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

Chapter 185 Qiao Bai: My life almost ended in the hands of my own people! A storm is brewing!

Qiao Bai sighed.

There have already been so many unexpected events, if there are any more... he can't take it, he really can't take it.

So let's just do it honestly.

"Little Wu, why don't you fly with the cat bug?" After walking for a while, Qiao Bai felt that he was really too tired to continue.

He turned his gaze back to his two big, healthy children.

The little light bulb on his head lit up.

correct.

We cannot take them back.

But you can let Little Wu fly with the cat-like insect!

Xiao Wu: ×

His entire being screamed "no!"

Qiao Bai looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu looked at Qiao Bai.

Their golden-red eyes and amber-brown eyes met.

In the end, it was Xiao Wu who made the concession.

Xiao Wu: o(^｀）o

What can we do?

You're only doing this because the bird spoils you!

Hey!

What will this house do without birds?!

Looking at the acquiescent little bird, Qiao Bai smiled and touched the little bird's ahoge (cowlick) on its head... Then, the ahoge that had been standing firm since the little bird was a small bird began to sway precariously.

It shook its head twice on Little Wu's head.

In the end, it couldn't withstand the impact and fell down.

An awkward atmosphere immediately filled the air.

Qiao Bai: "..."

Little Wu: "..."

"Wrong! Wrong! Stop pecking! Stop pecking!" Qiao Bai quickly hugged Xiao Wu, preventing the tragedy that was about to befall him.

Little Wu was furious.

Even though Qiao Bai was holding her, her wings were still flapping incessantly.

hateful!

Bird feathers!

Bird feathers!

The cutest little hair!

It's gone!

Xiao Wu stared angrily at Qiao Bai with its big eyes wide open.

"Well... a moment of patience brings peace, a step back opens up a vast sky. We should think positively, maybe this is... this is..." Qiao Bai tried to seriously persuade Xiao Wu.

He's just kidding...

Even Qiao Bai herself was starting to lose confidence in herself.

No?

This amount of shedding is really a bit excessive, isn't it?

Qiao Bai glanced down furtively.

Yep.

It's a little inappropriate to say this, but the little bird's shedding has really gotten to the point where some of its skin is exposed.

Xiao Wu, who hadn't been fooled by Qiao Bai to begin with, became even angrier after noticing Qiao Bai's impolite gaze.

Xiaowu: (へ╬)

Ahhhhh!

Even with Qiao Bai holding Xiao Wu, it was about to go berserk.

Little Wu transformed directly into a woodpecker.

The cat-like insect had already scurried onto Qiao Bai's shoulder in fright.

The little white snake and the little jellyfish had never seen anything like this before.

I have to say it again—the shedding is absolutely terrifying!

Thankfully, they didn't shed any fur!

Little Wu, noticing the looks in his three underlings' eyes: "..."

Angry!

Awaken!

The hunt has begun!

The enraged little crow's originally golden-red eyes became even more intense, and its gaze towards Qiao Bai seemed to want to kill him with its eyes.

then……

"Wait, wait, wait! Calm down, Xiao Wu! It's burning! It's really burning!"

I'm not kidding.

Flames shot out from Little Blackie's red eyes!

The moment Qiao Bai realized something was wrong, he quickly turned Xiao Wu's head to a different direction. Xiao Wu seemed to realize it too and cooperated very well with Qiao Bai, so the flames didn't fall on Qiao Bai.

A hair's breadth away.

The flames were aimed directly at a rock formation not far away, about the height of a person.

next second.

This massive rock silently and quietly turned into limestone.

Qiao Bai turned to look at Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with a deep, unsettling gaze.

Xiao Wu, who had just been so righteous and angry at Qiao Bai, suddenly became guilty and shifty in her eyes.

what……

This one...

Is it possible that the bird didn't do it on purpose?

Xiao Wu blinked her big, watery eyes, trying to make Qiao Bai ignore the matter by acting cute.

However, Qiao Bai was not swayed at all by Xiao Wu's adorable expression.

"I'm heartless, understand?" As he spoke, Qiao Bai manually turned Xiao Wu's head back to its original position.

"Have a clear understanding of your current power."

"I really can't stand even the slightest bit of your flames."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu instinctively wanted to look at Qiao Bai again, but then remembered his exaggerated flames and could only silently look towards the void.

Green hills and clear waters, everything is beautiful.

But Xiao Wu was very upset.

Who would have thought!

This was all an accident!

accident!

Qiao Bai sighed.

He knew, of course, that this was just an accident.

But when Xiao Wu suddenly spewed fire from his eyes, Qiao Bai was startled.

Not to mention the sheer power of this flame.

