Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely-Chapter 333 - 329: Touching on the Sore Spot

Chapter 333: Chapter 329: Touching on the Sore Spot

“I’m sorry! Please accept my sincere apologies. I swear I will never dare to use the few of you to create dreams again.”

With a truly sincere face, the cordyceps fungus lay in front of the Husky and the other two pets, and solemnly made a promise.

Although he didn’t say it, in front of Beta who had insight into everything, his thoughts were easily seen through by Beta. After that, he ended up in his current state.

Awooo!

(How dare he not portray my heroic figure, that’s too much.)

Schuck: “?”

Bai Qi: “Beta, this is what you care about?”

Seeing how indignant Beta looked, Bai Qi covered his face and sighed, then sympathetically looked at the cordyceps fungus.

How big a trauma must he have suffered to depict Alpha and the others in such a way. Apart from Alpha who was slightly normal, the others were quite comical.

“Alright, no need to be this tense. Your cycle dream is quite good, but it’s lacking a bit in the horror atmosphere. Later, why don’t you perfect their personal dreams a bit? The effect might be even better.”

Bai Qi patted the cordyceps fungus and said, “When your dream-creation ability gets stronger, you can try those larger dreams.”

“Alright boss, I understand!”

Seeing Bai Qi support his actions, the cordyceps nodded vigorously. Since the boss had issued the order, if he used Alpha and the others to create dreams, he shouldn’t get beaten, right?

All of a sudden, he felt an endless stream of inspiration emerging.

“Alright, the first king-level creature is dealt with. Clean up the battlefield in a hurry and let’s go to the next place. This ghost place, it’s a bit smelly.”

Even though the Desolate Ghost Frog King had been dealt with, the environment of the Black Nightmare Swamp had not changed much, and Bai Qi did not want to stay here longer.

Awooo?

(We’re leaving? My nose is finally saved.)

On hearing this, Beta felt as if a great burden had been lifted, while Gamma and Delta on his side quickly finished dissecting the Desolate Ghost Frog King. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find any mythical resources.

“Tsk, no wonder the teacher would put the Desolate Ghost Frog King first. There isn’t even a mythical-level resource, it’s really a piece of junk.”

Bai Qi examined several resources taken from the Desolate Ghost Frog King one by one, somewhat disappointed.

Although there were also resources that could acquire super skills inside, they were not compatible with several of the pets. Jerry, who was the only one with a higher compatibility, also sneered at the skill of the Desolate Ghost Frog King storing souls and launching attacks.

These souls without substance were scattered directly by Beta with a Demon-subduing Mantra, without him having to use forcefields and were just a distraction at most.

“Forget it, just take it for now and ask Yi Xiaowei back at the base to see if he can exchange for something.”

Bai Qi gave all these resources to Delta, who immediately classified and stored them properly, and put them all into the secret realm base.

Crunch, crunch.

(Master, what about the leftovers? Make a dry pot together?)

Gamma pointed at the remains of the Desolate Ghost Frog King and asked.

“You can eat this one, I can’t consume the flesh of a king-level creature. Make me a separate small pot.”

Bai Qi nodded and said, “But let’s change locations first.”

Even though the Desolate Ghost Frog King had been dealt with, the environment of the Black Nightmare Swamp had not changed much, and Bai Qi didn’t want to stay here any longer either.

…

On the outskirts of Langya City.

Five young beast masters were carefully assessing the environment around them. The pets next to them looked even more vigilant, as if a fierce beast would jump out at any moment.

“Wang Yun, the Diamond Mouse tells me there might be king-level creatures here, and it seems like there are more than one. Should we go back first?”

A girl holding a Diamond Mouse looked fearfully at the nearby jungle and quietly said to Wang Yun beside her.

Before Wang Yun could respond, a handsome young man turned his head and smiled brightly, “Xiao Shi, don’t be afraid. How can king-level creatures coexist peacefully? And the task information shows that there’s only a lord-level plant-attribute fierce beast here. It’s no match for my Goddess of Light Butterfly.”

Li Shi hesitated for a moment, but Wang Yun on the side shook her head and said, “I can’t be sure if it’s a king-level creature, but judging by the aura that the Six-eyed Monkey detected, it’s definitely not a plant attribute.”

“Don’t worry, we’re not far from Langya City. If there were a king-level creature, the Federation would’ve eliminated it long ago. It wouldn’t have been there until now.”

Wu Yi smiled faintly and said, “Wang Yun, your pets are only Stage 3, so it’s very likely that they can’t sense clearly. Just relax, leave it to me.”

“Yes, Young Master Wu Yi is already a Fourth Stage Beast Master, it’s no effort at all for him to deal with a lord-level fierce beast.”

He Jia eagerly heaped on the praise. Wu Yi was clearly pleased. However, another young man who looked like a scholar seemed uneasy as he looked around and said, “But I remember the task information said that the area where the Explosive Beads Flower lives would leave a pungent smell that’s hard for people to bear. But I seem to smell…barbecue?”

