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

Chapter 221 I'd rather believe in insect mutation than believe that insects can fly!

Then, turning my head, I saw Professor Li's expression.

Fusuke Mimura's heart skipped a beat.

It seems... something has slipped out of their control and expectations?

Qiao Bai: Yes! That's right! It's me!

"That sounds pretty impressive," Qiao Bai finally said.

Upon hearing this, Fusuke Mimura immediately shifted his gaze from Professor Li to Qiao Bai.

He looked like a young man.

Mimura Fusuke didn't think much of it.

He gave Qiao Bai a look that said, "Keep praising me like that."

Qiao Bai :)

Are some people overthinking things?

Qiao Bai coughed and continued his performance: "I wonder what your country's burrowing worms look like."

Fusuke Mimura frowned, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

But we still didn't find any major problems.

problem?

Is there a problem?

This is just a normal inquiry!

Moreover, if they want to continue researching the burrowing worm project, they will eventually have to take out the burrowing worms they brought.

They would never show their research findings to China.

But what about hiding the burrowing insects as well?

That is impossible.

"It's not difficult to see it if you want to," said Mimura Fusuke, raising his head with a proud expression. "We also hope that China will have more and better ideas after seeing it."

As they talked, they couldn't resist taking a subtle jab at them.

Professor Li: "..."

Professor Rong: "..."

Ha ha.

The two men, one sharp and the other kind, both looked at Mimura Fusuke with the eyes of someone looking at a fool.

Fusuke Mimura, caught up in the excitement, didn't notice.

Standing next to him, Shinsai Ichishima's heart also skipped a beat.

Does China have any other tricks up its sleeve?

Shinsai Ichishima tugged at Fusuke Mimura's clothes, trying to calm him down.

However, it was all over.

Sanmura Fusuke raised his hand.

From the research team following behind him, one person immediately stepped forward, and a giant burrowing worm appeared in the open space in front of him.

Qiao Bai took a step back in disgust.

You can't blame him.

The earth-burrowing worm from the Fire Cherry Kingdom looks really... Qiao Bai didn't know how to describe it more vividly; in short, it was hard to put into words.

Qiao Bai had seen burrowing insects before.

At first glance, it looks like a giant version of a worm.

It was actually a giant version of an insect, but it wasn't that meaty.

Due to its properties, its body is a brownish-red color.

It was an armor-like thing covered by a layer of hard mud on the outside.

It's a bit strange.

However, it's still barely within an acceptable range.

However, this burrowing worm from the Fire Cherry Kingdom, perhaps due to a change in its attributes, seems to be...

The body changed from reddish-brown to white with brown undertones, a color scheme that is difficult to describe and evaluate.

Then, a sticky liquid kept secreting from my body.

Let alone Qiao Bai, whom I met for the first time.

Even Professor Li and Professor Rong, who had seen the burrowing worms of the Fire Cherry Kingdom, silently and impassively took a step back.

Yep.

They just wanted to adjust their perspective so they could observe more closely.

They definitely weren't looking down on this burrowing worm!

They are professors specializing in pet animals.

How could anyone feel disgusted by such a thing!

Qiao Bai: "..."

If other people's actions weren't so synchronized, he might actually believe it.

Dislike it.

But Qiao Bai still activated his innate skill and looked at the slimy creature in front of him, which didn't look like a burrowing worm but more like a slug.

[Pet: Burrowing Bug]

[Attributes: Ground + Steel]

[Type: Intermediate-level, Low-level Extraordinary]

[Level: Tier 3, Advanced Transcendent]

[Skills: Drilling, burrowing, body hardening, slime]

[Does not currently meet the conditions for evolution]

It hurts so much...it hurts so much...

Qiao Bai raised an eyebrow.

kindness……

So, this burrowing worm looks like it has a very frivolous appearance?

Qiao Bai's gaze swept over the burrowing worm's skills.

Qiao Bai then frowned.

"What did you do to this burrowing worm? It looks like it's in a lot of pain."

Qiao Bai did not overlook the inner feelings of the burrowing worm.

The main problem is that it only uses these three words over and over again.

It's obvious.

The burrowing insects are really making me very uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this, Mimura Fusuke frowned and glanced at Qiao Bai again.

Uncomfortable?

How did this young fellow know that the burrowing worm looked uncomfortable?

Because Qiao Bai was so young, San Cun Fu Jie initially didn't take him seriously.

They just treated Qiao Bai as someone who was there to make up the numbers.

But now...