Although it was only a thin stream, Qiao Bai observed carefully and realized that the rock, which was as tall as a person, was not completely burned away by the flames.

Instead, the moment the flames touched the rocks, the rocks burst into flames with a "whoosh".

The only thing that made Qiao Bai feel fortunate was that the flames released by Xiao Wu went out the instant the mountain rocks were burned clean.

otherwise……

Setting fire to the mountain will land you in jail for life (crossed out).

Qiao Bai couldn't imagine how much staying power the flames would have once they started burning.

I'm afraid I'm afraid.

Qiao Bai activated his talent skill and glanced at Xiao Wu. He suspected that the surrounding environment had some influence on Xiao Wu.

However, judging from the talent skills, there is no difference from before.

Qiao Bai: A small head with a big question mark.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead.

I always felt that the physical and mental exhaustion was no match for the sudden and fierce flames that Xiao Wu had unleashed.

It's really true that one wrong move and you could die at the hands of your own people.

"Little Wu's flames are being purified."

Just as Qiao Bai was still pondering what was going on, the "angel" spoke again.

Qiao Bai: "..."

"Good, at least we know what's going on here." Qiao Bai said somewhat helplessly. As for asking about the "angel"... sorry, Qiao Bai no longer had that thought.

Having spent so much time with "Angel", Qiao Bai has learned more or less about "Angel's" personality.

The "angel" would not hide anything from the other party that they knew or could tell him.

The parts that weren't mentioned are either things they don't know or things they can't say, so asking them is pointless.

It's either a waste of time or doubles the mental exhaustion.

"Purification..." Qiao Bai murmured the word, his expression gradually becoming somewhat strange.

It's not evolution.

It's not about becoming stronger.

Instead, it's about purification.

Qiao Bai pondered for a moment and then memorized the word.

He no longer forced Xiao Wu to act on his own.

Yep.

It's definitely not because I'm afraid that Xiao Wu might suddenly unleash a ball of fire on him.

He genuinely cared about Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu, who was being held by Qiao Bai, was also uncomfortable.

Xiaowu: QAQ

Although it was very comfortable to be held by the beast tamer.

But the bird wanted to watch the beast tamer!

Face-to-face!

Can we change positions?

Qiao Bai :)

He felt it was unacceptable.

Little Wu felt wronged.

Xiao Wu dared not speak.

Xiao Wu was well aware that the power of that flame was truly terrifying.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Bai, who was even more tired than before after all the work, continued forward.

The mountains stood before him, yet the distance between him and the mountains seemed endless.

Just thinking about Qiao Bai makes me feel like I'm going to faint.

"Come on, believe in yourself, I can do it." Just think of it as a special kind of physical and mental practice. Thinking like this makes me feel a little better.

Qiao Bai: Self-comfort, self-hypnosis, self-motivation—learning to deceive yourself is also a kind of happiness.

Tired.jpg

The atmosphere in Red Earth City is quite somber right now.

After receiving a call from Mr. Feng, Ms. Hui and Jundu each spoke with him privately for nearly five minutes.

Because they were already eighth-level Heavenly King Beast Tamers, their identities had been confirmed repeatedly and there were no problems. Elder Feng had also revealed Qiao Bai's importance to some extent.

Both of them have access to information related to that level.

They never expected that Qiao Bai would actually...

The two of them then frowned.

After hanging up the phone.

The other seventh-tier beast tamers, who hadn't heard anything, looked completely bewildered.

Why did the expressions of the two Heavenly King Beast Tamers become so solemn after the phone call?

Could it be that... the situation in Red Earth City has really become this serious?

A sense of unease began to creep into their hearts.

Ms. Hui glanced at the expressions on their faces, then said in as calm a voice as possible, "Please don't worry, everyone. The situation in Red Earth City and Flame City is still under control."

"What we were discussing earlier... was a problem that arose in the Red Earth Secret Realm, which could be quite tricky."

It's impossible to hide the truth forever, so Ms. Hui downplayed the issue and diverted everyone's attention from Qiao Bai.

Only Ning Ruxue and Fu Han were not easily diverted from the topic.

The former has sufficient knowledge and understanding of Qiao Bai.

The latter... is because they observed very carefully enough.

Fu Han noticed the exchange of glances between Ms. Hui and Jundu, as well as the indescribable anxiety and urgency in their expressions.

It cannot be simply described or summarized by the words "worry about the red soil secret realm"; there must be a much deeper reason behind it.

Moreover, it allowed Mr. Feng to call and personally inquire and communicate...

Fu Han thought about what had happened and her gaze immediately locked onto Qiao Bai.