“Barbecue? Lu Ze, are you starving crazily? How could a fierce beast barbecue?”

He Jia made a mockery as soon as he noticed the situation. He and Lu Ze were both beast masters of Langya City, and by a stroke of luck, they had become acquainted with Wu Yi, who was chasing after Li Shi. So, they willingly volunteered to be guides.

However, he did not expect that Wang Yun also asked Lu Ze, who he knew, to lead the way. Although he didn’t like his rival, since Wu Yi did not speak, he didn’t want to say too much. Thus, the five of them set off together.

As for why he was so respectful to Wu Yi, being the future heir of the Wu Financial Group was enough.

“Lu Ze’s got a point. There could be other Beast Masters nearby. Let’s check it out.”

Seeing Li Shi still hesitant, Wu Yi immediately followed up on Lu Ze’s suggestion. He Jia, who’d just mocked Lu Ze, was momentarily embarrassed, trying to smoothly change the conversation but not quite finding the words.

The five of them proceeded, cautiously entering the woods. The smell of meat Lu Ze had mentioned was getting stronger, which made them swallow involuntarily.

Growl~

Li Shi was embarrassed and put a hand over her stomach, trying to hide her awkwardness. However, in the face of this strangely appealing smell, her stomach gave an embarrassing growl.

“Sorry, that scent is quite…”

“No problem, I’m hungry too. Let’s find the Beast Master ahead and buy some food from them.”

At this point, Wu was pretty sure there was a Beast Master ahead having a meal. Seeing Li Shi’s apparent interest, Wu Yi was energized.

It was a rare occasion that Li Shi showed an interest in something—he wouldn’t want to miss such an opportunity.

As for whether the person ahead was willing to share…

Heh, as the heir to the Wu’s Financial Group, he should be able to handle this small matter.

“No, there’s no need, I was just…”

Seeing this, Li Shi became even more uncomfortable. She tried to stop him, but Wu Yi had already strode into the woods.

“Well, finding a Beast Master certainly beats running into a King Ferocious Beast.”

Wang Yun shook her head at the sight, signaling for Li Shi to follow.

In such dangerous, unknown wilderness, it was always good to encounter allies. As for Wu Yi, they might not like his haughty attitude as an elite, but they had to admit, it was effective.

The group hurriedly proceeded and soon came out of the woods to an open area where a man and his four pets were feasting around a disproportionately large table.

“Phew~ This Explosive Beads Flower pollen sure is spicy. I should bring some back for Master. It’d be perfect in a hot pot come winter. Beta, why are you trying to steal mine? Eat yours!”

Awooo~

(“Human, your pot smells good. I’d like to try it!”)

Cronch~

(“No rush, Gamma has plenty.”)

“Is that… Bai Qi?”

Wang Yun stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed at the man who was quarreling with a three-headed wolf over food, in disbelief.

Running into this guy on a random task, what kind of luck was that? Also, what the hell were they eating? The appearance of discarded skin looked somewhat like a Desolate Ghost Frog. And the biggest one among them certainly looked like a king of Desolate Ghost Frogs…

“Bai Qi, is that you?!”

Just as Wang Yun questioned her life choices, Wu Yi was baring his teeth and uttering Bai Qi’s name.

“Huh, someone’s here?”

When he heard his name, Bai Qi’s attention was inadvertently shifted. Just as he was distracted, Beta swooped in and snatched away the Ghost Frog from Bai Qi’s pot. Without chewing, Beta swallowed it whole.

“Damn it, Beta, give back my Desolate Ghost Frog!”

Seeing this, Bai Qi was furious. He immediately grabbed Beta’s head and started tugging, ignoring the exasperated Wu Yi.

“You really are as arrogant as ever!”

Wu Yi’s expression twisted. The Goddess of Light Butterfly behind him sensed its master’s emotions and immediately went into battle mode.

“Hm?”

But before the Goddess of Light Butterfly could launch an attack, Jerry, who’d been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He turned his head towards Wu Yi and the others. Gamma, Delta, and the other pets as well sensed the hostility and released their powerful auras, aiming them at Wu Yi and his group.

The terrifying aura enveloped the pets of the five Beast Masters. The Beast Masters themselves weren’t doing any better, wanting to retreat, but they found that their feet wouldn’t obey them.

“What’s going on?”

Bai Qi, who was still tussling with Beta, looked confused. Seeing Wu Yi and the others immobilized by Jerry and the pets, he immediately calmed his creatures.

“Are you Wu Yi?”

After sizing up the five people, Bai Qi recognized Wu Yi. He strode over to him, grabbed both of Wu Yi’s hands, and shook them enthusiastically.

“Thanks for giving me the Catastrophe System last time. It’s been of great help to me. You’re a good man.”

After setting aside the significant fact that the Catastrophe System had been able to completely sustain the Secret Realm Base, if it weren’t for Wu Yi, Bai Qi would have never met the ultra-defensive pet, Gamma.

Wu Yi: “…”

Could you please not bring up the things that hurt the most!
