, but we still can't see the mountain, then there's definitely a problem in this area, a very serious problem."

At this point, Jundu took out his phone.

It is a pity.

No signal.

Jundu let out a disgruntled click of his tongue.

"...We shouldn't have been so hesitant. We should have let Ei come in too." He didn't really want to admit it, but in this situation, Jundo really couldn't handle it.

"So what do we do now?" The beast tamer of Flying Cloud Tiger looked left and right.

"explore?"

"Should we go back?"

Standing there like an idiot isn't a solution.

Jundu also knew that he had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

"Pair up, Professor Qiao Bai and I will go together, you can divide the time yourselves, twenty minutes to explore." Fortunately, even though Jun Du wasn't very good at dealing with this kind of strange thing, he didn't just give up, but came up with a compromise.

In short.

We absolutely cannot leave empty-handed!

For better cooperation.

The Black Golden Roc's beast tamer and the Flying Cloud Tiger's beast tamer formed a team.

The Beastmaster of the Bird of Paradise and the Beastmaster of the Electrode Thunder Cat formed a pair.

Finally, Qi Luan's beast tamer and Fu Han formed a team.

The group consisted of eight people in four teams, with Qiao Bai, the weakest among them, being protected by Jun Du, the strongest.

They dispersed in four directions, each with a rather solemn expression.

The address is correct, but the mountain they are looking for is nowhere to be found. What does this mean?

This means there's a really big problem!

To better protect Qiao Bai, Jundu released another tier-eight swamp monster.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Don't be put off by the Swamp Monster's appearance. It's quite adept at defense and damage reflection," Jundu said, taking Qiao Bai's silence as disdain for the Swamp Monster.

Qiao Bai shook his head: "I'm not being disgusted."

I just feel...

Despite its appearance, it has no strange smell and can even rival many agile superhuman creatures in speed. Swamp monsters can be considered magical creatures.

Because of its versatility, even though Swamp Monster has no evolutionary path and can only be cultivated to the mid-level of the eighth tier, there are still many people who want to contract Swamp Monster.

The only problem is that swamp monsters have no way to reproduce.

They all reproduce through self-reproduction.

Yes.

Swamp monsters cannot die.

The death of one swamp monster symbolizes the birth of another, and the number of swamp monsters is constant.

Therefore, contracting a swamp monster is no easier than contracting a dragon-type extraordinary creature.

I never expected that Mr. Cointreau would actually have one.

Qiao Bai looked away.

With his safety assured, Qiao Bai began to think about other issues.

Looking at the bare ground beneath his feet, Qiao Bai was filled with mixed emotions.

This is really...

Qiao Bai thought of what A Yong and A Yun had said to him before—"The mountain seems to be alive."

I thought it was a metaphor, or a feeling, but I never expected... Qiao Bai never imagined that these words would come true at this moment.

The mountain has truly come alive.

And it seemed as if it had spread its legs and run away.

Who can I complain to about this?

Where is the mountain?

Missed.

What about the red soil exploration team?

It disappeared along with the mountain.

Qiao Bai gave a troubled look.

hiss--

This matter is indeed more complicated than I imagined.

"You seem to know something?" Jun Du noticed Qiao Bai's expression.

Normally, Jundu wouldn't ask anything, but the current situation is unusual, and Jundu himself feels it's tricky.

"Hmm..." After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Bai still told Jun Du what he had heard.

Then Qiao Bai added, "Now it seems that this mountain did indeed exist, and it ran away on its own."

Cointreau: "..."

Jundu opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He looked at Qiao Bai with a shocked and doubtful gaze, as if asking Qiao Bai: Are you sure?

Qiao Bai nodded.

On this point, Ah Yong and Ah Yun would never lie to him.

"Actually, it wouldn't be strange if there were just no mountains here. The strangest thing is that there are no mountains and no other vegetation here either," Qiao Bai added.

They have walked nearly a kilometer in this direction.

No grass grows.

There weren't even any rocks.

This is not normal.

This land looks as if it has been deeply plowed by some tool.

It is a piece of land that is very suitable for planting.

Jundu, who also saw this, sighed.

Yes.

This very obvious anomaly cannot be ignored.

Jundu took out his phone and snapped two photos: "I'm not very good at this. I'll ask Hui and the others when we get out. Maybe they know something."

Qiao Bai nodded.

"Let's not go any further, I'll dig a bit more," Qiao Bai said, stroking his chin.

Cointreau: "?"

Do not understand.

But with respect.

As a professor of pet animals, Qiao Bai has his own ideas and research directions, which is perfectly normal in Jun Du's eyes, and there is nothing to refuse.

"Okay, I'll walk a little further ahead and see. The swamp monster will follow you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Bai made an OK gesture.

He had his own pet beast, and a swamp monster watching over him.

Even in the fog, the chances of him getting into trouble are slim.

After all, there is simply no suitable place for extraordinary creatures to hide here.

As for why he wanted to dig...

Qiao Bai used his innate skill to look down into the ground.

There was no response.

But the sixth sense, which doesn't actually exist, always made Qiao Bai feel that something was wrong underground.

Qiao Bai sighed.

He also felt that his idea was strange.

"But anyway, it's not a big deal to give it a try. Let's just treat it as a whim and the awakening of our bloodline?" Qiao Bai muttered to himself as he squatted on the ground.

Little Wu landed on Qiao Bai's shoulder from the sky, causing Qiao Bai to stumble and almost fall forward, facing the yellow earth with his back to the sky.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Qiao Bai stabilized his body with his powerful core strength.

Then he started rummaging through his backpack.

It was like taking out a treasure bag; it pulled out a multi-functional military shovel and then a glass container.

Dig up some soil and put it into a container.

Qiao Bai was surprised to discover.

The soil, which was originally black, magically turned red after being dug up.

"Could this be red soil?" Qiao Bai immediately thought of the special products of Red Soil City, the red soil series of resources.

Before coming in, Qiao Bai made a point of learning about it.

Although red soil is the most common of the four resources, it doesn't mean that red soil is everywhere in the Red Soil Secret Realm. It just means that red soil is much more abundant than the other three resources.

Most of it is just ordinary soil.

The red soil areas that have been discovered have been specially designated and protected; they cannot be excavated casually.

There's a fixed quota for how much to dig up and how much to take away.

Is his luck so good that he can just dig up red soil every time he wants?

Qiao Bai shook the container in his hand, feeling that something seemed off.

"Dig a little more, and check it out after we get out." For a moment, Qiao Bai seemed to have thought of something. An inspiration flashed through his mind. Qiao Bai was a little disappointed, but he immediately adjusted his mindset and continued digging.

Dig a little here.

Dig a little there.

Qiao Bai dug for about ten minutes.

You won't know until you dig, and what you find will shock you.

Qiao Bai would only dig one shovelful at a time, then move on to a different spot, just like a gopher digging a hole.