All of this must be related to Qiao Bai.

This is true.

"So what's next..." After thinking for a moment, Fu Han still asked softly.

Regardless, she owed Professor Qiao Bai a favor, even though, for Professor Qiao Bai, the evolutionary path of the Rainbow-patterned Scaled Fish was just something he casually researched.

However, for Fu Han, it was precisely because Qiao Bai researched this new evolutionary path that she was able to join the ranks of seventh-level beast tamers.

To some extent, Fu Han paid extra attention to Qiao Bai.

"A new eighth-tier beast tamer will be arriving to lead the team soon. You all just need to guard Red Earth City and Flame City and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"I will enter the Red Earth Secret Realm with Cointreau."

The others had no objections, nodded, and accepted the decision.

but……

Are they really going to bring in a new Rank 8 Beastmaster?

The group exchanged glances, still sensing an impending storm.

……

Qiao Bai was unaware that the outside world had almost turned upside down because of him.

He is making difficult progress.

ten meters.

100 meters.

A kilometer... well, we haven't even reached a kilometer yet.

Knowing that his senses and perceptions were malfunctioning, Qiao Bai judged time by the distance he had traveled. Just as the "angel" had said, the time that had passed was much shorter than he had imagined.

"This is really..." Qiao Bai grinned, his tone tinged with helplessness.

However, as long as he doesn't give up and keeps moving forward, treating this erroneous sensory perception as a kind of pressure training for himself, Qiao Bai soon felt that his body seemed to have adapted a lot.

Ten minutes... half an hour... an hour...

In Qiao Bai's mistaken perception, more than a day had passed, but Qiao Bai still persevered.

Are you feeling tired?

Tell yourself: It's all fake! It's all fake!

Are you hungry?

He silently counted in his mind: Half an hour, an hour! There's no way he could get hungry in such a short time!

If I were to eat like this now, consuming three meals a day within an hour, I would definitely stuff myself to death!

He's completely different from that gluttonous Little Jellyfish!

The jellyfish that was mentioned: "?"

The little jellyfish bent its tentacles, still hiding its body inside Qiao Bai's hair.

It's not very effective.

The main focus is on providing psychological comfort.

It was like the little white snake hiding its head inside Qiao Bai's clothes.

The little white snake and the little jellyfish: As long as we don't show our faces, we can pretend we're not afraid!

Qiao Bai: "..."

Forget it.

Is it a problem to spoil your own child?

This isn't even a problem!

This is only natural!

After walking for more than an hour, Qiao Bai was drenched in sweat, and he finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Phew—" Qiao Bai casually found a shady spot, sat down to rest for a while, and adjusted his state of mind.

Although they were suddenly moved, fortunately, the supplies they had brought with them before they came in were still there.

water.

Dry food.

Multi-functional military shovel.

Qiao Bai drank some water and ate some food, not much, and stopped when he felt slightly full.

With his senses unreliable, Qiao Bai had to be even more careful in controlling his bodily sensations.

Pay attention if anything unusual happens.

It's different from the feeling of time dragging on endlessly when we were moving forward.

The rest time seems to have returned to normal.

I took a ten-minute break, glanced at the time, and sure enough, ten minutes had passed.

Qiao Bai curled his lip: "What kind of crazy cleverness is this?"

"Shouldn't I feel like I've had a whole day of rest when only an hour has actually passed?"

If that were really possible, it would be absolutely amazing!

pity.

not at all.

Time here seems to know exactly how to squeeze every last drop out of people.

Qiao Bai stood up, dusted himself off, and was about to continue when he noticed what appeared to be a piece of cloth in the grass beside him.

Qiao Bai paused for a moment.

He walked quickly in that direction.

Bend over.

Pick it up.

It was a scrap of clothing.

It was stained with blood.

But none of that matters.

Most importantly, there was a mark on the outside of this piece of fabric that seemed somewhat familiar to Qiao Bai.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Bai took out a handkerchief from her bag.

When compared side by side, the two marks are exactly the same.

If I had to point out a difference, it would be that the markings on the handkerchief are much clearer and cleaner, while those on this scrap of fabric are much blurrier.

However, the level of refinement is the same.

It's obviously not a counterfeit.

"So... the Red Earth Exploration Team is around here?" Qiao Bai murmured, looking at the marker belonging to the Red Earth Exploration Team.

Then Qiao Bai realized about the erroneous sensory perception here.

Thinking about it again, the red soil exploration team has been missing for more than twelve hours.

If their situation is the same as his...

hiss--

Qiao Bai gasped.

Although, but.

It seems like more than half a month has passed!

The red soil exploration team is probably all doomed!