"What are you talking about?" Mimura Fusuke feigned a blank and innocent look. "How did you figure out the burrowing worm was uncomfortable?"

"Are they trying to slander us?"

Fusuke Mimura was righteous and awe-inspiring.

They even went so far as to throw a bucket of dirty water on Qiao Bai.

"Hehe." Before Qiao Bai could say anything, Professor Li stepped forward first.

Professor Li's face was full of mockery as he looked at Fusuke Mimura with disdain: "How did you figure that out? It's his innate skill, of course!"

"We don't need to explain what it is to you!" Professor Li interrupted Mimura Fusuke's questioning with a single sentence.

"Now it's your turn to explain."

"Professor Joe's talent and skills could never be wrong!"

Mimura Fusuke was somewhat flustered.

What innate skill allows a pet to sense its emotions?

It seems not impossible.

Thinking about this made Fusuke Mimura want to curse.

But he still tried his best to remain calm and insisted on his previous statement: "I know nothing. Are you Chinese trying to slander us?"

This moment.

The three villagers are portrayed as mentally challenged NPCs.

No matter how aggressive Professor Li was, he only said this one sentence.

Mimura Fusuke hasn't done anything yet.

Professor Li was furious.

Seeing that the scene was about to become chaotic again, Qiao Bai walked towards the burrowing worm.

Instantly.

Everyone stopped arguing and looked in Qiao Bai's direction.

What are they trying to do?

Everyone had roughly the same thought.

Apart from the stubborn Fire Sakura Kingdom, the other two countries believed that what Qiao Bai and Professor Li said was true.

That burrowing worm wasn't feeling too comfortable either.

But what can Qiao Bai do now that he's gone?

It turns out.

Qiao Bai could do far more than they imagined.

He walked up to the burrowing worm...

It's not exactly in front of me.

Because they are insects, burrowing insects don't have faces.

At most, you can distinguish the front from the back by the mouthparts and the excretory opening.

Walk up to the mouthparts.

Qiao Bai took out a small piece of red crystal.

Others: "?"

What is this?

The same question arose in their minds.

Before Sancun Fujie could even open his mouth to scold Qiao Bai for acting recklessly.

The earthworm, which had been half-dead just moments before, suddenly became so excited that it straightened up!

With its mouth wide open, it lunged towards Qiao Bai.

Professor Li: "!"

Suddenly.

Professor Li's hair stood on end, and he immediately tried to run towards Qiao Bai.

Those open mouthparts looked like they could swallow Qiao Bai whole in one gulp!

"fine!"

Qiao Bai shouted loudly to the people behind him without turning his head.

"The burrowing worms mean me no harm, so please don't rush over."

Professor Rong took quick strides, and although he looked a bit older, he was actually faster than Professor Li, the "young man," when he ran.

Professor Li, who was unable to move after being caught by Professor Rong, was left speechless.

No?

How did this world suddenly become so fantastical?

Professor Li looked at Professor Rong with a shocked and incredulous expression.

I never expected Professor Rong to have such a trick up his sleeve.

Professor Rong smiled: "Trust Xiao Qiao, and don't cause trouble for others."

The situation on Qiao Bai's side was not as dangerous as imagined.

but……

It wasn't as easy as he made it out to be.

Qiao Bai's lips twitched as he stared at the burrowing worm as it propped itself up, its body dripping with slime.

This scene is incredibly impactful.

While inwardly complaining about the discomfort, the burrowing insect peered into the blood crystal of the three-legged golden crow in Qiao Bai's hand.

Awooo—

Swallow in one bite.

Although it looks a bit too cringeworthy.

But the burrowing worms did not harm Qiao Bai at all.

Even the oily skin wasn't scratched at all.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Bai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Once swallowed, the crystal instantly transformed into flames and burned inside the burrowing worm's body.

Remove the lesions.

Visible to the naked eye.

The burrowing worms' condition improved.

Mimura Fusuke: "!"

The beast tamer of the burrowing worm: "!"

"The burrowing worm is really healed..." The burrowing worm's beast tamer looked at the burrowing worm with a shocked gaze, then looked at Qiao Bai.

He was speaking the Fire Cherry language.

Qiao Bai understood.

Qiao Bai turned around and glanced at Sanmura Fusuke.

The moment his eyes met Qiao Bai's, Sanmura Fusuke didn't know why, but his whole body trembled.

"You...you..." Fusuke Mimura's mind went blank. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

At this moment, Shinsai Ichishima, who was standing next to him, stepped forward and looked directly at Qiao Bai.

