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

Chapter 261 With great power comes great responsibility!

"How about we send Qiao Bai a ticket?"

"Should we invite him to come and take a look?"

This is a college league!

This competition is the best test of a college student's beast taming skills!

It's understandable that Qiao Bai wasn't very interested in the previous preliminary rounds, open qualifiers, and elimination rounds.

This is the final!

Qiao Bai would definitely be very interested to hear that!

Qiao Bai, who received both the ticket stub and Qi Yue's phone call at the same time: "..."

"I am indeed very interested, but I've been a bit busy lately, so I probably can't go," Qiao Bai said with a regretful expression as he looked at Qi Yue and Lin Weiwei on the other end of the video call.

Qi Yue's face showed a look of confusion and bewilderment: "Huh?"

"We're almost on holiday, why are you so busy?"

Qi Yue couldn't understand.

Qiao Bai looked quite troubled.

"Sigh, who can argue with that?" Qiao Bai sighed softly.

This matter really needs to be discussed...

Qiao Bai also felt a headache coming on.

yesterday.

The day after the mechanical octopus was created, the Star City Beast Taming Alliance National Research Institute suddenly contacted Qiao Bai.

Qiao Bai: "?"

"You want to see baby octopuses?"

Through the large screen inside the research institute, Qiao Bai saw Professor Li and Professor Rong on the other end of the screen and even felt as if he had returned to the time when he was in the National Research Institute.

of course.

Because of the tools around him... cough cough, researchers, Qiao Bai quickly came to his senses.

It's just an illusion.

However, as someone who had interacted closely with Professor Li and Professor Rong, Qiao Bai knew.

They would never contact you casually unless it was something important.

The only thing Qiao Bai could think of was the mechanical octopus.

Qiao Bai immediately wanted to call someone to go see what the mechanical octopus was doing.

Do you have time to come over for a while?

Just then.

Professor Li spoke up.

"Although I'm quite interested in that mechanical octopus and the support abilities you mentioned, that's not why I called you here today."

Qiao Bai: "?"

The question mark on Qiao Bai's face became even more obvious.

Isn't it for this?

What was the purpose of that?

At the same time, Qiao Bai noticed that Professor Rong, who was standing next to him, didn't seem to have a very happy expression on his face.

Qiao Bai frowned.

Professor Li had a stern face, indicating that the matter might not be that serious.

after all.

Professor Li's unruly and foul temper is well-known, so it's not impossible that he might suddenly become unhappy.

In contrast.

Professor Rong's emotions were much more stable.

It's as if they almost never get angry.

But if Professor Rong suddenly shows an angry or serious expression... then it means that the matter is much more important than imagined.

"We have detected a race led by a ninth-tier transcendent being in the forbidden area of ​​Rongcheng."

As soon as Professor Rong spoke, Qiao Bai was so shocked that he leaned back.

Ninth Rank!

Just like I said before.

Extremely powerful supernatural beings rarely appear in the forbidden land.

As long as it is within the scope that humans can explore.

Once a superhuman being is discovered that exceeds its strength, humans try to eliminate it as early as possible to prevent it from growing and becoming stronger.

Because the time required for extraordinary beings to grow is extremely long.

This tactic is effective.

Most of the extraordinary creatures that appear during beast tides emerge from misty regions inaccessible to humans.

Humans have no way to detect it in advance.

We can only face it when it comes down to it.

But no matter how you look at it.

The areas they have already explored are, to some extent, their safe zones, where no wild supernatural creatures can grow strong.

What's the deal with this newly born ninth-order extraordinary creature and its race?

"If I remember correctly... a ninth-tier wild transcendent creature with a clan usually has a very powerful clan?"

"The extraordinary creatures among them are generally at the eighth level, with the lowest being the seventh level."

"They might even have other ninth-tier transcendent beings as subordinates?"

As he spoke, Qiao Bai's brows furrowed little by little.

This sounds like a very bad situation!

Ninth Rank!

wild!

Extraordinary creatures!

No matter which two words are combined, the resulting effect is never very pleasant.

Not to mention...

"Yes." Professor Rong sighed deeply at Qiao Bai.

The staff members surrounding Qiao Bai were all very quiet and didn't dare to say a word.