"What did you feed the burrowing worms?"

"What if it affects the future evolution of the burrowing worms..."

Shinsai Ichishima is a spitting image of Fusuke Mimura.

The same righteous indignation.

They seize every opportunity to label China.

Qiao Bai didn't even bother to roll his eyes at the two of them.

Wasting his time.

"Don't overestimate yourself," Qiao Bai said coldly, looking at the burrowing worm whose emotions were gradually calming down.

"Your research direction was wrong from the very beginning."

"No matter how much you mess with the burrowing worms, you won't get the effect you want."

Fire Sakura Kingdom Team: "?"

Celia's team: "?"

Professor Li: "!"

"Um... how do I put this?" Looking left and right, seeing that no one was speaking, Hai Nei was cautious yet genuinely curious.

She asked in a low voice.

The atmosphere was indeed strange.

But if she doesn't ask anything, and Qiao Bai really doesn't explain later, she'll definitely regret it to death!

People from all over the country stood up fearlessly!

"First of all, I can't understand why you think that burrowing worms can evolve into dragon-like superhuman creatures."

"Just because of the current evolutionary path of the burrowing worm, it will evolve into the burrowing dragon?" Qiao Bai complained with a look of disgust.

Those names are given by people, too.

The evolved burrowing worm has become nearly ten times larger.

It is still a long strip.

But calling a large insect a "dragon" isn't entirely incomprehensible.

At least in terms of body shape, they do have a slight resemblance.

however.

Neither their attributes nor their lineage are related at all.

"The burrowing worm does indeed have a new evolutionary path," Qiao Bai continued. "That's interesting."

"Have you noticed that burrowing worms have evolved to have the tendency to fly?"

Mimura Fusuke: "!!!"

Shinsai Ichishima: "!!!"

If Qiao Bai refuted me just now...

He was criticized by Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai...

Ok.

In short, none of what Qiao Bai said before was very important.

After that sentence was uttered.

The two people, the entire Fire Cherry Kingdom research team, including the accompanying beast tamers, all paled.

Others: "!"

good good!

There's no need to ask anything.

Just by looking at the expressions on Huo Ying's face, you can tell that Qiao Bai hit the nail on the head.

but……

Their gaze turned back to the giant insect.

This thing.

Tell them.

After evolving, will it be able to fly?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

However, there's the precedent of Fire Sakura saying that burrowing worms can evolve into dragon-type extraordinary creatures.

Turning my head, I heard that the burrowing bug could fly after evolving, which didn't seem strange or incomprehensible.

"That's not right either." Atu chimed in, joining in.

Two tall men stood next to Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai, right in the middle, seemed to shrink inexplicably, like a hollow in the pelvis.

Qiao Bai: "..."

He doesn't care much about his height.

I really don't care about height!

Qiao Bai pretended not to see Atu and Hai Nei beside him and silently took a step forward.

Unaware of anything amiss, Hai Nei and Atu instinctively moved a step along with Qiao Bai.

Professor Rong curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

Young people.

Hahaha.

Qiao Bai remained silent.

Qiao Bai stopped.

Atu continued, "But the burrowing worm's attribute is ground-based!"

"We all know that conflicting attributes cannot coexist in the same extraordinary creature!"

Ground properties.

It was destined never to take flight.

Flying-type Pokémon cannot absorb energy by stomping on the ground.

This is common sense.

"Not surprising." Qiao Bai shook his head: "This world is so big, and there are so many extraordinary beings."

"Extraordinary creatures with both ground and steel attributes can now evolve into dragons."

"Why can't there be another flight attribute, or an attribute conflict setting?"

Qiao Bai seriously dragged the Fire Cherry Kingdom into the mess.

The Fire Cherry Kingdom members who wanted to object were silenced by Qiao Bai: "..."

uncomfortable.

I feel so uncomfortable.

"No way, no way." Qiao Bai seemed to only then remember that the people from the Fire Cherry Kingdom were behind him.

He turned around, feigning surprise: "You don't believe that the burrowing worm can evolve into a dragon-type supernatural creature, and you don't believe that the burrowing worm can simply fly after evolving?"

Professor Li added fuel to the fire, saying, "I also think that saying burrowing insects can fly is more plausible than saying they can turn into dragons."

"This is your great discovery? The kind based entirely on guesswork?" Hai Nei looked sincerely at the professor of pet beasts from the Fire Cherry Kingdom.

His sincere words stabbed them in the heart.