This matter is far more serious than they imagined.

and so……

"What exactly is the situation?"

Qiao Bai quickly calmed down.

He looked intently at Professor Li and Professor Rong on the other side of the screen: "Logically speaking, you shouldn't have contacted me immediately."

"You can go find an eighth-level beast tamer if you want a ninth-level wild extraordinary creature."

As he spoke, several names flashed through Qiao Bai's mind.

Those were all eighth-tier beast tamers he had dealt with before.

There are very few ninth-tier beast tamers in China.

However, there are still a considerable number of eighth-tier beast tamers, and quite a few of them are powerful.

One might not be able to deal with this wild, ninth-tier transcendent creature and its kind.

But two or three?

If all else fails...

Why not just call up all those top-tier beast tamers?

There's always a solution!

Qiao Bai thought it over and over, but this matter shouldn't have fallen on his shoulders at all.

"Although I want to become a powerful beast tamer, I also believe that if I have another ten or twenty years, I will be able to contribute my own strength in this kind of thing."

Qiao Bai made eye contact with Professor Li and Professor Rong on the other side of the screen.

His eyes were full of confidence in his abilities.

ten years!

Eighth-tier Beast Tamer?

He can do it!

Qiao Bai was confident, and he also had this premonition!

Both Professor Li and Professor Rong showed a momentary expression of shock.

They were genuinely shocked by Qiao Bai's statement.

ten years?

Eighth-tier Beast Tamer?

Are you sure you're not joking?

...Well, if it were Qiao Bai, maybe he really could do it.

Having spent time with Qiao Bai, they all knew that Qiao Bai was not someone who liked to boast.

Furthermore, Qiao Bai has demonstrated his talent in beast taming.

Qiao Bai has a talent for combat, nurturing, and training.

The only thing Qiao Bai lacks is time.

"Cough cough..." Professor Rong was the first to react.

He gestured to Qiao Bai, trying to appear calm as much as possible: "Let's not talk about that now, let me tell you what's going on."

"This time..." Professor Rong frowned slightly, sighed, and exuded exhaustion.

"The situation is rather troublesome and complicated."

Professor Rong looked up at Qiao Bai: "Do you know what kind of extraordinary beings make up this ninth-tier extraordinary creature and its race?"

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Fuzhou.

He had only heard about it.

It is relatively close to Xingcheng.

But as for what kind of extraordinary creatures are most abundant in the forbidden lands of Rongcheng... Qiao Bai really doesn't know.

"Golden thread worms".

Qiao Bai: "?"

Qiao Bai: "!"

Qiao Bai frowned as well.

"I get it, I get it." Qiao Bai reached out and touched his forehead, his face showing an expression that was hard to tell whether it was disgust or something else.

In short, it's... complicated, very complicated.

Golden thread worm.

An extraordinary creature with insect-like attributes.

A very small fraction of them may be extraordinary creatures with insect and fire attributes.

It looks... just like an insect.

They are somewhat similar to honeybees.

For example, someone who is quite good-looking.

It's not as scary as ordinary insects.

A slender body, with a color that blends gold and white.

Aside from being too soft to the touch, some snake enthusiasts still quite like golden thread worms.

However, unlike the harmless honeyworm whose evolutionary path has not been discovered for thousands of years, the golden thread worm's reproductive ability is terrifying in some aspects.

That's right.

It's terrifying.

Golden threadworms prefer to reproduce in environments with moderate temperatures.

The optimal temperature for golden thread worms is close to that of the human body...

Traveling in special areas of the wilderness.

What I fear most is getting a wound.

Golden silkworms will come when they hear the news.

Once you are entangled by a wireworm, the wound itself is very likely to be used by the wireworm to lay eggs and reproduce...

The most terrifying thing is.

Insect-type extraordinary creatures can reproduce in very large numbers at once.

Thousands upon thousands.

Beast tamers or ordinary people who are accidentally entangled by golden thread worms should seek treatment at a pet center immediately.

It takes a very long time to completely remove the worm eggs from the body.

During this period.

There's also the possibility of encountering a terrifying scene where a golden worm, which hatched before it could be removed, crawls out of your body.

That period was... just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

The issue is.

To date, there are no effective medications or treatments available on the market specifically targeting golden thread worms.

of course.

The reproduction of golden thread worms does not necessarily depend on human body temperature.

The corpses of other hot-blooded superhuman beings with temperatures similar to humans, the corpses of ordinary beings, and so on.

They will try any environment that is suitable for reproduction.

I won't let any opportunity slip by.

"A ninth-order golden silkworm... hiss." Qiao Bai gasped.

Just thinking about it makes you realize how difficult these extraordinary creatures are to deal with.

Now another level nine one has arrived!

That would be absolutely deadly!

The insectoid races in those fantasy works are probably based on the goldworm, right?

In this respect, the golden thread worm is truly gifted.

Several gasps of cold air were heard around Qiao Bai.

It's obvious.

Just how much fear do people have of golden thread worms?

This is truly an indescribable, extraordinary creature.

Qiao Bai looked up and exchanged glances with Professor Rong and Professor Li: "You two must have had a purpose in telling me this, right?"

Qiao Bai didn't think that at this point, these two professors who could be considered big shots in pet research would contact him for no reason.

"Yes." Professor Rong nodded, sighed slightly, and looked somewhat ashen and pale.

"Actually, we received this news about two weeks ago."

"For the past two weeks, we have been studying golden worms."

Qiao Bai was stunned for a moment.

Studying golden thread worms?

Why bother researching this thing?

"We want to see if we can find a new evolutionary path for the golden worm by studying it, thereby discovering the defects and problems of the golden worm."

"Then we will develop targeted methods to combat the golden thread worms."

Qiao Bai became somewhat interested upon hearing this.

kindness?

That sounds interesting.

"But we couldn't figure it out." Professor Rong sighed again.

Professor Li, standing to the side, crossed his arms, turned his head away, and refused to speak.

Now Qiao Bai knew why Professor Li had such a sour expression.

It has been a long time since it was developed.

I felt ashamed.

As if noticing Qiao Bai's gaze, Professor Li coldly uttered a few words: "Too little time."

His voice still carried a hint of unspoken resentment.

That's right, the time was too short!

Half a month!

Only half a month!!!

They've only just figured out the extraordinary creature that is the golden worm, yet they want to develop a specific, targeted way to deal with it?

It's not that easy!

"Just like Professor Li said, time is too short, and we are really... powerless." Professor Rong's voice was filled with resentment when he said these four words.

It takes courage to admit one's own powerlessness.

Seeing Professor Rong's dejected expression, Qiao Bai offered heartfelt words of comfort.

"This is not your fault."

"No one expected such an accident to happen."

The difficulty in dealing with the ninth-order golden thread worm far exceeds imagination.

Although Professor Li and Professor Rong said that the golden thread worms have not yet launched a new wave of animal attacks on Fuzhou and surrounding cities.

But it is quite obvious.

It's already on its way.

They must be prepared to respond at any time!

"Headquarters has arranged for an eighth-tier ace beast tamer to go, but you know, this kind of thing isn't safe."

Professor Rong continued.

Qiao Bai nodded.

Understand.

Battles at the ninth rank are not as easy as you might imagine.

Especially when fighting against the ninth-tier golden silkworm.

Human beast tamers have to consider many factors, and they are even afraid to let themselves or their pets get hurt.

Otherwise, in the next second...

Let alone eliminating the ninth-order golden silkworm.

I myself am contributing to the next round of reproduction of the ninth-order golden silkworm!

"Professor Qiao Bai, could you please help us with our research?" Professor Rong finally revealed to Qiao Bai the purpose of his initial contact with him.

help.

They developed a special weapon specifically designed to combat golden threadworms.

Qiao Bai rubbed his forehead.

This one...

Qiao Bai looked at Professor Rong and Professor Li on the other side of the screen, who were watching him intently but did not urge him to make the choice.

Qiao Bai let out a long sigh.

What else can we do?!

"Okay." Qiao Bai nodded in agreement.

"But I can't guarantee it..."

Before Qiao Bai could finish his preemptive warning, Professor Rong interrupted him.

Seeing that Qiao Bai had actually agreed, Professor Rong gave a faint smile.

"That's enough, that's enough," Professor Rong said sincerely.

Take a deep breath.
